Prologue –

Darkness was all that Lucy Weasley could see along with the faint smell of muggy smoke that filled her nostrils. She was awake, alive, but soon she could tell her eyes were closed.

She heard voices far off, and felt the ground thud with footsteps, the vibrations through the ground growing, making Lucy's head ache. She realised she was lying on hard earth, as she flitted in and out of consciousness. Lucy tried to stretch her eyes awake but her body felt limp and almost lifeless.

"Lucy!"

"Lucy?"

"LUCY!"

Slowly, Lucy's eyes began to open as she saw the horrified face of her Uncle Ron and Uncle Charlie leaning over her. Soon the vibrations continued as she vaguely saw a white shock of blonde hair making it's way through the muggy smoke.

"Is she okay? Is she alright?" Lysander asked.

"Lucy?" Ron asked again before her mind retreated once again into darkness.
