Lily Evans had a twin. An older sister that was nothing like her. 
The name you ask. 
Silver Violet Evans.
She had silver almost blue hair and red eyes. Ruby red. Not crucio red like Voldy.
Silver went to Beauxbatons Academy in France for her fourth year. She went to Durmstrang Insutiut of Magic in Bulgaria for her second and third year. And finally for first year, Silver went to Illvermorny School of Magic in America for her first year.
Expelled from all three from doing what she does best. Pranking, pissing off teachers and getting into fights.
But Hogwarts, the school her bratty sister goes to, has decided to let her in.
Maybe Silver could steal the heart after a certain maurader or two.
Silver and her friends become Death Eaters and at seventh year she makes up with her sister.*

~Future~

Harry Potter finds out he's been lied to, for his whole life. With the help of some close family and friends, he gets his family back, and takes down the true Dark Lord.**

*Lily Evans bashing only in the beginning, I was going to have have the whole story be like that, but I changed my mind.

**Harry Potter/Future will take place in Order of the Phoenix

A Different Sister (Editing) by harrypotter_forlife

Everyone knows about Harry James Potter, the Boy who Lived. But what if he had a sister, who no one even bothers to mention, just because she doesn't have a lightning bolt scar? Emma Lily Potter HATES her brother. Stupid Harry with his stupid scar and stupid broomstick. She's convinced that she's a hundred times better than he is. She's a natural at Quidditch, excellent at Potions and Transfiguration, and is Slytherin's star student. So why is her brother still getting all the attention for something he doesn't even remember he did? Harry James Potter doesn't want this attention. Not when his sister hates him for it. He'd do anything to get out of the spotlight and push his sister into it. But reality is reality, and he's the one with the scar, not Emma. To be honest, Emma would be an awesome Girl who Lived. Compared to her, Harry was nothing. So what if he could catch a Snitch? So could she. He wasn't particularly good at anything else, and Snape hates him amd makes his life at Hogwarts miserable. One wrong thing said, and the twins' relationship shatters. They go their separate ways, and when I say separate, I mean separate. But evil lurks at Hogwarts, inside them and in their pasts. Will they face it together, or will they succumb to evil because they aren't strong enough without each other?

When an accidental spell throws Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy back in time to the Marauder's era, they are forced to work together to save everyone from a potentially fatal time mishap. But one run-in with Lily Evans and the Marauders changes it all: suddenly, Hermione and Draco are fake-dating, and to make matters worse, a prophecy is issued that names the two as the only hope to defeat the Dark Lord.

Liberty - A Harry Potter fan fiction by Breezy_Reezy_VRB

Lavender Brown was outraged when she saw that her fraternal twin sister Liberty had also been granted acceptance to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Just once, she wanted to be different, have something of her own that Liberty couldn't touch. All their lives they had to share - clothes, toys, a bedroom. And Lavender doesn't hide her feelings. She denies their relation to anyone who will listen, happy to see Liberty hurt by her words. It isn't long until Liberty begins keeping to herself, letting no one get close to her she begins to disappear within her mind. Ginny Weasley being the kind hearted person she is, never stops trying to help Liberty feel wanted and along the way, their other class and housemates begin doing the same. But one thing will never change: The intense hatred Liberty Brown and Draco Malfoy have for each other. On the Christmas of her fifth year, Liberty is lulled away and kidnapped by Bellatrix Lestrange. Due to her warped mental state, she begins to believe that her destiny lies with the Death Eaters and willingly takes the dark mark, and her place within the Dark Lords ranks. Thrown full force into the dark arts, Liberty is urged by Draco to get out while she can. Will the one she hates more than anything be the one to save her from the void of emptiness she'd been swimming in?

The Girl Who Hid | George Weasley by lizzature

Hanging over George's back, you grunted, "Seriously, put me down, Weasley." He shook his head and laughed gleefully while he carried you downstairs. When he set you down in the empty hallway, you crossed your arms and refused to look at him. He chuckled and leaned forward until you had to back up against the wall to get any amount of space. With a cheeky grin, he murmured in your ear, "You're cute when you're mad, Potter." - This is the story of the girl who hid, the lesser known Potter twin. Assumed to be weak and innocent, she carved her own path and impacted their world in ways no one could have imagined.

Petunia really wanted a daughter and when she heard that Lily is dead and she has a daughter, she gave Lizzy the name 'Violet' and made her a dursley. She grew up as Violet 'Leta' Mary Dursley.

Clueless {Scorose} by mrsgrangerweasley

Rose Weasley has always been the top of her class. She got it from her mum, the pure determination to soak in all the information that she learned because to her, there was nothing more interesting. But at the start of her sixth year, she is already feeling stumped, and not because of the higher-level N.E.W.T classes that she is taking. No, this is because of a Malfoy. Her parents were never too thrilled that she was friends with the kid, but it didn't stop Rose, especially not when she couldn't even see her best friend/cousin without also seeing him. Along with Rose, Scorpius was also one of the top students in the class. He was her only real competition. And the friendly competition never hurt anyone, well, not until this year. Rose can't put her finger on what it is exactly, that has caused this shift in her friendship with Scorpius and she hates it. She hates not knowing the answers to things, and this one replayed in her head all the time. She's stumped trying to figure it out, of course not realizing that it's her cluelessness that's the real problem. This story is filled with all the different types of love, family, friends, and yes, some romance. Follow Rose on her coming of age journey through her last two years at Hogwarts, where she learns all that she possibly can about magic, and possibly more importantly, about life. ***Note: This story was written before the Cursed Child, so not everything is completely "cannon" but more of my ideas on the next generation before the Cursed Child even came out. Thanks for reading!***

The Exiled Malfoy by celeste_ox

"I apologise, Miss Malfoy." The hat said only to her before it shouted out, "Gryffindor!" for the rest of the hall to hear. Professors and students were shocked when Sirius Black was placed in Gryffindor, but to have a Malfoy join him? That was unheard of. Shock rippled through the room as Cordelia walked to the Gryffindor table with her head low. Out of all the houses, Gryffindor was her last choice. If she'd been put in Ravenclaw, maybe even Hufflepuff, her parents might've understood... But Gryffindor? She was a dead witch standing. -------------------- Marauder's Era fanfic OCxOC RemusxSirius JamesxLily slow updates (sorry) *cover image is from Pinterest* -------------------- Highest Rankings: #12 in wizardingwar #15 in themarauders #30 in remusxsirius #36 in malfoyfamily
