A/N: I never liked Harry being weak and spineless in the books and movies where his friends, their families, and the Order were concerned. So, this is my take on Harry if he was a girl with a backbone. NO HORCRUXES! Voldemort is sane and looks like Tom Riddle in his forties.
Chapter 1 Gringotts & The Malfoy Family
Helena Jamie Potter was a very angry young witch. She hated the people who have controlled her life from the time her parents were murdered. Granted, it was wartime so casualties were to be expected but it didn't make it hurt any less to grow up an orphan. It was even worse due to having to grow up in an abusive home.
Helena didn't understand why everyone expected her to be angry about her parent's deaths when she didn't even know them. Sure she loved them and she was positive they loved her just as much due to them dying for her but that didn't mean she wanted to kill or hurt the person who did it. It was a time to kill or be killed. But she did hold Peter Pettigrew responsible. He chose to give them up to save his own skin.
Anyway, Helena was on her way to Gringotts due to wanting a way out of the hell hole she was forced to live in. Even if there's not, she was going to make sure Vernon and Dudley couldn't hurt her anymore. The only thing she was thankful for was they never touched her in a sexual way. She probably would've killed them if they even tried.
When she entered the bank she was escorted to her account manager's office right away due to being highly recognizable due to being famous for surviving the night her family was ripped apart.
"I would like a lineage test, please," she requested as she sat down.
"Of course," Gornuk stated as he got a dagger and parchment explaining what she needed to do.

"Oh, Merlin! I never knew about this," Helena whispered stunned. She could have at least bought her own clothes and food so she wouldn't have starved in the summer holidays when school let out.
She felt so robbed of her abilities and her life. She could have had a better life growing up and she wouldn't have felt so incomplete. She knew what happened when someone's magical abilities were blocked. It stunted magical maturity if the blocks weren't removed by their sixteenth birthday.
"How can a soulbond be blocked?" she asked trying not to cry. She felt horrible for the way she's treated Draco over the years. She now knew why Draco acted the way he does every school year. She would've acted the same way if she thought for one second that she was being rejected by her soulmate.
"I don't know what to tell you but if anyone had the power to block a soulbond it's Albus Dumbledore," he answered gruffly. There were not many people or creatures that liked or respected the Headmaster.
"Would you please take the blocks off?" Helena asked.
"Yes but we'll have to do it in a time-delayed dome because we'll have to train you so you won't use overpowered spells in school and hurt someone by mistake," he explained as he leads her into a room with other goblins and curse-breakers.
"No problem," Helena said smiling. She loved the thought of being able to control her magic.
They spent four months under the time dome when it was four weeks outside the dome. Helena felt amazing. They reversed the malnutrition she suffered from her relatives and she grew three inches. She was five foot three, now she's five foot six.
The goblins had to get a leech off her scar she got the night her parents were killed. It had been feeding off her magic since that night. Helena now could control her emotions and magic. It was amazing.
After she collected her parent's journals and pictures, she got a credit card keyed to her blood that worked in both the wizarding world and the muggle world.
"Would you please send a letter to the Malfoy's requesting them to come and hear me out," Helena requested. She really hoped she didn't blow her chances of being with Draco. She's always felt a connection to him even with the soulbond being blocked.
When the Malfoy's arrived she could tell they were stunned to see her but they also looked upset and she couldn't blame them even if it wasn't really her fault.
"Before you say anything, please read these results," Helena said handing her lineage results.
"Oh, Merlin," Narcissa breathed stunned. She couldn't believe someone would do this to a witch or wizard but she knew Dumbledore was a controlling, manipulative, and deceitful wizard.
"I'm sorry for the way I treated you Draco. If I had known, I would've never treated you like you were a death eater. I just hated how you treated my friends and made a mockery of my mother. I wasn't going to let anyone badmouth my mother or father. They died for me," Helena explained.
"I guess I deserved some of it. I didn't know you had no idea about our soulbond. Please, forgive me," Draco said as he took her hand feeling the bond between them for the first time.
"I will if you forgive me," she said gently squeezing his hand.
"I do," he said smiling. It was the first time Helena had seen a real smile from Draco and it made him look more handsome.
"I'm also sorry. I'm sorry I tried to kill you and I'm sorry for what happened in the graveyard," Lucius said frowning. He never knew what had been done to his future daughter-in-law.
"I'll forgive you if you tell Voldemort I'll remain neutral," Helena stated firmly.
"Done. But why? He killed your parents," he asked stunned.
"It was war. Casualties are bound to happen. You can't stop every kill in the middle of a war. It was kill or be killed. I'll swear a vow never to come after him or his Death Eaters if he swears a vow in return never to come or send anyone after me or my chosen loved ones," she explained.
"I'll let him know," Lucius stated stunned.
"I've got shopping to do so I'll see you later. Would you write to me?" Helena asked Draco as she placed her lineage results in her bag.
"Of course," he said smiling as he kissed her cheek before she left. He smiled, even more, when he saw her blush. He loved the effect he had on her, he always has. He loved getting reactions from her even if they were angry ones.
"I'll see you later," she said as she exited the room.
