Nichole Stewart, I just had an idea on how to get Ivy onto the train. Enjoy.
Ivy looked around her position. She was currently tied to a chair. The idiots who captured her forgot to gag her. Ivy smirked “Chief. C5 me out of here. I can figure things out later.” A blue portal opened up below Ivy’s chair and dropped her into a train compartment just as a boy with a scar on his head was dragging a trunk in. He looked at Ivy in concern. Ivy looked at the boy from her position on the floor and smiled “I’ll be alright. Could you reach into my back pocket and grab the pen knife? You can cut the ropes with it.”
The boy did as he was asked. He blushed in embarrassment when he went to grab the knife. He cut the ropes and Ivy did the rest. She stood up and threw the chair and ropes out the window. Ivy calmly sat down across from the boy and smiled “I’m Ivy, by the way. What’s your name?” The boy smiled “I’m Harry. How did you get here?” Ivy grinned “Believe it or not, I dropped in through a portal. I was escaping from some men who had me tied up. Something about the location of some secret documents. Ironically, I actually have the documents with me. Thank you for untying me.” Harry smiled “You’re welcome.”
The compartment door opened and a red headed boy looked in “Everywhere else is full. Woah! Are you Harry Potter?” Ivy instantly stood up. Something felt wrong. Ivy looked at the red headed boy “I’m sorry. This compartment is full as well. I am holding some spots for some people. I think there may be some empty compartments in the next train carriage, good day.” Ivy closed the door and looked at Harry “I’m sorry about that. I get the feeling that he wasn’t looking for a friend.” Harry frowned “Yeah. I got some reactions like that when I went to Diagon Alley.”
Ivy looked thoughtful for a second “Did you go to Gringotts while you were in the alley? If the reactions that you have gotten lately mean anything, you might have some money lying around.” Harry looked at Ivy “Yeah, I have my trust vault. It is just enough to pay for my Hogwarts education.” Harry looked sad when he said this. He really wanted to get some new clothes. Ivy saw his look and growled slightly “Unacceptable. I have a vault in Gringotts. We will get you some money there. You don’t have to pay me back. Consider it a gift.” Ivy smiled and activated the C5 for Gringotts. As she and Harry were going through, a bushy haired girl accidentally tripped at the compartment entrance and fell through the portal.
The girl fell through and was caught by a pair of arms. She looked up into a red headed young woman’s smiling face. Ivy laughed “I hope you enjoyed the trip. What were you doing at the compartment? The girl smiled slightly “I was looking for a toad. I suppose it’s too late to ask if either of you have seen one?” Ivy looked at Harry, they both shook their heads. Ivy smiled “Today seems to be a day for introductions. I’m Ivy and this is Harry. Who might you be?” The girl smiled wider this time “I’m Hermione. Thanks for catching me, Ivy.” Ivy grinned “Think nothing of it, Hermione. Now, let’s get everything situated.” Ivy walked to a teller’s line and waited. Harry and Hermione followed.
A Goblin, Gornak, was currently weighing various precious metals and stones. He was getting bored with the so called pure bloods. In truth, the only purebloods that the Goblins actually liked were Amelia Bones and her Neice, Susan. He looked up from the ranting witch in front of him and nearly fell off his chair at what he saw, Ivy Renaldi, the Great Warrior herself, was standing in his line. He proceeded to close his window and walk over to Ivy, who began to argue with him about her not wanting special treatment. Gornak laughed uproariously “Never change, Ivy. It’s good to see you again.” Gornak looked at Harry and Hermione, then at Ivy “I didn’t know you had children. This calls for congratulations.” Ivy laughed “These are actually friends of mine. Harry is the reason why we are here today.” Gornak looked at Harry and became grim. Gornak motioned for the group to follow him to Ragnok’s office.
Ragnok looked up when his door opened. He saw his trusted lieutenant Gornak followed by one of his best friends, Ivy, and two children. Ragnok became concerned at what Ivy and Gornak told him. Ragnok looked at Ivy “Thank you for bringing this to me. I can confirm that Harry Potter is who he says he is. Now, let’s get the money and clothing situation taken care of.” Ragnok had a new key created for Harry’s vault and took the group down to Harry’s trust vault. Ragnok smiled “Now, Harry, Ivy mentioned vaults. That is very true, in fact, the vaults on this whole floor hold your family’s history as well as fortune. When James and Lilly Potter went into hiding, they had everything not nailed down in their manor stored in Gringotts.” Ragnok smiled as Ivy installed a handprint scanner made by her brother, Zach. It would make sure that only Harry, or his loved ones, could access his vaults.
Ivy produced a billfold from her jacket pocket “Ragnok. I have a good amount of cash on me. Can we have the Goblin tailors to produce two sets of Goblin quality magical and non magical clothes? One set for a boy and one for a girl?” Ragnok smiled and nodded “Certainly, Ivy.” Ivy handed Ragnok the billfold. Ivy heard a rumbling noise and looked around. Hermione and Harry smiled sheepishly. Harry spoke up “Um.. is there anywhere we can eat? We didn’t get anything from the trolley.” Ragnok smiled “Certainly. If we return to my office, we can have a good dinner there.” He also noticed that Harry and Hermione each had an arm around the other.
Ivy looked at the two children and smiled “After we have dinner tonight, I can get some rooms for the two of you at a resort I know of in the South of France.” Hermione looked at Ivy curiosly “That sounds like another magical school I got a brochure for right before my letter for Hogwarts came. It mentioned that Beauxbatons also has a resort attached to it. Do you teach at Beauxbatons or know someone who does?” Ragnok laughed uproariously “Ivy owns Beauxbatons. The ownership of the school was a thank you gift to Ivy for saving the students several years ago. Ivy has worked very hard to make Beauxbatons into the premiere magical and non magical Academy in both Europe and England.” The group sat down to an excellent dinner. Ivy noticed that Harry enjoyed it. Ivy looked at Ragnok “Do you have the enrollment forms?” Ragnok smiled and handed them to Ivy.
Ivy grinned and turned to Harry and Hermione “I think that you may find these interesting. I also have the brochure for Beauxbatons. Hermione, You are listed for Beauxbatons due to your grades. They are the best I have seen in awhile. I had both yours and Harry’s trunks C5’ed here while we were in the vaults.” Ivy turned to Ragnok and smiled “I thank you for your hospitality, my friend. I will get Harry and Hermione safely to Beauxbatons for tonight.” Harry and Hermione went to Ragnok and hugged him. The move surprised him slightly. Ragnok waved to the two children as they went through the C5 corridor that Ivy activated. Ivy smiled at her friend as she left through the portal.
Ivy bid Harry and Hermione a goodnight and took two signed school transfer forms with her. Ragnok was able to sign Harry’s as he was a trusted friend of James and Lilly. Ivy would get the Grangers signatures tomorrow. After all, tomorrow is another day.
