Penelope watched as her friends were carried off. She was now somewhat alone. She walked quickly behind a low stone wall, away from the others. She collapsed to her knees and began to sob uncontrollably, her body wracking back and forth. Tears streamed from her face. Glenn might still die, she had seem William killed right before her eyes, as she had seen many of her friends laying dead in the aftermath of the battle. She had even gone further than she ever thought she would go. She had killed two wizards this night, one with an unforgivable curse. She had gone a step further than she had ever thought possible. Not only had she used the curse, but it worked. She wanted the wizard to die. Shortly after she composed herself, dabbing her eyes. Her mascara had run in an obscene way. She stood and soon after disapparated to the Ministry. She would spend some time in the Women's loo before emerging, clothes tattered, looking gaunt, but wearing her usual smile. She met Mathis in their office where she prepared a cup of tea and buckled down to the task at hand.
