No one in Hogwarts remembered she used to have a brother, if they could they'd said there was no way they were siblings. Olivia knew this very well, but the shame she felt when people murmured about her was nothing, because in the end being so diffe...

Hogwarts, October 1975, detention.
That little comment she made at Binns class earned her an evening detention with professor Slughorn, YES, Slughorn. He liked to keep a close watch on all the Slytherin troublemakers, as he would put it.
Detention was something Olivia was used to. One too many times she would get herself in trouble for saying things she shouldn't. By now Slughorn was too used to having the Nott girl in detention, she wasn't always there, but when she wanted to cause wreckage she knew exactly how. It was almost time for Olivia to go back to Slytherin's common room so she started packing her stuff and walking out of Slughorn's office when she heard his voice.
"And miss Nott before you go, just so you know we're sending a note to your parents because this behavior is not acceptable here at Hogwarts," said Slughorn, "And you know it very well," said making eye contact.
"I know professor," said Olivia knowingly, "I was just joking around with Evans".
That night it was hard for Olivia to fall asleep because the one thought that roamed her mind was what would Tommy think. Often she had that on her mind, she just wondered, again, and again, and again, and once more just to be sure but she never found the courage in her to try something else.

The next morning when she stepped into the great hall for breakfast the air suddenly change. She could hear people talking about her, saying that she was mean, whispering the words she said to Lily. What happened that day outside the library was a secret that the whole School knew, and you could tell there was a boy in the Gryffindor table ready to make Olivia pay. From the moment she stepped into the great hall James Potter couldn't keep his eyes from her. He was planning something.
"I know who we can prank next," said James without looking at her.
"Don't you even think about it," said Sirius following james' eyes, "Remember what happened in third year when we tried to prank her?"
"Yeah it was a total mess," said Peter agreeing with Sirius, "I don't think we should try again," Said Peter in a very unsure tone.
"How can you be saying that when she said those awful things to my Lilyflower?," Asked James just looking away from Olivia when he mentioned Lily.
"We don't even know if it's true," said Remus looking up from his book for the first time since he opened it.
"You're calling my Lilyflower a liar!!," said James standing with an angry look.
