NPC: Christina Dunstan, Improper Use of Magic Office
Hiding silently behind her desk, just barely out of sight, heart racing, Christina Dunstan watched the Death Eater leave Mafalda's office, exiting through the main room and into the hallway, where he could be going anywhere.
Unsure if he would return, or if others would come, she waited for several moments that felt like an eternity. Then, and only then, did she stand up, slowly and carefully. The last one in her office, she decided that danger or not she had an obligation to see if her Head of Office was alright. So she went over to her office.
Admitting to herself that she was terrified of what she might see, Christina turned the knob. She had the impression of darkness and blood and laughter before she heard Mafalda's voice say, clearly and almost cheerfully, "AVADA KEDAVRA", and her vision was filled with a flash of green light.
Astonished to find herself alive after those words, Christina looked at the scene in front of her. Mafalda's wand was stabbed into her chest, blood pooling on the floor. Her eyes were glazed over, and she appeared to be smiling blissfully, as if she could not imagine ever being happier. She was also very definitely dead.
Quickly deciding that she did not want to be associated with whatever events had occured there, she closed the door slowly, and, hoping for good luck, returned to hiding behind her desk. Coming out of her first real encounter with Death Eaters, she was far more terrified than she had been before, although her personal danger was probably substantially less now.
