The Struggles Of Being Sarah Potter, The-Transgender-Girl-Once-Boy-Who-Lived

Becoming Sarah

Disclaimer: Phoenix_Malfoy- Sarah, do the disclaimer
Sarah- Fine, Phoenix_Malfoy does not own Harry Potter or the reference to Percy Jackson.
(A/N: Harry will always be referred to as Sarah and with female pronouns in her head and after her conversion. Just wanted to make that clear. Edit: I've gotten several comments saying that it's unrealistic, and Sarah wouldn't know at this age, it's really more so to further the plot than anything else. So, just putting that out there for the people that commented on it.)
"Up, Harry, or do you want to be late to your first day of preschool?" Aunt Petunia said as she knocked on Sarah's Cupboard door lightly. So, Sarah got out of bed and put on her awful boy clothes.
"How many times do I have to tell you Aunt Petunia, I am not a boy. I am a girl" Sarah says as she exits her Cupboard.
"Oh Harry, how many times do I have to tell you, you aren't a girl. You are a boy. Though I would love a daughter." Aunt Petunia said.
Sarah was upset her Aunt Petunia wouldn't believe her. She had to chose the name Sarah all by herself at age 3 1/2. She trudged out the door and started walking to school, as it wasn't very far away. She arrived at the school, and the teacher, Mrs. Kerr, told her to sit on the circular carpet. She told Sarah they would start class soon, and to sit wherever she wanted. She immediately went over to the group of girls, walking straight past the group of boys on the carpet. One of the girls with long blond hair asked her "Hi, what's your name? Mine's Kate-Lynn."
The name popped out of her mouth before she could stop it "Sarah".
"Sarah? But you look like a boy." Kate-Lynn said.
"Everyone thinks I am a boy, but I am really a girl. Even my Aunt, Uncle, and Cousin think I'm a boy." Sarah says. "What about your parents? Do they think you are a boy too?" Kate-Lynn asked.
"My parents are dead. They were murdered when I was 1. I don't remember them very well, but if I think carefully I can hear my mum singing me a lullaby." Sarah said honestly.
"Oh, I'm so sorry! It must make you so sad to talk about them!" Kate-Lynn said, clearly nervous that she had made Sarah upset.
"No, it's okay! I can't remember them very well anyway, and my Aunt, Uncle, and cousin are very nice. Don't think you made me upset." Sarah said, not wanting Kate-Lynn to think she had made her sad.
The last of the the kids came through the door, and Mrs. Kerr said, "Okay, to everyone who is not already, please find a seat on the carpet. You will be telling everyone your name, and something you like to do. Okay I will start, I'm Mrs. Kerr, and I like teaching prekindergarten. (Cue useless O.Cs) okay, next?"
"Hi, I'm Alex, and I like climbing trees." Alex, a brown haired boy said.
"I'm Cam, and I like playing on the swing set." A boy with red hair said.
"I'm Ben, Cam's twin brother, and I like Playing on the swing set with Cam." Said a boy who looked identical to Cam. "I'm Jason, and I like to play Superman!" Said a blond haired kid.
"I'm Dudley, and I like playing with my toys my parents buy me." Dudley said.
"I'm Kitti, and I like to pretend I'm a cat! I picked out my name all by myself!" Said a girl with black hair that seemed to look blue, even though it isn't.
"I'm Phoenix, and I like to read, Mum taught me how, now I never want to stop!" A girl with red hair said.
"I'm Mya, and I like to pretend Daddy is a horse and ride on him!" A girl with shoulder length dirty blonde hair.
"And I'm Topaz, Preferring Paz, Mya's Twin sister, and I like to go camping!" Said a girl with brown, pixie cut, hair.
"I'm Kate-Lynn, and I like making new friends!" Kate-Lynn said.
Then, Sarah's turn. Now, to introduce herself with her real name, or fake name? "Hi, my name is Sarah-"
Dudley then cut in and said "no it isn't! Your name is Harry!"
Then everyone looked at me and Mrs. Kerr asked gently "Harry, why did you introduce yourself as Sarah?"
"Because, Sarah is my real name. When I say I am a girl, no one listens, they say 'no Harry, your a boy' and I wanted to be accepted as myself, Sarah, and not Harry, who everyone thinks I am. Anyway, I like weeding the garden with my Aunt Petunia." Sarah said.
"Okay class, I think we can all agree Sarah needs to be called Sarah, right?" Mrs. Kerr said to which everyone nodded or said yes. Sarah was over the moon. She got to be herself here! Sarah thought to herself as she sat down at a table ' I get to be myself, not this Harry person, who everyone thinks I am. I think I will like school.'
A/N: so, thoughts? Things I could improve upon? Please leave me comments, they make me happy!
