The 1st chapter is rated T (Teen) unless you think otherwise

Chapter 1 The new girl

As I stood in my new common room and introduced myself I couldn't understand why everyone was staring at me. "Hello My name is Elisabeth Anne Evans but my friends and family call me Liza." I knew that I sounded funny but I didn't know that I sounded funny enough to make everyone stare.

(What are they staring at?)

Finally someone spoke up. "Hi, Liza I'm Harry Potter." Then another "I'm Ronald!" "And I'm Hermione" "And seriously RONALD??!! He goes by Ron around here!" Hermione seemed angry and she huffed away. Then a few more people introduced themselves. After a few hours everyone went to their dorms. I was left there with Ron and Harry. We were all sitting by the fire.

"So" I finally spoke. "Why was every one staring at me so funny?" "Well…." Harry said "You look really amazing and I'm not just saying it." *blush* "Well Harry, Ron, Where I'm from nobody thought that about me."

"What the bloody hell is wrong with them then?" Ron added.

"Well you see Ron, girls with big boobs and hips and red hair just are not cool in America….they are not considered hot."

Both Harry and Ron looked at me amazed.

"Girls in America have to be skinny, wearing tight jeans; little tops, and have bleach blonde hair."

Ron looked angry. "Listen Liza, You are the most amazing girl around here, Ron is just saying welcome to Hogwarts! Where we don't care if you look like a stick. All that we see is your beauty. On that note I will say good night to you." They both went to their dorms. I was all alone in the common room now.

I soon heard a rustle in the fire. "Psst Liza…Liza are you there?" It was my mother. I waited all night for her to send to me. "Hi mom!" "Liza I have an important question for you." "What is it mom?" "Well is there a boy named Harry Potter there??" "…yeah why?" "Well I kind of heard about him that's all…" Then someone yelled for her…it sounded like my mom's friend Julia. I call her aunt Julia because she helped my mom raise me. " Lily! Is that Liza???!!" " haha yes" my mother said. I said my hello and good byes to my aunt and mother then went off to bed.

I woke up to a startling girl sitting on my legs. "I HAVE TO TALK TO YOU NOW!!" I remembered her from the night before. She was a pretty girl very beautiful dirty blonde hair. She was kind of bossy. "Um hi uh…"I stuttered . "Lavender!" she said. "Ok so …what do you want Lavender?" "Every one went to breakfast before we have to do class today…here I brought you some food….(she talks a lot)….I couldn't sleep last night, and I was going to sit by the fire…well…I saw you talking to your mum." " So? Am I not allowed to talk to my mom?" "Well…Her name is Lily…Harry's mum's name is Lily."…I just looked at her like she was crazy. "Listen L-Lavender is it? A whole bunch of people have that name!" She looked like she was going to hit me now. "Get dressed I have something to show you before our 1st class!" I rolled my eyes at this...but I got dressed and followed.

We were now a foot away from the great hall. Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Prof. Snape were all standing in the door way arguing. Apparently Ron sat on one of Prof. Snape's Potions. But Lavender stood pointing at the trophy case and told me to look. I looked at it and saw a picture of a James Potter holding a cup and a woman with red hair on his side. I stood in shock when I saw her. " That's my ..my …MOM!" I passed out.

I woke up to Harry and the gang standing in the room with all of my professors. Dumbledore signaled everyone out but him and Harry. "Liza?..(Harry started) W-Why did you point to my mother in that picture and faint?" " No ..This must be a mistake..I saw my mother..we don't have the same mother." …silence…. "Your right Liza..My mum is dead!" "Besides Harry My mom's name is Lily Evans. Your mom was Lily Potter!" Suddenly Harry and Dumbledore looked at each other. "Elisabeth Harry's mother was Lily Evans before she married James." Dumbledore left the room now.

"Liza…I need to talk to your mum…I need to see for myself…please?" "Harry, there is no way...We aren't, my mom isn't...I'm tired Harry…Let me sleep for a bit. Wont you?"

Later I woke up to my mom standing next to me. "Mom?? Am I dreaming?" "No honey...I need to talk to you." "Mom you went here? You were married? You have a son…I have a Brother??? Mother please tell me what's going on!" " Ok…Well yes Harry is my son too…James and I were putting him to bed when V-Voldemort came….and H-He killed James 1st ,then pointed his want at Harry..I was so scared. I held him close to me and enchanted him with a very powerful spell…and Voldemort Struck me down. Later my friend Julia woke me up, and Harry was gone. I was pregnant with you so she didn't want me to stress. I was terribly sad…I thought Harry was dead. I lost James…and I lost Harry…and I didn't want to lose you too. I only found out about Harry last year…I wanted to send you to this school so I could know it was true. I wanted to tell you but I was so scared." There was an awkward silence. Harry then walked in and stood there like he had just seen a ghost. He started turning red and ran to her and hugged her.

After a heartwarming reunion we all went to the great hall to eat. Mother, son, and daughter. Everyone in the hall was silent. Finally Dumbledore stood up and introduced the new defense against the dark arts teacher…. Lily Evans.

The whole room was quiet. I saw the look on Prof. Snape when he looked at mom. He looked happy to see her. Harry and I were both glad to hear it. I think the reason Dumbledore picked her is because he knew she and Harry had a lot of catching up to do. I got put into the 4th year with my brother and his friends because we are only 9 months apart from each other in age. Not to mention I am probably a whole lot smarter than him. I was forced to study all the time. I was home schooled by mother and Aunt Julia. They taught me everything.

________*

It's been 3 months and Hermione and I are arguing over what kinds of roots are the best for love potions. While discussing this we talked about what we were all doing for Yule break. Hermione decided she was inviting her parents over to the Black house this year. My mother decided since this was our first Christmas with Harry that she wanted to spend it at the Black house, along with me and Aunt Julia. We all would be going to the 1st Yule ball this year too. Harry had already gotten himself in trouble this year. Someone but his name into the goblet of fire. But now that mother is around for him she forbid him from doing it. She also took custody from Aunt Petunia so that he could be home with her.

"SNAPE you forget about it! Don't think that is going to work on me! I will never forgive you ever!" "Lily you don't have to call me Snape…I am sorry I told you already I was wrong and I regret it every day!" I heard her slap him from the restroom near the great hall. As I walked out they went separate ways. "Mom why are you fighting with Professor Snape?" I tried to get her to talk but she just walked away. I soon met up with Harry and Ginny. She was giggling. "Harry I need to talk to you." I interrupted. "Sure Liza!" Ginny walked away.

" Harry….Why was mother fighting with Snape…do I not know something ?? She usually tells me those things."

He started laughing. "Mum and Snape go way back…He used to love her…or does love her. As to why they hate each other is beyond me…all I know is Snape hated our Father and he is dead. So she is probably angry at him because he hated him and he is dead now." "Oh …..any who changing the subject a little who are you bringing to the ball?" He looked upset at that. "Well I haven't asked anyone yet…" "O MY GOD Harry how blind are you?!?!" I think he was a little shocked when I said that. "Well Harry if you don't ask her soon someone else will…don't be stupid!" "What are you talking about? Someone told you about Cho right? …I…I" "HARRY no not Cho! I meant Ginny.. didn't you see the way she laughed at your stupid joke? She likes you ask her!" He grumbled away from me.

I knew he wanted to ask her so I coolly went over to her table and sat down. "Hey Ginny! Are you going to go to the Yule ball??" " Uh yes I am.." "With who?? I know someone who wants to go with you but is too shy to ask you." Ginny shot up grabbed me by the arm and led me out of the great hall and didn't say anything till she and I were in the rest room. "Who?" She said kind of jumpy. "Harry of course! You should ask him he would be so happy and relieved. He thought you would never go with him." She hugged me and ran out.

I soon ran into someone. I dropped my books everywhere. I hurried and apologized as I picked them up. "Ah you must be Liza! Potters little sister!" "I am and who might you be I have seen you here and your always giving my brother dirty looks." " Draco…Draco Malfoy but you may call me Draco." He said kind of softly. "Well Draco nice to meet you…are you friends with my brother then?" "I wouldn't say we are friends..But you and I could be …friends." I giggled a little. He really is cute. His blonde hair and he is tall. "Well Liza…who are you going with to the ball? Would you want to accompany me?" I didn't know what to say this was my 1st anything dance. I answered yes to him.

(Well that's all for now folks if you want to know what else happens give me comments.)
