Hello all my readers, how are you today! (cricket sounds) I swear there was a whole line of people wanting to read my story... (sees next door to find people reading excellent Hermione and Snape fanfic) EWWWW! That's gross. Anyways I would like to say a couple of words of thanks to the following reviewers:

Eruaphadriel: Thanks so much for reviewing. I think your story kicks ass so EVERYBODY READ HER STORY!

Alice: Thank you very much and I hope you enjoy the next chapter.

lucid-03-days: Thanks for your advice and I'll try to edit my story more.

Will There Ever Be a Rainbow: That isn't really part of the story but to explain Alicia's life better she had a bit of trouble deciding on her career and was only able to figure out she wanted to be a doctor after Cho was an official one. If you think I made this up right after I read your review you're right.

Well there are some shout outs to the first couple of people to review chapter one and two. Now this chapter is really short and kind of pointless but I'm just setting up for the later and much more important events. Also, if you're a huge fan of Roger Davies I kind of made him a very uhhh... mean person. Read at your on will.

Disclamer: I don't own anything that is worth reading for but you can buy the crappy stuff off me. Don't sue me.

Chapter 3- A Happy Man and a Troll that was too Late

Alicia opened her eyes to see the bright room. I don't want to get up she thought but she had to. She sat up in her bed and then remembered yesterday's events, about Fred and his fate.

She looked around her plain room. The walls were painted white but had a banner of light blue roses around the edges. On the wall there was a window and beside that was a navy blue wardrobe that could fit alot more clothes than it looked like it could. Parallel of the wall was Alicia's bed that had pale blue sheets. Beside her bed was her night table where she had a lamp and a book she was reading called, "So you want to be a Mediwitch?". Beside the door was a desk where she would study different injuries and diseases. She was very serious about becoming a doctor.

Getting out of bed she opened her door to see George sitting at the table eating some toast. "Good morning Alicia," he said without looking up from the Daily Prophet.

"Morning George. You sleep well yesterday? I could get you a better mattress if you like," Alicia said very quickly. She didn't know why she was trying to please him so much. Angelina and Katie had stayed over many times but she had never asked them if she needed a better mattress. Maybe she just felt sorry for him. Yeah, that was it, she pitied him.

"No, I slept fine. I made you some toast because you'll need your energy today," he replied folding up the newspaper.

"Kay thanks. I'll eat it once I'm done getting ready," she gestured towards the bathroom before walking away to brush her teeth.

To tell the truth, George didn't know how Alicia could be in such a cheerful mood after what had happened yesterday. He had lied to her saying he had a great night because he didn't want to worry her. She would think I'm this depressed, immature, child he thought.

Alicia brushed her teeth and then washed her face. She looked into the mirror to see a groggy, wet-faced, Alicia. She got of the bathroom and into her bedroom to find out what to wear. She dug in her closet to try and find a clean doctor's uniform. She eventually found one that had a bit of a gravy stain on it. That doesn't matter, I'll wash my uniforms tonight she thought. Alicia had never been very good at household spells so she had to do cleaning the muggle way. With water and cleaning solution. She tied her chocolate brown hair in a pony tail then put on some jade earrings to match her green eyes.

Alicia walked out to find George doing the crossword in the Daily Prophet. "Anything intresting in the news today?" she asked while spreading some marmalade on a piece of toast.

"Yeah, look," he said handing her the paper flipped to page five.

Joke Shop Plays Last Prank

Last night there was a huge magical fire set on Weasly's Wizarding Wheezes. Neighbours spotted the fire and while some ran to put it out themselves others called for help from the Ministry Fire Department (MFD). The fire itself took many hours to extinguish using much water and different magical potions used for this type of fire.

After there was nothing left of the fire MFD workers tried to find any bodies or what might have caused the fire. Cheif officer comments, "There was absolutely nothing left of the shop or the apartment above it. All there was was ashes of old plastic jokes and gags. There didn't seem to be anybody killed during the fire either." The shop owners, Fred and George Weasly, were spotted apparating away from the fire.

Fred Weasly is now currently in St. Mungo's suffering from a coma. "He inhaled much smoke during the fire because he passed out," Dr. Cho Chang reportes, "He'll need alot of potions and spells to clean his lungs, heart,and brain but also alot of surgery to scrape of the remaining residue." Today he awaits surgery on his lungs but death is a possibility since the operation has been known to be life threatning.

What caused the fire has now been discovered. "It looks like a magical firecracker exploded," said the cheif, "then the fire spread to the rest of the crates in the basement and the whole building collasped."

Fred's twin brother, George, was unable to comment but is staying in his friend's, Alicia Spinnet's, apartment until he has found a new home. Fred's fiancee, Angelina Johnson, also had a few words to say, "Fred was a great guy with a great business. Even if he survives the surgeries and wakes up from the coma, he'll never get his life back on track. I don't know how we'll ever get married."

"So that's what happened. Why would Fred set off a firecracker though?" Alicia thought out loud.

"Beats me."

"Well if we can get him awake from his coma we'll ask him."

"Yeah. Anyways I have to check the want ads, wouldn't hurt to get a job."

"Oh shit! I'm gonna lose my job if I don't get there right now!" she ranted, "Bye George, thanks for breakfast, I'll make it tomorrow." After saying that she apparated to the hospital.

"Alicia where have you been!" Cho yelled after she apparated in, "The regular Welcome Witch is sick today so you'll have to take her place until another person comes at around three o'clock. Then you need to go clean and sterilize the room where we'll be doing surgery on Fred. Then after that I have a couple of schedualed appointments for diseases so you'll need to make some potions for me. At the end of the day we need to do brain surgery on a man who got poision injected in his head."

"When do I have a break for lunch. By that time it'll be around eight o'clock!" Alicia whined.

"Don't worry, you'll find time to eat. That reminds me, we have the night shift tomorrow so we'll work from about five to four in the morning."

"Cho, that's an impossible schedule! Where am I supposed to fit in sleep and meals?"

"Leesh, no one said that being a mediwitch would be easy and always fit your schedule. Now hurry up and get behind the Welcome Witch counter."

So Alicia sat behind the desk and answered questions from different patients and sent them off to the right floor. "Ma'me, I-I don't know- know why I'm here-here." stuttered a small, bald man. Alicia directed the man to a doctor that specialized in spell damage.

At around three fifteen Alicia heard a women chewing gum ask, "You're shifts over, you can leave now." Alicia glanced up to see a chubby, middle-aged witch with messy hair and lip stick.

"Thanks," she mumbled and walked off towards the surgical room that she had to sterilize for Fred. She walked through the halls and pushed open the door that led to it. It was a total mess. Tools were everywhere and blood covered, blankets on the table were also blood stained and there were drops of a slippery potion on the floor so it was hard to walk. "Shit, I suck at cleaning spells. Wait! Inspiration!" she yelled and ran out the door.

She speed-walked down the halls since she would be breaking a serious rule if she ran. Reaching the janitor's office she knocked. "Come in," she heard an old man say.

"Mr. Filch, do you happen to have any muggle cleaning tools?" Alicia asked politely.

"Of course I do. My brother, Argus, and I are squibs so we have tons of muggle cleaning equiment." Mr. Filch said handing her a Swifer Wet Jet, detergent for washing tools, and antibacterial Febreeze. "I suggest you take the sheets from the earlier surgery and put it in this washing machine," he said taping a washer and dryer in his office, "Then spray the room with Febreeze. Sorry I couldn't clean the room myself but the whole level upstairs just threw up last night."

"It's okay. Cho said that alot of apprentices have to learn to clean out and sterilize treating rooms."

"Well you better hurry up if you only have about an hour."

Alicia looked at her watch. "Okay, thanks for the tools," she said and speed walked to the room she was supposed to clean. She decided to wash the sheets first since muggle washers and dryers didn't work very quickly. Bundling them up she went back to the janitor's office minus the old Mr. Filch. He must have gone upstairs she thought pouring some detergent into the machine. She hit the start button and listened to the water spurt out. Then she ran back to the room. She took out the Swifer Wet Jet and began mopping the slippery potion while using the cleaning solution for tough spots. When she was done with that she took out a wet rag and began wiping away at the tools while using detergent. When everything else was done she went back to the dryer (when Alicia had time to transfer the sheets from the washer to the dryer is a mystery) and took out the sheets. She set thm up on the table and sprayed everything with the Febreeze.

Very satisfied with her work she went to Fred's room where Cho and some of the nurses were probably transfering him to the surgical room. "Alicia there you are! Help us lift levitate Fred to his room." Cho instructed.

"He hasn't woken up from the coma yet has he?" Alicia asked.

"No," Cho answered, "now stop standing there asking stupid questions and help us levitate him. He's pretty heavy you know." Alicia then assisted them to the room.

The surgery had been horrible and the team thought his lungs would collapse at one point. Through a horrific three and a half hours the surgery was done and Fred was still alive. "When will he wake up?" Alicia asked dumbfounded that he didn't come back to life immediatly.

"We're still going to need to perform open heart and brain surgery until he has fully recovered. Before you leave tonight I want you to make the same purification potion from yesterday and give it to him." Cho said.

"Okay," Alicia replied.

After the team had set Fred back into his bed another nurse came rushing into the room. "DR. CHANG! DR. CHANG! THERE IS AN EMERGENCY AND WE NEED YOU TO PERFORM SURGERY RIGHT NOW!" the nurse bellowed. Cho rushed out of the room with the nurse without a second glance.

What was Alicia supposed to do now? She was supposed to help Cho make some potions for some sick patients but now that she was gone would she be assigned to help another doctor? "Which one here is Alicia Spinnet?" asked a nurse who had appeared at the door.

"I am," Alicia said.

"I was informed that a Dr. Cho Chang was needed to immediatly perform surgery so her patients today are left without a doctor." the nurse explained looking at a clipboard.

"Okay," she said. Alicia wondered what this had to do with her.

"Since there is no doctor to take her place you are going to need to see her patients," the nurse said looking up from her clipboard.

"Okay."

"They're right now in room sixty-nine."

"Okay, thank you," Alicia said running towards room sixty-nine. There she sat down at her chair and looked at the patient's health record that was on the desk. The name said Davies, Roger. Roger Davies. That name sounded familiar, where had she heard it before? Then she remembered just as he walked in.

"Hey Cho!" he greeted but soon realized that it wasn't Cho.

"Hello Roger," Alicia replied.

"You're not Cho," he said in surprise.

"I know I'm not."

"Then who are you?"

"I'm Alicia Spinnet. Cho needed to perform an emergency operation so as her apprentice, I"ll be looking after her patients today."

"Well then, hello Dr. Alicia Spinnet. I've heard that name before, did you go to Hogwarts?"

"First of all I'm not an official doctor yet. And yes I did go to Hogwarts."

"You played Quidditch didn't you?"

"Yes, I was a chaser."

"Now I remember you. You were a Gryffindor chaser. Don't you remember me? I was the Ravenclaw captain."

"Of course I remember you. Now lets get to work, we don't have unlimited time. So..." she trailed off, "You're here because you've got a bit of a stripped throat."

"Yes."

"Let me examine it and I'll give you a potion to drink." She bent over him and lit the top of her wand. She glared down at his throat and saw it was a bit red and swollen. "I can inform you that there is nothing serious but I'll give you a potion to keep it from getting worse." Alicia explained. She went to a nearby cauldron and started to mix and add different ingrediants. While stirring she decided to make some light conversation. "So what do you do now?"

"Well I really did love Quiditch and I'm currently in the minor league but if I play good enough my captain will recommend me to one of the major teams."

"So all you do is play Quidditch day in and day out? That seems kind of boring."

"I know its pretty boring. Would you do me a favour? You know, to help me make my life a little less boring?"

"I'll try."

"Would you go out with me this Friday?"

She stood up straight and tried to think of a good reason not to go out with him but she didn't find any. "I don't see why not. Okay then." she said walking towards him with a bottle of the potion he needed for his stripped throat.

"Okay. How about we meet at the Three Broomsticks at around eight o'clock? We could get a butterbeer and just chat..." he trailed off.

"That sounds good," she replied. She looked down at her watch to see that it was time for her next appointment. "You gotta leave now. I have another appointment."

"Okay, see you Friday then."

"Okay, see ya." Then Roger walked out the door.

The rest of the day passed by like a blur and she couldn't remember anything except when Roger had asked her out. "Good evening Mr. Anmark!" she yelled at him as he sat behind the cash register counting that day's profit.

"Evening," he said without looking up but Alicia didn't care. Nothing was going to ruin her mood.

She took out the key to her apartment and unlocked the door. Right when she came in George ran up to her and asked, "Is Fred okay? Did he survive the surgery? Did he wake up from his coma?"

"Yes, yes, and no," she said remembering the surgery and how he wouldn't wake up, "Now he needs to face an open heart and brain surgery."

"Its a start," he said but with less enthusiasm.

"Yeah. Guess what?" Alicia said trying to change the subject.

"What?"

"I got a date with a guy that used to go to Hogwarts. Guess who it is."

"Ummm... Wood?"

"What! Ewww..."

"Okay tell me. I give up."

"Roger Davies."

"WHAT!"

"What's wrong with Roger? He seems like a sweet enough guy."

"Don't you remember he was the biggest player in Hogwarts?"

"No, he just went out with alot of different girls is all."

"He'll start cheating on you the first day you stop worshipping the ground he walks on."

"What? That's ridiculous. Why can't you just be happy for me? I mean, I know what's good for me and I'll dump him at the first sign of trouble."

"Yeah, I guess you're right."

"So..." Alicia said trying to change the subject, "Did you eat dinner yet? I'm sure I can cook us up something like quick pasta from a can."

"Of course I ate. Look at the time."

She glanced over at the clock, it read nine o'clock. "Oh," mumbled Alicia, "Would you at least join me for some fruit?"

"I would love to but I'm not feeling so good. I'm going to bed, night."

"Night," Alicia said after he closed the door to his bedroom. What's eating him she thought as she opened a can of Cheif Boyardee Beeferoni.

George slammed the door and got undressed. He collasped on to the bed full of thought. "So someone reached her first, eh?" He said to himself. What he didn't understand was how Alicia could ignore all of the signs? Him bringing her soup once when she got sick, him helping her move out and him helping her convince the doctors to give her some training. As he sat in bed he thought, would she ever feel the same way or would this whole crush just blow over? Then he figured out what he needed to do, he needed to get over Alicia.

Alicia sat at the kitchen table eating some pasta when she heard someone knock at her door. "It's nine thirty, who would be here at this time?" she asked herself. As she opened the door Angelina popped up.

"Oh my God, how did it go? Is he still alive?" Angelina screeched.

"Yes he's alright. Now calm down before you wake George up. I don't want to get him any more pissed at me than he is already." Alicia replied.

"Why's he pissed at you?"

"Well it started out at the hospital after Fred's surgery. Cho had been called to do an operation so I had to take care of the rest of her patients. Then Roger Davies-"

"From Hogwarts?" Angelina interrupted.

"Yes, from Hogwarts. Anyways he asked me out and then I came home and told George. Now he's all angry. I mean, why can't he just be happy for me like you?"

Since Angelina had been dating Fred for so long she gradually realized that George had the hugest crush on Alicia. If it were Katie she would have screamed out that George liked her but Angelina was the exact opposite. She wanted George to do everything so when they were finally together it would be way more meaniful. "Wow Alicia that's great. Of course you'll have to tell me every single detail about your dates, okay?" Angelina lied because she didn't want to get her friend even more unhappy about Roger.

"I promise. Thanks for being so supportive of this, you're a great friend," Alicia said giving Angelina a hug.

"You're welcome," Angelina replied feeling kind of guilty.

A/N That was longer than expected. Well anyways, tell me what you thought and I'll try to fit in another chapter before I go away for pratically all of July. Just to let you know the next chapter is going to include Alicia's date and then it's gonna fast forward two years. Review!
