Bellatrix sends him down.

Ollivander lies motionless, exactly where they left him yesterday. Draco wonders if he's dead.

Even in the darkness, Draco's knuckles, wrapped around the bars, glow white. He looks up and discovers Luna Lovegood inches away, staring at him.

"We're going to get out," she says, as if offering reassurance. Her hand closes around his. "Harry will come for us."

Draco snatches his hand away. Bellatrix's curse is on the tip of his tongue and, in his mind, the memory of its golden light winding itself around Ollivander's throat.

Luna shrugs. "Maybe you'll even be ready. Someday."
