Chapter 4: Getting to Hogwarts and The Interesting Start
"Liv!" said four different voices. Ginny, Ron, Hermione and Harry all were cascading her with hugs as she sat.
"So what's been going on?" Ron asked after the lunch cart had rolled by.
"Eh, nuthin rilly. Jhust Kwidditch hingy. Et waz fun," Liv said with a mouth full of Cauldron Cake. Harry snorted and looked away, Ginny and Hermione looked appalled and Ron seemed ignorant to the entire thing.
"Cool."
She saw Draco walk up.
"We've got company," Liv said as the door slid open.
"Well, Weasel one, Weasel two, Scarhead and Mudblood. Oh and can't forget the traitor, Watson," Malfoy smirked.
"And what am I a traitor to?" Liv asked cooly.
"Purebloods. You're a blood traitor, just like the Weasels," Malfoy replied.
"Oh, well, like I said blood doesn't matter. Wizards would have died out if it weren't for us marrying Muggles. So it's an even trade off."
"Whatever."
"And what about you, Malfoy?"
"What about me?"
"Who is it you're with now?"
"I don't know what you're talking about," Draco sneered and stalked off.
"What was that all about?" asked Ginny.
Liv shrugged and felt a twinge of guilt at lying to her friends but ignored it.
------------
"Draco, we have to find Hermione!" Ivy whined clinging to Draco, who just looked away as students he knew stared.
"Well, go find her, I'll look for Crabbe and Goyle..." Draco muttered.
"Alright then..." Ivy said giving Draco a kiss on the cheek. Several students looking through their windows laughed at him. He blushed a bit and walked quickly past her. Ivy smiled like a preppy perky little girl and walked down the aisle and finally found the compartment Hermione was in. She peeked in and saw Liv. She narrowed her eyes and slid open the compartment door.
"Ivy!" Hermione said, giving her a hug. She hugged her back, and then sat down next to her.
"You remember Liv?" Harry asked pointing to the girl sitting in front of Ivy.
"Yes." Ivy said sourly, "I do." Hermione nodded happily ignoring the tone of Ivy's voice. Liv gave Ivy a smug look and turned happy again.
"So, how were things with you and Draco?" Ivy asked giving a devilish smirked at Liv. Ron gave Liv an odd look, but she returned the grin and said,
"Well, I don't know what you are talking about, I've been visiting a friend in America for the last few days. But from what I've come to understand most of the time you and him were making out in his room." Proudly, Liv smiled. Ivy turned red, and defeated, sunk low in her seat.
"You, and Draco?" Hermione said, her eyes open wide.
"Well..." Ivy said, knowing her defeat, "Yes..." Her voice trailed off and Harry gave her the 'woah' look he had given her when she went out with Marcus Flint.
"Harry, you understand..." Liv said smiling. "That Ivy has a thing for Slytherin's, especially Draco and all his little friends. She seems to prefer them over people like you, respectable honest people."
"But Liv, I thought you fancied Malfoy a bit?" Ron asked, concerned.
"She does." Ivy said smirking.
"We're just aquatinted, we were friends in our younger years, before I came here." Liv said a bit angry that Ivy was trying to blow her cover. "We're not having a disgusting affair like Ivy and him are." To change the subject, Hermione spoke up.
"Well, how was your summer, Ivy?"
"Great." she said. Hermione realized quickly she almost started the conversation again then changed the subject again.
"Liv, how are your cars?" she asked.
"Um.... fine... they're cars," Liv said eyeing Ivy angrily. Suddenly the compartment door slid open and there stood Draco.
"Draco!" Ivy said forgetting her friends were there and leaped on him, putting her arms around his neck and planting a kiss on his lips. His entrance once again received a suddenly hostile environment with many rolled eyes at Ivy's public display of affection. Ron raised his eyebrows, and Liv made gagging noises and was putting her finger in her mouth acting like she was about to throw up. Draco squeezed in next to Ivy, who was so snuggled up to Draco it bothered them all.
"Draco, just get over it and go along with it. The girl can't help herself," Liv said laughing. The only one who laughed along with her was Ron. Ivy gave him an angry glare. She then smiled and gave Draco a long kiss. Hermione gave a weird disgusted look and turned her head. Draco kissed back, putting his hand around her waist.
"This is getting disturbing." Liv said. Draco broke the kiss and pulled away. He then put his head on the compartment door and sighed.
"About an hour and we're there." Hermione said under her breath.
"Great!" Liv said smiling. Ivy shook her head and laid her head on Draco's chest. Liv groaned as the two started kissing again.
"Anyone else seriously creeped out that Malfoy, a Slytherin, is making out with Ivy, a Ravenclaw, as well as Hermione's cousin?" Ginny asked.
"Me," was the simultaneous response from everyone. Well everyone that is except for Draco and Ivy and Hermione.
"OK," Liv said turning to the two, "If you're gonna keep sucking face like that, get your own private compartment."
That tore them apart and with a disgusted look thrown at Liv by Ivy, she stood and pulled Draco by the hand out to somewhere else.
Draco however threw a pleading look to Liv and a disgusted look to the others, as he was drug out.
-------------------------
As the students took their seats in the Great Hall for the Welcoming Feast, Ron had a revelation.
"This is the last time we have a Welcoming Feast," he said. He paused for a while and said,"Yes!".
Hermione and Liv gave him strange looks and sat down.
"Did you hear about what happened on the train?" Parvati asked as she leaned over Seamus.
Harry, Ron and Hermione looked puzzled as Lavender clarified.
"Whom Malfoy was seen with?"
"Oh, yeah. My cousin," Hermione said.
Liv gave a loud false cough that sounded a lot like "Slut."
She received an appraising look from Seamus, Dean, Ron, Harry, Ginny, Lavender and Parvati, but a patronising and shocked look from Hermione.
"What?" Liv asked innocently. "She is one."
At the murmurs and nods of agreement from the others, Hermione dropped her argument.
"Yeah, they, Malfoy and Ivy, chose our compartment as a snogging place. That is until Liv told them to beat it," said Harry.
Once again Liv received appraising looks.
---------------------
"Ah, final time for timetables," Ron said as they sat to breakfast.
Are you gonna say that every time we do something?" Harry asked.
"Every time that's the last, mate," Ron replied.
What have we got, Liv?" Hermione asked.
"Eh, boring. Today we have Potions with the Slytherins, then Care of Magical Creatures with the Slytherins, tomorrow we have Transfiguration with the Slytherins and Defense Against the Dark Arts with..." Liv read off.
"Slytherin," Harry Ron and Hermione supplied dully.
"Ravenclaw," said Liv with a shrug.
"Speaking of Ravenclaws, here comes one now," said Harry with the least bit of interest possible.
"Ivy," Hermione said as her cousin approached. Liv purposely made no eye contact or said anything to Ivy, she had something planned.
"Hermione! Harry, Ron," she said giving each a small nod, completely ignoring Liv.
"What's up, Ivy?" Hermione asked.
"Nothing much."
"Then why'd you come over here?" Ron asked.
"Just to kill some time before... DRACO!" Ivy said, and then screeched the name of the Slytherin that had just entered the Great Hall.
She bounded up to him, with many eyes following her, and kissed him squarely on the mouth.
This practice continued everyday. On the day of the first Hogsmeade trip, it was no different.
As four Gryffindors walked down the main lane of Hogsmeade, Liv saw a group enter the Three Broomsticks.
"Uh, Harry, Ron I heard something about a new Quidditch shop, want to check it out?" she said as Hermione rolled her eyes.
"I'll be in the bookshop," she said.
As the four went their separate ways, Liv told Harry and Ron a plan she had, that they agreed with.
------------
A lone student sat in the Three Broomsticks, sipping her cocktail. She didn't notice the cloaked and hooded figures walk through the door.
