Disclamier- I own none of JK's characters. I wish they were mine. However, any characters that aren't in HP belong to me.
Author's Note- Omg Goblet of Fire is amazing. I've seen it so many times already. OMG it is the best Harry Potter movie so far. lol Sorry for that, here are the personal thank yous like always;
Dark Fources Within- Clay will not appear again until the next chapter, so you'll hear more about him then. About Ginny being like Mrs. Weasley, you know what they say, like mother like daughter, however, as you will see with this chapter, Ginny doesn't like when she acts like her mother. She always wanted to be different from her mother at all costs but finds that she just can't hide from that. However, she is practially raising Elizabeth on her own(Clay is not much help whatsoever), so she's using the methods she remember that worked on her as a kid. She'll be broken out of her shell soon enough though. Yes, I try to look over my mistakes as best as I can before I post. I'm not a brillant writer, as most people aren't, and I do make mistakes. And plus the program I'm using doesn't have spell check so bear with me please. Other than that, thanks for the review.
harrysangel10000- I'm glad you like my story and I am so sorry it takes me so long to update. I'm going to try my hardest to keep the updates to at least every week or every week and half. Deal?

Bandolera- Yeah Harry has a problem with drinking but it will get better when he teaches at Hogwarts. McGonagall helps him out and so will Elizabeth. If it was legal to kill an 11 year old I would kill Jordi too. He sounds more like Clay's son than Bernardo's, eh. No one can mess with Ginny's daughter, since Ginny is alot like me, its like my daughter lol. Elizabeth and Harry will meet very very soon. So sit tight.
Tapanga Mai-Lynn Dawnhee- Aw thanks. I'm so amazed that people like my story. lol. Everyone is so excited for Harry and Elizabeth to meet. Everyone is just like make them meet soon, so it is coming, but not in this chapter. Next chapter, I swear it. lol. Keep on reviewing.

Awakening from the Past
Chapter Four
'Have you got everything?'
'Yes Mum.'
'All your books, clothes, quills, ink bottles, your kitten...'
'Yes Mum.'
'Are you sure, because we can always go over your list...'
'Mum!' Elizabeth said, haulting her mother, 'I have everything. We've already triple checked everything. I'm all set and ready to go.
Ginny smiled. She knew she was being a slight bit over dramatic, but she couldn't help it. Her little girl was heading off to Hogwarts. She remember how much her mother had fussed over her when she was leaving for the first time to Hogwarts. She just wanted to make sure that her daughter got the same treatment. Sometimes, however, it scared her how much she acted like her mother. She vowed when she was little to never nag and pester as much as her mother did to her, but things change. She was a mother now too. She couldn't just waltz around and give her daughter total freedom. She was her responsibility. And her's alone.
'Mum, can we get going? I'm going to miss the train.' Elizabeth said, all ready at the door.
'You're not going to miss the train. Your aunt and uncle are just outside. You'll be on time.' Ginny said, shooing her daughter out the door so she could lock up.
'Gin! Wanna hurry up! We're going to be late!' Ron yelled out the car window.
'Oh would you shut up.' Ginny yelled back, as she came down the stairs of the house, 'Your just as bad as Izzy.'
'I try.' Ron replied, grinning as his younger sister climbed into the back of the car, 'Now for the last time, are you sure you don't want me driving to the train station 'Mione?'
'Ron, just because you think its easy to drive one of those stupid driving games at the muggle theatre, doesn't mean its easy to drive a real car.' Hermione replied, rolling her eyes.
'I'm not even going to ask.' Ginny replied, laughing.
'So are you all ready for school?' Hermione asked ignoring both her husband and sister-in-law.
'Yeah, I'm a little nervous but I'm more than ready.' Elizabeth said excitedly.
'Just make sure to make lots of friends and don't piss anyone off the first day or you could live to regret it for the rest of your life.' Ron said, turning around to look at her.
'Ron! That's a terrible thing to tell your niece.' Hermione said, smacking him in the arm.
'But its true. I mean look what happened with Malfoy. We pissed him off within five minutes of being at Hogwarts and we really lived to regret that.'
'What your uncle meant to say was, don't focus on being one of the popular kids and just focus on doing well in school.' Hermione replied.
'Thank god she doesn't have to put up with Snape like we did.'
'That's true.' Ginny said, 'Slughorn is still there though, which is good for her.'
'So she'll definately get favoured when he finds out her mother is Ginny Weasley, her aunt is Hermione Granger and her father was Harry Potter.' Ron scoffed.
'Why will I get favoured?' Elizabeth asked.
'Because Slughorn has this group called "The Slug Club" and students who are related to his favourites in the past will get in.'
'Were you in it Uncle Ron?'
'No, but your mum got in because she impressed him by hexing a guy on the train, your aunt got in because she was friends with you dad and was smart and your dad got in because his mother was one of his favourite students.'
'How come you didn't get in?' Ron muttered something and Hermione glared at him, the look telling him to drop it.
'Let's just say, your uncle didn't impress as well as we did.' Ginny said, smirking.
'Alright, can we just shut up about this whole "Slug Club" thing. If she gets in great, if she doesn't great. That's not the most important thing. The most important thing about school is Quidditch!' Ron stated.
'That may have been your's and Harry's number one priority, but it sure as hell won't be my daughter's.' Ginny said, glaring at her brother.
'But mum!'
'I never said you couldn't play Quidditch, I just said I don't want the focus of your school time to be on it.'
'But I want to be as good as dad was at my age.' Elizabeth whined.
'You need to get a move on then, sweetface. Your father was twice as good as you are at age eleven.'
'Okay, then I want to be as good as you were mum.'
Ginny blushed, 'Well, you already are better than me. I wasn't much...'
'Don't be modest Ginny. You were an amazing chaser in school. You were also an amazing seeker when Harry couldn't play.' Hermione replied, as she stopped the car infront of the train station, 'Alirght, we're here.' As they piled out of the car, Elizabeth felt her heart begin to race. She couldn't believe after all these years of hearing stories about Hogwarts from her family, she was finally going. She finally was going to become a Hogwarts student, and hopefully a Gryffindor, just like her mum's whole side of the family and her dad.
'Nervous?' Ginny asked, grabbing onto her daughter's hand.
'A little bit.' Elizabeth replied.
'Don't worry, everyone is the first time. It's a big change but trust me, you'll have loads of fun.'
'Okay Gin, just don't go any further with that conversation. It sounds like a sex talk, or something.' Ron said, as they made their way through the massive crowd at King's Cross.
'Ronald please. Stop acting like such a child.' Hermione said, getting impatient with her husband, 'Only you can turn something simple, into something dirty.'
'That's not true!'
'Alright sweetface, here we are.' Ginny said, as the four of them stopped in front of the passageway between platforms 9 and 10, 'Do you want one of us to go through before you to show you how its done?'
'No, no I think I can do it.' Elizabeth replied. She took a deep breath and quickly ran towards the "wall". Any muggle who was looking at her at the current moment probably thought she was out of her mind, running into a wall. When she appeared on the other side, her face lit up with excitement. The Hogwarts Express was gleaming and hundreds of students were making their way onto the train.
'Beautiful, isn't it?' Hermione asked her niece. Elizabeth turned around to notice her mum, her aunt and her uncle had made their way through the barrier as well and were now admiring the train as well.
'Yeah, it is.'
'Come on. We'll help you get ready and get a seat.' Ginny said, pushing her daughter gently by the shoulders, through the crowd.
'Ah long time no see again!' Elizabeth heard her Uncle Bernardo yell out towards them, 'Hello darlings.' Bernardo said, kissing Elizabeth's forehead, and then Ginny's cheek.
'How long have you been here for?' Ginny asked, passing Elizabeth's luggage to Bernardo who put it under the train followed by Jordi's luggage.
'Almost a half hour now. Jordi wanted to get here early so he could meet up with all his friends.' Bernardo replied, laughing.
'Where is Jordi?' Ginny asked, scanning the crowd of kids.
'He's around somewhere.' Elizabeth spotted him quickly with a group of his friends. Now that him and his friends were no longer first years, they thought they were tough shit. What a fun year I'm going to have. She thought.
Jordi caught sight of her and smiked. He began to walk over towards her with one of his guy friends. His friend was pretty good looking for a boy of his age. He had black hair with a navy blue tinge. He was quite a bit taller than she was, around 5'8". He was dressed in a white t-shirt and ripped, faded blue jeans. He smiled at her, and she blushed.
'This is Noah.' Jordi said to his father. Bernardo shook the boy's hand firmly, 'Nice to meet you.'
'And this is my Aunt Ginny, her brother, her sister-in-law and...' Jordi said, turning to Elizabeth and frowning, 'that's Elizabeth.' Then he whispered to Noah, 'You don't have to be nice to her though.'
Noah smiled, 'Nice to meet you all.' he said, shaking Ginny, Ron, Hermione and even Elizabeth's hand. Suddenly, the train whistle blew.
'Later dad.' Jordi said, disappearing with Noah into the crowd.
'Alright sweetface, I want you to be careful, don't fall behind in you studies, be good, and write home as much as you can.' Ginny said.
'I will.' Elizabeth replied. Ginny smiled and pulled her daughter into a loving hug. 'I love you, my Izzy Bee.' Ginny said kissing her daughter's forehead.
'Love you too mum. Bye Uncle Ron, by Aunt Mione.'
'Bye sweetie, have fun.'
'Play lots of Quidditch.'
'Bye Uncle 'Nardo.'
'Listen, if Jordi and his friends pick on you at all at school, feel free to hit them or something.' he said, kissing her cheek.
She smiled, 'I will.' With one last goodbye to her family, she climbed onto the train.
As she walked through the corridor of the train, trying to find an empty compartment, many of the students stared at her and whispered. She managed to make her way to the back of the train, having checked the other compartments to find them all full. She opened the door to find a girl her age sitting next to the window, reading a book. The girl looked up at her.
'Sorry. I'll just go. Don't want to disturb your reading.' Elizabeth said, turning to leave.
'No it's alright.' the girl said, 'it would be nice to have someone to talk to.'
'Really?' The girl smiled, 'Yeah, come sit.'
Elizabeth smiled back and sat down across from her. 'I'm Makayla Malfoy.' the girl said, putting her book down and pushing her platinum blonde hair out of her face.
'Elizabeth Weasley.'
'Isn't is Weasley-Devereaux?'
'Uh... yeah.' Elizabeth muttered.
Makayla smirked, 'I though I reconized you. You're in the paper a lot.'
'So that's why people have been looking at me and whispering.'
'Well when you're the daughter of a famous Quidditch player...' Makayla started.
'Step daughter.'
'Oh, well in the paper it said...'
'You shouldn't believe everything you read. But yeah, he's only my step dad... my- my dad died before I was born.'
'My dad did too. He died in this war thing. Left my mum pregnant with me.'
Elizabeth's eyes went wide, 'So-so did my dad.'
'Really?' Makayla asked, 'If you don't mind me asking, who was your dad?'
'Harry Potter.'
Makayla leaned back in her seat, 'Oh.' She replied and turned her head to look out the window.
'What's wrong?' Elizabeth asked.
'I'm a Malfoy.' Elizabeth just looked at her. 'Your father was Harry Potter.'
'So?'
'Don't you get it! My dad was Draco Malfoy. He fought in the war on the opposite side of your dad. Doesn't that bother you?' Makayla asked.
'Not really. That whole thing happened so long ago and I don't know about you, but I don't really have any friends. I also don't want to toss away friendships on a count of my dad's old rivalries.'
'Yeah, you seem like a pretty cool person.' Makayla said and held out her hand. Elizabeth smiled back and shook her hand.
After practically raiding the food trolley, the two girls sat in their compartement laughing and talking about anything and everything.
'So what's it like living with a famous, hot, Quidditch superstar?' Makayla asked, popping a few Bertie Botts' into her mouth.
'It's not all what its cracked up to be. And if you can keep a secret...'
'I can.'
'He... he beats up on my mum.'
'Oh my god.' Makayla replied, cupping her mouth. 'See, I never knew what my parent's relationship was like. All my mum told me was that they were a couple in school but my dad- well he was sort of a private person, you know.'
'Actually, while were keeping secrets, would you mind... not telling anyone that Harry Potter was my real dad. I mean, if anyone found out, if it somehow got to the papers, there's no tellling what Clay could... would do to my mum. He hates the mention of my dad.'
'Yeah. Yeah of course. If it were a secret, I'd tell you not to say anything about my dad but everyone knows. That's why I don't have many friends either. Once people know I'm Draco Malfoy's daughter, they pretty much run off or give me dirty looks. I guess he was a really bad person.'
'I've only heard stories but none of them were ever good.'
Makayla sighed, 'Anyways, let's just get off that topic. What house-' There was a knock at the compartment door. 'Hello?' Makayla asked.
The door opened and there stood a timid looking boy, probably the same age as them. He had unruly dark brown hair and beautiful hazel eyes.
'Can we help you?' Makayla asked.
'I was just wondering if I could, uh, share this compartment with you.'
At the same time Elizabeth said yes, Makayla said no. Elizabeth looked over at her new found friend.
'What? He looks weak.' Makayla whispered.
'You truly are your father's daughter.' Elizabeth whispered back and Makayla smirked the famous Malfoy smirked.
'Yeah, you can come in and sit down with us.' Elizabeth said smiling at the boy. The boy smiled and sat down next to Makayla. Makayla rolled her eyes, 'So you're a first year then?'
'Yeah.' the boy said.
'So are we.' Elizabeth said, holding out her hand, 'Hi. I'm Elizabeth Weasley... -Devereaux.'
The boy shook her hand, ' I know you. You're that Quidditch star, Clay Devereaux's daughter.'
'Yeah... that's me.' Elizabeth muttered.
'I'm Aidan Wood.'
'Wood! As in, your father is Oliver Wood, the Puddlemere Keeper?' Elizabeth asked.
'Yup, that's him.'
'He's an amazing keeper. My ste- my dad always complains that he is too good. I'd love to have a father like him. You must be amazing at Quidditch'
'Well you must be too but yeah my dad's been teaching me some moves. He wants me to be a keeper, just like him. But my mum, Katie Bell, wants me to be a chaser like her.'
'Your mum is Katie Bell? Puddlemere Chaser, Katie Bell!'
'That's the one.'
'That's amazing. I would love to have your parents!'
Aidan smiled, and then turned to Makayla and stuck out his hand, 'I'm sorry, I haven't even talked with you yet. Aidan Wood.'
Makayla rolled her eyes again, 'Malfoy. Makayla Malfoy.' She said, keeping her arms folded over her chest.
'Oh yes, I've heard all about you.'
'You have?' Makayla asked, her eyes lighting up, thinking it was something good.
'Yeah, you're the love child of Draco Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson.'
Makayla narrowed her eyes at him, 'What's your point? Tones of people had love children at the time during the war. They all thought they were going to die, so might as well have children while the oppourtunity presents itself. That's why so many women these days aren't with the father of their children. They are either... dead or the father didn't want a kid to look after.'
Elizabeth sighed. If her father were alive, would he have stayed with her mum? Her mum did say they were very much in love with each other, but would having a baby change everything?
'Hell even some women, like my mother, don't want their children.' Makayla continued, 'But they're stuck with us. You on the other hand.' She pointed at Aidan, ' Your parents probably planned and wanted you.'
'I- I'm sorry for starting this conversation.' Aidan said.
'No, its just... I get touchy on the subject. I mean, who wouldn't.
There was a long point of silence between the three of them. Then Elizabeth spoke, 'Well I guess we should go change into our robes. I'll meet you guys back here soon.' She said, leaving the compartment. As soon as she closed the door behind herself, she took a deep breath. That was a lot of information to take in for the last five minutes. It was just simply overwhelming her. And although both Makayla and Aidan would be two people she could call her first friends, their conversation put her on the edge. What if her dad had been alive today, and didn't want anything to do with her? The even bigger question: Did her mum even want her? All her mum had ever told her was that she found out three months after the war she was pregnant with her and that she was scared that the father of her child wasn't there to help her. She also told her that when she finally gave birth to her, she was so happy to be blessed with her.
However, she never told her, her feelings durning the pregnancy. She had a feeling that she knew just exactly what Makayla was going through.
'Well, well, well. If it isn't my pathetic excuse for a cousin.' Elizabeth turned around so she could be face to face with Jorid. He had about eight or nine of his friends with him, including Noah.
'Typical that I'd find you out here, wandering about, with no friends.' Jordi said.
'Actually, I was just about to change into my robes.' Elizabeth replied, 'My friends are waiting for me back in our compartment.'
'A little inside information. This isn't baby school, Izzy, imaginary friends don't count.' A bunch of Jordi's friends began to laugh at the comment.
'Come on Jordi, leave her alone.' Noah said.
'Whatever.' Jordi replied, pushing Elizabeth so that she fell to the ground. The group of guys, excluding Noah, laughed and walked away. Noah stayed behind to help Elizabeth back up.
'Look, I'm sorry about the way he treated you. I mean, that's no way to treat your family.'
'Oh, it's nothing new. Did you know he tried to kill me the other day by shoving me off a bookstore balcony?' Elizabeth asked.
'Yeah, actually he kind of mentioned it.' Noah said, running his fingers through his hair.
'Well, uh, I guess I should get going.' Elizabeth said, turning to leave. She felt his hand, however, grab her wrist gently, and she turned back around.
'I'll see you around?' Noah asked.
'Yeah, see you around.' Elizabeth replied, smiling. She quickly turned away and headed towards the bathroom, blushing the whole way there.
