Link to the fest:
Harry Potter 20 Random Facts Fest 1. She was born at exactly 7:00 am on a Sunday, so her father was able to be there.
2. Her first bit of magic was used to draw the butterflies in her garden to her. A two year old covered in butterflies can apparently be terrifying for an unsuspecting father. Her father was jumpy around butterflies for years
3. Every Friday night, Ali's father would bring home some sort of ethnic take out. The family would all eat in front of the telly and watch documentaries.
4. Her first week at Hogwarts, Alicia got lost 5 times, fell down the stairs 2 times, and had Fred and George Weasley confuse her a total of 56 times.
5. The first time she got on a broom, Alicia landed herself in detention by going higher than Madam Hooch had allowed.
6. The first Quidditch game she watched, her eyes were glued to the somewhat messy red hair of Charlie Weasley. When he dove to catch the Snitch, she actually held her breath. After that she decided that she was going to marry that man. And play Quidditch.
7. George Weasley gave Alicia her first kiss. It was under the Quidditch stands in fourth year, and he wasn't very good at it. Lots of saliva on both their parts. Alicia then concentrated on Quidditch, and though he swears he's better at it, she's never snogged him again to test that theory.
8. Alicia wrote one poem, in her fifth year. It was a sonnet, and it was in honour of Charlie Weasley.
9. The summer after fifth year, Alicia went to India with her parents. She learned the basics of yoga.
10. Alicia scored moderately well on her OWLS, passing all of them, but not making it into Newt-Level Potions. She was just fine with this.
11. Alicia's favourite non-alcoholic drink is Fanta. When she was at Hogwarts she would line the bottom of her trunk with the stuff.
12. Alicia's wand is Ash, 11 1/2 inch, unicorn hair. The Ash tree is associated with war and hunting instruments, and unicorn hair shimmers with the spirit of masculinity tempered by worship of the Moon Goddess in her full, motherly aspect. Alicia feels that it suits her well, as she is a woman, but she's certainly got her share of rough and tumble attributes.
13. Alicia has always wanted a tattoo on her lower back.
14. Secretly, she would love to do a lingerie advert. She thinks it would be incredibly fun. She'd never tell anyone this, however.
15. Alicia uses sandlewood soap. She fell in love with the scent when she was in India, and now has found a place in London that sells it.
16. Ali occasionally goes to salons to get her hair washed. She likes the feeling of her scalp being massaged.
17. If Alicia didn't play Quidditch she'd likely teach Yoga. She loves the concentrated serenity within the challenging motions.
18. Alicia had a one night stand with her former captain on the Falcons, Fredrick (Teddy) Murray. The first part of the night was in an alcove of the Quidditch stadium. The second round was in her living room, and the third was in her bed. It was good, but she never really desired a repeat.
19. Alicia and the twins once got the House Elves at Hogwarts drunk, and then Alicia taught them a rather dirty drinking song. Later she heard one of them humming it. Hermione always seemed to shoot her dirty looks after that.
20. Alicia has never been more content with her life than she is at this moment. She is dating Charlie Weasley, and is the first female Captain of the Falmouth Falcons. She figures if she wins the Quidditch Cup with her team at least once before she's thirty, she'll have accomplished pretty well all of her life goals. Then she can spend all her time at the pub, drinking stout and telling stories of her glory days.
