Prologue

"Where was she found?"

"709 Star court."

"The rest of the family?"

"Dead."

The Dark Lord's face slowly melted from thoughtful to malicious, his slit-pupil eyes burning gleefully.

"Master? What are your humble servants to do with her?"

Lord Voldemort turned his evil grin on the cowering, once-human Death Eater before him. "We're going to keep her . . ."

He threw back his almost serpentine head and laughed, the nails-on-chalkboard sound screeching through the air.

The Death Eater shuddered.
