Full Summary: A butterfly flaps its wings in Brazil and a tornado brews in Texas. A simple choice: Today or Tomorrow? Conceived a day earlier, the Boy Who Lived was never born. He wasn't even a glimmer in his parents' eyes.

But she was; Harriet Lily Potter... Harry; the girl that grew up in a cupboard; the girl with safety-pinned knickers; the girl that was never wanted by the only family she had left; the girl that would give anything for the slightest bit of love.

With a lightning bolt scar, her mother's face, and her father's messy hair, Harriet Potter has always been far less than welcome in the Dursley household. Ten years old, unloved, and uncared for, Harry has already seen more hardship than most will see in their entire lives. In fact, her life can't get much worse. Yet on July thirtieth, a strange letter is pushed through the Dursley's mail slot, turning her miserable world upside down. Discovering her magical heritage, Harry finally finds a place to belong and, after a chance meeting in a train station, she just might have found someone to love her.

What happens when the shoes of a hero are filled by the feet of a heroine? How does the world change? How do relationships change? How important can one person possibly be?

Follow Harry down the familiar path. Follow her as she steps off it. Walk with her as she creates ripples of flux that grow and twist into massive tsunamis, changing the course of history as we know it... for better or for worse.

(Not a canon rehash. 'The Butterfly Effect' is a common trope in fiction when presenting scenarios involving time travel and 'what ifs' in which one storyline will diverge at the moment of a seemingly minor event. Change will build between the two storylines exponentially, eventually resulting in two significantly different outcomes.)

⋆｡°✩ willow had once watched someone die. she saw the green light explode from the end of a wand, saw a body crumple to the floor, lifeless - before she even knew what magic truly was. and her father, blinded by grief and fury, had done the unthinkable. he tore the magic from her - ripped it from her bones with trembling hands and shattered words, as if silencing her gift could silence his own pain. she was only twelve when the magical world took her in, broken and wide-eyed. the halls of that ancient castle loomed taller than anything she'd ever known. spells whirled like storm winds, portraits whispered in their frames, and staircases shifted beneath her feet. it terrified her. but even as she clutched at familiarity like a lifeline, she knew - somewhere in her bones - that this strange, faraway place would become her forever. and who could have guessed that her forever would be a red-headed boy with laughter in his soul and fire in his heart? a boy who loved so fiercely, so completely, that it burned through the darkest parts of her. she remembered the way he looked at her - like he saw every hidden piece she tried to bury. "I desperately wanted to kiss him - to bury my hands in his hair, to press my mouth to his like it would heal every broken thing inside me. My body trembled with the ache of it, like it already knew he was meant to be mine. Like kissing him would make the world stop spinning." and in that moment, every inch of her - every breath, every heartbeat, every scar left by what had been taken - was begging for something real. something right. 49 chapters started 9/29/2022 completed 5/24/2025 tw: this story contains themes involving substance use, sexual content, and blood/death/violence.

An Essence of Dittany by MadisonW043

What if Harry had been born a girl? Harriet Potter is not the Boy Who Lived, but the Girl Burdened with Prophecy. She wears her father's messy hair and arrogance like a curse, yet her mother's green eyes and stubborn compassion haunt Severus Snape at every turn. The summer after Sirius's death, seventeen-year-old Harriet finds herself adrift. Numb with grief and unwilling to return to the pity of her friends, she flees Privet Drive with no money, no plan, and no will to care whether she survives the week. By day she drifts through London on crowded buses and trains; by night she collapses into uneasy sleep on the Knight Bus among wanderers, the forgotten, and homeless. It is here that Severus Snape stumbles upon her. Exhausted, half-starved, and shattered by loss, she is far from the defiant Gryffindor he knows. Against his better judgment, Snape takes her in. It isn't compassion, not exactly. It's duty. It's the voice of Lily, whispering from his memory: How could you leave her like this? But what begins as a reluctant guardianship twists into something neither expected. The Order insists he continue Harriet's occlumency training, forcing Snape to pry deeper into her thoughts than he ever intended. What he uncovers, her abuse at the hands of the Dursleys, her despair, her defiance in the face of unbearable loss, leaves him shaken to the core. The walls between them begin to blur. She finds a strange steadiness in his presence, even as his sharp words cut too close to truths she cannot face. He sees too much of Lily in her, and too much of himself in her scars. The lessons grow dangerous, the boundaries uncertain, and the summer stretches into something neither professor nor pupil can name.

The New Girl Who Lived『HARRIET POTTER』 by Anime_Miki

This is what happens when a bookworm is reincarnated in the HP universe Maria was a quiet girl, living in a small town in Ostrów Wielkopolski province, Poland. She wasn't exactly shy, she was just an introverted person who preferred reading books over socialising. She didn't expect that anything exciting will happen in her life, she was simply a nobody with a questionable obsession with Hp, Marauders, Anime and anything that had some kind of trauma in it. For her it was just another day, she just finished working a job that made her spend way to much time in school, so she decided to distress and go to her local library to read a book, because in this economy books cost way to much, even if in the European continent they are cheaper than other countries/continents, eventually it was closing time so she left, but the unthinkable happened, she was hit by the one and only truck-kun whom made her reincarnated as the female version of Harry Potter: Harriet Potter ʕ•̫͡•ʕ•̫͡•ʔ•̫͡•ʔ•̫͡•ʕ•̫͡•ʔ•̫͡•ʕ•̫͡•ʕ•̫͡•ʔ•̫͡•ʔ•̫͡•ʕ•̫͡•ʔ•̫͡•ʔ Hi, thanks for reading this book, this is a book from when I was 12 so sorry if it's cringe or has grammatical errors (English is not my native language), the OC who got in Harriets body is based of myself so please no hate on her, there may be references from other fan fics (Hp and not). And generally I hope you enjoy this and shoutout to my sis, Anime_Sofi for helping me write this story. If this storyline or any fact may seem a bit off, it's because originally this was written secretly in my middle school lectures, please correct and comment on my error. I will probably publish irregularly because of school, and I may return to correct for a third time or more this book, so sorry if you may find that out of nowhere a random chapter get's changed.

Julie Stone was a regular girl; she lived in an orphanage, had some friends, and every now and then would bang her head against the wall due to stress. . . . Normal! Anyway, all her life Julie never seemed to quite fit in. She loved it, but her life didn't feel like her own. That was one of the reasons she loved reading! She could momentarily escape her world, even though it wasn't possible. Well, at least she thought so. . . . She never expected to be thrown in front of a bus and die. Who does? She never expected that the aftermath of death, was to wake up as a bushy-haired girl from the universe she loved so much. And she truly didn't expect Hermione Granger to have more backstory than what the books mentioned. Well, let's just say it was a twist Julie never expected. "Well that was a bloody dramatic introduction," Hermione said rolling her eyes. ⁂ [1st place • Gryffindorsav Sorting Awards] [ON-GOING] [OC x Fred Weasley (slow-burn (ish))] [PoA-DH]

The Hidden Legacy by Destiel_067

In a twist of fate, Harry Potter's true heritage is a secret stolen away at birth. The boy who lived is actually the son of Lucius Malfoy and Severus Snape, a rare blend of wizarding prowess and veela blood. Abandoned by his parents and raised by the Dursleys, Harry's true nature begins to awaken as he nears his sixteenth birthday, triggering the onset of his veela inheritance. As the magical attraction grows stronger, Harry's bond with his best friend, Ron Weasley, takes an unexpected turn. Unbeknownst to him, Ron is his mate, and the discovery shakes their friendship to its core. Meanwhile, Harry's godfather, Tom Riddle, has been guiding him from the shadows, preparing him for a destiny far beyond anything Dumbledore had planned. As Harry uncovers the truth of his bloodline and the manipulations around him, he realizes that Hermione Granger and Ginny Weasley were never on his side, and Dumbledore's so-called protection might be nothing more than a cage. With dark forces closing in and his veela powers growing, Harry must confront the truth about his parents, his mate, and the twisted web of lies that shaped his life. In a world where alliances are fractured and trust is scarce, Harry must decide if he will embrace his true legacy and reclaim his place among the shadows or fight against the very blood that courses through his veins.
