   Summary

   The Girl Who Lived was quite the mystery. Walking on silent feet, peeking around corners, and the staring. Staring with oddly perceptive eyes. Those eyes, often elusive, yet penetrating; casting suspicion and pity onto herself wherever she goes.

   It must have been disappointing for everyone to see that she wasn’t really anything special at all.

   (A girl!Harry story starting at the beginning. Elements of the story have been changed, of course, since this is an AU. Formerly Harry now Harriet, is selectively mute.)
