Hermione stated this and I presume it is common knowledge, but again,

mhbobbin:

In the Ministry of Magic battle, Bellatrix says to LV, when he 
appears near the fountain, "He is here. He is below"  (Chapter 36, 
scholastic page 812). While LV continues in his purpose, and has the 
battle with Harry and DD, Bellatrix apparently confirms to us that 
she believes that LV should be concerned that DD was at the MoM.  
It's hard to imagine anyone else she could be referring to in that 
line, in that context.
