Ever heard of a witch named Elizabeth Hunter O'Flaherty?
That was the girl who's story remains untold. Her story began late in the day. It was July 4th, 1979, probably near three o'clock in the afternoon when Elizabeth Hunter O'Flaherty was born and introduced into the world. Even before she was born, Elizabeth's parents had decided to keep any of the children they were to have, away from their world for as long as they could. There were bad people in that world. Bad people that Robert and Mary O'Flaherty needed to keep their children away from. That bad person was a man who called himself Voldemort.
Lord Voldemort was the darkest wizard alive. He had many followers called Death Eaters. Before Voldemort he was someone else. He was Tom Riddle. A clever student attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He hated muggles and all that they were. He killed many. He killed anyone who went against him. He had killed for another reason as well. He killed for Horcruxes. He made seven. Seven objects with pieces of his soul inside them. At least until there was a big prophecy. The big prophecy revealed that a boy, born at the end of July were to be the one to bring him down. So he went after a child. He went after James and Lily Potter. He killed the both of them. But as he went to use the killing curse on the child, the curse rebounded somehow and it destroyed Voldemort for ten years.
That was the summarized story of how Harry Potter came to be the boy who lived. But this isn't Harry's story. This is the story of Elizabeth. What happened to Elizabeth really was a tragedy. Before going after the Potter's, Voldemort had gotten word of a hidden family. A family that had been the targets of Voldemort ever since Tom Riddle's years in school. The O'Flaherty line was one that Voldemort vowed to break. So on July 7th, not even a week after the birth of their child, Mary and Robert had gotten word from Sirius Black that they needed to hide. But they had been in hiding for too long. They stood their ground and hid Elizabeth from the Dark Lord. They sent their child to an old friend's. Hoping that Elizabeth would know exactly what happened that day, Mary and Robert sent Elizabeth to a muggle. A Lauren Hunter. An old friend of the family out of the wizarding community. She was aware however of Elizabeth's abilities, but she had agreed to keep it a secret until it was the right time.
While with Lauren Hunter, she wouldn't risk Elizabeth's real identity to be the death of both herself and the child, so Lauren had to change the girl's name. Elizabeth, no longer Elizabeth, was now instead, Clarissa Emmaline Hunter. She was now the daughter of Lauren Hunter. For years she wanted to believe that it was true. She didn't see the resemblance between herself, the dark hair, and the dark features, and the redhead with the bright features. For her entire life she lived with Lauren unaware of the truth, but she will soon learn the truth.
As Elizabeth turned eleven, she had received a note a letter of acceptance. Into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Though she knew that Lauren wasn't her real mother, Elizabeth always accepted that her parents were gone. At that point on, Elizabeth was told almost everything. She wasn't told the whole truth. Lauren told Elizabeth that she was not actually Clarissa, but it was what she should go by. Because of a bad wizard. A bad wizard. She didn't know who it was, but she kept the name Clarissa. She hasn't gone by Elizabeth since she was a child, but when Voldemort is gone, she will be the one to reveal herself as Elizabeth. The one thing that Lauren left out? The fact that Voldemort killed Robert and Mary. It was a much too painful memory for her. And another thing is the many abilities that her parents hid with enchantments and feelings. Clarissa was a metamorphagus. Clarissa was capable of many things. She just didn't know it.
After that letter came, Clarissa was sent to Hogwarts. She quite enjoyed her first year there and came back to Lauren with many sweets and candies. As well as her new interest in quidditch. That summer after first year, Clarissa spend much of her time reading up on quidditch. During first year however, Clarissa not only came back with a bunch of magical things, she came back with a Slytherin banner. She came back with addresses as well. Clarissa easily made friends at Hogwarts. However, many of those friends would soon loose her.
As second year rolls along, all caught up with the going ons in the wizard community, thanks to the Daily Prophet, Clarissa notices that a certain famous black haired boy was now at Hogwarts. Clarissa, though, yes a Slytherin, she somehow struck up a conversation with the male after both we're pissed off at a certain platinum blonde Slytherin. Clarissa just knew she would hate him from the start. He was already bullying a lot of people, and she just stood up to him. Harry and Clarissa that year became good friends, as Clarissa lost a few Slytherin friends, including Adrian Pucey and Marcus Flint. Which meant she had to wait until Flint was gone to try out for Quidditch.
As third year comes along, Clarissa finally got the guts to try out for the Slytherin Quidditch team. As a beater. She eventually got the spot, much to Adrian's dismay. The problem, she had to actually steer the bludger away from the slick blonde git who called himself Draco Malfoy. It was third year as well that Clarissa actually met her forever friends. She finally got to say hello to a few of the others, and as it had turned out, Clarissa made many of the Gryffindors become fond of her. As well as a few of the Hufflepuffs, she especially caught a certain Hufflepuffs eye that year. A Cedric Diggory. That year they had become fast friends, as well as Clarissa and the Weasley Twins plus Katie Bell. She also seemed to find a soft spot for Proserpina Brutus.
During fourth year, with Sirius Black on the loose, there was something about the man as if he were familiar. With many confusing emotions, Clarissa's hair becomes active. Her metamorphagus because shown. Clarissa can easily recall seeing Sirius Black. It was an old memory from when he was with Mary and Robert. It was very vague but he saw his face. Now as fifth year approaches, Clarissa can't be ready for the emotions that she will eventually suffer.
