[edit] Early Years

"Oliver, this is mad, you can't let Harry deal with that thing on his own. Let's ask for an inquiry-"
—Alicia suggest they stop the game[src]

Alicia Spinnet was a student already studying at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry when Harry Potter arrived in 1991. She was older than he was and was sorted into the house of Gryffindor when she arrived, she soon became friends with fellow Gryffindors Angelina Johnson, Katie Bell and Fred and George Weasley who all shared an interest in Quidditch.

Alicia tried out for the Quidditch teams and made reserve position, meaning that the Gryffindor team was quite skilled as Lee Jordan commented that she was a good pick by Oliver, meaning she had an impressive skill at Quidditch but still only made reserve.

Alicia was only a reserve on the Gryffindor Quidditch team in 1991, however she would join the team the year after and would play as Chaser from 1992-1996. Alicia is most often the chaser who attempts penalty shots for Gryffindor when the other team commits a foul. She finds prejudice based on blood purity extremely offensive, screaming "how dare you" when Draco Malfoy called Hermione Granger a "Mudblood" in 1992.[1]

[edit] Seventh Year

"Andrew Kirke and Jack Sloper. Neither of them are brilliant, but compared to the rest of the idiots who turned up..."
—Alicia to Harry Potter regarding replacements.[src]

During her seventh and final year Alicia would now be captained under Angelina Johnson, who replaced Oliver Wood when he left. The team's first Quidditch practise doesn't go too well and results in Katie Bell suffering great blood loss. When High Inquisitor Dolores Umbridge inspected Filius Flitwick she asked Alicia how she thought he was as a teacher and Alicia responded only positive comments. Disliking Umbridge, Alicia and her friends met up for the meeting at Hog's Head and would then join Dumbledore's Army.

Alicia attended as many meetings as she could make without being caught by Umbridge and risking being in detention as the meetings themselves were cutting into what little Quidditch practise she had and she couldn't afford to lose her spare time. At the last meeting before Christmas break, Alicia informed Harry that she and Angelina had found replacements for the team once they had left, Ginny Weasley, Andrew Kirke and Jack Sloper, she remarks they are not good but will do.

[edit] Battle of Hogwarts

"Kingsley and Lupin were looking up at him, as were Oliver Wood, Katie Bell, Angelina Johnson and Alicia Spinnet, Bill and Fleur, Mr and Mrs Weasley."
—Arrival of past students and Order members.[src]

After graduating from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry it is unknown what Alicia went on to do, furthering her career in Quidditch is a possibility. But as the Second Wizarding War was at it's height she carried her Dumbledore's Army coin around with her, and when the time came in 1998, Neville Longbottom summoned all past and present D.A. members to return to Hogwarts to join the forces in the Battle of Hogwarts fighting against Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters. Alicia returned to Hogwarts with her friends, Oliver Wood, Katie Bell and Angelina Johnson and Order of the Phoenix members they informed, Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour. It is presumed she survived the battle as she was not listed amongst the dead that Harry recognised.
