Chapter 20: The First Battle

We met Luna, Ron, Ginny, and Neville in front of the Department of Mysteries. When we entered, since it was so dark, we put up our wands. We waited for a while, then, I Death Eater appeared in his mask. I instantly knew it was Uncle Lucius.

"Where's Sirius?" asked Harry.

Uncle Lucius muttered something about dreams, pulled out his wand, and removed the mask.

"You saw only what the Dark Lord wanted you to see. Now, hand me the prophecy."

"You do anything, or else I'll break it."

We paused. There was a wicked laugh. We looked to see who did that laugh. It was my mum.

"He knows how to play, itty, bitty, baby, Potter!"

I smiled. I've always loved that line.

"Bellatrix Lestrange!" gaped Neville.

"Neville Longbottom, isn't it? How's mum and dad?"

"Better now that they're about to be avenged." He pointed his wand at my mum. We both gasped and I blocked Neville from cursing my mum.

"Now let's everybody just call down." We all lowered our wands slowly. Mum looked towards me.

"Lyra, come on, come over here, darling," said mum while extending her arms.

I ran to mum and she put her arm around me. The others, except Uncle Lucius, states at me with confusion.

"You two know each other?" asked Harry.

"She's my daughter, idiots!"

They gasped in shock.

"And you didn't tell us because......"

"Because I'm not allowed and even if I was allowed to, I didn't want people to treat me differently."

They nodded, "but who's your father?" asked Ginny.

"The man who started it all," I replied. They looked at me in confusion.

Uncle Lucius cut in and said, "all we want, is that prophecy."

"Why did Voldemort need me to come and get this?"

"You dare speak his name, YOU FILTHY HALF-BLOOD!"

My eyes widened. I realized she didn't know dad and I were half-blood, so while Uncle Lucius was talking, I whispered into her ear, "dad and I are half-blood too."

She flushed a bit in embarrassment. We followed Uncle Lucius while he was speaking.

"Now all you have to do is give it to me and I can show you everything."

"I've waited fourteen years."

"I know."

Harry muttered something, then he yelled, "NOW!"

They all yelled, "'Stupefy!'"

We all ran around, attacking each other with spells. Mum pulled me aside and said, "no fighting them yet, you need to gain their trust."

I nodded. She took me to this open space and we met the others. She got Neville while the other Death Eaters got the teens leaving Harry in the middle. Lucius came up and started talking to Harry about the prophecy. I just stood in the corner, watching, and doing nothing at all. Fun!

I couldn't catch everything Uncle Lucius was saying, but basically he was telling Harry to give him the prophecy. Harry gave Uncle Lucius the prophecy, Sirius came in the picture, and punched my uncle which caused him to break it. I started giggling. Uncle Lucius is an idiot. The whole order came in and they started throwing spells at each other.
