Wandering Alice

Alice & Lysander; Once In A While

“Adorable for now.” Lysander said with a smile. “Soon enough she’ll be a force to be reckoned with.” He said, almost as if he were trying to assure the dragon herself. “Don’t need to breathe fire to put fear into man. We’ll show them now won’t we?” He continued to speak to the baby dragon, watching as she disappeared under the water once more. He felt for magical creatures alike, but dragons more specifically. They were seriously misunderstood creatures - a little like himself, he liked to think.  “Anywho, tell me more about your adventures in the muggle world. We can chat over lunch. You’re hungry, aren’t you?” He offered, getting up and grabbing a towel for Alice figuring as they were both wet with dirty tub water now. But Lysander wasn’t bothered by it. He started to go off towards the kitchen, expecting Alice to follow after him.

“Hey, big dragons are still adorable in their own way.” Alice said, smiling as she watched the man talk to the baby dragon. It always fascinated her how much he knew about these creatures and how passionate he is towards them. When the man then returned his attention to her, she got the towel from him and wiped herself dry. The girl gave the baby dragon a wave, before she went to follow him into the kitchen “You know I’m always hungry.” she said, smiling at what he said. The girl went to take a seat “Serve me your best seven-course meal.” she then giggled at that. He knew that she was a hungry dragon herself, small but she could probably eat more than what you’d think is even possible with a small person like her.

Alice & Phoebe; Some Nights

Phoebe cast her darken irises at Alice just long enough to catch the other woman bite down on her lower lip. It was rare for someone to offer such sincere condolences to Phoebe. She was the cold, heartless Maddock after all. The one whose hardened exterior labeled her a bitch among countless other colorful titles. The one they all deemed would be just fine on her own. Despite her reputation, Phoebe nodded her thanks anyway towards the blonde, considering her offer. 

“Unless you’re interested in hunting down Alfie’s murders with me then I really won’t be needing anything from you.” Phoebe remarked already assuming that task was way more daunting than what Alice had bargained her. She pursed her crimson stained lips, a challenge poised on her tongue.“But do remember, I did your brother a solid for you.”

Alice looked up at the other “Oh, we appreciate that very much.” she started, as she gave the other a soft smile. Enough to show her that she meant what she said and she wasn’t trying to sweep the sensitive topic under the rug just yet “but uhm, what do you know about the murderers?” she then asked, as she tilted her head in curiosity at that “I mean, I don’t think I’ll be able to assist you every step of the way.” the girl explained “but I do live here and this is a pretty busy place.” she shrugged “I’ll keep my eyes and ears ready for any information about it, I promise.” despite the two barely knowing each other, they obviously shared massive amounts of love towards their own brother. Alice would hunt whoever hurt him, she would let herself get torn down to death just to avenge him. So, anything. Anything she is capable of, she is willing to give.

Alice & Frank; Children Of The Stars

He rolled his eyes, a smile still playing at his lips. “Well, as I narrate my adventure to you, you will find that I am very daring indeed.” Frank chuckled. He reciprocated the pressure his sister applied on his hand, cocking his head to one side as she took his hand in both of hers. “I did get it. I’m sorry for not telling you earlier, Al. I just didn’t want to come back empty handed to expectation.” Though this was partly true, he also treated Alice like his little sister. They weren’t that far apart in age, but she was possibly the only person Frank showered affection on before himself. It was true that the pub was their home, but Frank had made it clear it was not where he needed to move on to something else. That was one thing he loved about talking to Alice, he didn’t have to explicitly tell he everything for her to know what was running in his mind. “But before we get into it, tell me about your trip. Or your tiny brain will forget all the good bits!”

Alice smiled widely at what the man said, she was so happy for him. The girl squeaked and quickly went in for a hug “I’m so happy for you!” she said, giggling as she then pulled back to now get themselves a drink. With that, the girl looked over to the bartender and asked for a classic butterbeer for the both of them. Then, she shot her brother a mean old glare “You’re a stinker.” she teased. She does get sidetracked pretty easily, though once she has her mind set; she could ramble on and on about whatever she was talking about “Movies!” was the thing that fascinated her the most about the muggle world “Televisions and theaters. Not like staged theaters, ones with big pictures that show you all these acts.” she then said, smiling widely “Drawings too, the drawings are the best.” she mentioned cartoons this time, animations and such “The much simpler muggle plants are so easy to take care of too, they have such a short life though.” she now shrugged at that. Sure, they had roses and daisy’s too but there seems to be something in the air. Roses last weeks, theirs seem to last just a few days. Maybe it’s the water they’re placed in? The fertilizer? Who knows?

[forbiddenwanderingalice]

Alice & Frank; Children Of The Stars

Frank sat at the bar, his usual spot, and pondered over the last week. Normally, he would be engaged in conversation with one of the customers. But tonight, he was having a rare moment of introspection. He had wanted to tell Alice where he had been, but he knew that if it didn’t happen, he could not stand to disappoint her. He doubted that even his mother knew the whole situation. Neville had sent a few owls to his old friends, but the rest was up to Frank. He was glad that he had gotten the job, and it definitely made him feel a lot less guilty for leaving his parents during the lockdown.

A sharp shout snapped him back to his surroundings, and Frank grinned from ear to ear as he saw a familiar blonde approach him. “Hello, little Alice.” He said softly as she pulled him into a hug. “Trying to hug me to death, are you? Cute.” He noticed the extra effort his sister was putting in. As he let her go, he beamed. “Well, I’ll have you know I was out looking for a job.”

Alice knew that the extra squeeze wasn’t really going to do anything to the other, he was used to her so-called angry hugs by now. As he let her go, she pursed her lips together and took a seat beside him “You did?” she said, as she looked up at the other and reached out to poke at his cheek “How dare you.” she then said, as she let a small smile form on her lips right after. She reached over towards the closest hand to her and grabbed them a little violently, her way of telling him she’s mad is strangely affectionate. She held his hand and squeezed it tightly with her other two “Did you get it?” she then asked, knowing that the man wasn’t exactly into the idea of staying at the Leaky Cauldron. Hell, even their mother had to change the pace. They may never talk about much serious notes, but she could still sense her Brother’s desires. He liked to keep her in the loop when it’s on a happy note, rarely on a sad one.

Alice & Daniel; Little Talks

“Girl, I already left!” Danny had been couch jumping and aside from saving his galleons, it seemed more his style anyway. Staying in hotels was so… bougie, especially since he’s been mostly by himself. He long figured out that his friends had left before the travel ban, and it was sort of his fault that he was stuck for going to this exclusive party instead of leaving like he wanted. Besides, the Loch Ness Monster’s still out there. “Do you think this place really caters to people like me who count their coins in public?”

“You know, I don’t know how long I’ve been here? It’s been a while.” Danny tilted his head; she kept talking about Frank, and Danny wasn’t exactly on the greatest of terms with the guy. She seemed to know something that he didn’t, and there was just something a little creepy about her face. “What do you know about Frank-o? It’s not like you’ve been around here, you look kind of new – newer than me, that’s for sure…. So now I guess you’re just praying for a room to open up, yeah?”

He didn’t really like the sound of someone else coming in to be that random new person, since Danny was just used to being that guy who comes in for a day and disappears. Sure, Quidditch Bro and Dom were nice people, but it was hard to think that he had to stay here long enough to consider them friends and hard to think that he’d have to leave eventually. He sighed and sipped at his beer – though sipping was putting it lightly as he finished half of it in two gulps. Where the fuck was Quidditch Bro?

Alice shrugged “This place caters to everyone, really.” she admitted, which was true. They housed wizards and muggles, even muggles who had no idea that wizards existed. They don’t deny service to anyone, unless absolutely necessary. It was actually pretty nice growing up there, you’re never alone. Sure, she and Frank were barely allowed in the bar area of the business when they were kids - but sneaking in or staying seated behind the bar was fun too.

Listening to what the other said, Alice smiled at him. She and Frank didn’t really look alike, he looked more like their Father and she was more like their Mother. Sometimes she likes to mess with people and say Frank was just a friend who owes her money or something, but in the end, she admits to the truth. She’s not much of a liar, something Frank had to work with when they were kids. With that, she shrugged “I live here.” she admitted, no point of lying to him right now since she was in search of her brother after all “Frank’s my brother.” she then said, as she looked back at the bartender there and gave them a polite smile. A person who did know her just clocked in.

“Anyway...” the girl started, the siblings were practically trained to be polite and learn how to talk to their customers - considering they lived there and had to see, talk, and deal with a bunch or randoms every day “What brings you to our humble part of the woods?” she asked. The girl has just returned from her long trip away from the wizarding world, she usually knew everyone around their parts of the world - but a year, that’s a long time to be gone. So, she wasn’t sure if this person has already been here for a year or a month. Either way, she’d like to get to know him somehow.

Alice & Lorcan; Use Somebody

Lorcan chuckled “Yeah you’re probably right, I better feed you then,” he said with a grin. He shook his head at the question “Nope, I’d rather not risk losing a limb…Or my hair, I hear that’s probably a bit more common, I’d be the one to lose a limb though.” he said seriously. “Out of all the places we could eat you just want candy? Cause I mean sure but I feel like you’re just picking a cop out answer.” he teased “Well you’re the one who’s threatening to tell on me so you pick.” He said, noticing the group of girls at about the same time as she did, he recognized them as some of his girlfriends friends “Don’t worry about them,” he said, waving in their direction as he and Alice walked by them. 

Alice grinned when Lorcan agreed, there were times that Lysander did side with her when they were younger. The family siblings were pretty close growing up, there were times that she and Lorcan were against the other two “Glad you understand.” she said, lightly giggling as she then listened to his mention of not wanting to lose a limb. That’s one thing the Longbottoms and Scamanders were greatly different in, the Longbottoms apparated all the time. The siblings weren’t into the idea of riding brooms, it has come to the point where they don’t even notice when the other appears beside them. The Scamanders on the other hand, they preferred their brooms over their magical ability to disappear and re-appear. Either way, the two families got along. When the man mentioned candy, she nodded “Of course!” she said, lightly giggling. He of all people knew that she had a sweet tooth, she used to hide candies all the time. Who said she didn’t still do that though? “Are you telling me that you’ll buy me steak if I wanted you to?” the girl teased now, smirking then nodding when he mentioned to just ignore the girls that just passed by them “We can just head on home if that’s the case.” she then said, referring to the Leaky Cauldron as their home. The Scamanders visited them so much before, she didn’t mind referring to her home as their home when it came to the twins.

Alice & Frank; Children Of The Stars

Alice has been visiting the Leaky Cauldron's bar repeatedly. She had no idea where her brother was, for a pretty long time. When Hogwarts finally lifted the lockdown, the first thing she did was visit their parents. They were thankfully alright, but it has been a pretty rough time being locked up for so long. The two are back at the Leaky Cauldron, for now, enjoying their vacation and freedom. They assured her that Frank was alright, he left Harold in charge of the bar. Harold? Really? Nothing went wrong while he was in charge though, so that's good.

Going down the stairs and checking up on the bar once more, Alice finally saw him. Frank. "Frank!" the girl squealed, as she ran towards the man and just tackled him with a hug "Where were you?!" she then said, as she buried her face into him and squeezed him as tight as she could. Honestly, on purpose to let him know she was also mad that he wasn't there when she got back.

Alice & Lorcan; Use Somebody

Lorcan chuckled “He’s my twin, who’s side do you think he’d take?” he teased before nodding slightly “Yeah I know he does, he’s terrible, I don’t know why he’s so intent on getting his license now.” Lorcan said shaking his head slightly, he wasn’t even taking the classes unlike his brother, the idea of trying to apparate scared him honestly, that was something that could go really wrong really quickly and he’d rather not risk losing a limb. “where do you want to eat?” he asked her as they walked through the crowds of other students.

Alice shrugged at that “Whoever isn’t fed. I’m confident enough that he’ll side with me over you, if you don’t feed me.” she started, giggling as her eyes wandered and her feet followed the other “Heard you’re not much of an Apparator either?” she then said, as she looked up at the other and raised an eyebrow at her. She was all about Apparition, she highly prefers it over a broom. Hell, she hasn’t touched a broom for flying since her first year. The girl now thought about where to eat “Can we have candy?” she teased, giggling once more as she did so “No, uhm I don’t really mind.” she now added, as she let her eyes follow a group of girls who seemed to be looking at her and Lorcan while whispering to each other.

Alice & Lysander; Once In A While

“Water dragons often go without wings. Peculiar, isn’t she? I imagine it helps her swim a bit faster.” He set the small scaled beast back into the tub, watching as she disappeared under the murky water again. “I got her off a dragon dealer, poor thing.” He said. “They don’t breathe fire. Which makes her far less dangerous to handle. So she’s rare, but a little less valuable to most. And when dragon dealers are concerned, it’s all about value. They would have offed her, you know. She’s just lucky I found her when I did.” The small water dragon popped her head back up in the water, cocking it to the side and making a low vibrating rumble from the back of her throat. Then, she splashed Alice - making Lysander laugh. “Oh, yeah. Watch out for that, she loves to splash.”

“Huh, that makes sense.” Alice pursed her lips together and nodded at what he said, watching as he placed the little one back into the water. She smiled at the sight of her diving back in, soon disappearing altogether. The girl now looked back up at the other, listening to his mention of the dragon coming from a dragon dealer. With that, she gave the other yet another nod as a sign that she was listening “Rare, but cheap because buyers want the more dangerous types of creatures.” she said, before turning to the tub and smiling a little wider at the sight of this cute little creature tilting its head. Soon enough, she splashed her with water. Making her flinch and turn her head away from the other, squeaking as she did so. The girl laughed at the end, as she then turned back to the creature and gave them a big grin “She’s adorable.” she said, as she then stuck her tongue out teasingly to the dragon “Glad you saved her.”

Alice & Lorcan; Use Somebody

At first Lorcan really only ever hung around Alice when she was around Lysander, sure he liked her well enough but Alice had way more in common with Lysander than she did with him, it wasn’t until he was helping her with charms– one of the only subjects he was better than Lysander at that he found out spending time with Alice pissed his girlfriend off and Lorcan would be a big liar if he said he didn’t find some satisfaction in that, especially since she was willing to piss him off just as much. So he found himself willing to spend more time with Alice than he normally would have and he found that he actually did enjoy the girls company and he was at the point where he would consider her an actual friend and not just ‘Lysanders friend’ so at this point pissing his girlfriend off was just a major plus. When they stepped off the train Lorcan laughed slightly “Who would you tell?” he asked with a grin.

Alice smiled at that response, who was she gonna tell? Well, “I don’t know, Ly?” Alice said, lightly giggling as she followed the others’ steps “He needs me for his Apparition test this week.” she then added, shrugging as she looked up at the other for a moment. She liked this, being able to hang out with a somewhat new friend. She was thankful that Lorcan was even willing to tutor her in Charms, she thought he would rather spend his time doing something else. Especially when he had a girlfriend. The girl didn’t really know much about this girl, then again she didn’t really care. As long as her friend is happy, that’s all she could really ask for. Stuffing her hands into her coat, Alice licked her lips and let her eyes wander here and there. A lot of students always go to town when the weekend rolls around, just getting things done or hanging out with their friends.

Alice & Lorcan; Use Somebody

Stepping out of the train, Alice was with Lorcan. The two has been hanging out more lately, aside from just their charms tutorial lessons that is. The boy seemed to have grown a liking towards the girl, just as friends of course. That made the little blonde happy, she was able to make yet another friend. Alice was already pretty close with Lorcan’s twin brother, Lysander. She’s just glad that she’s able to hook Lorcan into being her friend as well. The more she hangs out with the twins separately, the more she sees their difference and hell - even from a far, she knew who was who. “Where are we off to?” the girl asked, as she looked up at the man and gave him a sweet smile “I’m a bit peckish, you better feed me or I’ll tell on you.” she then said, as she let out a small giggle at that. The two already established a friendly banter type of friendship. It’s fun, she enjoys being with Lorcan despite her stronger connection to Lysander. No one’s the better twin, she thinks they’re both great.

Alice & Phoebe; Some Nights

Phoebe didn’t have time for small talk; she had places to go and people to see. Yet, her eyes managed to widened, then regrettably sink at the mention of a fire. “I’d be more impressed if you did…” she trailed already calculating her next move. Though Phoebe could have used an arsonist in her revenge plot on Alfie’s murderer, having a Longbottom as an ally could potentially work in her favor. The family name did hold stock in the wizarding community after all. 

“Oh, you know, just peachy.” Phoebe pursed her lips willing to entertain this conversation for the sake of business. “The wizarding world has gone to shit and my brother’s dead. Really nothing could be better.”

“I don’t think I have the ability to even start a match.” Alice giggled, as she then listened to the other's response to how they were. She nodded at the first statement, before pursing her lips at the next. Well, that took a much darker turn “Ohh, I’m very sorry to hear that...” she started, sighing “If there is anything you need, I would be glad to help.” she then said, as she bit her lower lip nervously. She didn’t know if she should say it, but it’s a risk she's willing to take “I know we don’t know each other very well, but having a brother... I can only imagine what you’re going through, it’s a fear close to home.” she then added “I would appreciate any help I could get, so I hope you don’t take offense to my offer.” she nodded at the end. She would have reached out to at least touch the others hand and comfort her, but she knew they literally were strangers and that wouldn’t be much help. At least, personally Alice would be fine with the words of condolence alone.

[forbiddenwanderingalice]

Alice & Lysander; Once In A While

“Come along then.” He said, waving her out of his bedroom and into the bathroom. Lorcan would most certainly kill him for this. But hey, what his brother didn’t know wouldn’t hurt him. The bathtub was filled to the brim in foggy water and as they neared it, nothing really happened. It looked as if Lysander was showing Alice nothing but a tub full of dirty water. It wouldn’t have been the oddest thing. Maybe he had finally lost his mind. Lysander knew what most people thought of him. And most people thought he was off his rocket. Then suddenly, a small head popped up from under the water. “There she is! Hello love.” He cooed, holding his hand out for the creature. 

“This is Soren. She’s a Norwegian water dragon. They’re exceptionally rare.” He said as the small dragon started to climb up his arm. It appeared to be wingless, her large scales a silvery blue with a cobra like head. But Lysander handled her with ease. He was an absolute natural when it came to caring for creatures. But even the most experienced magizoologists knew how unpredictable dragons could be. Lysander didn’t appear to be afraid. If anything, he was in constant awe of such creatures. “She’s just a babe. But I’ll have her for a few days before we send her off. She’s going to live on the Swedish Dragon Reservation. Isn’t she a beauty?”

Alice smiled and followed Lysander into the bathroom, there greeted them a bathtub full of dirty water. The girl looked at it, it had a little bit of movement but visually nothing. The girl waited for a little, she believes Lysander when he’s rambling off about these creatures she never heard of. Not that he told her what creature he had with him right now was something she didn’t know about, he just kept quiet. It wasn’t long until the creature did pop out and the girls’ eyes widened in surprise, it looked so cute. Well, she looked so cute. The girl smiled widely as she moved into the man’s arm to gently let the dragon get a whiff of her scent “Hello there, baby...” she cooed, as she then giggled as the little creatures did seem interested in figuring out who she was.

“How’d you find or well, get her?” Alice asked, as she gently pets the little one, once she was a lot more acquainted with her and her scent. She and Lysander just love the same things, they always share their knowledge with each other - it’s like a free researcher “Wingless, is she supposed to be?” the girl immediately noticed, as she then moved in and let the dragon know she wasn’t afraid either. This is the first time she has seen a dragon, but it’s like the millionth with the way she wanted to pet and care for the being.
