Characters: Dorcas Meadowes & Narcissa Black
Setting: September 16 • Late evening, after Dinner • Outside the Great Hall, later the Kitchens.
Content: SFW
Summary: Dorcas & Narcissa get up to some mischief as they sneak down to the Kitchen.
Status: In Progress

After the performance at dinner Dorcas couldn't seem to shake off her good mood and when Narcissa asked her to sneak down to the kitchens with her, Dor couldn't refuse. The first reason being her obvious good mood, the second being that she hadn't really spent time with Narcissa since they'd arrived back for the semester and the third being the fact that Dorcas almost always did the right thing and well, sometimes she had to let her hair down.

A few hours after dinner she had briefly talked to Cissa about meeting up and sneaking to the kitchens over the journals. Within a matter of ten minutes she was dressed and heading down to the Great Hall. She had opted for her favorite pair of blue jeans, a plain white t-shirt that fitted her perfectly, her new blue cardigan that her muggle aunt had given her and topped her outfit off with a knitted maroon hat.

Once she reached the agreed meeting place she thought of were she'd be less noticeable. Once she scanned the entrance hall she wandered over to the corner and leaned against the wall hoping she wouldn't get spotted by Flich or a prefect.

When she left the Gryffindor common room, she'd been extra cautious not to be spotted by any of her friends. It wasn't that Dorcas was ashamed of being friends with Cissy, she just didn't want anyone to kill her good mood with another lecture about befriending Narcissa Black.

Though, Dorcas thought she would be used to the lectures by now but they still made her upset, no matter how hard she tried to ignore the comments. Narcissa and Dorcas had become friendly in her fourth year. They'd meet through Astronomy Club and despite anyone's 'advice' Dorcas had become rather close with the fifth year Slytherin. Dorcas believed that everyone had good in them, even if they did belong to the house of green. This belief had caused Dorcas to give Narcissa a chance and she had never regretted it.

The best thing about their friendship is they didn't run in the same circles, and when you're a Gryffindor everybody knows everybody's business, so it was refreshing to have Narcissa as a friend. Sometimes, Cissy was the only person Dorcas could be completely honest with, Dorcas had put a lot of trust into their friendship and valued it even as much as she valued Lily's and Kira's friendship.

She pushed off the wall with her foot and instinctively pulled out her wand from her rather large pockets when she heard footsteps. It was rather dark and wasn't completely sure if it was her friend approaching. "Lumos" she said quietly as she held out her wand in front of her hoping it wasn't a prefect because then she would have been busted, though she instantly felt relieved when she spotted the shadows of Narcissa's familiar curly locks.

"Cissa!" She called out rather excitedly, trying to keep her voice down. Whenever they went on one of their midnight adventures they always had the best time and Dorcas was rather hyper tonight. She stepped out from her corner and moved into the limited light that shined through the large window.

Dorcas rolled her eyes at Narcissa's remark about being a Slytherin. No matter how many times Dorcas had heard it, she still managed to be caught off guard. To Dorcas, Narcissa was a kind and generous person, even if the sorting hat saw her differently and well, Narcissa's house always seemed to to slip her mind especially when she compared Narcissa to the likes of Rabastan Lestrange.

She laughed, shaking her head and rolling her eyes again. "Of course you are. No one is as generous as the Narcissa Black." She said playfully with a hint of sarcasm as they moved past the Great Hall, heading towards the very familiar staircase. Whether it was night or day, Dorcas made frequent trips to the Kitchens. She always had her usual craving for something sweet but she also found the house elves terribly amusing and she probably spent a little too much time there.

She watched as Narcissa fell silent before mentioning the particular ghost that every student knew well. Peeves. He could be the pain of Dorcas' existence or quite an amusing fellow. Dorcas was on rather good terms with the other ghosts, well those who paid her attention, even Bloody Baron. Peeves was a different story, like every other student in the castle, Dorcas had spent enough time with Peeves to last her a life time. She laughed almost silently, "Oh come on Cissa. I don't think he is that bad and besides he's made quite a duet partner on a number of occasions." As much as Dorcas said she disliked the ghost, their relationship was one of a love-hate. Love, if he was being friendly towards her, while on the other side of the fence, she has been known to the throw him a few hateful glances when he screams 'student out of bed' down the halls when she is feeling a little rebellious. When Dorcas is in a particularly good mood she's known for showing a kindness towards Peeves, even singing a tune with him, regardless of her voice being just as frightening as his.

Halfway down the staircase, Dorcas picked up her pace, eager to reach the kitchen. She turned her head to face Narcissa, keeping up her pace. "How's everything over on your side of the castle? I hope my Narcissa hasn't broken too many hearts since she's been back." She teased playfully.
