I do not own…

A/N: Sorry for the changes but I kept thinking it this way and I always like things that started at the beginning. Hope you like it. If you don't then don't read it.

Chapter One: The girl that lived too

Three year old Vanessa Potter woken up by a soft voice of chanting. The little girl tiredly opened her eyes and saw that it was her mother, Mina Potter. She had her eyes closed, hand over Vanessa's heart and her once beautiful blond hair was white as the pure snow. When she was done her hair turned back.

"Mama, what's going on?" Vanessa asked as she rubbed her eyes.

"Nothing to worry about, my darling." Mina smiled

Unknowingly, Vanessa could tell that it was a sad smile.

"You'll be forever protected from any kind of magic, my darling. No spell or curse can destroy it." Mina said as tears form into her eyes. "I love you, Vanessa." She then placed a hand on her head and kissed her forehead. "Remember darling, you are fearless, brave, loyal and kind. Never forget who you are."

An explosion was heard from the front door. Vanessa could sense a very dark aura in the house. Mina quickly stood up and took out her white wand.

"Vanessa, go to Harry's room. Hurry!" She said

Doing what her mother said the little girl ran to her baby cousin Harry's room that was connected to hers. The noise woke up Harry too as he has started to cry.

"It's okay Harry. Mama and Uncle James will take care of the intruder." Vanessa said as she reached to his crib.

Downstairs, after seeing her brother dead on ground Mina did her best to keep the dark lord away from the children. Sadly even with her powers she was no match for Voldemort. He used the killing curse on her and she fell to the steps of the stairs. Before stepping upon the staircase Voldemort went to take her wand. With the power of the grand white wand he knew that he'll invincible but he seemed to have forgotten that only a grand white witch or wizard can withhold the white wand. When he reached for it the wand disappeared. Clenching his fist out of rage he went upstairs to finish his task. He destroyed the door that was charmed to keep him out and killed Lilly. Vanessa did everything she could to not cry at what was happening and not run away.

"What a beautiful and brave little girl you are. It would be a waist for your bloodline to end with you. Step aside and I will let you live." Voldemort said

Remember what her mother said the little girl stood her ground. Sighing in annoyance at her, knowing well where she gets it from, he did what didn't want to do and used the killing curse. His eyes widen when the curse just went through her.

"Impossible." He whispered

He used the curse again but this time on both of them. The curse seemed to have backfired and destroyed his body but not his soul. Vanessa hurried to get Harry out of his crib when he started crying again. She noticed the lightning bolt scar that was placed upon his forehead. When she heard noises downstairs she took Harry as best as she could and hid in the closet. The person came into the room and started to cry when he saw Lilly dead on ground. Vanessa tried to keep Harry quiet but he started to cry again. This brought the stranger to open the closet door and found them. She held on to her cousin tightly, hoping that he wasn't another bad man.

"Come on you two. Let's get you out of here." He said softly

He took Harry into his arms before picking her up.

"Close your eyes, till I say so. You don't need to see this." He told Vanessa

Doing as she was told he took them out of the house. They ended up at Hogwarts as Headmaster Dumbledore wanted to see them. Though he was surprised when Vanessa told him that the curse just went through her. There wasn't a heard of spell that could stop the killing curse and yet Mina Potter was able to do it.

Both children had become orphans after that night. Even though the dark lord was gone his followers were not and would want revenge for their master. So to keep the children safe Dumbledore had separated the two. Harry was to go live with his Aunt and Uncle from his mother side while Vanessa was given to a friend of Dumbledore; Fairy Godmother. She had taken her to the United States of Auradon to live with King Adam and Queen Bell. They had a son that was a year older than Vanessa but always wanted a daughter. The King and Queen knew the risk but they were willingly to protect her as one of their own.

Vanessa may have lived a different life but she never forgot that night or who she was. She was Vanessa Potter; the girl who lived.

Ten years later…

July 16 is a very special day in Auradon as it is Princess Vanessa's birthday. This year she was turning thirteen. Like every other year the king and queen where hosting a ball to celebrate. Vanessa was used to it but hated their kind of parties. Unlike the other princesses she was out going, an adventurous that doesn't mind getting her hands dirty.

Right now she was standing in front of her full length mirror looking at her appearance. She wore a dress is a wine red round neck lace simple evening gown as the maids curled her black a little to give it a little wave to it. Then to finish it off she placed a red rose on the right side of her hair. Bell came in she was in awe at the sight of her daughter.

"Oh sweetheart, you look beautiful." She smiled and hugged her.

"Thanks mom." Vanessa said

She tried to put up a fake smile but Bell could see right through.

"What's wrong Vanessa?" She asked

"It's just…the whole ball thing…do we have to do this every year. It's not really..." Vanessa said

There was a knocked on the door and it was Ben.

"Mom, everyone is here." Ben said

Just like that Bell quickly head out the room to greet everyone. Vanessa sighed in annoyance as she wished that her parents would listen to for once. The only good thing about the ball was that she gets to see her friends from Hogwarts. Not mention that her cousin Harry was coming as well.

She finally got to see him when Hagrid went to take him for his school supplies. After hearing how horrible his aunt and uncle were to him Vanessa wanted to take him away from them. Sadly she couldn't as they were still his guardians but thankfully her parents told child social serves about their treatment towards Harry. From the letters he had sent her things were getting a little better for him.

Once she was ready she took a deep breath and put on a fake smile before leaving her room. It was going to be a long day.

After a few hours it was time for presents. Her parents got her a firebolt broom as she became Gryffindor Chaser last year. Ben got her new quidditch equipment as he knew how much she loved the game. Harry got her a puppy that he found; which happens to be a different breed of Crup. She named him Dude. All her other guess and friends from Auradon gave her some clothes, books or jewelry. Hagrid wasn't able to come but he did send her 'The monster book of monsters' as third years finally get to take Magical Creature classes. The next present was from her best friend Artism Scamander. Vanessa couldn't help but smile at the little creature that her friend gave her. It was a Bowtruckle. They both had a love for magical creatures.

"Artism, he's so cute thank you." Vanessa smiled

The red brown hair boy blush a little when she smiled at him. Artism was Vanessa's the first friend she made when she was on Hogwarts Express. They still remained friends even when they were sorted in different houses.

"I think I'm going to name him Pickett." She smiled down at the creature.

The lefty stick creature smiled at her started climbing over arm and then hid in her hair.

"Thank you Artism." She smiled

"Yo-You're welcome, Vanessa." He blushed

"Why don't you two get a room?" Fred joked

Fred and George Weasley always joked at how close Vanessa and Artism were. The two doing kissing faces till their mother Molly smacked their heads.

"Open mine next, Vanessa. Open mine next." Rain Lovegood said

The blonde Ravenclaw girl handed Vanessa a neatly small box with stars and moons wrapping paper. When Vanessa opened it there was a sliver snitch inside.

"I made it myself. It's charmed. If you whistle for it'll come back to you." Rain smiled

"Thank you, Rain. This is great." Vanessa smiled and hugged her friend.

"Okay, now it our turn." Fred and George said together.

Fred held out a big box. Vanessa smirked. She wondered what to the two pranksters had given her. When she started unwrapping the box it started to shake. The twins had mischief grins on their faces as they started to walk backwards a little. When the lid open different colors of paint started shooting out everywhere. Vanessa laughed as everyone gasp and scream as they tried not to get hit by the paint. Her favorite part was when Audrey (Ben's girlfriend) got it in the face with green paint. She and her four friends manage it to hide behind table.

"Now this is my kind of party." Vanessa laughed

"New you would love." George smile "Oh and by the way…"

"This is your real gift." Fred said

He gave her something that looked like a map. It looked like the Marauder's map that the twin had but it was a map Auradon.

"Its custom made." Fred said

"It's for both Auradon and the Isle." George said "But if you ever go to the Isle…"

"You better invite us." They both said

The five of them laughed and peeked around to look at the scene. Her friends always knew how to make things better.
