Hey! So I know I already have two Harry Potter fan-fics to update, but this idea just wouldn't get out of my head. Here's the summary: Harry Potter fell off the face of the Wizarding World after the war. On the 18th anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts, he kills himself, leaving behind a sixteen-year-old daughter and a mysterious past. This is only the prologue. Hopefully I'll have a chapter up soon.

Harry Potter stared at the potion he had placed on his bedside table. It was highly poisonous and would likely kill him if he drank it. He sighed. It had been eighteen long years since the Battle of Hogwarts, eighteen long years since he had defeated Voldemort. He should be feeling joy on this day, but all he could manage to feel was an emptiness in the pit of his stomach. When Harry thought of the Battle, he only saw dead bodies and screaming children, only smelt blood and fire. He saw faces of those they had lost and voices of those he missed. There was no peace.

The only bright spot in his whole pathetic life was Gabriella, his little girl, the only reason he hadn't done this sooner. He wasn't sure if she needed him or he needed her. Gabby had grown up to be such a beautiful young girl, almost seventeen now. Her sixteenth birthday had just passed. She was the spitting image of her mother, of the breathtakingly beautiful Italian woman he had fallen in love with in this tiny village in Italy.

But she would be better off without him, he convinced himself. Gabby would be better off with an depressed father to take care of. She could actually go to school and have friends. Luna would take care of him. She might even get to meet the Weasleys. He hoped so. They could explain some things to her.

Harry placed a note he had scrawled out earlier that day on the table and grabbed the glass full of the potion, raising it to his lips. He would be in peace now, he convinced himself. He'll be happy know. He'll be free.

And with that, Harry Potter took a drink of a highly poisonous potion, successfully killing himself. It was something that would change a handful of lives forever.
