Author note: I do not own Harry potter J.K Rowling does. I only own My Oc
I was born on a snowy day on January 30, one hour behind my beloved adorable older twin sister Lily evans. When we were born we were nearly identical but there were a couple of things that made us different.
One was our hair, Lily like our mother had Auburn hair. While I like our father and our older sister Petunia had blond hair.
Two, our eye color. We both had green eyes like our father but there was a difference Lily had a much brighter emerald green color eyes while I had more of a sea green eye color.
My name is Azalea evans younger twin sister of Lily and younger sister of Petunia evans. How come you never heard of me? Well I was never really around much I guess… By the time certain events had happened I was out of reach.
Too far.. And too gone….
My name Is Azalea evans and I was supposed to die on the night when our parents house was caught on fire. But that didn't happen, I guess I should tell you certain things about myself so I will.
Petunia, Lily, and I were rather close to each other. As kids we would play with each laugh with each other and tease each other with things. Back when things were simpler and we were naive little kids. Back when Petunia still accepted Lily back when we knew nothing of magic.
Those were good times… There are many things that I could blame for the reason when we grew older we started to grow distant. Maybe I could blame Petunia for growing concerned for lily flying of the swings. Or her over protectiveness not wanting Lily to be taken into the government for experiments. Maybe I could blame Lily for having something neither of could follow her into. Or maybe I could blame Lily's so called childhood friend Snape.
No, I don't blame them for these Petunia had loved us both equally. I couldn't blame her for thing that I was concerned about too. Lily was a carefree child back then, she wasn't worried about thing like us. It was something I envied about my twin.
I don't blame Snape. No, matter how much I wanted too. She was born with it, no matter how much I didn't want her to be.
No, I blamed myself. If I wasn't born with a photographic memory Lily wouldn't have been overshadowed by me or Petunia who was naturally good with academics. She wouldn't have felt so left out as our parents showed us as much as attention to us with clubs I had talked Petunia into.
Maybe,Then she wouldn't have felt like she was a pretty face who had to work extremely hard to keep up with Petunia and I.
It was on our eleventh birthday, that only ONE letter came for Lily. I could still remember Lily's confusion of the letter, It wasn't until the very next day that a professor form that School came over. Snape lily's best friend had come with us to pick up her stuff for Hogwarts.
Petunia and I were rather uncomfortable about the idea of.. Well… Magic… But with different reasons and ideas. In the end Lily was our sister the only reason we were really uncomfortable with the idea was because we couldn't make sure she was safe in the end.
On September, 12. We had said our goodbyes, but Petunia had to ruin it.
"Freak." Petunia spat out. Lily cheerful smile dimmed looking rather hurt by Petunia word.I frowned at Petunia, before poking Lilly at the cheek softly, making her look at me. I smiled at her,
"Stay safe." I said hugging her, she had hugged back. "You aren't mad?" She asked. I didn't answer instead I said. "Promise no matter what we will always have our family bond?" She had smiled, nodding, before she ran off into a wall.
We saw her at the end of June, by then I had reconciled with Petunia, while writing Lilly letters that I had noticed started to become rather… Short notes instead.
Petunia and Lily relationship, I should have done something to help them reconnect. But I didn't I was too busy with things, too busy to notice Lily.
"Azalea?" she had asked hesitantly.
"What?" I asked not looking up from my project.
"Does...Does Tunia hate me?" She questioned.
"Why would she." I said. 'You and I are her sister. She loves you as much as she does 'll cool down once she knows you haven't changed and you are still you,"
Lily, nodded.
"After all we can't be L.A.P without you.' I joked, making Lily giggle at our inside joke. Lily ran off to find Snape. While I continued to work on my project. Yea, I was all work and no play even at a young age.
By the time I was less busy It was Lily was already off to Hogwarts once again
Later on Petunia had soon considered as someone who lived at our house during the summer and that I was her only sister. She always was a great older sister but when she becomes bitter to someone she becomes a horrible person. I soon tried to soothe Petunia horrible persona to make her improve her relationship with Lily but she would rather storm off to her friends than listen.
It wasn't until after Lily's fourth year at hogwarts I had become bitter with her as well.
"I HATE YOU!." Lily screamed at me. I took a step back, Lily has always had a temper but she had never gotten mad at me before.
"YOU SHOULD HAVE NEVER GONE THROUGH MY STUFF!"She yelled at me. "You always take her side never mine! Even as kids you never can let me have anything can you!?"
She pushed me to the ground running off to who knows where, I was too shock to care though. I would never and had never done that to Lily .Not intentionally of course, by the time I tried to reconcile with Lily, she no longer wanted it.
I had accepted that she didn't want to think that Petunia was the mastermind of that prank. She wanted to blame me breaking her strong sister connection with Tunia on me.
I took it, I became a bitter supporter after that though.
"Azalea?" Lily had come into my room without knocking, I was sitting at my desk.
'Hmm?" I hummed. Not bothering to look up at my sister. I learned to stop looking at her glaring, accusing eyes.
" I want you to meet some people" She stated.
"Are they going to stay for dinner?" I asked. Still typing an essay for college, no longer caring if she sneered at me. Ever since in the end of her fourth year at Hogwarts, are relationship had gotten cold. Too cold for my liking and understanding.
"Yes, but I rather have you meet them now." She said. I sighed not even turning towards her.
"No, you said they'll stay for dinner and i'm busy so'll meet them at dinner." I told her. Not looking at her directly but staring at her cold emerald eyes aimed at me at the screen of my computer.
"Fine!" She said. Stomping away, I continued to type before it slowed down. My shoulder sagged down before it shook. I breathed heavily before reaching out for a pillow to muffle my sobs.
Even if I accepted the changes that were bound to happen i hated it so, so much. I wanted Lily to stop hating me for being Petunia favorite sister. I wanted Petunia to reconcile with Lily. I wanted my parents to look closer and do something to make us all get along. I wanted my family back like it was not this huge mess.
I hated how distant we all had become to each other. Family was supposed to be thicker than water right? Then why did it feel like it wasn't?
Meeting James Potter, Sirius Black and Remus Lupin. Was interesting Lily pretended not to hate me, I was grateful for that.
"So, your lilykins twin?" James began, looking at me then back at Lily. "You two almost look alike it would be scary if we didn't know some troublesome twins from Hogwarts."
Sirius nodded. "We had to out prank them and claim our thrones when we were first years." Remus lips quirk up before nodding.
"So what were you doing that you were too busy to come down and meet us before dinner?" Ahh the most infamous question that I as waiting for.
"I was to busy with writing a report for college, going to oxford. After that I have a job offer for teaching." Remus? I believe was his name who had sandy brown hair and invisible scars. Had perked up when I said teaching.
"You want to become a teacher?" He questioned. I tilted my head before nodding, was it just me or did Sirius and James grinned at each other?
The dinner was rather fun if Sirius and James hadn't done a prank on Petunia. Who shriek outrage and yelled at Lily. Things had turned to the worst right then, before things turned quiet as I got up grabbed my plate leaving the dining room, putting my dish into the sink and ran upstairs. I could still hear the screaming.
I didn't see Lily, after that day. I was later invited to come to Petunia wedding where I had become a bridesmaid. She was marrying Dursley. The very man I had come to so very much, i had warned Petunia against marrying him before telling her I just want her to be happy.
A year later I was invited to Lily wedding. I had also been a bridesmaid for her, though I had a suspicion that it was on our mother assistant that Lily had let me be one.
I soon moved out of my parents house, into a apartment. I was moving to a house closer to my job now. I was so happy that I officially pay for a house. That was when I finally meet the "one."
Okay, at the time I didn't know he was the one but he had amnesia after almost drowning on a rainy had raven black hair that was rather soft like silk I mused. He was pale but had rather noblish feature..
Of course I called an ambulance. I was there when they had said he had amnesia. I was the one after that took him in and tried to establish a "Normal" life into him. What I didn't realise years later was that after I took in my nephew was that he remembered and decided to stick with me even after remembering.
The death of our parents was hard to take in. I had finally snapped at Lily. Telling her what I had felt like for the years when she had gone to hogwarts punched James in the face. I was pretty sure I broke his nose. Before storming off.
It wasn't like me, to be better or angry. I was the soft one never yelling never being bitter always acceptance of life. But these were my parents. I was supposed to visit this day six hours earlier, I could have died.I thought. Lily could die…
I sat numb before trying to get drunk, I wanted to forget, I wanted to die, I wanted our family to be happy but it was too late too many mistakes have been made. I blamed myself for every mistake. I could have done something and yet I did nothing.
Regulus the man that I had saved wouldn't let me get drunk, he wouldn't let me try to numb the pain either. The evil, evil arse wouldn't let me be pray to him either. Instead he let me do something i never had done before he let me cry on his shoulder.
Now, That I'm up to date, I was there when Petunia had given birth to my nephew Dudley a cute and adorable newborn baby. Until he was about 8 months when he had become a bloody menace.
Everything was going fine until one day….
"Hello?" I answered the phone.
"Lea?" Petunia asked, hesitantly. I was alert Petunia, was never hesitant she was always confident and overprotective. Yes, but never hesitant.
"Yes?" I wearily said. What was said before i took off to petunia place with her husband had flew straight into my ear and out of the other.
So, now here I was at privet drive house 4 in little whinging survey. Reading a letter that Albus Dumbledore sent to both Petunia and I.
I looked up to see Petunia pleading face, I knew right then that I would have to take in Harry. Even If I didn't want to or Petunia would have to let Vermon abuse Harry. I couldn't let that happen even if I cut off all connection with Lily as well after a huge fight. We were the evans sister we still had a bond no matter how strained.
I looked over to harry's sleeping form before he yawned and open his eyes. My breath hitched, Harry, Harry may have looked like James…. But he had Lily's eyes emerald green eyes.
I took harry "I'll send a letter to Albus to let him know of or decision, I know how much you hate to do that letter messaging."
I still looked like Lily. I thought as harry didn't have a confused face like he did when looking at Petunia. Petunia had somehow once looked so pretty, but words cannot describe of what she has began to look, she still was pretty but bitterness had consumed her.
