Bellatrix Lestrange had been watching Neville's movements all along. The moment Neville threw the longsword, she cast a spell at him. "Shattering Boom!"
A vortex burst from the tip of her wand, its howling winds trailing blurred spirals as it collided with the speeding longsword in the blink of an eye;
