had
the sword they had the cup. So where he put the cup before then is  unknown.



That is certainly a possibility.  However, IMO Harry’s explanation to  Ron 
and Hermione as to why LV would have wanted it kept in Gringott’s has the  
feeling of something that had already happened before he was vaporized pre 
PS. 
 
LV had no reason to remove the Cup from wherever he had hidden it to give  
to Bella to deposit in the vault with the fake sword because (unless he had 
only  very recently made the Cup into a horcrux, which I doubt.  As DD says 
in  HBP: “ However, if my calculations are correct, Voldemort was still at 
least one  horcrux short of his goal of six when he entered your parents 
house with the  intention of killing you. . . . .I am sure that he was intending 
to make his  final horcrux with your death.”) He had no idea anyone knew he 
had made the  horcruxes let alone that three of them were destroyed and 
that HRH were on the  trail of the remaining horcruxes.  
 
As far as Bellatrix’ reaction is concerned, she could have just made the  
connection: “wow LV gave me the sword to keep safe just like he gave me that 
cup  17+ years ago.  They both must be very important” and when she sees the 
 sword her mind leaps back to the Cup and she panics.
