Author's Note: Hi. Thank you for reading my story. I was actually hoping that you people out there in fanfiction land could give me a hand with this one. I read a story about 2 years ago that only had one chapter at the time. A story I have not been able to find again. I do not remember the name of this story but I have a passage from it that inspired me copied down. I am putting that passage in here with the hopes that one of you will be able to tell me the story it was in and the author who wrote it. It was a Lily and James fic but that is about all I remember. The speaker in this passage is Lily Evans.

Passage:

I don't doubt that I'm an introvert, what writer isn't? All writing is born out of that inward sea of turbulent emotion, the ebb and flow of the tide of emotional agony, the crashing waves of misery on the shores of the soul. I am caught in the riptide, and although I try to anchor myself to the land with trails of ink, I only get swept further and further out to sea. One day it will drown me. I have no illusion about that. There are no charms to stop this most ancient inexorable call. But I will smile, for now. I will ward my inner storms with sunshine for now.

Chapter 2:

Shadow followed the elderly professor into a sitting room. She watched as he walked into the room lighting candles by waving his hand over them. She was fascinated of the gentle power of this man. A power she never wished to see ignited with the flames of anger. "Come sit Shadow, I have a long tale to tell you. Parts of it may anger you and frustrate you but that which is past is past and we can only decide what we are to do with the time given to us in the future."

Shadow sat in one of the comfortable overstuffed red chair. This room almost appeared to be normal and didn't have any of the dark foreboding feeling that she had felt emanating from other parts of the house. "Could you start with my name? I have always wanted to know my real name." Shadow looked up at the Grandfatherly man with eyes that begged him to not deny her this one request.

"It is interesting that you wish to know your name. Names have power to them, you know. I wish to say this to you, never fear a name for it only increases the fear of the thing itself. Enough of that though, your true name is Aurelia Minerva Lily Potter. You are the daughter of James and Lily Potter and the twin sister of Harry James Potter. You were born on the 31st of July, which will make tomorrow your birthday." Dumbledore looked at his watch. "Actually, let me be the first to wish you a Happy Birthday in 15 years."

"Thank you," whispered Shadow. In her mind the name Aurelia Minerva Lily Potter was ringing again and again. She felt connected to this name but she did not entirely feel that this name was hers. She remembered, or seemed to remember or at least dreamt of remembering someone calling her Aurelia deep in her past.

"Now I must tell you a story. This story is the true story. It is a story that few know in full truth. This story begins over sixty years ago with the birth of wizard named Tom Marvolo Riddle…" Dumbledore paused for a moment. He seemed to be very far away in a time that was now buried deep with in his memory.

Dumbledore went on to explain to Shadow, or as we must know her now Aurelia Minerva Lily Potter of the first rise of Lord Voldemort. Dumbledore explained the war that had happened before her birth. He explained the prophesy that had been spoken and how they had known that it would either be the unborn innocent child of Lily and James Potter or Alice and Frank Longbottom who would be responsible for the final demise of this Dark Lord. In the end Voldemort had caused his own semi-destruction when he attacked the Potter's. Voldemort had marked the infant child Harry James Potter as the one who would destroy him.

After the deaths of Lily and James and the defeat of Voldemort the wizarding world had been caught up in celebrating the victory of Harry Potter the boy who lived. Everyone except those who had been very close to the Potter's had forgotten about the second child. Harry's twin sister, Aurelia, was assumed to be dead or everyone had just forgotten her. Harry, as everyone knew, had been sent to live with relative.

Aurelia on the other hand was moved from home to home, working on her education by correspondence. Her very existence had been unknown to the world. This was because of an early prophesy, on that had been given by the respected Cassandra Trelawney.

This prophesy had stated that; "When hope has failed, fear not for the light. For a reluctant warrior destiny waits, to hold up the flag of the Light. The Shadow Lark waits in the darkness before she comes to sing, to the light hope she will bring. Guard well the Shadow Lark less hope though will loose."

Dumbledore finished by telling Aurelia of Harry's life and his accomplishments in the past 15 years. He told her that she would get to meet her brother but he didn't know how Harry would react because Harry hated having things kept from him.

"Professor, may I go to bed. I wish to be up tomorrow before noon and if I don't." Aurelia (Shadow was still having trouble thinking of herself as Aurelia) got up and walked out of the room. Turning around she looked at Dumbledore. "Where will I be staying?" she asked.

"Lets go find Molly and she will show you your room. I believe you will be rooming with Hermione, one of you brother's best friends and Ginny, Molly's daughter and youngest child." Dumbledore and Aurelia left the study and went off in search of Molly.

Molly was found in the kitchen still talking to Tonks and Remus. Aurelia noticed that there was another man whose face looked like someone had torn it apart sitting with the others. "Molly, could you please take Aurelia to her room, then come back here I wish to speak with you all." Dumbledore said while pouring himself a cup of tea from the kettle on the table.

"Come with me Aurelia, Remus has already put your stuff in your room." Molly and Aurelia walked up several flights of stairs till they came to the flour where the girls' room was. "You bed is by the window, dear Enya." Molly gave the girl a motherly hug before leaving.

Aurelia sat down on her new bed and picked up Lily who had found her way on to her bed. "Well, Lily, I guess this is our home for now. I have a new name and a new story again but this time it's my real name and my true story. I won't ever have to change my name again Lily and guess what? I have a brother too! Isn't that exciting! My name is Aurelia Minerva Lily Potter, see I'm a Lily too." With this Aurelia put the purring feline back on her bed got her pyjamas out of her trunk and pu them on. Then she got into be and fell asleep.

What Aurelia didn't was that another red head had been awake to hear her hushed words to her cat. Ginny Weasley had woken up when her mother had brought Aurelia upstairs. Now her eyes were open wide in shock at hearing Aurelia's word. It took her some time to get back to sleep after hearing this revelation
