A/N: Sorry this is so short I just wanted to explain what has happened. The chapters will get longer I promise.
Prologue
Lily Potter was sitting on the sofa in her living room watching her two year old twins playing by the unlit fireplace. Harry was a dark haired boy; the spiting image of his father. Elizabeth on the other hand, had golden blonde locks and didn't really look like either her parents or her brother. Harry was a highly sensitive child often given to moodiness. When Harry got into these sullen moods, only Elizabeth could talk to him. She was one of those children who always smiled, was always happy and she was even more stubborn than Harry. Both were devoted to each other and were inseparable. Elizabeth had a delicate and fragile appearance but was very protective of those she cared about, especially Harry even at this early stage. She was the most loyal child ever seen by her parents and their friends and everyone knew that once little Elizabeth loved you, she loved you for life. Both Harry and Elizabeth had inherited James' love of pranks and often got in trouble but Harry always protected Elizabeth, often placing himself in front of her when they were getting yelled at. When Elizabeth was hurt or upset the only one who could completely comfort her was Harry and many who met these young Potter twins envied the close bond these two children had.
At this moment in time, the two were sitting on the floor whispering to each other, one looking up every so often to see if their mum was watching them.
"They're up to something" Lily said to her husband, who had just entered the room.
"They'll make great maurders some day" he said grinning proudly
Lily just smiled indulgently at him when suddenly Elizabeth started to cry. At the same time the house grew colder.
"He's here! He's found us!" Lily panicked.
"Take the twins upstairs now. Floo to your sister's house now, just like we planned. I'll hold him off for as long as I can"
"James!"
"Lily, go now!"
Lily ran up the stairs with one twin under each arm. She ran to the fireplace in her bedroom. She threw the floo powder into the fireplace and set the still crying Elizabeth into the green flames. Lily yelled "Joyce Summers house" and little Elizabeth disappeared. Just before Lily and Harry were about to stand in the fireplace to leave for her younger sister's house, Lord Voldemort stepped into the room. He killed Lily when she wouldn't get out of his way but when he tried to kill Harry the curse somehow bounced off Harry and hit Lord Voldemort instead.
When Hagrid arrived a few hours later he only found Harry sitting by his dead mother, crying for his Ellie. He took Harry to Dumbledore on the giant motorbike given to him by Sirius. Dumbledore, McGonnegall and Hagrid came to the conclusion that even though he body was not found, she was also killed by Lord Voldemort. After they left young Harry on the doorstep of number 4 Privot Drive the returned to Godric's Hollow to collect the bodies of their fallen friends. They never found or looked beyond Godric's Hollow for Elizabeth but a small gravestone was placed beside her parents' graves. Joyce attended the funeral but never let slip that she had Elizabeth. She vowed to bring up Elizabeth as her own little girl; away from the magic that had killed her favourite sister and brother-in-law. She re-named Elizabeth Buffy and moved to Los Angeles, cutting all ties with her older sister Petunia, with whom she never agreed with. Harry and Elizabeth, due to both their young age as well as their traumatic experiences, erased all memories of each other from their minds. Both however, always felt that they had a piece missing from themselves and wished for something to fill the void each other's disappearance had left inside their hearts.
