Once again, I do not own Harry Potter okay? Before I give a note pertaining to the story, I have a few things to say: I am getting pissed on how people keep abusing the anonymous reviews I have enabled. I want something pertaining to the story, not cussing me out because I frequent The Fireplace Alliance forum or some random spam for a role play site nearly every time I update. I know not to expect praise from every review but spam is pissing me off! Hell, I am getting to the point where a flame pertaining to the story would make me happy! Okay enough with the rant, I would like to thank Last of the Trifecta for suggesting Alice and Frank Longbottom. Enough with this long ass rant A/N, on with the fic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Frank looked down at the box in his hand. He sighed as he looked around the break room at the Auror department of the Ministry of Magic. She was his partner and they worked well together. However, they were more than partners and friends. She was the most talented person he knew and was well aware of the danger they were in. In fact Frank remembered it was her that asked him out on their first date. He knew that she sometimes joked about popping the question herself at times as well. He sat sipping his butterbeer looking at his watch and wondering when his partner and lover Alice would show up and grace his day with her lovely presence. The clock struck noon as Frank took another sip and sighed. "She's running a little late…"
"Frankie my dear?" Alice asked as she peeked into the room. She had some forms for her case she was assigned in her hands but other than that, she was rather empty-handed; very much unlike her. Normally she was stacked full of books and materials to catch the Dark wizard they were assigned. "You said you had something important you wanted to talk to me about?"
"Yeah Ali… I… ummmm…" Frank said as he turned the little box in his hands around and around wondering what would be the right words to say to the woman he loved more than anything in his life.
"Yeah? You what Frankie?" Alice said looking intently on the look on Frank's face knowing he was about to say something really important. She then smiled and giggled.
"What?" Frank said slightly indignantly. "What is so funny? I have something really important to tell you and I find it rather annoying you are laughing at me!"
"Well I can tell it is pertaining to us as a couple because if you had a lead on Bellatrix Lestrange, you wouldn't be fumbling around with your hands as much as you are now. You were always right on straight forward about our work but when it came to matters of your heart Frank, you were always somewhat of a klutz." Alice giggled.
"You know so much about me Ali dear, it's not funny." Frank said.
"In the Auror business, I have to. Heaven knows someone may try to impersonate you. I mean we are after some of Voldemort's top Death Eaters. I just really pity whoever has Lucius Malfoy." Alice said.
"Why do you pity them?" Frank asked.
"Because he is a slippery eel that one... "Alice said. "Anyway, what do you have in your hand there?" she asked as she reached over and tried to grab what Frank was hiding.
"Nothing! I don't have anything! You got to be kidding me! I just have some tea here!" Frank yelled as Alice reached over and grabbed his hand. She moved his hand aside and saw a small blue box.
"You don't like tea that much Frank, I know you too well! What do you have in here? Something of the Lestrange's? What? What?" Alice said as she wrenched the box from Frank's grip and reached to open the box. "What is this...?" She asked as she started to open the box.
"A spoiled surprise." Frank sighed as he tapped his fingers against the table.
"What do you mean a spoiled surprise…?" Alice asked as she opened the box. She took a good long look at his mother's ring in the old blue box and gasped. Alice then looked over to Frank and smiled. "Was this supposed to be a surprise for me?"
"It was. I guess you spoiled it." Frank giggled while he was slightly disappointed.
"Well why don't you go with the rest of the surprise as if I never spoiled it." Alice said. "I want to hear how you planned this out. Knowing you Frank, you planned it to the t. That's why we're partners."
"Okay, here goes. Alice, I have been thinking about us for a long time now. I know we are partners as Aurors but I also know we are more than that. We are partners in life and I want to spend every waking moment I can with you. In sickness and health, in madness and sanity, I want to be with you forever and ever. You are the light of my days and what I look forward to each time I go to work. Catching Dark wizards would not be the same if you were not with me. If you were not with me, I don't know what I would do. If I was to spend the rest of my life as the world's greatest Auror but have to be away from you, I don't know what I would do. So I guess what I am trying to ask you Alice is that…" Frank took a gulp and sighed. This was the hardest sentence he would ever have to say. "Is that… Will you marry me?"
Alice looked around and stepped back. She then looked down at the ring and smiled. So this is what he was being all secretive about. I guess it is better than catching Bellatrix Lestrange and Voldemort in bed together with their pants down. Alice looked at the ring, pulled it out of the box and slipped it on her finger. "Yes Frank Longbottom, I will marry you."
"Great!" Frank yelled as he hugged her. "I will tell my mother right away! She can make all of the arrangements necessary."
"Great!" Alice said as she kissed Frank. "You do know you can be a bit of a Mamma's Boy at times."
"Well… Mother is quite a powerful woman." Frank said. "And she is well connected. She can get everything we need. I also talked to Dumbledore and after Lily and James got married, he assured us that we could as well. He said he would put the same enchantments on our wedding as he did on theirs. We will be safe as can be."
"I guess a Mamma's Boy Auror like you can be quite helpful at times." Alice giggled. "Well I am so glad we are going to spend the rest of our lives together." She said as she kissed Frank on the cheek and smiled. "I have to now get a dress and get some arrangements done." She said as she hugged him and looked at the clock. "We should be getting back to work here. The boss is on us big time for us to get Bellatrix Lestrange."
"Okay. I love you Alice, my new fiancée" Frank said as he looked down at all the reports of Bellatrix's last locations.
"I love you too Frankie dear." Alice said as she kissed him and looked at a bridal magazine she snuck in. I had a feeling you would ask me today… She looked at the magazine and smiled. "I have to get this dress…"
"What did you say honey?" Frank asked.
"Ummmmm…. Nothing…" Alice said as she marked the page and looked at Bellatrix's files.
(A few months later…)
The big day had finally come, the day that Frank Longbottom was going to marry the woman of his dreams. Alice had said she was preparing for months now when it came to the wedding. He was looking at his mother with nervousness. It was a big thing for him and he needed some of the strong advice of his mother. I don't care if I am seen as a Mamma's Boy for asking for advice from my mother but who cares. I need some of her advice now. Frank then turned to his mother and sighed, knowing he needed to break down and ask for advice now. As he turned to try and look for her, his mother came in to the room to find him.
"You're nervous aren't you, Frank?" His mother said.
"How is it you and Ali can read my mind so well?" Frank asked of his mother.
"Well, I am your mother for one and I think Alice can do it because she is trained for it for one and she is marrying you. Women can read their men so well. You know how well I could have read your father?" His mother said.
"I know. I'm just nervous." Frank said.
"Well don't be. You and Alice will be fine together. I know it." Mrs. Longbottom said. "I only wish your father lived to see this day. At least he saw you become an Auror. Good job Frank."
"Thank you mother." Frank said. "I feel so much better now."
"Great. Now we are going to have this wedding begin." Mrs. Longbottom said as she motioned for the wedding march to begin and Frank walked down the isle as James Potter stood ready to be the best man for Frank. He walked down the isle as the wedding march played and he approached the altar.
"Don't worry mate, you'll be fine. Lily and I are." James whispered.
As soon as Frank approached the altar, the wedding march played again and Alice began to walk up the isle once again in a beautiful white dress that was tapered in the back and shaped like a heart in the front and had a gossamer veil that looked a lot like the one in the magazine she said she wanted months ago when Frank proposed. He gulped and smiled. Behind her Lily Potter in a red dress walked up the isle behind Alice. Alice turned around and smiled at Frank. "You look handsome." She smiled.
"You look beautiful." Frank said smiling at her. With this, they turned to the minister as he coughed for the wedding to begin.
"Okay." The minster smiled. "Frank John Longbottom take Alice Melissa Bellity to be your wife, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, richer or poorer, for better or for worse till death do you part?"
"I do." Frank said as he looked into her eyes.
"Okay." The minster then turned to Alice. "Do you Alice Melissa Bellity take Frank John Longbottom to be your husband, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, richer or poorer, for better or for worse till death do you part?"
"I do." Alice said looking into his eyes.
"Okay. Place the ring on her left hand." The minister said. James then tossed Frank the ring. He fumbled with it for a little bit as James giggled a little bit.
"For an Auror, you sure can be clumsy." James laughed.
"Oh shut up." Frank said as he placed the ring on Alice's left hand.
"I now pronounce you bonded for life." The minister said as a shower of golden stars fell on them both. "You may kiss the bride." With this, Frank took Alice in his arms and kissed her.
"May I present to you Mr. and Mrs. Frank and Alice Longbottom." The Minster said as they smiled.
Well how was that? I am working on chapter 8 now and once again, suggestions are welcomed. I may even branch out into yaoi and yuri, slash and femmslash. (As a writer I want a challenge) Just suggest a pairing and I will do it. (Although you suggest to me HarryxVoldemort or DumbledorexHarry or VoldermortxDumbledore, those are NOs. Voldemort anyone except Bellatrix, those are NOs.) Remember to read, well you just did, and review and suggest pairings. Cannon or not. I mean as we all know cannon can get boring in the world of fanfiction. Also remember, NO FUCKING SPAM!!!!!! I AM TIRED OF SPAM!!!!!!!! Anyway, Ciao for now,
