nigerian on his mothers side

hufflepuff 100%

friendly with Remus and Lily during his hogwarts years

he was definetely a prefect lmao

probably on good terms with James Potter

was terrible at Quidditch and broomstick flying

got N.E.W.T.s in DADA, Charms, Transfiguration, Herbology, Muggle Studies, Potions and Arithmancy

a smart boi

joined the first Order of the Pheonix just after graduating as an Auror when he was 21

it was very shortly before the end of the first wizarding war

trained under Rufus Scrimgeour (very few people trained under Mad-Eye, because he's so well sought after and he's very paranoid about who to trust and to train)

did prove himself to Alastor eventually though, and they became good friends

i think he may have even been a DADA teacher one year during the time between the wars bur then returned to his Auror job

he encouraged Tonks to become an Auror despite everyone telling her she isn't fit for the job

was close with Frank and Alice Longbottom and often joined them on Auror mission

helped Tonks when she was worried about failing her Auror examinations

was the leading expert on Muggle Studies in the Auror office, which is why it was him who was sent to become the muggle prime ministers personal body guard

had a nice bond with Hermione, she often goes to him for advice on her career and personal life too

completely changed the ministry of magic's attitude to the wizarding world

he got rid of any laws that enabled blood supremacy, racism, classism and predudice about muggles

Marauders Relationships Headcanons

james dated alice in his 3rd and 4th years only to make lily jealous, before finally getting with her in his 7th year. first kiss was sirius in 1st year as an "experiment"

sirius is a manwh*re and a gay mess. he has had flings and hookups with about a dozen guys but never had a proper relationship until remus. first kiss was with a french muggle boy when he was 8

remus dated lily in 2nd year. didn't mean much. he then crushed on sirius for years focused on his studies until he got with sirius in their 5th year. first kiss was lily

peter had a girlfriend in his 4th year and her third but he doesn't know how to talk to girls so it ended after 4 months. kissed sirius while he was drunk in 5th year (sirius has kissed everyone lol)

lily dated remus in her second year. had a ravenclaw bf in her 4th year and a hufflepuff bf in her 6th year. got with james in their 7th year. had a crush on marlene for a while. first kiss was severus, as a dare from petunia

marlene and sirius tried to date in their 3rd year, but they both shortly realised they were gay. dated dorcas ever since. her first kiss was with a girl in primary school.

dorcas only dated marlene, she was never interested in relationships before getting with her. her first kiss was marlene

mary dated STRICTLY hufflepuff's. that is the most she can put up with XD

alice dated james in her 4th and 5th year. after dumping james she got with frank in her 6th year. first kiss was james

frank never dated until his 6th year when he asked out alice, who was his first kiss

snape never dated, but had a kiss from lily when he was 9 and crushed on her for the rest of his life 💀

regulus dated a slytherin girl in his year with the surname "Nott", and they were meant to get married, but that clearly didn't turn out well. his first kiss was in his 4th year

Frank and Alice Longbottom Headcannons

Alice Longbottom

Alice is a nickname for Adalheidis

Born on June 21st 1960

Between 5 and 5’2

Has heterochromia (one blue one violet eye)

Has fiery curly red hair with white strands throughout (it kind of like how Rhaenys Targaryen was suppose to look and is depicted in Panagiota Mylona’s fan art)

Lots of freckles

Is either a metamorphamgaus or a parseltounge (her dad is a metamorpmagus and her Mum is a parselmouth I do not know whose genetics would win.)

Her parents were best friends and she is the result of a one night stand

Has a large family including half and step siblings

Her mother, a Prewett married Florian Fortescue while her father a Griffiths married a Bulstrode. Both raised Alice as if she was there own.

Likes Floriograohy

Played Quiditch

Great at herbology

Was a hat stall between Gryffindor (where her brothers were) and Slytherin eventually Gryfindor won out because she wanted to be with Frank and she threaten the sorting hat saying that she would have her one of brothers set it on fire

Is childhood friends with Frank

In Lily and the Marauaders year (I know this is unlikely but I like it all we know was she was a respected Auror by the time she was tortured which was likely between 1984 and 1986 not in 1981 giving Alice plenty of time to be a respected Auror by the time she was tortured. It was a war which would give her more opportunities to prove herself and who knows with the ongoing war the Auror training that takes three years may have been cut back to get more Aurors out there.)

Augusta really dislikes her and only puts up with Alice because Frank threatened to go no contact

Had two abortions one on 1975 and the other iin early 1978, she also had a pregnancy scare in 1976 and a miscarriage in early 1979 before she got pregnant with Neville (her and Frank were kind of careless and according to statistics Nearly 1 in 5 births to teens, ages 15–19, are repeat births. Most (86%) are 2nd births Some teens are giving birth to a 3rd (13% of repeat births) or 4th up to 6th child (2% of repeat births) and About 1 in 5 sexually active teen mothers use the most effective types of birth control after they have given birth.)

Started dating Frank in 1974

Married Frank as soon as she could after graduation

Neville was an entirely planned baby. Frank and Alice wanted something permanent,a part of each other in case one of them did not survive the war.

Was mentored by Alastair Moody who was also her Uncle through marriage

Her father and many of her brothers were also Aurors.

Alice was generally liked but girls were jealous of her relationship with Frank which resulted in her being bullied

Was plump or Plus sized

Had insecurities about how she looked and would require lots of reassurance from Frank which he did not mind giving (he was an extremely understanding and caring boyfriend

Her insecurities were partly the result of her mother fat shaming her and favouring her stepsister

Her patronus was a Phoenix

Frank would call her Ace, Aces, Gem, Pearl, Flower, Al or Ali

Wore heels a lot due to her height difference from Frank

Stole his Quiditch jumpers all the time

Rarely wore her own clothes

Would steal food off Frank plate constantly

Besties with Pandora, Xenopholius, Edgar and Caradoc

Was also friends with Marlene, Lily, Emmeline, Dorcas, Sirius, James, Remus, Sybil, Ethan MacDogoual, Peter and others

Was friendly enough with Regulus although she mainly put up with him for Pandora’s sake

She and Marlene were co-godmothers to Harry ( I like either Marlene or Alice being his godmother and as I can not choose they are co godmothers. Harry has three godparents deal with it)

Despite being younger she was like the big sister Lily wished she had

Swears like a sailor to the point that Neville’s first word was b*tch

Was a bastard (she was legitimised after her seventh birthday)

Frank Longbottom

Frank’s full name is Francis Castor Joseph Kristopher Elroy Algernon Longbottom

His parents are Augusta and Elroy Longbottom

Mixed race (Augusta is black, Elroy is white)

Born January 17th 1957

Between 6’5 and 6’9 (I imagine the Longbottoms as really tall)

Heir to house Longbottom

Had an older brother who died at seventeen leading to Frank becoming heir at fourteen

Had four older sisters, one older brother, three younger brother, two younger sisters (one was stillborn)

Siblings names are in order Berniece, Cerenna, Deirdre, Emphyria, Aldous,(Frank) Genesis, Genavene, Hendrix, Isaias, and Jaqueline

Was in Gryfinndor

Adored Alice

He and Alice were in a secret relationship for almost two years because it made Alice more comfortable but all here wanted to do was tell people she was his girlfriend

Played Quiditch

Was Headboy and Quiditch captain

Asked Alice out dozens of times before she said yes despite her liking him as well. He later learnt that she though Frank had been joking all those times as she could never believe that a guy like him would want to be more than friends with a girl like her

Proposed 3 times before Alice said yes

Had two wedding ceremonies one with just him and Alice (and witnesses) and a big wedding with all there friends and family. The small ceremony was there favourite.

Followed in his father’s footsteps and became an Auror

Is not as gifted at herbology as Alice but likes it nonetheless

Quite popular

His weakness is Alice

He is cool and collected while Alice is hothead and temperamental

The only time he lost his cool was when someone dared to insult or make Alice uncomfortable (protective BFF/husband)

Pretended to act like he was annoyed by Alice stealing his clothes and food but he actually loved it

Alice calls him Frankie and she is the only one allowed to

Is quite confident unless he is with Alice then he gets nervous

Brought Alice breakfast in bed whenever he could when she was pregnant

Went no contact with his parents (his mother in particular) after Alice had been insulted one too many times. He told his mother and sisters if they could not be civil with Alice then to not talk to him until they could. Alice always came first.

Was there for both of Alice’s abortions and never blame her nor left her side. He wanted the children but he respected her decision he loves her and never resents her for not being ready to be a mum.

Frank did more housework then Alice

Every night he went home to Alice he would always keep her close in bed reassuring himself she was there and she was fine.

Older brother figure to the Marauders

Would often have to stop Alice from ending up in a fight

Other Headcannons

They were never tortured to insanity (who am I kidding that is canon. I take no arguments on this)

They both wanted a large family.

They had a large family. At least six kids excluding Neville. The only reason they slowed down was Alice’s health

Both rose through the ranks in the Auror Office

Alice became Head Auror

Frank became the Deputy head of the DMLE

Were members of the second order

Their family survived both wars

Took family picnics often

Gardened as a family

Cooked as a family

Had two wedding ceremonies one just for them (they eloped) the second was for family. No one beside the officiant and witnesses are aware of the elopement

Both of them saw through Dumbledore

Both Longbottoms had tattoos and piercings

Were partners at work and at home. They were known as the gamblers in the Auror office because they always took risks.

Frank and Alice rarely fought

Frank would often tease about how short she was and she would often call Frank an insufferable giant

Alice and Frank are magical soulmates (I take no criticism on this) and it is one of the reason Augusta eventually put up with Alice as she and Elroy were soulmates as well

Frank and Alice are very much in love, like extremely, they are head over heels for each other but they are also kick arse Aurors( there is absolutely NO CHEATING. I have read far to many fics for my liking that have one of Fralice cheating on the other. Give them any other storyline if you really want them to break up for a while in your fic before getting back together use one of Fralice’s parents hating their partner or they grow apart or they are a very different person around others or they break up after an abortion or if you really want to have a cheating storyline involving Fralice maybe that is how Fralice gets together by one or both of them cheating on their partner and the fall out of that. I absolutely hate the Fralice trope come up with something original cheating is not the only way to make them interesting.

Frank and Alice will sometimes use muggle fighting techniques on Death Eaters when they are bored

Did it like rabbits

Always touching each other (not always sexually it could be hugging, holding hands, a hand around the waist, head on shoulder)

Had a surprise baby at 40 (Alice) and 44 (Frank)

Most of their babies were unplanned but welcomed surprises (Frank is a little forgetful on the potion and charm side of things and Alice is so busy she doesn’t notice either.) eventually Frank had a vasectomy (or the wizard if counterpart) it worked for several years but then it reversed itself and we’ll surprise baby

Alice was pissed when she found out she was pregnant at forty and Frank slept on the couch for at least a week

Had most of their babies young so while the children were off at Hogwarts they could travel (it worked for the first few years before the surprise baby out there plans on hold)

Augusta did not like the fact that the women suceeding her as Lady Longbottom was a legitimatimized bastard but what she hated more was the fact her son dated Alice while she was a bastard. Augusta tolerated his friendship with the bastard (Alice) only because she came along with her family and they would not leave her home

Frank gave Alice hair combs and eventually began to make them so Alice has a large collection

The hair comb Headcannons was inspired by the fic And Then My Heart (With Pleasure Fills) by dehydrated_thot on Ao3 it is a Fem Neville Longbottom X Harry Potter (they are godsiblings) and Harry gives Niamh (fem neville) hair comb

I love Fralice so here are a few of my favourite fics with them in it

Just the two of us by dancerchic16 on Wattpad & Ao3 (incomplete but I love it) they are the main focus

Waterloo by auroraleigh1856 (ongoing but Fralice is a nice side pairing and I love it) Waterloo is a muggle Au and the main pairing is Jily it is currently in Frank.net

Armada by auroraleigh1856 (essentially a forbidden love take on Fralice with no Voldemort. It is a long shot) It is on both Ao3 and ff.net

Marauders: Growing up by Loadsofrandomness (Fralice is a side pairing) covers year 1-5 of Hogwarts

Marauders: Fighting back by Loadsofrandomness (sequel to Marauders: growing up) covers sixth year till October 1980 (it is completed and is the second in Loadofrandomness’ Marauders series the author is currently writing the 3rd instalment and has several more planned 7 in total last time I checked their page on ff.net) the stories are on both ff.net and Ao3

Amateurs at war by Natalie.Ana on both ff.net and a03 (the fic is currently incomplete and I do not know if the author is going to continue it but it is a great fic

The bonds we trust by rocks-my-socks on ff.net (Au where the Longbottoms are not tortured, take in Harry, Frank proves Sirius innocence and there are hints of wolf star in the last few chapters)

Only the Good Die Young by intothewilder& pinkpeppermintpatties on a03 (Fralice is a sidepairing

The Marauders by SilverThestral on ao3 (Fralice is a side pairing)

Of Arrogant Toerags and Rabid Redheads by messengeroflove on ao3 (Fralice is a side pairing)

Marauders Characters and their patronuses

(That is not how it's spelled but leave me alone)

We obvs have the 3 we already know, Sirius - Dog, James - Stag, Peter -Rat(atouille)

Then Remus as a brown cat

That one.

Mary as a squirrel. Don't ask, I just see it.

Lily as an Australian magpie or a lammergeier

Marlene is a falcon

Dorcas as a Barred Owl

Pandora is a fennec fox or a gecko.

Barty as a racoon.

Evan as a ferret or stoat

Regulus as a black cat

Then here are a few less major but still cool characters:

Bellatrix as some type of snake or scorpion

Rita as a robin or bluebird

Narcissa as a swan

Alice as a starling

Frank as a jack russel terrier

I could go on but Im stopping now

HERE YA GO BABES <3

James Potter is the worst.

What with his annoying perfect hair and piercing blue eyes...

This is not an opinion, no, it's a proven fact.

How any woman finds him attractive is beyond me. Sure, his face is sort of pleasing to look at if you squint and ignore his awful personality.

I mean come on! The figure skating championship is fast a approaching and here he is hogging the ice rink with his pack of smelly jerkoffs aka hockey players.

A game filled with nothing but brute force, the exact opposite of the graceful skill of figure skating.

The whole team has a combined IQ of 100 -it's only that high because Remus is there- and a complete disrespect it seems for the booking of the rink.

We ran 10 minutes late! 10 minutes and they decide our privileges' get revoked! Who put them -him especially- in charge of how time is spent? It's not like they even need the extra couple of hours practice they seem to have the whole wrestling on ice skates-thing down.

"Oh cheer up y/n! At least we have something fun to look at!" I break my gaze from the sweaty pack of dogs and on to best friend and fellow skater, Alice Fortesque. My eyes are wide in disbelief and betrayal shoots through my body! How dare she say such a thing! About our sworn nemesis' too!

"What- what?! No! That should be us on the ice making them be jealous! We should be the eye candy not these buffoons'! Making a mockery of our beloved sport."

"Oh shut up! What have hockey players ever done to you? Just because you hate one doesn't mean the whole entire group of them are rotten. Frank is a hockey player and you don't hate him!"

"Right, so one of how many isn't a total douche? Wow high standards you have, Alice." I roll my eyes at my friend's unsuccessful attempt on pushing me to the dark side of being a hockey groupie.

"What did hockey ever do to you?"

"Yeah Y/N, What'd hockey ever do to you?" The annoying, stupidly hot voice of James Potter fills my ears. Fuck him and his funny accent and amazing hair and strong, muscular body-

No. Nope. Not going to happen today. None of this 'lustful thoughts' bullshit.

"None of your business, you weasel!"

"You're are the talking about me, love. Sounds like your rather obsessed with me."

"Shut your trap! If anyone is obsessed, its you! What're you doing over here anyway? You stole the rink from us and aren't even using it? Fuck you."

"Woah! Y/N, have some decorum!" His minions skate over when they realize James has stopped skating and is loitering by the wall talking to us.

I groan and throw my head back before I realize the opportunity in front of me.

"Since you're all here, I have something to tell you all."

"Aww we love you too, Y/N!" Sirius butts in with a sarcastic smile, his arms going over his heart as he pretend swoons into Remus' chest next to him.

"No, you dog! Fuck off and get off the ice. We have it booked for the next hour." Voices erupt from the group of hockey players as they look at me in outrage.

"You can't kick us out!"

"She can't kick us out.. right?"

"She totally can, man."

"Who put you in charge?" James pipes up as the voices stop their exclamations.

"Let me reiterate what I just said: We. Have. It. Booked. Maybe learn to read before it's too late and you lose more brain cells. Oh, and check the schedule before you, knuckleheads go out on the rink!"

"Stopping being a bitch, Y/N!"

"The fuck did you just say to me, James?"

"Woah dude-" Frank's voice pipes up from where he is standing next to Alice. He slowly approaches where James and I are glaring at each other, the wall of the rink separating us.

"No someone has to say it! Just because you're some hotshot figure skater doesn't mean you can be an ass to everyone!"

"Oh really? If that's what you think of me I would hate to hear what you think about yourself! You play fucking hockey! Enjoy your missing front tooth."

"I'll have you know all of my teeth are authentic."

I roll my eyes at his stupid retort.

Thank god he has looks or else I'd be worried.

"Whatever get off the ice before I call Coach Hooch."

"You wouldn't-"

"You want to test me?" James gulps before looking over his shoulder at his teammates.

"Okay, fine. We'll leave.."

"Fucking finally."

"If you go on a date with me."

What?

"What?" Alice voices my confusion as I stand frozen for a moment.

What the hell?

Why would he ask that?

If he liked me why didn't he ever act like it?

What if it's a prank? A big joke to string me along and then humiliate me?

The Marauders are known throughout campus for their pranks-

No, that can't be it because Remus, Sirius, and Peter look just as confused as I feel.

Then he must be genuine or splitting from his bff's and going solo on this prank.

Or they are really good actors-

Nope! Fuck! Fuckity-fuck!

"We'll clear out of the rink if you agree to go on a date with me."

"Uh- no? No!" My resolution falls flat as my confusion washes away to anger.

How dare he!

"Ok guess we're going to keep on practicing-"

"Ugh fine! Fine! I'll go on a date with you! Only because I need to practice for regionals, no other reason."

"Of course, love. No other reason." He smirks smugly while looking me straight in the eyes. "I'll pick you up at 8, wear something nice."

God why am I such a sucker for eye contact?

With one final glance James turns around and skates towards the locker rooms, his minions follow after him- minus Frank.

"What the hell just happened Y/N?"

"I- I don't know Alice."

"I can't believe I agreed to this."

"Oh be quiet Y/N! Think of tonight as an opportunity! A free meal, him being less of menace about the rink and maybe even a good orgasm or two."

"The only time those two words go together with James Potter is in his wet dreams."

"You can't lie and say he isn't hot!" I grunt at her words moving my focus to doing my mascara. "What's the worse that can happen? I've heard the rumors and so have you! You know he's good in bed."

"You are making me nauseous, Alice."

"And you're being stubborn."

I roll my eyes at her words as I finish putting the dark serum on my eyelashes. I stand and look down at my outfit.

"I'm not going to fight with my best friend over something as stupid as James Potter."

"Aww 'best friend'? Maybe this whole ordeal has softened me."

"Yeah like 'soft' a rotting banana stuck in someone's freezer just in case they decide to make banana bread but never do."

"Oddly elaborate metaphor Y/N."

"It's been an odd week."

"I'll give you that." Alice reaches over and hands me one of her lipsticks. "Here put this on. You need a pop of color."

The lipstick's creamy formula glides over my lips painting them a striking red.

A nice simple, black dress and a pair of heeled black shiny boots that rise to just below my knee.

Cute and simple, right?

Not too simple though.

Just the right amount -almost mysterious in a way.

Plus the heeled aspect of the shoes classifies it as 'nice' therefore, appealing to James Potter's demands.

The sound of the doorbell ringing knocks me out of my spiral.

"Ok be safe, ok? I'll be with Frank and have my phone with me the entire night. One text and I'll drop everything for you." Alice wraps me in her warm embrace and I sigh.

"I will have my location sharing on Life360 the whole time. My phone is charged and ready for whatever the fuck this is." My black trench coat with a thick faux-fur collar is put on my shoulders as Alice ushers me to the door.

I open our door and am immediately met with a large bouquet of flowers in the hands of one very dashing James Potter.

"Hey."

"Hi."

An awkward pause as his eyes look me up and down, making my skin crawl.

"Um these are for you." He extends his right hand holding the beautiful bouquet of dark red roses and baby's-breath. I quickly move my face to inhale the sweet scent of the flowers.

"Oh wow! Thank you! These are beautiful."

"Not as beautiful as you." I can't help but roll my eyes at this though I cannot stop my cheeks from heating up.

"You are so corny."

"Only for you, Y/N."

"I bet you say that to every girl." Alice interrupts James before he can reply and I feel relieved.

We haven't even left the doorway!

We still have a whole fucking date to go!

"Ok. Ok! I'm going to go put these in a vase and you two go have fun! Make sure to use protection, kids!" Alice promptly pushes me into the hallway of our apartment building and slams the door.

"Omg- I'm sorry for her."

"Good advise though."

"You're are delusional if you think I'm going to sleep with you."

"A guy can dream."

"Sounds more like a nightmare to me."

"Ok negative Nancy."

"'Negative Nancy' what are you five?"

"be a bit weird if I was and you were on a date with me."

"I really don't think out of the two of us that I am the weird one."

"I like the use of 'us' in that sentence."

"Please stop talking."

"Only because you said please."

Our witty banter causes a smile to spread on my lips and my body to feel warm despite the cool temperatures outside.

One date turned into two and two turned into a long term relationship.

How it happened is beyond me, I thought I was firm in my dislike of the proud peacock aka James Potter.

Evidently I wasn't.

Alright so, maybe I do know how he became my boyfriend..

It probably had something to do with his dashing goods looks, sense of humor and our variety of shared interests.

Our first date ended with me not only starting to like him but giving him a quick kiss on the cheek before retreating into my apartment.

It was only the beginning of me going back on my oaths against James Potter.

Little did I know that the guy who annoyed the hell out of me was soon going to be the most important person in my life (after Alice of course).

The man that I love forever and always.

Even when he hogs the ice rink when I have it booked.

(We are working on it because it's really fucking annoying)
