Hi!!! My second fic, as some can tell. School has started for me today, but I had a terrible urge to write something. So, without anymore interruptions, my new fic!

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, or any other J.K. Rowling's other brilliant creations. Sad, isn't it…sigh…=)

Prologue

-.-*-.-*-.-*-.-*-.-*-.-*-.-*-.-*-.-*-.-*-.-*-.-

Everything had gone wrong. Sure, the war was won, and Voldemort was defeated, but at what price? The price of his best friends, and dearest family. All of them gone. He would never see Ron again, playing chess with him, even though he was being pounded into the ground. Hermione, peering over her book, listening to him, talk about his latest troubles (which were a lot). Sirius, fun-loving yet extremely protective of him.

Everyone slaughtered mercilessly, almost all while protecting and helping him. He felt so guilty, so helpless. Yes, the war was over, but there was no one to celebrate the occasion with.

Draco, who had defected to the light after his father died, brought him a tray, loaded with food, Luna right behind him. Draco and Luna had been the only people who he could confide in with everyone else gone.

He had been pouring over ancient texts and tomes, stuck inside the Potter vault for years upon years, searching for a way to do something, to save his friends, no matter the consequences. It had been several months, with little to no progress.

"Harry, you have to eat something, sleep, do something besides pour over those books. You're draining all of your energy. You can't go on like this!" The black haired boy lifted his dull green gaze, at the sound of Draco's voice, and looked into the silver-grey eyes of both standing in front of him. "I have to do this, Draco, Luna. I just have to,"

"No, what you have to do is eat and rest! You've been wearing yourself down for months! Stop this!" Luna exclaimed. Tears trickled down her face, and a few stray tears down his, pent up emotions bursting out, and exploding.

"Fine," the raven sighed. "Give me five more minutes, and I'll rest for an hour or two." "No, Harry! You have to sleep! Look, I know you feel an obligation to bring everyone back, but you're not going to help anyone in a hospital bed from lack of sleep and food!" Draco cut in.

"If you rest for a week, I'll take you to the Malfoy vaults and search for more stuff there. Just rest first!" "I'll take you to the Lovegood vault, too, and help you look!" Luna added in.

Harry sighed, but pulled himself out of his seat, knowing that both Luna and Draco would never let him have access to their vaults unless both were truly desperate for him to relax. The blond had wanted to sever all ties with his old family, especially because of the way they had treated him. The blonde hadn't visited her vault since her father died, painful memories brought up every time anything regarding the Lovegoods were mentioned.

He stumbled, legs numb from lack of use, and Draco caught him, grasping his shoulder. As embarrassing as it was, he really didn't have any energy to protest, as he was running on pure adrenaline, and was extremely tired and weary. Luna spoon fed him his supper, and then Draco pushed him in bed, and covered him up in a blanket.

Harry's last conscious thought was that he was very thankful both Draco and Luna were still there with him, even without the need to. Otherwise he would have collapsed months ago, unable to handle the stress and grief. With that, everything went dark, Harry finally allowing his body much needed rest

And that's a wrap! The prologue to my new story! I'll try to update soon, but I am quite busy with the school year starting and everything. The beginning's a bit angsty, but it'll get better. Why Draco and Luna?...Originally it was just Draco, but I like Luna, and Draco. There two of my favorite characters. I'll put a poll up for pairings soon, and go to my profile page to vote! I'll probably change the title of this fic soon. Sorry about the long author's note, there will be shorter ones, as the story progresses. Please review, it encourages faster updates! Thanks! =)
