@SanguineCharm Dorcas giggled a little. Godric, why did she have to be so cute? "Marlene, I've known you for years now. I know you're --

@SanguineCharm -- not ladylike," she teased.

@SanguineCharm Dorcas laughed and shook her head. "There's a difference between pretending and lying," she said. She picked up a grape --

@SanguineCharm -- and popped it into her mouth. Dorcas glanced over at Marlene and cleared her throat. "What about you, though?" she --

@SanguineCharm -- asked, genuinely curious, "Anything happening in your love life?"

@SanguineCharm Dorcas couldn't help but feel a little jealous at the thought of Diggory eyeing up Marlene. "Amos is nice but I --

@SanguineCharm -- understand," she replied, "What is your type?"

@SanguineCharm Dorcas felt her heart skip a beat. "Oh, that's nice," she said, smiling at her. Dorcas wanted to tell her so bad and --

@SanguineCharm -- on several occasions, she felt the words creep up in her throat only to be pushed back down again.

@SanguineCharm Dorcas smiled a little and glanced down at her plate of food. "Quite right," she murmured. Her stomach was churning, --

@SanguineCharm -- suddenly none of the food seemed all that appealing.

@SanguineCharm Dorcas chuckled lightly and turned to look at Marlene, leaning against the table with her chin in her hand. "Too serious --

@SanguineCharm -- for you. It scared me a little," she teased.

@SanguineCharm Dorcas grinned at her and bit down lightly on her bottom lip. "I don't think I believe you, McKinnon," she said in a --

@SanguineCharm -- sing-song voice.

@SanguineCharm Dorcas grinned a little. "Please. That's not even remotely close," she replied, "I've never seen Sirius act serious for --

@SanguineCharm -- more than five seconds."
