Hi I'm Ivy Barrows

Also just known as Draco's bestfriend. It pisses me off sometimes that that's all I'm known as, but whatever. 

I'm going back to Hogwarts after transferring back from Uagadou

 [Wag-a-doo]. The most reputable of the African schools, Uagadou specializes in Astronomy, Alchemy, and Self-Transfiguration. Due to cultural differences and differences in magical practices, students of Uagadou can cast spells without the use of a wand. Many spells can be cast by simply pointing a finger or using hand gestures, so that suggests that wands are just a conduit to help wizards focus their magic. 

My parents somehow got me into the school because they wanted me to learn to use magic with my hands and not just a wand. But after a few years there, I got to transfer back to Hogwarts for my early birthday gift! 

We had to move to Africa to attend school so I hadn't seen Draco in such a long time, I had never forgotten him, of course, because we called each other at least 3 times a week

You're probably wondering why you didn't just use magic to come and see each other or visit in the summer

I often got into arguments with my parents because I thought a lot about why too

My parents thought it was too dangerous

I wanted to rebel but my parents did everything to stop me 

And Draco just didn't think he was powerful enough to make it over to me without getting hurt or landing in a desert

We've known each other since we were babies. Our moms are best friends. 

 My Manor is right beside Draco's and his window faced mines, so I knew he had to miss me a lot and think about me often... Right?

I've always imagined going back to Hogwarts but I never thought it would happen, Main reason we had fled to Africa was that my Mother didn't want Voldemort to be associated with her only daughter.

I didn't care about him, I had only convinced my mother to go back after endless days of sobbing and yelling and not eating to make a statement

 I stayed at Hogwarts long enough to know that Draco and Harry didn't get along but I knew Draco wouldn't care about Potter on my arrival. He always put me first

that's why I loved him...In a brotherly way of course 

I had occasional phone calls with Draco and text messages but he was always occupied when we texted, sometimes he would talk to me about other girls and had me give him advice on what to say while flirting because he didn't want to sound cheesy

Our call lasted a whole 3 hours! We never video called because i Had an android and him an iPhone 

I was scared to go back..... Well he was often different from me in school Because I was a Hufflepuff

Yes, I'm a Hufflepuff.  

My parents and Draco's Parents were upset I wasn't in Slytherin or Ravenclaw Because they believed those to be my traits... 

And I remember being devastated, I cried for days and Draco stayed with me to comfort me, and Him, Him of all people Taught me to love which house I was in.

 He admitted that he always wanted to be a Gryffindor but he wanted to make his family happy.

Draco didn't seem like the type but he cared a lot about his family. He always tried making his father proud and he cared for his mom as much as he could.

We were now 15 and would both be turning 16 

 I didn't tell him when I was coming, I guess that would be His early birthday gift. 

Oh, I've yet to describe myself!?

I have platinum blonde hair and my aesthetic is all over the place

I dress and act how I like and what I feel like

So one day ill be wearing bright clothes and crop tops and the next day I would be wearing sweaters that are too big for me and all black or sometimes I'll even look like a librarian

So I'm basically the girl whose style is to wear all styles

I have blue eyes and wavy hair

I look intimidating but I'm nice and everyone assumes that I am anyway because I am in Hufflepuff

But you also shouldn't  assume because if I were to use the right terms I have a lot of 'Slytherin' in me

I can be very mean at times and that's one of the reasons I stand out from other Hufflepuffs

Also, Hufflepuff's are known to make great friends with Slytherins but sometimes I wonder if I and Draco would've been friends if our parents hadn't known each other

"IVY!"

"Yes!?"

"IVY!!" 

"I said yes!?"

"IVY!!!!!"

OH MY GOD.

I walked downstairs to an empty living room...

The whole house was empty

"Yes, what is it?" I asked my mom

"What time did you get home yesterday?" 

I froze

"After you went to bed..." I tried saying

"But what time!" 

"....Around the time the sun rose" 

"IVY!"

"Mom come on! It was my Goodbye party! I can't leave earlier than everyone else!"

My mom glared at me

"I'll let this one slide"

I hugged her and she smiled

My dad walked into the room

"Goodmorning Dad"

 "Goodmorning my loves, Get ready we leave in five minutes "
