 At the end of the story, as Nicodemus and his minions lay siege to the Carpenter house, Harry desperately throws the hilt of "Fidelacchius" - a Sword of the Cross, inadvertently broken earlier by Karrin Murphy - and it is caught by Butters.The hilt manifests a blade of pure white light, similar to a lightsaber, and cuts through Nicodemus' sword and prompts Nicodemus and his men to flee.Butters becomes a Knight of the Cross, with Michael and Charity Carpenter offering to train him, and jokes about holding the position even though he is Jewish.
