Who: Evelyn & @mk-marlene

Where: Ministry of Magic

Her blue eyes widened in shock as all the puzzle pieces began to fall to the right place, one by one. The evidence never lied and it was in these moments where Evelyn felt the rush of adrenaline. Finally. She had been working on this case for months now, well, she and Marlene McKinnon. "I got you, you asshole" she murmured as she grabbed the reports and got on her feet.

Marlene. She needed Marlene. Where the fuck was she?

She was practically running towards the Hit Wizards' office. Evelyn practically slid across the slippery floors, but landed gracefully right at Marlene's door, an expectant smile on her face.

"We got him" she announced, walking to her desk and left the reports and picture of their suspect.

It hadn’t been too long after the ball, only a day or two really. There was the stress and sadness of Emmeline’s capture that filled the air. Paulie felt bad having her interaction with Regulus always interrupting her thoughts. She knew she really couldn’t share much of the information with anyone, but she did know someone who’d gone through a similar shock that night. If Paulie had found out about Dorcas, and others too, she knew Marlene would be included in that. She’d never really believed that Dorcas didn’t want to be with Marlene, they were so cute together and Paulie was sure she’d been head over heels. The conversation though that Dorcas would have to have to get Marlene to even hear her out would have been probably insane. Paulie remembered the nights she’d spent with Marlene after the breakup, it wasn’t pretty or good for either of their livers. Marlene probably had just as much to process as Paulie, maybe different things, but she wouldn’t feel guilty going to her.

With that in mind, she headed to the pub that Marlene worked at near the end of her usual shifts in hopes of running into her friend. It didn’t take long for Paulie to spot her friend, and she was in luck it seemed since Marlene was sitting in front of the bar and not standing behind it.  “ Please tell me you’re off and I can buy you a drink without feeling guilty about getting you drunk on the job,” Paulie said, sliding into the stool beside Marlene.

Tagging: @mrlenexmc​ Location: Order HQ

The last few days have been filled with chaos and attempts of making sense of it while recovering from it. As Auror he had a few duties that took his attention, most of them had been rather frustrating with how the ministry had been dealing with them. They had the gall to accuse the Order of being at play with the destruction of St.Mungos and were ignoring the clear evidence that the Death eaters were the cause or at least highly involved. Luckily they’d not gone forward with that line of thinking except in one place, the arrest of Dorcas Meadowes. It wasn’t good by any means and her arrest frustrated him greatly as well, especially when he’d looked over the evidence they collected. It was obvious strings were being pulled by Rodolphus, but this is where his extracurricular work overlapped with his job. There was plenty for him to focus on with the Order, and all of it was pressing, but he had delegate. He’d left the other order members in charge of the Potter baby, his expertise would be more helpful for Dorcas in a way no one else could be.

He’d gone over Dorcas’ interrogation and she’d made it clear that if there were a need for more information Marlene McKinnon was the one to go to. He needed to make sure he had all the information if he was to get Dorcas out, and while the best thing would be to talk to Dorcas that’d take a bit of working around to make sure they’d have the privacy they’d need. For now, he’d pursue questioning with Marlene. He was well acquainted with the girl, though most of their conversations were filled with insults and outbursts from her and scoldings from him. She was one of the more lively and problematic members of the Order, but she was skilled and cared for the cause. Alastor sent an Owl for her to meet at the Order HQ at her earliest convenience, noting the matter had been important.

“ Ah, Ms.Mckinnion, thank you for coming. Please have a seat we have a few things we need to discuss.” Alastor said as she’d entered the main meeting room, rising from his chair to be respectful as he spoke.

who: @marley-mckinnon​ where: Virtue Alley when: the early morning of November 5th, 1982

As Sirius and Marlene stepped outside, the sun was already half way over the horizon. Sirius had hosted a calmer celebration with all of his friends the night prior on his actual birthday, but the night of the fourth had been designated for just Marlene and him to celebrate. That night, however, had now become the morning of November fifth. Not that it was a huge surprise the two had bled together - nights out with Marlene tended to do that.

Sirius pulled out a cigarette and his wand, offering one to Marlene as he did, and subsequently offering her a light. More than anything he wanted to be distracted, and luckily that was one of her many talents. Since they’d started drinking at his estate almost ten hours ago, she’d kept his mind off of what had happened with Marlowe at the Halloween ball. However, the thoughts he was trying to avoid were beginning to creep back in.

“So, what’d you think of that one? Better or worse than the place with the enchanted drink mixer?”

Check Up | Lily & Marlene | June 26, 1980

@cherrybomb-witch

Lily had talked to Remus and talked to Moody and there was just one conversation left that she felt necessary. Talking to Marlene about what had happened was more daunting - this was Marlene. Her friend, one of her best friends. Lily still felt a bit of residual guilt over missing the meeting in the first place, but she couldn’t do anything about that now. But she could make sure Marlene was okay.

There were a lot of consequences to a war. Loss of family and friends - Lily had experienced that first hand. Loss of safety and stability. Plans and dreams put on hold. But Lily thought this was the sort of consequence that was not expected. Fighting was inevitable. Lily had spent a lot of time considering what it might mean to have to harm someone, even kill - even someone on the other side would be a burden she had to bear. She believed in the value of life and that included the lives of those who were against her. But Marlene had attacked and injured one of their allies. Lily was sure that had to be a heavy weight. 

James was busy, and Lily took extra precautions as she left Godric’s Hollow, mindful of her conversation with Remus. She found a floppy straw hat that covered her bright red hair - although now that she thought about it, that might not be quite what he meant. She wore it anyway, as she Apparated to Diagon Alley and then walked the rest of the way to Marlene’s flat.

Sometimes Lily found that she missed the Muggle world. Magic was immensely convenient but it wasn’t always quite the same, and sometimes she missed the simplicity of her life as a Muggle. She knocked at the door loudly, rubbing her back as she looked around. “Marlene, it’s Lily!” She waited a beat then added in her most pitiful voice, “Please let me in, my feet are killing me.”

Where: the Burrow, Hogsmeade When: October 7, morning Who: @marleneonfire

As always, Rosmerta’s parties were raucous and wonderful, exactly what the members of these various wartime organizations needed. Rosmerta always could bring a group together.

And as always, Molly was rolling her eyes at the hungover masses. Luckily her classes were later in the day today, and Ted had taken the children to the park--well, all except Ginny, who’d taken one look at Marlene that morning, let out a whoop of glee, and refused to leave their side. Ginny was on a stool beside Marlene now, in the kitchen that Molly was thinking about expanding because did she really need a living room that large, when everyone hung out in the kitchen anyway?

Molly set down the glasses of orange juice--one for Ginny, one for Marlene, whether they asked for it or not--and grinned at the pair. “You’re not going flying today,” she said automatically, when Ginny had drained her juice and opened her mouth. “I have class, so you’re either coming with me or going to the park with the boys and Ted.” Ginny pouted, looking beseechingly at Marlene.

"It looks like you're in trouble there. Can I help?"

[msmeadcwes]

Who: Dorcas & @mckinnonwitch​

Where: Dorcas’ office 

They were all still dealing with the protest’s consecuences. Dorcas, personally, had a shit ton of paperwork to fill. So here she was, with a mug of tea on her side and her hand writing down the reports. She had been lucky, she didn’t get any major injury during the protests, just a few bruises, but she managed to help a lot of people which, at this point, was the only thing that motivated her.

When she finished the current report she was working on, she let out a tired sigh and leaned back against her seat, twisting her wrist slowly and flexing her fingers carefully. Dorcas then closed her eyes for a moment and opened them when she heard knocks on the door. “Come in!” She called and saw a familiar blonde walking into her office.

“Marlene” she greeted her with a tired smile. “What can I do for you?”
