Marlene hadn't liked her assignment. She knew that it was because Alastor trusted her. She understood the reasoning, but it didn't make her like it. She wanted to fight next to Alastor and Kingsley. She wanted to be near them and keep an eye on both of them. After losing Emmeline, she didn't want to lose Kingsley and she couldn't even imagine living without Alastor, but she didn't complain and did her job.
There was no playing on that field. Every hex had to count, keeping the Death Eaters inside the perimeter, killing them, because wounding them was too dangerous. She didn't think the D man would have approved, but he wasn't there and someone else gave the orders, and Marlene followed orders.
She didn't use the killing curse, but she knew plenty of spells that killed with the right amount of power and precision. She cast them, clearing the path, trying to protect the weaker fighters, but no amount of training made you invisible or all knowing.
When it came, it wasn't a duel, but several Death Eaters cast a series of blasting curses at once and all hell broke loose with rocks and branches flying everywhere, people too. Marlene went flying in the air, hitting her head on a rock as she fell on the ground and then everything went blank
