Ivy - Hey this is Ivy! I'm just writing to let you know that along with Dom we're quite disappointed by the amount of reviews we received for the latest chapters :( Please review! Dom said they boost her confidence and encourage her to write!

Dom – Yep, that's true! But I won't be one of those people who say they want at least five reviews to get the next chapter. Oh no. I want TEN! Joking! I don't care how many reviews I get, I will still write, but I want you to know that I love it when you review!

ALSO Sorry it took me so long to update. My laptop broke

DISCLAIMER!

No matter how much I wish I did, I do not own harry potter or any characters/ Songs/ Poems etc. you might recognise.

The five marauders

Chapter 25

And so I was locked in the Hospital Wing once again. Fun.

So now I've not only missed Christmas, but also New Year's Eve! Why is life so unfair? Is this life's punishment for all those pranks I've pulled? Or maybe someone is trying to wipe the smile of my face? Well, it's not working. I promised myself never to let anyone or anything get me down, and I'm keeping to that promise.

James, Remus and Sirius were a great help as well. They were constantly cracking jokes or telling me funny stories. They spent all their spare time with me, keeping me company. I couldn't wish for better friends. It's a shame though that Peter wasn't here. The day after I got attacked, I got a letter from him saying that his mum wouldn't let him come back to Hogwarts no matter how much he begged.

The boys told me that the Slytherins who attacked me have had quite a lot of points deducted, and got in so much trouble, that it was impossible for my friends to explain. They were all an inch from getting expelled. Apparently Slughorn was in a rage when he talked to them. His yells could be heard all over the castle.

The boys told me that everyone who was in Hogwarts knew what had happened, since it turned out that the Ravenclaw girl who was in the Hospital Wing when I was brought in, Rita Skeeter I think, was a terrible gossip girl.

I spent so much time in the hospital wing and with madam Pomfrey, that I started calling her by her first name. At first it annoyed her, but then she got used to it. But she still calls me Miss White instead of Jamie.

"'Morning Poppy!" I exclaimed on Thursday the 4th, after being in the Hospital Wing for around a week.

"Good morning Miss White," She greeted.

"When will I be allowed out again?" I asked, like I do every morning.

She'd always reply, "When I say you can," but not today.

"I think you'll be fit to go in about two days, once the students arrive," She said, examining me, "Your scars are disappearing quickly, and there's no trace of anything else that would need to be cured. You are healthy enough to go, but I enjoy your company too much to let you out just yet."

With that she patted me on the head and walked back into her office.

I frowned a little, but then lit up again when my best friends walked in through the door. I've had company all the time! If it wasn't my friends, it was my brothers and Ivy. But I wasn't annoyed. I enjoyed the constant attention.

"bonjour mademoiselle," Sirius bowed.

"hola te pierdas," Greeted James.

"ciao perdere," Grinned Remus.

I thought quickly.

"cześć chłopcy," I greeted in Polish. I once had a Polish friend who taught me some basic words in Polish. I also had many other friends from all over the world who did the same, so I knew that Sirius spoke in French, James in Spanish and Remus in French. I also knew they all said 'Hello miss', while I replied 'hello boys'. Yep. I love languages.

They looked at me confused and I said, "It's Polish."

They all nodded.

"So what's with the change of language? English got boring? We can speak in accents instead if you wish," I said the last part in a perfect Scottish accent.

"If you say so hun," Sirius replied with an American accent.

"françaises pour moi," James said, kissing my hand.

"Guess that'll leave me with Italian," Remus concluded with a perfect Italian accent.

I laughed at my best friends as they started to have a conversation using their accents.

"Ok enough with that!" I said with my normal accent, "Guess what! Poppy said I can leave the Hospital Wing in two days!"

They all cheered, making Poppy run out of her office to yell at them.

"Oh come on Poppy! They're just happy that they'll have me back soon!" I exclaimed.

"Hopefully after you leave you want be back here too soon," She muttered.

"But you just said you like my company!"

She rolled her eyes, smiled and went back to her office.

"Make up your mind you crazy woman," I muttered, earning snorts of laughter from my friends.


Victor POV

I felt guilty of what had happened. My little sister was attacked when I was in Hogwarts. I should have looked after her better.

Mum was highly worried when she found out what happened to Jamie, but she didn't blame us. She said we had other things on our minds.

But we didn't really. All we did was sit and chat with Ivy. Well… I listened to my lovesick brother chat with her.

I don't understand how no one noticed how much they fancy one another. All those smiles, all those chats, all those laughs, all those glances.

Seriously, if they don't get together any time soon, I will have to make them, I thought that day during breakfast.

Myself, I've never seen Ivy as more then an older sister, but Mike has fancied her since we've met. He keeps on saying that she wouldn't want to go out with a younger guy, which is why he wont ask her out. I think that's stupid. It's not like the age gap between them is too great! It's just a bloody year, not ten! And anyway, it's obvious that she fancies him back. He doesn't see it but I do. I've caught her staring at him many times during our school years. She won't admit her feelings, but they're obvious. And also, she's a bloody VERITATEM-INVESTIGATOR! She would know how much he fancies her straight away if she just read his mind! But no! She's like a bloody loyal Hufflepuff or Gryffindor. She promised she'll never read our minds without our permission, and she has to keep that promise. I honestly never knew why she was sorted into Ravenclaw. She was never one for studying, she was no where near being top of her class (Except in DADA) and she was always mucking about, like my sister. She would fit much better into Gryffindor, since she's so brave, or into Hufflepuff, since she's highly loyal.

I admit, Ivy is one hot girl. She has the most angelic face, the most beautiful and shiny hair, and the most wonderful and slim body, but as I've said before, she's like a sister. I would never think of her like my brother does.

Jamie was Ok last time we checked. She was laughing and annoying Poppy. Mike and I were completely glad that she didn't suffer from depression or anything of these sorts after being kidnapped and attacked. She was her usual self, and often acted as if nothing ever happened, and she was in the Hospital Wing for the most normal reason.

Ivy did say that Jamie would be quite immune to pain, but I was highly surprised when Jamie told us what happened to her those few days ago. How the Slytherins cut up her body, creating deep gashes all over it, and all she felt was a slight tingling. This could come in handy in the future. After all, she did say many times that she'd want to be a professional Quidditch player or an Auror when she's older, and not feeling pain would come in handy for both.

It was two days before Mike and I had to leave. The two of us sat in the chamber by Ivy's office where we were residents for the past week.

Mike and I were having a little verbal fight over his feelings and whether he should act upon them.

"You've bloody fancied that woman for almost ten years! You have to do something about it!" I exclaimed.

"I don't want to ruin our friendship!"

"I don't want to ruin our friendship," I mocked, "Michael! It's so obvious Ivy feels the same way for you!"

"Well I haven't noticed."

"You must be blind then! She loves you, just like you love her!" I yelled.

"I wouldn't call it love yet," He muttered.

"Yet? So you think you can grow to really fall in love with her?"

He nodded shyly.

"Then do something about it! If you want Ivy to love you back, you must tell her how you feel! She'll find out anyway, and don't you think it would be better if she found out by having you tell her, then by having her read it out of your mind?"

He sighed, and put his head in his hands.

"Fine. I'll do it," He looked up at me, "But how? How do I ask her out?"

I thought about it for a second, and was just about to answer, when a feminine voice beat me to it.

"Just ask. I'm sure it'll go well," The bronze haired beauty replied.


Ivy POV

I was just heading down for breakfast and was about to get the twins to come with me, but I heard yells coming from the chamber next to my room, and I straight away knew that my two best friends were fighting again. I was going to carry on walking, and let them sort it out, but I had to stop to eavesdrop when I heard my name being said.

"-Ivy feels the same way for you!" The voice I recognised as Victor's yelled.

I don't know why, but I could always tell the boys apart. I didn't know if it had something to do with my talent, but the twins' voices always sounded different than each other to me. It was quite curious.

I snuck closet to the door, and opened it a bit, so I could hear better, and see what was going on.

Inside, Michael was sitting on an armchair and Victor was pacing the room in front of him.

"Well I haven't noticed," Mike muttered.

"You must be blind then! She loves you, just like you love her!" Vic yelled.

"I wouldn't call it love yet," He muttered.

Wait… Are they talking about me?

"Yet? So you think you can grow to really fall in love with her?"

Mike nodded shyly.

Ohmigod Ohmigod Ohmigod Ohmigod Ohmigod! He does fancy me after all!

"Then do something about it! If you want Ivy to love you back, you must tell her how you feel! She'll find out anyway, and don't you think it would be better if she found out by having you tell her, then by having her read it out of your mind?"

Mike let out a loud sigh, and put his head in his hands.

"Fine. I'll do it," He looked up at him, "But how? How do I ask her out?"

I couldn't tell you how happy I was. So Mike does like me just as I like him. I have fancied him for years now! Ever since I was in third year I think… Oh gosh, he's so cute when he doesn't know what to do!

"Just ask. I'm sure it'll go well," I smirked, walking through the door.

Their heads shot up, and they both stared at me, Michael wore a shocked expression, and Victor had triumph written all over his face. I guess he wanted us to end up together then.

"Go on Mike," I urged, "Girls won't wait forever."

I smiled at his uneasiness. I guess he never asked out a girl before.

"Or how about we switch roles," I proposed, and before he got a chance to answer, I asked, "Michael, will you go out with me?"

He looked like he was lost for words for a minute, until Victor slapped him hard on the arm.

"Uhh… Yeah! Sure!" Mike replied, a slight blush creeping to his face.

"Aww! How cute are you two!" Victor exclaimed.

I glared at him, "Ruining our moment, Vic."

"Sorry."

I looked at Mike, who looked a bit dazed. I couldn't help myself. I was scared that they might have been talking about someone else, and he didn't fancy me after all. I had to break the promise.

I looked into his mind, and what I heard brought a smile to my face.

Oh God. So maybe I wont be forever alone for the rest of my life. God! I've fancied her for like forever! She asked me out… SHIT! Why couldn't I be brave enough to ask her! She'll think I'm a bloody pussy now! Ok… We're going out then… What the hell am I supposed to do? Should I ask her when and where? Am I supposed to kiss her? Why is this so complicated?

I stepped out of his mind, and closed the distance between us, and hugged him. He stiffened for a minute, but quickly hugged back. He suddenly seemed to get out of his daze, and man up since he asked me, "How about your next Hogsmeade weekend?"

I looked into his eyes, "Sounds perfect."


Jamie POV

I was startled when the next day, the day before I left the Hospital Wing, my brothers came in to say goodbye (Since they were leaving Hogwarts that very day), and one of them was holding my teacher's hand! I raised my eyebrow at Mike, who seemed really happy to be walking, hands linked, with an awfully smiley Ivy Brooke. He grinned at me, and winked.

Victor leaned down to give me a hug, and whispered, "She asked him out last night."

She asked him? Well my bro's a pussy then, if he couldn't ask a girl out.

When Michael leaned down to do the same, I whispered into his ear, "Nice choice. I totally approve."

He puttered a very silent thanks, and took Ivy's hand once again.

They make such an adorable couple, I thought.

We sat in the Hospital Wing, talking for around an hour, but then my brothers had to set off to Hogsmeade, from where they were apparating back to Brazil. They gave me their last hugs, and left me alone, once again.

But I wasn't alone for long.

My three friends entered the Hospital Wing not even five minutes after Mike, Vic and Ivy left.

"One more day!" Sirius rejoiced.

"I know!" I exclaimed, "One more day till I can get out of this bloody bed and not have Poppy screaming her head off at me! And we'll get to see Pete and Lils again!"

"No offence hon, but I don't really care about your beloved Lily. But I bet James does," Sirius said, earning a punch on the arm from James.

"Do you realise you're going to be the centre of attention now?" Remus asked.

I smiled broadly, "Yay Attention!"

"You won't be liking the fame too much, I bet," James commented.

"Oh sure, because you know so bloody much about being famous," I said, "And anyway, if I'll be famous, so will the rest of The Marauders!"

"Go Fame!" The three boys exclaimed, making me laugh.

"So are you feeling well tonight?" Sirius asked.

I rolled my eyes, "I'm feeling completely and utterly normal. I just want to get out of this blasted place!"

"You will tomorrow, Miss White," Poppy said, walking out of her office.

"Sure thing Poppy!" I exclaimed.

She rolled her eyes, and left the Hospital Wing.

I waited for a minute, and then hopped out of my bed.

"What the hell are you doing?" Remus asked with an amused expression, when I started running around the whole Hospital Wing.

"Running around! I have too much energy stored! I need to get rid of it!" I yelled, stopping the running, and starting the push ups.

I did about three, when I was joined by two other people.

"What are you doing?" I asked James and Sirius.

"I'm checking to see if I can do more push ups then my favourite girl," Sirius replied.

"Four, Five, Six…" James counted.

"Nine, Ten, Eleven," I counted.

I heard the door to the Hospital Wing open, but I didn't stop my exercise.

I heard a loud sigh.

"Not again. Miss White, would you kindly return to your bed?" Poppy begged.

"Sorry Pops, I'm a bit busy," I replied, "Fifteen, Sixteen…"

Another sigh, and I was pulled into my bed by an invisible force.

"HEY!" I yelled at the medi-witch, who was now putting away her wand.

"Apologies, Miss White, but I had to move onto drastic measures. Mr Black, Mr Potter, should I force you two to stop, or will you obey me when I ask you to do so?"

The said boys hopped up from the floor, and jumped into their usual seats by my bed.

"Good choice," Poppy said, and walked into her office.
