Marlene ran down the stairs, heading to Hogsmeade for the day. She was running late to meet up with Mary and Lily, having been in detention that morning. Her trainers untied, Marlene ran as she put on her denim jacket. Until abruptly halting at the sight of Dorcas Meadowes, standing in the castle's front door.

They turned at the sight of her.

"What do you want?" Marlene huffed, trying to walk past them and out of the castle.

Dorcas stopped her, "You've been avoiding me."

Marlene felt her stomach drop, her eyes begging to flee. She folded her arms and tried to leave once more.

Dorcas stopped her, "Stop running away, Mckinnon! Just tell me why you've been avoiding me!"

"Why do you care?" Marlene groaned, "We hate each other, you can't stand the sight of me so why can't you just be happy about my absence?"

Dorcas stuttered, a small frown gracing their face.

"I don't know."

Marlene turned, walking through the doorway and outside.

"But I do know you love antagonising me. So why stop now?"

"Maybe I just got bored of it", she huffed, refusing to turn around.

Dorcas stepped outside, "Maybe. But I don't think that's it."

She risked a glance to them, "What do you think is it then?"

Dorcas took another step, "Why do people ignore someone?"

"Hatred." Marlene bared her teeth as she spoke.

Dorcas took yet another step, inches away from Marlene and noticed the growing blush on the girl's cheeks.

They smirked, "I've seen your hatred. I know your hatred more than anyone, and it's burning, bright and looming. You express your hatred, not avoid it."

Marlene's eyes flicked to their lips, "You know nothing about me."

They raised their eyebrows, "Oh yeah?"
