🔮 — magic

Alice has worked hard to get good at the magic she’s good at. She uses her magic these days to help the Order, but when she was at school, she worked incredibly hard to get the grades that she got (nearly all O’s, thank g-d). It took her a lot longer than she cares to admit to cast the Patronus charm, though. She’s a strong, capable witch. (I mean, she’s gotta be - to be one of the people that thrice defied the Dark Lord.)

☕  - Do you prefer coffee or tea? Perhaps neither, or both?

Coffee. With lots of sugar. But caaaaaaaafé, for sure.

⚔ - NOTP with your muse?

Anyone that isn’t Frank with Alice, honestly. I mainly ship on chemistry but I just love the Longbottom’s far too much to ever see them apart in that sense. 

♫ - Do you listen to music when you write? If yes, what kind of music, if no, why not?

Sometimes! I have a playlist for the FWW that I made for a different roleplay, and a playlist for a different incarnation of Alice (with Brie Larson, actually!) and sometimes I listen to those. Other times, it’s a playlist of almost all the songs ever played on Grey’s Anatomy. (Yes, I am that one. Shoot me.) Other times, I watch Criminal Minds or The West Wing. I don’t know what it is about those shows that gets me in the mood to write, but they do.

“Honey, I’m home!” Frank was walking in through the door of their home, mail in hand. It was stupid thing to announce, but it felt so good that he kept doing it anyway. Hard to believe that he was married to the woman of his dreams, and even harder to believe that she was real and here with him. “So I see the Delacours have sent us postcards. Do they ever stay at home? Here’s a letter for you from Apolline, and will you look at that, more postcards!” He thumbed through the papers and pictures as he talked, and one of the pictures made Frank feel something; it was Apolline and her husband, a baby bump present in frame as the couple stood smiling and laughing. Family. Something he wanted for himself, but in these times? Frank couldn’t risk it, and since Alice never said anything about children, he didn’t bring the topic up himself. “Okay, so here’s what I was thinking; we could go over to my mother’s place for dinner tonight.”

Alice heard Frank’s words and smiled at the banality of them, even in the face of war - they were finding reasons to be happy, grounded in safety and love and warmth. She flicked her wrist and watched the pots and pans right themselves, the apron she had just taken off folding itself haphazardly into the nearest drawer and shifted to slide her wand back up her sleeve. She laughed at Frank’s rhetorical question, shaking her head although he couldn’t see her. “They’re always off on an adventure - you know Apolline, she can’t sit still. It does help that she has the money for it.” She called as the temperamental tap switched off and she dried her hands, almost launching herself upon Frank and the stack of letters and postcards he held in his hands when he first stepped foot in the kitchen. “Gimme, gimme, gimme,” She practically begged with a grin, almost snatching them from his hands before she pressed a rushed kiss to his cheek. Her lips fell open as she gazed down at the picture of Apolline with her husband, baby bump on full show as Apolline waved at her, half cooing as she grins. “God, she’s getting so big! I bet she can’t wait until they’re born and stop kicking her in the ribs,” Alice laughed as she flicked over the photo to read the caption on the back. “Oh, it’s a girl! A mini Apolline, imagine.” Her head tilted back as she giggled, nodding as she glanced over the letter, her voice soft as she padded away from Frank’s grip and put the postcard up on the fridge. “Oh, you’ve been thinking, hmm?” Her grin was teasing as she crooked a finger at him, motioning in a ‘come hither’ gesture. “What’ll we be having for dinner at your mother’s place?”

ALICE LONGBOTTOM (NEE FORTESCUE) is played by LINDSEY MORGAN. TWENTY SEVEN. SHE/HER. CIS FEMALE. FORMER HUFFLEPUFF. ORDER OF THE PHOENIX. ( ellie. she/her. 19. gmt )

Hufflepuff, graduated 9 yrs ago, and was Head Girl and Captain of the Hufflepuff Quidditch Team as well as the only Hufflepuff in the Slug Club in her graduating year. (Don’t ever mention crystallised pineapples in front of her. It’s the only sweet treat she doesn’t like.)

Married to the light of her life, love of all her days, all time high score love of her life: Frank Longbottom. He’s her best friend, high key the love of her life and she’d do anything for him. They’re very seriously thinking about starting a family.

She was accepted to the Auror academy in her sixth year when applications opened. She was actual bouncing off the walls levels of excited about it, and then her mama died and the memory is sort of tinged with a lot of grief and anger.

She’s a founding member of the Order of the Phoenix - some of the first early meetings (Dumbles/Fortescue (Flo)/Diggle/Bones (Ed)/Figg/Moody/McGonagall/Vance (a secret)/Fortescue/Longbottom) took place in hers and Frank’s kitchen and since then, the Order’s only grown.

Has five younger siblings, a few that she helped raise, so, she’s just a bit of a mom friend(tm)? 

Became an Auror because she’s always wanted to be one - she’s never been one to sacrifice her own dreams for someone else’s comfort, and her decision to leave the family business of ice cream making stirred quite a few disagreements.

'Selfless to a nauseating degree’ describes her to a tee.

Alice is a polyglot - she grows up speaking English, Gaelic (owing to her French-Scottish father), French (owing to her French-Scottish father), Spanish (owing to her Mexican mama) and Welsh. She was the type of kid to know everyone and everything.

Her family gets a lot of stick for not really fitting in with the rest of the purebloods - the entire family doesn’t share the same affinity for purist ideals.

She worked hard to push herself to get all O’s in her NEWTs.

She took Magical Jurisprudence, Concealment and Disguise, Potions and Antidotes, Stealth and Tracking and Decipherment A and B, when she started at the Auror Academy. 

She sucks at domestic magic, and often relies on Frank or Augusta to get things done in that regard. Some days, she simply prefers scrubbing the dirty pans clean and doing her laundry herself. 

She struggles a lot with the balance between being soft and being ruthless - it’s a trait that almost makes her feel like she was sorted into the wrong house, but she’s grown used to having these almost opposing inclinations. She’s not a bad person. She knows that - has had years, and years, to discover these things about herself - but she knows that when she’s interrogating suspects, that she gets a rush. 

Catch her after a rough day kickin’ back on the couch with a glass of red wine and her hand somewhere in Frank’s hair.

“Neville’s mother had come edging down the ward in her nightdress. She no longer had the plump, happy-looking face Harry had seen in Moody’s old photograph of the original Order of the Phoenix. Her face was thin and worn now, her eyes seemed overlarge, and her hair, which had turned white, was wispy and dead-looking.”
