FemHarry! Warning Dumbledore bashing! Weasley Bashing! Many before have asked the question. What if the Boy-Who-Lived had been the girl who lived? How would the story be different? This story assumes that Professor Dumbledore places Violet with her Aunt and Uncle, the Dursley family, just as in canon. In this case, it was the first mistake he made.

Full Summary:

Violet Potter is the Girl-Who-Lived. Just as Harry was sent to the Dursleys, so Violet Potter was sent to live with the Dursleys. But when Dumbledore sends Rubeus Hagrid to give Violet her Hogwarts letter, everything goes horribly wrong and Violet's placement with Magic-hating Muggles gets exposed. This leads to a very Slytherin fem Harry Potter.

Before you begin reading, I thought I would give my two cents worth on Dumbledore bashing. The author is not a believer that Albus Dumbledore was an evil manipulative Headmaster. He is a believer that the man was a human being. He is also a believer that the decisions Albus Dumbledore made had the capacity to terribly blow up when it came to Harry Potter or in this case fem Harry.

This story in particular will take some of the classic "manipulations" as they are thought of and put them into play and show how they spectacularly blow up in Professor Dumbledore's face.

Manipulation # 1 Dumbledore manipulated Voldemort into striking Godric's Hollow through a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Manipulation # 2 Dumbledore placed Violet (femHarry) with her magic-hating Muggle Aunt and Uncle because he hoped to have a love starved heroine coming to the magical world.

Manipulation # 3 Dumbledore knowingly allowed Sirius Black to be arrested falsely for the betrayal of the Potters.

These manipulations are all assumed as you read the story and will lead to some further manipulations throughout this first story and the ones that follow.

Another note on Dumbledorebashing. It is a known fact in Canon that Lucius Malfoy and others were very critical of Albus Dumbledore's leadership and policies. The assumption is that Violet who will quickly be influenced by the Malfoy family will share the Malfoy bias toward Professor Dumbledore, as will those she associates with as friends.

Finally, recognize that Fanfiction is fiction and that in order for this story to be something that might attract attention can follow its own line of thought.

Without further ado, Violet Potter and the Mistakes of Albus Dumbledore
