Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. As far as reviewers have told me, though, I apparently do own the idea of Harry being transformed into a girl for such a reason, which is nice. It's pretty difficult to come up with something original when there are so many stories out there.
Hayden walked into the renowned bank with Poppy by her side the next morning. She was a bit nervous about this trip, considering she had robbed Gringotts a few months prior, but she had later been assured that due to her 'service' getting rid of the Horcrux in Bellatrix's vault she was excused.
"Are you sure about this, Hayden?" Poppy asked, using her chosen name. It wasn't official yet, but the sooner she got used to it the better.
"Not really." Hayden admitted, before entering the bank. "Let's go." Poppy sighed, shaking her head before following her young friend.
Ten minutes later, after a whispered conversation with one of the bank tellers, Hayden and Poppy were led to an ornate office.
"Madam. Potter." A goblin greeted as he looked up at them. He narrowed his eyes at Hayden's new appearance, but couldn't detect any glamour spells or smell any hint of Polyjuice potion. "How may I help you today?"
"As you can tell, I am now in a new situation." Hayden started. "There is nothing I can do about it, so I decided to take advantage. As such, my first order of business is to change my name. Would I still hold my position as the head of my family?"
"Yes, I don't see why not." The goblin answered. "Your family has never cared about gender. Were you planning to keep your surname?"
"No, Potter is too well-known in our world, and considering I'm the last of my family, that wouldn't work." Hayden explained.
"You plan to disappear." The goblin stated, looking at her in contemplation.
"Yes." Hayden stated confidently. "As long as I'm known as…whatever the wizarding world is calling me these days, there's no way that I'll be left alone to live my life as I see fit. I've already had requests to join the Ministry, as the head of the DMLE no less, considering Madame Bones was killed. They don't seem to care that I am neither qualified nor interested, and aren't taking no for an answer."
"We fear that they will try and find a way to enslave her to do their bidding." Poppy spoke up. "The Ministry has already demonstrated their willingness to stomp all over his-now her, rights. What other minor has ever been tried as an adult for something as simple as under-aged magic?"
"I wouldn't put it past them." The goblin (whose nameplate said Ragnarok) agreed, before pulling out a few files from his desk. "First, write down your current name, your chosen name, and then sign by both."
Hayden did so, before they continued to put together what she needed to live. Documents updated with her new name, doctored school and medical records, a credit card, identification card, passport, permit allowing her to apparate until she could take the actual exam (which she had never had the opportunity to do during the war), and whatever else they could think of.
"And what should I put for family history?" Ragnarok asked, finally. Poppy looked at Hayden for her answer, considering they hadn't thought about that.
"I've decided to masquerade as my own heir." Hayden said with a smirk. Ragnarok and Poppy looked at her like she was insane.
"Excuse me?" Ragnarok ventured.
"I intend to take a de-aging potion soon, making me about ten or eleven years old. Once that's done, I'm going to apply to Phoenix Academy, and use their time compression option. By the time I'm eventually 'discovered' by the wizarding world, enough years will have passed, and I'll still be young enough, that I can say that my 'now deceased father', Harry Potter and my mother had me before they died in a car accident when I was young."
Poppy raised her eyebrows at the intricate plan, with Ragnarok smirked, appreciating the girl's cunning.
"It's poetic, really." Hayden mused. "When I lived with my guardians, before I got my Hogwarts letter they had told me that my parents had died in a car crash."
The other two had nothing to say to that, and so Ragnarok merely wrote down her 'history' to her specifications.
An hour later, the two of them left the bank, wincing at the bright sunlight. Poppy turned to Hayden with a smile, before gesturing towards the alley.
"After you, Miss Hayden Venturi." Hayden rolled her eyes, but complied.
Note: I was wondering what I would have her last name be, when my sister decided to watch the old Disney channel series Life with Derek, and I liked the name. It doesn't really matter that she doesn't look Italian, since having the name doesn't necessarily mean much. Anyway.
Sorry this is so short. Well, not much shorter than usual, but I had still intended this to be longer. My laptop power cord frayed and isn't working anymore, so I don't have access to a computer while at home. I did order a replacement, though, which is supposed to arrive on Tuesday.
Reviews are love!
Oh, on another note, I'm going to be having Rin Okumura from Blue Exorcist in the story later on. I am considering making Rin a girl (naturally, not turned into one like Hayden), but I'm on the fence about it. Thoughts?
