Hello! If you've gotten this far, I am honestly so happy! I know I'm not the best writer, but I'm glad you're actually reading my story! I'm Elizabeth by the way, and I am only fourteen, almost fifteen, as I write this, so please don't hate my terrible writing quite yet! I'm glad you're reading my story, it means so much to me! However, I have something else to say.

My best friend, Sophie, is also writing a story. It will be on her page, and instead of being the story of Elizabeth O'Flaherty, it will be the story of Proserpina Brutus. They will not be completely the same, because this story is what Elizabeth remembered and the other is what Proserpina remembered. I am further in than she is, but I an not going to wait for her to catch up. However I do hope that you go and check her story out as soon as you get a chance. She's amazing.

Also, disclaimer, disclaimer, disclaimer. I do not own Harry Potter. I wish I did but I can't write as good as the amazing J.K Rowling. I only own Elizabeth, Mary, Sebastian, Robert, Lauren, and Evan. And then Sophie owns Proserpina. Other than that, everything else belongs to J.K Rowling and her amazing works.

Please keep in mind that these few characters are not to be used elsewhere without me permission. This will hopefully be a real story that I will actually finish and get though. Please bear with me as I do this because I look forward to the end. And also, I think ship names are amazing, and I would love you all to come up with ship names, if it's a brother sister thing or romantic pairings I hope to see your opinions. Enjoy!
