Tea Time

Alice coming over was one of the most exciting things to happen since Andromeda had left her job. Each day it was becoming more clear to her that being a stay at home Mother was not sustainable. Dora wasn’t bad, in fact she was brilliant but spending every waking moment together did make it a little harder to see all the brilliance somedays. Seeing Alice and talking to an adult mid way through the day was an amazing reprieve. 

Andromeda even managed to put on real clothes for the occasion not just her husband’s gym shorts and an old tee shirt. Though the only thing that really fit was the dress she squeezed her growing belly into. 

Andromeda started the kettle just as the door swung open. “Aunt Alice.” Dora’s little voice came swinging around the corner as she lunched herself into the other woman’s arms.

Another Light | 1973 | Vice

Vi was itching to see her best friend, it felt like the past week she had only seen Nick, her mother, and her beautiful baby boy. Not that she was complaining, she could stare at Matt all day. He was only a few months old, and already growing too quickly, she loved him so much. That being said, she was going slightly stir crazy. She had tried to go back to work, but her Father had shown up and sent her right back home, apparently when her Mother had heard, Orchid had essentially thrown a fit. Nick was on her mothers side, telling her she had to rest, and just take it easy for a few months. But she’d had enough rest. So she had invited Alice over. 

What was even better, is that she would be able to have a proper catch up, because Nick had taken Matt for the day to his parents, and Vi hadn’t even had to ask. As soon as she had mentioned Al was coming over, he’d happily offered to take their son for the day. So the house was quiet, which was a relief. She had been folding some washing, actually getting things done when not having to look after a baby, when she heard the door “Coming!” she called, quickly making her way to the front door and opening it with a huge grin “Hello stranger” she grinned.

New Jewellery | 1971 | Vice

Vi had been itching to see Alice, the pair caught up as often as they could, but recently between the both of them, work had taken over for a while. Though they owled, and it had really only been about a week, it had felt like a lifetime to Vi. And because of the events that had happened the night before, Vi was adamant that she and her best friend had to catch up.

So she had sent an owl that morning, confirming that Alice was going to be at the bar, a little out of character but she couldn’t help it. She was too bloody excited. Vi got to the bar a few minutes early, and got a table for the two of them, ordering a firewhiskey while she waited for her best friend to turn up.

Last First Day | 1968 | Vice

It all felt very surreal, 7th year always seemed like it was so far away, yet it had crept up on her. Violet had said goodbye to her parents, and her little brothers at the platform, the only good thing about saying goodbye, was knowing it would be one of the last times she would have to feel so horrid about leaving them. It always hurt to say goodbye, but she just had to remind herself of the family that she had at Hogwarts, and that she would see them soon over the holidays. Plus they all owled her throughout the term.

Once she was finally on the train, the excitement started to build up in her stomach, she was on her way to her final year, this was it. And what a year it was going to be, sure exams, but there were also going to parties. Vi’s trunk already had a few hidden bottles of firewhiskey. She made her way along the corridor until finally she found who she was looking for “Last first day. It just brings a tear to the eye doesn’t it?” she grinned at one of her best friends “Hiya Al” she added with a laugh, stepping into the compartment.

Gossiping Girlies | 1968 | Violet + Alice

Violet opened the door to her dorm room and closed it with a huff, nodding Hello towards her dorm mate, and best friend Alice before sitting down on her bed and putting down her book bag probably a little too agressively. Her final class of the day had been potions, which she had with Nick. They had gotten back an essay, and he had gotten a better mark than her by one point. One bloody point, and he hadn’t shut up about it the entire walk back up to the common room. That boy did her bloody head in. “Why the bloody hell did I choose to do potions, Alice? Please enlighten me” she groaned
