#gryffindor marlene

[muggleauformarauders]

Dorcas taking off her pretty heels and lifting up her pretty dress so she can run away from the fancy dinner she was in (bored as hell and annoyed because her family wanted to introduce her to potential male rich suitors). She gets out of the place, running while her family screams: "Don't you dare, Dorcas!"

But she keeps going and she gets on a bike (borrowed from Sirius) behind Marlene. Who is wearing denim jeans and converse and chopped nails and a cool badass jacket.

And they ride away, Dorcas showing her middle finger at her fake family and holding Marlene's waist tight. And they ride and ride into the night laughing out loud and being completely in love.

Even if the world wants to break them apart.

breakfast

dorlene july event, 247 words, @enbysiriusblack

When Marlene woke up, she wasn’t in her bed. She wasn’t in the dormitory with Mary and Lily, she wasn’t in the Gryffindor tower, she wasn’t anywhere she recognised. Then she turned around, and she was with someone she recognised very well.

She threw her head back on the pillow and snaked her arm around her Slytherin lover, who snuggled into the touch, and she sighed contentedly, tracing her eyes over Dorcas’s face, because she was so pretty. Her eyelashes rested against her skin so peacefully, still and gentle like tiny brushes, and her smile was so cute, lifting her cheeks up and lifting Marlene’s heart up until it was inside her throat, so full and happy she could choke, or cry, and hug Dorcas forever because this.

She couldn’t breathe, Dorcas was so pretty. Especially when she was thinking, or speaking, or moving, or looking at Marlene, or smiling, or doing anything. It was all Marlene could think about, and Dorcas was right there. In her arms, and she could burst.

In the back of her mind, she was kind of worried about how she’d show up for breakfast, not coming from Gryffindor tower with her friends, but coming from the Slytherin dungeons, and she wondered what her friends would say, or how suspiciously they’d look at her, but those worries were very far back in her mind.

Because if she showed up to breakfast with Dorcas by her side, then how could anything be wrong?

It's a Gryffindor vs Slytherin quidditch match and Gryffindor chaser Marlene McKinnon is about to score a goal when she locks eyes with the Slytherin Keeper Dorcas Meadowes and just wow.

Until Dorcas steals the Quaffle from her, smirking knowingly and Marlene is just standing there gaping because wow.

Marlene and Dorcas had to struggle at the beginning of their relationship with their friend groups and the fact they didn't like each other.

Dorcas's friends were constantly saying that Marlene was corrupting Dorcas and changing her. That she had no future and was too raw and upfront.

Marlene's friends didn't trust Dorcas. She was a Slytherin for starters and kept the worst company according to them.

They just wanted to be together and be happy, be left alone. But from each side, their friends were nagging them about how they deserved someone else, someone better.

The important thing was that Marlene and Dorcas never gave up. They basically told everyone to fuck off and they showed everyone how in love they were with each other. Until the groups cut their shit and began to be civilised around each other for their sake.

Dorlene was a forbidden love that fought against all odds. And their love actually changed things at Hogwarts.

[muggleauformarauders]

Marlene & Dorcas meeting each other in secret because they are from rival houses and rival friend groups. They don't tell anyone about their secret meetings. At first it is just to talk and casually hang out. And even if it is weird, they cannot stop seeing each other. But they start liking each other a lot. Until they cannot stop thinking about kissing each other. And when they finally do they are like "Damn, what are we going to do now. We are supposed to hate each other. Although I kind of want to kiss you again".

They are the real forbidden love trope and Romeo and Juliet but lesbians and, let's hope, without the tragic ending.

Dorcas has tears in her pretty eyes, mascara running down after fighting with her mother.

Daisy Meadowes used to be one of the famous ballet dancers of all times. But her career was cut short after her pregnancy and some minor injuries. So she pressures her daughter to be as good as her, even better so she can live the life Daisy wanted. Dorcas loves ballet but sometimes she truly hates it.

Dorcas keeps perfect grades, never breaks the rules and keeps her record clean. She has a very tight schedule between classes, training sessions and her social commitments. She is part of one of the most popular groups in school. Not because of her. Her mother married Zion Mulciber, a very important lawyer in the UK, and her new step brother Nicolas Mulciber is a popular bloke in Slytherin.

Dorcas knows she is pretty and that had made her reject many boys in her life, one of them being Nick's best friend, Samuel Avery. But it isn't because she's pretentious like everyone thinks. She just doesn't like them. She doesn't like boys.

People had been telling Dorcas lately that she has been changing. That she doesn't keep the perfect life she once kept. Dorcas prefers to spend most of her time with the reason she's been feeling different.

Marlene McKinnon is not only a Gryffindor, which is the rival house for her peers. According to her friends, according to Nick and even according to her mother, Marlene is the devil encarnated who has corrupted Dorcas. The reason she is not "herself".

Truth is, Dorcas hadn't felt more herself in her entire life. Marlene makes her feel... Alive.

Marlene is truly amazing. The girl goes around school doing what she pleases. She breaks stereotypes. "Girls aren't supposed to play sport", well, Marlene does. "Girls aren't supposed to play such a rough sport as rugby" well, Marlene is very good at it. "Girls are supposed to be more feminine and wear feminine clothes", even with her jerseys, hoodies and tennis, even without makeup, Marlene is beautiful. She is so hot with piercings and that single dragon tattoo on her arm that she did because of a bet between her and her brothers. Marlene is brave. Marlene is full of life. Marlene makes Dorcas laugh and enjoy life.

When Dorcas is with Marlene, she doesn't worry about being perfect, about her ballet routines and getting into Julliard in New York, or her grades, or giving a good image to keep the Mulcibers' name intact. She doesn't care about popularity, parties and who is dating who. She doesn't care about fitting in and being well liked around Slytherin.

Dorcas knows about the eyes on her. People judging her for not being the perfect girl everyone used to admire. Or about people judging her for being gay and rejecting the most wanted boys in school. Or about people judging her for betraying her house by dating a Gryffindor.

Hogwarts history had shown romance between rival houses. But this was the first time a girl was dating another girl.

Dorcas knows teachers are commenting behind their backs. Slughorn for example, her head of house is pretty homophobic and even if he doesn't say anything openly, his attitude towards Dorcas has changed now that her relationship is public.

Dorcas knows that Marlene's friends judge her even. For being a Slytherin. For being Nick's stepsister. Perhaps they think she is pretentious and superficial. And even if they try to act nice, Dorcas feels the tension. Especially coming from Macdonald. She is overprotective of her friend.

Daisy still hasn't accepted that her only daughter, the apple of her eyes, is into girls. But Dorcas knows it is even worse that she is into Marlene.

Dorcas knows about the past relationship between her mother and McKinnon The Star. Marcus McKinnon, an ex rugby star, and Marlene's father. Dorcas doesn't know what happened between them but things didn't end up well. Now they hate each other.

It seems impossible between them, Dorcas thinks. Rival houses. Enemy friend groups. Enemy families. Feels like the world is against Dorcas and Marlene.

But right now, Marlene wraps her arms around Dorcas and comforts her, and somehow Dorcas feels they were meant for each other.

"Don't worry, princess" Marlene whispers "It is us against the world, right?"

Dorcas smiles.

"Yes, mud girl" she answers "Is against the world"

"I love you" Marlene adds.

"I love you too"

When Dorcas kisses Marlene in this moment, everything feels like it is meant to be. Dorcas feels like she is where she belongs. And she feels strong, she feels powerful, she feels like nothing can break them apart.

Marlene calls Dorcas Ice Princess because she seems cold, royal and untouchable. Pretty but cold as ice.

Dorcas calls Marlene Mud Girl because she plays rugby and it is always covered in mud. And she looks hot like that.

They are Ice Princess and Mud Girl. Dream team.
