A narrow escape from Malfoy manor

"Help us! We're in the cellar of Malfoy Manor, help us!"
--Harry Potter, to the shard of mirror (DH23)

A narrow escape from Malfoy manor

Narcissa brings the captives into the drawing room so Draco can positively identify Harry. He does so reluctantly and half-heartedly, but before the Dark Lord is summoned Bellatrix tortures Hermione and Griphook for information about the Sword of Gryffindor. During the torture Harry and Ron are brought to the cellar where they find Mr. Ollivander and Luna have been kept prisoner.  Dobby arrives to help everyone to safety. Harry and Ron escape the cellar because of Wormtail’s hesitation which enables them to surprise the people in the drawing room.  Harry and Draco wrestle over a handful of wands, Dobby drops a chandelier on the scene, then Harry, Ron, Hermione, Griphook and Dobby disapparate to Shell Cottage, but not before Bellatrix throws her silver dagger.
