   Ascension Tales Universe   
   Lucy Potter and the Gem of Wonder   
      
   by   
   Daniel Thomas Andrew Daly   
      
   Prologue   
      
   Lucy Potter was a bright, sensible and devoted young witch to the principles   
   and laws of magic, and after meeting her cousin Harry for a great encounter in   
   which they battled Voldemort and won a fortune, Lucy was now starting to look   
   even greater into    
   learning her crafte with skill and adeptness.  And so, with permission from   
   her mother Caroline, and with the newfound wealth she had won, she did the   
   boldest of things and applied for entrance into Hogwarts school of Witchcraft   
   and Wizardry in England,    
   to undertake her fourth year's magic studies.   
       
   The past few years had been quite an intense rush of magic and mayhem.  First   
   she had battled Lucifer Malfoy, who had ultimately dishonoured her, fought   
   Voldemort and his death-eaters, and then uncovered the mystery of the missing   
   hammer of the Chakolan    
   sprites.  All in all, a quite and very busy time for young miss Lucy.   
       
   And then, Redaxxiel, and the time of her life in New York.   
      
   But now a new challenge beckoned - Hogwarts - perhaps the most esteemed magic   
   school in the world.   
       
   She knew she would meet new friends, make new acquaintances, and have new   
   challenges - but that was the exciting thing about being a witch.  You never   
   exactly knew just what would happen next.   
       
   And so, faring Madalene, her best friend, and all her family fare well, she   
   came about the aeroplane at Canberra airport, en route to Sydney, and then off   
   to Heathrow in England.  And then, Hogwarts, and a new beginning for Lucy   
   Potter.   
       
   Chapter One   
       
   Lucas Malfoy sat in his chair, on the flight from Sydney to London, thinking   
   over his latest meeting with his brother Lucifer.  They were triplets, Lucas,   
   Lucifer and Lucius, proud bastions of House Malfoy.  Of course, Lucius had   
   disgraced himself    
   recently with the vanquishing of Voldemort, who had inevitably returned, and   
   Lucifer was as bad as he had ever been.  It seemed it had always been down to   
   Lucas to be the redeeming member, somewhat, of the Malfoy clan.   
       
   He resided, usually, in America, with his wife and children, but occasionally   
   visited his other family members in the vain hope of passing onto them   
   valuable lessons in morality and decency, seemingly forgotten by the family   
   over recent generations.  Too    
   much black magic is all he ever thought on that subject.   
       
   They were a few hours out of Sydney, enjoying a meal, when he noticed the   
   young lady seated next to him with what could only be a magic book of spells.   
   'Hello, fair maiden. What, may I ask, are you reading?'   
   'Oh, gosh. Hello. I am sorry I didn't introduce myself. I'm Lucy. Lucy Potter.'   
   'Mmm. Well. Small world. Lucifer mentioned you.'   
   Lucy looked at the stranger more carefully, and suddenly noticed he was the   
   spitting image of Lucifer. 'Oh, God. You look exactly like the freak.'   
   'We're triplets. Myself, Lucius, and Lucifer. I am Lucas Malfoy. Hopefully the   
   redeeming member of the Malfoy clan.'   
   'I forgive you,' she said smiling.   
   'What is the book?'   
   'Oh, one of Shelandraghs. It's on magic.'   
   'Shelandragh May?'   
   'You know her.'   
   'Again, small world,' he responded.   
   She laughed a little. 'Its on Gems. The power of Gems. I'm studying the   
   Aquamarine. That's my favourite.'   
   Lucas smiled. That was his favourite as well.   
   'Do you know her?' he asked.   
   'Who?' she responded.   
   'The elemental. Aquamarine.'   
   'Who is Aquamarine?'   
   'The elementals are one of the powers of this universe. And there are a   
   number. A great number. They teach ascension.'   
   'What's ascension?' she asked him innocently.   
   'A far better way of life as far as I am concerned,' said Lucas, looking up at   
   the inflight TV reporting on a religious terrorist groups recent activity.'   
   Lucy looked at the TV. 'I've noticed that. Why can't we just get along, you   
   know. Have love for each other. Have grace for each other.'   
   'The Earthmother teaches such things,' said Lucas.   
   'Who's she?' asked Lucy.   
   'Someone who I would love to introduce to you one day,' responded Lucas   
   Malfoy, and gazed once more up at the TV set.

   'Yenwah has consistently been bugging me, Daniel. Isn't it about time you   
   talked to her.'   
   'Him, you mean,' responded Wizard in training, Daniel Daly, from house   
   Hufflepuff.   
   'HIM!!!'   
   'Well, actually, an hermaphrodite if you want to know the truth. Yen is a   
   craazy lady. I listen. She tells me about Aurora all day long, and that my   
   Yahweh obsession has gone on far too long as far as civilized members of the   
   Ascended ones are concerned.'   
   'And you don't agree with them'   
   'My spirit man from the realm of understanding ascended when I was 16, ok. I   
   am well aware of advanced Ascension knowledge. Gabriel fills me in constantly.'   
   'Reptillian servant,' she commented.   
   'Perhaps. Perhaps Yahweh is a magnificent delusion the world is under.'   
   'They are only muggles,' she said.   
   'So was I,' he responded.   
   'Yes. But the Golden Torc around your neck has awoken your truly magnificent   
   abilities. You always had unbridalled power. You were just too conditioned by   
   your upbringing to recognize your gifts. You need to express yourself and your   
   heart. Not repress    
   yourself.'   
   'Yes Madonna,' he said sarcastically.   
   'Huh?' she asked him.   
   'Nothing,' he replied.   
      
   They sat their quietly, returning to their magic books. Daniel, when he had   
   recently purchased a golden torc from an ancient magic store in the heart of   
   Sydney, had put it on, and suddenly come alive to magical power. And then   
   Yenwah had started speaking    
   to him, and she hadn't shut up since. He was bugged. A faithful Karaite   
   Noahide and then, suddenly, overloaded with a new faith, and endless emails   
   from Lucas Malfoy on why he should first get to Hogwarts, and then visit him   
   in America and come to    
   Earthlove, where thousands were following Ascension. He was trying to avoid   
   it, he was faithful to God, but a stronger spirit had become involved, and he   
   knew he was losing the battle.   
      
   'Your a bright spark,' said Yenwah suddenly.   
   'Very funny,' responded Daniel.   
   'Hello Yenwah,' said Lucy.   
   'Do you want me to manifest. Your old enough in the gifts now.'   
   'If you must,' responded Daniel.   
   For the first time Yenwah apeared. And the long hair and feminine looks seemed   
   to settle the issue.   
   'A MAN?' she demanded.   
   'Uh, sorry,' said Daniel.   
   'So you should be,' she responded.   
      
   'Are you ready for a challenge? Both of you?'   
   'Uh, sure,' said Daniel.
