'Where were they?'

That thought kept repeating in Harry's head as they looked around the black void they found themselves in. The last thing they remembered was lying down on a stone slab for the ritual—and the next thing they knew, they were in an endless black void.

Sighing, Harry tried to figure out what to do. Should they just sit down and wait, or walk in a random direction? The former sounded like a bad idea—it seemed they were the only one there. The latter sounded better: randomly walking in a direction until they found something. Harry made their decision and started walking, turning their head left and right, scanning for something that could help them get out of the void.

Pretty soon, Harry got tired of their hair always flipping in their face when they turned. Grabbing it, they pulled it from their face and threw it behind them. Pausing, they realized something: Hair = Long. Looking down, Chest = Big. Harry gave a yelp of surprise at that. They had long hair and breasts!

"Holy shit..." Harry mumbled, the feeling of surrealism floating around as they realized that the ritual had worked. It actually worked! Ignoring that it worked for a moment, Harry focused on more important matters—their name. Now that they were clearly a girl, they couldn't keep going by 'Harry,' as that was most definitely a boy's name. Rose was out of the question—they wanted to be in control of what they named themselves. No offense to their blood-adopted parents, though.

They wanted a name that meant something—something dramatic or beautiful. Either would work for them. Suddenly, a book fell onto their head, causing Harry to yelp in shock and fall over.

Rubbing their head, Harry grumbled as they looked at where the book had fallen. It was simple-looking, with a light brown cover and the words, '101 Baby Girl Names with Meanings,' making Harry frown.

"How did—?" Harry stared at it confusedly. The book had come from literally nowhere. 'Wait,' eyes widening, Harry wondered aloud, "Can I have a chair to read?" And with a small bang, a plush, light sea-green chair held up with sturdy light-brown wood appeared in front of them. Harry stared at it, surprised that it had even worked.

Standing up, Harry grabbed the book and moved over to the chair, poking it. Yeah, it was solid. Sitting down, Harry sighed contentedly—this had to be one of the most comfortable chairs they'd ever sat in. Harry was even counting the super comfy chairs they had sat in within the Room of Requirement and the Gryffindor Common Room.

Thinking on it, Harry realized that this room seemed more like the Room of Requirement than not. So maybe they could use it like that until they found a way out.

Opening the book, Harry started looking through it for a name that called out to them, as cheesy as that might seem. After a while, they had narrowed their new name down to around four names. Harry figured they could possibly use one as a second middle name, as they wanted to keep the name Dive to remember who they were, and to remember their parents, both biological and adopted, even if they didn't know anything about the first two.

The first name they found that they liked was 'Khaalida.'

Meaning: Deathless, she who is Immortal

Gender: Girl

Religion: None

Origin: Arabic

Khaalida called out to Harry in a way they couldn't identify. They added it to the list because of this.

The second name was 'Kenna.'

Meaning: Born from the flames

Gender: Girl

Religion: Christianity

Origin: Scottish

Harry liked this name because, if they thought about it, Harry was being reborn from the flames of their old life, like a phoenix. The flames of the Goblet of Fire had paved the way for Harry to discover who they really were.

The third name was 'Acacia.'

Meaning: Immortality and resurrection, the name of a flower

Gender: Girl

Religion: -

Origin: Greek (Flower named after a Greek botanist)

The last name that called out to them the most was 'Adriane.'

Meaning: Dark in French, German, and English

Gender: Girl

Religion: -

Origin: German

Harry instantly decided on Adriane after seeing it, but they liked the others and decided to use one as a second middle name.

The first name called to them, but they didn't think the name 'Adriane Khaalida Dive Potter' had a good ring to it. Something was telling them that they would be using the name 'Khaalida' for something later.

Harry didn't really like the name 'Adriane Acacia Dive Potter'—once again, there was no good ring to it.

However, Harry did love the name 'Adriane Kenna Dive Potter' and decided to use that name. Now they just had to get used to being a girl and thinking of themselves by the name Adriane.

Now Harry—er, Adriane—sort of wanted to know what a Saiyan was, and maybe what a Kryptonian was afterward. Suddenly, a second book fell, hitting her on the head, making her yelp in shock again. Glaring at it, she looked around and her eyes widened as they landed on the title:

'History of the Saiyan Race and the Planet Vegeta'

This was a book about her father's race, his species. Adriane ripped open the book and soaked in the words. While before, Adriane had loved reading, right now she was devouring each word, every page, committing them to memory so she wouldn't forget even the smallest bit of her father's world and people.

Adriane read from the start of the planet to the first Saiyan to exist—Bardock, to the Super Saiyans and the fighting, to the end of the planet itself, and of the very few space pods that escaped Lord Frieza's wrath, which had destroyed their planet.

Adriane stared blankly at the book as a few tears trailed down her cheeks. Then, the dam on her emotions broke, and she started crying. She cried at the thought that thousands of children had been brutally murdered, she yelled at the fact that her birth father was a killer, and she sobbed at the fact that out of billions of Saiyans, only nine full-blooded Saiyans escaped. Adriane didn't count herself among them, as she hadn't been on that planet or her other parent's planet; she had already been sent to Earth.

These are the names of the Saiyans that escaped the destruction of Planet Vegeta:

Prince Vegeta, the oldest son of King Vegeta.

Prince Tarble, the youngest son of King Vegeta and brother of Prince Vegeta.

Nappa, the partner of Prince Vegeta.

Turles.

Bardock, who turns out to be the same Saiyan as the first Super Saiyan in existence. Time travel was weird.

Paragus, the father of Broly.

Broly, the son of Paragus, and one of the, if not the, most powerful Saiyans out there—luckily for Adriane, she wasn't just a Saiyan.

Raditz, the oldest son of Bardock.

Kakarot, the youngest son of Bardock and younger brother of Raditz, who was also the only one out of all the Saiyans that survived who had been sent to Earth.

Adriane now knew almost everything about her father's race, and now all she needed to do was find out more about her mother's race. Just as she thought that, another book landed on her head, making Adriane glare at it, a few tears in her eyes from the hit.

"Will books please stop dropping onto my head?!" Sighing, Adriane reached down, picked up the book, and, looking at the cover, she saw that it was the history of her mother's race. She opened it and started reading with enthusiasm.

This one was longer, but she finished it with tears in her eyes. Once again, she started crying for all the children who would never get to live. She sobbed for the fact that only a few handfuls of Kryptonians had escaped the planet, and she screamed for the fact that the few children who escaped would never know their families—that they would only have imprints of them, for those who had been lucky to escape with crystals containing their parents' last messages.

Soon, Adriane got tired, which was weird, as she had to have spent at least a day walking, then another reading. Why was she only now getting tired? Adriane didn't have time to question it, as her eyes slowly drifted closed and she fell asleep, curling up into a ball, still in the light green chair.

When Adriane woke up, she found herself in a bed, which in itself was strange because the last thing she remembered was falling asleep in the most amazing chair she had ever sat in, after crying her eyes out over the fates of her birth parents' home planets.

Opening her eyes, she looked around, seeing that she was in a strange-looking hospital-esque place. This must've been where the Goblins took her after she had passed out, Adriane thought, as she slowly sat up, expecting her body to be sore, but to her surprise, she felt as normal as could be.

Adriane heard a cough a moment later. Looking towards the source, she saw Grinlast standing there with another Goblin beside him, wearing a light-grey robe and with slightly more feminine features than Grinlast, but Adriane didn't want to misgender them, so she decided that she would just call them by they/them pronouns until otherwise specified.

"Welcome to the waking world, Harry." Grinlast gave her a feral smile. "You impressed the Goblin nation yesterday, going through that ritual, only falling unconscious when it was finished. Most do so during it, rather than after."

Adriane gave them a small smile; she wasn't good at dealing with compliments, even if they were backhanded or misdirected.

Grinlast gestured to the Goblin next to him. "This is my sister, Karlast. She was the one to treat you after the ritual." Karlast gave Adriane a nod, smiling softer than Adriane had ever seen a Goblin smile before, but to be fair, she hadn't been around that many Goblins, and even then, they were mostly males, so she wouldn't know if this was typical for them.

"Have you decided on a new name, young one?" Karlast spoke, her voice softer than Adriane expected, which threw her off-balance for a moment before she nodded. "Yes, I have." Adriane hesitated. What if they didn't like it? What if they thought it was childish? What if they—? She cut off her traitorous thoughts. They wouldn't think less of her; they had helped her.

Grinlast gestured for her to continue. Adriane took a deep breath, letting it out slowly to calm her nerves before speaking. "I decided on Adriane for my first name—it means 'darkness' in three different languages that I know of."

Grinlast nodded. "That is a proper name you have chosen."

"I, uh, also picked out two middle names." Seeing the interest on their faces, Adriane continued. "I decided on the name Kenna. It means 'born from the flames,' and I figured it fit. And I'm keeping the middle name Dive, so my full name will be Adriane Kenna Dive Potter." Adriane smiled a little; she loved her new name already. Even just speaking it gave her chills.

"Very good choices. Those are fine, strong names for a young lady such as yourself." Adriane beamed at Karlast, happy they liked it.

"Now, when you escape my sister's care, we shall talk about the state of your estate and whether you wish to claim your titles." Grinlast nodded to Adriane before walking out of the room, leaving Adriane to the tender mercies of his sister.
