Alice Liddell

My name's Alice Liddell. I'm a 6th year Hufflepuff. I get along with most people. My best friend is Frank Longbottom. Pic credit: annamorgause

Where?

Has anyone seen a book? I-It’s black, sort of medium sized… It has a lot of writings in its margins.

[theliddellbadger]

I haven't. Where did you lose it? I'd be happy to help you look.

Peeves!

[daaisy-hookum-deactivated201311]

Oh god, no, I know exactly what you mean. I feel like all I’ve been doing lately is studying for NEWTs, it’s insane.

[theliddellbadger]

Yeah, I know. I kinda hate it, because I feel like I've become so boring lately. Like I've forgotten how to have fun.

[theliddellbadger]

I just feel like curling up by the fire in the common room with a good book.

[blueeyedbones-deactivated201401]

I think that sounds lovely, mind if I join you? I’ll bring tea…

[theliddellbadger]

Please do! I've missed you, Amelia.

[daaisy-hookum-deactivated201311]

Peeves!

[daaisy-hookum-deactivated201311]

*smiles, tucking some hair behind her ear* Wonderful, Alice, thank you! So, er, how’ve you been, anyway?

[theliddellbadger]

I've been doing well. Mostly studying. Kinda boring, I know, but that's my life lately.

Stupid Defense Against the Dark Arts....

[flicktheslytherin]

It’s a nice thought. Not very logical, but nice nonetheless. It’s what is expected of me and I honestly am fine with the arrangement.

I am fine with enjoying my time here as I please.

[theliddellbadger]

I don't see what's so illogical about it. The whole idea of arranged marriages makes no sense to me. My parents married for love and they're both purebloods. I don't think marrying out of obligation makes any sense.

[flicktheslytherin]

Stupid Defense Against the Dark Arts....

[flicktheslytherin]

Love is a bit much to ask of someone my parents will likely pick out for me.

[theliddellbadger]

Well, who says you have to go along with it? Marriage should be about love. I mean, the way I see it is if you're going to spend the rest of your life with someone, you should love that person, because the rest of your life is a very long time. I won't settle for anything less.

[flicktheslytherin]

Stupid Defense Against the Dark Arts....

[flicktheslytherin]

If it’s ever a battle of the wits, I am more than prepared, but for a physical battle, I will be better leaving it off to someone else. He’ll be honored to do it I am sure. Whoever he ends up being. But as I said, I am likely not in any danger. 

Thank you. Hope all goes well with you being…an auror.

[theliddellbadger]

But, if you love him...why would you want him to? If you love someone you would die to protect them, not want them to die protecting you.

Thanks, I'm working really hard.

[flicktheslytherin]

Stupid Defense Against the Dark Arts....

[flicktheslytherin]

I’ll have other people to defend me. Hopefully a nice husband. Though really, who would want to attack a pureblood from a respectable family?

Just as well that I don’t need it. I am rubbish at the class.

[theliddellbadger]

Alice frowns. So, instead of fighting your own battles, you're going to just stand there and let your husband fight for you? Possibly die for you? I'm a pureblood as well, you know, but that's not going to stop me from fighting. I'm going to be an auror, and I'm going to defend the wizarding world the best I can.

Well, I do wish you luck. I hope all goes well.

[daaisy-hookum-deactivated201311]

Peeves!

[daaisy-hookum-deactivated201311]

*wipes the gunk from her eyes before giving Alice a brief smile* Fine, thank you Alice. Wonderful, now I smell rotten.

[theliddellbadger]

I know a simple spell that should take care of that. *waves her wand and says the incantation, removing the mess and the smell* There. Good as new.

[flicktheslytherin]

Stupid Defense Against the Dark Arts....

[flicktheslytherin]

I don’t see the point.

For one thing, when will I ever have to fight?

[theliddellbadger]

There's a war happening. You never know when we'll be attacked. We have to learn how to defend ourselves.

[theliddellbadger]

I just feel like curling up by the fire in the common room with a good book.

[daaisy-hookum-deactivated201311]

Peeves!

[theliddellbadger]

Oh no! Daisy, are you alright?

[flicktheslytherin]

Stupid Defense Against the Dark Arts....

When am I even going to need it?

[theliddellbadger]

But...it's one of the most important classes we have! If not the most important class!

[its-maryelizabeth]

I don’t expect perfection, I just don’t want to look like a idiot.

[theliddellbadger]

But, making mistakes is how you learn.

[bloodyblackwell-blog]

Bloody hell.

[theliddellbadger]

What happened?

[darkest-dolohov-deactivated2013]

Tensions are certainly running high around here.

[darkest-dolohov-deactivated2013]

Did I say there was?

[theliddellbadger]

You insinuated as much.

[darkest-dolohov-deactivated2013]

Tensions are certainly running high around here.

[darkest-dolohov-deactivated2013]

Whatever. I didn’t expect you to anyways what with you being in Hufflepuff and all.

[theliddellbadger]

There is nothing wrong with being a Hufflepuff!
