Tiny Dancer:
October 1995:
Rose Lilly Evans Potter finished her dance number and looked over at her aunt in the wings for approval. Ever since Li as Victoria called her had come to her on a cold November morning, she had seen the beauty in her and her cousin Daisy and knew she could make money off the girls. She was right, both were beautiful,, Li had long raven hair and green eyes and despite eating very well was very tiny. Daisy was taller, stocker with long flaxen hair and blue eyes. Both loved to dance, any kind of dance and at a young age had caught first the attention of modeling agencies and finally a dance troop. Victoria was happy that her teen girls were able to balance school and dance, mostly Li, she had to go to that awful Hogwarts and this year their ministry tried to ban her leaving over the weekends for her dancing!
Once the contract had been seen the ministry backed down but they did try to make her niece's life miserable, that cow Dorian Umbridge was there now and though Li kept her head down he tried to harm her. Well Victoria had not stood for it and now Umbridge had found out what a muggle could do, try to use a blood quill on her kin? No Victoria would not stand for it, Li had only said it was her mother who had defeated the Lady Voldemort not her and she was to write lines of "I must not tell lies" for that? Not on her watch, for everyone who had a brain knew Lily Potter had saved her daughter's life. Li smiled at her aunt, who smiled back and led her back to where Phillip waited, a tall thin man with a sour expression so like Louis and unlike his pureblood wife Julia who most did not understand why she would marry him. She had such a sunny personally and everyone loved her, even Sari Snape who could be cold as ice at times.
"All done then?" Philip said to his wife.
"Yes, they did so well." Victoria said, "come I think Marcus may be at the restaurant."
"What do you see in him exactly?" Philip said. "Dog breeder, probably not legal."
"He is a dear, and sweet and he has not had a drink in years, that should count for something. Besides he breeds service dogs that help those with physical disabilities, and is a very good breeder."
Philip just grunted, he was a good man, worked hard to provide a good living for his family at Grunnings as it's director, but he was cold and aloof most of the time. He let Li stay in his house and had her treated well because that was the right thing to do, and in his own way cared for the girl a little bit. He did not care for magic and thought there was a better word for what Li did but it was not his world so not his problem. The family was about to head out when a women that looked a bit like Rose grabbed them all and flashed them to Grimmauld place where Serena waited. Philip was not in a good mood but on seeing Serena he visibly relaxed, she was always kind to him and had always treated him well. Still he did not want to be a Grimmauld even if he did not know that was the name of this place.
"What is going on?" He asked.
"Death eaters decided to attack." Rose said, "they are walking into a trap, now Li, I need your help."
"Who are you?" Li said "you look familiar."
"Well that is because I am a version of you." Rose said getting Victoria to really look at her. "This is the first world with a girl-who-lived I have been in."
"Why is that?" Daisy asked.
"Well, roughly 15% of all Harry Potter universes have girls-who-lived, 10% (and yes she did say % though it was not like percent, look it up I don't know how it works) are wrong-boy-who lived, 2% are wrong-girl-who lived and 3% are evil Harry Potter. The rest are just Harry Potter and that is that." Rose replied, "anyway I am here to help you, and do I have a plan."
"I engage Augustine in a dance off?" Li asked.
"Yes, leave the rest to me." Rose said, "this will be amazing, do please have it in the great hall, wear your green gown and sparkly tights." Rose said.
"Let me do your hair!" Daisy all but squealed.
"I don't like this." Phillip said.
"My dear you don't like much of anything." Marcus replied, "magic, I do like it and dance, ah that I would love to see."
"Can't statute and all, barely can have you here." Selina Black said from the doorway, "I must say no to the dress, our Li here can breakdance and that is what she will do."
"Yea, yea I could." Li said.
A week later Li was in the great hall with Umbridge, a short very fat ugly man glaring at her. Li had said the lady Voldemort was coming and would be there soon. Ron sat with Herm her long fire red hair tied in a long complicated plait. The twins Fred and Gigi sat with their hair done up in twin buns of fire on their heads. Drucilla Malfoy was watching and waiting. Her white blond hair was done perfectly in a pureblood style, her nails and makeup oh so perfect. Linus Lovegood was dreamily watching Alexandria Dumbledore as she sat at the head table, her long silver hair tied up on her head clad in purple robes trimmed in gold. The doors to the great hall banged open and Lady Voldemort entered.
Everyone gasped, for they knew it was she. She was tall and willowy of build and had long raven hair that fell to her waist freely. She was clad in outer robes of silver trimmed in gold with under robes of blood red that hugged her figure well. She was beautiful but it was a wrong kind of beauty that made one shudder and want to turn away. Her eyes, the irises were blood red as were her lips in her pale beautiful face. She seemed to float into the hall and came to stand before Li who threw aside her cloak to show off an outfit that many could not make out. She had on a simple green tee shirt, a pair of baggy brown pants and muggle trainers. She had tied back her long hair and looked, well many here were not sure what she looked like.
"Ready to battle?" Li said smiling at the dark lady.
"You will loose." Voldemort said coldly, "that is not a dance outfit my dear."
"Oh really?" Herm muttered, "someone about to get schooled."
"Very funny," Ron said, "remind me why I let you meet my mum and her awful puns?"
"She loves me and I her, she can really cook and was willing to teach me." Herm replied.
"Let's begin!" Li said.
Music started, but nothing like what Voldemort expected. It was the perfect music to break dance to and that is what Li was going to do. She went into classic challenge mode, not really doing anything major, just moving to the beat (if you have seen a dance off with break dancers you know what I mean) . Voldemort mimicked her and Li went into some simple moves that looked cool but still were easy, Voldemort followed. Then Li threw down the gauntlet and really let loose. Have you ever seen a good break dancer a really good one? That was Li, she put the best break dancers to shame with what she did. When she fell to the floor into a back spin that ended up as a head spin back to back spin, back on her feet, into a back flip the hall roared. She stepped back and bowed getting Voldemort to snarl at her.
Now the dance off was a distraction to let Rose bind Voldemort so she could not create more Horcruxes. As lady Voldemort watched Li, Rose went to work and found all the anchors and sent them through the veil. Still Lady Voldemort did not feel it. Not until Li took out her wand and with a smile send a spell Rose had taught her. The last thing that Lady Voldemort thought before dying was "owned", and then she was gone. The lifeless husk that had been the dark lady fell dead to the floor and Li smiled, now that Voldemort was gone she was going to enjoy her life.
Philip Evans was not a happy man, not only was his strange niece a w, well one of those, she was a break dancer. He had hoped her dancing with Daisy would have her in a more feminine sport but that was not to be. So he plastered on a smile, followed his wife and her brother as they toured the world and Li became a break dancing queen the world over. He wondered what would have happened had he stuck the child in a cupboard, then he remembered what Victoria was capable of and so continued to smile and act pleased at his niece. Li in the meantime continued to dance for ten years, got married and continued the Potter line with four children, two boys and two girls. By this time Rose had moved on a long time ago.

Omake:
Rose entered the bowling alley and saw him. AK stood clad in rumpled suit and tie a cigarette dangling from his mouth. She saw he was still using a Voldie-ball ™ (hey when AK patents something you don't question it). She never had liked that and so picked a nice purple and green ball to use.
"So how is the hunting going?" AK asked.
"Very well, your methods leave a lot to be desired." Rose said throwing her ball to get a strike.
"Yea well so far I have seen a Dumbledore suit and a tiny dancer, you need more challenges." AK said.
"You are enough of a pain." Rose said getting another strike.
"Yea well, try something new will you?"
"I don't choose my universes, that would be the lone traveler."
"Who?"
"Never mind."
AK used his Voldie-ball ™ and got all but two pins. His ball laughed at him and AK growled. AK started to hum Tiny Dancer (by Elton John) as he threw his ball again and swore. He would never get that song out of his head!
(AK belongs to nonjon, I am borrowing him okay? He is funny.)
Anyone know who the Lone Traveler belongs to? Guy in the back? No, seriously I would like to credit whoever owns him.
Anyway, review please!
