The Prewetts were quite an average bunch, of different faces. Alice had toms of different cousins of all ages, most of them older than her, some exactly the same year, yet still months older. They were always visiting each other, usually at a different Prewett home than Alice’s, seeing as it was a small home in London. Some of the cousins of Alice were good, some were bad and some were just oddities. They had all sorts of unspoken traditions that they all seemed to know about, despite the silence on them. Each Prewett home was usually called the oldest child’s name by the kids. For example, the home of Aimee and Caroline was Caroline’s home. No one remembered why that tradition got started, but it was easy for those kids to talk about each household as a whole. Caroline Jade Prewett was 17 when Alice first joined Hogwarts, and was definitely a Slytherin at heart. She was tall, with straight blonde hair going down her back reaching exactly the middle of it. Alice never understood how Caroline could keep her hair so nice, it was never tangled and every hair was in place. Caroline disliked Alice a lot, because in her mind, she brought a bad name to the Prewett households. Alice was far too abnormal, and didn’t play by the rules. When she grew too old for her own household, she was married off, and only visited the Prewetts on holidays. She was furiously protective of her sister Aimee, and the death of Aimee, only fueled her hate towards Alice. Tyler, who also was a Slytherin, was 19 by the time Alice first got into Hogwarts, and he adored her when she was a child. As we said, Alice hated most of her cousins, but not all. Tyler, who was also tall, wasn’t quite as blonde as Caroline, but his hair wasn’t nearly as dark as Alice’s. He was well known for carrying Alice on his back and listening to her stories of what she would do as an Auror, along with Thomas R. However, the spring of Alice’s fourth year, all that changed. Tyler became a Death Eater. He ran away from home leaving a letter explaining he didn’t want to be with all the blood traitors in the family. Alice was heart broken, but couldn’t say she didn’t see it coming. Tyler Prewett had been a true Slytherin, despite his forming friendship with his Gryffindor cousin. Then there was Thomas R., who rarely revealed what the R stood for, though I’ll give you a hint; Remington is quite the place to live. Perhaps his parents knew that when they named him he’d roam amongst the ‘ravens’ though he was an eagle you could say. Ravenclaw. He was relatively medium height, and like Tyler, he adored Alice. He was exactly six years and two days older than her. He and Tyler were the only complete Prewett household that didn’t find her a nuisance to their name. He in fact, encouraged her to be an Auror when she was a child, telling her all the exciting things that happened in there. As he grew older, he became an Auror himself, and he wrote to Alice once in a while. His visits were only occasional, and he seemed to take his brother’s absents better than Alice, making it quite clear, he was there if she needed him, saying they didn’t need Tyler. This prompted many fights between them. Fights that caused his writing to her to stop, fights that shaped her into a little less forgiving person than she was before. Now every family has a troublemaker, and the Prewetts were no exception. However the origin of who caused the most trouble was unknown. It was either the Alice house, or the Jenny house. Jenny however, wasn’t the troublemaker. Quite contrary actually, she made sure her brother, Jack Nate Prewett, didn’t cause serious damaging trouble. Jack never went by his full name, and only his family knew it to be honest. He hated the name Nate. His trouble and Alice’s trouble was different though, because while Alice got in trouble because of her mouth, he got in trouble because of his pranks. Jenny who was older often attempted to control her brother, but to no avail. Jenny had pretty red hair, cut into sort of a bob style, while her brother has brown-red hair that was pretty long for a boy. They contrasted so much to each other. However, no one could deny they loved each other. Jack was the essence of Gryffindor, and Jenny was a perfect Hufflepuff. Of course, we all know there were three children her age beside herself: Molly, Gideon, and Aimee. She thought each of them was okay, however her and Gideon had a competitive lifestyle. Her and Aimee were relatively close, and she didn’t hate Molly, because let’s face it guys. Everyone loved Molly. Damien, Damien was kind of a prude. He always had his nose buried in the same book; Grand Things Like Defeating A Dragon. Damien Prewett claimed he’d fight off dragons and werewolves and other things like that. He adored these ideas. He was also a tall Prewett, a gene Alice wasn’t lucky enough to receive. He was true to his Ravenclaw nature, studying harder than possible, never having fun. He was in his third year by the time Alice got to go to Hogwarts. His definite Ravenclaw ways made him an underrated Prewett, though he inspired Alice. Madison Jade Anneke Prewett was the most judgmental of the entire group of cousins. She was a Slytherin, and four years older than Alice. She and her sister Averi constantly judged everyone, especially their narcissistic cousin Caroline. They judged Alice even after she lost her lisp. Even though Averi was Gryffindor, it didn’t stop her relation with Madison Jade. Most of the time, Madison just complained about her cousin Caroline, to Averi, who would gladly listen. Madison absolutely hated Caroline, though Caroline wasn’t bright enough to tell. Caroline also hated Madison, though in “secret”. She’d complain to Aimee about her, or anyone who would listen. Even Alice heard no end of the troubles with Madison Jade or Caroline. Madison especially hated when Caroline reminded her she had the same second name. Averi, who was three years older than Alice, was constantly at the side of her big sister, though she was gentler about her hate. Their other siblings, Brooke, Lucas, Elizabeth, and Annabella were only their half siblings, because their father had remarried. Annabella and Lucas were both Slytherins, Elizabeth and Brooke was Ravenclaw. Valerie was a loyal Hufflepuff. Nearly everyone enjoyed her companion, except Alice. Alice didn’t like her because she found her too happy. She was fourteen years older than Alice, making her the oldest of the cousins. She was sweet to everyone, and always happy, much to Alice’s disgusted. She was too sweet, and she annoyed Alice. Her sister, Isabelle, was five years older than Alice, and a Ravenclaw and her triplet brothers, Jacob, Jasper, James Jr., we all four years older than Alice, Jacob Ravenclaw, and Jasper and James Jr. were also a Hufflepuffs, and her the youngest of the Valerie house, Victoria, was three years older than Alice, she was a Hufflepuff. Then there were the twins of the Darla Anne house. Darla Anne was their oldest sister, a Gryffindor of the home, and she lived with her two sisters, Caitlin and Stephanie, though no one used their full names. They were Cait and Steph. Cait was the Ravenclaw and Steph a Slytherin they were relatively close siblings. Alice didn’t like any of them at that house, because they were all so girly. It annoyed her. Another of the Prewett traditions was house rivalry. Not from house to house that they lived in, but house-to-house at Hogwarts. If one house had the more of the Prewetts in it then another, that house felt higher and mightier amongst the others. It had always been a tradition, even when the grandparents were at school. At the family table during holidays, the Prewetts had a very normal system; Youngest eats last. Now, no one minded this rule all that much, except baby Alice. She usually got good meals, but the problem was she hated being last. She always attempted to coin someone into giving her the food dish, which she managed to most of the time. Usually Jack, or Thomas felt sorry for her and handed it down ‘accidentally’. Used to, when Tyler was there, he’d get twice as much as he’d eat, and share some of the with Alice, because she never got what she liked the most. There was so little of her favorite dish made, mainly because most people didn’t like it, including the usual cooks. Up until the year Alice was born, only boys would play pranks on anyone. They promised anyone out of their “Prank Wars” would not get pranked on, and were usual considerate of this, minus Jack. However, Alice always attempted her way into the Prank Wars, and thought it wasn’t fair how sexist her cousins acted. She proved from a very young age she was tough enough to handle a lot, not crying when Jack used a Levicorpus on her, lifting her in a tree to high to get out. She didn’t cry, or wail for help like her other female cousins had, not even when she hit her head on the tree. She just sat there while she planned how to get out, and pretty soon, she was in a pile of leaves on the ground, that she conveniently didn’t see before. She didn’t know Tyler had moved it to help her, but neither did anyone else. She jumped out of the tree and beat up Jack, the best a six year old could beat up an eleven year old. From then on, she was including in their pranks, even though she hadn’t a wand till she was eleven. She had learnt to fight with her hands too. Even though most of her cousins hated Alice, it was family hate. If she really needed them, they’d be there, possibly save Caroline. They weren’t bad family. They weren’t close to her. They could be there for her though, if she needed them.
