Dorcas shoulders her bag as she walks down the hall when her eyes immediately land on three familiar heads of hair sitting outside the Hospital Wing.
âWhat did you do now?â she sighs. James, Peter, and Remus flinch and whip around to face her, clearly surprised by her sudden appearance. Remus is the first to recover, his shock melting into an awkward chuckle.
âIt was Jamesâ fault, cariad, I swear.â
âUh-huh. Let me guess, some poor sap is in there after a prank gone wrong and you lot are waiting out here for McGonagall to arrive?â She says, rolling her eyes fondly when her boyfriend and his friends just stare at her sheepishly in lieu of a reply.
âRight. Whereâs Sirius gone off to, then? He manage to escape McGonagallâs wrath for once?â
âEr⊠About that⊠There was a bit of a potions accident,â James says guiltily, eyes darting to the Hospital Wing entrance, and all at once everything clicks.
Dorcasâ eyes widen as her knuckles tighten around the strap of her bag.
âHeâs fine!â James rushes out at her visible panic. âHeâs just⊠not quite himself. Botched love potion experiment exploded all over him. Poppy kicked us out until she can figure out how to reverse the effects.â
Dorcas lets out a shaky breath. âFuck you for scaring me like that, James Potter, and fuck that. I donât give a toss what Pomfrey has to say.â
âIâm not sure sheâll take kindly to that sentiment,â Peter says hesitantly. Dorcas ignores him.
âCome on, Remus. Weâre going to see our boyfriend,â she says firmly, leaving no room for arguments as she storms over to the closed Hospital Wing. Remus scrambles to follow her.
âCariad,â he says to her while she pushes the doors open. âDonât be startled if he does or says anything unusual.â
Dorcas opens her mouth to say something along the lines of âEverything Sirius does is unusual,â when sheâs cut off by the ecstatic shout of, âMoony! Doe-eyes! Youâre here!â
The doors had swung open to reveal Sirius a few beds down, whose face is lit up with pure delight. He tries to scramble off the bed only to be shoved back down by an exasperated Madam Pomfrey. She whirls around to face them with a stern look.
âI said no visitors,â she reprimands. Remusâ face melts into that wide-eyed âinnocentâ look that is anything but.
âI know, Poppy, but Dorcas and I were just so worried about him. Please, can we stay?â he says pitifully, and Dorcas has to bite her lip to stop from grinning. Pomfrey softens a little, forever sympathetic to one Remus Lupin.
âOh, alright,â she sighs. âBut no funny business! Mr. Black needs his rest.â
âOf course, Poppy. Thank you.â
With that, she leaves and the three of them are alone in the room. Immediately, Sirius tries clumsily to get up once again and Remus rushes to his bedside, gently shoving him back down. Dorcas follows close behind, still anxious despite herself.
âYou need to stay in bed, Pads, remember?â he says softly, and Sirius melts into the thin sheets. He stares up at Remus reverently, pupils so large they nearly eclipse the cool grey of his eyes.
âYouâre so beautiful, I love you so much. Do you know that? I hope you know that,â Sirius says in a single breath and Remus bites back a grin.
âYeah, I know that, fy calon.â
Dorcas chuckles a bit, relaxing at the sight of her unharmed love-drunk boyfriend. Said boyfriend whips his head over at the sound of her laughter and his whole face lights up.
âDoe. Doey. Doe-eyes.â Sirius reaches out blindly to grab her hand. She takes pity on him and slips her hand in his own, stumbling slightly when he tugs on it insistently.
âYes, love?â
âI love you, I love you so much. Your eyes are so pretty, likeâ like chocolate. I love you, did I say that already? Come lay with me.â He tugs on her again, this time sending her stumbling into the bed.
âChrist, Sirius,â Remus breathes, rushing to stabilise her only for Sirius to tug again. Dorcas collapses on his chest with a laugh and he hums happily.
âSâalright, Rem. Heâs just an impatient sap right now.â Dorcas pushes up to resituate herself and Sirius grumbles. âOh, stop it. Iâm just getting comfortable, Iâm not leaving.â
âOh, thatâs good, then, thatâs lovely,â Sirius sighs, closing his eyes contentedly. âYouâre so lovely.â
âI know I am,â Dorcas grins as she rests her head on his shoulder. She looks to Remus, who is watching the two of them with a soft and loving expression, and teases, âDonât you think so, Rem?â
âMoons,â Siriusâ eyes shoot open with a thrilled gasp. âYou have to join us. Come cuddle, please?â
Remus stares distrustfully at the already-crowded twin bed. âIâm not sure Iâll fit, darling.â
âPlease, Moony,â Sirius whines pitifully.
Dorcas snickers. âYeah, Moony, come join us.â
Remus sighs, accepts his fate, and crawls on top of his two partners. Itâs not comfortable by a long shot. No, gangly limbs dig into torsos, curly hair falls into faces, yet Sirius has never looked so content. He squirms delightedly under them which has the unfortunate side-effect of disrupting their precarious cuddle pile, nearly sending Remus to the floor.
âI love you guys, you know?â Sirius sighs dreamily, eyes falling shut. Dorcas giggles, meeting her other boyfriendâs eyes which are bright with humour.
âYeah, Pads, we know, donât worry.â
She reaches forward to grasp one of Remusâ hands, entangling their fingers on Siriusâ chest. He gently squeezes her hand and she sighs happily. Dorcas lets her eyes fall shut as she basks in the warmth of her partners, fully intending to enjoy this as much as possible before Madam Pomfrey returns to boot them out.
And if Remus and Dorcas happen to steal Jamesâ cloak come nightfall and sneak back in, well, thatâs no oneâs business but their own.

"Remus..." Dorcas sighed, shuffling through Remus' wardrobe, "Do you actually own anything other than knitted jumpers and brown slacks?"
Remus glanced up from his place on the bed, head buried in a good book, "Of course!" He huffed, "I have t-shirts in there."
Dorcas glared back at her boyfriend, "Anything nice?"
"Oi!" Remus squinted, "You said you like my grandfather like charm."
"Yes, I do. I love it very much." She nodded, "However, we're going to a club, and we're trying to look sexy. And I don't know about you, but old man doesn't exactly scream sexy."
Remus scrunched up his nose, "Erm, I have corduroys?"
Dorcas looked at her boyfriend and sighed, nodding her head in slow defeat.
"What's wrong with corduroys?" He exclaimed, setting his book down, "They're my nicest trousers!"
She smiled at him, walking over and leaning on the bed to give him a quick kiss, "And they're lovely, darling. But we're going to stop by James' and Sirius' on the way and steal you something else to wear."
Remus furrowed his brow, trying to glare up at his girlfriend, "How about we don't do that, and we just stay here tonight instead? I don't need to be sexy, I have you and this book, and that's sexy enough for me."
Dorcas laughed, pressing a kiss on the top of his head, "Fine! You can wear your corduroys, but I'm cropping one of your t-shirts."
"But I'll get cold!" Remus hissed.
"Then I'll just have to keep you warm, wont I?"
Remus smiled melting into her, "Oh, well, when you put it like that... crop away, my love."
"Now the question is, which shade of brown will we chose tonight?"
Remus groaned and flopped back against the bed as Dorcas laughed.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU STILL DOING HERE, SIRIUS? GO HELP MY BOYFRIEND!"
"No need to beat me, okay? I'm going..."
"Bring him to me at the morning."
Dorcas Meadowes crying for the full moon after Remus told her about his lycanthropy, taken by a really afraid Sirius Black. Afraid of Dorcas, not of the full moon, of course.
Era instintivo. Foi só Remus tocar seus cabelos para que ela relaxasse aos poucos, inclinando a cabeça na direção do toque do rapaz. Ela respirou profundamente. Era óbvio que estava assustada. Nunca havia desejado ser mãe, costumava dizer para as amigas que seria a tia. Que nunca teria um filho. Como podia, em tão pouco tempo, aquele pequenino ser jå ter se tornado a pessoa mais importante de sua vida? Ela seria capaz de qualquer coisa para proteger aquele bebe. Absolutamente qualquer coisa. Jå conseguia imaginar o pequenino ser de bochechas rosadas, seria absolutamente igual a Remus. Entrelaçou os dedos nos do rapaz e inconscientemente levou as mãos unidas ao ventre.
Dorcas suspirou sonoramente. Sabia que teria de ficar em repouso e que nĂŁo poderia se irritar. Claro que isso era absolutamente impossĂvel. Estavam em guerra, quem conseguiria ficar em paz no meio de uma guerra? O quĂŁo irresponsĂĄvel ela era por trazer uma criança ao mundo naquelas condiçÔes?
- Eu nĂŁo aguentava mais ficar esperando lĂĄ fora.. â murmurou Marlene olhando para Remus como se ele a tivesse traĂdo por nĂŁo tĂȘ-la chamado para entrar com ele. â Como vocĂȘ estĂĄ? â perguntou a menina de olhos negros encarando a baixinha.
- Desembucha, Lupin... o que ela estĂĄ escondendo? â Marlene cruzou os braços, encarando o rapaz de forma furiosa. Dorcas revirou os olhos e balançou a cabeça, aqueles dois nunca parariam e isso um dia ainda iria enlouquece-la. - Se vocĂȘ quiser ter esse filho, Dorcas.. â Marlene começou fazendo o coração de Dorcas palpitar.
- NĂŁo tem âseâ nenhum nessa histĂłria! â Dorcas rosnou para a amiga, encolhendo-se na cama.
Logo a pequenina se rompeu em lĂĄgrimas, o queixo â bem como as mĂŁos â tremiam loucamente.
- SE vocĂȘ quer ter esse filho com o Lupin, tudo bem, mas vocĂȘ vai ter que se cuidar... vocĂȘ vai ficar em repouso absoluto nem que eu tenha que te prender numa cama, Dorcas! â Marlene falava a plenos pulmĂ”es. â Eu vou me mudar para sua casa, nĂŁo vou desgrudar de vocĂȘ... â disse a menina cruzando os braços.
Dorcas olhou para Remus desesperada, angustiada e com lågrimas nos olhos. A respiração cortada. Quando a porta do quarto se abriu novamente, entraram no quarto James, Lily e Sirius.
- Deixa-me adivinhar, Lene estĂĄ tentando te matar de novo? â debochou Sirius para Remus sĂł entĂŁo notando o olhar de Dorcas que encolhia-se e refugiava-se no maroto.
- Lene! â ralhou Lily antes de revirar os olhos. â Temos boas noticias? â a ruiva cantarolou sentando-se na cama de Dorcas e sorrindo para Remus.
- Ă... vamos ter mais um maroto? â James perguntou ignorando Marlene que espumava de raiva por todos estarem tratando aquilo como uma bobagem.
- Sim, ele vai se chamar Sirius nĂŁo vai? â Sirius deu sua risada que mais parecia um latido. â Sirius James Lupin... um bom nome!
- Aham, Moony deve estar muito animado da filha dele namorar com o filho de James! â debochou Sirius.
- Sempre poderia ser pior, Sirius, poderia ser o seu filho... ai eu ficaria seriamente preocupada! â Dorcas brincou estirando lĂngua para o rapaz ainda sem se soltar de Remus. O rapaz gargalhou.
- Ou pode ser o contrĂĄrio.. â Lily disse dando ombros e James fez uma careta. â Ou podem ser dois meninos ou duas meninas... serĂŁo melhores amigos! Como nĂłs somos.. â a ruiva sorriu para Dorcas e Remus.
- NĂŁo adianta ser tĂŁo boazinha, ruiva... ela nĂŁo vai dar seu nome para a criança! â debochou Sirius gargalhando enquanto a porta se abria.
- Em nome de Merlin o que estĂĄ havendo aqui? â George disse furioso, Dorcas sempre dizia que ele parecia um esquilo com hidrofobia quando estava com raiva. Seus olhos ficavam tĂŁo arregalados que pareciam pular para fora no rosto. Uma arteria na testa estava a ponto de explodir. â Eu disse que vocĂȘ precisava de repouso! â ele rosnou. â Todos para fora do quarto agora! â disse o curandeiro aos berros.
- Se acalma, Georgie!â Dorcas murmurou fraquinha. â SĂŁo meus amigos... â ela disse calma.
- Eu disse para todos vocĂȘs saĂrem daqui AGORA! â George gritou novamente assustando todos ao seu redor. â VocĂȘ pode ficar, Lupin! â disse o rapaz um pouco mais calmo enquanto todos ainda o encaravam.
- Por que ele pode ficar e eu nĂŁo? â Marlene disse cruzando os braços.
Dorcas começou a sentir-se sonolenta. â Remie.. â ela chamou com a voz sonolenta. â Eu sei qual o nome que quero... o nome que quero se for uma menina!â ela murmurou sentindo os olhos pesados. â Hope... â o nome mal saiu de seus lĂĄbios. â Hope Elizabeth Lupin..â ela pronunciou antes de deixar que olhos fechassem. O nome da mĂŁe de Remus nunca havia parecido tĂŁo adequado, Hope. Esperança. Algo que eles tinham de manter para conseguirem passar por toda a turbulĂȘncia da guerra. Elizabeth era o nome da mĂŁe de Dorcas, um nome digno de rainhas, era o que sua avĂł sempre falava. NĂŁo podia existir nome melhor para a filha deles. Havia muito a ser resolvido. O apartamento planejado para eles agora deveria ganhar um cĂŽmodo infantil. Mas tudo isso sĂł poderia perturba-la quando acordasse em seu quarto com sua colcha colorida. Voltaria para casa.Â
