[/font][/size][/center][/i]ALICE ADAMS*
FULL NAME: Alice Michele Adams.
NICKNAMES: A, Allie, Al, Adams, Sugarblossom – Sirius only.
BIRTHDAY: 23 July, 1960.
AGE: Sixteen.
PLACE OF BIRTH: London, England.
YEAR: Sixth.
BLOOD: Muggleborn.
SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Heterosexual.
PARENTS: Alice’s father, Martin Adams, is 45 years old and a very successful doctor. Her mother, Janice Adams, is 41 and a stay at home mom.
SIBLINGS: Alice has one brother – Ambrose St. Claire, originally called Algernon Adams. Ambrose is four years older than Alice and is a famous rockstar in the muggle world.
SPOUSE: Current boyfriend – Sirius Black.
CHILDREN: Alice is the future mother of Neville Longbottom.
OTHER RELATIVES: None.
PLAYBY: Gemma Arterton.
WAND: 15 inches, rosewood, hair from the mane of a Kelpie.
BROOM: Cleansweep Three; Alice does not play Quidditch, but often uses her broom to fly outside of windows and spy on people – especially Professor Slughorn.
HOUSE: Gryffindor.
BEST SUBJECTS: Alice's best subject is Potions; this is not because she particularly enjoys it or even because she is skilled at it, it is simply because she is determined to impress Professor Slughorn, and so she works very, very hard at it. Potions, however, is the only subject she works this hard at. The rest of her classes she tends to do as little as she possibly can without jeopardizing her chances of becoming an auror. She is very good in Charms and it is her second favorite class - Potions being her first.
WORST SUBJECTS: Alice's worst subject is Herbology. This is the result of several factors, not the least of which that she doesn't like dirt and she doesn't like Professor Smith. More than that though, she's just bad at it. Any plant she touches dies. She has dropped the class this year. Her least favorite class is Divination. She thinks it's a load of crap and has no problem with saying this to Professor Nott's face - though she is still taking the class, because she's afraid he might lock her in the freezer if she doesn't.
AFFILIATION: Order supporter.
BEST MEMORY: The day she learned she was a witch.
WORST MEMORY: Missing a Potions class where Slughorn took his shirt off in her second year, because she fell out of a tree and broke her arm and the old nurse wouldn't let her leave after it was healed. She is since hell bent on getting Slughorn's shirt off in class.
PATRONUS: Alice cannot cast a patronus yet.
AMORTENTIA: Fresh ink, rubbing alcohol and roses.
BOGGART: A swarm of giant bugs.
HISTORY: ALICE, AS TOLD BY TONKS.[/font][/color]
Nudges make me go AHHHH.
O.
HELLO! This is totally Alice, talking about herself; I mean myself. This is definitely not somebody else writing for Alice, somebody like the amazingly awesome and splendiferous Tonks; because she is just far too creamy for that. See that title up there? Saying this is written by Tonks? Yeah, just ignore that. It’s a lie. Titles lie.
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
HA, army of semi-colons. Don’t mess with us.
The most important thing you should probably know about me is this: Tonks is my leader. No really, she owns my soul. I don’t know it yet, but it will happen. Tonks is working on it.
‘Tell me more about this wonderful Tonks!’ I hear you say?
Well, okay then!
Let’s see now. She is ridiculously modest. Ask anyone. She has the looks of a goddess, and the brains of a… smart person. Einstein! I hear he was quite the clever man. She is highly amusing, and quite the comedian! She even purposely falls over, and walks into people, and gets her head stuck in things; PURELY to make people laugh. Despite popular belief, there is not a clumsy bone in her body, it is all for your entertainment. And this is why I vote Tonks for Mayor. Give her cake, WOOHOO!
What do you mean this has nothing to do with me, Alice?
FINE. I will write about me, even though clearly everyone wants to hear more about the delight that is Tonks.
Hi, I’m Alice. Blah, blah blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. BLAHH!
I don’t sound like that!
That’s what you sound like to me.
Okay then. I have a mum and a dad. They’re a bit odd. My mum tries to fatten me up. Big breakfasts, and all that. Syrup with my eggs. I’m not quite sure what her game plan is yet… it could be she wants to eat me, but I’m just not podgy enough yet; or perhaps she just wants to get me in a fat camp. You know how they say parents try to live out their dreams through their children? Well my mum always wanted to go to fat camp, I’m sure. She has a cactus in her room to balance out the chives or something. What? Chi? What the hell is Chi? Anyway… one day, when she’s sleeping, Tonks is going to swap it for one with a nose. Let’s see what balance the room has then hahahahahaha.
My dad is a mystery. I don’t know much about him. Well of course I know lots about him… he’s my dad. Just Tonks doesn’t, and if Tonks doesn’t know it, then it’s not worth mentioning… does that even make sense? Do we even care?
So I found out I was a witch when I was eleven, like most muggle borns really; and though I say this was the happiest day of my life, it’s not related to Tonks so that’s all I’m saying on the matter.
The train journey to Hogwarts was dull, I hadn’t met Tonks at this point, see? I did meet her in my first year though, thank goodness; I always say, if I hadn’t met Tonks that fateful day; I wouldn’t be half the person I am today. We met in potions, we saw Slughorn, swooned and BAM. Friends Foreverr. I’ll never forget that day, not only the was it the day I met Tonks, but it was first time I’d seen Slughorn so close [I’d seen him at the Professor’s table in the great hall, but he was so far away.] and he licked some ingredient to tell us something or other about identifying it by taste, I don’t know, all I remember is his tongue… my god it was a nice tongue. And it still is. Other things I love about Slughorn:
- His perfect hair. [who ever said there’s no such thing as perfect was lying]
- His eyes.
His teeth.
His nose.
His sideburns.
His voice.
His kneecaps.
His shoulders.
His cheeks.
His torso.
His legs.
His arms.
His manly, hairy hands.
His fingers.
His thumbs.
His neck.
His collar bone.
His butt. [Why is this so low down on my list?]
His… other parts.
His facial expressions.
His humour.
His demeanour.
His intelligence.
His chest.
His clothes.
His forehead.
His elbows.
His ankles.
His dancing.
His dancing when he thinks no one is looking.
The way he eats.
His WOOHOO’s.
…. I want to carry on listing, because trust me, there is A LOT more I could list. But, dinner is ready and I’d hate to miss Slughorn eat…
Did I mention I hate Nurse Tyler? Because I do. She’s quite possibly worse than the last nurse we got fired… but that’s another story altogether.
…
BYE!
....WHAT? a SERIOUS bio? Why on earth would you want one of those? I think this one is perfect. Well, if you insist, you may see a serious bio here.
LIKES:
• PUNCTUATION
[/size] - There's something about punctuation that fascinates Alice. She loves all sorts of punctuation - semi-colons, brackets, parentheses, exclamation points, etc. The only punctuation Alice will ever confess to disliking is the period, because she thinks it’s boring.• PROFESSOR SLUGHORN[/size] - Alice has a lot of obsessions - David Bowie, mexican food and sweets, to name a few - but it's clear to anyone who speaks to her for more than five minutes that her biggest obsession is Professor Horace Slughorn - or Professor McSteamy, as she prefers to call him. Alice knows essentially everything there is to know about Slughorn and she all but stalks him during the school year - okay, well, actually, she does stalk him, but in the least creepy way possible. Actually, that's a lie, too. She's pretty creepy about it. But the point is, Horace Slughorn is Alice's favorite obsession.
• SPY MISSIONS[/size] - Alice likes to think of herself as a female James Bond. While this may be a bit of an overstatement of her spying skills, Alice is actually very good at spying on people. She doesn't generally spy on people just for snaps - except, of course, for Professor Slughorn - but she find lots of excuses to go on spy missions. Be it pulling a prank on Nurse Tyler or stealing a Slytherin's cupcakes, Alice is always looking for a reason to use her spy skills.
• THE FEMALE MARAUDERS[/size] - The Female Marauders are comprised of AMAZINGSAUCE Tonks, Krystal Hargreaves, THECUTESTGIRLEVA Morris and Alice herself. They consider themselves to be the Marauder's superiors in every way and though Sirius, James, Peter and Remus do not agree, the FM cannot be convinced that they are not better than them. They often refer to themselves as the FM or as Marauder's 2.0. Tonks, Krystal and THECUTESTGIRLEVA are Alice's bestfriends in the entire world and there is absolutely nothing she would not do for them.
• SIRIUS BLACK[/size] - Though he is a Marauder and therefore is inferior to the FM, Sirius Black is Alice's boyfriend. She often pretends that she isn't very attached to him and that she doesn't really care about their relationship, but the truth is Alice loves Sirius. She will never admit this, because she hates when people her age say they're in love, but it's the truth. The two of them have been together since their fourth year and, again, though Alice would never admit it, she really wouldn't be okay if she lost Sirius. [/right]
DISLIKES:
• SLYTHERINS
[/size] - There are few things Alice hates more than Slytherins. In her opinion, no good ever came from that house and she stopped looking for good in it long ago. She is always ready to insult a Slytherin and it's an exceptional day if she doesn't get into some kind of argument with someone from that house. The exception to this rule is Professor Slughorn, who was not only a Slytherin when he was in school, but is now head of Slytherin house. If anyone points out the hypocrisy of her loving Slughorn, but hating Slytherins, Alice simply says the sorting hat made a mistake with him.• OLIVIA DAVIS[/size] - Olivia Davis never liked Alice and as a result, Alice never liked Olivia Davis. Their rivalry began when they first met and continues to this day. It doesn't help that Olivia is a Slytherin and is also betrothed to Antonin Dolohov, another Slytherin who Alice detests. Alice happily considers Olivia her arch nemesis and it is almost impossible for the two to meet with out fighting. The only thing the two girls can ever agree on his how much they dislike Nurse Tyler.
• NURSE TYLER[/size] - The reason Alice hates Nurse Tyler is simple - Slughorn loves her. He may not say that, because he's too busy being bitter and angry, but it's obvious to everyone but Nurse Tyler that he does. Thus, Alice detests the Nurse and is always trying to get her in trouble by telling the Headmaster that Nurse Tyler called her a git or by attempting to prove that Nurse Tyler did, in fact, try to poison Tonks like Tonks said she did.
• HARD WORK[/size] - 'Lazy' doesn't even begin to explain Alice. Alice detests any activity that requires large amounts of energy. Anything harder than holding a pencil is too much. Though she has occasional bouts of energy, during which she will run around and dance and generally be incredibly annoying, most of the time Alice isn't even willing to move from a chair to get a bag of crisps. She is always asking people around her to fetch things for her and often enlists
• PROFESSOR GRIMMER[/size] - Alice's dislike of Professor Grimmer is simply out of loyalty. Professor Grimmer once dated Professor Wesley, and, because THECUTESTGIRLEVA adores Wesley, Grimmer is clearly the enemy. Much like she does with Nurse Tyler, Alice spreads rumors about Professor Grimmer, though she doesn't do this as often. As a general rule, she tries to only spread rumors about the flying instructor when THECUTESTGIRLEVA has just seen her chatting intimately with Wesley, or to cheer Lllian up when she is feeling down about something unrelated. [/right]
STRENGTHS:
• LEADERSHIP
[/size] - Alice is a natural leader. She is always taking control of situations, making plans, and just generally doing her best to stay in charge. She is genuinely awful at following other people and always ends up getting herself into trouble by trying to boss authorities around.• BRAVERY[/size] - Alice is a true gryffindor - courageous and bold. She will never back down from something simply because she is afraid.
• OUTSPOKEN[/size] - Always one to say what she thinks Alice can often be heard spouting her opinions on everything from death eaters to quidditch matches. She will never back down from an opinion just because someone else does not approve and expects that if you're going to challenge her opinions, you're going to back it up. If someone challenges Alice's beliefs on anything without backing their own opinions up, Alice will laugh in their face.
• SENSE OF HUMOR[/size] - Though slightly warped, Alice's sense of humor is one of her greatest assets. She is always making jokes and always trying to make other people laugh, though quite often she only succeeds at making herself laugh. [/right]
WEAKNESSES:
• GULLIBLE
[/size] - Alice is incredibly gullible. She will believe almost anything if it's said to her with a straight face and then she will insist that it is true if someone tries to correct it. In other words, if someone told her their uncle's pet pig had grown wings, Alice would believe them and continue to believe them until she had actually seen their uncle's wingless pet pig, even if other people tried to tell her it was not true.• NO FILTER[/size] - Alice is almost incapable of filtering her thoughts. Occasionally she will catch herself before she says something that would get her into trouble, but more often than not, if Alice thinks it, it comes out of her mouth.
• SHORT TEMPER[/size] - Alice is very, very easy to anger. The slightest rude remark about one of her friends or her family will set her off and an angry Alice is not a pretty thing. She may be small, but she is quite a force to be reckoned with when she's mad.[/right]
PERSONALITY: Alice is completely and totally shameless. It is impossible to embarrass her and she will do absolutely anything she feels like doing, no matter how outrageous it is, because she just doesn't care what others think. She's very intelligent, though this often doesn't show through and she is extremely loyal to those she loves. Alice is very creative and very, very dramatic. Alice is headstrong and courageous and will never back down from a challenge.
NAME/ALIAS:[/font] A.
AGE: 902.
EXPERIENCE: Four years.
HOW DID YOU FIND US?: I own this shit, yo.
Alice Adams was having a terrible day. It had started when she woke up late and missed breakfast. She’d been craving pancakes for a week, but she kept having to settle for waffles, because some first year kept pouring blueberry syrup all over the plate of pancakes, and there was nothing Alice hated more than blueberry syrup – well, actually, there was several things Alice hated more than blueberry syrup, but still, it was pretty high on the list. He’d promised to stop with the syrup when she threatened to lock him in a closet, so blueberry-free pancakes would have been guaranteed to her that morning, had she not failed to drag herself out of bed. But all that is beside the point; the point is, she’d been craving pancakes and this was the sixth morning she’d missed out on having them.
Normally waking up late wouldn’t have been a big deal. She could always sneak into the kitchens and get one of the house elves to make her something. But she’d signed up for far too many classes this year – the only classes she wasn’t taking were flying, arithmancy, and herbology – so she really didn’t have time between waking up and her first class to get down to the kitchens. So instead of spending a good half hour waking up and munching on delicious pancakes sans blueberry syrup, she’d had to rush through the castle to get to Charms on time and it was only when she got there she realized she’d forgotten to button her skirt properly, because she’d been too preoccupied with fixing her tie. Her skirt had promptly fallen down in the middle of charms class and Alice, furious with the traitorous article of clothing, had torn it off and thrown it across the classroom.
She would have been perfectly content to go skirtless for the rest of class had Professor Waldgrave not assigned her detention for that night and threatened to make it all week if she didn’t put her clothes on immediately. Apparently, half naked girls were not conducive to a good learning environment. And if all that wasn’t enough, she’d then accidentally cut her finger with the tip of her quill, and Waldgrave had sent her to the hospital wing, in spite of the fact that Alice made it very clear that Nurse Tyler was likely to poison her. And it definitely didn’t help that when she reached the hospital wing, Slughorn was there and looked like he was about to cry, and Nurse Tyler – the bitch – was stroking his hair and comforting him.
Yes, Alice Adams was having a terrible day. And it only got worse when, finger properly bandaged, she left the hospital wing only to have her best friend crash into her. Tonks had apparently been running through the halls, because Alice could think of no other reason why the force of her friend hitting her could ever be enough to knock the wind out of her and land her on her back – and that was exactly what it did.
For a moment, Alice’s vision blurred and she wondered how she’d gone from standing outside the hospital wing doors to laying on the floor a few feet away from them. But then she blinked a few times and her vision cleared and she was met with the face of AMAZINGSAUCE Tonks, only inches from her own. Tonks was panting slightly – this confirmed the running theory – and there was a look of panic mixed with amusement on her face. “Hello, A!” She said cheerfully, as if there was nothing odd about their current situation.
Actually, Alice realized, there really wasn’t anything odd about it. Tonks knocking her over wasn’t exactly a rare occurrence. In fact, knocking Alice over seemed to be one of Tonks’s favorite hobbies… Alice considered this for a moment before shaking her head and turning her attention back to her friend. “Hello, Tonks.” She answered, biting her lip slightly. “Mind getting off me?”
“I don’t know…” Tonks answered, her lips turned up in a cheeky grin. “You’re kind of comfy…” By now a crowd was gathering around the two of them where they were sprawled on the floor and Tonks looked up at them and waved casually. Alice was preparing to point above them and shout ‘ah, pigeons!’ in the hopes that this would startle Tonks enough to make her get off, but then a familiar voice reached her ears and a familiar figure pushed through the small crowd around them.
“Tonks,” THECUTESTGIRLEVA said, leaning over to grab Tonks’s hand and pull her up, “I sent you to fetch Alice, not to pin her in place.”
Tonks gave a little shrug as she dusted her robes. “Potay-to, potah-to…” She responded as THECUTESTGIRLEVA leaned down again, this time to help Alice up.
“Thank you, Lils.” Alice said as she straightened her skirt. “Now, why was Tonks fetching me?”
THECUTESTGIRLEVA opened her mouth to answer, but Tonks quickly cut in. “Well, I was out in the grounds, right?” She began , “And I was picking flowers for Slughorn, because I have Potions tomorrow, and I wanted to impress him. But I wasn’t sure if he’d prefer daisies or tulips and one can never be too careful when it comes to Slughorn.”
“Naturally.” Alice said seriously. “Did you consider a single rose? Slughorn always likes a nice rose…”
“I did think of that, but there’s really not a lot of rose bushes on the grounds.” Alice nodded at this and gestured for Tonks to continue. “Anyways,” Tonks went on, “I was just deciding on the tulips –“
“A wise choice.” Alice cut in.
“Thank you.” Tonks responded, before continuing without missing a beat, “And I was trying to decide between a yellow tulip and a pink one, when I heard Professor Robinson shrieking at a Black. Naturally, I hoped it was Narcissa, so I turned around to see and…”
“It was Sirius, wasn’t it?” Alice said dryly, seeing exactly where this was going. Tonks nodded. Alice let out a frustrated groan. She loved Sirius – there was no doubt about that, she really did. But sometimes – sometimes, she wanted to punch him in the eye for being such a bully. And maybe she wasn’t one to talk, because she had threatened her share of first years and dropped water balloons on her share of Slytherins, but she was always – and by always, she meant never – very discreet about it. Okay, maybe she was being kind of hypocritical for being annoyed with Sirius for bullying, but it was only because she knew that it was only going to give Amber more reason to insist that Alice shouldn’t be with him, and Alice really hated having to defend her relationship. And alright, maybe it also had a little to do with the fact that he was going to get into trouble and then he’d be in a bad mood and then he’d be unwilling to help her pull a prank on Nurse Tyler to get back at her for touching Slughorn’s hair and then she’d have to get Tonks’s help and Tonks would probably knock something over and then they’d get detention, too and –
“I heard he was defending Emily.” THECUTESTGIRLEVA and Tonks had been talking the whole time, but this was the first thing Alice actually heard.
She immediately perked up at this. If Sirius was defending Emily, then Amber couldn’t use this as a reason why Alice shouldn’t be with him and she wouldn’t have to argue with her friend. And also, she really liked it when he got all protective of the people he loved. “I’m sorry I missed it then.” She said dreamily, “He’s really quite attractive when he’s fired up…”
THECUTESTGIRLEVA and Tonks laughed at this; Alice just grinned, because they thought she was joking, but she totally wasn’t. Unfortunately, her brief moment of cheer was short lived, because at that very moment she saw Professor Robinson walking through the halls, followed by a rather annoyed looking McGonagall.
She really didn’t know why she did what she did next. Maybe she hoped she could overwhelm McGonagall with teacherly concern and then she’d forget about punishing Sirius. Or maybe she thought that stalling the professor would somehow get her boyfriend out of trouble. She really didn’t know what her reasoning was, all she knew was that one minute she was standing with THECUTESTGIRLEVA and Tonks and the next she was jumping in front of Robinson and McGonagall, waving her bandaged finger around and shouting, “PROFESSOR, I GOT A BOOBOO!”
There was a moment’s pause where both of the older women just stared at her and then McGonagall gave a quick, “That’s nice, dear.” and the two of them kept walking.
But now Alice was mildly offended, because the two professors were so unconcerned with her possibly very serious injury. So, in an effort to get their attention, she quickly fell to the floor and began moaning and groaning and shouting, “Oh, it hurts! It hurts! Nurse Tyler has poisoned me! It hurts!”
At this, McGonagall turned around and gazed at Alice reproachfully. “Honestly, Miss Adams. You are making a scene. Nurse Tyler is a very professional woman and I’m sure she would never do such a thing to a student – no matter how much trouble the student has caused her.” She said the last bit with a very meaningful look and Alice was sure this was where she meant to feel ashamed, but all she felt was vague annoyance that McGonagall was still not concerned about her booboo. “If you are really accusing Nurse Tyler of this, I suggest you speak to the headmaster. But keep in mind those are very serious accusations.”
Alice wondered for a moment who McGonagall thought she was talking to. Honestly, accusing someone of sexual abuse was very serious, but that hadn’t stopped her from trying to accuse Nott of touching her inappropriately to get out of trouble… For a moment, Alice was so caught up in her thoughts that she forgot about how offended she was by McGonagall’s ignoring her booboo – but then she realized that both of the professors had started to walk away and quickly returned to the matter at hand.
Not one to be ignored and always one to take drastic measures, Alice leapt to her feet, took a running start and, with a battle cry of, “STOP! MY BOOBOO HURTS!” She launched herself at McGonagall’s back, knocking the other woman over.
“Miss Adams!” McGonagall shouted as she got to her feet. “That’s it! Come with me to Professor Robinson’s office! Honestly, what is happening to the students of my house?”
Alice groaned as she began marching ahead of the professors. “I really didn’t think this plan out fully.” She muttered darkly to herself. The walk to Robinson’s office seemed to take ages. This was probably because Alice kept trying to get out of trouble by explaining that her booboo really did hurt, and Professor McGonagall kept telling her to be quiet. Several failed attempts to bribe the professor later and Alice found herself stepping into Robinson’s office, where Sirius, Emily and Nathan Connelly were all waiting. Sirius, who had previously been glowering at Nathan, glanced up when they walked in and raised one eyebrow at her. “Hey, honey.” She said, holding up her injured finger. “I got a booboo. But I don’t think Professor McGonagall cares. I think I’m going to have to talk to Dumbledear about this. I think teachers are supposed to care –“
“That’s quite enough, Miss Adams.” McGonagall said from behind her. “Sit down.”
Alice scowled, because she’d been about to explain that teachers are supposed to care about their students’ booboos, because it was their job to nurture students so that students could grow into big tall trees, or some other corny metaphoric bullshit like that. Still, she really didn’t want to get into anymore trouble, so she shut her mouth and took a seat beside Emily.
And then, as she took her seat, she really, properly looked at Emily. And really, properly looking at Emily made her brow furrow with worry. The other girl was simply staring forward, apparently unbothered by the fact that she could, potentially be in trouble. At least, Alice assumed she could be, because she was here after all… She felt like maybe she should try to comfort her friend – but she was really very bad at being comforting, so instead she settled for trying to make a joke. “Hey, Emily…” She stage-whispered, leaning sideways in her chair towards the blonde, “Don’t suppose you’ve got any fresh bandages? See, I’ve got this booboo, and Professor McGonagall doesn’t care…”
“Miss Adams!” Snapped a very frustrated McGonagall, “Another word and I will give you detention for a week, you understand?”
Yes, Alice Adams was having a terrible day.

IN OTHER WORDS - KEEP YOUR GRUBBY LITTLE PAWS OFF.
