Ch. # Chapter Title Word Count Reviews
1 Ivy

Meet Ivy Shelton.

2,666 6
2 Welcome to The Wizarding World

Ivy has some questions (and might be a squib), Dumbledore has some answers, and Diagon Alley has all the goods

2,558 3
3 The Hogwarts Express

What about Ivy Shelton made you think that she was going to wait until she was at Hogwarts to start making waves? Ha! Don't make me laugh!

3,398 5
4 Welcome Back Feast

Sirius Black has been dethroned as Hogwarts' snog king...by REMUS LUPIN?! Hahaha, yeah, I think so.

5 And So It Begins

So...remember that guy that nobody liked because they thought he was a traitor and a murderer? Well he makes his first appearance in this chapter. No big deal. Also, Ivy gets to see firsthand exactly how much Lily hates James, and finds an unlikely ally in Peter Pettigrew. And you'd think Remus would be pleased to have his business as a sex god known all about the school, but noooo...

6 Muggle School, Magical School, It's All Gross

Ivy's officially started her magical education, and it's not as easy as Harry made it look. Maybe she should have been glad to be a squib. And, naturally, nothing is ever boring with Ivy. Not even school.

Once Amelia managed to mollify Lily enough to feel confident that she wouldn’t kill Alice if Amelia let go of her, the post arrived, effectively distracting Lily. Alice nudged Ivy. She caught the tiniest nod of Alice’s head towards the doors. Ivy saw what Amelia was gesturing to, and they exchanged smirks.

7 Study Hard

Professor McGonagall starts warming up to Ivy...that's a good thing, right? The first session of DADA might be Ivy's last, and the Marauders start reading big boy books. There's also a really good looking Hufflepuff somewhere in there. Oh, and Ivy let's her mouth run away with her again, and Remus isn't happy about it. Surprise, surprise.

8 Dedication

Remus confronts Ivy with terrible results (let's face it, this is Ivy we're talking about), James and Ivy have some more fun with Slughorn, McGonagall worries, a crush progresses, a revelation is made, and Ivy begins her "dedicated" effort towards winning Remus over.



“You know, James,” she began as she relieved him of her things, “eventually, we’re going to have to do some actual thinking in Potions.”

9 Put the Row in Rounds

We're all pretty used to Ivy causing trouble, but let's just see what happens when she tries to fix some of those problems. The Marauders (well, 3/4 of them anyway) have agreed to help Ivy out with their pal Moony, and Ivy underestimates said pal's capacity for animosity. Vastly.

10 Out of Hand

Let's just say that a few things get out of hand during this chapter, like proper library behavior, free period, punishment negotiations, Lily's temper, Peeves, and the guys' wardrobe. Like I said, just a few things...

11 On the Same Page

I believe that this is the chapter you've all been waiting for, folks!...Or is it?


It was like everything was holding its breath to see how Ivy would react. She turned to look out over the surrounding landscape, but Remus kept his eyes on her. She really looked fragile at that moment, and the observation caused the knife of guilt in his gut to twist.

12 Ivy Marcell: Dating Coach

One day, James Potter came to the startling conclusion that Lily Evans’ eyes were green, and furthermore, that he could spend the rest of his life staring into them. Unfortunately, it was the same day that he realized that she really and truly, incontrovertibly, undeniably hated him. James Potter is a fool in love without a clue, and Lily Evans is a stubborn girl in denial. Ivy’s always wanted to play Cupid....Here’s to hoping that she can do it without angering anyone.

13 Not All Games Have Rules

James and Lily are pulling no punches and taking no prisoners during this round of Shamelessly-Use-the-Helpless-Passerby. With Ivy for a referee while these two are in the ring, the outcome is decidedly: ugly.

14 S is for Sucker...and Slytherin

Ivy promised Moose that he wouldn't get dragged into the plan, but it looks like she's going to have to recind that promise. Thank Merlin, Sirius is enthusiastic. But he's always up for a little game of pin the tail on the Slytherin...

4,799 6
15 Tricks, Treats, and Quidditch Meets

Okay, okay, I know that they're not called "meets," but it rhymed!    *cue angelic (not really) smile*

It turns out that James Potter came all this way...to choke.

16 Meddling Gryffindor

Alcohol and Slytherins don't go together so well. Go figure. And whoever said that Hufflepuffs couldn't be gallant has obviously never met one.

5,420 4
17 To Be or Not To Be…A Proper Girlfriend, That Is

Ivy accidentally blurts out her news, to mixed reactions, and struggles to come to terms with the fact that she’s an idiot.

 

“Why so serious, Marcell?” Sirius teased

“Because I happen to be dating that git,” she snapped.

18 Holiday Havoc

December is a magical month, isn't it?

(A/N: Prepare yourselves for a rather beast-like chapter as my apology for not updating for months. )
