    Summary

    Alicia flew to feel free. Oliver flew because he didn't know how to stop.

    Alicia Spinnet's dad locked her broom under the stairs and called it love. He'd already lost her mother. He wasn't going to lose her too. Alicia learned young asking doesn't work. Words don't matter. She flew with Cedric behind her dad's back instead. Finding freedom and family at the Diggory's in a way she didn't get at home.

    Oliver Wood's dad put him on a broom before he could walk. A Scottish Keeper's son raised on a professional pitch. Every ounce of love he had was funneled through Quidditch. So Oliver learned you prove your worth by winning. And when you care about the wrong thing at the wrong time, you lose everything.

    Quidditch was their shared language. She was first pick for his team. But where Alicia was passionate, Oliver was obsessive.

    And in the background, what started as a Quidditch rivalry between Flint and Wood turned Alicia into a target. A way to get under Oliver's skin, and Flint knew it.

    Two people who believed they had to earn the right to be loved. A dual-POV story from Devon to the Battle of Hogwarts and beyond. Alicia POV from Chapter 1, Oliver from Chapter 11.

    Summary

    Oliver had fallen for her from the word go. Lovely Alicia, with hazel eyes that rivalled the sun, and the kind of Irish accent that could go from lilting to filthy just by dimming the lights. Everything about her had delighted him, captivated him. She’d danced through life with an astonishing lightness, a kind of unhurried, unselfconscious curiosity about all the people she met and all the things she encountered.

    -------

    Eight years ago, Alicia Spinnet disappeared from Oliver Wood's life without a trace.

    Now, she's back—and he wants answers.

    Elara Prince was sick of trying to fit in. To the Slytherins she was the Gryffindor blood traitor. To the Gryffindors, the girl who didn’t belong. In her fifth year at Hogwarts she decides it's time for a change. For a start, she wasn’t going to allow Draco Malfoy to toy with her anymore, even though her heart beat incessantly whenever he looked at her.

    And then there was Fred Weasley who was looking at her differently this year too. But really, what did he know about what was good for her?

    And who was he to kiss her late that night in the corridor?

    Summary

    They say love is a bridge between two people. How, then, do two very different people, from entirely different worlds, think to start?

    Brick by brick, board by board, and memory by memory...

    ...some bridges are easier to build than others.

    Why would a Gryffindor and a Slytherin ever fall in love? Why indeed.
