If some people had heard the rumor of there being two Lily Evan's on board, it was certainly proven as two red headed, green eyed, sixteen year olds walked off the train with their arms linked together. They chatted as students stared curiously at the identical duo.

"Will I have to take the boats?" Ivy asked her younger sister for guidance, to which Lily nodded in response.

"While you are a sixth year, you are also, in a sense, a first year." Lily said. "And Hogwarts looks amazing from the water, I wouldn't want you to miss out on that." Ivy nodded at her words.

"First' years! O'ver here!" A gruff voice shouted, Ivy grinned knowing exactly who it is. She broke off from Lily with a wave and headed off into the direction of the half-giant whom she had heard many stories about.

"Hello Hagrid!" She came to a stop in front of a large man with wild hair, "I'm Ivy Evans." Hagrid looked down at Ivy and smiled.

"O'my, you look just like Lily!" He said, gaining more students' attention. 

Ivy laughs, "Well, we are twins." Some students gape, others still look confused, then there's those who are convinced it's a prank.

She boarded a boat with two other first years, and paying no mind to the eleven year old's gazes, she allowed her eyes to look around in fascination. As the boats started moving she eagerly sat forward and awaited the sight of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

And as it came into view, gasps were heard, Ivy being one of them. The castle windows were bright, much brighter than Durmstrangs' castle. The lake reflected all this light as Ivy gaped at the castle. Tall towers stood, one must be where the Gryffindor's reside, Ivy thinks, remembering Lily's description. Ivy can hardly capture every detail of this memorizing Castle.

The boats stop and everyone slowly gets out, their eyes still glued to their new home. Ivy wanders along Hagrid's side as they follow a worn path up to the doors. He knocks with a wide grin, and greets the woman who opens the wide doors. The woman is easily recognizable as Professor Mcgonagall. Her dark emerald robes, her brown hair in a tight bun, and stern gaze were key details about the Head of Gryffindor House and deputy Headmistress.

She thanks Hagrid and leads the first years and Ivy to a small empty chamber off the hall where she begins her speech on the four Houses of Hogwarts; Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Ivy catches Minerva's eye and slyly grins, causing the respected Professor to raise her brow in slight amusement before walking out of the chamber.

Ivy runs her hand through her hair and fixes her colorless uniform. She looks around at the first years and bends down in front of a shorter boy who was nervously trying to fix his uniform.

"Here," she smiles softly, "Let me help." She straightens out of robe with her wand and refastens his cloak correctly. He nods his grateful thanks, struggling to calm his nerves.
