In Another Life (Wolfstar)

Prologue

The sounds of battle echo throughout the hall. Order members and Death Eaters battle each other all up and down the great stone steps surrounding the airy black veil.

Right in front of me, wand in hand and maniac grin on her face is my lovely as ever cousin, Bellatrix Lestrange. She shouts a spell over the din of the others, stupefy. Before i register what spell she cast, the jet of red light hits me square in the chest.

I fall backwards, right through the black veil. Once i pass through the veil i am overwhelmed by the unintelligible whispers coming from all around me. They grow in pitch and volume, my head starts to pound and i curl into a ball, my head cupped in my hands.
The voices reach an entirely unbearable pitch and then falls silent as the world around me goes dark.
