"Marlene couldn't of had a child. It's impossible" Rosaleé said as she placed down Violas letter.

"Did she have any relatives?" Remus asked

"No, no" Rosaleé waved "the entire McKinnon blood line was wiped out. There's something strange about this Rem" she hummed

"Did Marlene ever mention anything about a Niece or nephew? A lover?" Remus asked playing with Rosaleés hair trying to sooth her 

Rosaleé shook her head "no, she kept herself to herself in the years after Hogwarts. She didn't exactly seem secretive but I always felt like there was something she wasn't tell me about. I figured she was stressed out with the order and would tell me when she was ready. Though I guess she never had the chance"

"Do you have any idea what's going on?" Remus asked curiously

"A flicker" Rosaleé replied "I'm not certain. Im going to Marlenes old apartment. You remember the one in central London?"

"Rose that's insane! It's too dangerous to go outside. Plus it's all in ruins"

"Remus, you know I respect and take your advice under consideration. But after much deliberation I've decided to not listen to you"

"You can't-"

"So you can either, come with me or stay here whining. Which one is it?" Rosaleé asked Remus with a smile.

Remus groaned before grabbing his jacket, "I do hate you a little bit"


Rosaleé and Remus stood in front of Marlenes old apartment door.

"Alohomora" Remus said as the door clicked while Rosaleé walked in.

Looking through the room Rosaleés heart hurt. The furniture had been turned over, pots were smashed on the floor, the windows had been shattered, the bed unmade. Marlene never did make her bed even back at Hogwarts. A thick layer of dust covered everything that wasn't under cover.

"What are we doing here Rose?" Remus asked

"Looking for something" she replied

"Very detailed"

Rosaleé made her way through the kitchen looking through all the draws finding nothing but cutlery, pots and pans. Moving to Marlenes bedroom she walked over to the bedside table, pulling open the draw. Reaching in she pulled out an old piece of folded paper.

Unfolding it with trembling hands soft tears gathered in her eyes.

She could hear Marlene talking as she read

Rosa,Lily,Mary and Alice,

I know at least one of you, or all of you will be reading this at some point because you're all nosey hoes.

This letters going to be really fucking depressing right now, so I'll try to make it not as cliché (I know you hate that shit Lils, you're welcome)

But if you're reading this it means I've died to put it plain and simply. I know, I know, quite unfortunate for you all. Especially me.

Perhaps we'll all be dead, I don't know.

But obviously you're not dead if you're reading this.

I didn't want to you all to think I died bitter and alone. So, here's my grand confession.

Dun dun dun

Ohhh dramatic affects

I didn't die alone! Wow

Plot twist, I'm married.

Second plot twist, to Dorcas Meadows.

I can picture your responses right now
Alice, pick your jaw up off the floor.
Lily, blink darling. You're eyes will get dry.
Mary, please don't fall and Rosa don't swear Infront of Alice.

Was I accurate?

But in all seriousness, I wanted to tell you. I really did.
But with everything happening at the moment Dorcas wanted our relationship to be a secret. We felt as if we kept it quite it would last longer. Keep us safe, in a way.
Well we were fucking wrong I guess.

If you bitches don't believe me the rings there as well, next to the letter.

I love you girls so much. And I know I'll miss you terribly. You were my family.

-Marlene McKinnon

Rosaleé placed the letter down on the bedside table and wiped away her tears before turning the ring over in her fingers.

The girl couldn't of been Marlene's. She was dead years before she was born. But she was most likely Dorcas' child. The father? She didn't know. But she was Dorcas' child.

Folding the letter into her pocket she blink a few times flushing the tears away and slid the ring onto her finger so she didn't lose it.

"Rem!" Rosaleé called "let's go home"

A/N

I miss Lily, Rosa, Mary and Alice too much.

For plot purposes can we just say that Dorcas died after Maisie was born, thank yous :)
