Find your tribe in a Sea of Creativity
I was scrolling - as you do - and saw someone posting their headcanons for different marauders characters and I saw that they add some underrated characters (Alice, Frank, Bellatrix, Rita ect)
And now I feel like an asshole cause I kinda forgot about them.. so none of them have been added to my headcanon posts.. so imma add them now cause I feel bad
Literally all and any character from the Marauders era after they loss another person.
James Potter spends his day having breakfast with his lovely parents and they watch their favourite show together and have fun and look through all photos and they had sm fun thinking about the past and talking about the future. Then Marlene and Peter come and visit James and his parents and they talk about them childhood and their favourite memories. Marls and Pete give James his birthday present, its a collage filled of photos, glitter and stickers and filled with little notes and written backstory of what happened in each photo. Everyone cries because it’s so cute and it’s a lovely present. Then James goes off with Pete, while Marls goes off to do something “urgent”, to see Remus and Sirius. James, Remus, Sirius and Pete go to a lovely cafe and they get coffee and tea and they talk about everything and anything, they have fun and have loads of laughs, then Sirius brings out their present which us a box, colourfully decorated and inside is James’ favourite sweets, photos of James with the others, in his deer form and by himself and his favourite muggle bands and sports teams. Then they put a bandana over James’ eyes and then bring him somewhere.
When they take his bandana off his eyes he sees, all his friends (Sirius, Remus, Pete, Marls, Lils, Reg, Frank, Alice, Barty, Pandora ect ect.) and they all around a decorated beach house covered in fairy light and laughter. James partys, drinks, drags everyone to the dance floor, dances, laughs, jokes, blows out his candles and wishes everyone and everything would stay this happy forever.
sirius black- 5'10". has to stand on his tiptoes to kiss remus but is tall enough to make fun of james for being small
remus lupin- 6'6" and always hits his head in doorframes
james potter- 5'6". short king. he is slightly taller than peter but he looks taller than he is because he's well built. never in his life lied about his height. sirius always makes fun of him and he makes fun of himself too
peter pettigrew- 5'5" but brags that he is only one inch shorter than james
lily evans- 5'8", love me some tall gf & short bf
mary macdonald- 5'5", is actually average height
dorcas meadowes- 6'1" and always makes fun of their shorter friends
marlene mckinnon- 4'11", no objections. small but fierce and will kick you in the shin if you make fun of how short she is
frank longbottom- 5'8", is also average heighted and enjoys it because he can both reach the top shelf and he doesn't hit his head in everything
alice fortescue - 5'4" (aka my height)
Ok, my brain just went (aka like weeks ago) that Remus Lupin, while still being an incredible half blood, should be related to like every or some pureblood families.
Remus’ grandfather married a Prince
They had four kids
Lyall, Euphemia, Gomeisa and Augusta
Lyall marries a muggle woman
Euphemia marries a Potter
Gomeisa marries a Malfoy
Augusta marries a Longbottom
(Also, in this I picture, Remus is attending Hogwarts' younger like Barty may or may not have done, so instead, he's like a year or two younger.)
So, James, Lucius, Frank, Remus, and Severus are all related.
Before Lucius attends Hogwarts, Remus would spend all his time at Malfoy manor because Lyall wanted nothing to do with Remus after the bite, and Lucius forced his parents to take him in. So when Lucius started attending Hogwarts, Remus could only spend the holidays at the Malfoys. And because of how Lyall was treating Remus during the time between breaks, Dumbledore took pity on Remus and sent him to Hogwarts a couple years early.
James and Frank/ Euphemia and Augusta had no idea Remus existed since they had cut off contact with Lyall because of his world views. It wasn't until they heard his name being called that James and Frank looked at each other and went holy shit. (Because he spent the train ride with Lucius)
Remus, at first, really tried to have a good relationship with Snape, and so did James, but Severus wouldn't stop insulting Remus about his appearance and his subdued personality. James and Frank put their foot down because they couldn't bear to see Remus hurt.
When they found out about him being a werewolf and Lucius told them about how when he was with Lyall, Remus spent most of his time locked up in a silver cage. When it got back to Euphemia, she absolutely lost her shit at Lyall and took custody of Remus when they were in their 4th year.
That same year (4th year, Lucius' 7th year), Lucius had chosen to stick with his family for the war and told Remus over owl that he was no longer welcome at the Malfoys. Lucius hated having to do this because he genuinely loved Remus, and considered himself his big brother, but this disconnection from Remus soured Lucius' personality, and he was slowly turned into the person he is today.
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

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’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
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
