Author's Note: Hullo everyone! Thank you for reading my first Draco/OC story ever! Lol! The story will start with a short prologue summaring what happened at the end of the 6th book (you know, my dear ol' Dumbly... : '( :sniff: ...not fair) then, the story will follow seven years later, after the end of the war ( you've heard of this kind of setting a few times ) . Well then, I hope you enjoy the prologue and stop by later for the next chapters of this story. Be sure to review : P Tootles!

Summary: "I'm still walking like I'm alive, but inside; I feel nothing...not even my heart beating...I feel hollow...like I was dead..."

NOTE: This story was made before the last Book came out. And even though I knew Snape was a goodie goodie :P I wanted to try the "what if..." part, okay? Also, people who died in the 7th Book are alive:D Now, those are good news! lol!

In the darkness stood a small house that looked deserted. Still, it seemed as though the house felt it's owner could come any time soon, and lighted itself from the shadows that filled the house and its streets. For more than a minute, silence was all you could hear; when suddenly, between the whispers of the wind, a loud "crack" was heard. Inside the house, stood a paralyzed, tall and pale sixteen-year-old boy; whom looked paler than he could ever be.

His face showed fear and shock at the same time, like he couldn't believe what he had witnessed with his own icy cold blue-gray eyes. He was shuddering and covered in cold sweat.

I can't believe he's dead...Professor Dumbledore...dead...and it's all my fault!...All of it...I curse myself for been a Malfoy! Blimey! I even DAMN the day I was BORN!

He paced around the little space that was the common room; seconds later, this time louder; another "crack" was heard. Draco Malfoy turned around to see his now ex-Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher and Head of the House; Draco stared at him with wide eyes and a frighten look.

"What are you looking at!" Snape snapped. "What? You didn't think I could do it?" he said softly.

Draco just looked at him thunderstruck. "I...I...I j-just--"

"Can't believe he's dead? Well, he's dead! and that's for sure, Draco. I can guarantee you, there's no wizard nor witch that could've survived the Deadly Curse..." Snape smiled and in his eyes, Draco could see a fire burning so strong that he couldn't take it and looked away.

Snape chuckled. Draco just turned his back to Snape and stared out the window, the memory replaying itself in his mind.

"Well, as I'm obviously out of Hogwarts, they wouldn't want a Death Eater, or the traitor who killed their Headmaster of course. And as I know very well, they'll be looking for us, but not just now of course; the news of Dumbledore's death has not yet been spread...they perhaps are notifying the Ministry of Magic by now. So, we'll have time to think of a plan...in the mean time...we'll have to hide until the Dark Lord's orders...then, we strike back; I must give the message to your dear mother that you're allright and that you'll be with me hiding..." He said as he sat down and reached for a bottle of wine and drank it all.

Draco turned around and just stared at him...the memory clearly fresh in his insides. And now, staring at Snape...he could not see him as he used to. He tried to push the painful memory out of his mind and tried to think now about his life as an exile...and when this nightmare would come to it's end...now that he thought about it...when did it ever began?

. . .To Be Continued . . .
