OK I've decided to restart this story I've been putting it off for too long. reading back on it I often left large gaps in it which I think I need to fill which should help in fleshing it out a fair bit. so I am glad to say that the Hiatus on Not all Malfoys are bad (or Namab) has been lifted and I am happy to get started on it again.

Chapter one: Aquila Malfoy

the sun rose on another day in Wiltshire, England the light from said sun leaked through the window and hit the eyes of one Aquila Malfoy who sat up being awoken from her slumber. looking around her room which was now dimly lit thanks to the morning sun Aquila decided to get up, she never was one to sleep in after all. after making her bed and getting changed for the day she left the room to get some breakfast. Aquila knew she was the only one up she always was the first up she didn't bother to go and wake her family they wouldn't appreciate it. Aquila was born on the 5th of June a few minutes after her brother Draco. she somewhat resembled her mother just as Draco resembled Lucius though she had the standout Malfoy platinum blonde hair almost white hair. the one significant feature Aquila had was that she had heterochromia which meant her eyes were each a different colour one being grey the other blue. her father Lucius avoided speaking to her whenever possible, Narcissa her mother was somewhat better she was usually decent enough to greet her in the mornings and such but not much more than that. then there was her twin brother Draco he certainly took after Lucius but with one key difference he loathed her and loved to insult her whenever possible. why was it that Aquila's family hated her? to put it simply she was a blood traitor.

Being born to the Malfoy family Aquila was expected to be just like the rest of her family believing that all non-purebloods were beneath them. one of Lucius' favourite insults is that from the minute she could walk and talk she was off she never ordered any of the so called lesser citizens around. she was never allowed to be around when the family would have gatherings with other pureblood families like the Flints or Parkinsons though she didn't mind not being around people like that was a blessing in her opinion. Aquila usually spent any time she had in the Malfoy's library where she read the many books her family possessed though she strictly avoided the ones on the dark arts. all this being said Aquila still hated that she was essentially hated by her family after all family was family and she loved them. she eventually reached the large table and sat down not five minutes later a small figure was bringing her a large platter of food for her.

"Dobby brings mistress Malfoy her breakfast" the now identified Dobby said placing the platter on the table. while Aquila was loathed and ignored by her family the elves the Malfoy's owned loved her she was kind and never shouted or demanded anything outrageous of them.

Aquila smiled softly and patted dobby on the head "thanks Dobby" she said quietly and began eating food slowly. while she ate she looked around the still deserted room the one thing that continuously caught her eye was the large Malfoy crest sitting on the wall behind the head of the table. on it were the words that Aquila hated above all else 'sanctimonia Vincet Semper' this was the motto of her family, when translated it meant 'purity will always conquer', when she first learned this it made her roll her eyes. Her family was so gung ho for blood purity but she was well aware that they once mingled with Muggles before the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy in 1692. overall her family were complete hypocrites.

it wouldn't be another hour before another person awoke that person being Aquila's mother who didn't seem at all surprised that her daughter was sitting at the table, breakfast finished "Aquila" she nodded gently taking her own seat. this was the common greeting she got not a good morning hug or kiss that she once got years ago no she couldn't remember the last time she was kissed by her mother or father.

"mother" Aquila replied, after another ten minutes of silence an owl landed on the windowsill two distinct grey envelopes sure enough Draco and Aquila's Hogwarts letters had arrived for the first time taking her own Aquila read it while she nibbled on a piece of toast. "mother" Narcissa looked up "I will be spending my day shopping for my Hogwarts supplies if that is alright with you" she quietly said.

"fine you should have enough money saved up to buy everything though if you need you may use our vault at Gringotts" Narcissa said not sounding at all interested.

sighing Aquila walked off towards the room in the manor specifically designated for flooing on her way Draco was walking down to join his mother at the table when the siblings passed on another Draco took the opportunity to shove all his weight into Aquila's shoulder which quickly put her onto her back. "woops didn't see you there sis" Draco said smugly.

"no doubt" she replied getting to her feet.

"can't blame me blood traitors like you don't deserve to be seen" he said walking off not caring that his words dug deep.

Aquila continued walking not even bothering to go and inform her father about her plans for two reasons Narcissa would tell him if he asked and secondly he wouldn't care. soon she reached a room filled with many fireplaces patting her pockets to make sure she had her money she took a handful of powder and walked into a fireplace "Diagon alley" she shouted and she was gone within seconds in a small explosion of green flames.

(Diagon Alley)

walking out of the fireplace that she landed in Aquila found herself in the Leaky Cauldron it was buzzing with many a Witch and Wizard taking a chance to have a quick snack. Aquila didn't linger and was soon in Diagon alley. the first thing she decided to do was get her clothes for school so she walked into a store named Madam Malkin's the large display of robes was a good guess that this would be an appropriate choice. walking in it was empty though a small Witch was behind the counter and looked up when the bell on the door rung. "my a customer" she said walking over to Aquila "let me guess Hogwarts?" the nod from the now put out girl was all she needed at Aquila was being pulled to a fitting room where many magically floating tape measures were measuring every conceivable part of Aquila's body. Malkin herself was getting different sized robes and other items listed on her list "Ok dear let's get you uniform" she said and started throwing robes on Aquila before removing them soon after if they were to big or small "say where are your parents surely they would like to be here with you after all this is a rather significant moment for a witch shopping for her first year at Hogwarts" Malkin asked kindly.

Aquila looked away "oh well they are busy I don't mind really" she said the last part quietly "but I've always been someone used to being on my own" she continued hoping that Malkin wouldn't continue with her questions.

"I see well I'm not one to judge" she said finally getting the perfect size robes for Aquila "now dear what's your name so I can sew them on?" she asked smiling.

"Aquila" she said hoping she didn't have to say her last name.

"and your last name?" Malkin asked jotting down her first name.

sighing she took a deep breath "Malfoy" she said getting a small gasp from Madam Malkin that was one thing she hated about her name. since her family were famous for all the wrong reasons people had preconceived opinions on the entire Malfoy family and such Aquila herself.

"oh I see well miss Malfoy I'll be done with your robes as soon as possible please come back whenever you wish" Madam Malkin said Aquila nodded sighing at the woman's sudden change in personality.

her next step was Flourish and Blotts where she intended to buy all of her school books looking down at her list she walked to the table of the store and politely coughed to get an employee's attention who turned and smiled bending down a little. "can I help you miss?" he asked

"yes I need all of these" she said passing the list to him the man reading over the list nodded and quickly conjured a piece of paper and a quill

"well I can't get them for you but you can find them here" the man said passing her list back along with a small piece of paper with directions where each book could be found.

"thank you sir" Aquila said and started her hunt for her first book.

by the time she was on her last book (a beginner's guide to transfiguration) it was lunch time. the directions she got were while appreciated rather vague and caused her to get lost more than once. Aquila couldn't help but blush a little she knew that she was horrible with directions and that was the most likely reason she got lost. finally when she spotted the book she was looking for she sighed in relief but there was only one small problem she couldn't reach the book it was on the very top shelf and being slightly short for her age didn't help. she was determent however and she got on the tips of her toes however this wasn't enough to get the book off the shelf that was until a large hand came from behind her and took one of the books from the shelf "need help?" the man's voice asked her.

turning Aquila was red after realizing someone saw her acting rather embarrassing "thank you sir" she said looking at the man who helped her. he was rather tall wore glasses however the most notable feature was the red hair he possessed though it was starting to thin. she narrowed her eyes believing she had seen him before.

she didn't need to think long since the man all but said it for her "wait I've seen you before at a ministry charity event you're Lucius' daughter aren't you?" he asked passing the book down to her.

"yes I am and If I am correct you are Mr. Weasley?" she asked back

Arthur nodded "yes that would be me now tell me where's Lucius?" he asked his eyes showing that her father wasn't his favourite topic.

"oh well Father and Mother are home I came here by myself" Aquila said feeling uncomfortable under Arthurs glare "I'm sorry If he did anything to you" she said quickly.

Arthur was in one word surprised at the girls sudden apology "oh well it's nothing really" Arthur turned and left the store confused about the girl she seemed honestly apologetic about her father's actions though he didn't expect a Malfoy to say sorry ever he thought they believed themselves better than everyone that they didn't need to apologize to anyone. "Maybe the Malfoys have a golden egg among them huh?" Arthur said well out of earshot from the girl.

Aquila looked a little relieved she had heard many things about Arthur Weasley from his father though they were never good. from what she knew he was like her a blood traitor and his job had something to do with Muggles. from what she just experienced he seemed ok though she imagined that once he found out she was a Malfoy he was much more suspicious of her.

lunch had been Aquila's next priority so she returned to the leaky caldron where she got a quick meal as she looked over her list to see what she didn't have. double checking the only thing she didn't have was a wand and her optional pet when she saw the no broomsticks for first years she huffed a little but accepted it and it was only a year she was sure she could manage. she didn't think about it before but she left (in her opinion) the best two things for last everyone couldn't wait for their wands and she had always wanted a pet her parents never allowed saying she could get one for Hogwarts and today was the day she got her very own pet she let out a little mini squeal of delight at the prospect. she knew what animal she was going to get for years a cat not that owls weren't cool but the Malfoy's had one already and toads well she wasn't fond of toads so that left a cat and she thought they were cute anyway.

once finished with her lunch Aquila walked to the famous wand shop Ollivanders she walked in and the atmosphere in the room was very much apparent this was multiplied by the fact there was no one seeming in the shop other than her. that was until from out of nowhere a old man walked from between one of the many shelves of wands. "how may I help you young one?" he asked.

"oh well my name is Aquila Malfoy and I'm here for my wand" she said the man nodded.

"yes you would be my name is Garrick Ollivander I remember your parents Lucius he never came to get one continued the tradition of taking the family wand correct?" he asked Aquila nodded "never liked that tradition but to each their own I suppose" he said taking a tape measure "your wand arm?" he asked Aquila held up her left arm Ollivander nodded and started to measure each of her fingers "your mother Narcissa her wand I loved short though only 8" made of Pine with a unicorn hair centre" he continued while walking into a shelf and pulling out a wand "try this one" he said passing the wand to her.

Aquila nodded and took the wand it didn't give off much of anything rather it just felt like a hunk of wood which she assumed wasn't what it was supposed to feel like. so she flicked it and to her surprise the glass of one of the windows smashed ringing through the store "I'm so sorry" she said placing the wand down Ollivander waved away her apology.

"no need to worry" he pulled his own wand out "reparo" he muttered and the window fixed itself "happens all the time" he laughed returning to look for a wand. Next was a short wand "this is similar to your mothers wand the last one was to sensitive to your magic maybe one like your mothers is better?" Ollivander spoke though Aquila believed it was to himself more than her.

flicking the wand the opposite happened this time nothing happened she tried again and once again nothing "I don't think this is right" she said looking at the short pink wand.

Ollivander nodded his head "no it's not right you are tricky usually I get it in two hmmm maybe that one? it would be unusual though" he said once again in that obvious talking to himself way he was gone in an instant and returned just as quick and held a rather ornate wand to her it unlike most wands had a carved leaf pattern on it "14 inches, Hazel with a rather unusual core a Kneazles whisker"

Aquila felt a warm feeling as soon as it touched her fingertips just to prove it she flicked the wand and the objects in the room floated for a moment before gently sitting back down "I love it" she said looking at her wand.

"interesting a wand made of the so called weakest core picks you?" Ollivander stated

"weakest core? what do you mean sir?" Aquila inquired holding her wand and digging through her pockets to pay the 7 galleon price.

"some say wands with a Kneazle whisker core create weaker wands it's preposterous a wand is not powerful by its core it's powerful by its owner" He said taking her money and smiling "thank you miss Malfoy I hope you do great things with that wand" Ollivander paused again "I should warn you though that wand it's not one to be used for dark magic keep it out of the hands of your family" he said ominously

Aquila left the sentence Ollivander said ringing though her head though she shook her head and soon a smile grew on her face 'my own wand MY WAND' she continued to think in her head holding the wand against her chest until she finally pocketed it. the day was starting to end but she had one final stop and that was to get her cat. she almost skipped the entire way to Magical menagerie. the store was cramped every inch of the store had a cage holding something walking deeper into the store until she found what she was looking for the cat section. she had never been around so many cute things before looking around she noticed many of the cats ignored her well that was until a meow caught her attention. walking towards it she found the source it was a small black Kneazle the most distinguishing feature was its eyes which like her's were blue and grey respectively. "excuse me sir how much is this kneazle kitten?" she asked the store clerk walked to Aquila and looked at said cat.

"hmmm he's a Pure Kneazle so they can be dangerous but he seems to have taken a liking to you so you should be fine but you have to make sure you are careful with him around other ok?" Aquila nodded "ok 10 galleons" digging through her money pouch she dug the last of her savings until she was left down to her last galleon "very well miss enjoy your little bundle of joy" he chuckled and gave Aquila a cage so she could floo home without risking losing him.

(Diagon Alley floo station)

Aquila sighed and entered a fireplace "Malfoy Manor" she said her voice showing how much she wasn't looking forward to returning the last thing she saw was green fire covering her and the familiar feeling of being sucked away. not a second later she was standing in the same fireplace as she had left the manor in. "I'm home" she muttered the silence she received was expected she walked into the dining room to find her family already eating dinner "Mother Father I'm home" she said again" Lucius seemed to find this moment to take a large bite of his food Narcissa looked at her and nodded motioning her to sit she took the offer. she was soon given her own serve of the meal the meal continued in silence.

unexpectedly Lucius was the next to speak "your mother informed me you got all your Hogwarts equipment tell me your wand? what is it made of?" he asked giving her a look of expectance.

"Hazel and Kneazle whisker core" she said simply Lucius did not seem pleased

"you have a wand made of the weakerst wand core do you wake every morning with a new way to disappointing me?" Lucius asked close to snapping.

"that's right" Aquila said continuing her meal ignoring her father's rage

"I have no words and I see you have indeed bought a cat?" he said motioning to the cage by her feet "it is to be confined to your room understood"

"yes father" Aquila stood "I'm done good night" she said taking the cage and walking into her room as soon as she was on her bed she opened the cage "come on out boy" she said holding her hand to the kitten. hesitant at first the cat looked outside it's cage before walking out and rubbing itself against Aquila's hand purring "guess I have to name you don't I?" the cat seemed to understand and sat up looking at Aquila expectantly. "let's see patches?" the cat hissed a little "yeah to obvious, Felix?" the cat cocked his head "better but still no" she hummed thinking while she gently pat the cat "you look like the night sky" when she said this it was like a light bulb went off in her head "that's it MIDNIGHT" she said holding the kitten up who meowed in agreement. Making a small pile of blankets she placed Midnight on it "there you go that's your bed for the moment" Midnight seemed to like this and curled up in the makeshift bed.

Aquila took this opportunity to begin her usual before bed routine first she brushed her teeth then took a night long warm shower and then once dry she would get changed into her night gown made of a white silk. finally she would read a book until she fell asleep. tonight just before falling asleep she heard a now familiar meow looking down Midnight seemed to think she would be more comfortable that a pile of blankets. laughing Aquila lifted Midnight onto her stomach who seemed much happier at this prospect. looking at the sleeping Kneazle Aquila couldn't help but smile at the thought of having someone in this house was actual glad to be in her presence even if said presence was a cat. sleep soon came to Aquila and she dreamed of her upcoming time at Hogwarts.
