Written by Chibikan

Prologue:

It had started as a simple cruise nothing more. It's all I wanted. I only wanted to have a nice, peaceful, relaxing vacation without any wizards in my face. I wanted nothing to do with the magical world this summer, nothing. I'm seventeen now, it shouldn't have been too much to ask.

"But NO!" Harry yelled as he bobbed up and down in the small raft on the sea. "No, YOU had to show up," He continued as he turned his head to look at the snake-like red-eyed man in the black robes. "And now the ship is sunk, we're in the middle of nowhere, so we can't apparate. Your wand is gone, mine is in two pieces. We've no food, no water, and no sign of land! HAVE I LEFT ANYTHING OUT!"

"Oh shut up and keep paddling!" The other man ordered. "We've got to reach land sometime."

AN: I know, this is horribly short, but it's really just supposed to be a teaser, setting the stage and letting you know what is basically the idea of this new fic.
