Disclamer: I don't own Harry potter
Auteur:UmbraSidas
A/N Kayley doesn’t look like James and Lily potter, this is because Kayley (Hariet) is part Metamorphmagus, but this will be explained in the later chapters. The real Kayley wasn’t a witch but a squib, but now that Hariet is Kayley Hogwards has sent Kayley a letter. The letter to Hariet is Dumbledore’s doing. That will be cleared up in the next chapter.
If you have any ideas or comments on the story, please review and I will see if I can use some of the idea’s.
Chapter 3
As Petunia was getting mail, she saw 2 Hogwarts letters for Harriet Potter. Petunia looked shocked at it, why were they getting letters for Harriet, yes she knew Kayley was Harriet, but yesterday she also received a letter for Kayley. She just didn’t get it. She threw the letters away in hope they would forget about it. But the next day there were three letters for Harriet. She had enough, she now knew that with each day that passed there would be an extra letter, so she sent a reply in hope the letters would stop arriving.
Dumbledore pov
Dumbledore was pleased, it was 11 years ago that he placed Harriet in the Dursleys care. She would most likely be malnutritioned and abused. Now all he had to do was to wait for her reply and sent Hagrid to get her. The big oof just loved Harriet since he carried her during that fateful night on his motorcycle. He was just sucking on his lemondrop when Minerva McGonagall walked in waving a letter. “Albus I just got a letter from the Dursleys, they say that there isn’t a Harriet Potter there and that the letters for her should stop”. Albus choked on his lemondrop, Minerva hurried to him and petted him on his back so he could spit out his candy. “WHAT!!!!” he yelled. This couldn’t be true. He had put Harriet on the doorsteps of the Dursleys. He snatched the letter from Minerva and read it.
Dear Hogwarts,
We don’t have a Harriet Jamie Potter here, so please stop your letters for her.
The Dursleys
Albus re-read the short letter several times and then he sat down again. No, no, no, all his plans, the fame, the richesse, he had to sent someone to check it out, but who could he sent? Well Hagrid was out of the question and he didn’t think Minerva was the right one for it. Aah, yes Severus would be good. He knew Petunia from when they were kids, although they weren’t friends like Severus was with Lilly.
Kayley’s pov
Kayley walked home from school, today was her last day of school and it had been a fun day. They had been playing games all day, and she made a promise with some of her friends that they would exchange letters during their time at boarding school. She was about to walk down the path of her home when she saw a strange man who had shoulder length black hair and a crooked nose standing in the middle of the street looking around. She knew she shouldn’t talk to strangers but she also knew that she should help people who are lost. She walked up to him, “Sir are you lost? Who are you looking for?” the man turned around and looked down at her. “Well miss Potter, I was looking for you”. The man said. Kayley looked confused, “Excuse me sir, but my name is Kayley Dursley and not Potter”, Kayley said. The man was now looking confused. “Well then, I was looking for the Dursleys”. Kayley smiled. “Follow me please”. She walked to her home and opened the door, “Mom! I’m home and we have a visitor!” Kayley yelled.
Petunia came from the kitchen. “Welcome home sweetie.” She looked at her visitor and saw Severus. “I just baked some cookies, why don’t you grab some.” Petunia said to Kayley. “Ok mum”, she said. She understood the hidden meaning, her mom wanted to talk to the man alone.
Petunia pov
“Please come in and sit down Severus”. Like most would think, she didn’t hate Severus. Yes she still didn’t like magic, but Severus is her only real link to Lily (Kayley is her child and not Lily’s in her mind) and he was also a childhood friend. “So I take it you came in reply to my letter?”. “Yes, I came to check if Harriet really isn’t here, but that girl Kayley, she does remind me of Lily and Potter”. Inside Petunia was panicking. They couldn’t find out about it. Kayley was her daughter and not Lily’s. “Well ofcourse she looks like Lily, Lily was my sister. They’re related. I think she also reminds you of Potter because of her hair. My father had dark brown hair, that’s where she gets it from.” Well even if it was sort of the truth, she just hoped that everyone would believe it. She saw that Severus was thinking.
Severus pov
‘hmmm... he saw the truth in it, Lily and Petunia were sisters, their father had some resemblance with Potter and he didn’t really see Petunia caring for her sisters child, she hated magic, he also didn’t see the scar on her forehead. And really no child of Potter could be so polite as this girl. No, this girl was Petunia’s child and there was no Potter here’. “Well I see, I will go and report it to the headmaster”, and he walked to the door.
At Hogwarts
Dumbledore was in his little land of dreams when someone knocked on his door. He snapped out of it and said “Come in”. Severus entered. “Aah Severus my boy, please sit down. Lemondrop?” Albus asked. “No thank you headmaster” Severus replied. “I came to tell you what I found out about Harriet”. “Oh yes, please do tell me about it” Albus replied. “Well it is true that there isn’t a Harriet Potter at the Dursleys. They have a daughter, Kayley Dursley, whom I first mistook for Harriet, but she didn’t have the scar and I don’t see Petunia taking care of the Potter child”. Albus sat there shocked. He had hoped it was all a misunderstanding. He was sure that he had dropped Harriet at the Dursleys, unless she was kidnapped that same night. After a few minutes he said “Thank you Severus, that was all”, and with that he dismissed Severus. Now he knew. All of his plans to become rich and famous were gone. How should he tell this to the media, the teachers, the school. And for the whole day Dumbledore sat there with those troublesome thoughts.
Time skip
Dumbledore was sucking on his lemondrops while he sat in his office. He had a whole new plan to become rich and famous. He would just use the Longbottom child. He was also born at the end of the seventh month, but now he had to convince the media that not Harriet Potter, but Neville Longbottom was the chosen one. He had to work on a new evil masterplan on how to do this.
It was the day of the departure. Kayley didn’t know if she should be happy that she was beginning a new adventure and make new friends, or that she should be sad that she was leaving her family behind. She had everything packed in her trunk and was waiting by the door. “Hurry up mom, dad, I don’t want to be late!” Kayley yelled. It was only 9:30 am and the train was going at 11 am but she didn’t want to be late, what if they would be stuck in traffic or something. No she wanted to be there on time. After 10 more minutes everyone was ready and they were on there way to the train station.
They finally arrived at 10:45 am. It was a good thing they left early, bloody traffic. They walked to platform 9 and 10. Kayley looked around confused, where is platform 9 ¾. Petunia was glad that she went here before with her parents and Lily. “Ok sweety, you need to walk trough this pillar to get to platform 9 ¾”. Kayley looked at her as if she was nuts. “Don’t look at me like that. I have been here before when your aunt went to Hogwarts” Petunia said. Kayleys eyes widened, her aunt had gone to Hogwarts? Why didn’t she know about that. Just as she wanted to ask, her mother shook her head. “Just walk through the pillar, we will be right behind you” she said. Kayley looked at the pillar, it looked normal, but she trusted her mother, so she walked to it and closed her eyes. When she didn’t feel anything she opened her eyes and she was stumped. She saw a big red locomotive, many people dressed in weird outfits and many animals. Cleo was meowing, shocked from all the noise. Kayley had decided to leave Hedwig at home so that her family could write her.
She looked back and saw her mother appear through the pillar. ‘Wow that looks weird’, Kayley thought. Next came her father and then Dudley. Her father and Dudley didn’t looked pleased being here and surrounded by all those freaky people.
Her mother went to her and started hugging and kissing her, then it was her fathers turn, he gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek and said “Now remember, no talking to weird looking people, no boys who look abnormal and do your best at school”. Vernon wasn’t really happy that their daughter went to a magic school, but he knew it was for the best and Petunia had convinced him, he smiled at the memory. She got a hug from Dudley and she had to promise him that if she had any trouble with nasty guys or girls she would contact him and he would come and beat them up. She smiled and looked at the clock 10:58. She looked around and boarded the train. She waved to her parents and after hearing a whistle, the doors of the train closed.
