#with Alfie’s magic seemingly having a defensive focus and him coming from a line of well known wizards like El with her mum

[hyperfixations-and-hecticness]

Alfie and El are secretly besties and you can’t change my mind. Like outside of the obvious Aadhya, Liu, Liesel, Chloe, Orion, Jowani, and Nkoyo circle, he’s maybe the closest to her other than Ibrahim and possibly Yaakov. Like he was so chill about the possibility of ending up in a poly relationship with her and Liesel. Just like ‘hmm wonder if Liesel has succeeded in her seduction tactics’ when he went upstairs. Or him offering her comfort about Orion? They’re besties your honour.

#i apologise for the spelling mistakes I probably made #but like I love their little friendship #it’s so silly i love it #like el has genuine respect for alfie #you see it so much in the end of book 2 #when she talks about Alfie’s determination to hold the party line #and like they’re such nice foils of each other too #with Alfie’s magic seemingly having a defensive focus and him coming from a line of well known wizards like El with her mum #but Alfie is obviously an enclave kid who benefits profusely from this imbalance of power #but like Chloe he still wants to change things #and while his grandad built the Scholomance he helps El destroy it #and El even helps then construct the newish one #galadriel higgins #el higgins #the scholomance #naomi novik
