Ivy sat in an empty cart on the train. She had no friends other than Lily Evans. She had grown up in a family of dark wizards who were obsessed with 'pure bloods'. Ivy didn't care if the person had blood of many origins so long as they were a fair and decent person. She was molded by her family and their ways so she was sorted into Slytherin house like the rest of her idiot family... She had hated it there so much, only just tolerating the other students and their crap. Ivy was from Canada so she was different anyways. Because she was Slytherin no one would give her a chance to show who she really was. Except Lily.....Lily was sensitive like that. She gave Ivy a chance even though she was stereotyped to be evil and slimy. Ivy was ecpecting to spend the entire train ride alone, as Lily was most likely going to sit with her other friends... Just then Ivy heard the door open. She looked over and none other than Lily was walking thru the door.
Lily- Hey Ivy!
Ivy- Lily! Hi! I..I didn't expect to see you until we got to the castle!
Lily- Well, I figured you'd want some company.
Ivy- You figured right, girl!
Lily sat down opposite Ivy and gave her a warm smile. Ivy missed that smile. No one smiled at her alot lately unless they were planning a cruel joke involving her.
Lily- So where is Gary?
At the ound of his name, Ivy's pet cat Gary jumped from the luggage racks above their heads onto Lily's lap. Gary was a black cat with a white tuft of fur on his belly and one on his chest. His green blue-purple eyes were his beauty, dazzling everyone who saw them.
Lily- Gary!! long time no see!
She petted Gary and he curled up on her lap and started purring. Gary didn't like that many people. 'Lily must be a really good person.' Ivy thought.
Just then, they heard a bang. Lily and Ivy jumped in their seats and Gary started hissing. The door of their cart opened and a greasy haired boy from Slytherin fell inside. He was clearly stunned. Ivy didn't need Lily to say his name to know who he was. It was Severus Snape. He was quiet and truly evil. Ivy disliked him slightly less than the other Slytherins, but still couldn't say she DID like him. Ivy was just wondering how he ended up in their cart when Lily snorted loudly. Ivy looked up to see James Potter, wand atthe ready, smirking with satisfaction. When he looked up and saw Lily, the smirk disappeared and a look of cool and calm replaced it. His hand went to his hair, seemingly automatically, and started ruffling it. Lily wasn't looking at him. She seemed to suddenly find the window much more exciting. James noticed this and stuffed his head out the door and called out:
James- Hey! Guys! I found Lily! Get in here!

Lily sighed and continued to look out the window. Ivy knew who James had called. He was never without his little group. Ivy didn't mind them coming here but how would they treat her? After all she was a Slytherin. James came in and sat down right next to Lily. Seconds later, 3 more boys entered. Ivy knew their names. Sirius Black came in first, and sat next to Ivy. Remus Lupin, next to Sirius and Peter Pettigrew next to James. James took out a snitch and started letting it go and catching it within seconds. James was an excellent seeker on the Gryffindor Quidditch Team. Ivy smiled at him. James returned the smile. He was a decent guy. He probably got along with Ivy because Lily did. It was pretty obvious he loved her. Sirius saw the smile and frowned.
Sirius- Why is she in here Lily?
Lily- I came in here to see her. She's my best friend.
Sirius- She's a Slytherin!
Lily- Yeah, so?
Sirius- She's EVIL!
Ivy- Oh yes. I'm just the Devil in Disguise aren't I Lily?
Ivy was somewhat amused. She knew this couldn't lead to anything bad. Lily was defending her.
Lily- Oh yes, Ivy. Your sooooo bad!

Sirius- But..But...
Remus- Oh Sirius give it up! She's Lily's best friend, and I highly doubt that Lily would befriend a demon child!

Sirius- Fine then! pout
Sirius sat back and looked like a spoiled child who was denied something for the first time. Ivy had to giggle. It was pretty cute. Remus was pretty talkative the rest of the trip. James spent the rest of the train ride looking at Lily. Lily was very beautiful, though. Her shoulder length red hair and almond shaped green eyes were very pretty, and her smile was gorgeous. She was tall for her age, and thin. Ivy wished she could be as pretty as Lily. People told Ivy that she was pretty, but she didn't think she was. Ivy was kind of short, being only 5'3, as compared to the other people her age who were averaging 5'6 or higher. She felt really short sitting next to Sirius, who was so much taller than her. Her straight black hair reached her waist and she had big, medium brown eyes. She got a lot of compliments on her nose. She could never understand this but people insisted that her small nose was cute as a button. Her teeth were really straight and white. She took care of those, she felt they were her only beauty.
Lily- Ivy, we need to change into our school robes. Come on.
Ivy- Okay Lily.
They got up and exited the cart to go change. When they were on the way out, they were intercepted by Severus Snape. Someone must have revived him.
