Ivy pov:

When we got back Remus had to go back to whatever he was doing and my thoughts drifted again to the man on the pub. I had the strangest feeling that I had seen him before. But I didn't know where.

Finally it was the day I was foing to hogwarts. Andromeda was rushing around making sure I had everything, Tonks was getting in her way and falling over every 5 minutes and I was laughing at the scene in front of me. But eventually it was time, I grabbed Andromeda's arm and we apparated to an alleyway near kings cross. Dromeda had shrunk my suit case and belongings exept midnight of course who I carried for fear of her being trodden on.

I boarded the train just on time and started to look for a compartment. Suddenly midnight jumped out of my arms and darted down the corridor. The train had started moving which made me a bit unsteady but I gained my balance and set of after my cat.

I could hear voices coming from one of the compartments.

"Where did that cat come from?"

"Maybe it ran away!"

"Awww it's cute!"

I couldn't help but smirk at the last one as a knocked at the compartment door. A boy with scruffy black hair, emerald green eyes, glassed and a lightning scar opened it.

"Yes?" He asked me kindly.

"Sorry, that's my cat she just ran away!" I smiled nervously and looked down at midnight.

"That's alright" the boy leaned down, picked her up and handed her to me. I smiled then gasped.

"Oh merlin! Your Harry Potter right?!" Harry nodded and invited me to sit with them. I took a seat next to a girl and opposite a man who looked familiar. I shrugged it off. It would come back to me.

Harry told me that the girl was called Hermione Granger and the other boy was called Ron Weasly. Then came the question I had been dreading the second he had invited me in:

"So what's your name?"

"It's Ivy. Ivy Black." I paused waiting for the horrified faces and screams of terror but they never came. Hermione looked sympathetic, Harry looked curious and Ronald just looked shocked. It felt like years until someone spoke up. It was Hermione.

"I feel sorry for you. Your probably terrified of meeting people as you think they might hate you for who you are. We won't judge you. Promise." She looked at me determinedly and I smiled.

"Friends?" I asked.

"Friends!" they all repeated.

Suddenly the train stopped.

"Why did we stop? We can't be nearly there yet." I was thinking the same thing. Ron looked out of the window as the lights flickered out.

"There's something moving out there. I think it's coming aboard!" His voice was thick with fear and I was shaking. It felt like all the air and warmth had been sucked out of the room.

Looking at the door I saw a horrible thing. It was like a Black cloak hovering but there were long bony fingers emerging from inside the cloak. The head looked like a hood with a round mouth. The thing turned to Harry and he began to go rigid. I could hear someone screaming but chose to ignore it.

Suddenly the sleeping man jumped up and shot a silver form from his wand and drove the things away. A patronus charm. I knew about them. I read about them in a book.

I was pulled out of my thoughts by Hermione yelling

"Harry!" Before he passed out on the floor. While Hermione and Ron were busy with Harry, I looked to see who the man was.

"Remus?!" I shouted in surprise. He smiled wearily at me and then looked to see if Harry was ok. A few minutes later he awoke and Remus went to talk to the driver. Hermione looked at me curiously before saying

"Come one we better get changed into out robes we should be there soon."
