Harriet Potter was just twenty-one years old and she was on her way to Gringotts before she met up with Headmistress McGonagall for a meeting about becoming the DADA Professor for the upcoming year. However, she knew that with her luck something was bound to happen no matter what. When? and Where? It would happen was another mystery because it usually happened when she least expected it.

At Gringotts...

Harriet was sitting and talking with her goblin accountant well her goblin account manager who is over the Potter Family Accounts and the Black Family Accounts. She was setting up a Lupin-Black account for her godson, Teddy considering that he was going to be the Black Heir if something ever happened to her.

After she finished talking about the Accounts, she immediately brought something up to be on the safe side.

"Please, repeat that Lady Potter-Black?" Sharpnook questioned.

Harriet sighed and said, "Knowing my luck sometimes something always seems to happen. So, just to be on the safe side, I want to create an alter ego per say."

"Pray tell Lady Potter-Black, what would this alter ego be?" Sharpnook asked.

"It would either be Selene Potter or Selene Peverell." Harriet answered.

Sharpknook thought a moment and said, "Your alter ego or better known as an alias would Selene Rosa Peverell but was blood adopted by a Potter Family member that lived in either the states or in France." Sharpnook said with a grin.

"That could work, Sharpnook. However, I'm sure that the Minstery would have to have it for their records as well." Harriet said.

Sharpnook nodded and said, "Already done. Take this and set it for ten years into the past."

Harriet looked at Sharpnook confused but did as he suggested and then within a few minutes a light ingulfed Harriet and she was gone.

Sharpnook said quietly to himself, "This is one gift that we of the Goblin Nation decided to give you, Lady Potter-Black because you treated us with respect. At least, I can do is let you live a new life as someone else in your past."

September 1, 1991 at Hogwarts...

Harriet and her friends were near the Black Lake as well as Draco Malfoy and his cronies as they were arguing; when suddenly they heard a splash. They turned to face the Lake and saw a young woman's head pop up out of the water. They wondered who she was as they watched her swim to the edge.

They watched as she got out of the lake. The boys were blushing while the girls gasped in shock.

The woman faced them and said, "What?"

Hermione spoke, "Your clothes are see threw!"

"Really? I hadn't noticed! Luckily I was wearing a bikini underneath my dress!" The woman said sarcastically.

"It's improper for women to wear such things. " Pansy said.

"Not in the states or in France!" The woman said.

Before they could say anything else; the Professors had come running to the lake and they were stunned to see a young woman standing there with the students who was dressed inappropriately.

The woman saw the reaction of the people that approached and said, "WHAT ARE YOU STARING AT?!"

Severus Snape spoke, "Miss, you are at Hogwarts and are dressed completely inappropriate."

The woman looked at the man that had spoken to her and said, "Oh, merdé!" then fainted.

Everyone blinked.

"She's not entirely dressed inappropriately." Hermione said.

"What do mean, Miss Granger?" Minerva asked.

"Well, she's wearing a two piece swim suit under her dress and it's a style in the Muggle World." Hermione said.

Harriet and the others including Draco Malfoy explained what happened; Flitwick and Snape were volunteered to the young woman to the infirmary to get check out by Madam Pomfrey.

After a while Harriet looked at Draco after a few minutes and said, "Did she faint at seeing Professor Snape?"

Draco nodded and said, "She also cussed in French."

"I wonder who she is?" Ron questioned.

"Guess..."

"We'll find out..."

"later..."

"today."

"You two are creepy when you do that."

Neville stated.

"Thanks." Fred and George said in unison.

So, everyone headed back inside because it was nearly lunch time and rumors started going around about the mysterious young woman who had emerged from the Black Lake.

Meanwhile, in the infirmary...

Madam Pomfrey had been informed by a house elf that a young woman was being brought up. So, she fixed a bed for the young woman and also had some potions in case she needed them to treat the young woman. She wondered when her new patient when arrive until she heard, "Severus, I'm surprised that the young woman fainted when she saw you."

"Yes, well I was surprised by it as well, Professor Flitwick." Severus said, "It was almost as if she knew me."

Professor Flitwick and Professor Snape were still talking as they entered the infirmary with the young woman.

From what Madam Pomfrey could see, is that the young woman was very beautiful and completely drenched. She wasn't exactly happy that someone forgot to dry her off before they brought her here. Then again, she everyone still had been in shock from seeing this beautiful young lady.

Madam Pomfrey pointed to the bed that the young woman would be laying on. So, Severus and Philius placed the young woman on the bed. However, Severus noticed that the young woman hadn't been dried off completely and casted the drying off charm to dry the young woman off; but he was still plugged by the look in the young woman's eyes when she saw him.

Philius and Severus left the infirmary; so Poppy could care for the young woman. They headed off to the Great Hall for supper an they knew that Dumbledore was going to make an announcement about the young woman who suddenly appeared in the Black Lake and was now residing in the infirmary here at Hogwarts.

After a few minutes, the young woman began to stir. She opened her eyes as she recognized the familiar ceiling of the hospital wing of Hogwarts and she was a little bit upset and muttered to herself.
Madam Pomfrey at that moment chose to back in the wing bringing her something to eat and said, "I see that you're awake."
The young woman nodded.
Madam Pomfrey was wondering why the young woman was looking in awe of her surroundings and asked, "What has you in awe, miss?"
"I guess I am more surprised because I recall my cousin telling me stories of his adventures in school. To be honest, I haven't seen my cousin since he married because I became so busy with my studies. I have to admit though, he treated me like a sister that he never had." The young woman said without thinking.
"So, I assume your cousin attended Hogwarts?" Pomfrey questioned.
"Yeah, he told he and his friends would cause trouble a lot. I believe that they called themselves the Maurders or something like that." The young woman answered.
Madam Pomfrey froze for a moment and then asked, "What is your name, dear?"
"Oh? It's Selene...Selene Rosa Potter." The young woman answered.
Madam Pomfrey dropped the tray of food just as Dumbledore, Minerva, and Severus walked in the Head of the DMLE and two Aurors.
Selene was surprised to see the one person that she had fallen in love with standing there breathing and so full of life, but she realized that she would have to still to the story that she had come up with before Sharpnook gave her the device.
Dumbledore noticed that Poppy was in shock and said, "Whatever you've said to Poppy has her in shock."
"Clearly! I mean one minute I sitting in Gringotts branch in New York City talking regardless of being on an undercover case and the next that I know is that I'm here at the very school that my cousin told me about. Not to mention, I mention that I was dropped in freezing cold water!" The young woman ranted.
"New York City?! That's clear across the pond!" Minerva said shocked.
"You're clothes?" Severus questioned.
"It's Fashion Week in New York and even though I was undercover; someone mistook me as a Fashion Model. No doubt, my supervisor will call." Selene said.
"Undercover?" Moody questioned.
"Yes and I didn't have time to change because the case was solved. Plus, I had been pot keyed to the New York Gringotts Bank branch then suddenly portkeyed here apparently do to a portkey designed by my cousin and two of his friends. Which I haven't seen in Merlin knows how long!" Selene said.
"Just who was your cousin?" Dumbledore questioned.
"James Charlus Potter and I swear if this is idea of a joke; I'll kick his behind clear to the moon!" Selene said sarcastically.
Everyone in room was quiet at what the young woman had said.
"My dear, I am afraid I have some bad news to tell you." Dumbledore stated.
Selene looked at Dumbledore with her silverish green tinted eyes and said, "Tell me!"
"James and Lily Potter are dead and their only child, Harriet Selene Jayme Potter survived." Dumbledore said.
To everyone in the room; Selene Potter seemed surprised by Harriet's full name and then she smiled saying, "If there's one thing I know about James and that is he trusts those he considers family. How did they die?" Selene asked.
"The killing curse and only Harriet survived." Dumbledore stated.
"We don't know how Harriet survived the killing curse." Kingsly said.
Selene chuckled and said, "Sometimes the Potters seem to do the impossible no matter how times trouble seems to find us."
