Chapter 2
"Violet?" I asked.
"Everyone's going to refer to you with female pronouns and as Violet Potter now," he said. "You should start getting used to it."
"Right," I sighed. "Violet Potter... It's not bad."
"It's a great name," Snape said.
"I assume Gringotts is first?"
"Yes, then we'll visit Rita Skeeter," Snape said. "We'll get your school supplies after that."
"Yes, Sir," I said.
"Violet... When we're alone, with people we trust, we're not at Hogwarts or it's not term time, you can call me Severus," Snape said.
"Oh... Ok... Severus," I said and he smiled at me. I didn't know Snape could smile.
...
Severus and I enter The Leaky Cauldron. Fortunately, unlike Hagrid, he doesn't draw attention to us. Hagrid's great but way too friendly to people. Severus and I walk towards the entrance of Diagon Alley but we're stopped when a woman calls out Severus' name. "Great," Severus whispers, sarcastically. We face the woman who spoke.
"Violet Potter. Can't tell you how pleased I am to meet you," a blonde woman with green eyes said to me. She's gorgeous... Fuck, being an almost 15-year-old Wizard in the body of an 11-year-old Witch is going to get annoying when it comes to dating and flirting. When I'm 18, I'm going to be in the body of a 14-year-old. Why did I have to mentally be a teenage boy and physically a pre-teen girl? How am I supposed to wait several years before flirting with cute girls? Wait... If I'm a girl now and I still like girls, am I a lesbian? A girl who likes girls is a lesbian but I was born a boy and I liked girls so does it still count as lesbian or not? Mentally I'm still a boy so am I straight or lesbian? ... Well, I'm a girl now so if I tell people I only like girls, they'll class me as a lesbian so that's what I'm going with. Damn it! That's gonna make it so much harder to pick up girls. I might as well start now but probably only with those Hogwarts age because everyone else will find it weird since I'm physically only 11... But that doesn't mean I can't look at girls like I would've before right? But I also don't want to make people uncomfortable... Why does this have to be so hard!?
"Hello, Professor. I didn't see you there. Violet, this is Professor Quinn Quirrell. She will be your Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor at Hogwarts," Severus says.
"Wait, what?" Severus looked at me in annoyance as he probably didn't want to spend too much time talking to her. "What's Defense Against the Dark Arts?" I asked when I saw the look Quirrell was giving me. "Oh, nice to meet you," I said as I offered my hand to the female version of Professor Quirrell and, just like last time, she refused to take it.
"Fearfully fascinating subject. Not that you need it, ey, Potter?" She chuckled with a smirk. I can't believe I think female Quirrell is hot! ... She's not covering her head like male Quirrell did and she has hair so clearly Voldemort isn't under there... Oh, fuck... Is Voldemort just possessing her instead? I was checking out Voldemort! ... Why don't I think that's ew?
"Yes, well, must be going now. Lots to buy," Severus said.
"Goodbye," I said and female Quirrell smiled at me just as I decided, for my own safety, female Quirrell and Voldemort find me adorable and want to look out for me and protect me and they don't feel any negative emotions towards me only positive ones which will grow as I get older to the point that they fall in love with me. This way, Voldemort won't try to kill me in the future. If I'm female and Quirrell is female, surely Voldemort is female now too? And, if my Parents really were anti-Mudblood and anti-Muggle, then there's no reason for me not to be. Especially after how the Dursleys have treated me in two lives. The only person that could be an exception is Hermione. Mom told me to not trust anyone so she'll have to earn my trust all over again.
...
After visiting my Vault and Severus picking up the Philosopher's Stone (I didn't tell him about what happened during first year. I know my Mom said to trust him but it might take me some time to do that), a Goblin administered a Heritage Test after telling me only Magical biological relatives (other than Blood Adopted Parents, Children, Grandparents or Grandchildren) show up and the results were shocking.

"Well, Violet," Severus said. "It seems Lily's Parents were Lucius Malfoy's Mother and the Father of the Lestrange Brothers. Given they're in Azkaban and he's dead, you have the Lestrange Heirship and since Poppy Malfoy was the Cousin of the Carrow Twins, along with Theodore Nott's Mother, you have the Carrow Heirship. That makes Theodore the Secondary Heir of Carrow."
"But why?"
"Abraxas made it clear that he didn't want Lucius taking any Heirships from his Wife so it would go to Lily then you instead of Lucius then Draco. Poppy was older than her Sister so when the Carrows were locked up it went to her as their Parents were dead."
"How do you pronounce The Dark Lady's middle name?"
"Mal-Vat," he said. "The first M, the Y and the K are all silent." I thought about how Tom had chosen his name by moving around the letters in Tom Marvolo Riddle to I am Lord Voldemort. What would this become? You can still get I am Lady Voldemort but there are letters left over. THEAKRD. ... THE... AKRD... DAKR... DARK... I AM THE DARK LADY VOLDEMORT... Huh... That's actually much cooler than Tom's.
"Miss Potter," the Goblin said. "Do you wish to claim your Heirships now or do you want to wait until you are 17? Only Primary Heirships can be claimed before 17 as the Head of House and since you only have Primary Heirships, you can claim them all at any point but they do need to be claimed before September 1st after you graduate Hogwarts as they are Primary Heirships. Otherwise, they'll go to the next in line or die out if there isn't a next in line until you have an Heir."
"So, if I don't claim them before my 18th birthday, I'll be passing up the titles?" I asked.
"Essentially, Miss Potter, yes."
"In that case, I'd like to claim all Heirships right now please." The Goblin nodded and left the room. "Severus?"
"Yes, Violet?"
"It says my name is Cassiopeia so should I keep going by Violet or should I go by Cassiopeia?"
"Well, that's your choice. The Black name is very well-known but so is the name of the Girl Who Lived... You could always choose to go by a hyphenated name and choose one as your middle name. Most would call you Violet unless you tell them otherwise, though."
"Okay, how about... Cassiopeia Violet Narcissa Lily Black-Potter? I don't mind being called Cassiopeia or Violet to be honest. I... I think I've come to terms with this being my life now, Severus."
"Of course, Cassiopeia."
"So, how does the Wizengamot Seats work?"
"There are 50 Wizengamot Seats in total. There used to be only 48 but after what happened with your Parents, the majority of the Wizengamot voted to give House Potter a promotion from being a Noble House to a Most Noble and Most Ancient House and to give House Potter two Wizengamot Seats... The War really affected people in Britain. Even more so than Grindelwald. That's why you have Seats and Dumbledore only has one as Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot. The Hogwarts Houses as Most Noble, Most Ancient and Most Reverent Houses have two Seats each, Peverell has two Seats as a Most Noble, Most Ancient and Reverent House. It's the only one with that title actually just as House Potter is the only House with the Most Noble and Most Ancient House title. The Sacred 28 has the titles of Noble and Most Ancient House and each has one Seat. They are: Abbott, Avery, Black, Bulstrode, Burke, Carrow, Crouch, Fawley, Flint, Gaunt, Greengrass, Lestrange, Longbottom, Macmillan, Malfoy, Nott, Ollivander, Parkinson, Prewett, Rosier, Rowle, Selwyn, Shacklebolt, Shafiq, Slughorn, Travers, Weasley and Yaxley," Severus said.
"So, what about the other nine Seats, Severus?"
"One belongs to the Minister of Magic and another to the Senior Undersecretary to the Minister, Cassiopeia. The last seven are for the department heads in the Ministry. The departments are: The Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures (DRCMC), the Department of Magical Law Enforcement (DMLE), the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophies (DMAC), the Department of International Magical Cooperation (DIMC), the Department of Mysteries, the Department of Magical Transportation and the Department of Magical Games and Sports (DoMGaS)."
