A/N: Okay People! This my 2nd attempt to writing a new Harry Potter story, since the last one was an epic fail, but regardless, I will be rewriting the story to make it better, not for you, but for me. I put my own little spin on this one and I worked really hard on it, but if you're not into it or don't like it, then don't read it. Simple as that. I mean, I tried my best, and really, that's all that matters. No, I have not read the books, and yes, I've seen all the movies, and that's what I'm going off of, that, and other stuff I've researched, so bare with me. I may or may not have gotten some of the dates on point, and they might be all jumbled up, I didn't really feel like adding everything, but you'll get the jist of it, besides that's the joys of writing fanfiction... you can write it how you want. Right? Plus, I also added some new characters as well, and if you know me, then you know there will be some cussing, just a tiny warning. But overall, I hope you enjoy it, as much as I've enjoyed writing it, and don't forget to R&R. Thank you so much, peeps!

**Oh... and before I forget, I changed my pen name from LazySmurf247 to NikkiStevens82. That is all.**

- This story is AU of course and it's a Draco/OC -

Disclaimer: I own NOTHING from Harry Potter, although, can I have, keep, and - or own Draco, and maybe some Severus, and possibly, a bit of Lucius? No? Alright, fine. I just own MY OC's! Thanks!

…Chapter 1: Visiting the Grave…

Five months had passed by since the wizarding world won the war against Voldemort, since his sworn enemy defeated him. Five months since his parents went into hiding indefinitely, so neither of them was sent to Azkaban, even though, it was for the best. Five months since his favorite professor, that he greatly respected, more so than his father, was killed by Nagini.

Draco Malfoy made an attempt to visit Severus' grave, at least once a week. He felt he owed it to him for, basically saving his soul, so he didn't go down that path completely, that Voldemort had forced him to do. After Harry announced what Severus did and why, Draco felt the weight lifted off of his shoulders, and visiting his grave was the only way he could give… thanks.

But this time, it was different.

As Draco approached the grave, he saw a person in a hooded black cloak, hovering over it. As he got closer, he heard a little bit of sniffling, and slowly took out his wand. "Hey!" he yelled out.

The person's head snapped up in his direction, and let out, what sounded like a girl's gasp, but he wasn't sure. Before Draco could say anything else, the supposed girl, ran away from him.

Still with his wand in hand, he stood over Severus' grave and looked down, and there before him, was a bouquet of assorted flowers. Draco scoffed, because whoever this person was that was visiting his grave, obviously didn't know Severus at all. Seeing as Harry made sure, there was lilies growing almost all around his headstone, in honor of the love for his mother.

Shaking his head, Draco picked up the bouquet and tossed it as far as he could, without giving it a second thought. He just couldn't believe that someone had the decency to put anything, other than lilies, on this man's grave. "Bloody idiot." he murmured.

...

The same day, next week, Draco stumbled across the new and fresh bouquet of flowers in the same place it was before, except, nobody was there this time. He started to get angry, because he didn't know who this person was or why they were doing this, but before school was about to start back up, thanks to the new Headmistress - Professor McGonagall, he was determined to find out.

Again, he tossed the bouquet, in the same direction he did last time, and snorted, before he Apparated back to the Malfoy Manor. "Lola!" he yelled, going up the stairs, searching for his new house elf.

"Yes, Master?"

"Stop what you're doing, I've got a job for you."

...

Three days had passed since Draco sent Lola on her top secret mission, when she lightly knocked on his door. "Master Draco?"

"Come in, Lola." he said, not looking up. "Did you do what I asked?"

"Yes, Sir."

"So, tell me." he demanded, packing his trunk with his clothes. "Who keeps visiting Professor Snape's grave?"

"It's a girl."

"What?" he snapped his head up, seeing the scared look on Lola's face. "A girl? Who is she?"

"I don't know, but she was crying."

"Thanks, Lola... you can leave now." he nodded, then Lola walked out of his room. Draco sat down on his bed, thinking about the first time he encountered her, but then, he wasn't sure if it was a girl or not. He shook his head and continued to pack, because either way, he was going to find out who this "girl" was.

But little does Draco know, this girl would change his life forever.

A/N: Okay, boys and gals, there is chapter one. Forgive me if it's so short, it's only the beginning to an awesome story. Or at least I'll try my best to make it awesome.

**I know I didn't say this at the top, but watching DH2, holy crap! I freaking cried from the first five minutes and throughout the entire movie, I couldn't stop. I'd try to, then something else would trigger my tears. I flipping lost it when Snape died, seeing Lupin and Tonks laying next to each other, and seeing Snape's memories. Just couldn't stop crying. But I have to say, that was an AMAZING movie and I swear, if Alan Rickman doesn't get any awards for playing the best character, EVER... if he don't, I don't know what's wrong with this world, I really don't. He was fucking AMAZING! And yes, I've always loved Alan Rickman in other movies, and of course I loved Snape from the first movie, him being a hottie, was the icing on the cake. Yes, I said it... Severus is a hottie. Anyhoo, enjoy this, like I said, and as always R&R!**
