"I can't love you, Harry" I shook my head and backed away. She didn't now what she was saying. "Just leave me here, I will be fine."

I couldn't believe this. Why would she do this to me? Lead me around like a fool. She doesn't care for my feelings. No one has cared, not even Hermione.

At that point a song began to play. The melody was familiar but I couldn't take it all in. I could see everyone I cared for before me. Each one had let me down. Each person had hurt me. It hurt too much to stand. I felt my body fall and I couldn't deal with the pain.

My wand slowly rose to my heart.

Suddenly there was no music and I snapped back to life. For some reason Voldemort look horrified and the reason became obvious, Dumbledore in the room. His eyes were not sparkling and his face was not gleaming. He did not look at all friendly but ice cold like he could never be cheery again. The headmaster and the Dark Lord faced each other, wands on the defense.

"This isn't just about that boy, Dumbledore." Voldemort spoke without even blinking. "There are greater things to do. I've known ever since my years at Hogwarts that I would only have one goal. I will be in complete power of Muggles and magic folk. And there are only two people who have been in my way." At that moment my scar burned more than it ever had.

A voice in my mind spoke to me, "Dumbledore will not save you. He will die and leave you alone. I will also be sure to kill that girl before you, that way you can witness her death. Everyone will die and you will watch. Even your friend Ronald, he is already dead. One of my followers killed him the moment I seized you.

Then I saw Voldemort say something. Avada Kedavra. Then I was alone. It was all black. My scar did something it hadn't done since fifth year. It burned worse then a lifetime with a hating family, even worse then having no parents. I felt the presence of Voldemort in my body.

I won't let him destroy anyone; the only way to kill him would be to kill myself. I took up my wand and pointed it at my own heart. No spell did this to me; it would be my own decision to demolish Voldemort.

"No, you wouldn't kill yourself. You could always join me; you're too brave to die." Voldemort's voiced echoed in my body.

"Avada Kedavra" I was prepared for the worst. My muscles tightened and my eyes widened. Then something strange happened, nothing. Could I not perform the spell, was I not powerful enough? Then I saw light, like I had just awoken from a terrible nightmare.

"Harry? Oh god-d, Harry you should have seen yourself" I looked around and noticed I was in the hospital wing. I saw Luna's face and it was beautiful. Yet, her eyes looked odd. She was herself no doubt but she was crying.

"Where's Ron, Hermione, Dumbledore?" It hit me, like a bullet. Something was wrong and I remembered watching Dumbledore die. "Dumbledore, first of all is fine. You were going mad, yelling and crying. I couldn't do anything Harry. You looked so hurt."

"No, that doesn't make sense. The music stopped and then Dumbledore was...he died! He tried to save me, like my parents! AND HE DIED!"

"Harry, why don't I get Professor-DUMBLEDORE!" In walked the headmaster of Hogwarts with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Mr. Potter, so we see each other again in the hospital. We should not make this a habit. Ms. Lovegood, why don't you go back to the Ravenclaw dormitory and have a rest." Luna back away from Harry's bed and walked slowly out of the hospital wing.

"First, you must be wondering why I am alive before you. Voldemort had set up a spell, which does not do anything but create an illusion. He created the illusion of me entering the room and of me dying a painful death. You, for as long as you were in eyesight of Voldemort had been under his spell."

"Ron? How is Ron? Voldemort had said that he was dead, but that isn't true right"

"He is fine. No one is hurt, but Voldemort I must sadly say escaped. I am happy to say that he will not be returning for quite some time. As for you, get some rest and in no time you will be up and running."

The next morning I woke up in the hospital bed feeling good as new. Yet, had everything that happened been a dream? It felt so surreal sitting on the bed, sunlight showing through the open windows. I jumped from the bed and ran out of the hospital.

In the great hall I saw Hermione and Ron. "Hey, 'Mione! Ron" Quickly, I ran and hugged them like I hadn't seen them in years.

"Harry, it's great to see you have your strength back. I'm so glad you're ok." Hermione said trying to fix my Hair.

"That's right, you look well rested mate." Ron jokingly rubbed my head putting my hair back to its normal stage.

"Thanks guys but do you know where Luna is?" Ron and Hermione shrugged, they hadn't seen her since the encounter with Voldemort.

Then I realized where Luna was, the one place that belonged to her. I ran up several flights of stairs and finally came to a passage. I walked through and went up a few more steps. Then I saw her, she was lying at the window with her eyes closed.

"Oh Ms. Lovegood..."
