CHARACTER LOGS
Towards the beginning, Alice gave updates on potential Death Eaters, Dark wizards and witches that the Auror Department had been after/keeping an eye on since the last meeting. This is one of those things that falls under shades of gray and what could potentially become an identity crisis for her. Her job as an Auror says that she should turn in the entirety of the Order without fall, confess her own doings with them, and accept the consequences.
But there is Neville and Frank and Tyler. There is the prophecy. There is the fact that while the Aurors are legally able to use the Unforgivables, their hands are slowly being tied with what they can and cannot do, thanks to the politics that permeates her job. Holding the hand of her husband underneath the table, she allows a second of shock to overcome her face before shoving it away at the introduction of Regulus Black. She feels as James does, that Dumbledore should have checked with the Order as a whole about bringing in Regulus before actually doing it.
The introduction of the locket Horcrux has Alice exchanging a look of surprised confusion with Frank, who looks exasperated, at the fact that a.) Dumbledore hasn't taken it from Regulus, b.) it hasn't been destroyed, c.) that the Potters haven't been made aware of this since they also are greatly involved with this, thanks to the Prophecy. Both of the Longbottoms are aware of what constitutes a Horcrux. Alice keeps her mouth shut until the end of the meeting when it's just the Longbottoms and Albus and then she explodes at him. She is upset over the fact that Dumbledore had been hiding two very important details but the larger aspect is Alice getting rid of her frustrations and anger over everything going on in her life as a whole.
Frank and Alice end up going out of the room where the meeting was held to see who was left to see if they needed to talk to anyone there before going home.
