Time to go back
Harry saw Ron, Hermione, Neville, and Seamus running towards a group of death eaters, and they started to battle, sending curses at each other. A killing curse just about missed hermiones' head. Harry couldn't take it. He had to end this before any of his friends could get hurt. He started to run into the forest where he knew Voldemort was hiding. He heard a scream from behind and he turned around quickly to find Neville dead on the floor. Ron fell with a thump next to him as he was struck with the killing curse. Hermione and Seamus were still fighting aggressively and they killed two death eaters.
No, no no no… Harry thought. He turned back around and saw about six more death eaters blocking the way to help his friends.
They raised their wands to fire at Harry but they were distracted by the rest of the Weasley family, Remus and Tonks.
'Run, Harry, run!' shouted Molly Weasley, as she sent curses and hexes at a death eater at an alarming speed.
Harry couldn't just leave them there. He ran towards them but Lupin sent up an invisible shield to stop him getting closer.
'Just go Harry, we can handle these.' He shouted, blocking a cutting curse that was sent to his head.
He didn't want to leave but he did seeing the pleading look in Lupins eyes.
He sent a worried glance at them before running into the forest. He could hear screams and the death eaters laughing as they killed more innocent people. He turned his head just in time to see all his friends drop dead as the death eaters surrounded them and shot each one with a killing curse. Suddenly his scar burst with pain and he turned around to face Voldemort…

Luna woke up to the sounds of screaming coming from Harrys' bedroom. She quickly jumped out of bed and went running into Dracos' bedroom.
"Draco! Wake up, it's Harry!" she said, shaking Dracos' shoulders until he opened his silver eyes which was filled with worry.
"Harry? What's wro-'' he started but was interrupted by an unnatural scream from Harrys room.
They quickly fled Draco's room and sprinted into Harry's room where they saw him thrashing about, tangled up in his bed sheets and covered in sweat.
"Luna, go and get a wet cold cloth!" Draco said franticly, running over to Harry and shaking his shoulders trying to wake him up. He had heard many stories that people could die from nightmares.
Luna rushed in holding a damp cloth and started to wipe his face, and relief spread over her features when she saw a pair of astounding emerald eyes partly open. Harry was panting hard and covered his very pale face with his trembling hands.
"Harry, are you ok?" asked Draco, concerned.
Harry slowly nodded, removing his shaky hands from his face and feeling Luna wiping the cold sweat of his face with the chilly cloth.
He sat up slowly, pulling his legs up by his heaving chest, and felt Draco and Luna sit either side of him.
"Was it the war against…?" Draco asked sympathetically, placing a hand on Harry's quivering shoulder.
He nodded, lifting his fear-filled eyes to look into there anxious ones.
"Come down stairs, Harry. I will make you a hot chocolate." Luna said softly, extending her hand.
Harry gratefully took it and they walked downstairs and sat at their table. Luna got all the ingredients and started to make the hot chocolate, adding marshmallows and whipped cream. Once it was done, she handed it over to Harry who took it gratefully.
"What time is it?" Draco asked curiously, noticing that it was still dark outside.
Luna looked at her watch and replied, "Its 6 o'clock, we might as well get ready to get the ingredients from Diagon alley."
Harry and Draco nodded and they went upstairs to get ready.
Once they were dressed, they apparated to Diagon Alley and went into the potions shop, called Slug and Jiggers Apothecary.
Draco walked up to the counter and handed over the list of ingredients to the man who looked at it thoughtfully.
"I am afraid I don't have half of these ingredients seeing as they are very rare, but I can get you the rest." He said, rushing from his counter with a huge bag, and grabbing the ingredients of from the shelves and behind his desk.
Harry gave the man eight galleons, five sickles, and ten Knuts for them and the three of them heaved the bag from the shop and apparated back home.
"We are still missing many ingredients, like the toe of a merman, a claw from a Grindylow and a horn from a golden unicorn. It is going to take us ages to get all of these!" Luna said, her brow wrinkled in concentration.
Draco got the ingredients list and his eyes widened.
"I know where we can get these!" he said, lifting his silver eyes to their stunned faces. He quickly got his black cloak and wand, and apparated with an earsplitting crack that made Harry and Luna jump.

With a piercing crack, Draco appeared in front of the gates of his fathers' huge manor house. But it did not look like it did many months ago. There was no white peacocks strutting around the giant front lawn, many windows were smashed and there was rude writing over the once white bricks.
Draco breathed deeply as he opened the rusty, creaky gates and walked up the crumbling path to the boarded door. Owls hooted in dead trees around the old manor and bats flew in and out the windows.
"Reducto" Draco muttered as he pointed his wand to the door that blew up leaving a way inside.
Draco carefully stepped inside the abandoned house and muttered Lumos. A bright white light on the tip of his wand lit up the giant hallway as he walked cautiously up the dusty stairs. He slowly crept through many corridors until he was in front of his fathers' old potions lab. He warily pushed aside the door to have many bats fly out of the room. Draco quickly covered his face until they past him and he walked into the room. His footsteps echoed around the stone room as he rushed around, collecting the ingredients for the potion. There was a terrible smell hanging around the room, and jars full of disgusting looking dead creatures that he didn't want to know about.
He put all the ingredients in a bag witch he shrunk to fit into his pocket. He quickly ran through the corridors, descended down the stairs and out the broken front door. As soon as he got out of the slowly collapsing building, he apparated home.

Luna was lying on the sofa on her back, reading the complicated spell that goes with the complex potion. Harry was slouched on a chair, fast asleep with his head resting on one of the books pages which held the instructions to the potion. Luna was just about to get up when a deafening crack filled the room causing Harry to fall off the chair and Luna to whip out her wand.
"Draco! Don't do that!" she shouted, putting her wand away and lightly hitting Draco on his arm.
"Sorry Luna, Harry." He said, trying not to burst out laughing.
"It's ok," Harry said, getting up off the floor. "Where did you go anyway?"
"Oh, I went to Malfoy Manor, and I got the rest of the ingredients!" he said, his eyes lighting up as he pulled the small pouch out of his pocket.
"Engorgio" he whispered, pointing his wand at the small pouch that grew to its full size.
"You went there ALONE?" Luna said, raising her voice as she and Harry sent daggers at him with their eyes.
Draco just stood there, his mouth open at the thought of his stupid actions.
"You could have been hurt, maybe killed, Draco! You could have asked us to help instead of just apparating without telling us! We could've helped you!" Harry confirmed, folding his arms.
"Yes I know, but look!" he asked pleadingly, emptying his pouch on the table to reveal all the rare ingredients they were missing.
Harry rushed over and stared in shock, totally forgetting to be angry with him.
"Hello Harry, you're meant to be angry at him!" Luna said in shock as she watched the boys put the ingredients back into the bag.
Harry replied with a grunt before rushing of to get started on the potion, and Luna muttered something that sounded a lot like 'boys' before going back to her book.

It has been many tiring weeks for the three friends. Harry and Draco had to take it in turns to watch over the potion, hardly getting any sleep. Luna was getting frustrated as she practiced the wand movements and saying the spell repeatedly until she knew the words of by heart. However, by the time the potion was ready, she knew the wand movements so well that she could do it backwards.
Draco and Harry heaved the potion into the main room and sat around it as Luna handed a glass to each of them. Harry poured the same amount of potion into each of their glasses and held hands with Luna, and Draco held her other hand. Luna started to say the charm in Latin, and a pale blue light reflected of all three of them. As she finished, they let go of her hands and they drank the potion, setting down three empty glasses. They all grimaced at the taste as Luna started saying the spell again but adding the wand movements. Suddenly, a bright gold light filled the room, however, when it disappeared, there was nothing there except the cauldron and three empty glasses.
