Luna's heart pounded against her chest and her eyes filled with more tears. He was dead. Harry Potter was dead. The Dark Lord had won and he hovered above Harry's body with a smirk on his face. Luna gripped Draco's hand tighter and he pulled her into his embrace. He commanded his eyes not to tear up. Draco was covered in soot and his robes were stained with blood. His face was cut and bruised. Luna looked around the battlefield as she saw many of her friends lying on the floor, cold. Blaise was holding Ginny who was crying for her family. Hermione's body lay near Neville's and Fred's. George cried for his twin. The Dark Lord yelled in triumphant and the Death Eaters celebrated while Bellatrix cackled. Only a few Death Eaters had died. Luna buried her face in Draco's chest and cried, mourning for the lost. Lucius and Narcissa ran up to them, wrapping their arms around the two. Narcissa had a crying Scorpius in her arms, who held out his hands for his mother to take him. Luna took him and Scorpius buried himself in her robes. Draco put an arm around him and kissed his forehead. Suddenly the Dark Lord appeared in front of them. Scorpius whimpered in fright.
"Well done my soldiers. We have won, the boy is defeated. Now to conquer the rest of the Wizerding World." Voldemort laughed in delight while Draco pulled Luna and Scorpius closer. He nodded slightly.
"We shall celebrate. The Malfoys shall host the party." Voldemort told the rest of the Death Eaters. Voldemort looked at Lucius for confirmation.
Lucius nodded. "Yes my Lord." He kept his head bowed not willing to meet the eyes of the monster.
"Good. Now, to set a score with the Ministry. Lucius and Draco, you have done well. You may stay to see to the preparations. The party shall last exactly three weeks." Voldemort disappeared and the Death Eaters followed.
Luna fell to her knees and Draco bent down next to her, crying in her hair. Scorpius clung to his mother not willing to let go for the life of him. Lucius sighed in frustration and Narcissa cried on his shoulder. Suddenly Draco stood up.
"We need to see who we can help. We'll try to save those who we can." He said.
Lucius, Luna and Narcissa nodded in agreement. Draco took out his wand and walked to the nearest body. He felt the pulse and realized the person was dead. He went to the next body and then the next and then the next. Luna followed him while Lucius and Narcissa walked in the other direction. Draco came across Ginny and Blaise and told them what to do. They agreed. Together the six of them walked around, looking for survivors. There were only two people who were still alive and Luna and Ginny quickly healed them. George stood up and walked up to his sister.
"Ginny, we need to get to hiding. Are you coming?" George asked.
Ginny looked at Blaise and then shook her head. "No, you go ahead."
George understood her decision and he hugged her one last time. "Be safe," He whispered. Since he had lost his wand, Ginny apparated him and the two other people to the hiding place where the few survivors were. No one else was found alive and in the end, they decided to apparate back to Malfoy Manor. As soon as they entered the living room, Draco collapsed on the sofa and cursed under his breath. Tears started to fall down his cheeks.
"Goddamn it!" He let all of his anger into the tears that flowed freely down his cheeks.
"Draco please-" Lucius began.
"Father those kids didn't deserve to die! They were just teenagers! They hadn't lived their lives and they were destroyed just because their blood was damn different! Which it fucking was not!" Draco yelled.
Luna looked at Lucius asking with her eyes for him to leave so she could talk to Draco. Lucius nodded and left, taking Narcissa, Ginny and Blaise with him. Luna walked up to Draco and placed a hand on his shoulder. He looked up at her, his grey eyes filled with sorrow. Luna shifted Scorpius to her other arm and sat down near Draco. She took his hand in hers and smiled sadly.
"You're right; those kids did not deserve to die. But they did die and we have to acknowledge them for fighting for what was right. For giving their lives up for what was right. Voldemort will die, maybe not today or tomorrow but he will eventually. He's destroying himself. Even with all of the half bloods gone, he won't find peace. Right now we might seem powerless but we can have hope. Hope will keep us all alive."
Draco nodded slowly and pulled Luna up and hugged her. He took Scorpius from her and hugged him too. Hope filled his heart.
