Right, this is a one shot which I'm determined to get posted up here. ---
Hermione opened the dormitory door to find the room completely empty. She smiled slightly and then pulled all the things she needed from her trunk. The Yule Ball was that night and she was getting ready. She placed her dress robes on the edge of her bed and left for the bathroom. When she returned, drying her hair with her wand, the hangings around Alicia's bed were closed. She stopped in the doorway. They were open before she had left.
''Alicia?'' A spring creaked as a small crack appeared in the curtains. ''Are you okay?'' The grey coloured eye nodded before Alicia shut the curtains again. Hermione didn't move. Alicia sighed.
''I'm fine, Hermione- just get ready for the Ball... Victor will like your robes'' Alicia's voice sounded dead. Hermione walked back over to her bed, staring at Alicia's scarlet hangings and tripping over her trunk.
''Are you sure your okay?'' She asked, picking up a bottle.
''I want to say yes but I can't...'' She said slowly, drawing the hangings back. Her pale eyes were framed by long, lank brown hair.
''What is it? What's wrong?'' Hermione said quickly, dropping the bottle and hurrying over to Alicia.
''I'm a monster...'' She muttered and Hermione shook her head.
''No your not! Why say that, Alicia?''
''Because it's true! I don't even know why I done it! I hate the boy!'' Alicia said, angrily.
''Who? Jamie?'' Hermione asked, frowning. Alicia shook her head.
''Malfoy! I've hated him since first year! Why! I'm such an idiot!'' She said, angry with herself again.
''Malfoy? Alicia, what happened?'' Hermione asked, totally confused.
''I was on my way to see America and Hedwig to send a letter to mum and dad... He walked past me and I ignored him. I sent the letter and was standing there stroking Pig when the door opened. I turned as he came up behind me. At first I was scared to find him that close but then I was angry... Then... I don't know what happened but I wasn't angry anymore- he kissed me... I tried to push him off but somehow I ended up kissing him back!'' Alicia cried and Hermione stared at her.
''Alicia, have you told Jamie?'' She asked eventually and Alicia nodded. ''Well?''
''He just walked away from me...'' She said quietly. ''He completely hates me...''
''Don't dramatize... Alicia, you need to find Jamie! Malfoy's not in his common room! I saw him bulling a couple of first years on my way here!'' Hermione said and Alicia looked up.
''You think he'll go looking for Malfoy?'' She whispered and Hermione nodded. Alicia scrambled off her bed and out of the room. Hermione watched her go and then returned to her own bed to get ready for tonight.

''Don't ever touch her again!'' Jamie shouted as he stood in the courtyard.
''What I do has nothing to do with you!'' Draco shouted back as he stood opposite Jamie. A small number of people were standing round them.
''It does when you kiss my girlfriend!'' Jamie shouted and a couple of people whispered to each other.
''Well, it doesn't help that she kissed me back!'' Even more whispers flew round the two boys at Draco's shout.
''I know Alicia! You cursed her or something! She told me how she didn't know what was happening!'' Jamie shouted as the large oak doors burst open.
''JAMIE!'' Alicia shouted, pushing through the now quite large crowd. ''Don't! He's not worth it! Leave it!''
''No, Alicia!'' Jamie shouted, pulling out his wand. Draco done the same and Alicia stepped between them, casting wandless shield charms.
''Yes!'' She said, her brown hair turning black. ''I'm telling you to leave it! Put the wand down and walk away!'' She ordered. Jamie's wand dropped a few inches and Draco seized his chance. He shot a spell towards Jamie but Alicia's shield charms were still in place.
''Coward!'' Draco shouted and Alicia turned to look at him.
''Why don't you go and crawl under a rock? Your the coward! You have to curse someone for them to like you! No one here needs to that!'' She shouted at him, pulling her wand out of the top of her dress.
''Alicia!'' Harry, Ron and Ginny ran down the stairs and battled their way through the crowd.
''Alicia, look at yourself'' Ginny said and she lowered her wand.
''That's right. Now, choose one of us'' Draco said smirking, flicking his wand slightly.Ginny nudged Harry as Alicia stared at Malfoy.
''He's cursed her!'' Ginny whispered angrily. Harry watched in horror as Alicia took a step towards Draco.
''Jamie! You need to speak to her! Talk to her and she might snap out of it'' Harry said and Jamie nodded.
''Alicia- try to fight it! Come on! Please...'' He shrugged at the others. Ginny rushed towards Alicia.
''Alicia! Think about it! Try and think around the curse! Look at Jamie! Look at his face! He's the one who really loves you!'' Harry and Ron noticed that when Ginny said Jamie's name, Alicia stopped walking.
''Jamie needs you, Alicia! Remember about Jamie!'' Hary shouted.
''Jamie loves you! Jamie! Tell her!'' Ron said, looking at him.
''Now and forever! Remember? Now and forever! That's how long I'll love you, Alicia! Remember when I told you that? Back in first year? Now and forever!'' Alicia turned to stare at him, blinked slowly and then rushed towards him. The crowd round them cheered and clapped while Draco sulked.
''Oh, and one more thing...'' Alicia walked towards Draco, who watched her greedily. She stopped in front of him. ''For cursing me in the Owlery...'' She punched him in the face. ''For kissing me...'' She punched him again and he fell to his knees. ''And for cursing me just now...'' She kicked him in the stomach. ''And lastly, for trying to make me choose between you and Jamie'' She flicked her wand and his left leg became rubber. All the bones had vanished from his entire leg. ''I'm sure Crabbe and Goyle will help you to the Hospital wing... Think yourself lucky that it wasn't anything painful...'' She said, waving at him as she stepped over his leg. Jamie, Harry, Ron and Ginny followed her. ''You three can't come! Ginny and I have to get ready for the ball!'' Alicia said, stopping the three boys on the marble staircase.
''Alright... See you down there... Love you'' Jamie said, kissing her.
''Now and forever'' she replied, smiling as she and Ginny walked up the stairs.
End Disclaimer: I own nothing apart from Alicia and Jamie. This is decicated to Naomi, because she gave me the title and main idea of the story ages ago, even if she can't remember, so I've decided that I would find a way to show show how much I love my SS sister and wrote this one shot.
I'll leave this up for a couple of days and then get it moved... Hope you like it Abi... xox
