Genre - Romance/Drama/Fantasy
Disclaimer - I do not own the Harry Potter, books or films, in anyway shape or form. I only own the plot points surrounding my oc's, not recognized from the books or films. For this chapter I own, Edgar, Matilda and Evelyn Drummond and Carrie and Wilson Macarthy.

Summary - (All seven books, surrounding an Oc.) Evelyn Drummond had always been on the right path in life, wanting to excel in Transfiguration and always do the right, good thing. Then she started Hogwarts and met Draco Malfoy, who just had to shake her world up. Now she's in a long battle between good and evil, right and wrong, Gryffindor and Slytherin... All the while a bigger, darker battle was waiting to get between the two teens.

A/n - I've been playing around with this idea for well over a year now and have finally decided to just go for it. (Since I have nothing to write for my other fics. Damn writers block.)
This fic will basically be all of the books but my OC's story, instead of Harry's. Some things may change from the books in the future but for the most part, I'm thinking I will keep everything as it happens in the books. Obviously, it's a Draco romance story and I could've just stuck my OC in and started as they start to get feelings for each other but I didn't want to. I wanted to show their first meeting, how they wind up becoming close, my OC's feelings being torn between good and evil and how Draco would deal with Voldemort and his father if he was in love with someone from the other side. I couldn't get the feeling across without having their whole story there so that's what I'm doing.
Anyway...Enough rambling from me...

Please read and review, I'd greatly appreciate it. Hope you enjoy, xx (:

The Drummond household was one of the few households that teetered on the line between the muggle world and wizarding world. The family that resided within were not those that held their reputation on their blood status but rathered to associate with people from all walks of life.
Mr Edgar Drummond owned a very successful bookshop in Hogsmeade. He was a tall, lean man with large hands and feet. His wife often commented that he had a piano players fingers. He had dark, brown hair that made his pale blue eyes stand in stark contrast. Mrs Matilda Drummond was a short, slim lady with flaming red hair and almost black eyes. Her husband always complimented the mischevious sparkle that they held. Living with The Dummonds was Mrs Carrie Macarthy, Mrs Drummonds mother. She too had the red hair like her daughter, but with sea green eyes that gave her a friendly aura.
The Drummonds had just one child. Evelyn Carrie Drumond. Short in stature like her mother and long fingered like her father. Her dark hair and dark eyes showed both sides of her heritage and gave her a certain mystery. Of course the mystery was shattered as soon as she befriended you. Always happy and willing to talk about anything. Nothing was a secret with Evelyn.

The Drummonds had had a happy family life for the most part. Despite Wilson Macarthy, Evelyn's Grandfather passing away when she was seven, they'd had no problems in their family life. They had friends in the wizarding world and friends in the muggle world and Edgar and Matilda had managed to stay as far as they could from the war that waged when their daughter was not even a year old.
Yes, that had been a frightening time indeed. A dark, evil and most powerful wizard had threatened the lives of every witch and wizard in the world. He and his terrible followers killed many innocent people, leaving widows and orphans everywhere. Sometimes whole families were destroyed at his wand. Then, on one fateful night, when muggles were dressing in costumes and running from door to door in the hopes of receiving sweets, he met his end. At the hands of an infant no less. Lily and James Potter perished under the unforgivable curses, leaving their son alone. No one knew why or how, but Harry Potter was the cause of the end of the Wizarding war.
The following day was one spent in celebration by many. The Drummonds rejoiced, knowing their one year old daughter, Evelyn, was going to grow up into a safer world, full of magic and wonder. It was the first time in eleven years that their world had had anything to celebrate. And truly celebrate they did. So much so, even the muggle news channels reported it.
Evelyn slept soundly in her cot, chewing on the corner of her purple, fluffy blanket, oblivious to what was happening around her. Her grandmother had dozed off in the rocking chair beside her, finally happy in her dreams. Little did the infant girl know, that in eleven more years, she would be sharing a train with the boy being toasted right that second. Harry Potter, the boy who lived.

A/n - Just a very short, introductory chapter.
Story title is taken from 'Next To Me' by Emeli Sande. The song will come into play further along in the story. It'll start to describe the relationship between Evelyn and Draco eventually. xxx
