Guess what. I wrote this whole chapter and it was pretty darn long. Then my phone died... and I lost the whole chapter. That's why it's uploaded late. Sigh.

Info info:

squibs aren't that frowned upon for by purebloods in my story. Specially when they're pure pure like Petunia is! But Lucius still doesn't like her because of it!

The week went by painfully slow. Or at least it did for me but true to my word I read and memorized all the reading materials for my first coming year into Hogwarts.

I was absolutely enthralled by the complexity and mesmerizing theories each subject held. I would eat my own shoe if I didn't end up being top of my class. Surprisingly it was my Aunt who had given me that extra push I needed.

I needed to really commit to my studies, if I wanted to represent my noble family, to the best of my abilities.

My aunt had come in to my room, minutes after we got back from Diagon alley. She had sat on my bed as she watched me unpack and organize all my new books and supplies.

She had told me how much I resembled my mother, not just by appearance but also by the way I acted. She spoke highly of her, of Lily. I was informed how Lily was top of her class. Never making below an O in any given subject. My Aunt told me how no one compared to her and her natural abilities. No one besides my father. They were both top of their class. Battling it out for the top spot. But my Mother always won.

Being informed with all of this really pushed me to be the best of the best. I just had to be. I was my Mothers and Father's daughter. I was Dahlia Lillian Potter, heiress to more gold than anyone could dream of, I was pure in every way, shape and form. Even in blood.

I had taken it upon myself to read every book I could find on my ancestry. I was a bit surprised at the way the wizarding world viewed my family. My Mums side, the Evans, and my Father's side, the Potters, were part of The Sacred Twenty Eight. They were wizarding royalty if she had to admit, which she would.

Nothing except the very best was expected of her. I took the liberty to read up on my Mother and how she been made prefect in her last 2 years of school and Head Girl alongside my Father in their last year at Hogwarts. I swore to myself right then and there that I would follow in their footsteps and make them proud.

To be the best of the best, I would of course have to be knowledgeable. Which I already was in the muggle world. But in the wizarding world it was a different story. If I had to admit I was still a bit lost. But that didn't stop me from memorizing as much as I could. It was a tedious thing but very much necessary in my eyes. I learned all the customs and proper etiquette a young pureblood witch should know. No one would know that I had really learned it all in a week. I would make sure of it.

My Aunt had stepped up once again and had been helping me, quizzing me. With all the knowledge she had learnt from books and some knowledge she had of her own from her olden days. I was truly greatful.

Halfway through the week we received an owl from the Malfoy's. This had upset my Uncle and cousin, but my Aunt had reassured them that they mustn't worry, that this was the new normal for them.

Her aunt had read the letter than passed it on to her with an amused smile on her face.

Dear Petunia and Dahlia,

I hope your week has gone well. Lucius and I have come to an agreement that Friday around noon, would be a perfect time for you both to visit. Petunia you and I could catch over some tea, while Dahlia and Draco could walk the gardens or play some quidditch! Draco has been driving me barmy with the constant questions over Dahlia! I sense a small crush developing on his part. How sweet!

Lucius has taken it upon himself to connect your floor for Friday. Simply say "Malfoy Manor" and we will be awaiting your arrival.

Cannot wait!

Love,

Narcissa Malfoy.

The second I was done reading I could feel my face heat up and I ignored my Aunts quiet laughter.

With all the grace I could muster at that particular moment, I ran to my room, still clutching the card in hand.

Friday came along and I found myself bouncing on my feet with the anticipation of going to the Malfoy's. I was ready to show off all I'd learned. I was also secretly excited to associate myself better with Draco. This quidditch sounded fascinating! I had done some research and it seemed extraordinary. I soso wanted to attempt to fly! And even if I made a fool of myself at least I would know that I had tried.

My Aunt finally arrived after what seemed like an eternity but was really 15 minutes. She looked over my outfit as she did every time I was to go out and gave a firm nod.

I was wearing one of my nicest newest purchase from a boutique in Diagon Alley. I was a tad intrigued that it resembled muggle attire. It was a flowy lilac dress that ended just below my knees. I wore white sandals and a white light cardigan like coat over it.

At exactly noon her Aunt walked to the floo and demonstrated just what to do.

Grab a handful of floo.

Step into the fireplace

Announce your location

And disappear.

Which is exactly what I did.

.

My first thought as she landed in Malfoy Manor was gratitude. Gratitude that somehow I had landed gracefully.

I looked to at my aunt and saw her being greeted warmly by Draco's Mother. I barely caught the look of slight disgust coming from Mr. Malfoy, towards my Aunt.

I narrowed my eyes slightly but got interrupted by none other than Draco.

He smirked at her as he bowed, much like his father had just done towards her Aunt. But unlike his fathers attempt his had looked genuine.

"Good to see you again Potter"

She curtsied back and grinned as she said

"Oh I know from the letter your Mother wrote me"

His cheeks tinged a deep red and she smirked and said

"Point to me"

They were then interrupted by Lucius, he bowed to her and she half curtsied back as he informed them that it was time to run along while the "ladies" caught up. She knew she was still a child but it angered her that she wasn't referred to as a lady.

She turned swiftly and took Draco's arm in a true pureblood manner. As he guided her towards the gardens. She barely heard Lucius whisper

"Temper, tempter. What a catch" to Draco.

Once outside she allowed herself to admire the pure beauty of the Malfoy's Gardens. Draco caught along pretty fast and started making conversation.

"Ready for Hogwarts?"

I took a couple seconds to consider this and answered with

"As ready as I'll ever be. Kind of nervous to meet new people"

"Why would you be nervous? You're Dahlia Potter for Merlin's sake!" Draco said

"It's just a name! I wasn't raised like all of you! I had to teach myself all the proper customs! Oh I know I just won't fit in" Dahlia said as she sat on a bench.

"You'll be fine, I promise. I'll make sure of it" he said as he sat near me.

"How can you be so sure" I whispered looking down at my hands

"Because I'm a Malfoy and we always get what we want" he said arrogantly.

I couldn't stop myself I bursted out laughing, he looked confused but joined in a second later.

He then got up and offered me his arm once more,

"Come on lets go play quidditch"

I took his arm eagerly And followed him out to his pitch.

To say it was breathtaking would be an understatement. It simply left me without words.

"It's gorgeous" I yelled in excitement.

I hear Draco chuckle before he added

"Come on lets go to the shed to grab some brooms"

I happily skipped over to the shed he pointed out. I could tell he was watching me with an amused look on his face but I didn't care. So what if I'm supposed to act proper and superior, I'm still a kid! A kid that's never played quidditch before.

He pulled out two brooms and handed one of them to me. He then shippishly said

"They're not the newest model but Father's holding out on me till next year"

I rolled my eyes and said

"I don't care they're perfect"

He smiled and mounted his and he carefully observed me as I mounted it as well.

I'd read about quidditch so I knew the concept of what to do. I expected to find it a bit more challenging but it came natural to me.

He rose in the air and motioned me over to join him. I rose effortlessly and even I could see the shocked expression on his face. He narrowed his eyes and said

"You've done this before haven't you!"

I scoffed at being accused of such a lie and spat back

"Of course not! It's not my fault I'm gifted in everything I do!"

Ok so I came off extremely cocky but I wasn't just going to stand ok so fly there and take it!

He sneered and said

"Probably just beginners luck. Follow me and try to keep up"

I stayed there stunned surprised by his complete change in character towards me. He'd been nothing but nice and sweet to me since we'd met. For Merlin's sake he had comforted me no less than 10 minutes ago!

I narrowed my eyes at him across the field and tossed my hair behind. No one disrespected me like that. No one. I could tell he was trying to impress me with his speed and little loops he would do in the air.

I barely leaned forward on my broom and I sped up way faster than I anticipated. I know I should of been scared but I wasn't. This felt natural, it was as if my body knew what to do and my broom simply obeyed my every command.

I ended up passing Draco, I could tell he was stunned and this only motivated me more. I did all the loops he demonstrated and even added some of my own.

I turned around and smirked at him while casually raising an eyebrow and yelling

"Did I keep up well enough for you?"

He was embarrased at being showed up by a girl. One who had never even touched a broom before. But he simply laughed and replied,

"Bloody hell! That was incredible Potter! You've got to try out second year!"

I found myself laughing and shaking my head

"Maybe, that would be fun" I said.

He was about to answer something back when I caught sight of Lily down in the pitch. I automatically shot down towards it as fast as I could. I was about 10 feet away when I heard Draco screaming bloody murder or something. I waved him off and closed my hand around the Lily, pulling it out and barely pulling my broom up at the last second.

I then hovered 5 feet above while examining the flower. Not 1 minute passed until something hard slammed into me. I almost flipped off but manuevered myself just enough that I simply moved a couple feet to the left. I turned to find Draco, red faced and panting as if he'd just ran a marathon.

"WHAT'S THE PROBLEM WITH YOU!? YOU COULD OF KNOCKED ME DOWN" I yelled pulling closer to him as he backed away slowly.

"WHAT'S THE PROBLEM WITH ME? WHAT'S THE PROBLEM WITH YOU! GIVING ME A HEART ATTACK AS YOU PLUMMETED TO THE GROUND!" He yelled back.

I backed away instinctively and turned my face away from his so he couldn't see me tearing up. I'd never been yelled at like that before. I usually did the yelling and got a nice simple answer back.

"I didn't mean to frighten you, I just wanted to pick this lily" I said as I showed him the flower in my hand.

He lowered himself down to the ground and I followed him as he stepped off his broom as well.

"I'm sorry for yelling" he mumbled.

If it had been anyone else I just knew I would of stomped away without giving them a second thought. But I just couldn't do that. He was my first wizard friend.

"It's alright, lets go back to your manor it's getting hot" I said

He smiled and once again offered me his arm. I rolled my eyes playfully as I latched on to him one more time and followed him in.

We made small talk about which house we'd get into and I teased him and told him I could picture him in Hufllepuff. He looked outraged before he caught me holding back a giggle. He playfully shoved me and I shoved him back.

That's how my Aunt, Draco's Mum and Draco's Father found us in the gardens. Laughing and messing around. If I had turned around I would of seen the pleased smiles on all their faces, but I didn't.

I caught up with my Aunt right before we left and was surprised when Draco's Mum hugged me as we left. Lucius smiled at me with a fond smile as he bowed.

Draco bowed as well and told me he would write me the last couple weeks before we boarded the train.

I agreed and waved him goodbye as my Aunt and I flooed back home.

IM DONE YAYYY. This took forever to re-write! Tell me what y'all think and leave reviews!

ALSOOOO, still trying to figure out how I want to write this so that's why my writing style has changed a bit from 3rd person P.O.V to just Dahlia's.
