The smoky shadow of a tall man with untidy hair fell to the ground as Bertha had done, straightened up, and looked at him... and Harry, his arms shaking madly now, looked back into the ghostly face of his father.
"Your mother's coming..." he said quietly. "She wants to see you...needs to speak to you... it will be all right... hold on..."
And she came... first her head, then her body... a young woman with long hair, the smoky, shadowy form of Lily Potter blossomed from the end of Voldemort's wand, fell to the ground, and straightened like her husband. She walked close to Harry, looking down at him, and she spoke in the same distant, echoing voice as the others, but quietly, so that Voldemort, his face now livid with fear as his victims prowled around him, could not hear...
"When the connection is broken, we will linger for only moments... but we will give you time... you must get to the Portkey, it will return..." his mother looked at him for a moment, before stepping even closer, Harry noticed the eyes of his father turn... sad... but he gave a firm nod and turned back to voldemort. "Harry, you need to go to grengotts, speak to the goblins and ask for entrance to the blood voult. They will understand, but you cannot tell anyone... not until you have found out... do you understand, Harry?"
In the summer before fifth year, Harry finds out some life changing news as well as goes through a massive change that complicates things and gives Harry a whole new perspective on life.

'Blood runs thicker than water, but both feel the same when your eyes are closed.'
Blood. Love. Guilt. Pain. They blur together in the eyes of a person who thinks that he also should have died in an unfortunate happening.
_______________________________________
Everyone sees Lily Evans- the star everyone adored. The perfect one, the flame, the fire and always the one who stood up for herself and for the girl who always stayed in her shadow.
Margaret Evans
The one who should've died.
The defective one.
The mistake they tried to forget.
They say family is everything but what happens with the person who loses their family. Do they lose their everything.
Margaret Evans though Lily Evans cousin, was a total lookalike of Lily. She had her red hair, a mixture of blue and a hint of green eyes. She could've had the same life like Lily. But the fate isn't same for everyone.
At Hogwarts they called her names.
At home they called her nothing other than Maggie, mags or lovecake, which didn't even fill the place of the faded ones in her heart.
She learnt.
She learnt how to fade away without anyone noticing.
She learnt how to make herself feel the guilt of leaving them .
" No matter what I do. I will always be the girl in the shadows."
