WHO: Dorcas and Emma ( @emmaofvanity​ )

Dorcas was silently cursing Alice for putting her with Emma Vanity of all people. Gods, why did she have to be with the prissy pureblood. Of course, it hadn’t escaped her awareness that Alice was a pureblood herself. But Dorcas actually liked Alice. She didn’t like Emma. That was the problem. Dorcas respected Alice though, and so she didn’t question her decision. There was also the fact that she wouldn’t have really wanted to be with Sirius or Mundungus either. Gods, was all of their team bad? Time to move on from those thoughts though. They needed to disarm these traps. Because, they really did not want the muggles getting hurt.

“Where do you think the muggles are....farmers don’t wait this long before starting work.” She was surprised that weren’t out already to be honest. Dorcas glanced at Emma, before she took another step forward, and nearly fell to her probably untimely death. “Fuck... Fuck.....” Dorcas grumbed, grabbing onto Emma to stop herself from falling into the random hole that had appeared, having previously being covered by leaves.

“What the fuck....” She grumbled, taking a big step back from the hole. “Did not expect that.” 

Where:  Prewett Estate

Who: Team save  Sidney Burns ( @dogstxrsirius​ @emmaofvanity​ @mfletcher​ @adarkershadeofalice​ ) 

Dorcas was ready, and she was wanting to go now. Nothing fuelled her more than muggleborns at risk. Of course, a lot of that came from being a muggleborn herself. But Dorcas could remember being exactly where these four children were. No idea about the world they were about to enter in, feeling like they were the odd one out. And she could remember coming into the wizarding world, and suddenly everything making sense. These four children needed to experience that, and Dorcas would do anything to make sure that happened. So, she was feeling ready to go. No death eater was going to get Sidney. She was going to make sure of that.

After apparating to the entry room, Dorcas had made her way to the room in the estate that they’d said they would all meet up in. She had to admit to herself that she was feeling a little nervous. This was almost a make it or break it for her. She didn’t know if she could handle losing anymore muggleborns, not after Mary. The angst she was feeling, just made her want to go and get out there.

But a las. For now she had to wait for the rest of her team to arrive.

DATE: June 24th, 1984, Post FIREEEE

WHO: Dorcas and Emma (  @emmaofvanity​  )

Dorcas was usually a rational and well put together person. She was usually a person who was not frightened of anything. But put together bees and fire, and well Dorcas was freaking out. The fact that she’d then watched her friend, and kind of friend both jump through fire. Well, it was just adding to her day really. This was not going to go down in history as her favourite day. But Dorcas was a hit witch. And she needed to pull herself together. They had to get rid of this fire, or try to contain it anyway.

So she had to concentrate. At least, despite the intense heat, she gotten too burnt. Not yet anyway. There was some smoke inhalation. But not too much. It wasn’t as bad as her freaking out had been. At Alice’s instructions, Dorcas grabbed onto Emma’s hand, and tugged her, before running around to the other side of the house. Now she had a task, she felt a little calmer, even if she fire was still scaring her.

Once in position, Dorcas tried to do what she could to battle the fire. But nothing seemed to work. And what she did do tried to make the flames worse. She didn’t know what to do. And that scared her too. If anything, Alice’s patronus came at the perfect moment, to hopefully stop her panicking.

“ Cresswell's here! "We're going to try to hold the fire! Shield Charms as wide as you can make them, all sides at once. Use Protego Totalum!"

Dorcas nodded, as if Alcie could see her. It was a little idiotic to be honest. She spun around though, looking to Emma. “You get that? You ready?”
