[Harry Potter] Sextant

This is a Draco Malfoy fanfiction with an original female lead. She may seem to have powerful backing, but she's really just an empty shell. She stays true to herself and leans toward canon. Some characters' pasts will be changed, but no one will be bashed.

Important notice: I'm rewriting the entire story starting on the 22nd!!! (The original version kept veering further and further off course. I don't know what got into me back then.)

In the end, I want to say that even if hardly anyone reads this or leaves comments, I'll keep going. Receiving letters by owl, learning magic at Hogwarts, watching the Golden Trio and the little Slytherin princess in class, flying on a broomstick to play Quidditch, and living through that turbulent yet utterly magical era are all my dreams.

Is there someone in your heart who occupies your thoughts day and night...

Is there someone who gives you the courage to do what you never dared imagine...

Is there someone you'd risk everything to take one step closer to...

Is there someone you'd give up for, just so they could be happier...

Is there someone who doesn't know how to sweet-talk you, but always tells you, "I'm here"...

There are so many possibilities and uncertainties in this world. Even when we have already seen the future, those possibilities can change it. All we can do is cherish the present, hold the hand of the person beside us, smile at each other, and keep moving forward. We don't need many words. A glance, a smile, a gesture, and we understand each other.

"I have never regretted letting go of your hand back then."

"I have never regretted reaching out to hold your hand back then."

Cast a spell of love and joy throughout the night. (Let the magic of love and joy carry us through the night.)

This story didn't wait for summer to arrive by owl. In August 2005, I met a boy who was like sunshine.

Warnings!

1. The female lead is an original character!!! This story came from my dissatisfaction with the way canon handled Draco's life. She has a golden finger, but it won't be too overpowered. I do care about canon and have a bit of an obsessive need to keep things on track.

2. The author's writing isn't very good, and I'm well aware of that. Feel free to offer suggestions. If you really can't stand it, you can leave.

3. Characters may be OOC!!! If that bothers you, you can leave or offer suggestions.

4. When I started this story, I planned to write a sweet romance, but I can't guarantee how it'll turn out in the end (runs away with a pot lid over my head).

New story in the works: Andrea's Journal

The female lead will still be paired with Draco, but the male lead will be Voldemort!

This is a grand, inspirational workplace promotion saga about a Muggle-born girl with a ridiculously busy inner monologue, who worships Voldemort and wants to become one of the Death Eaters!

(I haven't figured out the blurb or anything yet, but I just felt like putting this out there. I'm that capricious.)

Since Voldemort in this story by Sextant has it a bit rough, I decided to write another story for him.
