Bellatrix took a step back as the weapon disappeared and the man turned away. Her hand went to her throat, unconsciously checking for a scratch. It had come so close she swore she could feel it grazing her skin.
She'd been made a fool of, in front of all assembled. She set her shoulders and took a deep breath. The man wouldn't dare kill her, he hadn't the first time after all.
And yet she couldn't bring herself to raise her wand at his retreating back, not with the other one still watching her. She couldn't react faster than them, she couldn't cast faster than he moved.
He'd come out of nowhere, she hadn't even finished the spell before he was there.
