27 October 1998– In the pre-dawn hours, just three blocks from the Ministry of Magic, the body of Narcissa Malfoy (née Black, f, 43) was found burned at the stake. Confirmed by the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, this is the third homicide of its nature in little over a week, following the deaths of Lucretia Fawley and Flavius Flint. Malfoy is survived in her immediate family by her son Draco (18) and husband Lucius (44), the latter of whom is still incarcerated in Azkaban after being found guilty of Death Eater war crimes.
