002 - Here goes nothing.
Seeing as how I've been literally hiding out in the Leaky for the past month, afraid of my shadow, I have decided that it is time to stop being afraid. So, here goes nothing.

Hello, everyone. My name is Dorcas Meadowes, and contrary to popular belief, I am not dead.

I suppose you're right. But you seem to be doing well. Regulus mentioned to me that you'd opened your own clinic.

It's been a difficult twenty years, and I still haven't decided if it is something I should talk about or if I should just forget it entirely and try to move on. ~~Except that being here has brought on a lot of nightmares, so it's difficult to ignore.~~

	Oh, you've spoken to Regulus? And yes, I have - it's located in Diagon Alley. Couldn't really settle at the hospital. In my personal experience, it's best to just live in the present and look towards the future. I don't want to dwell in the past any longer. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes, I actually ran into him the first night I was in town. It was a rather... unsettling reunion. I don't think I could ever really settle at a hospital, but I'm just not a fan of them in general. That's good advice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He seems to have that effect upon seeing him again after quite some time. It gave me good training - but I'm definitely happier out on my own. And thanks. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I went to the Leaky for a drink and ran into Dorcas. I didn't tell you or anyone else for that matter because she was kind of freaked out about being back here, so I figured it would be best for her to break the news to everyone when she was ready instead of having a lot of people hounding her right off the bat.

Went for a short walk with her, got her back to the Leaky, and went home for the evening.

	You don't have to explain anything to me, Regulus. I'm not going to be that kind of woman who tells you that you can't have female friends. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I didn't think that you were. I just wanted to be honest and make things clear. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Really, Regulus - it's unnecessary. I trust you. (Reply to this) (Parent)
