THE OTHER EVANS (A Marauders Era fanfiction)

'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."
