WHO: Dorcas & Emmeline. WHAT: Dorcas comes to show Emmeline her travel photos...several days late. WHERE: Emmeline's flat in Hogsmeade. WHEN: Saturday, 29 January. Evening. RATING: Low. STATUS: Incomplete.
By now, Dorcas reasoned, her friends really ought to expect her to not keep her engagements. Or, keep her engagements in her own time. And she'd never really told Emmeline exactly when she was going to come over with her photographs from France. Just that should would. Soon. And really, four days later was pretty soon.
Thus, Sunday evening found Dorcas standing outside of Emmeline's front door, a box of developed photos tucked under one arm, and a tin full of cookies, still warm from the oven, under the other. Hopefully the prospect of homemade backed good would annul any annoyances at someone appearing unexpectedly at her doorstep. Actually, Dorcas wasn't even sure if Emmeline would be home right now. She knocked again, enjoying the sight of her breath clouding in the cold. Well, if Emmeline wasn't in, Dorcas thought she might take herself down to the Three Broomsticks for some butterbeer and see what was going on there for a few hours. There would always be tomorrow.
