One week later, Harry was awoken by a nightmare. Not only did he wake up in a cold sweat, he was also face down on the floor and he could feel blood spouting from his nose. "Great," Harry muttered to himself as he got up and conjured a tissue with his wand. He tried to get into the bathroom without waking Draco, but failed.

"What's wrong Potter?" Draco mumbled, still half-asleep. They were sharing Charlie's old room, while Hermione and Luna slept in Percy's. No one had ventured into Ginny's room in three months, too many bad memories. She was the first Weasley girl in generations, and now, she too, was gone. Fred had left that morning to go back to work, Lee Jordan had taken over for him along with his gilrfriend, Angelina Johnson. Bill was still there though, he was sleeping in his old room with Fleur. Hestia Jones, Reums' girlfriend of six months, was sleeping in Percy's room with the girls. The Black Residence was being remodeled especially for her because she was moving in soon, and Remus would need a bigger room. Not to mention all the fixing up the house needed that had been put off until after the war.

"Nightmare...Bloody nose," was all Harry said as he entered the bathroom and grabbed some blood stopping potion from the cabinet. He returned to the room a few minutes later to find Luna and Mrs. Weasley in there.

"What..what are you guys doing here?" Harry asked cautiously, he wanted to make sure his dream wasn't a another stupid vision. But that's impossible, Harry thought, Voldemort's dead, I don't have the connection anymore.

"Nothing's wrong dear," Molly assured him, noticing his scared expression, "We just wanted to make sure you're okay."

"Oh," Harry said, breathing a sigh of relief, "Yeah, I'm fine. Just a nightmare, a normal nightmare," he insisted after seeing the looks he was getting. Truthfully, it wasn't all normal, it was just another flashback of his parent's killing, only this time Ginny and Seamus had been in Lily and James' place.

"Alright," Molly said after giving him a good look-over, "But if you need anything-"

"I'll let you know," Harry interrupted, hoping that he would be alone for a bit.

"Fat chance," Luna said, catching Harry's hopeful look. Draco looked from Harry to Luna and decided he should leave the two of them alone. He turned around and left the room, deciding to go down to the pond for a bit.

"Now," Luna said, settling herself into Harry's lap, "Tell me what happened."

Harry took a deep breath and began, "It was a flash-back, well sort of. It was the day Voldemort killed my parents...o-only it wasn't my mum and dad. It was Ginny and Seamus." Both Ginny and Seamus were dead, so Harry knew it couldn't be a warning, it was just anightmare, a simple nightmare, "Lu, it was like loosing them all over again. I-I can't. I c-can't loose any more friends. I-I j-just can't." Sobs racked his body as he was filled with pain. He couldn't loose any more friends, he had lost so much already. He clung to Luna as if she would hold him and take away his pain. He loved her, and love had kept him alive so far, maybe it would keep him around a little longer.

"Shhh," Luna soothed as Harry cried, "It's alright Harry, I'm here. It's okay." Luna had taken to soothing Harry's pain, as he had taken to soothing hers. They understood eachother to a tee, and they loved eachother for it.

They stayed that way for about an hour, until Harry's tears had run dry. Luna, too, had been crying, because she was also thinking about all those they had lost. Luna rarely ever cried, but after loosing so many, she, too, needed a release.

Around eight-thirty, Ron woke up and told Harry and Luna that he and Hermione were going to Hogsmeade today. Harry and Luna were welcomed to join them, but they had refused politely, saying they wished to visit Fred, Angelina, Alicia, and Lee Jordan today. Hestia was taking them, along with Bill and Fleur. Bill and Fleuar had to pick out wedding invitations, seeing as the date was set for the following August, and Hestia needed to visit the Divination Shop, because she had been asked by McGonagall to teach Ancient Runes, because Professor Vector had been offered the position of Headmistress at some school in Canada.

At eleven o' clock sharp, Hestia, Bill, Fleur, Harry, and Luna apparated to the Leaky Cauldron. They had apparated around back so they wouldn't be bombarded by the press and adoring fans. Hestia opened up the passage way and they all made their way to Gringotts.

"Alright you two," Bill said in mock seriousness, out of everyone in the Weasley family, he was holding up the best, probably because of Fleur. "No snogging in the streets, and I want you back home by five, understood?"

"Yes sir, Bill, man, sir," Luna cried in mock salute. Harry laughed despite his semi-dark mood, it had only been two weeks since the Final Battle, and the wounds still burned with salt and witch-hazel. Hestia made her way up to the Divination Shop, Finding the Future, while Bill and Fleur walked down to the Bridal Store. Harry and Luna walked to Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes hand in hand. They reached the shop and entered happily, knowing this was yet another one of their cheering up missions.

"Hey Lee," Harry called out as he entered the store. Lee Jordan, Fred and Geroge's friend from Hogwarts, was now the official co-owner of WWW. At the moment, he was sitting behind the desk going over Owl orders. Alicia Spinnet, Lee's fiance, was busy helping a costumer, while Fred was setting up a new display. Angelina Johnson, Fred's girlfriend of four years, was the Assistant Coach for Podmere United, so she wasn't there at the moment.

Lee looked up from his paperwork and smiled at Harry and Luna, "Hey guys," he said, "Great to see you!" Harry smiled, and then turned to Fred.

"How're you holding up?" Luna asked, cutting straight to the point.

"I'm decent," Fred replied, but Harry could see the pain in his friend's eyes.

"How are you really?" Harry asked, worried about Fred.

"I feel like crawling into a hole and crying until my tears run dry and I'm dead. I lost my best friend, Harry. He was the only one who understood me, and now he's gone. Why did he leave Harry?" Fred asked pleadingly. Harry knew all to well the pain his friend was going through. He knew it hurt like hell, and he knew it would never go away.

"It was his time," Harry replied, "The pain isn't going to go away, Fred, it's won't ever go away. It will dull, it will almost feel normal, but it won't ever go away."

"I know," Fred whispered, trying to hold back tears. He apparated to the back room and sat down. Harry, sensing where Fred went, followed him, as did Luna.

"You can't keep running," Luna insisted, she didn't like it when Fred was upset. He was the guy that could make anyone laugh. Seeing him in tears was like watching a clown cry, it was heart-wrenching.

"Why not?" Fred asked simply, he liked running, it made the pain go away, if only for a bit.

"Because eventually you'll slow down, and the pain will catch you and torture you. You have to learn to deal with it, it's your only chance of getting over it," Harry explained.

"I guess," Fred said after pondering this idea for a few moments. Then, he did something amazing, something he hadn't done in two weeks, he smiled. And it was a real smile, not those sad smiles he had been giving everyone. He looked at Harry and said, "We have a new product, it's called Lee's Lieing Lollis. Lee created them, they have enough Veritisium to last for about three minutes. We had to get the Veritisium from a private dealer, but we got it, and it works like a charm. I want you guys to have a few boxes, you never know when they might come in handy."

Luna and Harry smiled at Fred's change in attitude, mission Save-Fred-From-Suicide was a success. Fred handed them each two boxes and told them to look around, anything under 50 galleons was on the house, "You are our sponsor after all," he said.

Luna and Harry left WWW two hours later, their pockets filled with pranks, potions, and spell books, all which were compiled by Fred, George, Angelina, Alicia, Lee, and Katie Bell, who was also dead. They apparated to the entrance of the Leaky Cauldron and then to the Burrow. All in all, it had been quite and enjoyable day, and now Fred was a little happier. Life was good, or as good as it could get when you're Harry Potter.
