Frank is the only son and the oldest child of Neville and Hannah Longbottom (neé Abbott), and was named after his paternal grandfather, Frank Longbottom I. He has a younger sister named Alice, who is currently in her sixth year and was named after their paternal grandmother. His father, Neville, works at Hogwarts as the Herbology professor, and his mother, Hannah owns and lives in the Leaky Cauldron.
In September of 2016, he began attending Hogwarts and is now in his 7th year.
While Frank does share few traits with his father, he is almost the exact opposite of what Neville was like when in his days at Hogwarts. Where Neville was clumsy, forgetful, shy, and timid; Frank is is coordinated, recalling, unreserved, and fearless. Many may have doubted whether or not Neville belonged in Gryffindor, but nobody doubted the fact that Frank would be sorted into Gryffindor. It was clear from the very beginning exactly which house he embodied. With his courage and bravery, Frank not only reflects the virtues of Gryffindor house, his personality is the exact reflection of Neville’s during the Second Wizarding war. Unlike his father, Frank has never had any issues regarding his self-esteem. The boy has always strutted with an air of confidence in both himself and his magical abilities. He is intelligent on multiple levels. Not only is he book smart, but street smart as well. It is known that Frank is one of those people who can come out on top of things even if he doesn't try. His success has been in not just grades, but looks and character. The boy is evidently one of the attractive ones at Hogwarts, while his kindness is just a contributing factor in addition to his looks. Its hard to dislike Frank with his good natured smile and accepting personality. Being a half-blood himself, Frank doesn’t condone the way the Slytherins treat the other half-bloods and muggleborn students. His prejudice is as non-existent just as Malfoy's is existent. Prejudiced is not a term that comes up when one thinks of Frank Longbottom II. Like a true Gryffindor, he is brave until the very end; he seeks adventure. Honest and easy going, but confident and boisterous; its almost as if his ego is bipolar. One moment its there, the next its gone; replaced by the affectionate young man known as Frank, who cares about others and humanity more than he cares for himself. He is opinionated, especially regarding the blood purity debate. Although he tries to avoid conflicts, arguments, and debates, but when it comes to the blood purity topic, Frank does not hold back at all. His constant challenging of the Slytherins generally roots from the fact that he is part of a cause that fights again blood prejudice: a cause he believes in a great deal and being who he is, Frank will fight for what he believes in.
Charismatic and daring, Frank is an extremely charming young man who has much to say and makes a rather instant and lasting impression that is evidently influential upon his peers, especially the females. With his charming personality and good looks, as well as experience in the art of seduction, its no wonder that women are attracted to him like moths to a flame. They have seated him on a pedestal of adoration and he adores them in return; he plays well in the game of flirtation - almost too well, according to those who know him. Its no secret that Frank is a man of the women and has had many in the past, most of which he hardly remembers, however, those who know him find this to be a humorous feat. as Frank is rather harmless and generally means none of it. His popularity with the female population of the school is both a distraction and a boost of confidence, especially with an uncertain, potential war on the horizon. Though his popularity and numerous escapades may suggest that he is more physically active, this is in fact, incorrect. Frank is quite a few shades more soft-hearted than the likes of those who do engage in such physical acts and is more on the emotional and romantic side of such relationships. The boy is in love with love itself and the idea of it. He is a lover in all areas; a lover of ambition, achievement, the arts and romance itself. Frank cherishes flowers, writes poetry, pities the less fortunate, loves people, plays the piano, and has a fantasy for a vision of the future. Above all, he is a kind soul with a good heart. Immature and a foolish teenage boy at times, but kind. One to take in the beauty around him, of both people and the world; he enjoys strolling through the gardens with whomever may be on his arm that week and often is more interested in the passage of stars and clouds than events. There are two sides to him and his mind: the mature lover of love and the immature young man enjoying his youth. He talks gently with his head held high, isn't the least bit self-concious or shy.
Devoted is one of the many words that can be used to describe him. He is devoted member of Tobias Barrowman's revolutionary group and a friend of the man himself, despite being a few years younger than him. He is devoted to whichever lady he is with. His devotion in that sense, however, has been called overbearing and if often the reason why many women leave him in addition to him leaving them. The boy has the tendency to shower them with poetry written by him, from the colour of their hair to each freckle on their face, and sends dozens of flowers at a day's time. Granted, there have been times where he has written poems about other physical areas of a lady where he believed the act to be okay and his significant other didn't. Above all he is hopelessly devoted to Molly Weasley. Its almost as if he lives in the nineteenth century with his idealistic beliefs about love. He is viewed to be as the epitome of innocence with a hint of crudity. A respectable, but often too persistent young man. He is enthusiastic and extremely willing to prove himself to Molly, through spontaneous - and often annoying - little students as sending her countless parchments of poetry he wrote about her, and more often than not, giant bouquets of flowers. He has little concern regarding what this might mean for both of their reputations. Franks affection regarding her, mixed with his ambition for most things, has made him absolutely blind when it comes to Molly and relentlessly pursues her.
Neville, Hannah, Alice II, Frank I, Alice I, and Augusta:
While most students may have been embarrassed if their parent worked at their school, Frank belongs to the minority of those who either aren't bothered by this, or simply don't care. The former being him. Having had a close relationship with both of his parents in his childhood, he has always been fond of them on a deeper level and doesn’t mind the fact that his father works at his school, its simply a bigger advantage for him than it is a disadvantage should he ever need any herbology related help, or just simple support, he can go to his father. He sees Hannah less often than he gets to see Neville, mostly due to her job, but majority of the other students at Hogwarts get to see neither of their parents except for during breaks, therefore he isn’t too upset about that.
Frank is known for being extremely protective of his younger sister Alice, to the point where it may even annoy her a little, but the two do love each other dearly. He worries about her more than anybody else and finds himself getting scared for her. For example, if she’s with a boy he goes up to her and asks her everything about him to make sure she’s doing alright. His biggest priority to make sure his younger sister is safe and always looks out for her. He can also be snarky around the Slytherins and is one of his pet peeves when they not only bully him or his friends, but mostly his little sister.
Frank visits his grandparents at St.Mungo’s every chance he gets. Due to their condition, he isn't very close to them, however, he still has the gum wrapper his grandmother gave him when he was younger, on a trip to St. Mungo’s, and has cherished it since.
He’s is also fairly close to his greatgrandmother, Augusta, but could do without her knitted sweaters.
Jasper Hill, Tobias Barrowman & Others:
Frank's best friend at Hogwarts is Jasper Hill who is also a part of the organization, SBD (Stop Blood Discrimination). The organization, run by the alumni Tobias Barrowman and consisting of both Tobias and Frank's friends who are also alumni, was what introduced Frank to the other men. It was in the summer before his sixth year and he had stumbled upon a protest that was taking place in Diagon Alley. Ever since then he has been a devoted member of the cause and a devoted friend to the men who have become his brothers. He hold great admiration for Tobias because without him, their crusade itself wouldn't have been possible. Also because he is one of the few to notice the discrimination that still goes on, regarding blood types, and has spoke up against it.
Frank has no doubt in his mind that he has been in love with Molly Weasley from the moment he laid eyes upon her. Molly is the most gorgeous and flawless human being on the planet in Frank's eyes. He is hopelessly devoted to her and she is his second priority, only coming after his family. Although Molly see's him as an insufferable git who harasses her with poetry, flowers and crude jokes; that is simply how Frank feels about her. He often teases her about her studying habits, but means no harms by it, however she doesn't take it that way. Frank doesn’t hate Molly as much as she seems to hate him. In fact, it was just last year that he proclaimed his love for her with a huge bouquet of roses. He then proceeded to send her poems that he wrote for her, throughout the summer. Frank has been heard regarding her as the centre of his universe on multiple occasions and got an earful from Tobias on letting his feelings distract him, as his entire summer was spent writing about every single physical and personality trait of her's. Molly continues to refuse his advances, however, he is stubbornly fixated on her and continues to pursue her through poetry, flowers, and anything else that may help him. Since last year, he hasn't been seen with another girl because he is too loyal to Molly.
