   She’d recognize her anywhere. She was younger and she wasn’t sure if she’d recognize her. She often wondered how it had affected her with she died and if she had been okay. That’s the thing about death. It’s all those people that one leaves behind that hurt the most. She had been one of her closest friends and Emmeline considered her a sister even. She approached her slowly and took a seat as she didn’t want to startle her. “Hey, Mary. Do you recognize me?”

The fact that she was alive again was a trip to her in itself. She sat at the three broomsticks with a cup of firewhiskey. Usually, she didn’t drink but with all the commotion that was going on, she sure as hell needed something to keep her nerves down. She knows war all too well and she knows it’s just a matter of time before something extreme happens. Patience is a virtue that Emmeline had but that didn’t mean she liked it. She had been trying to listen to conversations that were going on around her when she felt someone take a seat next to her. The place was crowded so she didn’t really mind. “Too many people around here, huh?”

alice was on edge, even though she has been in the 1920s for a few days now, the witch was still very nervous to be here. she could still feel her body hurting from the cruciatus curse; alice had kept to herself so far, afraid that she will accidentally snap at someone while she works through how she felt. the witch was walking along the street late at night, in the dark. every little noise made the witch jump, she didn’t want to get kidnapped like in the past and she just wanted to find her husband, son, and her friends. she wanted to see someone who would tell her it’s alright and that she is finally safe. she heard footsteps behind her and snapped back with her wand drawn. “show yourself.” @hogsmeadeimportant​

    Em wanted answers so she called out to the nearest person but she must have not heard her. It wasn’t until she was face to face with an old familiar face that she froze. She put her hands up slowly to show her friend that she meant not harm. Emmeline had heard what had happened to both Alice and Frank and while she wished she could have done something to help them in their time, Em couldn’t help but feel some sort of relief to see her face to face and not in the same state she saw her last. “Alice.. it’s me. Emmeline.” She was older, much older than the other remembered probably. “I’m not going to hurt you.”

maya had spent the whole afternoon flying around on a broomstick. while the brooms here weren’t as fast as they were back home, they were still nice to ride. she then headed to three broomsticks to get a butterbeer. “so i wonder how many thing around hogwarts exist in this time.” she said softly. “like maybe i should try to find the cursed vaults now and make sure my brother never can try.” she chuckled. @hogsmeadeimportant​

    “Cursed vaults?” Emmeline was always listening. It was just what she did best. She needed to be aware of her surroundings and make sure that they could find a way to figure this all out. She glanced back over at her, “What are those if you don’t mind me asking?”

{katie mcgrath; cisfemale; pansexual} look who just appeared in hogsmeade, it’s EMMELINE VANCE, the 35 year old WITCH. SHE was taken from the GOLDEN TRIO ERA and is working as a MEDIWITCH. some describe them as PROTECTIVE, but they can also be described as GUARDED. 

( why are my intros always so long??? i don’t know?!? )

  Emmeline Vance grew up to be a surprise to everyone. During her early years of Hogwarts, Emmeline was quiet. She didn’t have a voice but that didn’t mean that her thoughts weren’t loud. In fact, she was always thinking. Emmeline enjoyed looking at the world and trying to find the truth behind everything. She was observant and she was a quick learner. She was good at analyzing people and she liked to find how things truly worked. It was a shocker when she was sorted into Gryffindor and not Ravenclaw but her parents didn't question it. They knew their daughter had a fire in her heart and it was just a matter of it coming out. She wasn't always fond of people but she wasn't someone to push others away. In fact, Emmeline could never deny helping someone. Whether that be helping with tutoring or just when someone needed someone to listen to them or stand up for them. 

As time passed, Emmeline grew into her true self and found her voice as well as her friends. She didn't have difficulty making friends after this. It was in her fifth year that Em found her mentor after a horrible flu. Madam Pomfrey. She often went unnoticed by the people at Hogwarts but Emmeline found her fascinating. She knew every remedy in the book and not in a book. Soon enough, Emmeline found herself drawn to the healing arts. She often found herself spending evenings with the mediwitch and picking up everything she could. Her skills made it easier to get accepted into a healing program at St. Mungo's after graduation and she excelled beyond belief. However, things took a turn for the worse as time progressed. 

War was starting and Em knew that she had to do something more. As time passed, more people ended up wounded or worse, dead. Emmeline knew she needed to do so much more. She had the skill to help people and she needed to get it to people in need before they were past the point of no return. She was so sure that people didn’t notice how she snuck into just the right conversations, and finding out who she had speak to about the organization that kept destroying their towns while fighting Voldemort. It was Emmeline who approached Dumbledore once she knew where to go which was something rare for the old wizard.  Not too long after, she joined the Order without looking back or hesitation. 

Emmeline was fully skilled in both fighting and defensive spells and she knew how to form a non-corporeal patronus. She was the only fully trained mediwitch that the order had and took it upon herself to make sure to go on the most dangerous of missions to be able to help anyone who became injured. This allowed her to keep a close eye on everything and to see what others did not. Emmeline became an important asset to the Order in this way. 

She watched many of her closest friends died and despite this, she pushed forward for the sake of others. After the war ended, Emmeline was not the same person anymore. She became rather guarded and while she wasn’t rude or mean, she didn’t allow her to have too many people close to her out of fear of losing them. Em became a traveling mediwitch, helping anyone that needed it far and wide. She did keep an eye on Harry from afar, leaving little things for him to find and wishing she could take him far away from his aunt and uncle’s care. 

When she heard that he was in danger once more and that Voldemort had returned, she didn’t hesitate to return. Emmeline joined the advance guard to make sure that Harry was taken to safety. She considered both Lily and James close friends and wanted to make sure that their son was protected at all costs. Emmeline died standing post at the muggle prime minister’s residence. She was out numbered and  murdered by death eaters and never knew how it was they found her. 

Emmeline woke up in another time, she remembers dying so she isn’t sure what is going on but there are many familiar faces who seem frozen in time to her. She is glad to see them but knows that there’s something wrong here and with news about Gellart, she knows she would fight for what’s right here just as much as she did before to ensure what’s right prevails again.
