July 31st within the Potter estate had been, at first, a mass cause for a celebration. Magical twins were rare, even rarer when born of opposite genders. But all good things must eventually make way for the dark. A 'prophesy' brought forth the fear and uncertainty. 15 months later, upon a late Samhain eve, an attack took place. Then when a choice- the wrong choice - between two infants is made, so too is the fate of the wizarding world. Abandoned and forgotten by her parents, the youngest Potter is whisked away by one that remembers her soul. Raised far away, and long into a history that's passed, the young Morgana Lilianna Dorea Potter-Black trains for her second chance at life, as the overshadowed, forgotten, and hidden Potter twin, and the true girl who lived.
