Author's Note:

Hi so this is my first fic so please bear with me cuz I'm sort of new at all this! My plan for now is to update this at least once a week but we'll see how it goes, could be more than that or less!

Summary: What if Lily Evans was not the youngest Evans sister? What if Primrose Evans was thrown into the mix? How drastically would the Harry Potter stories change? Read on to find out...

AU from start

Chapter 1, Background Information

Lily Evans has not one but two sisters: Petunia Evans, uptight, snobbish, jealous and 3 years her senior and Primrose (Rose for short) Evans, kind, loyal, fiery tempered and 3 years younger. Rose and Lily are as close as sisters can be, despite Rose being a Muggle. As children they shared everything from their bedroom to all their secrets. So when Lily discovered she was a witch it was no surprise that Rose and Lily spent hours chatting about what the Wizarding World would be like. They went shopping in Diagon Alley together with their parents for Lily's first wand and constantly wrote to each other while Lily was at Hogwarts, using Lily's owl Pearl. As Lily progressed through Hogwarts and learnt more about the Wizarding World she shared everything with her sister, so much that Rose could have gotten Os in all her OWLs and NEWTs (forgetting about the practical of course!) Rose heard everything from Lily, about the articles in the Wizarding paper the Daily Prophet, the newest hair and makeup charms from Teen Witch Weekly (which Lily promised to try on Rose as soon as she could do magic outside of school) and all about those boys who called themselves 'The Marauders' and the stupid pranks they pulled. She laughed out loud when she read Lily's letter explaining when she'd told "that idiot Potter" that she'd "rather date the giant squid than him", and she heard about how Potter's partner-in-crime Black had broken the heart of nearly every girl in the school, aside from sensible Lily, of course. Rose comforted Lily when Petunia was jealous and horrid towards Lily, all because she wasn't a witch, and likewise Lily comforted Rose, when she didn't receive an acceptance letter to Hogwarts. But nothing could break the relationship between the two sisters, not even when Lily got married (to "that idiot Potter" which Rose never let her live down), not when Lily became the proud mother to Harry James Potter, not even when the Potters were forced into hiding because of that damned 'Voldemort'. But on the night of 31st October 1981 something changed. For the first time ever, in the 10 years since she'd known she was a witch, Lily didn't respond within the day to the owl Rose had sent her. As Lily was stuck in hiding and always responded within 6 hours, Rose knew that something was up, and she was determined to find out what...

By the way, just a quick disclaimer: nothing but my Primrose Evans and this story idea is mine, the rest belongs to JKR
