Looking up at the familiar manor I remember visiting as a child. It seemed darker now. The snatchers were dragging us to the gate. Scabior was leading Harry and I. I see Bellatrix on the other side, peering at us. Scabior pushes Harry against the gate, for Bellatrix to see, revealing his scar.

Bellatrix looks at Harry, then at me, then Harry again "Get Draco." she says to one of the other people who was nearby.

All of us were lead into the manner, Harry now in the clutches of Bellatrix. The Malfoy's in the sitting room we were dragged into. Seeing Narcissa again made me feel a little calm. Bellatrix separates Harry from the rest of us. Showing him to the others, gripping his hair so that he was facing all of us. "Well?" she asks Draco.

Bellatrix looked very eager, with her wand at Harry's throat. "I can't... I can't be sure." Draco says.

Lucius walks up to Draco, whispering something in his ear as he looks back, glancing at me, almost nervously. "Now, we won't be forgetting who actually caught him, I hope, Mr. Malfoy?" Scabior says loudly, walking away from the snatcher group.

"You dare to talk to me like that, In My Own House!" Lucius shouts at the man.

Narcissa was quick to go to his side, "Lucius." she scold him quietly, but I notice, being much to accustom to this situation of Lucius losing his temper with someone, and her trying to calm him. She guides him away from Draco.

"Don't be shy, sweetie. Get up nice and close." Bellatrix tells Draco, guiding him closer to Harry. Draco kneels in front of Harry, "Now, if this isn't who we think it is, Draco, and we call him, he'll kill us all. We need to be absolutley sure." Bellatrix tells him.

"What's wrong with his face?" Draco questions.

"Yes, What is wrong with his face, Scabior?" Bellatrix asks the man.

"He came to us that way. I reckon he picked it up in the forest." Scabior tells her with a shrug.

"Or ran into a Stinging Jinx." Bellatrix muses, looking between the three of us, "Was it you, dearie?" she asks looking at me, then looks to Hermione, "Or maybe you. Give me their wands. We'll see what the last spell was." she says, pointing to both of us .

Bellatrix cackles, as she walks past us, as we're moved out of her way, "Got You..." she cackles at Hermione, once she has her wand. I glance at her and see that her eyes were wide. She gave herself away. Then Bellatrix gasps at one of the snatchers who was holding the sword.

"What is that? Where did you get that from?" Bellatrix questions the snatcher.

"It was in her bag when we searched her. Reckon it's mine now." The snatcher smiles, but Bellatrix hits him with a spell, grabbing the sword as he flew back. And she hits the snatchers that was holding us, causing them to fall. Narcissa was quick to hold her wand up at us. I look at her, silently begging her not to harm us, but she just looks at me sadly. 

Bellatrix turns, hitting Greyback with a spell, causing him unable to fight her as he was being strangled, "Are you mad!" Scabior shouts at her. But she just hits him with a spell causing him to fall on his back as she makes her wand into a whip, choking him.

"Go. GO!" she shouts at them, causing all the snatchers to flee the manor. As the three of us stood in fear, back against the wall. She walks over to us, grabbing Ron and I pushing us away from Hermione. "Wormtail. Put these three in the cellar. I want to have a little conversation with this one. Girl to girl." Bellatrix says.

Narcissa drags us over to Harry, her wand still pointing at us as she has us go towards Wormtail. "Narcissa please. Don't let her hurt Hermione. Please." I plead quietly with her.

"I'm sorry Rosie, this is out of my hands." she tells me. And Wormtail drags us away, down to the cellar, locking us in.

"What're we going to do? We can't just leave Hermione alone with her!" Ron says panicked.

"You think I don't know that. I don't want her getting hurt either." I say, pacing now very worried and very stressed.

"Ron? Rose? Harry...?" Luna's voice fills the room.

Ron uses his deluminator to light a candle, showing Luna further into the room. "Luna?" Harry questions.

I rush over to her and hug her, which she returns, "Thank the stars you're okay." I say, releasing her to get a better look at her, seeing her not hurt that badly.

Hermione's screams fill the air, causing me to look up in concern, "We have to do something!" Ron says, his voice full of worry.

"There's no way out. We've tried everything." Ollivander tells him sadly, as her screams fade for a second, "It's enchanted." he continues.

Hermione's screams return, Harry bends down and removes a piece of mirror from his sock, and puts on his glasses. "You're bleeding, Harry. That's a curious thing to keep in your sock." Luna points out. And Harry goes into a corner looking into the mirror shard.

Hermione's scream get louder, and someone begins to walk down the cellar steps, Ron removes the light the same way as he added it before the person could notice. Ron rushes the door, "Let her go." he says angrily at Wormtail.

But Wormtail retaliates by raising his wand, "Shut it! You. Goblin. Come with me." he says, to Griphook, who I recognize from the bank. He listens and they go back up the stairs, locking us in again.

Ron adds light again, and then Dobby appears. "Dobby. What're you doing here?" Harry questions, confused like the rest of us.

"Dobby has come to rescue Harry Potter, of course. Dobby will always be there for Harry Potter." Dobby tells him.

"Do you mean to say you can Apparate in and out of here? And take us with you?" Harry asks.

"Of course. I'm an elf." Dobby  explains as if it was obvious.

"Works for me." Ron says.

"Same here." I agree.

"Right. Dobby, I want you to take Luna and Mr. Ollivander to-" Harry begins to instruct but Ron cuts in.

"Shell Cottage on the outskirts of Tinworth." he tells Dobby, and looks to Harry and I. "Trust me." he tells us.

"Whenever you're ready, sir." Luna tells Dobby sweetly.

"Sir.. Oh, I like her very much." he says, grabbing on to Luna and Ollivander's hands, before looking at us, "Meet me at the top of the stairs in ten seconds." he instructs us, then disappears with the others.

Top of the stair in ten seconds? How are we supposed to do that? The footsteps grabs our attention. Wormtail was coming back. We rush to either side of the door. I go on the side Ron was on, as we wait for him to open the door.
