"We were having a wonderful night out and the bastard appeared out of nowhere. It was an accident. I led us too close to Diagon Alley without even thinking about it. After so many years away, it's easy to forget. He was coming out of the Leaky Cauldron when he spotted me. Remembered me from a few times he was on the wrong side of my wand in my auror days. I tried to get us away, but I wasn't fast enough. He thought it was funny to kill her while I watched unable to defend either of us."
