Chapter 3
"OK, remember I got the letter from Mum when I was eleven years old. The Dursleys always called me a freak. I always knew I was different. I mean I'm a boy right. " Harry sighed knew this wasn't coming out right.
"Harry, I don't know what you are trying to say here but, yes you are a boy" Remus said looking at Harry wondering what Harry was trying to say.
"I didn't know about magic until Hagrid told me. That is not why I thought I was different." Said Harry.
"Then what did you think was different about you if it wasn't magic." Moony asked confused.
"Moony what you see when you look at me is not what I see." Harry tried to explain.
Remus could tell Harry was getting frustrated.
"Moony, I think it would be better if you just read Mum's letter." Harry said.
Harry handed the letter to Moony.
Harry;
If you have this letter James and I are no longer aliveand for some reason you are not with your godfather like we planned. I hope you are living with my sister. If you are living with her I really hope she has been treating you alright.
I am writing this letter in hopes of answering the questions that you most likely have. I bet you want to know why you don't look like other boys and why nobody seems to notice. I will answer those questions for you.
As you probably already know that you are a girl. James and I thought it would be safer for you if everybody thought you were a boy. I want you to know that we thought about this for a long time before disguise you. I hope you understand the reason we have done this. There is a prophesy that was made a long time ago. We believe you are the child that the prophesy spoke of. You will need to have someone you can trust to get you a copy
of the prophesy. It is called "THE SERPENT FOR THE LIGHT"
As for how we made everyone believe that you were a boy. We used a potion that is a lot like a polyjuice potion. The difference in the potion we used is that you need to use blood of the person you want to look like. It also lasts a lot longer and will made you to appear to be a male version of James and myself. That is what everyone will see. It is an illusion. You will be the only one that
can see thru the illusion.
In light of the danger will be in we thought it would be best to disguise till you were sixteen. We did it for two reasons. The first reason is the prophesy and the other reason is because you are not James Potter's child.
I know you want to know the name of the man that is your father. I am sorrybut I am not going to tell you yet. It is more important that you are safe. You will find another letter in yourvault on your sixteenth birthday. In thatletter I will explain all the things you need to know. Until then please keep the fact that you are a girl and that James Potter is not your father a secret.
Remember that we love you and we will be watching over you.
With all my love
your mother
Lily
Remus had to read the letter three times just to make sure he was reading it correctly. It was hard to believe all this time Harry was really a girl.
"Harry who else knows and how did you know you were a girl?"
"No one knows that I am a girl. If I look down, I see a girl with all the correct parts. You don't know how weird it is to see a boy when you look in the mirror. Then look down and see a girl. That's what I thought my aunt and uncle meant when they called me a freak. There was a time that I thought that I was mental. I mean, no one could see that I was a girl but me I thought I was seeing things until I got the letter from mum." Harry said
"So when you look in the mirror you see yourself as a boy but, if you look down you see your real self? "You know that would be a great prank." They both started laughing.
"Maybe we should talk to Fred and George about making something like that. I would love to see Ron face if he looked down and saw that he was a girl." Chuckled Harry
They looked at each other with big grins on their faces. Harry was thinking how nice it was to have someone to talk to.
"So the potion will wear off in a week." At Harry's nod Remus continued "We need to tell Dumbledore. I know you are mad at him but, he will need to know before school starts anyway. We will need to get you some girl clothes you can't walk around in what you have now."
"Do you think Tonks could go shopping with me? I don't know anything about what buy."Harry added "I don't even know where to go"
"That's probably a good idea" Remus agreed. "We should talk to Snape about the potion."
"WHAT!" yelled Harry "I don't want anything to do with him can you imagine what he will say."Harry said in horrified voice.
"Harry, he is the only person who would know anything about the potion. Maybe when he finds out that you are not a Potter he might treat you a little better? Did you know he was friends with your mother?"
After thinking about it Harry agreed and Remus left to get Dumbledore and Snape. Harry decided to make some cookies while he waited for Remus to return with the others.
