As the wind swirled around Harry's head, he was reminded of the day he had left England, had left his life behind, had left Draco. It was a day similar to this, and the reminder sent a chill down his spine.

Shaking off the memory, Harry made his way to the market to pick up some fruit. Earlier in the week, he had received an owl inviting him to the upcoming wedding of Neville Longbottom and Luna Lovegood. He had been thinking of very little besides England - and Draco - ever since.

His head turned every time he saw a shock of blonde hair, but of course it was never Draco.

The two had never publicly acknowledged their relationship; in fact, unless Draco had told someone, nobody knew about it to this day but them. Not even Hermione and Ron. Especially not Ron.

That all seemed so far away now, and not only the distance. As he thought of Draco and their relationship - if it could be called that - Harry wondered why it was that they hadn't acknowledged it with anyone. After all, in hindsight it truly was the best thing that had happened to Harry, and if he was to be believed, Draco had felt the same way.

That had been three years ago. Harry wondered if Draco still felt the same way. More than likely, he had moved on with his life, and had found someone else. Someone that didn't come with all the baggage that Harry did. The thought made Harry ill.

He had immediately returned the owl with his acceptance, looking forward to wishing his friends well, but now that he had had a few days to think about things, he wasn't sure. How would he face Draco if he saw him with someone else?

As the wind picked up again, it seemed to taunt Harry, reflecting the swirling emotions within him.

Wow! You continue to blow me away! I sooo can't wait for more!

*grins* - Thanks. This was one of the other 'series' I wrote while I was away in Britain. I didn't want to flood LJ with everything at once, so I'm posting one a day. Plus the other series which I started posting today for The Order on 100quills, which isn't Harry/Draco ... although (of course) there's a hint of pre-slash in the subtext.

*runs off to beta*

Can't wait for more of this. Poor Harry!

*squishes Harry*

Next part tomorrow. :o)

Oh, lovely. I love it when you start a new fic, cause you're always so quick with the updates. Brilliant.

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

*chuckles* - yes, well, the rest of it is already written ... I just have to edit & type them up, but part 2 is ready to go. I'll be posting tomorrow.

*sighs* - alas, this is not the case with all my fics. I have two in the works that need my attention, but I've too many other things on the go to continue with them right now. But I will eventually.

For now, it'll be this series, The Order series (gen fic, not H/D, so it's only posted on my LJ and 100quills), and birthday fics that I owe people.

*I'm super busy today, and going away tomorrow for the weekend. I'll leave your comment in my inbox, and will give you specific details when I return. 'Kay?

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

So sorry for the delay on this ... here are the details on how I set up my journal:

Journal - customize journal

Basics tab - choose S2 option

Look & Feel tab - I use "flexible squares" layout

Custom Options / Presentation - I use 80% width, so you can see the picture underneath.

Cust Opt / Colors - I think I just left them as the style dictated.

Cust Opt / Font - same.

Cust Opt / Images - I went to Photobucket, entered "Harry Potter Draco Malfoy" as the search criteria, and chose one I liked for the background image. I chose "repeat" image. "Top-right" for location. "Fixed" scrolling.

Cust Opt / Text - set to whatever you want.

Cust Opt / Sidebar - same.

That's it!
