Between Magic and Muggle Summary
What happens when Lily Evans has a younger half-sister who knows about magic her entire life?
After Violet Evans dies shortly after giving birth to Lily, Daniel Evans eventually finds love again with Ashley Abbott, a kind-hearted Hufflepuff witch from a respected pure-blood family. Together, they create a family where magic and the Muggle world exist side by side.
Their youngest daughter, Samantha, grows up knowing both worlds.
Unlike many witches and wizards, Samantha never sees magic as something that makes her better than her Muggle family. She loves her father, her Hufflepuff mother, and her two sisters equally. She is especially close to Petunia, accepting her without ever treating her lack of magic as a flaw.
But Lily sees things differently.
As Lily discovers her own magical abilities and begins drifting away from the family, resentment slowly takes root. Samantha has always known the world Lily had to discover on her own. Worse, Samantha sees something Lily refuses to acknowledge about her closest friend, Severus Snape.
Then Samantha arrives at Hogwarts and is sorted into Ravenclaw.
There, she catches the attention of someone she never expected to care about: James Potter.
James is loud, arrogant, reckless, and completely convinced that his usual charm will win Samantha over.
It doesn't.
For the first time, James Potter meets a girl who isn't impressed by him at all.
If he wants Samantha's respect, he'll have to earn it.
And while James begins the difficult journey from arrogant boy to the man he wants to become, Lily is forced to confront something even harder:
Sometimes the person we envy most is the person who never tries to compete with us at all.
A story of family, magic, sisterhood, growing up, and finding a place between two worlds.
I do not own Harry Potter or any of its characters. They belong to JK Rowling, I'm only borrowing them.
