Dorcas Meadows

History: Her father, Jasper, is a muggle, and her mother, Quinn, is a witch, making her a half-blood. She is their only child, although it wasn't always so, but her baby brother died in the night as an infant when she was four. Dorcas doesn't remember much about him, and if it weren't for pictures she would probably think he had simply been a dream, as her parents rarely if ever speak of their late son.

She grew up in the heart of London, not far off from Diagon Alley. Her mother had always been open about being a witch, so she wasn't surprised by her letter from Hogwarts when she received it. Even as a child outside of the castle, Dorcas didn't seem to have many friends. Not to mention she became rather sensitive of her name, which to her fellow peers seemed to be all too fitting for the girl. She told herself, however briefly, that her journey to Hogwarts would symbolize the turning of a new leaf. Before she got on the train she decided she would give herself a new name, a better name, something dramatic, feminine. Delilah was the first thing she could think of, it was one of the characters from her mom's romance novels. Delilah Meadows, it was perfect. Unfortunately Dorcas didn't take one thing into consideration, the sorting ceremony. Having somewhat impressed some new friends with her flowery name, and little 'popular' act on the train. It is no surprise that when "Dorcas Meadows" was called up there fell an eerie silence. No one got up for what seemed a long moment, until a set of giggles erupted from the crowd of first years. Ashamed, Dorcas did eventually step up to be sorted, humiliated beyond belief. She would never live this day down, and her little white lie condemned her to more teasing.

Instead of concentrating on friends, she thrived in her studies, often confused for some sort of Ravenclaw in Gryffindor's clothing. She even made prefect when the time came, fortunate that the title wasn't one of a
popularity contest.

Disclaimer: I don't own the character Dorcas Meadows, she belongs to JK Rowling and all those affliated with the Harry Potter series. I simply use her as a character on drkphoenixrisng . So please, no suey suey.
