Ivy Weasley looked out the window. She was in a compartment all by herself. The compartment with her siblings in it was full. She sighed. All of her family expected her to be in Gryffindor like the rest of them. But she was scared of what would happen if she wasn't on Gryffindor.
She was almost so distracted by this she didn't notice a person standing in the compartment doors.
"Hello?" The girl asked she had long blond hair.
Ivy suddenly snapped back to reality.
"Are you okay?" She asked again.
"I'm fine." Ivy replied.
"May I sit here?" She asked. Ivy nodded in response.
"I'm Blair Malfoy." She said.
Malfoy. Ivy realized the last name. Her siblings told her all about it. The drama Draco Malfoy put them through. But something was different about this Malfoy. She seems kind and nervous.
"I'm Ivy Weasley."
Ivy knew Blair realized he last name too.
"Yes. I know our sibling's rivalries." Ivy spoke.
"Yeah...Sorry about my brother." Blair asked.
"That's okay. Sorry about my siblings." Ivy said.
"Well, why don't we be friends? It won't matter what house was gonna be in. We can try and end this whole rivalry between our families." Blair explained.
"Why not?" Ivy smiled as she and Blair shook hands.
The compartment doors then opened again. A tall girl and a boy were there this time.
"May me and my brother sit here?" She asked.
"Go ahead." Ivy said.
"Thank you." The girl said.
Ivy realized she was wearing Slytherin and she wore a green uniform with a badge that said "Pefrect" on it.
"I'm Kristina Smith. My 5th year. Prefect of Slytherin." She said.
"My brother Conroy here is in his 1st year as well."
Conroy waved to the two. He obviously looked embarrassed.
"I'm Blair Malfoy." Spoke Blair.
"I'm Ivy."
"Nice to meet you too." Blair smiled.
"PAIGE WILLER!" A voice screamed on the Hogwarts express making the four jump.
A Blue Jay zoomed by and a boy who looked like he was in 5th year followed.
"Why is he chasing a bird?" Spoke Conroy.
"Maybe it's an Animagus." Kristina replied.
'Animagus' a word Ivy didn't recognize and by the looks of Blair's and Conroy's face, it looked like they didn't know either. Ivy just stayed quiet so she didn't sound stupid asking.

The train finally stopped late in the evening at what looked like Hogwarts.
Everyone was getting out at once so it as hard for Ivy to stay together with Blair, Conroy, Kristina.
Ivy and the other 1st years had to go on boats. Eventually, they were inside the school and Ivy was amazed.
After McGonagall's speech. It was the sorting ceremony.
"Iris Abe!"
A girl with short brown hair in two buns when up she looked nervous and happy.
The sorting hat sat there for a moment. Confused whether to put the girl in Ravenclaw or Gryffindor.
"Gryffindor!" It finally said.
Next, it was Conroy.
"Ravenclaw!" It said and he went to sit down.
Next was Blair Malfoy.
"Hufflepuff!" It said.
Blair looked surprised but happily sat down at Hufflepuff.
"Paige Willer!" It said.
A girl walked up. Ivy recognized the name from when they were on the Hogwarts Express.
"Ravenclaw!" It said.
"Arul Abe!"
"Slytherin"
Finally, it was Ivy's turn.
"Ivy Weasley!"
Ivy walked up she sat on the chair and the sorting hat was placed on her head.
"Another Weasley? But something seems different..."
"Slytherin!" It said.
In a matter of seconds, Ivy's whole life at Hogwarts fell apart. She felt her self falling. She had collapsed.
