“No, I was not participating in a walk of shame. Mind your own business.”

“I wasn’t judging.“

❝ Still as Longbottom-esque as ever, then, Frankie ? How is Augusta, anyway ? I didn’t get to see her this summer, was looking forward to chatting with her. She still hasn’t given me that recipe for her world renowned apple pie. All for the greater good. I like that, sounds very poetic. ❞ Alice giggles lightly, nose wrinkling as she shifts and nods: hair bouncing up and down on her shoulders. ❝ Don’t I know it, spent half of my time at the pre-trainee programme Auror Moody was hosting. ❞ Her shoulder nudges Frank’s before she laces her arm through his and walks at his side, brown eyes warm and heart beating maybe a little too fast for ‘ just friends. ’ She was never an open book with people; that was one of her shortcomings, one difference between then she wished didn’t exist. ( She doesn’t really register the question until there’s a small seed of sadness blooming in her chest: the question is ignored until she’s sure they’re alone. ) ❝ Oh, summer was fine. Absolutely spiffing. Did I just say spiffing ? That’s… Old. Divvied my time between starting my application to Auror training, the ice cream parlour and adventuring, of course. ❞ Her arm is still laced through his when she notices they’re in a nearly empty corridor.

“ EH, it’s all tomatoes tomatoes, really. She’s good, sends her love and she’s packed food for you. All the things you like. ” Eyebrows waggled in her direction. Frank loved how Alice and Augusta seemed to get along so well; anyone who got on his mother’s good side, was a friend of his. In Alice’s case...it was different. It would always be different with Alice. Walking hand in hand, it was like habit; like wearing shoes, or just knowing that you were destined to be friends. Just friends. “ Moody’s amazing like that. I went to one last year and it really opened my eyes. And ya know, goin’ through Dad’s stuff was also great. ” The Longbottom boy laughed at her description, more of a bark of laughter followed by silence, with his mouth still open in amusement. “ Spiffing. I’ve been working on mine too. Just waiting to hear from Professors Dumbledore and McGonagall about my letters before sending it off. I did stop by, once I guess. On my way to Gringott’s. ” He looks at her face once more, his heart beating and his ears red. “ I missed you this summer. Wasn’t so much with you tinkering about my place like you own it. ”

ALICE’S EYES inflate slightly, her tone of voice distant & quietly sad as she murmurs to herself absent-mindedly. Her smile is just as wide as usual: round face abuzz with the light it brought, sadness soon evaporating as she takes in another person’s presence and pushes her shoulders back, clearing her mind. She clears her throat and FORGETS about the memories of summer for a while, grinning as she boops the other’s nose lightly, trying to fight down the urge to shutter herself away. ❝ How’s your summer been ? Eventful, I hope, and not without adventures. ❞

“YOU KNOW how they always are, Alice. A whole lot of work, and maybe some time to play. But it’s all for the greater good. Perfect applications don’t really write themselves, ya know.” Frank smiles at her, her vibrance bringing that little sparkle in his eyes too. SHE just seems to know what gets him talking and what doesn’t, which wasn’t all that hard for Alice to figure out. Frank’s an open book, like he always has been, and it doesn’t help that his feet are tapping the stone floor to a rhythm unknown; a tell-tale sign of pure nervousness. “HOW was your summer? Any trips or such?”

“I think I am getting boring in my old age, Frank” she said, grinning across at him. “Oh gosh, it never stops. I mean, Isaac has moved out now since he got the job with the Ministry, but Edgar is a constant noise and he is always driving mum mad so she ends up shouting for half of the day and then we have the neighbour kids who practically live in our house during the summer…” she said, shaking her head at the thought. Her summers were never quiet or uneventful. “Auror application? Frank, that’s wonderful, so you’re definitely going for it then?” she asked, smiling brightly. “Hectic, noisy, the same old same old but since my OWLs came through, my parents have been pushing me towards a Ministry career…”

“Everyone needs a stable aunty, so I think you’ve already found your niche. No need to wait for old age for that kinda stuff, Am.” Frank joked, nudging her shoulder lightly. “I mean, why not? Mum doesn’t seem to mind, they liked my OWL grades and I’m honouring my dad’s memories. Do you want to go for it? A Ministry career is lucrative. Maybe not when you begin, but it’s a long term investment, I’ll say.”

James rolled his eyes as Frank asked him if he wanted any for himself. He gave a playful look that said ‘quit stalling !’ ( complete with a hand gesture ), and when the Hufflepuff opened his mouth to bring the fork closer to his tongue, he held his breath and waited for the verdict. It wasn’t a glowing review, but it wasn’t entirely negative so Prongs decided to take it as a win. “I wouldn’t steer you wrong, mate !” He took the jar back and capped it, then looked at the other wizard with a pleased expression. “What did you get up to over holiday, Longbottom ? Tell me a sexy story about one of your many conquests. I’m all ears ~”

Frank swallowed the mouthful he was chewing on, trying to explain what he was exactly tasting. It was also a way to put off James’ question for a while. He didn’t want to appear like a loser, even though in his opinion, his summer plans were well fulfilled. “Yeah, there are no sexy stories to tell. Still single, but I’m not complaining. Relationships are tough, dude.”

“I’ve played gobstones before, idiot. I’d rather sit in muggle studies for three days straight, but that’s for the tempting offer.”

“I have nothing to tempt you with except for very nice socks. They’re wool and warm. And I just want more people to join and love Gobstones, you know?”

“Maybe they would if you would think three steps ahead.”

“I’d rather be the guy everyone counts on, instead.”

“Give it here. I’ll do it.” Theo commanded, holding out a hand for the bird.

“I can’t look, I’m afraid.”

“Go ahead and look.” Rabastan suggested coolly. Clearly without a care in the world. Points were of little concern to him. Detentions, too, as long as he kept himself just under the radar of his parents. “And, why should I have? She was capable of saving herself. She has to be at least in third year.”

“Whoa - okay, anyone want to tell me what the hippogriff is going on here?”

“You don’t want to know, trust me.”

“ UGH, THAT is utterly disgusting. Get a less horrid hobby, love. ”

“This is my Gobstones shirt. I wear to remind myself never to lose again.”

“—No, it isn’t what it looks like. In fact, I’m offended you’d begin to assume me the culprit of such a mess, I’m wholly innocent, as always.”

“Sure, I’ll totally believe it. While I’m at it, should I also mention that detention this year is in the Black Forest?”

protegopandora:

“See, I knew there was a reason we were friends.” She grinned at him, “How good are you with hippogriffs?”

“Earned one’s trust in my third year, and then proceeded to never go back. Why do you ask?”

emmeline-thedancer:

“Ah yes because wasting precious time on a meaningless task is so intelligent, Frank.”

“No one really calls me smart, Em.”

“It’s writhing in agony, foaming at the mouth, stumbling around blindly… key symptoms of many poisons. Let the creature go, put it out of it’s misery.”

“I can’t. I just can’t...kill the bird without...” Theo did have a point though.

She smirked and helped move her books so that Frank could sit beside her. “I could use that charm to keep library books for myself, though that would be a fairly boring way to use that charm” she mused, shaking her messy hair around her shoulders. “When you live with my family, reading books is almost impossible, peace and quiet is not something to be found in the Bones’ household” she smiled, fondly. “How are you Frank? Did you enjoy your summer?”

“It does. I guess you could use it for other things. Creautive things.” He chuckled, leaning back on the bench as he relaxed. “Oh yeah, if Ed’s anything to go by, I’m thinking your family might just be the next chaotic thing. I’ve been alright, yeah. Been doing some stuff for my Auror application. I think it looks good, but you never know, right? how was your summer Bones?”
