CHAPTER 2 - SAFE HAVEN, THE MAGICAL FORTRESS SANCTUARY

OOOOO

6 months later, somewhere in the deep forest landscape and near the rocky mountains and ocean coastline of America, there lies a vast land space where it is surrounded by thick concrete stone walls in the height of 10 feet. It is also surrounded and covered with a powerful magical barrier that shielded any normal or mundane from sight and prevented any dangerous beings like the zombies from entering it.

In that vast land, it is known as the Safe Haven.

The magical fortified property and sanctuary to the survivors of the zombie apocalypse.

It was inherited by Harry Potter, left by his former godfather Sirius Black.

The grand place was so large, that you can almost fit a combined small country town and farm inside the walled fortress.

This place was built by one of the Black magical family relatives who was a Seer and predicted that an apocalypse was coming. By the time he had finished building it and made the tall stone walls and the magical shields, he had died from old age before he could tell his family about the place.

It was fortunate and lucky that Sirius Black had stumbled upon it during his free time when he was at Grimmauld Place. Harry's godfather had found out about it from the discarded property papers and saw the file on a finished building report of the property. Sirius believed that his relative of a Seer was correct and he left it in his last will for Harry to inherit if he died.

Harry thought that Sirius would somehow know that he was going to die but he was happy that his godfather thought of him upon leaving him this place.

Thanks to that, Harry, little Teddy, and his other friends had a safe place to stay and are protected from the zombies that had taken over the world months before.

To live peacefully and safely in the apocalypse, they took on various roles to survive through it as time passed on.

It was an anonymous vote among the first survivor group that Harry was chosen as leader of the Safe Haven. Even though Harry didn't want to be the leader like the last time with his former DA school group, he decided to take on this role since no one else couldn't do it or want to take it. So he became the leader and governor of the magical place, and even when he was busy, he always made time to love and take care of his adopted godson Teddy Lupin with his friends helping along.

But it was fortunate that Harry wasn't alone in leading, his second-in-command, Draco Malfoy, now renamed as Draco Black, has helped Harry to lead and taking care of the Safe Haven whenever Harry is busy searching out for other survivors or he was with his godson.

The reason being he renamed himself as Black was because Draco believed that there were no more living relatives in the Malfoy family, that he decided for himself to discard the Malfoy name and let himself be free from it by taking his mother's former maiden family name, that and he and Harry didn't mind that they would be related to one another coming from who they are connected to their former relative Sirius Black.

Blaise Zabini took over the security of the Safe Haven, ensuring that the fortified stone walls are maintained well and checking on the magical shields that surrounded the great sanctuary. Though he is a wizard-born, he knows how to use and watch on mundane security cameras that cover the whole plot and lot, both inside and outside. And there are no blind-spots missed around the Safe Haven. Those who had helped along with him in the security of the Haven are the magical survivors they had found and brought to the place long ago.

Neville Longbottom has taken over and leads the gardening, farming and the crops. He maintained the farming plantations and takes care of their food, ensuring that they have plenty to survive through the apocalypse. The same with Blaise, he had help from magical survivors.

Luna Lovegood has taken over the management of the residents of Safe Haven and the newcomer survivors rescued and brought into the sanctuary. She ensures that there is no nefarious and evil people brought to the haven and kept her friends and the people living in it safely. She is very useful in survivor and supply runs, even without her magic. So far, the only survivors that they had found along the way since the beginning of the apocalypse were the magical ones, which are the witches and wizards, and also some magical beings and creatures that were surviving, they are centaurs, werewolves, and others.

So Harry sometimes goes along with Luna to accompany her in those runs, along with Colin and Dennis Creevey, who are the main runners on the supplies and survivor search.

Colin and Dennis Creevey are not only the main runners on those tasks, but they also take over and maintain over the supplies kept in Safe Haven and manages over the inventory, ensuring that no one else has their fair share on their daily necessities and other needs to survive through the apocalypse.

When the eight magical survivors arrived first into the place, they had lived in it by themselves for the first 3 months as they fixed up the place, preparing and maintaining it to good use and made sure that everything was in good condition and that there are no broken gaps or breaches on the property so that they could survive and live in it peacefully.

It also helped when they had first arrived into the place, there was already house-elves inside it that still stayed and maintained the place and Harry figured that the elves have stayed there either by orders from their former masters or by choice.

Nevertheless, the house-elves were a big help and they were delighted of course to have new magical masters to serve to, even if they're not of the Black family bloodline. Some of them were already aware of the grim prophecy of the apocalypse long ago and they had stayed there to keep the place neat and clean in loyalty from their former master and knew that one day the new and recent one will come and live in it, along with other survivors.

Then after they had made sure that the Safe Haven was fully secure and livable to survive through the apocalypse, they decided to be brave and took turns into venturing out into the world during the zombie apocalypse to search for more supplies and survivors and then bring them all to Safe Haven so that they will be safe and live.

As of now after 6 months had passed on, the survivors and residents living in Safe Haven have grown from 8 to about 30 people inside the magical sanctuary. And its people that were found, rescued and brought to Safe Haven were all magical kinds. Not one mundane or normal human survivor has been found yet.

But that is going to change in the next days when Harry prepares and plans to go on another run outside the magical haven.

OOOOO

It was early afternoon when Harry went into space at the far right side of Safe Haven that is the location and spot where the crops and food gardens are, and he went there to visit the people managing there. He stepped into the area and came towards Luna who was also there working.

"Good morning, Harry!" Luna said dreamily when she looked up at him from her gardening, assisting and helping Neville.

Harry chuckled. "It's afternoon now, Luna."

"Oh my! I didn't know how much time has already passed!" Luna said blinking in surprise.

Harry chuckled again and looked over the crops Luna's gardening on. "How are the crops? Any problems?"

Luna shook her head. "Not at all. I'm about to reap some of them and resow to replenish our vegetable stocks."

"Well, try not to do too much work, Luna. Why don't you call for the others to give you a helping hand?" he offered. "There are some newcomers that just arrived here and maybe farming would be a good initiation for them."

Luna nodded and stood up to do as he said. "I'll go and do that. It won't be much work and I might need only two people to help me out. They're at the center building?"

Harry nodded and watched her go.

Neville looked up from his task when he noticed Luna leave. "Where's Luna going?"

Harry answered him, "Luna went to get some more help along for the crop gardening. I thought you could use some extra hands on this, Neville."

Neville nodded and continued his task on listing the fresh fruits and vegetables that were picked and placed on crates. "Thanks for that, Harry. You're going on another run?"

"Yeah…I figured that the people who are still surviving out there deserve a safe place to be in like this one. So far, our new resident that took over communications had reported to me that the news spreading throughout the world is still going bad." Harry said with a grim look on his face.

Neville sighed, knowing his friend. "Harry, don't blame yourself. We can't always save everyone in this world, Harry. I'm sure that you did your best. Besides-it can't be that bad. Some areas have gone dark from the mundane and magical communications."

"I know, I know, it's just…I felt like I should've done more."

"Don't start with those kinds of thoughts, Harry. We have all done our best here and we can continue doing it. It won't be any help being depressed over it, all we have to do is just keep moving forward and give it all we got to save whoever's surviving through this." Neville said in a grand speech that almost surprised Harry of his maturity.

Harry smiled at him. "Thanks, Neville."

"So can I ask who's looking after Teddy?"

Harry chuckled as if he thought of something funny and answered. "Draco's looking after my little boy."

Neville blinked as if he didn't hear him clearly.

"Draco? The Draco Malfoy? He's the one taking care of Teddy? Really?" he asked dubiously.

Harry chuckled again. "He's not Malfoy anymore, he's a Black now. And Teddy will be fine, Draco will be taking care of him well. Despite that he shows in his face that he doesn't like baby-sitting, he loves my kid."

Neville didn't believe him at first but he trusted Harry.

Then Harry nodded to Neville to say goodbye and he turned and left the gardening area to go towards the main gates of Safe Haven and went to grab his weapons and needed things to prepare himself to leave.

Harry firmly believed and hoped that there are more survivors out there waiting for him.

But he didn't expect that the survivors he'll be looking out for would be the kind that he never expected.

The one that is the usual magical beings that he had encountered and rescued but this one is different.

For this one is the one that might change Harry's world and be his partner for life.

OOOOO
