she rubbed alice’s hand. “i remember when you caught marlene, lily and i sneaking out of the dorm. you told us to run off before someone sees us; i appreciated it, especially since, you know, you were the head girl, you could have just given us detention.”
alice was looking somewhere, at a certain spot on the wall, a slight smile on her face, almost as if, through a haze, she could remember.
“and then, right after we graduated, you and frank invited us to your wedding. lily almost didn’t come, her parents didn’t want to let her, because they thought it would be dangerous, but you and frank came over and told them that you’re aurors, and that we’d be safe. augusta wore that tacky hat again.” mary rolled her eyes. “has no one told her that it’s out of date?”
alice chuckled, looking over to the bed in which her husband was, and nodded.
“and you had a huge cake and lots of guests and even moody was laughing!” mary exclaimed, letting out a chuckle. “i think it was the only time i ever saw him laugh, really. you had s knack for bringing the best out of people, did you know that?”
the other woman looked at her, and smiled. mary knew that she didn’t remember anything of what she said, but there was something in her, maybe her own delusions, that felt that, deep within her, somewhere inaccessible, alice might have a few of the memories tucked away.
“you were our role model in school, but i don’t think you knew that. we looked up to you a lot, as younger girls. we wanted to be cool like you, with short, choppy hair and wide smiles and something that seemed to be genuine happiness. i’m gonna tell you a secret; sometimes, i wished i was your younger sister.”
mary smiled at alice one last time, then got up. she pressed a kiss to the woman’s forehead, then winked at frank, who had, in the meantime, gotten up and started listening, with interest, to mary’s story.
“your turn next time, frankie.” she waved, closing the door behind her, both of the patients giving her a serene, warm smile.
mary left st. mungo’s feeling hollow as ever, but there was a small, flickering light that had started burning in her.

the absolute angel @shelter-maki0 drew these beautiful masterpieces inspired by my fanfics Contrapasso and Mary Magdalene. I can't describe how touched I am. @shelter-maki0, to me, is probably the greatest Tomharrymort artist there is and her works, that always look haunting and fairy-tale like, inspire me endlessly. These are so beautiful and I can't stop looking at them. 私は光栄です。どうもありがとうございます!
