Since the news of the man hunt, and the chaos within the auror and hit wix offices, Alice had been conflicted and confused. She’d never felt like this in relation to chasing down after anyone that they thought were death eaters. And it was different this time. They knew Isaac was a death eater, and that made it probably even worse. Isaac had been her friend. He’d been her husband’s friend. They’d welcomed him into their home. It had been Isaac’s dad that Alice had sought advice from when she had wanted to become an auror. Now knowing that Isaac was a death eater left Alice feeling torn, and confused.
She knew what she had to do though. She couldn’t let her feelings get in the way. She had a job to do, both from an auror point of view, and with the auror. They had to find Isaac, before the death eaters did. She hadn’t been out in the field for Frank in a while, ever since the incident that had resulted in Harry’s death. They’d not gone out together, nor at the same time, to protect their little boy. But this time it was different. This time they were searching for someone they both considered a friend. Alice and Frank had talked about it at length, before coming to the conclusion that for this time only they would go out as a pair. Neville was safe with his grandmother, and she knew she didn’t need to worry about him. She could focus on finding Isaac, and if anyone questioned them searching, they were just two aurors on the job.
She had to admit it felt right to be out in the field with her husband again. Alice would readily admit that Frank brought out of the best in her, and that she felt they were the perfect pairing. “I missed this....” She murmured quietly, glancing up at him as they had stepped out of Augusta’s home. “Us.... in the field together.....” Nothing felt as right as when she was with him.
