Disclaimer: I don't own absolutely nothing. Just the story. Nuff said.

Hello there, this is my VERY first Harry Potter ff. Woot. I wanted to give it a shot after reading some ffs. I actually had the same storyline for a different ff but, it's a bit different. Well here it goes.

Prologue

"Father, no. Please" Draco was pleading. He began breathing heavily in desperation. He tried to taking his father's wand. But it was no use, his strength did not compare to the older version of himself.

"Get off of me Draco" Lucius yelled before forcefully pushing Draco away, causing him to stumble and fall. His father had his wand pointed at the girl that was on the floor, to scared to move or even breathe. Her look matched Draco's.

"You know better than to disobey me Draco." Lucuis said, his word hitting Draco. All his life he had been told to obey and to hate. The one time he wanted to be free from his father's rules, this had to happen.

"How long has it been going on?"
Draco remained silent.

"Answer me!" Lucius yelled.

"A year and seven months" Draco said, his voice was shaky and filled with fright.

"You have been with his mud blood for a year and half?" His father's voice was now filled with rage. He grabbed Draco's hair and pulled him near the girl that was laying on the ground, scars and bruises on her face, blood was coming out of her left leg, and it seemed to painful to move. Draco looked deep into her eyes and touched her face softly. He begged the tears from his eyes not to fall as he looked at the girl he loved.

"Filthy. Draco get up. Look at you, you make us Malfoys' look weak. You have disobeyed me in the worst possible way. You know we do not love or show motion, especially to those worthless and pathetic mud bloods. What are you doing? Trying to dirty the pureness that runs in our veins?" Draco did not get up; he whispered lovely things to the girl. Trying to get her to smile. She was beyond terrified.

"GET UP" Lucius grabbed his son and made him stand next to him. "This shall be the last time you disobey me Draco"

Draco felt his father's grip tighter on him. He quickly tried to run over to her, but it failed, Lucius pulled Draco back and aimed his wand at the girl.

"Adava Kedavra" Lucius yelled. Draco yelled. Desperately trying to go shield her, but it was no use. Draco heard the girl shriek before her body limped.

Lucius released his grip on Draco.

"These are the consequences for not obeying me. Get off of that piece of trash and let's go"

Draco had ran over to the girl, tears stained his pain face. She was gone. The one he loved was now lying on the ground, dead. His heart that had been warmed by her love was now braking. He was unable to stand or move. He had just seen her die.

"DRACO!" Lucius roughly grabbed Draco, pulling him away and dragging him through the woods and into the car.

That's when Draco had seen Hermione Granger, the girl he loved, die.

Jump to 6 years later. Draco had put on his black slacks and was ready for another day. The charming -now 24 years old- man had gotten the entire Malfoy fortune and was running one of the most successful businesses in the wizarding world. He couldn't complain. He had everything he needed to have the best life. Except for one thing. He had made a pensieve about that horrific memory. The first year after the tragedy, Draco looked at it everyday, thinking about what he could've changed about it, trying to figure out what would've made a difference, what he could've changed so that Hermione could be right beside him, laying her head against his chest and asking him what their child should be named.

As the second year came around, Draco decided to put the pensieve somewhere safe, so that he couldn't look at it. He had managed to keep it away for a year now.

Though he would have restless nights, dreams, thoughts, and flashbacks of her, he would not look at her last day. He vowed not to look at it. He did not want to live in the past, even though the past was his life. He swore to move on. But who can move on after having someone like her enter into your life and exit in the horrific way that she did.

Jump back to the day that she was pronounced dead. One year after graduating Hogwarts, classmates were reunited once again to mourn the death. People that barely knew Hermione saying that she was a good person and telling unimportant things as if they knew her for a lifetime. Draco was hidden in the shadows. He could not have anybody seeing him there, knowing that they would feel sympathy for him and pity him. He didn't need that. He needed her.

The casket was closed. He saw a couple of Slytherin's there. Harry cried for his friend, swearing that he would find and destroy the one that had killed her. If only Draco was able to do that himself. Ron was crying as well. His once girlfriend and best friend was gone. He was just as furious as Harry. He turned to look around. Draco tensed up when he noticed Ron looking his way. Shit. Draco whispered.

"What are YOU doing here?" Ron yelled, grabbing everyone's attention and looking at Ron, who stomped his way. He grabbed Draco and pushed him against the wall. Wondering why Draco had not fought back.

"YOU DID THIS TO HER!" Ron accused. Everyone soon turned to look at Ron and Draco. "YOU! MURDERER"

Draco felt the sharpness in the words, he felt like a murderer, for being there and not saying a word. For witnessing it and not killing his father in the car. He couldn't let Weasley out of all people see him cry. But the fury that Draco had in his eyes had soon turned into pain as he felt tears fall out of his eyes,

Ron let go of Draco, confused.

"LET HIM GO" a female voice yelled running over. Ron turned and saw his sister, Ginny. She went over and tried to embrace Draco, who was one the floor, sobbing. He pushed her away.

"Ginny? Malfoy? Can someone explain?" Ron said

"Don't touch me. I don't need your bloody sympathy" Draco said, getting up and running off.

"DRACO" Ginny called after him, but he was gone.

"Ginny what the fuck is going on?"

Ginny turned to look at her brother. "Draco was going out with Hermione. They were in love"

Jump to Draco getting up from his bed and looking for his coat.

"Letters for Master Malfoy" the house elf said

"Thank you" Draco grabbed his mail, skimming the piece of paper. It was from Ron and Harry, who said that they were getting a get together to surprise Blaise with a bachelor party. Hoping that he would come. Draco walked over to his study and quickly rote a letter to respond, saying that he would be glad to join.

Draco befriended the two. They now had something in common, they missed the same person. He also was close to their families since he no longer had family of his own. Voldemort had been defeated by Harry and Ron, with some help of Draco, making them a trio, sort of. His mother had passed a while ago. He loved his mother deeply, she was the second women that he truly cared and loved to die. What horrible luck. His father was locked up somewhere after they found him trying to kill another. He hated his father, loathed him to the bone. He wished he was dead. He wanted the bastard to be gone.

Draco looked at the rest of his mail, letter from the Ministry and a magazine attached to a note.

Eligible Bachelor my ass. You're mine

-xo Lacey

Ps. don't forget we have a date at three thirty

Love.

Draco smiled at the piece of paper and looked at the magazine. He laughed finally realizing what she meant.

Draco Malfoy

Wizarding World's Number One Eligible Bachelor

It seems that this Slytherin has his way with the ladies. Now with one of the biggest and most successful businesses in history, this 24 year old is smoking hot, and single. He was spotted at V3 nightclub the other night with Miss Lacey Rivers. Confirmed that they are just friends, Mr. Malfoy is available. After the tragedy that occurred 6 years back, it seems that Draco is rising up and living again. No fighting ladies.

Draco threw the magazine down. They just had to mention that. Fuckers.

"See you later" Draco said respectfully to the house elf.
"Have a good afternoon, Master Malfoy"

"I'll be home late, make sure you have water boiling when I get home"
"Hobble will sir" the house elf said.

Draco smiled at the house elf that had left the room; he had respected the house elves because he knew that was what Hermione would've loved to see, house elves being respected. He looked at his watched and read '3:54'. He was late. He grabbed the floo powder and yelled the address of Lacey's house.

Lacey had been waiting for Draco impatiently. She heard footsteps that came out of the living room. she ran down and jumped into Draco's arms.

"Hey, you. I didn't know if you going to come"

"Oh c'mon, it's only half an hour late" Draco said, kissing Lacey on her lip.

Jump to the day Draco had seen the brunette in a fashion show that he had to go to due to business. She was a model, and was completely drawn to Draco. As she caught him while she was walking the catwalk, she had purposely fallen so that she fell on top of Draco.

"Merlin, I'm so sorry" She acted embarrassed. Draco laughed.

"What's your name?"

"Lacey Rivers."

"Draco Malfoy"

She smiled. He knew that she fancied him. He knew that she had fallen purposely on him. She was stunning really. They hit it off quickly and went on more dates. They had been going out for about 9 months. They never said anything to the media except that they were really good friends. They never saw them together in public, therefore there was no proof that they were lying.

"So, the eligible bachelor huh?" Lacey said as she walked out and grabbed a glass of wine, handing it over to Draco and then getting one for herself. She sat down on the couch that Draco had been sitting on. She smiled as he laughed.

"Well not for long" He said.

"Why not?" Lacey asked curiously. Not sure which was it was going to turn out.

"Because I think that we should announce it publicly"

"Are you serious?" Lacey said, ecstatically.

"Yes" Draco said as he leaned in and kissed her neck.

Her smile grew and she pulled him closer to him. Kissing him and slowly sinking into the couch.

Jump far back

Hermione had slapped Draco, for kissing her. He laughed.

"You know you were equally tempted"

"I was not"

"Don't lie to yourself. Your lips are burning to feel-" he stopped mid sentence to kiss her again. "That again"

She couldn't help but break into a small smile. "Why do you torture me this way? Why? I don't find any of this hilarious. It's horrible to sink this low to joke around with my emotions"

"Who says I'm joking?"

Hermione sits up and looks at him. "What?"

"I like you." He said uncomfortably. He leaned in and kissed her again. This time getting a response, they sank into the bed as he kissed her.

Lacey pulled away when Draco's phone began to ring, before throwing it to the side, he decided to see who it was. It said 'Z. Blaise"

"I have to take this"

Lacey understood as she pulled her shirt back into place. She walked out into the kitchen.

"Blaise"
"Draco, my man. Ron said he was having a get together. Honestly, tell me the truth, he's giving me a bachelor party isn't he?"
"What?"

"Don't act stupid. Yes or no?"
"I honestly don't know" Draco said. "Look, I'll meet you at your place and we'll go over. He's probably having one of his Qudditch parties."

"Heh" Blaise grunted sounding unconvinced. "Alright, just floo over"

"Lace' I have to go. There's a party being thrown for Blaise. I'll call later" He said as he called out.

Before Lacey could say anything, he had already left.
