Wormtail prods Cayden, Harry and Ron down the steep flight of stairs and slams the door.
Ron throws himself against it, turning to Cayden and Harry. "What're we going to do? We can't just leave Hermione alone with her!"
"Ron? Harry...?" A familiar voice called out from the shadows.
Cayden and Harry peers into the small, shadowy space below, seeing movement from the shadow. "Luna...?" They questioned, squinting their eyes.
Ron, Deluminator in hand, sends a ball of light across the darkness and a gaslight blooms faintly.
Luna's pale face floats forward, hovering vaguely. "You two look strange, Cayden and Harry." She said. "Mr. Ollivander, look who's here. It's Cayden and Harry Potter."
Cayden looks past Luna and sees Griphook standing in the shadows. Next to him, sitting slumped against the wall, is the wandmaker Ollivander, looking frail. His chin lifts slightly, runny eyes glimmering against the light as he studies Harry's swollen face.
"Hello, sir." Harry said.
Ollivander falters, his face troubled.
Cayden eyes him curiously, when Bellatrix's voice echoes through the vent.
"I'm going to ask you once again: what else did you and your friends take from my vault!" Bellatrix exclaimed, talking with Hermione.
"I told you. I don't know what you're talking--" Hermione's words were suddenly cut off by her own scream.
Ron slams his fist against the wall, turning to look at them. "We have to do something!"
"There's no way out. We've tried everything." Ollivander said.
"You're bleeding, Harry." Luna said, pointing downward.
Harry removes his glasses from his pocket, slips them on and peers at his sock, where blood has soaked through. Harry reaches down, pulling the sock away from his ankle, revealing a small gash and the mirror shard.
"That's a curious thing to hide in your sock." Luna said.
Taking the shard, Harry turns the silvery side towards himself-- and for a split second-- the eye seems to flicker there again. Harry wipes away the film of blood, but the eye is gone.
"You were hiding it, weren't you?" Luna asked.
Before Harry can respond, Hermione screams again. Pained by this, Harry debates something, then peers into the mirror. "Help us."
The others study him curiously, then footsteps sound. Ron clicks the Deluminator and the room goes dark. The cellar door squeals open and Wormtail's silhouette appears in a shaft of light. Ron rushes forward, but Wormtail stops him with a gesture of his wand.
"Let her go! Let her go!" Ron exclaimed.
"Shut it! You. Goblin. Come with me." Wormtail said.
As Griphook mounts the stairs he turns, eyeing Harry curiously, then Wormtail grabs his arm and slams shut the door.
Ron clicks the Deluminator again and as the light returns, Dobby materializes before them with a crack.
"Dobby. What're you doing here?" Harry questioned, looking down at Dobby.
"Dobby has come to rescue Cayden and Harry Potter, of course." Dobby answered.
Everyone stares, stunned. Harry stares in similar amazement at the mirror glittering in his palm.
"Do you mean to say you can Apparate in and out of here? And take us with you?" Harry asked, as Cayden's features slowly change back into his original features one by one, his clothes changing back as well.
