frank couldn’t contain his smile, a common issue had when he was around Alice, he grabbed at her feet to stop anymore kicking attempts, whether they were futile or not. “don’t tell your dad it was hard enough to get him to like me in the first place.” he said, having equally idolized but also very intimidated by gervais fortescue. He almost laughed out loud when alice mentioned the tournament, “merlin help me if we’re both picked for the tournament. you don’t have to blackmail me into forfeiting, i’d do it anyways.” he said leaning in slightly, “you would have to go on the run al’ because you’d have a murder on your hands.”  he said his voice low but his face giving away any seriousness to the conversation, “you could kiss the aurors office goodbye, they wouldn’t be able to hire an on-the-run criminal, responsible for the killing of young handsome genius, frank longbottom.” 

“The young handsome genius? This compartment is getting a little bit snug, your ego is taking up too much room. I’m kicking you out, not literally because you’ve so RUDELY grabbed my legs, but, you’re no longer welcome! My aura went from welcoming to fuck off, Frank!” Alice once again laughed, giving up at chance of actually kicking him despite her words, crossing her arms. “Oi, my dad liked you fine, he’s just really French. Like, overwhelmingly French. Like, having dinner by the Siene and complaining about how warm it is, with a cigarette dangling from his hand, French.” There was one thing that Frank said that caused Alice to become a tad bit more serious than she was, even if he had been joking, she felt compelled to pick further. “But you’re not the giving up type. I’ll beat you fair and square, but let’s say I didn’t win for some freak reason -- I’d want you to win. And you’d better. I’ve a list of people I’m okay with losing to.”

She always had that about her, that look of otherness, of eyes that see things much too far, and of thoughts that wander off the edge of the world.

returning to hogwarts after the summer had always posed some kind of relief. ever since her sister, petunia, had discovered that lily was a witch, she’d seemed intent on making her life harder. now more than ever, since she’d turned seventeen & was officially allowed to use magic outside of hogwarts. she tried her best not to, knowing the squabble it would cause, but one simple household spell when she thought tuney wasn’t looking was enough to set them off bickering. her father & mother were her saving graces. & of course, her colorpoint ragdoll cat who she’d regrettably named fluffy when she was four years old, who hadn’t left her side since.

an overstatement, perhaps, seeing as the cat seemed to enjoy hogwarts even more than she did & was currently running away from her, sprinting between the students until she decided to settle on one, jumping at their leg.

“ fl –– florentina ! ” lily screamed the first fake name she could think of after the cat ( because after a while, having to explain the train thought of your four year old self got tiring ), even though she obviously wouldn’t listen, & ran towards the student who’d been attacked, removing fluffy from their leg. “ i’m sorry about her. she thinks she’s a dog sometimes. ”

“Oh, Lily, don’t say that, you’ll make me miss my dogs now,” Alice frowned as the cat was removed from her leg, genuinely disappointed. It had been over a week since Alice was very cruelly separated from Bonaparte, Baby and Kiwi -- the pictures in her dorm just didn’t have the same effect as her dogs did in the flesh. She missed them, wanting to bring up with Dumbledore, McGonagall, Slughorn, really, ANYONE who had power & would listen to her argument: that they needed to allow dogs at Hogwarts. Even though she didn’t have much time left, she’d be appreciative of ANY extra time in the year with her animals. 

An idea flashed like a lightbulb in Alice’s head as she remembered that Lily was Head Girl. Maybe, just maybe, she’d have the power to let them have dogs in school. “You know, Miss Head Girl, I’m sure they’d listen to you if you suggested and brought up they allow dogs in the school. I’ll have your back in any way I can. I know at least one person that would help us. I could write a petition up?” Alice had become more and more animated as she talked, completely into the idea of making a petition, hoping Lily would back her up. 

“Either way, Lily, the longer I suffer from withdrawals the more inclined I’ll be to steal your very fluffy very playful cat Florentina. Which is a LOVELY name for a cat, by the way. Especially this one. Can I hold her? Or d’you think she’ll make a run for it again?”

it was nice to be at hogwarts again. greta had missed the place that she had grown to call home while she had been back at the farm for the summer. & while being with her family was nice, nothing was quite like hogwarts. she was sitting out by the lake & enjoying the summer sun while it was still around. the lake provided a cooling breeze, while greta laid back on a blanket she had brought - she wore shorts & a tank top, her eyes clothes as she relaxed. she almost appeared asleep.  that was until she heard steps coming towards her & felt her sun being blocked out with a shadow. without opening her eyes, greta spoke. “ do you really have to stand there ? ”

Alice gave a look down at who she now recognized as a sunbathing Greta, wishing she could join her in relaxing. How she wished she could just laze around that day, considering how beautiful it was out. But, there was WORK to be done, a schedule to stick to, Alice couldn’t afford to fall behind this year -- especially with the tournament coming up. Should she be chosen, Alice was going to have a lot more on her plate. She didn’t mind, but she knew she had to stay on her classes, practices, everything. 

“I’m doing a Divination assignment, it’ll only be a minute or two, I doubt your tan will suffer too much, Greta,” Alice replied, bending down to pick up a twig that had been directly in front of Greta. “Lying in the sun sounds SO nice right now.”

frank rolled his eyes slightly, before entering alice’s compartment, “of course, how could i even suggest it.” he said dropping his carry-on bag next to him as he sat across from alice, picking up her legs and placing them on his lap, “how’s this ms. fortescue?” he asked, (finding himself hilarious though his sense of humour had always been a bit, well, easy). he followed her gaze for a moment to the window, before looking back to her. “well blimey, if i’d known that i would have just slept in for the day!” he said smiling, “i’d love to go for a drive with my favourite fortescue.” he teased. 

“Perfect. You are a FANTASTIC foot rest Mr. Longbottom! In case the whole Auror thing doesn’t work out, you’ve got a future in the human foot rest business,” she couldn’t help but grin at their banter, happy to have Frank around even if it hadn’t been more than a week since she’d last seen him. Alice couldn’t help but laugh, attempting to kick him with her foot but failing as her legs were too short. “You know I’M not offended by that obviously inflammatory statement but Da? He might stop sending you letters and gifts and such. HONESTLY, you’re going to have find a way to bribe me or something so I keep my mouth shut. Maybe if, no, when we’re both picked for the tournament you ... forfeit!” Looking back at Frank, Alice was far too satisfied with her own ideas. “Or actually, put Tickling Charms on the competition before each task starts. There. Do that and I’ll never tell good ol’ Gervais that you prefer his brother over him AND his kid.”

“ — you’re ALWAYS thinking dangerous thoughts, alice. ” she cast an amused glance at the other girl, knowing how hard she must be working to contain her excitement. “ — if lucius gets chosen, well, let’s hope the tournament’s famed mortality rates aren’t just a rumour. ” andromeda gave alice a grin, eyes flashing with dark humour. at alice’s promise of training, she looked ahead again, her smile turning wry. “ — i’m not putting my name in, actually. ”

Maybe by Andromeda’s standards, Alice thought dangerous thoughts, but she did have a point. Alice was far too open minded and ambitious for her own good, though she personally felt both traits were her saving grace. Her compass. At her comment about Lucius, Alice managed to ‘cough’ into her elbow to prevent from BREAKING out into laughter, “you’re really really playing the ‘let’s try to make Alice crack game’ is this my first test for the tournament?” Even though Alice wasn’t smiling there was an amused twinkle in her eye filled with admiration for her friend. “You’re not? Why’s that?”
