Rabastan was an artful killer. He didn’t leave bodies strewn haplessly in his wake the way so many other Death Eaters did. He appreciated the beauty of murder, and he did everything he could to display that beauty. So it was that on Christmas Eve, when he was called upon to kill yet another Auror, he put a bit of festive spirit into it. When the Auror’s body was found by his family on Christmas day, it was lying neatly across the hearth in front of the fire, with a large red bow, and a note that read Happy Christmas.
