Benjamin writhed and groaned. His sword was caught underneath him, the hilt deep in the small of his back. Harry hauled the sword-belt off at last and gripped at Benjamin's wrists. He began to struggle again. ""Do not be troublesome or I'll tap the beer on your brain. So."" He hauled the belt taut about the fighting arms and made all fast.
