WHO: Alice and Frank Longbottom
WHAT: An after curfew raid of the kitchens.
WHERE: The Kitchens
WHEN: January 22, lateeeee
WHY: because they can, Alice can't sleep, and just to be twins!
RATING: TBD My guess is PG-ish?
STATUS: Incomplete/Closed

Quite honestly, there was nothing wrong. Nothing was weighing on the small blond's mind, and nothing had upset her recently. In fact, Alice was rather pleased with the way things were going. She had her family, her friends, a good Quidditch game, and plenty of time to study before N.E.W.T's came around. There was no logical reason why she couldn't sleep, except perhaps that she was hyper. She slipped out of bed, giving up on trying to doze off. Maybe she could just talk with Frank. He might be having the same problem she was with sleeping.

She was careful not to wake her dormmates as she went down into the commons, finding it desolate. It took her only a few moments to write out a short note to Frank, 'I can't sleep. Come to the kitchens with me? -Ali' She attached it to the leg of her Father's owl, and told her to take it to Frank. Hopefully he would be meeting her in the corridor outside her commons in a few minutes.

After staring into the dimming embers of the fire for a long few minutes, she headed to the exit. It would have logically been just enough time for him to get the note and almost get to the tower. This was not the first time that it had happened, and she didn't think it would be the last. They had it down nearly to an art, the timing of their meeting.

The way the twins worked was like any other set of close twins. Although obviously they weren't identical, they were more alike than most. And the parts that were different countered each other. There was always an unspoken understanding between the two. Frank always made sure that Alice agreed with everything he did, and he supported her in all that she did as well.

And God forbid it when she got a boyfriend. Frank was happy with her being single at the moment (as stereotypical as that was for him to say) because he didn't want to have to worry about her all the time. Because it was just natural for him, to worry about her.

"Sounds fantastical," he said with a grin, heading towards the staircase leading to the kitchens. "Sweets are always the answer to a sleepless night," he said with a grin, although they both knew that they were going to be up all night.

Even though they were fraternal, things seemed to be consistently mirrored at least in personalities and a few physical traits. Alice had always enjoyed the bond she shared with him. She felt more in tune to him than anyone else. It was almost as if she had a built in radar that told her when something was off with her beloved brother.

Alice knew that one day she would have a relationship and it would probably drive Frank insane. She wouldn't doubt if he worried even after she was married one day. She thought she would be the same way, and in some ways she did worry, but Darcy had always been her friend, so it was slightly easier to accept. She didn't think Darcy would ever hurt Frank.

At the word 'fantastical', Alice laughed, the sound bouncing off the walls, though it didn't seem to alert anyone to their presence. It was such a perfect word, "Yes, they are. Though, they don't really help the sleeping delima any. We're going to need all of the sugar we can get to not sleep in classes tomorrow though," she didn't sound opposed to the idea at all, but rather pleased. Having that long with just Frank was worth staying up the entire night for.
