[marauders-bs]

hehehe this is part 1!! part pre

Hermione looked around the room, hazy with memory but relatively detailed.

A young girl, maybe six or seven, was standing at a stove. "Ari," she called. "Get over here and pass me the spice rack."

"The whole spice rack?" a younger boy asked, skidding into Hermione's frame of vision.

"Yes, the whole spice rack," the girl said, rolling her eyes fondly. "I haven't decided what I'll need yet."

"What are you doing?" another girl asked, this one younger still, eyes wide as she wandered into the kitchen.

"Making Grandma and Gramps breakfast, duh," said the older girl. "C'mon, June, if you tattle I'll put cinnamon in your eggs."

"Dorcas, no!" the younger girl cried theatrically. "Not cinnamon! I hate cinnamon!"

Hermione exchanged a confused glance with Ron as the scene whirled and changed.

-

The same older girl - now at least ten - was standing, arms crossed, clearly waiting for something.

A quick scan of the scene showed June - the younger girl - and Ari - the boy - standing side by side, looking guilty.

"It wasn't our fault," Ari muttered, staring at his feet.

"No, it was all the cat's fault," June said, glancing around. Doing the same, Hermione saw at least four broken plates across the floor.

"Why am I a ten year old being a parent," Dorcas muttered, waving a hand. To Hermione's astonishment, the plates immediately fixed themselves, mending and flying back to their cupboards.

Again, the scene changed.

-

"What house do you think you'll be in?" a brown-haired girl asked, fiddling with an ear piercing. They were on the Hogwarts Express now.

"I'm ambitious, powerful, and protective," Dorcas answered. "Probably Slytherin."

"Oh," the other girl said. "I think I'll end up in Gryffindor. I'm stupid and brave."

"Oh, you fancy ending up an alcoholic?" Dorcas asked.

This was Hermione's first real glimpse of Dorcas's personality. She appeared brash and witty, two things Hermione could appreciate.

"Nope," the brown haired girl said brightly. "But from my experience, alcoholics are great fun, so I do fancy being friends with some. What about you? D'you fancy marrying your cousins?"

"I don't have any of those," Dorcas said. "And anyways, even if I had any, I don't fancy marrying some bigot blood purist with a fat ego."

The brown haired girl laughed. "I like you," she said, grabbing her wand out of a small bag. "I'm Marlene."

"Dorcas."

-

"McKinnon, Marlene!" McGonagall called.

Hermione watched Marlene walk up to the Hat and put it on her head. It had barely touched her straight brown hair before screaming, "Gryffindor!"

Marlene threw a grin at Dorcas before running to the whooping Gryffindor table. Hermione saw a red-haired first year sitting there as well, and she felt her stomach swoop as she caught a glimpse of Harry's eyes in the girl's face.

"Meadowes, Dorcas!"

Dorcas walked purposefully up to the Hat. It sat on her head for maybe a second before screaming, "Slytherin!"

-

To Hermione's surprise, Dorcas didn't seem to have any big memories from first year. Brief snapshots of insults and backhanded compliments thrown by her roommates whirled by but never stuck. It didn't take long at all for it to be summer back at the Meadowes house.

Ari, June, and two other kids were latched onto Dorcas as she made her way through the house. Ari and June were hanging off of her legs and the other two were on her sides.

"Well, good morning, Cas," Dorcas's grandmother said, a look of mild surprise on her face. "Why are you up this early?"

"I'm used to it," Dorcas replied. "Also, when did Jasper and Astra get back?"

"A couple days ago," Dorcas's grandfather answered. "Mara took off again, so they're here for as long as they need to be."

Dorcas nodded, then took the girl off of her hip. As she wiggled her fingers in front of the girl's face, little sparkles began to appear in the air around the girl. Hermione had seen Dorcas do wandless magic before, but this was kind of next level. She wasn't sure she would be able to do that as an adult.

"Look at that," Dorcas whispered to the little girl. "Stars for my star."

-

Suddenly, they were back on the Hogwarts Express. Hermione gathered that Dorcas's early life had been uneventful, or Dorcas had a really bad memory.

She was lounging in an empty compartment and a knock came on the door.

Two almost identical blond kids stood in the door. "Everywhere else is full," said the shorter one. "Can we come in?"

"Sure," Dorcas answered, swinging her legs off of a bench. "I'm Dorcas."

"I'm Pandora Rosier," said the taller of the two. "That's my brother, Evan. Nevermind it if he doesn't talk, he sometimes has visions and then stops speaking."

Hermione, Harry, and Ron all looked at each other, confused. Luna's mum - Pandora Rosier - was whimsical, dangerous. This Pandora seemed to be troublesome and bored. Evan, on the other hand, seemed to match Luna's description of her mum.

"Looks like a party," another voice said from the door. "Do you mind if I join?"

Dorcas shrugged. Hermione could tell that she didn't like the quiet, and these three were very clearly not quiet.

"Fantastic," said the new boy, plopping down on a seat beside Evan. "Well, I'm Barty, I'm bored, and I haven't had chocolate in three years."

"What's chocolate?" Evan asked.

Barty gave a theatrical gasp. "What's chocolate? What's chocolate? Salazar, I thought my parents were neglectful. At least my mother has snuck me chocolate over the years- you don't even know what it is?"

Both twins shook their heads.

"Sweet Salazar, we're going to have to fix that," Barty said. "Do you have any?"

This last bit was directed at Dorcas, who had been watching the interaction with a small smile on her face. "Of course I have chocolate," Dorcas said. "I have practically raised all four of my siblings, you think I don't have chocolate?"

-

The next scene was a potions class. For some reason, a Dorcas was partnered with Regulus Black, who Hermione recognized from Grimmauld Place. It didn't make sense purely because Regulus would've been a first year when Dorcas was a second year, yet he was in Dorcas's Potions class.

"No, not a whole sprig," Regulus said, plucking the leaf out of Dorcas's hand. "You only add a little, but you can't cut it. This book is wrong."

Dorcas chuckled. "Alright. So, only a little, but no cutting. You do that, I'll start on the next?"

"Run it by me first," Regulus said, turning back to the plant.

"Reg, are you bossing around a second year?" a voice vaguely familiar to Hermione called from across the room. She turned and found Sirius Black standing at a cauldron of his own, pointing a little bottle at his brother.

"He's better at in than you," another familiar voice said. Remus Lupin was standing beside Sirius with a look of mild disgust on his face. "If I hadn't stopped you, you would've tipped your shoe-shining potion into the cauldron."

Sirius shrugged, the picture of nonchalance. Regulus rolled his eyes and turned back to Dorcas. "Do you mind?" he asked, quiet and sincere.

"Of course not. Lupin's right, you're better than any of us in here, save maybe Snivellus. Even then, only maybe."

Regulus smiled, soft and brief, and Hermione felt a jolt go through her system. She'd seen that smile before.

She'd seen it on Harry.

Guys I got to visit my gremlin boy last weekend (and my parents)! We had lots of cuddles but half of the posted photos here are him with Ron because Ron has dark magic when it comes to animals and he slept between us each night even though it was a million degrees and one night we even slept like we used to when it was just me and Watson, my arm curled around him and him against my face.

I felt like it would likely be the last time I see him so I got every moment I could with him. He probably won't be around in 6 months and that devastates me but I'm so so grateful I got these last few days with him.

He's shrunk since I moved, he's like two times smaller now and feels like I could break him if I pet him too hard, but he's still his old self - Ron says he has the most personality he's ever seen in a cat. Mostly grumpy and ready to fight. But full of love.
