Alice Fortescue Longbottom

Early Years (1960-1971)
Alice B. Fortescue was born in early 1960 to Mr. and Mrs. Fortescue, at Saint Mungo's.

She is the only lactose intolerant member of the Fortescue family, famous for their gourmet ice cream shop in Diagon Alley.

She spent much of her time as a child caring for the cows they kept behind the shop, and was often made fun of by the Marauders for it, as they referred to every time Alice spoke about problems as "mooing softly".

She was Sorted into Gryffindor House in September of 1971 along with James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew, Lily Evans, Emmeline Vance and Mary MacDonald.

Hogwarts Years (1971-1978)
Alice was very good at Potions, when in school, perhaps due to her ability to follow recipes well, and was often paired with Lily Evans for assignments. She was very close to the other girls in her dormitory-- Lily Evans, Emmeline Vance and Mary MacDonald-- as well as one of the older students, Marlene McKinnon.

Alice began dating Frank Longbottom sometime during her fourth year (1974-1975) of Hogwarts. He asked her to the Gryffindor Quidditch Team afterparty by enchanting a plant to form the letters of the phrase "Alice, go out with me?" with its leaves.

Alice, along with her classmates, graduated from Hogwarts in June of 1978.

First Wizarding War (1978-1981)
After graduating from school in June of 1978, Alice, along with the other students in his year, joined the Order of the Phoenix, run by Albus Dumbledore.

Alice married Frank in the spring of 1979.

After the Prophecy made in 1980, Frank and Alice went into hiding, as a result of the direct threat Lord Voldemort and the Death Eaters posed to their lives and the life of their child. In July 1980, Alice gave birth to their only son, Neville Marlon Longbottom, named for Alice's best friend Marlene McKinnon.

In mid December of 1981, about two and a half months after the end of the First Wizarding War, Longbottom Lodge was attacked by Bellatrix Lestrange, Rodolphus Lestrange and Barty Crouch Junior. Frank and Alice, both prominent Aurors, were tortured for information on Voldemort's whereabouts. Thankfully, the attack was interrupted by members of the Order of the Phoenix and Frank and Alice were pronounced perfectly healthy after a short stay in Saint Mungo's.

Post War Years (1981-?)
Alice continued living in Longbottom Lodge with her husband and son and they often spent holidays with the Potters.
