Alice Augusta Longbottom

Hannah had her first child in hers and Neville's private rooms above the Leaky Cauldron. Hannah had always hated hospitals, and though it may have displeased the inn guests, she was intent on having the child at home. The name was easy to choose. There was no mistaking the beautifully shaped nose and chin, so recognizable.

Neville was all thumbs and nerves as he held his daughter for the first time. When Hannah suggested the name he'd thought of, but kept in the back of his mind, he burst into tears. Yes, it was perfect for their little Gryffindor. Alice.
