"it does not do to dwell on our dreams and forget to live."— a. dumbledore
preface;
The first time Ivy experienced death was with her dog. As a little girl, she had anxiety about death. Always was she asking, "Papa, what if I die? Papa, what if you die? Papa, what if Bruno dies?" Bruno had been Ernest Bardot's dog, which he then passed onto his daughter, Ivy Bardot, who Bruno had protected with his life. The puppy never let Ivy out of his sight. Wherever she went, he was quite literally half a step behind her.
Ivy was a wild child, quite a rebellious one at that. The girl never sat still, never listened— though, she would always say that she just "didn't hear you, Papa!'
With that knowledge, it's best to keep in mind, just how unruly this child truly was. Many times had she grabbed her father's wand and hid it from him, sitting on the couch and eating crisps as she watched him run around the small home, looking for said hidden wand. Many times had the young girl cut Bruno's hair, leaving him almost bald on his left buttock.
It left Bruno quite cold at times when using the bathroom.
Ivy never meant any harm though. She never meant for someone to get hurt, nor did she mean for someone to die.
One day, five year old Ivy was running throughout the cottage, father's wand in her hand as she casted spells that she'd heard her father chant before.
She pointed it at the kitchen door she could never open without using all of the strength in her five year old body.
