Summary
Day one, Monday, September fifth: Dorcas Meadowes
James and Lily are rushing home to Harry, Remus is guiding Sirius away with a hand to his back, Peter is helping Emmeline put up her hood, Frank and Alice are holding hands under their umbrella. Dorcas will never have that. Not again.
She is stuck.
Stuck here, at this headstone. One in thousands. Like the raindrops pouring down her face, pouring down the evidence that yes, once upon a time, Marlene had lived, this instance is ordinary. It has happened hundreds of times, and it will happen hundreds more. But for Dorcas, this is the end. This singular headstone in the graveyard, this singular raindrop in the thunderstorm, is all she will ever have.

Summary
Day two, Tuesday, September Sixth: Alice Longbottom
She rocks in her chair, and she stares at Neville, and as horrible as it is, she yearns for more. She loves her son, with everything in her. But still..
It feels almost anticlimactic. Years of fighting, and all it takes is one missing little boy.
It feels like it’s not over.
Like he’s not safe.
