Authors Note: Mark Evans is a real character. He's in the 5th book.

Lily Evans had a little brother. Mark was the baby of the family. Lily would have loved him with all her heart. But she was dead. Dead for five years, when little Mark was born. Mark had only his Mom, and Dad. The unknown brown-haired girl disappeared from photographs after one of her in a beautiful, flowing white dress. The red-haired girl was everywhere in the house. She appeared as a newborn, a teenager, a graduate (of somewhere), married to a dark-haired man, and lastly, a picture at a baby's first birthday.

Mark tried to discover who these mystery women were, but he only found a few things: the dark-haired girl's name was Petunia. She married an awful man and disgraced the Evans name. Of the fire-topped girl, Mark learned only one thing: DON'T MENTION HER. Mark tried, time and time again, but dad always left the house to take a long walk through the country side that surrounded the house, and Mom collapsed in tears.

Mark would leave and think and dream of the girls, and imagine they were with him, to explain, have fun with and love.

When Mark was ten, he demanded to meet this "wrecker of the Evans name". He wanted to know who he was, his identity, his family. He wanted to meet the girls.

Mark's parents dropped him off a park two blocks from Petunia's house. "First, Explain who you are. Petunia hasn't spoken to us since she married, and doesn't know you exist. She has a son, Dudley, who is 15. That's all we know." His parents told Mark this after he insisted to meet his sisterI have a sister.

Elated, Mark began walking up the road to meet, for the first time, his big sister.


"Huh, punk, u lookin fo sumbudy?"

Mark tried to be polite "excuse me. Im lust going to meet someone."

"a chicken! A chicken! Yea, yoo a stupid punk. An sstuupid peepel need to be tuwt sum manners. Wat'cha say boys?"

Grunts from all sround sounded, and Mark realized just how much pain he was in for.
