Bellatrix walked over to where Ron lay bleeding and in pain. She grabbed his hair and pulled his face up to hers.

"I know your lying, you filthy blood traitor scum" said Bellatrix then she flung Rons head hard off the ground "and I know it!".

"You have been inside my vault at Gringotts!" her voice grew in volume and her face flooded with angrier "Tell the truth, tell the truth! CRUCIO!"

Hermione's tears fell faster and harder as she saw Rons body turn and fly against the stone wall, I was with such force that the room shook.

Bellatrix walked backward towards a small table to the left of Hermione. She picked up a small silver knife and said "What else did you take? What else have you got? Tell me the truth or, I swear, I will run you threw with this knife, CRUCIO!"

Rons limp body lifted of the ground and slammed against the stone wall again. Hermione screamed at the site of Ron's body, and all the blood on his face and clothed.

"What else did you take, what else ANSWER ME CRUCIO!" Ron screams echoed off the walled again. Hermione closed her pink puffed up eyes, seeing Ron in pain was too much for her to handle.

"How did you get into my vault?" Bellatrix screamed in rage "Did that dirty little goblin in the cellar help you"

"We only met him tonight" Ron muttered "We've never been in your vault…it isn't the real sward! It's a copy, just a copy!"

"A copy" screeched Bellatrix. "Oh, a likely story! Crucio"

"But we can find out easily!" came Lucius's Malfoy's voice. "Draco, fetch the goblin, he can tell us whether the sward is real or not!"

Hermiones eyes widened at the same time Rons eyes lifted to find hers, when he did he saw that her eyes were pink and blotchy. Hermione stared at Ron and he stared back he could see there was fear and hurt in her eyes, he then half smiled and his eyes rolled back into his head.

"No" Hermione whispered then she the tears started to fall again.

A moment later Draco entered the room again dragging a very tiered and weak looking goblin by the upper arm. He flung Griphook to the floor.

"Well" Bellatrix said hitting the small goblin on the back of the head. "Is it the true sword?"

"No" said Griphook. "It is a fake."

"Are you sure?" panted Bellatrix. "Quite sure?"

"Yes" said the goblin.

Bellatrix relief flooded across Bellatrix cold dark face. "I think" Bellatrix began "We can dispose of the blood traitor. Greyback take him if you want him".

Hermiones head snapped up and she screamed "Noooooo!" But as she tried to crawl across the floor to get to Ron another set of foot steps came from behind her. Hermione turned her head to see harry running toward Bellatrix.

"Expelliarmus!" Harry roared pointing wormtail's wand at Bellatrix, her wand flew out her hand, Harry caught it and rolled it across the flood to Hermione who picked it up.

Hermione was walking over to Ron but Bellatrix grabbed Ron by the hair and pulled him up in front of her. "STOP OR HE DIES!" Bellatrix hissed placing her small silver knife under Ron neck. Hermione froze. "Drop your wands," Bellatrix whispered "Drop them unless you want to see your little friend's blood all over my floor!" Hermione and Harry looked at each other still holding a wand in their hand. "I said drop them" Bellatrix said.

Bellatrix began to move the knife across Ron neck when Harry shouted "All right!". Then he and Hermione dropped their wands at their feet.

"Good" Bellatrix Said with a smile. "Draco pick them up! The Dark Lord is coming, Harry Potter! Your death approaches". Just as Draco picked the wands up there was a grinding noise from above. Hermione look at Harry In confusion and fear but harry mouthed "its ok". At that same moment the crystal chandelier that hung directly over where Bellatrix was standing with Ron began to fall Bellatrix dropped Ron and jumped aside with a scream.

Harry ran over to where Draco was standing a pulled the two wands he collected a few moments before pulse Draco's. When Harry was doing that Hermione ran over to where Ron was laying and tried to pull him free from the wreckage.

"Dobby must save harry potter and his friends" Dobby the elf said walking into the room.

"Dobby!" Bellatrix Screamed Dobby nodded/ "KILL HIM" She roared. Then Dobby Disapparated and appeared next to Hermione who now had one of Rons arm around her trying to pick him up. Harry grabbed a groaning Griphook from under the chandelier, harry the took Dobby's hand to Disapparate.
