"Bombarda maxima!" came the cry from the direction of the stairs and the cellar door Ron must have locked (as it had been standing open when Lucius brought her down here) burst across the room.  "Expelliarmus!" Ron’s wand flung out of his hand and into the darkness as Corban and Draco came to her side, Severus and Narcissa and Scabior directly behind them.  She had never been so relieved to see anyone in her life, and she flung her arms around Corban’s neck.  He was wearing a sleep shirt and his usually braided hair was loose and tousled.
