Astoria had just flooed into the main foyer of the Ministry. She had a meeting with a person in the Muggle department. The purpose of the meeting was to interview them about things within the Muggle world for her character. It seemed Maria would be hiding out in Muggle London for awhile trying to hide her pregnancy and as such, Astoria needed a bit more information so she could feel the character.
As she made her way through the other individuals going about their daily business she felt something knock into her foot. Looking down, she saw a rouge wand which she immediately bent down to pick up. When she retrieved the item, she glanced around to see if she could figure out to whom it belonged.
