Alice tried her best to not be an overprotective mother. But when your son somehow defeats the most powerful Dark wizard of all time and seemed to attract all sorts of (unwanted) attention while at Hogwarts, you tended to keep a closer eye on him than one might normally would. Alice was so happy when Neville announced that he was taking the position at Hart's rather than training to be an Auror. Her little boy had been in enough danger for two lifetimes and Alice knew all too well what could happen if he became a full fledged Auror. Not that she would have been disappointed if he chose that path. Just even more worried over him.
All that being said, her walking into Hart's Herbology shoppe had nothing to do with any of that. She had been in Godric's Hollow following up on a lead that turned into a bust and she didn't feel like going back to the department quite yet. So deciding to see if Neville was available for lunch, Alice turned her feet towards the direction of the shoppe.
Giving a 'hullo' to the person at the register, she asked if Neville was available and waited at the counter as the girl said she would go check.
