️ ️ ️ ️ ️ivy meant it when she said she would die for kairi castle. she meant it, from the BOTTOM OF HER HEART. she meant it so much, she coped with all her weird little things and knew all the dirty things about her. not even the FUN dirty things. nah, she knew the GROSS stuff. and then since the ATTACK, where ivy had signed a deal with the devil, kairi had been. . . SAD.
️ ️
️ ️ ️ ️ ️so, yes. . . ivory would die for kairi. YET, THIS? . . .this was pushing it. ' look at his eyes, gus. he's got crazy eyes. ' august still hadn't spoken much since frank's disappearance─────── or at all in the last three weeks. so now ivy forced him into situations, to force him to SPEAK. she had yet to succeed, but he did look green at the sight of KARKAROFF. . .
️ ️
️ ️ ️ ️ ️' i'm not doing it. ' AH, WORDS. beautiful words from his beautiful face. they were so beautiful she almost forgot that this meant she'd have to give roman the GIFT herself. august didn't even let her argue it, giving her a LOOK she could not describe and sauntering off, at least he looked more. . . ALIVE? it was a small victory. IVY sighed, hoping this really helped kairi.
️ ️
️ ️ ️ ️ ️PERIDOT landed softly back on the slytherin table. roman had been given a wide berth of space even by fellow green-robed students. maybe a GAUNT would have sat with him, or YAXLEY or DOLOHOV, but having to face one KARKAROFF was bad enough. taking in a breath, she thought of BRAVE KAIRI. . . who would finally be able to stop PRETENDING─────── MAYBE.
️
️ ️ ️ ️ ️by the time she allowed herself to think again, her own green eyes stared at a very different green. ' HELLO. ' her training was paying off, because her voice didn't falter. she also trusted she MAY be able to HALT HIM temporarily, if he went feral and decided to attack her in the middle of the great hall. WHAT?! it was UNLIKELY─────── not IMPOSSIBLE.
️ ️
️ ️ ️ ️ ️' it's you, isn't it? it's you she's seeing. ' she's not aware she's being cryptic. she did see kairi at the dungeons twice now, AND going by what XAVIER hinted at and KAIRI's previous questions, ROMAN made sense. if ivy was going to join this war and get herself killed, she'd show kairi she loved her unconditionally. ' since the attack, it's been. . . BAD for her. i love her, so- '
️
️ ️ ️ ️ ️dating karkaroff was BATSHIT NUTS, but. . . ' my gift to you, is what she loves most. HERE. ' it was a ticket. for a night out in london's most haunted places, including accommodation at the tower of london whilst GHOSTS were about. ' she loves history and scary things. you know that, i'm sure. ' and yet, did he look. . . CONFUSED? THEN. . . SHIT. CASS. THERE. AND LEERING?!
️
️ ️ ️ ️ ️UH-OH. FUCK. ivy set the ENVELOPE down, SLOWLY. . .

️ ️ ️ ️ ️ivy considered her earlier words about xander and lorc. she disagreed. ' as someone who knows you all, you'd be in the exact same situation. you're all IDIOTS. ' it warmed her heart that she could say it so FREELY. ' i'm no better, but some shit is just pre-destined, you know? ' ───────she WIPED away at the spill without magic, waving the boy away.
️ ️
️ ️ ️ ️ ️the hufflepuff was still pretending to be wiping away at the spill, so as to avoid looking jamie in the eye. OF COURSE it had been. ivy couldn't very well be USEFUL if shit like this kept happening. ' based on my SPECTACULAR FAIL, what do you think? ' xander and kairi would be awful helpers. sure, they could get people─────── but purely based on LOOKS.
️ ️
️ ️ ️ ️ ️lysander only put in effort in learning to PUNCH, and kairi was always NAPPING─────── traits she loved them both for, but would not suit ivory's new goal in life. BUT JAMIE? a flirting genius. ivy sighed as jamie cleared up the spill, FAILURE a heavy weight. she couldn't FAIL. not anymore. not at this. ' EW. ' ivy made a face. ' YOU? ' . . .what a great start.
️ ️
️ ️ ️ ️ ️ivy huffed again, still not convinced, as her mind wandered to lorc and xander. she did know how THEY made it work. . . ' i already got out of the friendzone with ONE MCLAGGEN, and siblings are your thing. ' . . .and yet, she waved to the bartender, ordering two red cocktails. ' second, you're expecting it. you're great at this SEDUCTION STUFF, thus impossible to TRICK. '
️ ️
️ ️ ️ ️ ️a smile at the bartender, as she passed jamie her own glass. ivy paid, then turned back─────── ' no, i've never used it on josh. not really. ' at least, not to make him LIKE HER. ' i practised with him once or twice, but it doesn't always work when someone already likes you apparently ' ivy made a face, then GIGGLED, before taking a huge sip of RED.
️ ️
️ ️ ️ ️ ️' do you like your drink? ' she asked innocently, setting hers down. ' this makes me think of you every time i drink it, you know? it's red and bold. . . ' a pretty smirk, as green eyes glint. ' ───────i wish i was more like you. you're so yourself, you know? and you always look GORGEOUS. i mean, how do you always manage to have at least LIP GLOSS on? '
️ ️
️ ️ ️ ️ ️DO. NOT. LAUGH. a mantra repeated in her head, as ivy rested an elbow on the bar and leaned her head on it. ' no wonder xander says what he does. i wonder if he's right. . . if you do taste like TEQUILA and something FRUITY. . . ' ivy pouts her lips, staring at the SHINY RED of jamie mclaggen's. she tries to not use the SIREN voice, or that SIREN LOOK. and yet. . .

TOO LITTLE? . . .could she use these skills in a USEFUL way? an array of questions leaves her standing there puzzled, as she holds the cigarette in her hands. ' . . .shouldn't i use what i've got? ' AH─────── that wasn't a DANGEROUS mentality at all. PERIDOT blinks, staring at the boys trying to get to the front of the bar.
️ ️
️ ️ ️ ️ ️it didn't feel good to know they were only doing this because they were under some sort of ENCHANTMENT that ivy had little to NO CONTROL over. TURNING IT OFF? not a problem. and using it? it made something in her feel SATED─────── like she'd been HUNGRY for something, and GOT IT when she spoke her whims. but. . . the HIGH matched the DOWN.
️ ️
️ ️ ️ ️ ️skin was buzzing with some sort of magical whirring that she couldn't describe─────── and as she turned it off to speak to JAMIE, she felt like a different person altogether. maybe. . . MOMENTARILY NUMB, if only for a SPLIT SECOND. ' yeah, i may have cheated. but you'd cheat too, if you were me. ' she gives her the CIGARETTE willingly; she'd never smoked before.
️ ️
️ ️ ️ ️ ️taking a seat, letting her skin and her voice settle back down by focusing on the COLOURS around them, ivy sighed and stared at the smoke that emanated from jamie's lips. ' i'm not sure, i've never not had MAGIC. but. . . i think it's IN ME, in my blood. like, in my DNA, you know? as if i'm just a little bit NOT human. ' THAT WAS A GUESS─────── BECAUSE SIRENS?
️ ️
️ ️ ️ ️ ️' i don't want to register as what i truly am. SIRENS are rare, so they'll just study me like they study VEELAS and HALF-VEELAS. i'd rather NOT be a ministry lab rat. ' nose scrunched at the mere thought, she felt GUILT wash over her as the guys screamed over each other at the BARTENDER─────── growing violent with each other, trying to RUSH, be FIRST.
️ ️
️ ️ ️ ️ ️ivy gulped, touching a hand to her throat as she sat forward. then MOCHA-SKINNED man grabbed her drink from the bar─────── RUSHED BACK, as if in a trance, smiling lovingly at her. ivy's chest rushed with guilt, her voice a NORMAL tone once he reached her. ' oh, thanks. . . mate. you have it. ' she cleared her throat, but he just. . . STARED.
️ ️
️ ️ ️ ️ ️first, she thought he was offended─────── but his face was frozen in CONFUSION. ' no, it. . . it's for you. it HAS to be for you! ' his hands SHOOK, looking confused by his words.

️ ️ ️ ️ ️there was something beautiful in the freedom jamie allowed herself. ivy knew her mother, and where she got it from, but no one wore it quite as BRAVELY as the crazy and infamous jamie mclaggen. if ivy had to do this, had to step so far out of her COMFORT ZONE and become someone else, she was glad that she had jamie's HELP. ' ───────in his FUCKING DREAMS. '
️ ️
️ ️ ️ ️ ️which, to be fair, was probably correct. ivy smiled WARMLY, not letting nerves or stress or BADLY-TIMED feelings stop her from doing what would need to be done. ' he's very weird, and so is LYSANDER. ' truth of it, they'd be better off without the both of them─────── and maybe ivy would one day be SELFLESS enough to completely LET GO. . . MAYBE.
️ ️
️ ️ ️ ️ ️TWINKLING PERIDOT returns to the mocha-skinned man, warmed by the feeling of jamie's hand in hers for a second, before the girl did what she did BEST. and truly, for all the flaws each mclaggen had, they were not TALENTLESS. ivy had to bite her shy smile, HIDE IT, as she watched jamie make putty out of fully grown men. A GIGGLE─────── ivy empties her cup.
️ ️
️ ️ ️ ️ ️ivy doesn't fight jamie when she's pulled into the middle, but she does fight her instincts to GO HOME. awkwardness or even BRO BEHAVIOUR were usually how ivy would flourish in this environment, but right now. . . she needed to be someone else. ' she's right, i've been too good of a girl recently. . . ' and ivy laughs, hearing her voice SHIFT─────── become a MELODY.
️ ️
️ ️ ️ ️ ️the hidden tone reminds her of AUGUST and FRANK. it reminds her of being thirteen, and her mother showing her the dangers of that tone as ivy was forced to jump in a freezing LAKE─────── and she was momentarily away from the MUSIC, the LIGHTS, or the BEAUTIFUL strangers. when the moment passed, they were STARING at her. . . the CRAZY girl.
️ ️
️ ️ ️ ️ ️' sorry, i really like this song. IGNORE THAT. ' a tinkling laugh, and the MEN shifted from staring and into ADORING gazes, the array of brown hues were warm, as if nothing had happened. IVY took a breath, clearing her airways, and a finger motioned slowly for the MOCHA-SKINNED MAN to come closer. ' TYLER, right? ' she'd heard his name- ' ───────fetch me a drink. '
️ ️
️ ️ ️ ️ ️NOT A REQUEST, and he certainly didn't act like it was one, moving almost instantly away from her with a spring in his step. ivy's HEARTBEAT beat erratically, but her face was a BLANK CANVAS, and she looked at the guy to his right. ' you too. ' a fake smile, as she turned to the man on the LEFT. ' . . .AND YOU. ' that last one looked confused─────── YET. . . FOLLOWED.

️ ️ ️ ️ ️it was nice that sanity was not a requirement when one wanted to be friends with any of the MCLAGGENS. . . or MORE. ' boys are easier to get than girls. ' that was the truest fact. ' girls are beautiful and majestic creatures that require art and precision when it comes to seducing them, BUT MEN? ' ivy grimaced. as much as she was very much into men, it was clear which one was the superior species.
️ ️
️ ️ ️ ️ ️' in fact, PRETTY sure i got your brother's attention for the first time because i was eating a hot dog? he's a classy guy. ' whom she LOVES. ' . . .although i'm also pretty sure he thought i was a boy before that? ' and it was a time ivy would return to in a heartbeat. she would take all the scabby knees, baseball caps and scuffed elbows over this mess any day. she would also take that uncomplicated BABY-LOVE over what she felt for him now.
️ ️
️ ️ ️ ️ ️' BIG CUDDLY BEAR? ' ivy mused aloud, eyes narrowed as she remembered being cuddled up in his huge arms, falling asleep to his snores and him getting mad at her for hogging the covers. ' YEP. . . you could say that. but i'm not in a good place for a relationship. he. . . respects it, i guess? ' ivy's eyes roll. ' why is he so understanding, actually? makes my life so HARD. ' and head flops onto the bar, wishing she could DROWN.
️ ️
️ ️ ️ ️ ️in alcohol, in the lake. . . she didn't care. DROWNING would solve all her problems. raising her head, she wished she was DRUNKER. ' you don't have to make up your mind, and neither do i, and the world needs to just. . . I DON'T KNOW, shut up?! ' ivy wanted to lose the plot. actually, ivy wanted to put on pyjamas, take all the make-up off her face, and go see CUDDLY BEAR. but that mean defeat. . . that meant GIVING UP.
️ ️
️ ️ ️ ️ ️the image of frank wipes away all else then, bringing with it a sense of PANIC that she could so easily just give it all up. JOSH and her feelings for him? they were a DISTRACTION. ' i don't want to hurt him, you know? i'm not SLUTTIN' IT up just for fun. i actually want to be useful in fighting these bad guys, since frank can't do it anymore. ' that was only a HALF-TRUTH, yet the sentiment was the same. ivy needed to do it. . . for FRANK.
️ ️
️ ️ ️ ️ ️lips taste her favorite FLAVOR as she sips─────── the one that takes her back to BARCELONA, to her first kiss with josh when they were only fifteen and on a quidditch trip. SANGRIA on her lips, it feels like SACRILEGE to then turn her eyes to the crowd of people around them. ' no LYSANDER, no JOSH. . . it's just us tonight. US, alcohol, music and a whole lot of slutting, i guess? ' . . .or whatever it was jamie and her FRIENDS called it.

️ ️ ️ ️ ️' yeah, i MISS HIM. would've missed him this year anyway, but never thought he'd actually go out there and FUCKING DIE, you know?

️ ️
️ ️ ️ ️ ️but it seemed like if she held in all the ANGER, she might explode. if she concealed everything like she kept trying to do, she might just go INSANE. yet, she tried to even now, shaking her head apologetically as eyes hid GUILT. she quickly moved on. ' anyway, it's whatever. ' ivory still hadn't given up anyway; and wouldn't. THE MINISTRY was hiding something.

️ ️ ️ ️ ️' i've always hated that bitch for you anyway. ' chrissy was nice enough─────── if IVY didn't consider her many, many flaws and the fact the girl was as annoying as they came. ' you really don't get to choose who you like, huh? i mean, liking GIRLS, i completely get, but HER? . . .she's been messing you about since before we had boobs. ' ivy cracked a smile.

FRANK would have been there, back when he attended hogwarts; probably screaming a chiding BOO, or reading, or talking to one of his nerdy friends. now, not even AUGUST was; his skinny frame making him too SHIVERY for him to be outside on this cold, autumn DUSK.
️ ️
️ ️ ️ ️ ️so ivy couldn't fully concentrate sometimes─────── even if she could easily blame the moisture in her GAZE on the frozen air, especially since she was going HIGHER than usual. losing herself in a CLOUD did at least hold some comfort, even if it was FREEZING. as ivy descended, hearing lysander order the younger kids around, she hovered on her broom silently. . .
️ ️
️ ️ ️ ️ ️until a loud swoosh told her she was not quite as ALONE as she thought. ' one day, you'll bang into me, and knock me off my broom. . . then i'll have no choice.

️ ️ ️ ️ ️she had tried to not speak about it at first. she'd tried to let people simply BE KIND, and say the RIGHT THINGS. now, ivy was mad at all the politically correct bullshit, so she'd rather speak the brutal and HONEST TRUTH─────── even if her family wasn't quite ready to hear it.

' although, if we get rid of fletcher before the next GAME, we might have more of a shot at winning? ' ivy wiped her eyes on her MASSIVE quidditch-robe sleeve, hating that she hadn't worn the stupid goggles.
️ ️
️ ️ ️ ️ ️then again, they wouldn't help her play─────── only hide the CRYING, and really. . . she didn't think she'd get it past BONES. as XANDER blew the final whistle, signalling the end of practice, ivy didn't know whether to be RELIEVED or SADDENED it was over. ' . . .STAY UP HERE WITH ME? ' she wasn't quite ready. ' i don't want to go back down yet. '
️ ️
️ ️ ️ ️ ️there was still a faint glimmer of HOPE, as if she'd look and he'd be there MAGICALLY. which was. . . RIDICULOUS. and SAD. and CRAZY. ' he just always showed up, you know? even if it was only 'cause dad made him at first. ' OLDER BROTHER syndrome. ivy breathed in a long sigh, before both hands rested on the tip of the broom, and she tried to SMILE.

️ ️ ️ ️ ️ivy finds herself scoffing into the darkness of the long corridor, glad night hadn't quite fallen outside, as memories of the heinous rumours she'd heard of the gaunts over the years tested how resolute she was about this HORRIBLE, TERRIBLE IDEA. but what other hope did she have? she'd go through fire for her brother, and she'd go through the heirs of HELL for him too. as ivy walked past an open door, a VOICE hit her.
️ ️
️ ️ ️ ️ ️it wasn't a voice she didn't know, but it wasn't one that was often directed at her. perhaps that's why she backtracked the two steps it took to see him through the doorway, into the most SLYTHERIN room she'd ever seen. the only thing that screamed PURE louder than the gold tapestries and faded, vintage green walls was the tall guy right at its centre. ivy knew she shouldn't ANTAGONISE him. . . but her voice would save her, if need be.
