( non-binary | they/she | quintessa swindell ) —— isn’t that dorcas meadowes? yeah that is them, outside the leaky cauldron! they used to be in ravenclaw but apparently they now work as a healer-in-training at st mungo’s. they always seemed to remind me of neon lights flickering on the rain-slick pavement; vases of wilting lilacs, sickly sweet in decay; bandaged knuckles, fading blue, purple, green; the yellowing, dog-eared, coffee-stained pages of a well-loved book, which seems about right. anyway i’ve heard they’re still a bit reckless, protective, and reticent. they’re nineteen now but some things never change! i wonder how being a half-blood is affecting them after school, especially now they’re an associate with the order of the phoenix? when was it they graduated again, 1977? has it really been that long… ( CARRD. )
