Professor Quirrell! Lucy knew that Snape wasn't the one after the stone but she hadn't excepted Quirrell, and his head! How ghastly.
"Kill him" the face ordered and Lucy leapt over the fire that separated her from the others. Quirrell flew towards Harry with the intent to kill him.
Lucy looked away from Harry and Quirrell in disgust as Quirrell's face seemed to turn to ash. The smell of burning skin filled the air. Disgusting! Lucy snatched the stone from the steps and examined Harry's tattered state.
"Are you alright?" Lucy asked. "I'm fine. What are you doing here?"
Lucy didn't get a chance to answer before a ghost like form flew through Harry, knocking him unconscious. Lucy hesitated for a second before she leapt over the flames and ran knowing that she couldn't do anything to help Harry. Oh, where was a weapon that she knew how to use when she needed one! A sword, a dagger, something!
Lucy slipped on a piece of rubble and tumbled to the ground. Just as the smoky form was about to strike a voice called out "Confringo" (a curse that 'explodes flames on target') and everything went black.
