This was written for the 2011 hp_zombiefest.

Title: Dead Men Walking
Characters: Harry Potter, Luna Lovegood, Theodore Nott, Zacharias Smith
Rating: PG-13 for some violence
Word Count: ~4500
Warning(s): Some violence involved in the killing of the undead
Prompt: A little bit of
kinky_kneazle's "Harry wakes up in the infirmary to find the school deserted and has to figure out what's going on" made it here, but Harry did not wake up at Hogwarts. Then I took "zombie apocalypse in the HP world" and ran with it.
Summary: Of all the things that she believes in, Luna Lovegood wants this on record: she is very sorry it's the zombies that turn out to be real.
Author's Note: I had tremendous fun writing this, so thanks to
deirdre_aithne for running the fest. ♥ I took a few liberties in defining what is and isn't a zombie in the HP world, and if it helps, my ideas are pretty much influenced by Mira Grant and Max Brooks. (In fact, each section's title is taken from Max Brook's rules for surviving the zombie apocalypse.) Thanks to C & S for their feedback, and A for the eagle-eyed beta job. ♥ Hope you enjoy reading!
