Bellatrix and the snatchers took them into a living room. The Malfoys and more Death Eaters waited inside. But while Draco inspected Harry to see if it really was him, Bellatrix had Lauren thrown in the cellar. Lauren felt her blood being replaced by pure anger when she was pulled down there by Peter Pettigrew. As soon as he locked the door behind her she grabbed the bars and growled as if she was a rabid animal. 

"Get back here and fight me!"she yelled after him. "Come on you filthy prat! Afraid of losing to a 15 year-old? WELL YOU SHOULD BE!"she laughed manically. 

"Lauren?"a familiar voice called from the corner of the cellar. Lauren turned to see Luna Lovegood. 

"Luna? What are you doing here?"she asked. 

"What are any of us doing here," another voice said. A voice that Lauren hadn't heard in years. 

"Mr. Ollivander?"she said in disbelief. 

"Unfortunately. I must say Ms. Black, you've made quite the name for yourself. I like to think that you're mother would be proud." he replied. Before she could respond, the cellar door opened again and Harry and Ron were thrown in. Lauren lunged towards Wormtail but Harry held her back. Wormtail locked the door behind him. 

"My offer still stands!"Lauren shouted at him. "I'd love the opportunity to rip your selfish face right off!" A scream followed and Ron went pale. He ran towards the door and yanked futility at the bars 

"HERMIONE!"he bellowed. Lauren went pale.

 "What are they doing to her?"she asked coldly. Harry shook his head and reached down, pulling something out of his sock as Ron continued to yell. 

"That's a curious thing to keep in your sock," Luna observed. "And I must say Lauren you have a way with words." Lauren barely heard the comment. 

"Not my best curse" she admitted. "Spineless niffler will always be my favorite though." Harry held up the object, a piece of glass.

 "Help us,"he begged to it. Before Lauren could ask, Wormtail came back and took a goblin upstairs. 

"Yea you better run while you still can. I'm gonna turn your intestines into a scarf!"Lauren yelled. Suddenly, Dobby appeared.

 "Dobby?"Harry and Lauren said in unison. 

"Hello!"he said cheerfully. It clicked in Lauren's head at the same time as Harry's. 

"You can apparate in and out of here?"

 "Of course miss. I'm an elf." he responded. Harry and Lauren exchanged a glance. 

"Okay, Dobby, I want you to take Luna and Mr. Ollivander and take them to..." Harry trailed off. 

"Take them to the outskirts of the countryside."Ron supplied. Dobby nodded and took their hands. 

"Meet me at the top of the stairs in ten seconds." he insisted. With that, he left. 

Wormtail came downstairs again and opened the door. But then, he was hit from behind and he fell to the floor, un-moving. Harry Ron and Lauren looked up to see Dobby standing at the top of the stairs. 

"Who gets his wand?" the elf asked. Lauren grinned at the elf. 

"Dobby,"she asked in awe. "has anyone ever told you that you're the greatest elf in the entire world?" Dobby shook his head. "Well,"she said with a grin. "You definitely are." 

"Thank you," Dobby replied. Before they left, Lauren glanced at Wormtail's still form, stepped back, and kicked him as hard as she could. As they left she shot a spell at him over her shoulder. Have fun being magenta for the next few weeks, she thought happily.  The three rushed upstairs to see Bellatrix torturing Hermione. They stormed the Death Eaters and attacked. Lauren lashed out with her dagger. 

"Stop!"a voice shouted. Lauren turned to see Bellatrix holding a knife to Hermione's throat. 

"Put down your wands,"Bellatrix commanded. Ron dropped his instantly and Lauren reluctantly followed with Harry. She kept her knife though. Draco picked up the wands and stood to the side. A creaking sound started in the room and Lauren bit back a laugh when she saw Dobby sitting on the chandelier, unscrewing it. It dropped to the ground and Bellatrix and Hermione broke apart with a yell. Hermione ran towards them and Ron caught her. Harry seized the chance and grabbed the wands from Malfoy. They backed up together with Dobby behind them as Bellatrix yelled. 

"Stupid elf! You could've killed me!"she shouted angrily. 

"Dobby never meant to kill,"he insisted innocently. "Dobby only meant to maim or seriously injure." Lauren stifled a laugh as Bellatrix gasped. 

"How dare you defy your masters?" Dobby clenched his fist. 

"Dobby has no master." he declared. "Dobby is a free elf and he has come to save Harry Potter and his friends!" With that, they all grabbed hands and apparated. Just as Bellatrix Lestrange threw her knife.
