Lucy had gone to stand by herself on the outskirts of the crowd after Jamie had finished speaking. So many were gone. It wasn't right.
She wiped her eyes again as her mind went through the list. She had been ignoring the pain the past few days, doing her best not to think about the questions still unanswered.
What about her mother? Why was her father at the ministry still. He had spoken with her before the attack, telling her decide if she wanted to come to Hogwarts or not. He had known something was happening and wanted her safe, but he had stayed behind. It couldn't be that he believed in Voldemort, she had to believe that.
By why wasn't her mother on any list?
Lucy looked over at Molly, knowing she should go join her sister, or any of her relatives.
Jamie however solved that problem for her when he approached her, "Hello," she said, doing her best to offer him a smile.
