HP: Midnight Sun

Draco first met Francis in a third-class compartment on a Muggle train.

That day, Francis wore a white dress. She looked frail, innocent, poor, and beautiful.

As if possessed, Draco walked in and left behind his gold pocket watch fifteen minutes later.

Even after getting off the train, he couldn't help thinking that it would be wonderful if that girl could attend Hogwarts, too.

No matter which house she was sorted into, he could look out for her. After all, she was a beautiful, obedient, fragile little fool.

The day Francis met the gold watch... ah, no, the day she met Draco,

she was so poor she could barely scrape by.

The very first second Draco walked into the compartment,

she noticed the gold watch in his pocket.

After getting the watch, Francis couldn't help thinking:

If she got the chance, she would be happy to be friends with Draco.

After all, he was a handsome, innocent little fool with a head of blond hair.

[An extensive but essential reader's guide!!!]

1. The heroine is half-blood and in Slytherin. Her pairing is Draco. She has an ex, but he doesn't know about it.

2. Happy ending, though the exact direction of the story is still unknown.

3. The heroine is a native of this world. She does not transmigrate, transmigrate into a book, or get reborn. She is European.

4. There are headcanons, OOC moments, and deviations from canon. (Although there may be some OOC moments, the story will not go against the principles of the original work. Dumbledore and the trio will not be bashed, etc.)

5. The "Al Aaraaf" mentioned in the story is a place in Arabian legend, situated between Heaven and Hell. Those who dwell there are spared divine punishment, but do not receive the peace and happiness they believe exist only in Heaven. (This information comes from the editor's note for "Al Aaraaf" on page 64 of The Collected Poems of Edgar Allan Poe, first edition published by Hunan Literature and Art Publishing House in July 2018.)

The Arabian Peninsula is in Asia, but (important note!) [In this story, "Al Aaraaf" is a European country], and everything about it is entirely fictional!!!
