FERVOUR

he smells like cigarettes and green tea with a hint of sweetness and safety. he tastes like chocolate and mint with a hint of bitterness and longing. he looks like a piece of art with a hint of imperfection and insecurity.

                             he was so beautiful. NEVILLE LONGBOTTOM. frank was really, truly a father now. and his son was absolutely gorgeous. neville’s soft breathing seemed to mingle with that of frank’s wife, a perfect harmony of peace bringing the hellscape of the outside world to a screeching halt. all that mattered right now was all that was in this room --- his wife and his baby. cradling the child gently in his arms, frank blinked back another onslaught of tears, blindingly aware that even just the slightest of drops could wake the boy in an instant. he couldn’t disrupt the peace. the comfort. it was all just so beautiful...                             still blinking back tears as he looked at his little boy, frank heard the shuffle of alice waking on the bed, one hand immediately moving to grab his wife’s.  ❛ hey, ❜ he whispered, looking up with a teary smile and squeezing her hand getly in his.  ❛ he’s sleeping. ❜  //  @ofalvces

[frvnklbottom]

my wife is pregnant, my wife is pregnant, my wife is pregnant. a phrase that frank had repeated perhaps a thousand times in the last eight months. a phrase fuelled by excitement, anxiety, fear, protection. a phrase that at first had been followed by a smile, but more recently had been met with brows furrowed in worry. this was not a time one wanted to bring a child into the world. this was a time where innocent people were dying, where even frank himself ( a respected and even feared auror of his age ) felt his heart skip a beat at any unfamiliar creak in his home. this was a time of WAR — and the longbottom’s were mere weeks away from welcoming a sweet baby boy into their lives. it was a hard thought for frank to stomach, fear churning butterflies in his belly as he waited outside alice’s consultation room. frank had always wanted a child, had dreamed of the day when he could hold the small hand of his own baby in his palm, but it was after times like this morning — the first time he had been to visit benjy’s grave — that he wondered whether he could even do this. whether he could take care of his wife and his child and the rest of the order and the auror department who counted on him every single minute of every single day. it was overwhelming, to say the least. it was TERRIFYING. sitting forward in the hard plastic chair, feet planted firmly on the cold tiled floor, frank’s knee bounced up and down in a nervous jitter before his wife finally emerged. jumping up from his seat immediately, he rushed towards her, slipping one arm around her waist and the other hand gripping to hers. ❛ hey, ❜ he cooed, voice soft and gentle despite his still racing mind. ❛ how was that? the healer’s say everything is still good? ❜

    “and a pale ale,” she says to the bartender, elbows leaning on the bar, a lazy smile curling her lips. mary taps her finger on the wood, lets her gaze travel through the pub, considers taking out her phone while she waits when her eyes fall on frank ( @frvnklbottom ). “longbottom? HEY!” she steps back a little so she can look at him better. “you here for the quiz, too?,” she asks, raising her eyebrows, before leaning in and adding in a low tone, “just so you know: you’re going down. i have the best team in the fucking world, and we’re planning on taking home the grand prize.” she pulls back, grins widely and winks. “how’re ya?”

       frank grinned at the bartender as his frothy beer was slid across the counter, a nod and a raise of his glass and indicator for the worker to simply put it on his tab. taking a sip from the drink, he turned ready to make his way back towards his table before he heard his name being called out from further down the bar. turning his attention to his friend, he grinned at her, wrapping his free arm around her shoulders in a quick hug.   ❛  marzipan!! i didn’t know you’d be here!  ❜   leaning an elbow on the bench, he mimicked her raised brow and allowed her to finish her gloat before scoffing playfully.   ❛  oh please --- you know i’m not gunna leave until i win.  ❜   grinning again, he nodded.   ❛  i’m brilliant! al’s got a couple of her girlfriends over for some last hurrah before the baby comes, as i believe, so i thought i’d duck down here for a bit. and how are you?  ❜

       - ̗̀ ft. dorcas

dorcas had pulled up a chair a couple of minutes earlier, sitting right behind frank ( @frvnklbottom ), close enough to look like a member of his team, who simply didn’t have enough room to put a chair in. however, someone had to bust her cover, the guy right across the table asking her what the hell she was doing, and along with his question came many turning heads. “ hey lads. i’m spying on you. “ more like her team was angry at her, and she didn’t really care enough about the game to stay at the same table all evening. “ catching the vibes of the team. the dynamics. also, THANKS a lot for not offering any chips. fucking gentlemen, am i right? “ she was already reaching for the little plastic basket when she spoke. 

      the sound of a chair scraping against the sticky floor had frank throwing his head back to see what was going on only for his eyes to land on none other than dorcas meadowes, very clearly pulling herself forward to sit behind his team.   ❛  oi ---  ❜   before he could complain, she was throwing excuses around --- or, not really excuses so much as they were explanations, since they were awfully honest for what they actually were. still, frank found himself drawing a line when she reached for their food, snatching the basket away from her prying hands and quickly covering their notes as the mc continued to shout jokes at them.   ❛  oi, get back to yer own team, meadowes, no one likes a CHEATER.  ❜
