Now that they were captured, the Snatchers planned to take them all to Malfoy Manor. The place where the Death-eaters Forced her in her previous life . . .




Chapter 21: Deathly Hallows part 5: Malfoy Manor

Once inside, Bellatrix Le Strange tried to get Draco Malfoy to identify Harry, but his face was too swollen for him to be sure. Their wands and the Sword of Gryffindor were taken from them. Bellatrix wanted some girl time with Hermione and the rest were taken down and locked in the dungeon.

Down there, they found Mister Olivander, the Wandmaker and a goblin named Griphook. They could hear the screams of Hermione being tortured overhead.

This was triggering Luna as she had made similar sounds the first time they’s Forced her. She sat on the floor and curled up into a feotal position as shivers wracked her body.

“We’ve got to do something!” pleaded Harry.

“What can we do, locked down here,” replied Ron.

Harry responded by pulling a fragment of a mirror out of his mokeskin pouch around his neck. Luna had often seen him playing with it, but thought he was practicing scrying.

“Are sure you w-w-want see w-w-what they are d-d-doing to Hermione?” asked Luna.

“We need help!” pleaded Harry.

Just then, a man with a silver arm came down the stairs.

“We need the goblin,” said wormtail, as he opened the gate, keeping them at wand-point until the goblin was out.

After the death-eater and goblin had gone, a house-elf appeared.

“Dobby is hear to help!” proclaimed the House-elf.

“Can you apparate us away?” asked Harry.

“Dobby can do for master Harry Potter and his friends!” replied Dobby.

“First we have to rescue Hermione,” ordered Harry. “Then we’ll . . . where do we go?”

“Shell Cottage,” offered Ron. It’s my brother’s house.”

“Right, take Luna and mister Olivander first,” ordered Harry.

“I’m staying with you!” said Luna as she rose to her feet and took off her headband.

“But we don’t even have wands,” protested Harry.

“I have my sling,” replied Luna, as she dug a stone out of her pocket and loaded her sling.

Dobby took Olivander away and returned at the top of the stairs, where he stunned Wormtail and unlocked the gate. Harry took his wand and they changed up the stairs.

‘Expeliamus!” Harry cast a disarming charm at Lucius Malfoy and caught his wand, passing it to Ron.

“Acio our wands!” cried Luna, as she hit Narssisa Malfoy in the shoulder with a sling stone, causing Mrs. Malfoy to drop her wand.

Catching her’s and Hermione’s she pocketed them and prepared to use her sling again as they all gathered together. As Dobby apparated them away, Luna hit Bellatrix in the face with a stone, throwing off her aim as the dark Witch tried to throw a dagger at them. Instead, the dagger went up towards the ceiling as they went away.

They appeared on a beach, Harry, Hermione, Ron, Luna, Griphook and Dobby. And no one was hurt.

At nearby Shell Cottage, the were welcomed by Bill and Fleur Weasley. They were there for a couple of weeks recovering before a they got the goblin to agree to help them get into Bellatrix Lestrange’s vault.

“Why don’t you simply have Dobby take you there?” asked Luna.

“Dobby is happy to help master Harry Potter’s loveygood!” gushed Dobby, after appearing when his name was mentioned.

“You can not enter a client’s vault without the proper key,” scolded Griphook.

“That’s not entirely true,” corrected Bill Weasley. “The Bank has a master key that allows them to check for irregularities in a vault.”

“But I do not have the master key,” replied Griphook.

“But you could get it, couldn’t you?” asked Hermione.

“Impossible! I will not be a party to violating a client’s vault,” growled Griphook.

“What if we were offer you the return of the Sword of Gryffindor?” offered Harry.

“We need it to destroy the horcrux in Hufflepuff’s Cup,” reminded Luna. “The return of the Sword should be AFTER we have used it in the vault, not as soon as the vault is opened.”

“Right. Do we have a deal?” asked Harry, offering his hand.

“The deal is accepted,” said Griphook as he took Harry by the hand.

After this, it was a simple matter for Dobby to return Griphook to Gringott’s before returning to take Harry, Hermione, Ron and Luna to just outside the Lestrange vault. Soon Griphook arrived and let them in. After they destroyed the Cup, Harry handed the sword to Griphook. But Ron bumped against the cup and soon it began multiplying. They were able to get out in the nick of time before Griphook closed the vault.

They were preparing to ride with Griphook back up to the lobby when Harry suddenly collapsed to his knees.

“What is it?” asked Hermione.

“Volde- . . . Tom . . . he’s very angry!” gasped Harry. “He’s found out about the missing horcruxes. . . . He’s going to Hogwarts! One of them is there!”

Dobby was able to pop them to the room of requirement, where they became embroiled in a fight with Draco Malfoy, Crabb, Goyle and Nott. Fiendfire was let loose and burned everything in the room. The surviving junior Death-eaters fled, allowing Harry and his friends to Link up with Neville Longbottom and his partisans. There was a big fight, first amongst the students, then between the light-sided students and death-eaters. There were many deaths on both sides.

Ginny was dodging and shielding herself as Bellatrix rained a rapid-fire series of spells at her.

“Not my daughter, you bitch!” screamed Molly Weasley, as she started casting spells at Bellatrix.

Luna, who had been using her bow to shoot at foes that were too far away to easily hit with a spell, had her attention drawn to this by Molly’s yell. She notched an arrow, drew and released. She had been aiming for Bellatrix’s chest. Instead, the dark Witch blocked it with her wand arm, which now had an arrow halfway through it. This was just enough a distraction to allow Molly to finish off Bellatrix.

The rest of the battle went much how Luna remembered it. The Riddler pulled back and asked Harry to offer himself to be killed, which Harry did. But then came back to life and defeated you-know-who.

Afterwards, after they had taken care of the wounded and buried the dead. Harry took the wand he had won from Tom, excavated Dumbledore’s grave and placed the wand in it. Back in the Great Hall a celebratory party was taking place.

“So, now that the war is over, what will you do now?” asked Luna.

“If we can repair the school, I want to go back, finish 7th year and take my N.E.W.T.s.” replied Hermione.

“Now that it’s safe, I was thinking of returning too,” agreed Luna. “Harry?”

“Well . . . if you two are going to be here, I have to stay with you too,” replied Harry.

“I might was well stay too,” added Ron.
