Harry yawned, looking at his homework. There was a magical nursery nearby that concentrated on the non-magical aspect of their lives; numbers and letters. Because of this, Dudley was accepted into their midst though they placed him with the smaller class of Squibs. Draco was taught at home by a special teacher for the blind.

Ever since the tea party, Dudley and Draco saw each other in a more positive light. It was hard forgetting what they have been taught but for the last two years they have slowly change for the better. Draco no longer behaved as though he was a prince of a large empire and Dudley slowly changes from a bully into a fierce protector of his brothers.

This was due to the fact that Harry's an almost mute and Draco's blind as bat. Dudley had a hard time because he was a Muggle and even the Squibs children was having a hard time friending him since they were frightened by their magical friends and siblings that being friend with a Muggle will make their weak magic completely gone, but Draco had appealed to them that Dudley was no different and him being a Muggle won't make their 'condition' worse. He had also hinted that maybe they can live a better live in the Mundane World since everyone there can't use magic and that Dudley can teach them the better side of not having magic.

But since Draco sided with Dudley, the magical children change from being indifferent to him due to his status as both orphan and a disable to plain cruelty. They teased and bullied him every chance they get and when he walked with Harry whom they call Mute Harry, Draco felt terrible. This was because Harry had helped him with every dream to 'see' without his eyes while he can't do the same for Harry's condition.

However, once Dudley caught wind of the bullying, he rallied his Squibs friends and protected his best friends. Since then, they regarded each other as brothers. The magical children were still as bad but with Dudley and what they dubbed his gang around, they weren't as brave. But there were some trouble since some of the Squibs were already pariah of their own family and now that they started to show some spine, their magical kin call them nasty names from 'whelp' to 'no good imp' to worse names.

But then Petunia stepped in and decided to make a special club that oversee the needs of the Squibs where they will be given scholarship to learn in the Mundane world and get a job like everyday Muggle. But since she was just one Muggle against a rather close minded society, Albus decided to back her up and sponsored the cause which served as a positive thing. This caused Argus Filch to be rather close to her and helped her children every time they spend a day at Hogwarts. He even plays with them!

One day Minerva had asked her for her reason; why did she want to help the Squibs? Petunia sighed and answered, "Because I am a Muggle in a world of Magic and I can sort of understand what they were going through. I'll be honest and say that I wasn't the nicest sister to Lily ever since she went to Hogwarts…and even before that. But I can understand them their wish to be acknowledged because one way or another I have been there in the shadow, unnoticed. In a way, it was my way of showing that I won't turn my back on Lily's world anymore,"

Minerva smiled, "Well, at least you are learning,"

Petunia shrugged, "To be honest I'm quite tired of being mean, especially when I learned the lesson the hard way with Vernon's fists. Most of my issues came from my jealousy and when I got married, I was so desperate to reconnect with Lily but I have no way of doing so. Not without being hit halfway dead,"

Minerva winced, "Ah yes…a terrible life indeed…you must be heartbroken to learn her dead,"

Petunia sniffed, "I was numb for a whole three months. Perhaps it was a good thing since I broke down the day Vernon had to go on a two day trip out of town for business. I was glad he wasn't there to reprimand me for crying over my 'freak of a sister and her freaky family'. Bad enough that I managed to convince him to let Harry stay," She sobbed, "But when I learn that it was hard being a Muggleborn in a world where blood purity was everything, I felt like the worse failure of a sister. There I was blaming her for taking all our parents' time away from me when I should have known why she liked coming home that first few years and me being a selfish wench doesn't help the situation at home at all,"

Minerva nodded, "Well, I supposed that the both of you have been making bad decisions. Did she ever try to talk to you?"

Petunia nodded glumly, "At first, the first three years she did. She tried to tell me about her wonderful new world but back then I accused her of flaunting the very thing that I can never get,"

Minerva frowned, taking a sip of her tea, "However, how did that translated into helping the Squibs?"

Petunia smiled, fingers playing at the corner of her folded napkin, "Oh, it's because I can see that there are many people helping the Muggleborns but there was hardly anyone bothering to help the Squibs. Living all alone in the magical side makes me feel like a Squib myself!" The two women laughed and shared stories of their own experience on the others part of the world. Minerva confessed of being in love with a Muggle but broke it off in fear of becoming like her mother who threw away her magical heritage to remain with her parish of a father.

She then slyly asked, "Another reason you are jealous of Lily has nothing to do with a certain snarky Potion Master, is it?"

Petunia almost choked on her scones, "What?!"

Minerva grinned like a cat that swallowed the canary, "Oh…I am a woman and I have eyes. Not to mention a few years of being a professor in a school filled with teenage angst and young love and all that drama…" She then sobered, "How long have you pine after him? Every time I saw you look at him, there was this old pain in your eyes,"

Petunia started to reply, to finally tell someone of her secret pain and an old dusty dream almost forgotten but then stopped. How can she confide? What will it do, what can it change? She sighed, "It was a childish thing…" She then smiled bitterly, "He chose Lily anyway. Everyone did in the end…"

Minerva sighed but did not push. She could tell that seeing Severus again opened a whole can of worms that she wasn't ready to face so she conceded with the younger woman's wish and retreated to safer conversation. But somewhere deep she could tell that these two reflected the others just like a broken vanity that it was heart breaking for the old witch with a closet obsession for romance.

Meanwhile the years slipped through their fingers and the boys grew closer with the years passing by. With Petunia's brainchild, the Squibs was having an easier time in both education and career choice. It doesn't matter that the Magical World doesn't need them; the Mundane World was always in need of a willing participant and no one on that side will be the wiser. Due to this, Petunia has a wide range of connection on both sides to ensure that her boys will have a better life.

And because she helped so many Squibs to assimilate into a world where they won't be the 'trash' of society, they were always willing to help her boys. And because of this Dudley managed to get an invitation to a well-established school with almost as much history as Hogwarts.

Meanwhile, Draco was having trouble with his elite past and his family position in the higher society of the Magical World as well as the Purebloods. Since he was living with a Muggle, many regarded him as the black sheep. At first, Petunia had worried that this will bring trouble to the already unfortunate boy's heart but Draco proved to be resilient. He managed to build his own reputation in the elite world at such a young age and believe it or not, he had decided to be just like Petunia only he will be helping the Muggleborns and Half-bloods to integrate easier into the Magical Society. However, he has a long way to go.

At the same time, he had wondered during an evening tea with Albus about establishing a school or a class for the disabled witches and wizards. Albus had wondered about that and Petunia's suggestion about the special class to teach interested students to learn in a class that teaches not only Muggle Study but Magical Study for the Muggleborns. It was a brainchild of both her and Charity. They had hoped that this will encourage better understanding between the two opposite spectrums of students and perhaps helped nurture a better bridge for the two worlds.

However, before Draco could do all that…he has to attend Hogwarts with Harry…

And now, the years fly past and soon it was their eleventh birthday…
