through the school grounds. It was a gorgeous day and the sun was shining down onto them, warming them up instantly, yet there was still a small breeze which made the heat more tolerable.

It was strange to see the trio back together, Jasper had been avoiding Donna at all costs recently since all she wanted to do was study, and since Donna and Ivy shared a dorm together, it was easier for the brunette to drag Ivy to the library than it was dragging Jasper there. However, this time it was Ivy and Jasper in charge of what the group of friends would do and Ivy certainly didn't want to spend anymore time cooped inside the library; especially since she now knew the entire layout of it like the back of her hand.

"Hey, what's going on over there?" Jasper suddenly asked, pointing in the opposite direction with a confused expression on his face.

Donna and Ivy both turned around simultaneously, straining their eyes to see what was going on. The redhead stood up on her tip-toes and her eyes suddenly widened when she spotted the Marauders talking to Severus Snape. She knew that the boys hated the Slytherin, so she felt confused as to what they were doing together until she gasped in shock when James suddenly pulled out his wand and Snape flew up into the air, upside down, "Shit," She muttered to herself, glancing over at her best friends and before she even knew it, the trio were already sprinting over to the large crowd that was forming.

"Who wants to see me take Snivellus' trousers off?" James asked, an amused grin graced his features as he used his wand to keep Snape upside down.

Ivy felt completely and utterly shocked. She was stuck in her position, mouth agape as she heard the crowd cheering at James Potter's antics.

"Potter! Stop it!"

A new voice entered Ivy's ears, glancing to the side she spotted her sister rushing over, Marlene and Alice following her, all three girls looking completely and utterly shocked at the scene before them.

"No, I don't think I will," James replied, "I think I'm going to teach Snivellus a lesson."

Ivy glanced over at the rest of the Marauders, the three of them suddenly looking uncomfortable. Remus had been trying to order James to leave the Slytherin alone whilst Peter stayed at the very back of the group, cowering away. Sirius stood there looking both shocked and amused, clearly not knowing what to do.

"I don't need your help, you filthy Mudblood," Snape snarled, his eyes looking at Lily with a dark glare.

Ivy felt her blood run cold as she watched her sister's face fall, a saddened look entered her eyes. Lily bit her lip nervously, trying not to burst out into tears, "Okay. Fine," She muttered quietly before turning around on her heels and running off, her long red locks flying behind her. Marlene and Alice sent hateful glares at the teenage boys before they rushed off after their friend.

Donna and Jasper shared worried looks, they had noticed Ivy's nostrils flaring angrily as soon as the word left Snape's mouth. Her fists clenched and unclenched as she fought an invisible battle in her own mind about whether she should go over there or follow her sister.

The redhead suddenly caught someone's eye, Regulus stood there, right at the back of the crowd, an annoyed look on his face until Ivy's jade eyes met his, and suddenly he looked more calm. However, Ivy didn't. Without a second thought she pushed through the crowd until she was standing right besides James Potter.

The spectacled boy looked confused when the younger Evans suddenly appeared next to him, but she didn't even register him as she glared at Snape, her eyes burning with fire, "I promise you that you're going to regret calling her that," She hissed, surprisingly everyone around her, even Donna and Jasper, "You hear me? You're going to fucking regret it," And with that, the redhead stormed off, bumping purposefully into James' shoulder as she followed the direction that Lily went in.
