Chapter one:The Beginning
Ivy Valentine sat all alone in an empty compartment.The Hogwarts Express had just started off on the long journey that awaited.Ivy laid her head against the wall next to the window,propped her legs up onto the seat,and listened to the rain.She thought of how the rain was like her.Exciting yet sad.Romantic yet depressing.She listened as her long,straight,blonde hair fell into her closing eyes.
It was raining so hard,Ivy could hear it pounding on the rooftop.It sounded like a thousand crystal beads falling from the midnight sky.Ivy was so excited.She ran into her mothers room and started screaming "Mommy!I can't believe im going to be 5 years old!" Ivys mother was putting on her white stockings. "I know!I am so proud of you!Your growing up so fast!Now run upstairs and wait for mommy." Ivy ran up the stairs of their old,two-story,farmhouse.She ran into her room and jumped into her bed.She sat and waited for her mother to come up.
Ivy's mother walked in dressed in a short blue mini skirt,a tight,white,tanktop,long,white stockings,blue,zip up, thigh high boots,and bunny ears.It was Halloween night and Ivys mother was getting ready for "work".Her mother walked over to her bed,sat down,and sang to Ivy.She sang "The River Lullaby" by Amy Grant.
Hush now, my baby
Be still love, don't cry
Sleep like you're rocked by the stream
Sleep and remember
My lullaby
And I'll be with you when you dream
Drift on a river
That flows through my arms
Drift as I'm singing to you
I see you smiling
So peaceful and calm
And holding you, I'm smiling, too
Here in my arms
Safe from all harm
Holding you, I'm smiling, too
Hush now, my baby
Be still, love, don't cry
Sleep like you're rocked by the stream
Sleep and remember this river lullaby
And I'll be with you when you dream
I'll be with you when you dream
She kissed Ivy on the head and stood up.She walked towards the door and watched as Ivy turned on her side and faced the wall.A tear slid down her cheek.She sat a package on the dresser next to the door.She whispered "Goodbye,my sweet child." She shut the door after turning off the lights and left.
Ivy awoke hours later to screaming and a stench of alcohol.She walked downstairs and watched has her father and mother argued. "Where the Hell have you been?" Her father yelled at her mother. "You know perfectally well where i have been." Ivys mother answered calmly. "Don't you talk to me that way you stupid slut!" He then pushed her against the wall and punched her.Ivy wimpered and her father turned toward her and raised his hand.Her mother took Ivy into her arms and ran towards the lake.She ran into the water and pushed Ivys head under and wouldn't let her up.Ivy heard a loud bang like a gunshot and then the weight came off of her.She came up and looked into the eyes of her felt herself being dragged out of the water and then she was brought back to the house.She was sat on her parents bed and her father started taking of her wet clothes.She could see the hatred in her fathers eyes.He jumped on top of Ivy and pulled off all his own clothes.He said coldly "If i can't have your mother anymore,I will have you instead." He raised his hand and...
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Ivy awoke to two boys and a girl staring down at her.The girl asked "Are you okay?" Ivy put on a reasurring smile and said, "Yes.Of course.It was just a dream." Ivy looked out of the window once again.She caught out of the corner of her eye the three eyeing her oddly. She asked "What are you staring at?" She smiled."Well,you look a lot like Draco Malfoy." Ron replied. "Draco Malfoy?Who is Draco Malfoy?'' "Me." Ivy looked up to see and very handsome young man with platinum blonde hair and silver eyes,much like her own. "So.Pothead,weasel,and mudblood.But who do we have here?" He looked at her. "Another mudblood?" Ivy looked confused. ''Mudblood?'' Hermione answered "Its not a word you would hear in a pleasant conversation.It means a magical person born to muggle parents.Non-magical people.Are your parents muggles?" Ivy answered "Yes." Draco looked at her disgusted. "Oh Great." Ivy looked at him and stood up. "My names Ivy Valentine by the way. Harry said "My names Harry Potter." "Ron Weasley." "Hermione Granger." She said "Well nice to meet ya'll," they all looked confused because of the way she talked,"Well at least some of you."She looked at Draco.
She then tried to leave but Draco wouldn't let her by.He would hold up his arm or move closer to the frame of the compartment door.Ivy moved back and forth trying to leave."Move it asshole!" She screamed at him. He said "Don't u dare talk to me like that you filthy mudblood!" Ron and Harry stood up from where the three were sitting and started to come to Ivy's defense.She held her arm up and looked at Draco.She stood face to face to him.So close that Draco could see the tiny specks of red forming in her silver eyes.She pushed him rather violently and he pushed her right back.She almost fell over but caught her balance.He extended his arm back to the door frame,still blocking her way.Ivy walked up,extremley mad.She grabbed his arm,twisted it behind his back,put her foot on his back,and pushed him to the ground,still holding on to his arm.His nose touched the floor and he couldn't move.The rest looked astonished as this petite young woman held this strong man to the ground. "Don't you dare touch me ever again." She said in such a low,dangerous tone that it made shivers run up Draco's back.She let go and left.
Ivy walked until she found another empty compartment.She shut the door and sat by the window.She sighed.She knew that this was going to be difficult but she was extremly happy that she would be gone.She knew that he wouldn't be there.Neither of them would.She sighed as she thought of her boyfriend.He was so violent.Just like her father.He was the only guy she dated after...She didnt want to think about it.She wanted to be happy.'At least i'll be safe from them both.' She then heard a shrill screech. "DRAAAACOOOOOO!WHERE ARE YOU DRACIE POO?''She then heard footsteps running.She laughed and looked out of the window.The compartment door swung open.She looked up at Malfoy."Oh Great.What do you want idiot?" She asked him.He walked over to her and grabbed her by the wrists.He swung her against the wall. "I told you not to talk to me like that!" He raised his hand but stopped when he saw Ivy's eyes close and her head turn.She looked as though,he thought,like she was waiting for him to strike her.Like she was just going to take it.He let go and backed up.She looked at him with questioning eyes.She looked down and walked towards the door.Before she left she turned and looked at him. "See ya later,Malfoy." He watched her leave.He sat on the bench and thought about her eyes.He saw sadness,pain, and hatred.He looked at the rain.
Ivy walked down the hall but stopped when she saw a girl with short black hair.Ivy said "Are you looking for someone?" The girl looked at her and said "Actually,yes.Have you seen Draco Malfoy?" Ivy smiled rather devishly. "Why yes i have.He is in the compartment at the end of the hall on the left." Pansy set off down to the compartment,looked in,and cried "DRACO!THERE YOU ARE!"She jumped at him and Ivy laughed when she heard Draco yell "NOOOOO!" She walked to the compartment that the three people were in when she woke up.
She stopped in front of it and came in.She sat down and took her cat,which she forgot about,and started petting him.Hermione said "Awwwww.Whats her name?" Ivy looked up.She smiled and said "This is going to sound weird but her name is Nightmare." Nightmare was a black,Ragdoll Cat. "She is differant bacause most Ragdoll cats,which is the breed she is,have more than one color.She is just pure black except for a spot behind her ear." She turned the cats head a bit and showed them a spot behind the ear that was white.It was in the shape of a rose with one thorn. She said "You know what the weird part is?I have a birthmark behind my ear in the same shape." She turned her head,lifted her hair,and showed them it. It was exactly the same.She smiled. "So tell me about all of you." Ivy listened closely to the entire story of all three of them.She listened especially carefully to Harry's story.She thought it was so sad.They learned that Ivy was from a small city in Georgia which is in the U.S.A.She didnt tell them much about her life except for that she had an older half brother,who was in the military, and an older half sister who she didn't really like.The rest of the ride to Hogwarts was spent just talking.
