Introduction

Summer, Pre-7th Year

She woke up in the morning and rubbed her eyes. Her feet slid down on her slippers, and walked to the window nearby. Her hands clasped each handle and pulled it, giving her a welcome of the morning breeze. The wind gently touched her face and swayed her black tangled hair to different directions. She laughed as she saw Ruby, her cocker spaniel, hiding behind the bushes. It always wakes up earlier than her, and hides behind the bushes of the garden and waited for anyone to pass.

Alicia laughed as she saw this, even though she keeps on seeing this every summer morning. She then went to her desk and got a comb inside one of those cabinets. She then combed her hair, and got rid of the tangles, then tied her hair up to a pony tail. She rarely puts her hair down, because she thinks it would be such a burden.

She looked perfect, she was perfect. Her brown eyes always gave a deep gaze, her smile was enchanting, her complexion was fair but not pale and her rosy cheeks warmed her face up. She always had this glow, which made every guy fall for her. She could have every guy in the world, but there was just that one thing she can't have.

George Weasley.

Alicia has been crushing on him for years, ever since she met him. She has been waiting for so long, but she thinks that she doesn't deserve to be with him. But as much Alicia thought about this, she just fell for George deeper than ever. Alicia then went down to the dining room for breakfast.

"So what time are Angelina and Katie coming?" her mom asked.

"Early, maybe noon," Alicia replied.

"That's good, I have lots of client calls and I have to leave the house around noon too."

"It's okay," Alicia said and began to chew on her toast. Then silence fell on them.

"Mom?" Alicia said, breaking the silence. Her father was out at work as usual, so it was usually Alicia and her mom that bonded during Breakfast.

"Yes?"

"Why do you love dad?" Alicia asked. This made Alicia's mom choke on her food a little.

"What's wrong?"

"No, nothing's wrong, I'm just wondering…"

"You have a crush?"

"No, no," Alicia lied. She didn't want anyone to know. Her mom might tell other people.

"Well, it's hard to explain. He's just… perfect for me," her mom replied. Alicia nodded and thought hard. Is George perfect? Alicia would ask herself, and left it unanswered.


Alicia's POV

Garden, Noon

I lay down on the grass, watched the clouds pass by. My mom went out because of a client call, soI was pretty much alone.

"Alicia!"

Isat up, and sawmy friend, Angelina.

"Whoa, you're early,"I said. Angelina laughed and pulledme up from the grass.

"Its noon, I'm supposed to be here by then," Angelina laughed.

"Whoa, that means I've been heretoo long," I said, amazed. Angelina laughed again.

"Anyway, I saw the Twins the other day," Angelina began as they were going inside the house, "Attempted to make me drink their vomit-tasting butterbeer, good thing I knew better."

"Ha-ha," Alicia laughed, "What about George?"

"Well, you know. He and Fred, making up tricks and such, but most of the time, he wasn't there. Well, he wasn't there when Fred and I were together. I guess he felt out of place or something," Angelina replied, "I pity him, every time in school, he always seem to look for somebody."

"What do you mean?" I asked, opening the door forus to come in. Angelina sighed asshe went in,me following after.

"You see," Angelina whispered in hushed tones, "I think he has a crush on Katie."

Iwas shocked about this. Katie my oldest best friend, the one who first met me, the one who would always sit right next to me during meals, the one who would tag-along with me wherever I went, the one who knew every secret about me. Katie Bell, the blonde-haired green-eyed girl, who is being crushed by George? It made me confused.

"Are you sure? George knows Katie likes Oliver!" I exclaimed. Angelina shrugged.

"That's what I thought too, but you can't control your feelings of other people, right?" Angelina pointed out, "and he seemed to look at her a lot, like dropping glances."

"I guess…"

"Katie!" Angelina shrieked as she saw Katie come in from the front door. Katie ran to them and gave her friends a hug each.

"Hey!" Katie greeted back.Good thing she didn't hearon what Angelina and I were talking about. Or we're toast.

"How's life?" Katie asked.

"Great,"I replied.

No matter how Alicia's voice seemed cheerful, she felt devastated by the point that George doesn't like her. So that means she doesn't deserve to be with him anymore.

"Fine, I just passed by the twins, almost got pranked," Angelina said. Katie laughed.

"How typical."

Katie nodded and then got her duffel bag, "Come on. We have to unpack." She then went up the stairs. I followed after Katie, helpingthem with their luggage.

"Oh merlin," Angelina muttered, "I wish Hogwartscould justdrop out 'don't use magic outside of school' rule. I could just levitate my bag than bring it up with my bare hands, not to mention this bag is so HEAVY."

Katie and Ijust laughed at Angelina's comment. Then they arrived inmy room and unpacked their stuff.

"Alicia," Angelina said while taking out her stuff from her suitcase, "When will you ever get a boyfriend?"

"Angelina, I just can't find 'the one'," I replied. I lied; I DID find "the one". Of course, I didn't say because Angelina shouldn't know. She might tell Fred.

Katie had a line of boyfriends before her, but they were never 'the one'. She just dated whoever was there, she took pity on most. I knew better, but I'm just too stiff. I don't like to date anyone now, it's because I've been waiting. I've been rejecting guys a lot of times now; it seemed to be more like a hobby. But George wasn't any of them.

"Katie," Angelina began, "Do you like George?"

This made my stomach churn nervously. My heart was pounding fast. My brain was mixing up thoughts. My eyes were rolling around in different directions. My hands were waving around the air. My hair was going in different directions. Actually, my eyes weren't rolling, my hands are not waving around the air, and my hair wasn't becoming like Einstein. I was just exaggerating.

Katie gave the "what-the-hell look".

"Excuse me? No! You all know I like Oliver than anyone else. You guys are mixing up thoughts again," Katie said bewilderedly. "Why do you ask?"

"Oh, wondering…" Angelina said, "Maybe while waiting for Oliver, you can go for George-"

"Angelina, NO! Ihad boyfriendsto try and make Oliver jealous, but no. It had NO effect on him. But THAT doesn't mean I'm going to date lame guys again, because it'll be wasting my time," Katie replied. Her tone was half angry, half sad. I could tell. That was the first time she said she'll give up on Oliver.

"Katie, you can't give up on him, it has been years that you've liked him," I begged. I don't want her to end it like that. I still see some hope on her. Katie sighed.

"You're right; I can't give up right now. I don't want to. But I just think Oliver has no feelings for me," Katie replied sadly, "You're so lucky you have nothing to worry about, Angelina. You have Fred."

"Yeah," Angelina said, "I never knew I would like him so much, until I gave him a chance."

Give a chance? I never gave chances before. Angelina's right. I should give some a chance. Maybe one of them is truly "the one" for me. It's just that I don't give chances. I've seen Katie rambling about her past boyfriends on what a jerk they were. I believe in "Love at first sight." But I guess it doesn't work all the time.

"Angelina, just wondering, when was the time that Fred finally asked you out?" Katie asked. Angelina thought for a moment and answered Katie.

"Hogsmeade, last year," Angelina replied. Katie nodded.

"Alicia, why are you so quiet?" Katie asked. I suddenly went back with reality. I guess I was thinking too much.

"Oh nothing, just thinking about something, that's all," I replied. Her friends just nodded their heads.

"So what do you guys want to do?" Alicia asked.

"Hmm… a game of Exploding Snap?" Angelina suggested.

"Yeah!" Katie agreed. Then we began the game. I remembered the first time I played Exploding Snap, George was teaching me. But he or Fred always won. Surely I was quite pathetic at it.

After a game of Exploding Snap, we raided the fridge. Then we spent our time running around the house chasing Ruby. Then we lay down on the grass and relaxed. We would guess what each of the clouds look like.

"That one…" Katie pointed out to one of the clouds, "…looks like a Quaffle."

"Katie!" Angelina laughed and slapped Katie's shoulder lightly, "I guess you have been with Oliver too much."

I just laughed. I then looked at the clouds, "Hey! That looks like a star."

It reminded me of what the twins gave me a necklace with a star pendant for Christmas, Fred was the one who handed me the gift, George was off somewhere. I was pretty disappointed, I wanted George to hand me the gift.

I knew it was prank-free because if it was, I would tell Mrs. Weasley about they're prank on Snape's and Filch's office. I was the only one to witness it. It was an awful prank. It was a worse version of a dungbomb, not only it explodes then makes the air stink like poop, the dung itself also explodes leaving a HUGE mess, no wonder Snape didn't give back the Slytherins their homework. But he gave ours back, but it stunk a lot. We had to throw it away. After that prank, we made a deal, they'll stop giving me any prank-filled item and I don't report ANYTHING to Mrs. Weasley.

"That's cute," Angelina commented and then pointed to another one, "That looks like a broom!"

"Angelina, that doesn't even look like a broom, it's too plump! It's barely a stick!" Katie pointed out. Angelina laughed.

"I know, just teasing you and Wood Katie," she teased. Katie turned a bit pink and then mercilessly slapped Angelina's shoulder really hard.

"Hey, that hurts," Angelina complained. Katie just stuck out her tongue.

"That looks like ice cream in a cone!" I said out loud.

"Alicia, that was totally random," Katie laughed.

"Alicia, don't make me hungry. We just raided your fridge," Angelina said.

"That looks like a drumstick!" Katie mocked.

"Katie! We just raided the fridge; don't make me any more hungry!" Angelina complained.

"Just don't mock me about having a crush on Oliver, okay?"

"Fine."

I just laughed. Right now, I should be happy than waste my time thinking about George. Right now, I'm having fun with my friends.
