AUTHORS NOTES:

Okay so here are some things that are going to make this a bit au. First of all Harry was born a girl thus Dahlia was created. Lily Evans was a pureblood witch so the Evans are included in the sacred 28. That makes her marriage to James potter even more prestigious and therefore makes them a bigger target to voldemort. Halloween night happened exactly as it did in the books. Petunia is a Squib in this story but sadly she still married Vernon. Lets see also petunia and Vernon and crazy wealthy because they inherited half of the Evans fortune. Also they treated dahlia with respect but they never showed her a great amount of love. Dahlia was raised by nannies and she's enrolled in some expensive exclusive primary school. She's very edcucated and a bit snobby because of the environment she grew up in. THIS DOESNT MEAN SHES EVIL. She's going to be sweet but she's also going to have Lily's temper! She's also going to have her fathers pennant to mischief. Ok so that's some of her background info! I'll be sure to add some more before every chapter!

"I'M A WHAT?" Dahlia Lillian Potter asked as she stared into the amused eyes of an older women she had learned was her future Professor, Professor McGonagall to be exact.

"You're a witch, and from one of the most influential families in all of Great Britain" McGonagall said as if this was the simplest thing in the world.

Dahlia's head was swirling trying to comprehend what she'd just been told.

"I already know I'm from one the most influential families in Britain but what does that have to do with me being a "witch", professor" she arrogantly said trying to show a confident mask in an attempt to hide how utterly confused she was.

McGonagall simply raised an eyebrow and muttered "just like her father"

Dahlia stood up in a blink of an eye and glared at her "Professor" before snapping "I certainly hope you aren't trying to insult my deceased father ma'am"

She said this in such a heated tone that made McGonagalls eyes widened as she whispered "and a temper to match her mother"

McGonagall then quickly shook her head and said "No my dear child, I would never insult your father or mother. It's just that you remind me so much of them. I must admit I was a bit caught off guard."

And remind her of them she did. Dahlia Lillian Potterwas a sight to behold. She was an exact replica of her mother. From her long dark red hair to her porcelain like skin to her almond shaped emerald eyes. She was a gorgeous girl. No one could deny her of her beauty. But it wasn't just her mother.s features she had. She also had her fathers smirk down cold and the same glinting look in her eyes when she was up to something. She had sadly also inherited the same terrible eye sight as her father but an early eye surgery had fixed that. To top it off without even knowing, she was as cocky and confident as her father had been, perhaps even a bit more.

Dahlia quickly took her seat again and smiled sweetly as she replied "my apologies Professor, it's just that my parents are a touchy subject for me"

Mcgonagall nodded and went on to explain several things to the young Potter.

She began with informing her that her Aunt Petunia was a squib from a prominent pureblood family the Evans. She informed her of her mother Lily and how gifted of a witch she was. She talked to her a bit about her dad James and how he came from one of the oldest pureblood family's around, dating back to Godric Griffindor himself. She vaguely informed her of their cause of deaths but not the complete reason. She went on to give her more information about where she was supposed to go to purchase her school
supplies and how to get on the Hogwarts Express.

After giving poor Dahlia all this information she asked her if she had any more questions before she left.

Dahlia narrowed her eyes slightly and asked "Why wasn't I informed of any of this! Why am I barely finding out what I am? I don't know any of the wizards history or their proper etiquette! I'm supposed to be the last heir to one of the most "influential family's" in Britain but I don't know anything besides what I've just been informed!"

McGonagall shifted slightly trying to mask her shock once again at the strong resemblance Dahlia gave of a young Lily Evans.

"You weren't informed because it was the wishes of your Aunt to only be informed once you turned 11. In response to you not knowing the history or proper wizarding etiquette, you can easily buy some books at Diagon Alley and start memorizing all you need to know, Merlin knows with your mother's brain that shouldn't be a problem."

Dahlia gave a stiff nod and said "Thanks for the delightful information. I'll be sure to go get my supplies in 3 days and I'll have everything memorized before week passes. I'll see you on the first day, Professor"

She then kindly smiled,turned and walked out of the living room. But right before she got out of her McGonagalls sight she snapped her fingers and one of her butlers showed McGonagall out.

not too kindly she might add.

As she left all she could think about was how Hogwarts was going to have quiet a shock when they met their golden girl or Girl-Who-Lived.

She was about to take the wizarding world by storm.
