A/N: This is a companion piece to the first interview, so if you liked the first one you might like this. This was an attempt at characterization, but I decided to post it under this format. I need to go track down a picture to use for this, and I'm adding the note now, after I've completely finished the entire thing, but there you go.

Interview:

June 23 1997 - Reporting Office of Senior Reporter Betty Braithwaite:

Alicia Weasley nee Spinnet

BB: I've heard you are the heiress of Gryffindor.

AW: Yes, I am.

BB: Well, I'm sure that we'd all like to know what your take on the war is.

AW: As far as I'm concerned there is no war. I have a family, I'm not concerned with the war as long as my family is left alone.

BB: Certainly there must be a reason for your concern for only your family and not the greater good of the wizarding world…

AW: My brother in law was recently hurt in a raid. I'm eight months pregnant with a little girl. My sister in law was arrested for use of love potions. I'm going through a lot right now. My mum suffers from down syndrome. My family is important to me. Wouldn't you do the same?

BB: Well. Um… What are your hopes for Hogwarts as the Gryffindor Heiress?

AW: I merely asked that they create a fund for students with little to no money. I grew up lower-middle class, and I had to work very hard to make onto the quidditch team with my old Comet 260. A lot of wizarding families just don't have the money to pay for everything. I could barely pay for tuition as it is!

BB: So you're not interfering at all?

AW: Hey, if they want to burn the castle down, that's their choice. I just want the special circumstances funds and for the houses to be treated equally. I hated how much Slytherin was prejudiced against. My mum was in Slytherin. She was bullied so much, and none of the teachers did anything about it. It was horrifying. She's told me all about it. Horrible. I was almost a Hufflepuff. My mum told me to get into Gryffindor or Ravenclaw so I wouldn't get bullied.

BB: That's truly an inspirational story. What is your mum's name?

AW: My mum's Maggie Spinnet. She attended Hogwarts with Glenda Chittock, Lorcan d'Eath and Gilderoy Lockhart. My dad died when I was seven. I was in charge of most of the things at the house. Mum always tried her best to do magic, but she messed up a lot. When I was 13 I got permission from the Ministry to use magic at home.

BB: So you are a very hardworking young lady?

AW: Oh, no. I wouldn't say that. I'd say I was motivated. The sorting hat tried to get me into Hufflepuff or Slytherin - what a combination those two are - but I wouldn't budge. It was one of the only advice my mum gave me, and I wanted to follow it. Ravenclaw was out, so I went to Gryffindor.

BB: So, how was your life at Hogwarts?

AW: I was friends with Katie Bell, Fred and George Weasley. I played on the Quidditch team as a chaser - that's how I got to know Katie, Fred and George. I went to the yule ball with Fred, everyone thought Fred went with Angelina, but she went with George. I joined Dumbledore's Army, and I was expelled. Fred and George had already quit and we got along pretty well.

BB: And afterwards?

AW: When I was 19 and working as a waitress in The Leaky Cauldron, I got to know Fred better. We went out a couple times. Then Katie got cursed with the locket. I was so scared. I quit my job and was ready to go into hiding with my mum. Mum was almost a squib, so we would've been targeted. Fred stopped me from going to another country, he asked my mum and I to stay in the apartment above the shop. We went on more and more dates, fell in love, and got engaged. We had a little wedding at the Burrow - just Fred's older siblings and parents and my mum. Katie and Angelina were there too. Angelina had just broken up with George, but still attended. I guess she and George ended up talking to each other, because they got back together again soon after. I'm sorry, I talk too much. The Sorting Hat said that was why Gryffindor was a good choice, because I'm really social and I talk a lot.

BB: It's alright. Makes interviews easier. With some people all you get is a yes or no. Sometimes not even that.

AW: (Laughs), yeah that makes sense.

BB: So, what do you do now?

AW: Well now that You-Know-Who is ending the war, I'm coming out of hiding. The Ministry offered me a chance to retake my exams - luckily my wand wasn't snapped. I've been studying like crazy. Hopefully I'll get a more challenging job than a waitress - my long term goal is to be an Unspeakable, but who knows. I'll probably start out as an Ancient Runes or Arithmancy writer.

BB: This has to be one of my more interesting interviews, Alicia. I didn't know you were the Gryffindor Heiress, am I correct in guessing you didn't know either?

AW: Yes, you are. Harry contacted me later on this year. I'm descended from him through my great-great-great-great-great-grandmother Felicity Tripe nee Flamel. She's the daughter of Nicolas and Perenelle Flamel. She's still alive, because she created a sorcerer's stone like her parents. She married and had children a few hundred years later. I've spoken to her a few times, and she has told me many stories of Earlier Hogwarts and how it's quality has declined over the years. Harry hopes to make Hogwarts similar to the way it was during her time.

BB: I hope one day Felicity will allow us to interview her, she seems quite an interesting person. Unfortunately we're going to have to end on this note. This interview was certainly eye opening!
