Dorcas Meadowes

9teen, originally from the house of blue and bronze, ex-cursebreaker, new occupation: flourish and blotts, order member, hopeless wanderer, a child who's time's to grow up....

My cinematic crush is probably Joaquin Phoenix and also in Belle de Jour, Marcel, when he was younger because now I feel like that actor may be ninety years old plus

“You have no idea.” [ Chuckles slightly to lighten the mood pending his first comment. ] “I can see why people get addicted. People are attracted to the forbidden, desperate to make it a habit, and murder or torturing just happens to be the worst, so it’s probably the most addicting. It says a lot about a person if they go down that path. And not a heart attack - no, just a lifetime in Azkaban if they get caught.”

[ She chuckles as well, but as he went on, her smile flickered as if sensing something not quite right. Maybe it was just the Order training that taught her to be suspicious of everyone, or maybe she was just overly paranoid. Either way she couldn't be sure. Doe clears her throat and forces a somewhat uneasy smile ] It's almost like you've had some experience. [ scratches the back of her neck ] We've got fantastic aurors at the moment. Escaping with murder without a trace is tricky.

Well if you’re looking to make an idiot of yourself you’re doing a very good job at it, maybe you should slow down on the firewhiskey? 

[dxrcxs-blog]

It's apple juice.

[itsmisterpotter-deactivated2015]

Oh, yes. I forgot you were a bore.

[dxrcxs-blog]

I'm not a bore! I'm very exciting, thank you very much! Did you know I dyed my cat pink? That's not boring, is it?

Tremendous, even. [she grins in reply at Dorcas]. I missed you too-we never have to allow that long of a time pass before we see each other again, promise? [she gasps as she sees the chocolate and claps, grinning] Oh Dorcas Meadowes, you have got my heart. You brought my favorite chocolate and a huge bar of it? You are my savior. So, tell me everything new with you! I must hear every single detail.

[dxrcxs-blog]

I promise. [ holds a pinky finger up ] I almost died of lackofAlicesyndrome. It was awful! [ grins at her reaction ] I've got your heart and I'm never giving it back! [ she shrugs as if it were nothing, but can't help but look a little pleased with herself. At her next comment she tilted her head, her eyes averting upwards in thought ] Well, my cat's finally eating salmon again, my job's going okay although there was a really rude customer the other day, and I got two new woolly jumpers. What about you?

I’ve missed your amazing hugs.

[dxrcxs-blog]

[ pauses as she ponders on her comment ] Yes, I do do amazing hugs, don't I? [ plants a kiss on her cheek ] I've missed your hugs too, but I've missed all of you. [ gasps and pulls away with an excited grin ] Guess what?! [ pulls out a massive chocolate bar from her pocket (don't ask her how it fit inside such a small space - the point is that it's a massive chocolate bar) and waves it in front of her ] I've got a feast for two!

You look like you could use a drink. Or three.

James, you know I only drink semi-skimmed milk and apple juice.

[looks down] I- neither. Just commenting as you don’t seem pleased with it.

[dxrcxs-blog]

[ shrugs ] If I was to be completely honest it’s not that bad. Otherwise I’d be offending quite a lot of brunettes. It just wasn’t what I was expecting…

“You think they can ever get it back in the right place? Or is there so much evil blocking the path to where it should be that they just combust and go completely mad?” [ He has to say he’s rather enjoying the conversation. There’s a type of freedom to it that he cannot express, one that commands him to stay and listen to her opinion as opposed to calling her a hundred names under the sun like blood traitor before storming off. ] “Like oxygen trying through to the heart but there’s a blood clot blocking it until boom, heart attack.”

[dxrcxs-blog]

[ looks bemused ] You're rather graphic, aren't you? Well I think that going down a dark path is easy, coming back from that path is not so and you'd have to have quite a lot of mental strength. Doing bad things, for example murder or torturing for fun, can actually be addicting for some people. Like any habit, it's hard to break. [ laughs because she's a little ray of sunshine ] Luckily for them they won't get a heart attack, just a bad reputation.

1. What do you miss the most about Hogwarts?

Oh gosh. The food - no wait...the cats! I loved all the cats there! So many of these adorable little furry balls of fluff! They were so friendly! And I'll tell you something, I approached a cat the other day and it hissed! No Hogwarts cat ever did that to me, mark my words...

“Hm.” [ Pulls a face. ] “And those that murder or steal?”

[dxrcxs-blog]

Doesn't mean they're empty, just means that they don't have their conscience in the right place.

[justliketheflower]

Yeah, I’m all good. [she smiles in return] It’s been great. There are a few more adult things, but no one stops us from eating all the ice cream we want. If that was a requirement for marriage I think I’d stay single forever. [looks over to the book shelf and frowns] If you ever need anything let me know, yeah? I can’t say that I’m the best at finding lost cats, but I’m always here if you want to talk or anything.

[dxrcxs-blog]

[ sighs, as if her answer was a huge weight off her shoulders ] Oh good. Otherwise, I'm never getting married. I know you guys eat chocolate because apparently it can be nice with wine. I prefer milkshakes, especially strawberry ones. [ smiles genuinely at her ] Thank you, Lily. Not very many people are being very nice recently. I think it's the war, it...changes people.

“Really, don’t worry. Blonde is wonderful, granted, but this is quite nice as well.“ A pause followed after Dorcas finished her explanation, Mary’s face breaking out in a grin, head shaking in disbelief. “Unbelievable, truly. Although, that would most likely happen to me, too – Potions has always been my nemesis. A pink cat, though, that is amazing. Don’t they sell specific hair-dye for cats somewhere, though? Or maybe a charm is safer..”

[dxrcxs-blog]

Well, luckily it's not permanent, so I'll be back to my beautiful blonde self in no time [ grins ] Where's the fun in that? I thought I'd sneak it into her milk bowl that night. [ sighs, sounding discreetly disappointed ] It's a shame. If she was pink I'd have far more interesting things to say at dinner parties.

I’m not laughing. It’s not a bad color on you.

Are you always this charming or have a just caught you on a good day?

Poems of the Zodiac

Pisces

A sharer of burdens; retracer of footsteps, eyes which hold the embers of all they have seen. Will  gaze as smoke billows from their dreams, between still fingers and out to sea.

Can't Be In Two Places At Once || Diagon Alley || Sirius & Dorcas

[sirius-underfire]

[he’s about to jokingly bop her away before the whisper; after it, he found himself freezing before wrapping his arms around her as well and pulling her into a lingering (and probably bone-crushing) hug, just holding her close for a long moment and feeling (although he would never admit it because tearing up is decidedly Not Punk) salt pricks at the corners of his eyes, product of the heavy lump in his throat he had to force himself to swallow] I’m sorry about Egypt.

[dxrcxs-blog]

[ she felt slightly squished, but it was a nice squished. Dorcas liked hugging, but unfortunately, they had been lacking in her life recently. Unlike Sirius, she was decidedly Not Punk, and soon she was having to blink little beads of tears out of eyes, feeling them make a salty, sticky trail down her cheek. Of course she used Sirius's shirt to wipe them away by burying her face into the material. She really felt like she had let him down. Doe's voice was muffled, as if she were talking from under a duvet ] Why are you sorry? You came back for a reason, and it was a good reason. I just came back because I couldn't handle the stress and I was lonely. I should've just grit my teeth and carried on.
