Rabastan had been dealing with the reality of being flung decades into the future the way he dealt with most difficult issues: by ignoring it and burying his head in a book. Itâd been working. More or less. Mostly less. Rab staunchly refused to get all the details but apparently, in the future, being a Lestrange no longer held the air of privilege and respectability it did in his time. Deep down, Rab knew he should find out what happened, so he could prevent it, but he didnât want to know. He couldnât stomach it. What if itâd been his fault? Instead, Rab had taken to ignoring anyone who wasnât from his own time.
âThatâs all very interesting,â he said, intonation flat. âBut, you see, I donât care.â
â Huh?â Alice looked up from the paper she had been reading- maybe she was reading out loud and she did not realise, but being here and not exactly knowing what to do:worried her. So much it was insane. But, she did try to remain with an open mind and at his words, she narrows an eyebrow. â Sorry, sorry- guess, my nervous thick is back and I had talked all this time without realising, my sincere apologies.â
âAlice, honestly, Iâm fine. I already have one mother worrying about me, I donât need another. Itâs just a little scratch.â They both knew she could have gotten a lot worse in her previous mission, that her old âfriendsâ seemed to go at her with a vengeance whenever they saw her. However, Mary was not one to ask for help; she also didnât want anyone to know how fucking terrified she was. She had honestly thought this was it, that she was gone. âIâm going to be fine. See?â
Alice was quiet for a second- she knew she might be a little annoying to Mary for always making sure sheâs alright, but it was just an instinct for her- she wanted to make sure the other doesnât have any kind of problems.  â I know, I know, but I had to check up on you. What, if this happened to me wouldnât you do the same? Or you mean to tell me you wonât come see me when Nevilleâs born?â she protectively places her hand over her belly as she looks around and then back at her friend. â i just brought you some home made food, try to eat some, please?â
Emma nearly jumped in surprise as she felt a pair of hands come over her eyes; even after all those months, it was strange knowing they were not actively at war, that she didnât need to fear death at every corner, that she had somehow managed to survive. She sputtered. âHello?â
â Sorry-â Alice quickly said, regretting that she had done that in the first place, she slowly retracted herself and offered Emma an apolegetic smile. â Thought youâd like to see a familiar face, but then I did a dumb âhelloâ move.â
âI have no idea why people keep asking me if I am actually Mary Cattermole. Do we even look alike? I mean, honestly, can you imagine me married to Reginald of all people? Like he could handle me.â She stared at the broomstick shop, still amazed by how far technology had come. Her hands itched to get back to work, but she was on her mandatory day off.Â
Alice couldnât help herself but chuckle at the otherâs words,shrugging as she let her eyes roam around. â I donât know, in all honesty- you should ask them if yâall look alike and youâll see if itâs the same Mary theyâre talking about. Are there maybe, any Cattermole children that could help you out with that?â
WHERE: Small restaurant in Diagon Alley.
WHEN: August 21st, 2019.Â
WHO: Alice Longbottom.
âYou know, the future has a lot going against it, but this bubble tea thing? Kind of makes up for some of it,â Andromeda stated with a small smile after taking a sip of her bubble tea. She had sat down in front of the other woman as there hadnât been much other places in the little restaurant, and since she at least knew who Alice was, she assumed it wouldnât be as awkward as to sit with someone from another generation. Also, she wanted to check in on the other. Andromeda wasnât particularly maternal with anyone other than her child, per se, but that didnât mean she completely didnât care about others. Especially fellow mothers.
âHow are you adjusting to it all, anyway? Iâm trying my best, really, but⌠Itâs a lot, isnât it?â
Alice looked up at the other and she couldnât help but let a small smile come up on her lips at her words- she seemed to be enjoying the tea more than Alice was and it was probably just because she was too caught into her thoughts to let the surroundings calm her a bit. â That is true, any kind of new tea is what makes life worth it.â she took a sip out of her own tea and appreciated the otherâs concern more than anything in this moment.  â It is..itâs hard to adjust when youâre not sure what happened and what to feel. I feel like a part of my soul isnât here, in all honesty.â
She bit the inside of her cheek, but then slowly relaxed. â How are you adjusting? Is it..I donât know, easier that it was a few days ago?â
       but, she always forgot to use it for herself.Â
       ( &.* alice longbottomâs intro down below!
SABINA KARLSSON? No, thatâs actually ALICE LONGBOTTOM ( NEE FORTESCUE) from the MARAUDERS ERA. You know, the child of ANNELISE FORTESCUE and FRANCIS FORTESCUE? Only 23 years old, this RAVENCLAW alumni works as a AUROR and is sided with THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX. Â SHE identifies as a CIS WOMAN and is a PUREBLOOD who is known to be OVEREMOTIONAL, OVER-THINKER, and SCATTERBRAINED but also KIND, EASYGOING, and LOYAL. â &&. ( MIRIAM, GMT, SHE/HER, 18+. )
( EMOTIONAL ABUSE TW) born to a pureblood family who had wanted a boy so bad to be able to show him off and show the pride of the family with a heir, aliceâs life hadnât been easy from the start because she wasnât wanted. but, with time as she grew up to be a girl with a level head and big ambitions, it looked like it would get easier. it didnât. annelise  was someone who had been married because she had to keep the family line pure, but francis fortescue had chosen her. he was a male, so he had more power- were her motherâs words all the time. and instead of being more compassionate with alice; she wanted to hurt her more. she wanted to blame her for not being someone she is not. (end of tw) so, basically- she was a pureblood who didnât care about the pureblood etiquettes.
with time, alice had started to get used to that life. she had become stronger and way more than her parents told her and once out of hogwarts, left home and never looked back. she still remembers the look on their faces when she had expressed her want of going to become an auror. the way they had wanted to do anything in their power to stop her-Â Â and it still hurts sometime to think about it. but, thatâs in the past now.
becoming an auror had been the best decision sheâs ever made. it was meant for her- the thrill, the adventure, the way it made you think so much and the way you had to take responsability for some actions you wouldnât normally need to. even though sheâs emotional, it feels like she hides all these emotions well when inÂ
( PREGNANCY TW) once pregnant with neville, alice had tried not to work as much and get as stressed just for her babyâs sake, but sometimes she had failed to do so and got too over worked. however, it felt wonderful to feel like a mother- to be able to feel emotions you didnât even think of feeling before; she had truly promised herself she will be a better parent than hers ever were. thus, when the leap happened- she had felt confused- she had just given birth to a healthy baby boy named neville two days before t happened! however, with how much time it has passed since then- she tries not be as scared and think that he is okay. ( end of tw)
small headcanons
birthday: november 16th- sheâs a scorpio and trust me, she cares A LOT about that. astrology had always been a big part of her.
patronus: vole. why ?â the vole patronus is normally conjured by witches and wizards who deeply enjoy time to themselves.it isnât uncommon to find them spending quite time outdoors. this being said they are still very kind and easy to get along with. these individuals prefer peace over conflict, but they are fully capable of defending themselves when need be.this patronus is typically formed by those who are constantly keeping themselves busy.whether it is a job or small activities and hobbies, they are constantly doing something. these witches and wizards enjoy the small things in life and prefer to be in a home like environment to be the most comfortable.â
and thatâs alice- she loves time to herself but she barely finds time for it. although, when she needs a recharge-nothing but her mind and a good old nap is better.
her boggart is a heart breaking. she is afraid to break anyoneâs heart aka hurt them in any way.
she can speak: french besides english because she just wanted to learn so she did it?
okay so she is a vegetarian bUT canât go vegan because she loves ice cream ; like original ice cream; too much.
in hogwarts, she was one of the best at herbology- it always fascinated her; the world around her and the gentleness of the flowers. sheâs always wanted to try quidditch, so in summer time sheâd join some friends and play within each other. somehow, it happened- that she was part of the ravenclaw quidditch team in her sixth and seventh year - sixth year as a chaser, seventh year as a seeker.
she is not a sweets person, besides ice cream.

sasha sloan: version of me song that describes her the best
pinterest
All flaws and shaky smiles, lip bites and nervous rambling, but steady thoughts and kindness all the way through. Sheâs paintings that are mixed with every color, but it still isnât vibrant enough. Seâs private deep thoughts that you wish you had the privilege of knowing, each one unlocking a new secret. She is comfort. Shy gestures and undecided thoughts define her.Alice is love shouted out without any words being spilled, she is soft melodies that carry a sorrow heart, her own being too tired to function from the amount of affection she gives.
conclusion
she JUST WANTS TO HELP AND LOVE THE WORLD!
soft hearted ravenclaw alumna momma ur way
she just wants to,,, love?? and.,,,,, be happy? and ,,,, protect everyone?
she never thinks of herself, like rarely!
over all, sheâs easy to approach. but if itâs someone she dislikes she can be...a lot.
Endlessly loving and thoughtful, Alice was always the smiling girl who was known to be supportive of her peers, ready to listen to their problems and give them advice, or lend them a shoulder to cry on.
