Harry Potter: Green Silk and Glass Beads

An original female protagonist. A fairly low-key story about everyday life, following the original timeline. The characters reach adulthood earlier than in the original to make the plot work, and many events have changed.

Talina always knew that Harry had beautiful eyes, like green silk flowing in the sunlight. From the age of twelve to fifteen, she inevitably fell in love with those eyes.

On an autumn day of endless rain, her uncle left her forever. Clutching the little bear he had given her, Talina stood before his simple gravestone. Her mother gently embraced her, while her father took her to transfer to Hogwarts. Talina asked her father, Ian, “Where is Hogwarts?” Ian said nothing. He pointed in the direction the gravestone faced. Leaning against the cold stone, Talina looked toward the school with her uncle.

Her father said that cutting all ties with everyone would let them survive. Talina quietly argued with him in her heart. She didn’t want merely to survive; she wanted to live beautifully, to savor life. So she held out her hand to Pansy. “Let’s be friends.”

“Father often says that forgetting the hatred of the past lets you move forward with a clear conscience. But I believe that forgetting everything would mean betraying myself. I inherited the family’s finest talents, so I must do what needs to be done. I will avenge my uncle. I’m not afraid of death. Voldemort is, which is why he prepared countless escape routes for himself. I have nowhere left to retreat. I’ll stake everything on this.” That was what Talina wrote in her diary at the end. She didn’t know if she would ever have a chance to open it again. She only knew that her conscience was clear.

Pairs: Harry, Draco and Pansy, Ron and Hermione. Some characters are a little different from the original.
