Girl Talk
Lily was very wrong about Mrs Longbottom getting bored, as Alice had told her just after Alice and Frank were engaged, Mrs Longbottom's favourite hobby was bossing everybody around and she NEVER got tired of it EVER!
Once, Alive got so tired of Mrs Longbottom rummaging through her suitcase she said: "Honestly, don't you trust me."
"No." Came the muffled reply.
Alice stormed off into Sirius's room, (the baby's future room). "I hate her!" she shouted. "I really, really hate her!"
Sirius who was trying to get some sleep opened his eyes and stretched his arms and yawned. "Go complain where I can't hear you."
Alice was very tempted wrap her hands around his neck and choke him. "Shut up, Sirius. I'll complain where I like, thank you very much." She said even though she had nothing to say thank you for.
Sirius sat and used his pillow as a backrest. "Do you want me to get rid of her?"
"YES!!!!!" Alice shrieked and she put her arms around him.
"Well, too bad, because I'm not doing it!" Alice immediately let go of Sirius.
"What do you mean you're not doing it?! Of course you're doing it! You have to get rid of her!" she said sounding very desperate.
"Why should I? All you've been is mean to me," replied Sirius.
Alice gave Sirius a hug, "I'm sorry, Sirius. I guess I was cross at Frank so I took it out on you."
"Do you really mean that?" Sirius asked.
"No," Alice stopped hugging Sirius. "Please help me get rid of her! She'll make your life a living hell too!"
"Really?" Sirius asked.
"Yes, really," Alice cracked her knuckles.
"You really shouldn't do that," advised Sirius.
"And since when have you been the expert on health?" Alice folded her arms in anger. "I don't think riding a flying motorbike is very safe."
"I was just saying you might break your knuckles," muttered Sirius.
"And you might break your neck!" shouted Alice. "Sorry, Sirius. It's these damn hormones; I'm beginning to sound like Pippa."
"Who the hell's Pippa?" Sirius asked rudely.
"Pippa is my Mother-in-law," replied Alice.
"Well, she has a very… unique name," commented Sirius. "Is it short for anything?"
"No," replied Alice, "She tried telling everyone that it was short for Penelope, but I've seen her birth certificate!"
Flashback (only in Alice's mind, though!)
"Ouch!" muttered Alice, she had done the stupid mistake again of hitting her head on the ceiling of the eves in Frank's house. It was very dark and dusty in the eves and there was loads of junk in the eves. She brought a torch because she knew that the light bulb had burnt out. She smelt something quite unpleasant and she wrinkled her nose.
Alice was trying to find a suitcase, which contained a load of photo albums; Mrs Longbottom asked if she and Frank could go get it for her. Her Mother-in-law to be seemed all right but seemed to be a bit bossy but it just had to be first impressions; Frank told Alice that they'd get along brilliantly and she believed him. He also told her that his Mother had already seen her before and he suggested that Alice should put something smart on.
"Ouch!" Alice repeated she had banged her head on the low ceiling above her again! This time dust landed on her head. Alice growled and tried brushing some of it off clumsily with her hands.
"Hey, how are you doing in there?" Frank asked warmly.
"Not very well," Alice answered trying to hide the suppressed anger in her voice.
"I'll come in and help you," offered Frank.
"You were meant to do that anyway," she responded coldly.
"Do you want me to come in or will you just bite my head off. You're not usually like this at all," Frank pointed out.
"I know, I guess I'm just a bit tense with meeting your Mum and all," explained Alice.
"Riiiight," said Frank sarcastically.
"OK, I'm stressed about the wedding, happy?" Alice confessed.
"Very," replied Frank.
"So, are you going to help or what?" Alice asked.
"Or what," Frank answered; a shoe was thrown at him. "Hey!"
"You come in here right now Frank Joshua Longbottom, or I'll make your life a living hell once I get out of these eves," commanded Alice.
"You sound my Mother," commented Frank.
"Good," responded Alice.
"It won't be good when we have kids," said Frank.
"Who says we're going to have kids?" Alice demanded.
"My Mum will once we're married," replied Frank.
"Your Mother can't control our sex life, Frank," informed Alice.
"Yes, she can," argued Frank.
"Just come in here and help me find this Goddamned suitcase!" bellowed Alice.
Eventually, Frank Alice found the suitcase. It was very dusty and brown and battered. They went down the stairs and gave Mrs Longbottom the leather suitcase. Mrs Longbottom settled the suitcase on the glass table and opened it. "I still don't know why we couldn't have used the 'accio' spell," Alice muttered under her breath. Mrs Longbottom gasped and tried to close the suitcase immediately but what caught Alice's eye immediately was the name part of Mrs Longbottom's birth certificate, it read: Pippa Crosse. "I thought you said your name was Penelope?" Alice asked.
"Um," Mrs Longbottom began, (or should it be Pippa?) "Oops."
Back to reality (unfortunately)
"Hello…?" said Sirius waving his hands in front of Alice's eyes. "Hello…?"
Alice blinked and spoke, "Oh, sorry, I guess I just wondered off into my own world just there."
"Yes, I guess you did," replied Sirius dryly.
There was a moment of silence to the heavily pregnant woman and the amingus.
"So? Are you going to help me get rid of her or what?" Sirius didn't give her one of his famous grins that… was not a good sign. "Please?"
"Fine," Sirius gave in. Alice did a dance of happiness but was instantly stopped by Sirius. "On one condition."
"What's that?" Alice asked.
"You never do that dance again," Sirius shuddered at the very memory of it.

Alice got dressed into a clean pair of black robes and went into Lily's room. Lily was sitting on her bed reading.
"Hey!" greeted Lily and motioned Alice to sit on the double bed with her. "Come in, come in, I have to talk with you."
Alice's face paled, when they were both at Hogwarts every time they "had a talk" one of them usually ended up crying, it was usually Alice. "OK."
"So?" Lily began closing her book, which looked heavier than a brick. "What did you want to talk to me about?"
"Didn't you want to talk to me about something?" Alice asked.
"Oh yeah," Lily said.
"Sorry," Alice replied plainly.
"What on Earth are you sorry for?" Lily demanded.
"For giving you my habit of forgetting things," Alice responded as though it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Don't be," Lily was used for Alice to be sorry for some things that weren't her and not sorry for things which were her fault.
About an hour later Lily and Alice were talking like the old friends they used to be, obviously a few months without seeing each other hadn't spoilt their friendship one bit. "Hold on!" they said together, "Wait! Stop!" They burst out laughing.
"So seriously now," started Alice. "Who is going to look after your little kid if you… you know… die," she whispered the last word.
"Why did you say the word "die" as if it was a swear word?" Alice grabbed hold a very scruffy brown teddy bear which appeared to have lost a lot of its fur and stuffing.
"Mr Little Ted does not want to hear of such things," she covered its half-shattered ears with her hands. "I can't believe you still have this!"
"I'm terrible aren't I?" Lily asked pretending to feel ashamed.
"I remember when I came over to your house in the second year summer holidays and Petunia and her friends held it hostage," said Alice. Lily looked as though she was about to burst with anger. "Oh, did I say something wrong?"
"No, but I fooled you!" Lily burst out laughing.
"I hate her," Alice said.
"Hate who?" Lily asked, "I'm allowed to hate Petunia but you're not!"
"I'm talking about my Mother-in-law," informed Alice. "I even asked Sirius to help me get rid of her."
"And?"
"And he said yes," replied Alice.
CRASH! Something that sounded delicate had just been smashed. Lily looked as though she was about to cry.
