Alice Fortescue

“If you’re not, somebody else might be.” She said with a sigh. “Ha. Ha. That’s about the last thing I’m gonna do.” Doe shook her head before running a hand through her hair. “Honestly, we both kind of suck at advice… comes with the territory I guess.”

“Okay. Next time we talk I’ll say something. I promise.” Saying out loud would make it real to her. She couldn’t let herself lie to Dorcas. “Let’s talk about something else. Anything else.”

“You are. And I won’t stop.” His pouting intensified. “Wow, how the hell did you make not being a serial killer sound like an insult.” he laughed. “Well, I don’t want you dead per se, but sometimes you make me wish you would lose a limb or two.” he scoffed. 

“So maybe I’m avoiding the Gryffindor common room, but I’m not ignoring you. Well, I’m not trying to ignore you. It’s been an unintended side affect,” Alice explained. “It’s a practiced skill. I fit in a backhanded compliments course after charms on Thursdays. Now which limb were you thinking?”

“I don’t know, Fortescue. You tell me.” he pouted. “Is that all the trust you have in me? You speak like I am a serial killer attempting to lure you into a trap and then murder you brutally.” 

“I’m not ignoring you so quit pouting. It’s your own fault I can’t trust you not to have ulterior motives, but I don’t think you’re a serial killer. You’re neither cruel, nor clever enough to pull that off. Besides, if you wanted me dead then you’ve squandered plenty of opportunities. I’m not worried about that.”

“What? I am not allowed to miss you? Have you been purposely trying to ignore me?”

“What reason could I have for ignoring you? Of course you’re allowed to miss me, but how can I not be suspicious when you try to wax poetic about it?”

‘i miss you more than tick misses tock.’

“It has been too long since we’ve spent time together.”

“What the fuck do you care if I drink my life away?! Don’t you fucking get it, Alice?! I should be dead! Not him! Me! Is that what you wanted me to tell you? That him being gone is the worst feeling in the world and your fucking constant happiness is so hard to be around when my life is falling to shit?” There were tears in the lion’s eyes and she stumbled back. “I don’t listen to anyone, Alice. I never had and never will, you should already know that.”

“I miss you more than a mailbox misses letters on Sundays.”

@alicevfortescue

“Then you should write more. I want ridiculously long letters that have details that seem unimportant, but I want them anyways.”

“Well, I appreciate your never-ending concern for my safety even if it sometimes spoils my plans.” Todd teased, a smile growing on his lips as he glanced down at their entwined hands, giving her smaller ones a good squeeze. At her words, his eyebrow quirked as she went on. “A cat? Do I really look like a tiny kitten person? Me, someone who likes fire breathing dragons and killer wolves?” He chuckled before his laugh trailed off. “Can I tie wings on it and name it Dragon?”

“One of us has to keep you alive.” It was habit to step closer and squeeze his hands in return, a smile on her lips as her eyes met his. “Actually, yes. You look exactly like a tiny kitten person. We can make the best pair of wings and enchant them for your little Dragon. What do you say?”

“I miss you more than the pen misses paper.”

@alicevfortescue

“Oh no, what are you up to, Sirius?”

“To be honest, that’s a decision only you can make.” She offered up. “As for Toni and I… well… same as it’s been since everything went down. I mean there are days I think that maybe we could try again but telling someone you love them 5th year only to have them run off kind of makes things messy.”

“There’s just never a good time, and it’s going to end up being one of those awkward we need to talk moments, and I don’t know if I’m ready for that.” Alice worried the hem of her sweater through her fingers. She wanted to tell him now, but she was scared. “You could always tie him up and try it again. I want to offer better advice, but considering everything I don’t think I’m the person for that.”

“You have got to tell that boy you like him before someone else does.” She replied with a roll of the eyes. “Then again… maybe that’s not the best idea… erm look what happened to Toni and I.”

“I have no idea where to even start and what do I do if it ruins our friendship? Is it worth it?” It was a conversation she should be having with Frank, but she kept finding herself avoiding it. “What exactly is going on with you and Toni? I can not keep up with that.”

“So you miss his yin and his yang. I see how it is.” She teased with a grin. “How’s that going by the way?”

“Something like that,” Alice laughed. “It’s the same as always. We’re good friends.”

“What? No, don’t feel sad.” He replied quickly, reaching out to take her hands. “And I absolutely will do that when the time comes but… I mean NEWTs are pretty important.”

“I don’t like missing you, and I don’t like you missing me, but it’s sweet that you do, and I’m happy to be with you now,” Alice explained. “You could always study with me. I’d love the company.”

“Aw, look at us.” She teased with a grin. “You sure your yang doesn’t miss Longbottom’s yin?”:

“Don’t ask questions you already know the answer to, Doe.”

“I miss you more than yin misses yang.”

@alicevfortescue

“What a coincidence. I miss you more than yang misses yin.”

“I miss you more than the Moon misses the night.”

@alicevfortescue

“I didn’t know I could feel sad and happy at the same time,” Alice mused, a quiet statement more to herself than him. “I miss you too. You have my permission to physically remove me from the library when I overdo it with studying again.”
