Life After Hogwarts

August 21

12:07 am

Gods, parents really do bloody suck sometimes. It's just not fair! After seven years of being a witch, my loving mum and dad are taking me away from that world and putting me right back with muggles. I don't even know how to deal with muggles anymore! Besides my parents, I've barely talked to one since I started at Hogwarts, much less lived with one. But now, I'm going to be forced to be with them, everyday, for the next four years. Bloody Hell!!! Trust parents to remember everything.

Dad went to Newham College when he was my age, and has been planning to send me there practically since I was conceived. In fact, that was one of the requirements for letting me go there.

I had just gotten my letter accepting me to Hogwarts. I had no idea what I was getting into, being the naïve little eleven year old that I was, but being able to do magic sounded fun and I spent at least a week convincing my parents to let me go. When Mum and Dad told me they had made their decision, I was jumping up and down in anticipation.

"Alicia," Daddy had begun in his deep lawyer voice. "We have decided to allow you to go to Hagwarts-"

"Hogwarts!" I had corrected automatically.

"Hogwarts, right. Well, your mum and I have decided to allow you to go, on one condition. After you graduate, you must go to Newham University."

I had been so exited that I, Alicia Spinnet, would soon be a witch. A witch with magical powers to turn all the boys who made fun of me into frogs, that I hardly even heard the "condition." Not that it would have mattered then, I still had seven years and I knew how to handle muggles. Until that point, I had been one. But now this "condition" is coming back to haunt me. My bags are all packed and sitting in the trunk of the mini van (which I have magically expanded to fit everything) and I am practically having a nervous breakdown. I don't know how to survive without magic! What am I going to do without it? Most important, What will happen to my quidditch game if I can't get any practice???  I better get some sleep, I am going to look like hell tomorrow, exactly what I need.

Still August 21

8:24 am

Had a HORRIBLE dream… flashbacks of my first day at Hogwarts. It makes me shudder. I haven't even thought about it in years, too painful. I was so excited getting on the train; I had already met two girls in my year. (Katie and Angelina, obviously) I walked confidently onto the train, pushed my glasses up my nose, and walked directly into the cutest redhead I had ever seen. George Weasley. Even back then I was fascinated by boys, and was already drooling over George. (Even though I didn't know his name) It was a magical moment, seemed like it was in slow motion… He stopped, looked me directly in the eyes with a beautiful blue gaze and said… "Watch where you're going, four eyes!"

Everyone who was around laughed, I cried. For an eleven year old that's pretty damn traumatizing. I woke up in a cold sweat, reassuring myself that I now had contacts, was not a scrawny little first year, and that I would not be running into George Weasley, although, I rather hope that I do. After we both started playing quidditch he became much nicer, and we actually became friends after Angie started going out with his twin Fred. Imagine, me, Alicia-Four-Eyes-Spinnet, friends with the fabulously gorgeous (Georgeous) George Weasley. He even has a nickname for me: Lich. Pronounced LEESH! He's the only one who calls me that, and I think that I'm the only one he has a nickname for! Gods, how shallow am I.

Shit! It's already 8:45! I have to leave at 9:00! I've spent 15 minutes dreaming about a guy who I will most likely never see again. (Sob) Ok Lich, (EEEE!!!!) You're going to get dressed RIGHT NOW in the hottest little outfit you own, walk into that college, and be the best bloody muggle you can be! Ok, I can do this. Shit, who am I kidding? With my luck, I'll run into some yummy red head who will say "Watch where you're going Four Eyes!" HELP!!!

A/N- End scene. Uh… Chapter… So what'd you think? Yes, I know she sounds pathetic, but hang in there. It gets better. R/R…I will love you soooooooooooo much!!!
