·Alicia Spinnet·

-skilled Quidditch player

-amazing Gryffindor Chaser

-p_r_e_t_t_y brunette

seems as if she had a lot going for her,

no?

N.

O.

Her "friends" were her fellow teammates…

Best mates?

Her fellow C-h-a-s-e-r-s

She just couldn't escape that damn sport.

No one knew her middle name (M_a_u_r_e_e_n)…

…her favorite food…

(milk, because it's a horrible&&funny conundrum when

someone realizes it's a food and a drink)

…her favorite 'n' least favorite classes

(Potions is fun—blow things up! Charms is the pits—it went wrong because the -pinky- finger wasn't e·x·t·e·n·d·e·d?)

After Hogwarts,

Alicia couldn't wait to

GROW ^^UP

That 4-letter word isn't so bad after all~

Only P_e_r_c_y can see past

"Spinnet, no. Something, Gryffindor"

& find

At last an adult, Percy's the teen he should've been

(& now Ali has her own Weasley boy)

I've been dying to write them for a while now… :3 I like it, though—so many see Fred with Angelina and George with Katie, but what about Alicia? Well, now she's got her Weasley… Funny that she needed to grow up & Perce needed to let go of himself. ;3 This one is special—it was the last freeverse in my 200-page notebook of FVs! XD So now I'm on volume 2 of my FV notebooks… Cool, huh? B)

Thanks for reading, and please review!

2017 note: I still find this pairing to be super sweet and do want to write them again… -w- Funnily enough, my remark in my 2011 A/N about filling a notebook with FVs was what stunned my first wave of readers of this piece. XD
