Cepheus laid his new daughter in her new bedroom and watched her small chest rise and fall with every breath and exhales.
He pulled out the documents that Petunia signed and silently cackled, the woman made the rookie mistake of not reading the fine print before signing.
Because in the fifth paragraph, section three, states she cannot under no circumstance (hence forced or freely) be able to communicate to anyone about what had occurred.
Considering this is Petunia he was talking about, Harry wiped her memory of ever being there and left a clone of Holly who would live there for the next 6 years (or whenever Dumbledore figures it out) while the real Holly would live under his protection.
Now he had to deal with the Goblins, a nasty bunch they are.
"Taffy, come here silently please." A soft pop could be heard if you strained your ears to listen.
"Master Cepheus be needing Taffy?" A female house-elf asked.
Harry smiled and patted the little elf's head, Taffy blushed shyly. "At noon please wake my daughter Holly up if she isn't up by then for lunch, alert me as well."
Taffy nodded, "Yes master Cepheus, Taffy be doing as told. Taffy obedient, a good elfling. Yes she is." Her ears flapping happily at her self praise.
Harry chuckled, "yes yes."

Holly felt something was off. She slowly opened her eyes and she immediately understood what was wrong.
Tall ceilings greeted her along with floating fairy lights. She sat up quickly and looked around the room in awe.
The bed she was lying in was extremely soft and big with a white cushioned backboard and a light colored wooden frame. She smiled at the light blue-grayish and white "princess" curtains.
Then she glanced at the matching white and light colored wooden furniture. She even had her own sitting room! Two white love seats facing each other with a light wooden coffee table in between.
A beanbag! There's even a beanbag! Whose ever room this is, is so lucky!
She turned her head to look around once more when a gray creature popped in front of her.
She screamed. "Alien! Alien! ALIENS ARE REAL AaAAHHH!"
Taffy burst into tears, she didn't know why her littlest Miss was screaming. What was an alien anyways?
Holly saw the alien crying and immediately felt bad. "I-I'm sorry for screaming at you little alien." She stuttered an apology.
The alien looked distressed, "I no alien little Miss. I house-elf, a good little house-elf. Taffy wants to punish herself but Master forbids."
Holly paused, what was a house-elf?
Wait. Little Miss?
"What did you call me?" She questioned the newly named alie—house-elf Taffy.
Taffy immediately became happy, "Little Miss Holly! Yous Master Cepheus adopted daughter now, yes you are!" She cheerfully answered.
Holly felt her tiny jaw drop, so she wasn't dreaming? It really happened. A relative took her away and adopted her! She concluded happily before her smile dropped.
What if they don't like her and realize she's a bad girl and drops her back off with the Dursley, she crumbled at the thought of being returned.
Taffy noticed her sudden shift in emotions, "Master Cepheus ordered Taffy to dress little Miss for lunch, yes he did!" She squeaked.
Holly went to slide off the bed only to feel something block her from rolling off the edge, she tried a few other places but the results were the same.
Taffy took pity on the little Miss and explained, "Master Cepheus worried little Miss would fall off the bed and hurt yourself. Master Cepheus guarded the bed so only adults can take you out or one of the house-elves. If little Miss needs to use the loo (at anytime) just call one of the elves and we bes helping little Miss!"
The only thing Holly took from that was Master Cepheus, her new dad, was worried about her falling off the bed. No one cared if she got hurt before, she lightly blushed suddenly feeling tingly and warm inside.
Wait. This bedroom was hers? "This is my room?" She questioned softly. Taffy nodded enthusiastically.
"Yes! Yes, little Miss! Master Cepheus decorated and made this room for little Miss, yes he did!"
Holly allowed Taffy to use her magic— something that shocked her– to lift her out of her bed and dress her.
Holly once again felt her tiny jaw drop at the sheer amount of dresses, coats, clothes, shoes, tiaras, jewelries— you name it! Her closet was bursting.
"T-this is all for me?" She breathed.
"Yes." A masculine voice answered. Holly turned around quickly, it was the man who took her away from aunt Petunia. Uncle Harry... or is it dad now?
She looked up at him shyly, "really?" She softly asked again.
The man, HER DAD, chuckled and unhurriedly walked up and picked her gently up into his arms.
His hazel eyes crinkled in amusement, "It's all just for you. Ma princesse." Holly tilted her head in question, not understanding what he just said.
Harry chuckled and pecked her forehead, ma princesse, my princess." He clarified.
Holly let out a cute gasp, a princess! She was someone's princess!
