Albus' Daughter Alice.

My body is just chilled now.

Alice lay in her well fitted dark blue silk nightgown under the red duvet as she allowed sleep to take her features and she slipped into a land she called sleep. It didn't last long though as she was rudely woken by Miriam shaking her. "Yes Miriam?" The black long hair was reflecting the moonlight and she felt her sleepy state slowly yet beautifully trying to claim her mind and body again. "Alice, Professor Dumbledore asked to see you in the teachers lounge. He gave me this to give to you in case Filch finds you. Apparently you know where it is." Silver locks bobbed as she climbed to her feet. The nightgown wasn't very covering but she figured her father wouldn't mind. The ground was cold so she slipped a pair of blue slippers. They could pass as shoes from a distance as the wool was slightly visible from close up. Her entire body became covered in goosebumps and she shivered slightly but figured that it would be fine.

The halls seemed to drop in temperature as she walked closer to the room that she had been asked to go to. Despite the shoe like slippers her toes were going numb and her lips began to turn blue. She was trying to be quick but had to stop when Filch started shouting. "Sir, Daddy gave me a pass. I am allowed out of bed to visit him." He stopped and scowled at the girl as he snatched the paper from her. "Fine for tonight." She nodded when he handed the parchment back as her hand timidly took the paper. Mrs Norris purred at her ankles as small fingers started running through her fur. "Anyway. I need to be else where." She nodded and began walking to the room again. She had wandered into a bathroom to see how pale she was but she knew that it wasn't possible to get any paler but her bright blue lips surprised her and she noticed her nails starting to do the same. Her steps were tiny as the cold was too much if her strides were too large. The wind made its way up her legs that shook violently with bumps all over them. The teachers area was on the other side of the castle so she was walking for too long according to her. Alice's heart sank when she felt an ache crawl up her body like her blood was freezing. Relief was felt when she finally managed to get to he door and push it open.

As she closed the large oak door she turned and went wide eyed as she was barely covered by the strapped nightwear and her lips vibrant blue alongside her blue nails. There sat ALL of the staff members excluding Filch. Poppy almost dropped her tea when the tiny figure shook violently in front of her. "My dear. You look positively frozen." Silver locks moved in a nod as a potion was placed in her hand as well as two thick cloaks that smelt of the transfiguration professor and her perfume, the second smelt of the infirmary as well as Poppy's scent. Alice drank the potion and felt warmth spread throughout her body and she thanked the pair who had rushed to her side. Hands regularly rubbed her arms to try warm them up and hope that her lips would stop being blue at all. The cloaks were buttoned up and wrapped around her to prevent anymore heat from being lost. Rolanda had also approached and her cloak was buttoned and wrapped around her. Albus had approached the girl and given her a warming hug. "I am so sorry but my legs are a little tied up." The adults almost all laughed at the statement and she found herself being picked up by her father.

"How was your first day?" She pondered it as she buried herself into his neck and beard. "Very good. I have learnt a lot but also had a lot of homework. I completed it all tonight though." Almost all of those who had handed out homework were pleasantly proud. "That is if you weren't falling asleep." A deep voice drawled out. Her face went a shade of pink as she tried to hide from them all. "I was tired." She defended and he just sharpened his look at her. Even through the silver covering, his eyes could meet hers with his lips also visibly placed into a scowl. "Not acceptable." He huffed out and Sybill made it all worse. "You were wide awake in my final lesson if the day." Mentally she cursed the woman but kept it to herself. "I was enjoying the lesson. Aside from the death and destruction aspect though I suppose that is... Not that I don't enjoy potions, it is one of my favourite subjects." He grumbled and huffed but soon the adults all started their own discussions individually.

It wasn't until Filius tried to talk to the small girl that her sleep was even noticed as her unconscious mind prevented any answer from being given. "Ali, I suppose that..." He saw her closed eyes and resting body and stopped but she seemed to hear her name and stir awake. "Yes sir?" He took this chance to ask the question again. "I supposed that you managed to do the spell that I taught today." She nodded and pulled a tired hand from in the cloaks. A stunning wand was seen and a few marvelled at the beauty. "Wingardium Leviosa" her mouth uttered and the top piece of paper lifted from a large stack. "A smart one this one." Charity commented from the corner of the room. "I didn't realise that you normally taught them this spell till next month or so." He nodded at Charity admitting that she was smart and also replying to Pomona "started early this year." Her hand was already pulled into her cloak but Minerva wasn't done. "Alice. Have you tried the one from my class also?" Her silver locks nodded and she pulled her wand and hand out. Minerva had placed a match on the table but in her tired state she forgot to speak the spell that she was supposed to and instead she just waved her wand in accordance to her teachings. To the complete surprise of everyone else she had done it with no words. A needle was placed in front of her rather than the expected match. "Albus?" One spoke but he stopped them. "She is tired so we should let her sleep. I do believe Severus does not wish for a repeat of today."

After an hour she woke and left the comfort of the cloaks wrapped around her and handed them to the owners. "I would like to head back." They nodded but Poppy walked with her. "Maw! I will be fine." She rubbed sleep from her eyes and Poppy huffed. "Ali. You are frozen." The cloak was placed on her shoulders as they walked to the common room. "Thanks Maw." The older witch had a kiss placed on her cheek before she waved the girl into her room. "Goodnight love." She nodded obviously already loosing her grip on reality and slipping into a very deep slumber where she lovingly dreamt of the boy who lived.
