A new beginning

Summary: After Voldemort blowing himself up trying to kill Daniel Potter, Daniel was claimed the Bow-who lived, but it should be Elizabeth because she moved to protect him. As the next two years pass, because James is so caught up with Daniel's fame, he totally forgets about Elizabeth, and sometimes goes to the point of abusing her. After two years, Lily gets fed up, and confronts James about it, when he refuses to agree to Lily asking him to treat the Children equally, Lily and Elizabeth leave, and move to New Zealand Where Lily has family. Now, the Tri Wizard tournament is underway, and Elizabeth's name has come out of the Goblet, so the ministry has to find her. Problem? Her magical signature is not 'Elizabeth Potter' it's 'Eliza Wright-Smithly' and she is competing in the Wizard tournament held At the Tassie Devil's Magic Caverns. What will happen? What will end up being sorted out? Can Lily and Severus truly make up? And will Lily and James get back together?

Warnings: Fem!Harry, twin Potter children, dark! Evil!Dumbledore, James!Bashing, at least for the start, OCs, and mentions and themes/inspirations from Ocean Girl, but not enough to warrant making this a crossover, for now. IF ANY OF THESE WARNINGS TURN YOU AWAY, PRESS THE BACKWARD BUTTON NOW! OTHERWISE, PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Pairings:

Elizabeth X?
Lily X James or Snape

Daniel X Hermione

So, I will accept suggestions for Elizabeth's pairing, and if you could say which guy for Lily: I will decide when I have seven people for either. When I have a nice list for Elizabeth's future partner, I shall make a handy poll.

In a small cottage tucked away in Godric's Hollow, a family of four enjoy a quiet Halloween at home, alone. Currently, the twins, Elizabeth and Daniel, rested upstairs in their cot, with their mother tending to them. James, their father, lazed about on the couch, slowly dozing off.

The mood of the family was reflected in their home: it was all bright and homely, which made the cheerful mood they were in even more cheerful because of how they did their home. Bright furniture, bright wallpaper, and lots of windows and skylights.

It had been two weeks since they had gone into hiding. Why you ask? A Prophecy which foretold the defeat of Voldemort had been created, and there were three children who fitted the description of the child in the prophecy: Neville Longbottom and the Potter twins.

Because they did not know which Voldemort would go after, both families went into hiding, and the Potters at least were enjoying it, much to their surprise. They were mostly left alone, with the odd visit from Dumbledore, Sirius and Peter, which meant they got lots of family time.

Because James and Sirius were wary of their other friend, Remus, betraying them, he did not know the location of the cottage. Being a Werewolf and Voldemort offering Werewolves better prospects, they thought he might turn on them.

Lily, who trusted Remus more than Peter thought this was ridiculous, but no one listened to her; she had been even more unhappy when she was told Peter was their Secret Keeper, and when James tried to calm her down, he fuelled the fire even more and ended up sleeping on the couch for the next week.

She had written to Remus to apologise and to say she trusted him. He was hurt by what was happening but said he understood. Lily thought it would serve James right if after pushing Remus away he joined the Death Eaters after all.

Right then, their front gate creaked: that reminded James he needed to oil it. James, confused by this, went to the door and poked his head outside. To his horror, it was Voldemort. "Lily! It's him! Take the kids and run! I'll try and hold him off!" James called to his wife who was running down the stairs.

After looking out at the dark figure that was certainly Voldemort stride up their front path, (her red hair going in all directions) she ran upstairs to the nursery and locked the door behind her.

James did not have a wand, which meant he did not hold Voldemort back much; a simple spell and James was history. "Stupefy," he said, sending James out of his path with the stunning spell. Then Voldemort headed upstairs to where the children were, and probably their mother.

The door was no problem, a blasting hex got rid of it. Then there was the mudblood: rather than kill her, he stunned her. The only thing better than killing the adult Potters was putting them through knowing they failed to protect their children.

Then he walked up to the crib and looked in at the two dark-haired children. The girl had dark red hair and was quite scrawny, while the boy was quite chubby and had black hair. Voldemort's first reaction was to examine the boy: he seemed nothing special, quite strong but nothing special. But refusing to believe a girl could be his equal, he decided the boy was the one.

Right as he pointed his wand at the boy, the girl opened her eyes and looked straight at him. The stare of those brown/green eyes stung, and Voldemort was a bit put off. While he got his mind on the job, he failed to notice the girl moved to be blocking his aim at her brother, meaning his wand was now pointed at her.

"Avada Kedavra!" he cried. Just as the deadly green light left his wand, a window of water formed in front of the children, and the spell bounced off it and hit him, causing him to let out a horrible scream, and the house to half collapse.

Soon after, Dumbledore arrived and awake the two knocked out Potters. They found Voldemort's ashes and the two very much alive children. After examining them both, Dumbledore decided that Daniel was the one because he had a lightning bolt scar on his forehead. He failed to see the dew-drop shaped scar on Elizabeth's chest or pretending not to see it.

As Lily and James celebrated their son's victory and their children's survival, Dumbledore grinned: perfect. Now he would remove the girls' power, and give it to James for safe keeping, and all his plans would be laid. James was perfect for it; he would keep it safe and not ask questions.

Now, when the time was right it would be easy to get rid of the only one destined to be more powerful than him: Elizabeth Potter. Without her power she was nothing. With her in a state to be easily gotten out of the way, and Daniel to get rid of Voldemort, Dumbledore knew it was smooth sailing from here to his plan to take over England in the way no one would expect.

As you can see, evil Dumbles here. Leave a small note to what you think below. And I am not deleting any reviews, no, they will boost the story's reach, no matter what you say *evil grin.*

Now, even though I have made Voldie a little sexist, I will consider putting him (or Tom Riddle) and Eliza together; that would make it all the more fun, in fact!
