Elowyn Lily Black

This article is about Elowyn Lily Black, from the Harry Potter fanfiction series Legacies.

Elowyn Lily Potter (née Black) (b. 12th August, 1980) is one of the main female protagonists of Legacies. She is the third child and second daughter of parents Arawyn Black (née Weasley) and Sirius Black. She is a Pureblood Witch, and a member of Gryffindor House at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Elowyn is one of an indetical triplet, alongside her sisters Isolde and Millicent. At the beginning of the series, Elowyn and her sisters are labelled the "Daughter's of Murder" by other students at Hogwarts, due to their father being locked away in Azkaban for the alleged betrayal of the Potters and the murder of 12 Muggles. Despite this, Elowyn is still able to make friends in first year, her best friend being Meredith Grindelwald and also best friend and maternal cousin Veronica Weasley.

Elowyn's early life was torn apart with the arrest of her father, when she was merely a year old. And although her mother taught her and her siblings that their father was innocent, and would never betray their friends she couldn't help but resent her father for going away.

Elowyn's first interraction since meeting as children, with her now husband, Harry James Potter was in Book Name chapter two: Hogwarts during the sorting hat ceremony. Where they made eyecontact during her sorting, and she glared at him in response, assuming he was another one of the students whispering and making fun of her. She was sorted into Gryffindor, and later Harry was too. Harry didn't know much about her, other than the rumours ciculating around the school and because of this he avoided her. She later assited Harry, his siblings and his friends in stopping Voldemort from aquiring The Philosopher's Stone, which earned her Harry's trust and friendship.

During Elowyn's second year, she was one of the only people to defend Nerys Riddle, a first year, who was rumoured to be the reincarnation of her sort-of late father Tom Riddle also known as Voldemort. The Chamber of Secrets had opened, and the students started pointing fingers, originally at Harry who had revealed to be a Parselmouth and thought to be the Heir of Slytherin. But soon people turned on another Parselmouth, and daughter of the Dark Lord and Lady Nerys and later Elowyn for defending her. After helping Harry save Ginny Weasley from the Chamber of Secrets, he and Elowyn became closer and even considered each other best friends.

Elowyn's third year at Hogwarts was one of her hardest, due to her father escaping Azkaban the summer before the year started. Elowyn hears her mother on the phone to her brother Arthur Weasley that the Minsitry was aware of Harry using underage magic. Out of fear of Harry being punished and expelled, Elowyn scrapes together whatever muggle money she had lying around and took a coach to Surrey which lasted around an hour. She found Harry sat on the pavement, his luggage beside him. Together they took the Knight Bus to the Leaky Cauldron to meet with the Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge. There Harry's siblings were waiting for him, a joint decision to have them together made by their guardians, Professor Dumbledore and the Minister. The Minister told Elowyn to say goodbye before aparating her back to her mother, who wasn't pleased. After overhearing her uncle talking about the threat that Sirius was to the Potters and his own children, Elowyn falls out with that side of the family, and her mother asks Arthur not to contact her. On the train, Elowyn tries to avoid sitting in the compartment with Harry due to Ron being there, but didn't have much of a choice since everyone else saw her as the freak who's murderer of a father was on the loose. During the train ride, Harry and Elowyn are attacked by Dementors, searching for Sirius, but saved by Remus Lupin, best friend of both their fathers. They were both mostly effected due to Harry's encounter with the Death of his parents, and Elowyn being visited by Dementors when she was a baby and they were searching for her father. Another also attacked Nerys, leaving her unconscious in another compartment. Elowyn grew closer to Harry this year, due to him being one of the only people that didn't see her as a spy for her father.

Not long into her year, Dumbledore informed her and her siblings that their mother had been taken into custody by the Ministry, and that she was suspected of somehow helping their father escape. Dumbledore promised that as long as they remained inside Hogwarts, he would not allow Dementors or the Ministry to take them as they were safe under his care. The bullying progressed when Sirius broke into Hogwarts, and even broke into the Gryffindor Common Room and slashed Ron's curtains. This led Ron to fear his cousin, and although she wasn't talking to him it still upset her that he was afraid of her.

Elowyn is reunited with her father in the Shrieking Shack after dragging Ron and Scabbers into it, revealing the rat to be Peter Pettigrew in disguise. She then discovers that she was right, that her father had been innocent all along and Peter was too blame for the betrayal and the murder of the Muggles. But before she can rejoice, Peter escapes and Remus who is a werewolf begins to turn under the full moon. Severus Snape attempts to protect the children from Remus, but Deatheaters have discovered that Sirius is there and Elowyn and Harry break away to save him. Sirius almost dies in the process, but is saved by a Patronus that Harry believes to belong to his father, later discovering that it had been his own Patronus to save him with the use of the Time Turner. Sirius is once again captured, but with the help of Hermione, Harry and the Time Turner they travel back in time to save Buckbeak, Harry uses the Patronus charm to save Sirius and using Buckbeak they break Sirius out of Azkaban once more.

Although Sirius is once again a fugative, Elowyn's mother is released as they is no proof of her involvement and their family is left alone. Elowyn and her family spend the summer catching up with their father, who is hiding out in Hogsmead until his is later relocated to his childhood home 12 Grimmuald Place by Dumbledore when he makes it the Headquarters for the Order of the Phoenix.
