Dorcas was having a perfectly normal day, thank you very much. Of course, as normal as it could be when you were friends with Regulus Black and dating Marlene McKinnon. Of course, Dorcas loved her friends and girlfriend very much, but sometimes they could really get on her nerves.
Dorcas sighed as she scrolled through the latest messages, her phone buzzing non-stop in her hand.

Regulus:sends a picture of James flying during a Quidditch match
Regulus: LOOK AT HIM!
Regulus: HOW IS HE EVEN REAL?!
Barty: Reg, I swear to Salazar, if you don’t shut up about James Potter, I’m going to drown myself in the lake.
Barty: No, actually I’m going to drown YOU in the lake.
Evan: It’s literally been YEARS, Reg. I can’t take this anymore. Barty, let’s lock him out of the dorm until he asks James out.
Barty: YES.
Regulus: You wouldn’t.
Regulus: Evan, I swear on Merlin himself, if you try to lock me out of the dorm I’m setting your hair on fire.
Pandora: They’re right though, Reg. You should just tell James, what’s the worst that could happen?
Dorcas: Yeah, he’s literally a teddy bear, Reg.
Regulus: Sirius would murder me. That’s the worst that could happen.
Barty: Lol, I’d pay good money to see Sirius finding out about your little (not so little) crush on his best friend.
Barty: Maybe we should just tell Sirius, he would definitely do something about this situation.
Regulus: Barty, I will literally chop your hands off and sow your mouth shut before I let you EVER have a conversation with Sirius.
Barty: Don’t threaten me with a good time 😏
Evan: B, don’t go anywhere, I’m omw.
Regulus: EWWWWWW, NOW I CAN’T GO BACK TO THE DORM YOU BASTARDS.
Regulus: PANDORA, CONTROL YOUR BROTHER.
Pandora: I’ve tried, it never works.
Dorcas: B, you’re fucking disgusting, I don’t need to know about your kinks.

Dorcas sighed and set her phone aside to rub her temples. She loved her friends, truly, but sometimes they could be exhausting to say the least. She switched back to her chat with Marlene who had sent her a video of a cat wearing a tiny hat.
------ Marlene and Dorcas’s Chat ------
Marlene: LOOK AT THIS CAT.
Dorcas: It’s very cute, babe.
Marlene: CUTE? IT’S FUCKING ADORABLE IS WHAT IT IS.
Dorcas: Sure, babe.
Marlene: You’re not appreciating this cat enough.
Dorcas: When we graduate next year and move in together you can have as many cats as you’d like.
Marlene: REALLY?
------ The Skittles GC ------
Regulus:sends picture of James at the beach laying in the sun
Regulus: IT SHOULD BE FUCKING ILLEGAL TO LOOK THAT GOOD.
Pandora: Reg, you know I love you, but please.
Pandora: PLEASE
Pandora: Just stop drooling over him in the group chat
Pandora: Just TALK TO HIM
Regulus: BUT I CAN’T, WHAT IF HE HATES ME AFTER.
Dorcas to Marlene: Reg, you’re being ridiculous, James clearly likes you back. Have you seen the way he looks at you?
------ Marlene and Dorcas’s chat ------
Marlene: REGULUS LIKES JAMES?
Dorcas: MARLS THAT WAS MEANT FOR THE GROUP CHAT.
Dorcas: DON’T YOU DARE TELL ANYONE.
Marlene: TOO LATE, I’M TELLING JAMES.
Dorcas: MARLENE, NO
Marlene: MARLENE, YES
------
Dorcas groaned, burying her face in her hands. This was going to be a disaster. Regulus was going to kill her. Then again, maybe it would be the push James and Regulus needed.
------ The Gryffindor’s GC ------
Marlene: JAMES, YOU WILL NEVER GUESS WHO HAS A CRUSH ON YOU
James: Who?
Sirius: Who?!!!!!
Peter: I bet I know…
Sirius: WORMY!
Marlene: REGULUS!
James: WHAT
Sirius: WHAT?
Sirius: THAT LITTLE BRAT!
Sirius: HE DIDN’T TELL ME!!!
Sirius: WHY DID HE TELL YOU, MARLENE, AND NOT ME.
Marlene: He didn’t.
Marlene: Dorcas accidentally sent me a message meant for the Slytherin’s gc.
Marlene: BUT THAT’S NOT THE POINT.
Marlene: JAMES, I SWEAR TO FUCK, IF YOU DON’T DO ANYTHING ABOUT YOUR CRUSH ON HIM NOW I’M GOING TO MURDER YOU.
Marlene: I CAN’T DEAL WITH YOUR PINING ANYMORE.
Sirius: HIS WHAT
Remus: He’s screaming into his pillow right now…
Remus: Fuck my life.
Sirius: Yes, fuck me Moony 😏
Marlene: Ew, disgusting, go away.
Sirius: YOU CAN’T TELL ME TO GO AWAY.
Sirius: YOU JUST TOLD ME MY BROTHER HAS A CRUSH ON MY BEST FRIEND.
Sirius: AND THAT MY BEST FRIEND LIKES HIM BACK AND NEVER TOLD ME.
James: You know what, I couldn’t care less about that, Pads.
James: BECAUSE REGULUS FUCKING LIKES ME BACK.
James: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Remus: James, Marlene is right.
Remus: Go fucking talk to him, I can’t deal with your pining anymore.
Sirius: NOT YOU TOO MOONY MINE
Sirius: YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO BE MY BOYFRIEND!
Sirius: HOW COULD YOU BETRAY ME LIKE THIS?
Remus: Don’t worry, love
Remus: I’ll make it up to you 😏
Sirius: omw
Marlene: STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP
Lily: Remus, I love you, but you need to stop using the gc to have sex with your boyfriend.
Peter: Guess I’m going to the library.
James: I should be angry about being kicked out of my dorm.
James: BUT I DON’T CARE.
------ The Skittles GC ------
Dorcas: So I may have made a mistake…
Regulus: What did you do?
Dorcas: I may have accidentally…
Dorcas: Maybe…
Dorcas: Sent Marlene a text that was meant for the gc…
Regulus: AND WHAT DID THIS MESSAGE SAY EXACTLY?
Dorcas: That you like James…
Regulus: DORCAS
Barty: HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
Evan: LMAO
Pandora: Oh my god
Dorcas: IT WAS AN ACCIDENT
Regulus: Ok.
Regulus: Ok, it’s fine.
Dorcas: Really?
Regulus: It’s fine, as long as Marlene doesn’t tell anyone.
Dorcas: …
Regulus: WHAT’S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN???
Dorcas: I’m sorry Reg
Dorcas: I tried to stop her
Dorcas: But she wouldn’t budge!
Barty: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Regulus: BARTY STOP LAUGHING OR I’LL DROWN YOU IN THE LAKE
------ James and Regulus’s chat ------
James: Hey, Reg.
James: Dorcas probably already told you what happened…
James: Would you like to go to Hogsmeade with me this weekend?
