Summary
How would Harry have grown up as a girl? Abuse is an odd thing. It plays tricks on the abuser and punishes the abused. Gender may have affected Harry Potter’s upbringing, but bitterness and blame and disgust only change in appearance, the root is still the same.
Or, snapshots into the life of Harriet Potter. Not necessarily in order, but all part of the same story.

Summary
Staring at your feet made getting places a little bit easier in that moment, hour, day, month, even year after the war. There was a lot to notice about your feet when you started staring at them. Harry noticed, for really the first time in his life, how long his strides were. Not abnormally long, or at least it didn’t feel like Harry was trying to throw his leg out as far as he could every time he took a step. But when he was moving with purpose, placing one foot in front of the other, he had rather long strides. Not as long as Ron’s, who’s gangly frame and long legs meant that he always gave off the impression that he was never in a hurry to get anywhere. He had learned to keep pace with his friends by walking marginally slower to make up for the extra distance covered by each pace.
Hermione, on the other hand, had to take one and a half steps to make up for each one of Harrys, and two steps to make up for one of Ron’s. This, in contrast to Ron’s apparent relaxation in his walk, made Hermione seem like she was always in a rush, as her legs had to work twice as fast to keep apace with her companions. Harry thought this explained a lot about his friends. -

Summary
There wasn’t a chance for James Potter. He had no wand and stood only with his courage and his willingness to buy his wife and son some time. Any time. A few extra seconds.
There was a chance for Lily. There were anti apparition wards over the house, and Lily could barely think to keep a hold of her wand while she clutched onto her baby with both arms, running through the nursery. She flicked her wand as best she could while she held Harry, and sent the furniture crashing up against the door, easily her clumsiest spellwork in years but it hardly seemed to matter now.
A few extra seconds. What to do with them?

Summary
There was just something about acting. Something about becoming whoever you wanted, about being almost faceless, something so strong that it pulled Arya to the theatre just as gravity kept pulling her to the earth. It was beautiful, she didn’t have to be Arya Horseface like her sister called her, or Arya Underfoot like the men at her father’s office had nicknamed her, she didn’t even have to be Arya, she could be anyone she liked. She could try on faces like clothes, she could change personalities like the wind, and when she went to bed at night she could go back to being Arya, back home to her family, to her pack, and the next day she could be someone else all over again.

Summary
It could have been a quiet life. Could have been, but it wasn’t. Gendry was reckless with his sense of right and wrong, and in the streets of Brooklyn, well, there was always a fight to be had. And then the war came.
