"A Past Unknown" is a mystery/romance fan fiction.

A quick summary:

15-year-old Kelly learns to grow up fast when her mother is suddenly murdered by one of Voldemort's servants, being the first of a series of events leading to the knowledge of her unknown past. She learns later that she is last and only heir of Voldemort. The Dark Lord searches for and her gaining power, which dwindles from good and evil, as he yearns to have a powerful successor. Though to his misknowledge, Voldemort does not know of the prophecy leading Kelly to her fate as she befriends the famous Harry Potter and Voldemort's greatest foe. The prophecy brings Kelly and Harry together to fight for their lives and a fate that unwinds with every whisper.

This story contains many of the Order of the Phoenix rumors and takes place in Harry Potter's 5th year. Please hang on because the story has not been finished but I'm anticipating that it will be around 350+ pages long. Each chapter contains from 8 to 18 pages each.

History of the story: Began January 21, 2002. I had just finished reading my first fanfic, and was determined to write my own. After many failed stories, I began "A Past Unknown" with a plot I couldn't wait to unravel. Every night since, I'd spend from two to four hours writing a chapter (then was only 3-4 pages each), and I continued that for almost 8 months. Then my life began to get very busy. Sometimes, there would be two months waiting between two chapters. I gained many readers and supporters, which often kept me writing. A year later, January 2003, I decided I would never have the time to continue writing and my style had changed since I had first begun. It was pretty obvious from reading the first chapter and the latest that I had gotten much better with my writing. So I'd also have to rewrite it. I just didn't have the time. So I told all of my readers I had to quit the story. There was a small chance I would come back and continue, but they shouldn't count on it. I posted the plot and the ending. I received a lot of sad stories about how they wouldn't be able to live if I didn't continue to write. 0_o When I had quit there were 31 chapters and 139 pages (11 font). In the light of the announcement of the release of the Order of the Phoenix (the 5th book), my old Potterhead self was unleashed and I began rereading the books and drawing fan fiction again. I decided that when school ended, I would continue my story. And so I have. I've reduced the 31 chapters into 11 and each day, I spend about 2-3 hours rewriting and reconfiguring. So I'm very excited to be continuing "A Past Unknown." So please read on! I promise you'll love it. I would say there is as much action, plot twists, and mystery as the real Harry Potter books in my story.

I do introduce a few new characters, and I know how annoying that is to fanfic readers, but hang on, please. You'll love them, too. :)
