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!
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.
