Shelby's POV

"It pleases me to tell you, you passed all you exams and will be moving on." Professor Dumbledore told me with a smile. I was sitting in his office.

"Thank you." I smiled widely.

"You did exceptionally well in potions. Professor Snape gave you a very hard potion you had never heard of."

"It was common sense really."

"Very good. All your things are packed?"

"Yes."

"You will be going with the Malfoy's for a few weeks until we sort everything out then you will go with Ms. Simmons. I heard the Malfoy's have quite the surprise for you."

"Really?"

"I guess you will find out. Go grab your things then go to Hagrid's and floo."

"Yes sir." I ran to my dorm and grabbed my things, including Athena.

"Have a great summer Shelby." Hagrid beamed down at me.

"I will. You too Hagrid. I'll write you."

"Indeed you will. And remember what I said about not letting the Malfoy's change you."

"Yes Hagrid." I gave him a hug and went into the fireplace.

"Malfoy Manor!" I said clearly.

"Hello Ms. Dumbledore. Glad to have you back." The voice of Lucius Malfoy rang.

"Come on upstairs with me. I have something for you." Narcissa hurried me upstairs before I could say anything.

"What is it?" I asked when we reached our room.

"Well you've never had a proper birthday party so we're having an early celebration for you tomorrow morning. We invited all the Slytherins and some Professors and other important people." She explained.

"Thank you. I really appreciate it." I wanted to ask if Harry, Hermione, and the Weasley's would be coming but I knew better.

"Of course. Now I need you to try on your dress."

"Dress?"

"You can't have a party without a new dress. We bought you one." She went to the closet and pulled out a beautiful black dress with silver design on top.

"Here you are. Go on." She handed it to me. I took my robes off and slipped the dress on. It was about knee length. I looked in the mirror and smiled. I'd never had anything this nice before.

"It looks lovely on you. You'll look fantastic tomorrow with your hair fixed. I've never got to dress up a girl before."

"Thank you again."

"No problem. Let's go show the boys downstairs. You need to practice your dancing as well."

"Dancing? I can't dance." I said.

"You'll learn." She walked downstairs and I followed her.

"Isn't she stunning?" Narcissa asked Draco and Lucius when we entered the sitting room.

"Indeed she is." Lucius said in his usual tone. Draco didn't say anything. He glanced at me then looked away.

"Now, Draco come here." Narcissa commanded. He walked to us.

"You're her dance partner. Go on." She said. He groaned and walked closer to me.

"Put your right hand on her waist. You know." She told him.

"What?!" We both said.

"Yes you're going to learn the right way."  She told us. He hesitantly put his hand on waist and with his other hand took my hand. Lucius turn on slow music.

"1, 2, 3. 1, 2, 3." Narcissa counted out loud.

"Very nice. Unless Shelby finds someone else you will be her partner for the first dance, Draco." Narcissa told him.

"I have to dance with her in front of people?" He snarled. 

"Draco you should be honored to have the first dance."

"In front of my friends?"

"Yes Draco. That's the end of this conversation. It won't kill you."

That night I sat down and pulled out my quill, ink, and parchment. I though about what to write and who to write to first. I decided to write Hermione first.

"Dear Hermione,

      I passed all of my exams! Tomorrow night the Slytherin's are throwing me an early birthday party. I wish you all could come but I doubt they invited anyone outside of Slytherin. I hope we can get together this summer. Maybe Ms. Simmons? Write me soon.

                                                                                                                                                Your friend,

                                                                                                                                    Shelby Dumbledore"

I tied the letter to Athena's leg and let her go. I started on the other letters.

"Dear Harry,

      I passed my exams! I hope you have a great summer. I was thinking maybe you could stay with me at Ms. Simmon's. The Dursley's should be okay with her coming to get you because she lives like a muggle. I'll let you know when. Write me soon.

                                                                                                                                       Your friend,

                                                                                                                                Shelby Dumbledore"

"Dear Ron,

      I passed my exam! Tell your brothers I said hi. I hope you have a great summer. I talked to Harry and Hermione about coming to Ms. Simmons and staying for a week or so and it'd be great if you came too. I know your Father is interested in muggle things. Maybe he could come see all of her things and see how they work. Write me soon.

                                                                                                                                       Your friend,

                                                                                                                               Shelby Dumbledore"

"Dear Ms. Simmons,

      I'm sure you've heard about everything that happened. I passed all my exams so I can move on. I still can't find my adoption papers so we'll have to get more when I come. Would it be okay if I had Harry, Ron, and Hermione over sometime this summer? I'd love to see my friends over the break. I can't wait to see you!

                                                                                                                                    Love,

                                                                                                                         Shelby Dumbledore"

I sealed them all and put them in my desk drawer. I heard a knock at the door.

"Come in." I called. Draco walked in.

"Mother told me to come see if you need anything."

"No. I'm going to bed. Thank you." I told him.

"Your dress was pretty but I wouldn't wear it if I were you."

"Why not?"

"It's too short. You know how the boys in our house are." He said.

"Well then maybe you'll get lucky and not have to dance with me."

"Oh they won't ask to dance with you. They don't think of you that way." 

"I'm still wearing the dress."

"Suit yourself." He shrugged.

"What are you wearing?" I asked him.

"Come on and I'll show you. Mother ordered them." He motioned me to follow him. I followed him to his room. His dress robes were hanging up. (A/N It's just this suit below with a black cape thing)

"I like it.....but I wouldn't wear it if I were you." I said. 

"Why the bloody hell not?!"

"Language. You know how the girls in our house our." I joked.

"Get out of here before I kick you out." He said with a half smile tugging on his lips.

"Draco?"

"Hmm?"

"I'm sorry I'm here ruining the start of your summer."

"As long as you're not staying the whole time it'll be okay."

"So do you really think someone will ask me to dance tomorrow?" I asked excitedly.

"Maybe."

"Goodnight Draco."

"Night Dumbledore."

The next morning Narcissa woke me up early to eat then fix my hair. 

"The guest will come around 5. We're having a big feast. We decided since it's going to be such a nice night we'd have the party outside."

"That'll be nice." 

"Very nice."

It was 5 in the afternoon and I was walking downstairs.

"Absolutely beautiful." Narcissa said. Professor McGonagall, Professor Dumbledore, and Professor Snape were downstairs with Narcissa and Lucius.

"Thank you."

"You look very beautiful my dear." Professor McGonagall told me.

"Your Mother might say you look like you Father but I see a lot of your Grandmother in you. She would be very proud." Professor Dumbledore said.

"Thank you guys."

"You have grown so much in a year." A familar voice said. I looked towards the door and saw Ms. Simmons standing there. She had just walked in.

"Ms. Simmons!" I ran to her and hugged her.

"I couldn't miss this." She hugged me back. 

"I'm glad. How long are you staying?" 

"Just tonight but we all agree you can come home with me tomorrow." She smiled.

"That's great! When Athena got back from delivering Hermione's letter I was going to send yours. I was asking you if my friends could come stay with us some this summer?" I asked hopefully.

"I don't mind if their parent's don't mind."

"Thank you!"

"Your guest are waiting outside. Come on." Narcissa said. I smiled gently and followed her outside.

I walked down the porch steps into the huge lawn. Some people stared at me and some people just kept on talking. 

Draco's POV

"Woah. I'm gonna ask her to dance." Flint said and started to walk to her. I grabbed his arm.

"Mother said I have to do the first dance with her. It'll look better because I'm closer to her height." I said nonchalantly. 

"Fine but after that I am."

"Okay. What do I care if you dance with her?" I snorted. She shyly walked over to me.

"Do I look okay?" She asked me.

"Yeah I guess."

"Beautiful." Flint said.

"Thank you." She blushed.

"Let's get this dance over with." I told her and grabbed her arm. I saw my Mom look at me approvingly nod. A slow classic song played. I slowly put my hand on her waist. 

As soon as the song was over Flint was beside us.

"Can I have this dance?" He asked her.

"Sure." She answered. I stormed off. I went to Crabbe and Goyle by one of the food tables. 

"Disgutsting isn't it." I curled my lip.

"The most disgusting thing I've seen."Goyle agreed.

"It's just not right." I continued.

"Yeah, she should be dancing with you." Crabbe said.

"What? That would be worse!" I shouted.

"I thought that's where this was going." Crabbe said.

"No, this is going no where." I said staring at her.

"Yeah Crabbe, she should be dancing with Potter. They're both weird." Goyle said.

"You big baboons." I sighed.

"Hey Draco, did you notice your tux matches Shelby's dress?" Pansy asked me.

"Silver is a Slytherin color." I told her.

"Yeah but the invitaton said to not wear silver."

"What?"

"Yeah. Your Mother put on there that we'd be escorted out. I think she planned for you two to be the only ones in silver. Ridiculous isn't it? Thinking you'd ever be interested in that thing." She motioned to Shelby, who was still dancing with Flint.

"Yeah, ridiculous."
