"Lily Potter, isn't it?"
The red-haired women squirmed against her restraints, grimaced, and said, "Yes, that's me. What do you want?"
"I assume you're going to tell me what a Mudblood like yourself was doing, sneaking into the Dark Lord's lair?"
"Dead first," Lily spat.
A ragged-looking man stepped out of the shadows. "Well, if that's the way you prefer it," he chuckled darkly.
Lily pondered her options of escape. It seemed almost hopeless, unless he would untie her for a second so that she could sprint off. That seemed like her best bet.
But then a familiar figure burst into the room and silently shot a stunning spell at the Death Eater. The man fell to the floor unconscious.
"Avery, you're nothing but trouble," said Bellatrix. She turned to her chained up friend. "Thank goodness you're alive, Lily," said Bellatrix. "We've been worried sick!"
Lily sighed with relief. "How'd you get here? I thought it was maximum security."
"I got here the same way as you did. Invisibility Charm. You aren't the only one who knows how to use them, you know," Bellatrix teased. She then whisked Lily's protruding wand from Avery's pocket and took out her own. "Alohomora."
Lily's chains came undone. Bellatrix then handed Lily's wand back to its owner.
"Now, we run," said Bellatrix, pulling Lily to her feet.
