lydia wasn’t completely thrown off when she got a good look at the girl. it must have been the girl that james had been talking about, though she barely even know james herself but he reminded her of a younger verison of her older brother. which was somewhat comforting since she was completely alone without her family here. tilting her head a little, she soon made herself known by clearing her throat, “ hi !! yeah, uh please don’t freak out.” she made sure that was one of the first things she said because she knew screaming wasn’t far behind unless the other girl was use to people looking like her. “ you must be the friend james was talking about. he said we looked like twins, he didn’t say it was like looking in a mirror. i’m lydia, it’s nice to finally run into you.”
lost in her own thoughts, alice didn’t really PROCESS what was happening instantly. mouth agape a little, she starred. eyes blinking once or twice, hoping the other girl wasn’t real. was her MIND playing tricks on her ?? “uhm---” unsure of what to say next, all of this was jarring. in high stake situations, alice was prone to spontaneous hiccupping, which came on quickly. whilst hiccupping the young witch studied the other closely. rising from her seat with quick feet.
“james--- james sirius potter ??” asked the hiccuping hufflepuff. who else would it be ?? thinking this in her own mind while still inspecting the other. was it quite strange for lydia ( as she referred to herself as ) to see herself. exact replica with such different histories. “alice longbottom----” sounding hazy as she spoke, “i could kill james for NOT TELLING ME. this is bloody mad !!”
