laurel.

laurel has never paid mind to the mistletoe that adorns so many doorways at this time of year. it’s nought more than a reminder of how much she resents the holidays - or rather, how much she resents the loneliness of the holiday season. she smiles, though it is tight, at the woman’s relief, even so. “oh, it’s zonko’s you’ve gotta watch out for. the one’s in this place are harmless. not like back in school - though, it wasn’t too bad having every lad too terrified of a hex to try anything. great for the ego.”

  “ i need to avoid zonkos. good to know, “ dorcas responded with a nod of her head. not that the woman would have been headed there in the first place. it wasn’t exactly the kind of place that she’d visit--especially not now since she is older. she gave a laugh in response to the woman’s statement. “ true. though the charm that had you STUCK there didn’t really help to get out of there without something happening--unfortunately, “ she spoke.

‘ Afraid you were about to kiss me, Meadowes?’

Lily teased as she giggled towards the other, head shaking in amusemeant. ‘ You’re free from that,don’t worry-.’

  “ well.. i wouldn’t want potter to be jealous, “ she responded with a light smirk. “ or honestly to be responsible for you two breaking up. there is no doubt that you would leave him IMMEDIATELY once you experienced a kiss from me, “ she added on with a playful wink.

Emmeline couldn’t help but let out a small smirk, “Damn it! I thought that it was finally going to be the moment when you realise I’m the one for you,” She joked. “Can’t help but love a bit of mistletoe.”

   “ don’t feel too discouraged, emme, “ dorcas responded with her own matching smirk. she then laughed, “ there’s PLENTY of holiday left for us to share a mistletoe kiss. “ dorcas shrugged her shoulders in response to the blonde’s statement. “ bit of a love/hate relationship for me--perhaps it is those terrifying flashbacks of being stuck under the mistletoe at hogwarts. “

 the decorations that currently filled hogsmeade were definitely a distraction for the young woman. so much so that she almost didn’t notice the mistletoe hanging over the door of the shop she was about to enter. thankfully, her brown eyes glanced up just in time and she stopped dead in her tracks. “ that was a CLOSE one, “ she muttered to herself. if this mistletoe was anything like the kind that used to hang around at hogwarts, then she would have been literally trapped under it.

“We were young,“ she said. “Stupid.”     “Crazy,” he added.     “Selfish.”     “In love.”     “Yeah,” she whispered. “That, too.”

“I dread to think what stories Auntie Dorcas is sharing with my very impressionable young boys.” She raised her brows pointedly before shrugging. “No you don’t need to worry about that at all, there’s no timer on this.” No matter how much she joked about all her friends settling down, she’d prefer them happy in whatever they did. “Suppose business is booming in war.”

  “ just the important ones really, “ dorcas responded with a smile, “ about how their aunt dorcas is constantly kicking ass and taking down the bad guys. “ she gave a small nod, “ think for now i’ll just take care of yours whenever i have that sudden urge to be matronly. at least that way--i can RETURN them. “ doe’s lips curled into a small smile to indicate that she was, of course, joking. she adored the weasley family and would easily do anything to help them. she gave a sigh, “ yeah--can’t say that i view that as much of a good thing. but, it keeps me busy, at least. “

“I just thought it’ll be a nice new thing for the Order.” She laughed, “C’mon, Doe. We shared a dorm together, you’ve seen this before.”

  “ just a little unexpected is all, “ dorcas said with a chuckle. she then gave her a soft smile, “ how have you been doing lately anyways? i feel like i haven’t saw you in a long time. “

“Yes i am , Just wonderful. And what’s wrong with my mom and father picking someone for me ?” 

“ it’s just a little.. sad, y’know? “ she responded, “ i mean.. it is just a little sad that you didn’t get to make your own choice in who you get to spend the rest of your life with. haven’t you ever wondered what might’ve happened if you had gotten to choose? “

“Just changing my shirt! I spilt something on mine.”

  “ well.. this is definitely not the usual order of things, “ dorcas teased, “ i mean-- usually i take someone out to drinks or dinner before they have their top off in front of me. “

molly.

“You were so close.” She tutted, shaking her head once more. “Fine, I suppose my boys will just have to play all by themselves.” Molly let out a dramatic sigh. She was only teasing, she wouldn’t want anyone who wasn’t ready to have kids. That wouldn’t end well for anyone. She laughed then, holding up her hands defensively. “You were the first to come to mind.” Molly pursed her lips thoughtfully, “I’m not sure many people could handle you… But look at you, you’re gorgeous and fun and terribly clever, they should want to learn how to deal with you.”

  “ they will beg for me back. you’ll see. they love to hear their auntie dorcas tell them stories, “ the brunette insisted. she gave a small laugh at her words, “ well, i appreciate the compliments. “ her shoulders then shrugged, “ i’m not too worried about it. i figure that sort of stuff will sort itself out eventually. meanwhile.. i’ve resolved to being married to my job. “

“And I care because? oh wait I don’t.  i don’t swing that way and besides i am married thank you very much”

 “ ah yes, you are married to malfoy, right? “ she responded with her eyebrows furrowed. “ how is that working out for you? must be a lovely match considering mummy and daddy picked it out for you. “

“You’re not helping your case here, I’d forgotten about you until this point. You might just be one to watch.” Molly retorted playfully, teasing grin on her lips as she sipped her drink slowly. She never had been much for drinking. The auburn haired woman couldn’t but groan, brows pulling together. “What is it with everyone and refusing to have children, am I really that old? By the time you lot finally settle down, my kids will be having their own. You and Sirius especially need to sort it out. Want me to set you up? I know a lot of healers. Useful for you and your job.”

 “ whoops. maybe, i shouldn’t have mentioned that one. i could’ve slipped right under the radar, “ she responded with a laugh. her head shook at the woman’s question. “ i didn’t say that i refuse to have children. i just.. don’t see it happening for while. “ her face then scrunched into a bit of a scowl at her next words, “ oi, we aren’t the only two that need to sort it out. “ dorcas then gave a little bit of a laugh at molly’s next words, “ ok, now you sound like my mum. “ she sighed as she glanced over at molly, “ sure these nice healers that you know can handle me? i’m a bit difficult. “

“You’re right. I should ban them from the house with immediate effect, before they infect Percy too.” She was joking of course, no part of her would ever block anyone she cared for from her home. “Cross everything because the odds aren’t looking too good right now.” Molly laughed, “They’re still the best thing I’ve ever done, even when they have me tearing my hair out. The good so outweighs the bad.”

  “ just don’t get too crazy with the banning. i mean--i’m not exactly a model citizen. i don’t want to be put on this list either, “ she teased easily. though she knew that molly would never actually ban anyone from her house. the woman had far too big of a heart for that. it was one of the things that dorcas liked MOST about her. she shook her head, “ well, still, even the possibility of little dorcases...” she paused for a moment and furrowed her brow, “dorcasi?.. roaming around is slim to none. that will be something off--in the FAR distant future--if ever. “
