Chapter 6
[Damien's House]
The sun was setting over the horizon as the two changed out of their outfits after a long day. Ivy wore a pair of purple pajama shorts with one of Damian's band t-shirts. Damian was wearing a pair of black sweatpants with a sleeveless gray shirt. She was laying across his lap as he was reading a book as the TV was playing in the background, his parents were on the loveseat beside the couch with what remained of dinner on the table between them.
He tugged the end of the shirt she was wearing, "You always wear my things."
"Can't help it. It's so comfortable and it smells like you. Wearing your stuff is practically a good luck charm. After all, snakes are good luck."
"Oh, so I'm your good luck charm, is that it?" He quipped
She shrugged her shoulders, "Good luck charm, body pillow, my beloved boyfriend I get to spoil as much as I want, give me an hour and I'll think of twenty more beloved titles to give you."
He snorted, pulled her up, and kissed her, "You are something else."
"I try."
Juliet was leaning against her husband in her nightgown while Michael was wearing his set of nightclothes as he remained half-focused on the movie that was on the TV.
Everyone was both anxious and ecstatic over Britain's reaction when her friends and Vincent contacted her over the Daily Prophet, she simply told them all to wait for tomorrow and that she was fine. When they arrived, both his parents wanted to know every detail about the interview, but they had to wait like everyone else, sadly. Although Ivy wanted to tell them, Damian told her it would be better for them to read it tomorrow morning.
When it was time for bed, he carried her to his room as he whispered in her ear, "Excited?"
"And nervous, but it needs to be done and it causes a shit ton of trouble for Albus so that's a bonus."
"They'll probably run around like headless chickens and they deserve every moment of panic."
A sigh escaped her as he placed her down on his bed, "I can't believe I did something like this."
"It had to be done, besides you are still thinking like a Ravenclaw with your icy mask on. Not the Gryffindor/Slytherin mix you know you are. Besides, the interviews you gave show your true personality in a beautiful light."
She pulled him down so he was on top of her, wrapping her arms around him as he turned to the side to not crush her as she whispered, "So, I guess I just have to enjoy the fireworks with everyone else, huh?"
"Yep."
Ivy took in a deep breath and smiled, "Okay. They won't hurt you nor will they take you away from me. I'll rip them apart and bled them out for everyone to see."
"There's the wolf I know. It will take time, Ivy, old habits die hard. And you have been playing pretend for far too long. I can't wait for them to see the true Ivy they neglected and ignored for so long and they can all eat the shit they have sown for far too long."
She nuzzled into him, "I'm kind of excited for that too. But enough about them, I just want to savor the loads of time I get to spend with you from now on."
He kissed her in turn as she just held him until they both fell asleep.
[Morning]
Michael woke up first with his wife following after him, attached to his arm, half-asleep.
"You know you can still be asleep in our bed, Juliet."
She shook her head, "No, it's not the same if you are not in it."
"How do you sleep if I'm not here?"
"In your clothes on your side of the bed," She quipped
He kissed her and told her, "Sit at the table, beloved. I'll make your coffee. Tell me what do you want?"
She pouted as she removed her grip on his arm as she yawned, "Cappuccino, please. I know you like your coffee dark with some sugar."
He smiled as she yawned as they made their specific drinks before switching it with the other, she kissed his cheek and made her way to sit at the table.
As she nursed her drink, she rocked back and forth in her seat, "I can't wait for Ivy's articles."
"I can't wait either."
"Why did you have to get up so early, I want to snuggle with you until the sun rises."
He laughed a bit, "And not make breakfast and savor Ivy's interviews?"
She pouted, "Why do you make such good points?"
"It's one of the many reasons why you love me."
"True, there are so many things I love about you, I can't even list them."
"I feel the same love. Besides, I get to watch the sunrise with you as we wait for the articles."
"Charmer."
The two basked in the simple silence as he made breakfast.
Soon after he finished, they heard footsteps and they saw Ivy who yawned as Damian scratched his head as he popped all kinks out of his back to firmly wake him up.
"Good morning, mom, dad."
"Good morning, Mr. and Mrs. Frigor."
Juliet gave her a simple tut of distaste, "You know you can call us, mom and dad, Ivy. You are practically family."
She grinned, "Force of habit."
"It's better than Lord and Lady Frigor, we will break you from it, soon enough. Now take a seat."
She took a seat between Juliet and Damian as Michael took his own seat beside his wife as they made to talk and enjoy breakfast until the sun rose, then the articles arrived, much to Juliet's excitement.
She jumped out of her seat and opened the window to let the delivery owls through as she collected all the newspapers. After paying all of them, Michael cleared the table with a wave of his hand as he refilled his coffee cup as she laid out all the newspapers on the table so everyone can see.
Juliet was practically squealed with excitement, "Oh, you both look amazing!" She picked out the last article about Hogwarts, showing the pair of them on the front page, "I think this picture is my favorite. That grin, Ivy."
Delusional or Plain Lies? Hogwarts isn't a Top School. Hasn't Been in Decades.
Hogwarts has been telling lies, stating it's the top school when it hasn't been to their lackluster teachings and scholarly performance. We have the inside scoop from a student herself, the legendary Supernova Wolf, Ivy Victoria Potter with her boyfriend, Damian Frigor, the Supernova, Snake.
On the cover was the two of them, sitting next to each other on a loveseat, holding each other's hand.
Supernova Beginnings - Wolf's Timeline
We finally have the interview we all have been aching for, the leader of the Supernovas allowed us the honor of getting the inside scoop of how Ivy Victoria Potter started her legendary dueling career!
On the cover, the picture constantly changed, it showed multiple pictures of Ivy, from when she was nine after which she won her first dueling tournament to snippets of her greatest highlights action shots of her throughout the years, her accepting her Supernova status as Wolf down to her last tournament and the cycle of pictures repeats.
The Love Story Between a Snake & Wolf
We get the love story between the two Supernovas from their own lips!
On the cover, showed multiple pictures of the couple in action on the battlefield, before showing pictures of them in multiple outings on dates, enjoying life.
Ivy's True Education
So, power and brains? The Supernova, Ivy Victoria Potter has a lot to say about her education.
On the cover, Ivy was sitting in Damian's lap with her legs crossed as she had a smile on her face.
The History of the Supernovas and Ivy's Generation
The powerful History of the Supernovas and Insight of Ivy's Generation!
On the cover, the two were sitting next to each other with their interviewer, mid-discussion.
The Inside Scoop at Hogwarts
It seems that Hogwarts has a lot more than a few skeletons in the closet and they will be discussed today.
On the cover, had a smug grin on her face, one of which was very familiar whenever she was on the battlefield as Damian was sitting on the armrest of her seat as he looked down at her, with an adoring smile.
She flushed as Damien rubbed her shoulders as he whistled at the picture, he took the article from his mother as he savored the picture.
"It was Damian's idea, I had to force myself not to flush at that, such a grin."
"Well, love, you look like that when you fight, it's a rather wonderful look on you."
She rolled her shoulders, "The type of grin fits you more."
"Which one to read first?"
"Why are they all in different countries?"
Ivy curled a strand of hair around her finger, "I wanted to make sure if Albus tries to search for me, they wouldn't start here."
Juliet gave her a soft smile, "Oh Ivy..."
"Isn't my Wolf so smart?" He grinned as he kissed her cheek.
Michael smiled at the young woman who was just as smitten with his son just as he was with his wife. He could only silently thank Merlin for that. He would make sure to contact Vincent, they would keep taps on Albus and his cronies, no one would harm his family, not while he was standing.
Delusional or Plain Lies? Hogwarts isn't a Top School. Hasn't Been in Decades.
Ivy and Damian step onto the scene with the interviewer, a young woman named Caroline Wankel who was wearing a suit with a pair of black heels, she stood at 5'9 with silver-blonde hair pulled into a bun with her lips painted a soft red. She had a notepad and lightning-blue quill ready and waiting.
CW - Good morning, Ms. Potter, Mr. Frigor, or what should I call you to make this event more comfortable for the two of you?
IP - Please, call me Ivy, it will be easier.
DF - Then call me Damian.
CW - Of course, I want to thank you for allowing me to be your interviewer for this event.
IP - It's a pleasure, I want to thank you for accepting on such short notice, I loathe creating events at short notice, but it had to be done.
CW - I see, would this be because of the Daily Prophet?
Ivy shook her head in disgust.
IP - I loathe that paper and knowing them, they will do nothing but drag my name through the mud, so I felt it would be best to respond through this method.
Caroline nodded as her quill made to silently scratch on her notepad.
CW - So...You wished to discuss Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, correct?
IP - Yes.
CW - You were a student there, yes?
IP - I was.
CW - Was? Can you please explain what you mean by was?
IP - I learned as much as I could from their hallowed halls and made to take my OWLS and NEWTS early so I could leave Hogwarts a year early.
CW - Pardon me, but are you not 17?
IP - Yes, I turned 17 this July.
CW - Of course, Happy belated Birthday.
Ivy gave Caroline a smile.
IP - Thank you.
CW - Could you care to explain why you wanted to leave Hogwarts before your last year? Because considering the fact that you are 17, you should be preparing for your 7th year?
IP - I've grown rather sick of the school.
CW - You have grown sick of it?
IP - Yes. You see, Hogwarts boasts that it is the best school in the world, while it's not. I found that out when I was ten years old. Hogwarts has fallen and has been a part of the bottom crust for decades. That's third-rate at best compared to what a young wizard or witch could get a different school. In terms of rankings, not counting private and specialized magical institutions, they are ranking number #148 out of 150 magical schools.
CW - But you were a student there, Ivy.
IP - Exactly, I was. And who better to explain this, then I?
CW - Fair point.
IP - Besides, I took a homeschooling program alongside my studies at Hogwarts.
CW - You took a homeschooling program?
IP - Yes, It was Shamrock Institute of Magic, I was introduced to the program by my father figure, Vincent Cross.
CW - Oh, how long have you taken the homeschooling program?
IP - Since I was ten, and I completed it when I finished my sixth year at Hogwarts.
CW - Goodness, that must have been nightmarish.
IP - It was a bit difficult at first, but I managed to do it. I wouldn't recommend it, though. Sometimes you feel as if your brain is melting.
CW - I can only imagine. As if schoolwork wasn't hellish enough.
IP - True, but many schools have wonderful programs and the work at Hogwarts hasn't changed for generations so there's not really much to maneuver. But along with the stagnation of their education materials, the subjects they offer are very little in comparison to other schools that have a wide variety, as I am sure you are aware of Albus Dumbledore and his dislike of anything "Dark"?
Caroline and Damian rolled their eyes at the same time.
CW - Yes, Ivy, I am truly aware of that man's posturing and so is most of the magical world. I never understood why he wishes to ban multiple forms of magic under his supposed wisdom that it would lead the next generation astray.
Damian coughed into his arm with a muffled "Bullshit!"
Ivy gave him a playful smack on his arm.
IP - Well, with that, let's start with the teachers. Now, some teachers are not bad at all, they are actually really good teachers, but there are a few that are terrible and it doesn't help that their Heads of their Houses. As in Hogwarts, there are four houses, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Gryffindor. The Heads of the Slytherin and Gryffindor Houses are terrible and make that known. As you know, it's normal that people will favor the houses that are under their protection, but those two take it way too far. Including Dumbledore's favoritism of my brother and second-chance policy on bullying behaviors and how it influences the student population, I decided to take my leave as soon as I could.
CW - So that's why you left early?
IP - Yes. It's way too toxic and I was tired of hiding. After all, I'm now an adult so they can't control me, thankfully.
CW - I see. But, what do you plan on doing now, considering the fact that you took your OWLS and NEWTS early?
IP - To be honest, I wanted to take them so I could spend my last year with Damian.
CW - Oh really?
IP - Yes. I have enrolled at his school for this upcoming semester and the reason for that, is well, I wanted to experience what it was like a true magical school.
DF - Don't forget all the extracurriculars that Hogwarts doesn't have nor could you take from Shamrock.
IP - You can't really take the courses I wanted to take unless in person sadly.
CW - How interesting, Is there anything you want to add, Damian?
DF - Other than the fact that Hogwarts is a miserable, bigoted pigsty, then not much else.
Ivy snorted.
IP - He isn't wrong.
CW - Care to explain?
Damian glanced at Ivy who nodded her head.
DF - You see, from what I heard from Ivy, Severus Snape, the Head of the Snake House at Hogwarts is a nasty piece of work and her brother, well, he has his own breed of foul behavior. If Snape worked anywhere else, he'd be arrested if not killed for his treatment towards his 'students', the bastard doesn't deserve the title potion master. Ivy, if you could?
IP - I'll tell you about my first class with him and I was a first-year at the time, so this is in a class of eleven-year-olds, he was a nasty piece of work, he slammed opened the door, causing half of the students to jump as he stormed in. His dark eyes glared at everything and everyone, I wore a pair of thick glasses with a glare that hid my eyes, it prevents people from trying to use legilimency on me, he tried to use that particular skill on me five times, Merlin knows how many times he does it to other students. If he is not snapping and snarling at students, then he's stalking around his classroom, between the desks of the students looking over them as menacing as possible. His teaching... consists of placing the ingredients and barebones method on the board and snapping at us to complete it. If someone makes a mistake he will chew them out. He caused two Hufflepuffs to breakdown into tears who made a common mistake on the potion, mainly because they were practically shaking from fear of the greasy bastard. It was common for upper years to comfort and give calming potions and chocolate to the younger years before his class. It's actually a record to see how many first years the bastard makes flee his potion's lab in tears or frustration in the first week. From what I could recall, for Gryffindor it was 13 students, Ravenclaw, it was 18 students, and for Hufflepuff, it was 33 students.
Caroline looked horrified while Damian's expression simply darkened at the retelling of the tale.
DF - Sweet Merlin, that story still made my blood boil even now.
CW - That's horrible!
IP - Trust me, the first week is just warm-ups for him. You do not want to hear about his bad days. Damian got so furious, I had to restrain him from heading up to Hogwarts himself to castrate him and make Albus eat it no less.
DF - He would deserve it and I'd chuck him to the darkest hole I can find and let him rot in there.
CW - How could such a person be anywhere near children, he sounds like a-
IP - Death Eater? Well, yes, he is.
CW - WHAT?!
IP - He's a death eater. One of Voldemort's Inner circle no less. You don't get that unless you are a really sick cookie and no one can be compelled into his servitude. You have to be willing. And well, the man has many vile secrets. And those, I will tell. Later on.
Caroline let out a breath as she felt vile.
CW - That, that thing shouldn't be anywhere near a child.
IP - Try telling that to Albus, no matter what, no matter how many complaints both by students and teachers, the man refuses to remove him, Merlin knows why?
DF - He's probably his bed warmer, Merlin knows the miserable bastard can suck off one Dark Lord, why not for a Light Lord who has a hard-on for forgiveness? I mean, he plays inconsolable man held down by his sins, Albus, the stupid man believes him and has him in his corner. Not caring that he is shafting the next generation of what could be potion masters/mistresses, aurors, and healers because no one wants to put up with him all to get one irredeemable man to the path of light.
IP - More like the path of the doormat. And did you have to create such a horrible image?
DF - It fits the greasy bastard, perfectly.
CW - No kidding, what kind of pigsty is Dumbledore running. I'd pull my children out so quickly their heads would spin if I heard such a horrible man was teaching students. But, moving away from...him for now, what about this Lion Head of House?
IP - She worse in a different way, she won't cause you to cry or run out of the classroom, but her favoritism doesn't apply to her entire house like Snape's. She has favorites, a couple of which are my brother and his friends. They could murder someone and Albus would sweep it under the rug himself, it doesn't help that he has his Boy-who-lived title.
CW - Any reason as to why?
IP - That's a whole different ballgame, I will speak about at a later point.
CW - Very well, this interview has been quite a rollercoaster. May you both have a wonderful day.
IP & DF - May you have a good day as well, madam.
Then Ivy stood up, removing her wand and swore, "I, Ivy Victoria Potter, swear on my life and magic that everything I have spoken about in this interview is the truth, so mote it be."
She remained standing still for a moment, before she summoned her patronus, a large Dire Wolf that made itself around the room only to stop at Damian's feet.
Caroline clapped, "What a lovely show of magic."
Supernova Beginnings - Wolf's Timeline
Ivy was wearing a purple sweater over a white button-up shirt with dark-washed jeans and boots and Damian was wearing a white shirt with a black V-neck collar with a black jacket with a red hoodie over it and a pair of black pants and dark high-tops. The pair were sitting in matching seats across from their interviewer of this interview, an older man with his hair parted to the side in a gray suit and dark loafers.
BD - Good day, Ms. Potter, Mr. Frigor, my name is Bernard Devoid.
IP - Good day, sir.
DF - Good day, sir. Would you like to stick a more formal tone?
BD - If you could, it would be easier for me.
IP - Of course. Now, what do you want to ask, sir?
BD - How did you get into competitive dueling?
IP - I got into competitive dueling by Vincent Cross
BD - The man you considered a father figure?
IP - Yes. How we met was that he saved me, ever since then, he practically adopted me in everything but name. He cared for me, he even took me to get my wand, to which I got two wands.
BD - It's rare for a witch to have two wands?
IP - It was strange for me too, but they match me perfectly.
BD - But for such a milestone, shouldn't your parents have gone with you?
She shrugged her shoulders.
IP - They didn't think of me and Vincent took their place when he saved me, he swore that he wouldn't harm me, before taking me back home after they left me.
BD - Left you?
IP - They left me behind for hours.
Damian grabbed her hand, giving her a reassuring squeeze.
IP - It was at a Quidditch game when I was six, they started to neglect me when I was four, it wasn't noticeable at first, but it quickly picked up speed to the point that wasn't a part of their world anymore. During that day, I thought they remembered me and things would go back to normal, but apparently not. All it took was one bathroom break and then they were gone. I waited for them in the same spot where they sat when the game ended when people cleared the stadium, all the way down to when the sunset over the horizon, they never appeared. After that, I decided I wouldn't be reliant on their love that I would never get.
BD - ...Ms. Potter, I'm so sorry, that's so awful.
IP - It's the past, but you should have seen Damian when I told him and his parents, he wanted to rip their heads off.
DF - I still do. Who leaves their damn child for the other one only because they have a stupid title? Morons, that's who.
IP - Trust me, you don't need to be sorry. Old wounds rarely ache, but that's how I met Vincent, he saved me that day. He led me back to the Potter house and we continued to bump into each other. It was first loneliness and me being thankful for him leading back home, but it turned into a father-daughter relationship. He cared and listened. As a surprise, he took me to my first dueling tournament and I was amazed, Quidditch had been forever stained in my eyes by the incident so I didn't care for it all that much. I wanted to compete, but he told me I had to wait until I was nine as seven at the time and that was too early for him. I had two years and I practiced all on my own with his help.
BD - So the Winter Tournament of '86, correct?
IP - Yes, it was such a wonderful day. I was excited and nervous, but I did it. I still remember Vicent spinning around like a helicopter when I won.
BD - What a memorable moment.
IP - It was, dueling also landed me in the lap of Damian.
BD - Really?
IP - Well, yes, we met each other through chance when I was training for my second tournament, we became friends after we met and invited him to watch, which he did, then he joined during the winter tournament. He was amazing.
DF - Stop it. You're gonna make me blush.
IP - But, it's true, Damian, you were amazing!
DF - She still has her child-like wonder and people wonder how we are still smitten with each other.
IP - Oh, dear, I'll never get sick of you. Some people have no taste.
He kissed her cheek.
BD - What would be your hardest opponent?
IP - That would be when I was 14, and I was facing a teen who was the same age as me, I'm not naming him in order for him not to get hounded, but he was a hellishly tough opponent, I don't think I've bled so much in a battle than with him. His magic is truly something, but it seems to be inherited magic, so I'm not surprised, he gives off the scent of sakura blossoms, and well, he makes fair use of plants and flowers.
DF - They nearly killed each at the end of that match.
IP - It was worth it though, he had a bit of a bored, haughty air around him, but it disappeared after the match, almost as if he was at peace. I respect him a lot for that match, he has a lot of battle power, and he thanked me in turn for pushing him to such an extent. Well, there's a first for everything. If I meet him again, I'd love to have a rematch with him.
BD - And which tournament was that one, Summer or Winter?
IP - Summer.
BD - And as the tournament change each year, all competitors have to face different things, correct?
IP & DF - Correct.
BD - Whether it's other competitors, monsters, or castles of enemies, they are all different in some variety. Correct?
Ivy nodded as Damian rested his head on his hand.
BD - For your first tournament, Ms. Potter, what did you have to do?
IP - I had to face 12 opponents, all of which had various months or years of experience ahead of me, but I did it. Damian, wasn't your first one having to clean out an entire arena filled with monsters?
DF - It was, just thinking about that day, exhausts me. It was ten competitors, whoever could take out the most monsters win.
IP - And yet you still did it. Absolutely wonderful.
BD - What about the tournament which ended with you facing a plethora of monsters.
IP - Ah, that was in 91', during the summer, that was such a fun tournament.
BD - If wouldn't be too much trouble, could give you in your own words, give us a timeline of your dueling career?
IP - Of course. To start, I got my wand crafted during the year 1984 at the age of 7, for the next two years I spent training in a variety of things, something I will devel into later on. After that, I competed in the Winter tournament in the year '86, I wanted to compete during the summer, but I wasn't 9 then and Pops wanted me to join my youth just a little bit before diving into focusing on dueling matches. Facing against those 12 opponents was my first hurdle to how I got to where I am today. After that, I competed during the Summer and Winter tournaments of the years 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, and 1993, keep in mind I was both training and studying between each tournament, pretty much like everyone pre-Nova status. I won every single tournament that I competed in, although I experienced some near misses, but I still won, but fighting for them, make it worth it in the end. However, due to all of us being in the age of 7th years, it was decided in our best interests for all Supernovas not to compete this summer to remain focused on our studies. Going back to the Tournament of 1990 was when I along with 12 other members were given our Supernova status after the tournament.
BD - Goodness, since the year 1986 all the way down to 1993 of last year. So you have competed in 15 tournaments so far and I'm sure you will make that 16 this winter. I thank you both for your time, Ms. Potter, Mr. Frigor.
She smiled before standing up and she swore, "I, Ivy Victoria Potter, swear on my life and magic that everything I have spoken about in this interview is the truth, so mote it be."
She then used her wand to let out a series of fireworks, showing that she had her magic active.
BD - May I ask why?
IP - Because some people in Britain will try their best to deny my words, this swear makes sure they have no legs to stand on.
BD - Of course, Ms. Potter. Thank you for the interview. May you both have a pleasant day.
The Love Story of Snake & Wolf
Ivy was wearing a leather jacket over a black sundress with a pair of shin-high boots and Damian was wearing a blue dress shirt with a white shirt underneath with a pair of brown pants and dark shoes. The pair were sitting in on a long couch, their interviewer of this interview, a younger man with his hair pulled behind his ears in a white button-up shirt with black slacks and loafers.
RL - Good day, you two. My name is Ruben Lacz and it's an honor to meet both of you.
IP - Hello sir.
RL - Please, call me Ruben
IP - Then call me, Ivy.
DF - Call me, Damian.
RL - How nice. Now, how did the two of you meet?
DF - We met by chance.
IP - It was truly by chance, if I didn't get into competitive dueling, I probably wouldn't have run into him. It was during one of my breaks from training and I was enjoying the sights before my second tournament before I found him. He was under the shade of a tree reading a book, I still remember he had his rose-tinted sunglasses on as he was lost in the world of words. We were both ten at the time and made my way to ask him if he knew if there were any dessert stores nearby. He was so nice when he was giving me directions.
He kissed her cheek, making her let out a bit of a giggle.
DF - After that, she waved me goodbye and I went back to my book, ten minutes later she sits across from me with a large bag of treats and asks me if I want any. I lost track of time so I didn't mind if she was willing.
IP - I then took a seat beside him and opened the bag to let him take his pick, I got a bag full of cookies, sfogliatellas, frozen gelato balls, cannolis, and cloud Panna cottas.
DF - Don't forget zeppoles.
IP - How could I forget, those were great.
DF - We shared them and we got to talking, he noticed my accent and asked if I was just visiting, I told him was I was competing in a dueling tournament and invited him before it was time for us to leave.
DF - I came to watch her match and I got into the dueling scene after that.
IP - When I heard that he was competing I had to watch it for myself, I cheered so much, I lost my voice.
DF - She could only squeak for days
Ivy shrugged her shoulders.
IP - Still worth it.
RL - What do you two enjoy the most about each other?
IP - His eyes
DF - Her grin
RL - Which one of you asked the other out first?
DF - I did, when we were thirteen
IP - I planned our first date
RL - Where was your first date?
IP - It was in a park during the sunset, fancy restaurants are wonderful and all, but I like simple things. I got a list of his favorites for dinner and he got dessert, he knows I have a weakness for custard.
DF - Custard is practically ambrosia to her.
She rolled her eyes as she nudged him with her shoulder.
IP - Like you don't have a hard-on for chocolate.
DF - Chocolate is amazing, though.
IP - True. It is. Especially dark chocolate.
DF - Dark chocolate is only good for cakes, I like white and milk chocolate.
RL - What is your significant other's favorite hobby?
DF - Discovering new subjects to study
IP - Listening to music
RL - What's something that cheers up your significant other?
IP - Old cheesy movies that make you bust a gut laughing
DF - Cuddles
RL - What's your significant other's favorite meal?
DF - Chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes
IP - Baked rigatoni casserole with biscuits
RL - Favorite thing to do to get away from everything?
IP - A nice stroll in the forest
DF - A quiet place in a cafe
RL - What's the favorite gift you received from each other?
IP - It was before we dated, but I was invited to stay over, and in the morning to greet me, I found out he made me kitty pancakes, they remain my favorite even now.
DF - It was just before my 14th birthday and she wanted to spend the day with me and knowing my love of chocolate, she got me a golden ticket to the Hershey hotel and Hershey park, that place was amazing. How the hell did you get that ticket anyway?
IP - A woman never tells her secrets.
RL - Goodness, you two. If there was ever a scale for the perfect couple, I think you two may have broken it.
DF - We try our best.
IP - We truly do
She then kissed his cheek.
RL - Well, I know many will enjoy this and I thank you both for your time.
DF & IP - Thank you for accepting us.
She swore, "I, Ivy Victoria Potter, swear on my life and magic that everything I have spoken about in this interview is the truth, so mote it be."
She then transfigured her hair silver and changed her outfit before changing it back as a testament that she still had her magic.
Ivy's True Education
The interviewer was a young woman with her brown hair pulled into a ponytail in a peach dress shirt and a pencil skirt and heels. Ivy and Damian walked into the scene, hand in hand before sitting next to each other. Ivy was wearing a gray belly shirt under a red plaid shirt and a pair of dark washed jeans with a pair of sneakers. Damian was wearing a navy t-shirt underneath a leather jacket, jeans, and a pair of sneakers.
LD - Good day or should I say, good afternoon?
IP - Good afternoon, Ms. Dobbs
LD - Please, call me Lois, Ms. Dobbs sounds like my mother.
IP - Then Lois, then. How are you?
LD - I'm pleased and thankful I was chosen to interview you. Before we get to the questions, I'm rather curious, why did you choose me?
IP - Simple, you were recommended to me and I found the fact that your articles are truthful, cemented my decisions.
Lois smiled at the praise.
LD - Thank you. Now, would you please explain about your education? I know you were a student at Hogwarts, but you are a student at another school?
IP - Yes. I was a student at the Shamrock Institute of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
LD - Did you take a homeschooling program?
IP - Yes, I did. It was recommended to me by my father figure.
LD - Vincent Cross, correct?
IP - Yes.
LD - What did you study at both schools?
IP - At Hogwarts, I took Transfiguration, Charms, Potions, History of Magic, Defence Against the Dark Arts, Astronomy, Herbology Arithmancy, Muggle Studies, Divination, Study of Ancient Runes and Care of Magical Creatures.
LD - Twelve classes, that must have been a lot of work.
Ivy shrugged her shoulders.
IP - At Shamrock, I took most of the same classes, but I didn't take Divination, Care of Magical Creatures, and Muggle Studies. I took Russian, Abjuration magic, and Ink magic, sadly I could only take the theoretical parts of the subjects, but Russian was a lovely subject.
LD - Abjuration magic, such as defensive magic? And Ink magic?
IP - Yes. They were such nice classes, I'm just sad I couldn't take the practical part as that's the best part of the class. And the fact I couldn't take any extracurriculars that I wanted.
LD - What other education had you taken?
IP - I was trained by both my coach and Vincent when it came to dueling tournaments, I learned multiple fighting styles that aided in my dueling career.
LD - Magical or non-magical?
IP - Both.
Lois nodded in understanding.
LD - How nice. I can see it when you fight in the arena, especially with your duel wand-wielding ability. It's such a pleasure to watch.
IP - I'm glad you enjoyed it.
LD - How many fighting styles have you learned so far?
IP - I have learned and studied five fighting styles and three dueling styles with my wands.
LD - Oh my.
DF - You should see her training regiment, it would terrify aurors.
LD - I take it that she pushes herself very hard, Damian?
DF - You have no idea. The other Supernovas take to mimic her training regiment, but it's tweaked to suit them.
IP - Even yours?
DF - Even mine. She will push herself to exhaustion, but it will take a long time to tire her out to that point.
LD - How long does your training session?
IP - ...It usually lasts all day, to be honest.
DF - She gets so in the zone that she'll forget what day it is.
Ivy flushed before she took in a deep breath.
IP - As if you are any better.
He shrugged his shoulders.
DF - True.
LD - That's very interesting. But what do you plan on doing this year, you should be going into your seventh year, correct?
IP - Yes. However, instead of finishing my seventh year at Hogwarts, I actually plan on spending my seventh and last year with Damian.
LD - Oh really?
IP - Yes.
DF - I was ecstatic when she told me, but I wanted to ask why it was just one more year when she didn't need too.
LD - What do you mean, by you don't need too?
IP - I already took my OWLs and NEWTS.
LD - What? But if you took them already, shouldn't you want to explore the world, study under a master or even focus entirely on your dueling career?
IP - As much as they are all wonderful points, I wanted to enjoy what it's like at a true magical school, learn the extracurriculars I have chosen, and well, more time with Damian.
DF - Oh, love.
He pulled her into his lap as he kissed her jaw.
LD - How lovely. So you are going to spend your seventh year with Damian, that's so romantic. I hope you two have a wonderful school year and may Merlin bless you both.
IP & DF - May Merlin bless you too.
She swore, "I, Ivy Victoria Potter, swear on my life and magic that everything I have spoken about in this interview is the truth, so mote it be."
She made a show of creating a heart out of solidified magic in the palm of her hand.
The History of the Supernovas and Ivy's Generation
The interviewer was sitting in a rather fancy French winged chair as Ivy and Damian sat on a fainting couch. Damian was wearing a maroon-colored sweater over a gray v-neck t-shirt with a pair of jeans and a pair of boots. Ivy was wearing an oversized navy t-shirt dress with a pair of skinny jeans and a pair of sneakers.
JS - Good day, Ms. Potter, Mr. Frigor. My name is Jennifer Sohm, but please call me Jennifer.
IP - A pleasure to meet you. Please call me Ivy.
DF - And call me, Damian, please.
JS - Of course. Now, could you please tell us about the history of the Supernovas?
IP - The Supernovas were created long before the Global wizarding war with Grindelwald, although during War times, competitions were canceled for the benefit and safety of witches and wizards. Although they weren't called Supernovas until the 1940s when the name started to pick up popularity. As you know the wars, both the Global Wizarding War and the First Wizarding War took its toll on the wizarding population. After several decades of peace, they continued with the tournaments and selection of Supernovas as they wanted to give people time to heal from their wounds. It became a way for people to release stress as even then, sometimes you just got to kick the shit out of something to feel better.
Damian snorted while Jennifer laughed.
IP - The tournaments became more as a symbol to the old ways but reinvented throughout each generation, but the wars left a stain on them though.
JS - A stain?
IP - Yes, because of the death tolls of the wars, it drove so many families into extinction, many of which were families of warriors, healers, and scholars that could have shifted the world on its' axis, it was ingrained in the minds of those apart of the dueling community and practically most of the New World with the agreement of the Old World to fight against those would try to spoil the natural order of things. A prime example being Voldemort and his merry band of miserable, sadomasochistic sycophants.
JS - So if they try anything?
IP - Then they will be crushed. I'm fully aware of Britain's bigot problem and how they are practically backward compared to the rest of the world, especially when some of them are so sickeningly arrogant that it makes me glad that there are anti-discrimination laws so they can only spout their bullshit at home.
JS - Are your parents and their acquaintances anything like that?
Ivy shook her head.
IP - No. If there is one thing I like about them is that, they are not miserable bigots, they loathe Slytherins though but considering that they are Gryffindors, that's a given. Gryffindors and Slytherins hate each other, like blood-boiling hate. They don't let it taint their world view...well, most of the time.
JS - How is each generation of Supernova different from the next?
IP - You know about playing cards, right?
JS - Yes.
DF - The four suits in playing cards such as the clubs, diamonds, hearts, and spades?
JS - Yes.
IP - And with each playing deck of cards, there are two jokers. They function like wild cards, there's one big Joker and one small Joker. They are trump cards, both of them are perfect weapons, but one of them will backfire.
DF - When the new generation, they pick out one single card from a blessed 52 card deck, the chooser had to be blind-folded as it has to be fair. The choosing of the card frames the entire decade of competitive dueling.
JS - And this generation?
IP - It's a wild card, a trump card, meaning Jack of all Trades.
JS - One of the Jokers! Which one!
They shook their head as one.
IP & DF - Can't say. That would be too easy.
Jennifer really wanted to pout, she did but sighed.
JS - You are not going to make this easy, are you?
IP & DF - No.
IP - Besides, with that wild card in play, anything goes, ergo, all the means to win, magical and non-magical skills that are honed and sharped throughout the years.
JS - What can you say about each Supernova?
IP - Each Super has its own specialty and the way they move is unique to them, every single of one is amazingly powerful and I love them all.
DF - We can't say much about them as it wouldn't be fair.
IP - We all have our secrets, plus why spoil the surprise.
JS - But each tournament you all have new ways of going about your trails.
IP - That's the cold beauty of the Joker card, no one likes stale tricks. Even if it's used once.
JS - I see...I feel exhausted just thinking about it.
IP - You get used to it, but it's a lot more fun if you are into it.
JS - I can see that. Well, I cannot wait for the next tournament.
DF - Trust me, she cannot wait either.
She grinned as she cracked her knuckles in anticipation.
JS - Could you give them any details on how the Winter dueling tournament of '90, went?
IP - Ah, so you want the information on how that tournament went, huh?
DF - Well, love, they didn't show this out to the public.
IP - That's right, that one they said was special, right? It was for weeding out who would be the best fit for Supernova, correct?
DF - Very
IP - Sweet Merlin, that battle was something else.
DF - It was, nothing says, I'm going to kick your fucking teeth in than that.
IP - But can I tell them?
DF - You'll get scolded.
IP - They change it regardless, please? I'll tell them bits and pieces.
He rolled his eyes before surrendering.
DF - Fine.
IP - Yay! It's practically like that of a dungeon or should I say labyrinth, but it's more like a massive tower you know, that you have to explore, I'm pretty sure each position in the 'Novas had their own, so there were 12 for each Supernova seat as I didn't see anyone with me the entire time I went through it, or maybe because I was so focused on the objective I tuned out the vile screams of agony.
DF - I'm pretty sure it was the second one, love.
IP - Ah, did you meet others in yours?
DF- Yep, I'm sure Bear, Bunny, and Hawk met others in theirs. At least five have not while others won't say.
IP - Aw...Regardless, you have to face the big bad at the end.
JS - Big bad?
IP - You know the big bad in the movie, the main bad guy you have to defeat to get the girl and the wealthy, huh?
JS - Yes?
DF - It's pretty much like that.
IP - It was such a wonderful fight. Then they gather us all back and say, hey, you're 'Novas now, congrats.
DF - It's a bit more complicated than that, Ivy.
IP - Maybe, but that's the gist of it. That reminds me, how the hell did I become the leader anyway?
DF - Wasn't because after the trail they tried to make us fight out of the arena, but you were too annoyed and hungry and slaughtered most of them, while the rest of the monsters were cowed into submission?
IP - Oh yeah...That's how.
JS - How do you lead the group?
IP - We usually keep in contact, make sure each other is alright. I loathe pulling rank, it's just a weak button to lord over people. If you want to settle something, kick the shit out of each before talking.
JS - Does that work?
IP - Usually. But there's no real cause for a fight. Sometimes they just want a good spar or vent some stress. They are all wonderful people.
DF - She forgets that she is a very good leader, as well.
IP - Hush, I barely qualify as a leader.
DF - That's why you are a good one. You see, any other person would lord her title, especially due to being from Britain, the first one is the one in a long time and the fact that she is the leader only adds to how amazing she is. She is humble, she's protective and willing to do what it takes for her team. She doesn't give a shit about your title, your name, your blood, your race, or anything. You are a good decent person, then you are perfectly fine. You cross her, she'll rip you a new one. Cross her loved ones and you may as well have a matchbox for your coffin.
Ivy hugged him to which he wrapped his arm around her.
JS - Oh, how sweet.
IP - Remember Swain?
Damian rolled his eyes.
DF - Ugh, Insect boy...that miserable brat.
IP - It's weird that his inclination is insects instead of Weasels because that's what he is.
DF - Weasels are too good a name for the little shit.
IP - Somewhat.
DF - Maybe.
JS - Didn't he try to be your boyfriend?
IP - Called me his precious little butterfly.
DF - I want to rip off his damn head
JS - Care to explain?
IP - To make a long story short, he tried to get into our circle, now, I don't mind making friends with other competitors, more fun, and insight from another perspective.
DF - However, he's nothing but a miserable maggot. Ivy tried to be friends with him at first, which accepted at first, but it was quickly noted that he wanted to be in my current place. As her boyfriend. He would only accept being number one in her heart, which would never happen.
IP - He was clingy, prone to outbursts, and people had to walk on eggshells around him until the point that even Bunny got sick of him. The final straw was when he lashed out to get my attention, which scarred Bat and nearly sent Boar to the hospital.
DF - And that's when Ivy nearly beat the little shit to death.
She folded her arms under her breasts as she took in a deep breath.
IP - He deserved it. No one snaps at my friends. However, he still wouldn't get it, even after that. Remember when he challenged us?
DF - We crushed his little test to bits and he got banned from dueling entirely for what he attempted to do.
IP - I know all the coaches, Vincent, your parents, and everyone else wanted a bloodbath.
DF - Oh God, that's right. Mom was furious at the little shit, she swore she'd castrate him with a teaspoon if he ever appeared in front of her and many other things.
JS - But aren't teaspoons, really tiny?
DF - That's the point, Jennifer.
IP - I love your mom. Fierce as a tiger she is, that wonderful woman.
DF - Well, she considers you a daughter already, so it's not that hard to understand. No matter, he lost and he can sulk.
IP - It's a shame that his power is wasted with his shit personality.
DF - You always see potential, don't you?
IP - Every person has potential, it's just what you do with it, just like power.
DF - Like I said, an amazing leader.
IP - Charmer.
DF - I try.
JS - Well, I thank you both for your time given in this interview. It was such a wonderful time meeting both of you in person.
IP - It's a pleasure to meet you too.
DF - Please take care.
Ivy then stood up and swore, "I, Ivy Victoria Potter, swear on my life and magic that everything I have spoken about in this interview is the truth, so mote it be."
She made to write out her name in cursive with her wand before it disappeared into a group of butterflies.
The Inside Scoop of Hogwarts
The interviewer was wearing a plain white shirt with a tie, slacks, and dark loafers. He was sitting in a rather comfortable looking, puffy office chair. Ivy and Damian were across from him sitting on a leather couch. Ivy was wearing a white sundress with heeled sandals as Damian was wearing a plain white button-up shirt with a pair of jeans and high-tops.
TL - Good afternoon, Ms. Potter, Mr. Frigor. I am Ted Lanzarin, but you can call me Ted if you wish.
IP - Ted, it is, please call me Ivy.
DF - And call me, Damian.
TL - Now, when I was given this interview I have to say that I'm rather interested to hear what you have to say about Hogwarts. Especially, the truth of Hogwarts you talked about.
Ivy grinned as crossed her right leg over her left.
IP - Well, the truth is that Albus is using the school as a chessboard. As Albus is well-known and regarded as the person who put away Grindelwald, his position of power as the Headmaster of Hogwarts, Supreme Mugwump, and Chief Warlock, all three very powerful positions that have various perks. He is revered pretty much to be the second coming of Merlin to many people across Britain and not to be questioned, I mean who would dare, especially with all his supporters that would gleefully tear apart any who would dare question him.
Ted gained a troubled expression.
TL - That...sounds concerning.
IP - It rather is, especially with how he controls Hogwarts. You see, with the four houses, Gryffindors, Ravenclaws, Hufflepuffs, and then Slytherins. He favors the House of Gryffindor, which are Lions, icons of Light, to be put in simple terms, Gryffindors are the popular clique that rules the school, especially with my brother in their ranks. Slytherins, which are Snakes are considered pre-mature Dark Lords and Ladies as if wearing their colors and barring their symbol condemning them to that side. They would be considered outcasts of the entire castle. The hierarchy of the entire castle is Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and then Slytherin.
TL - But what would be Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs?
IP - For Ravenclaws, they would be nerds, Hufflepuffs would be considered Duffers or leftovers of Hogwarts.
TL - That's quite an uncomfortable comparison.
IP - It is. Each house as something that the students they are under are supposed to embody, the following with Gryffindor with their courage, Ravenclaws for their intelligence, Hufflepuff for their loyalty, and Slytherin for their cunning.
TL - All admirable traits for a person to have.
IP - And it's something people should have, people are not one-dimensional nor should they be. It causes a lack of foresight and friction where there should be known. When Adrian arrived in the castle was when things started to get hectic.
TL - How so?
IP - When Adrian started, there have multiple incidents that do not add up. Because you see, Ted, during the Halloween of his First Year he was in a situation where he had to face a Troll, something that should be nowhere near a school, let alone children. Later on, there was a creature that was attacking and killing a unicorn for its blood.
TL - WHAT?! A creature that attacked a unicorn shouldn't exist, it's practically a sin that leaves you cursed and rightfully so.
IP - That's the thing and it sickens me that Adrian was close proximity of such a creature when he was given a detention.
TL - I can understand, I'd terrified, sweet Merlin.
IP - Now during his second year, there was another incident, this time with a Basilisk.
TL - There was a Basilisk roaming around your school?
IP - The thing that shocks me was that the teachers didn't do anything, I recall multiple students both Ravenclaws and Slytherins going to their teachers informing them that it was a Basilisk, but there was no evacuation in place. It's only because of pure luck that no one died, four students with both a caretaker's cat and one of the ghosts roaming Hogwarts.
TL - Thankfully, no one died.
IP - No did, thankfully, but it seems the Basilisk had been released before. You see, there's a ghost named Moaning Myrtle who died because of that Basilisk, thankfully, she was allowed to pass on when she saw the dead body of the Basilisk. I'm glad for her, hopefully she's resting in peace now, no one deserves that.
TL - How did the Basilisk die?
Ivy smiled, pulled out her wand, and used the memory extraction spell before touching the table, causing it to show the memory.
It was of Ivy at 15, she carrying something hidden still in her wallflower disguise as she walking alone in the dark of the Hall before shooting a spell that mimicked the sunrise and caused the rooster to cry out. Then the hellish thump of something heavy behind me. It was the basilisk with its' massive fangs and maw open just inches before her.
Then the memory ended.
Damian pulled Ivy into his lap, as she grabbed his hand while Ted looked like he was about to faint.
TL - Sweet Merlin above.
IP - I got a rooster sent in, when I found out that someone had killed all of the groundkeeper's roosters, it cemented the fact that the creature that was attacking students had to be a Basilisk, the surefire way to kill the beast had to be a rooster's cry. Who or why they released a Basilisk in a school filled with children, I have no clue.
TL - What happened to the remains of the Basilisk?
Ivy grinned with a shrug of her shoulders.
IP - It's somewhere in my vault. All its fangs, meat, blood, eyes, and venom is locked up in my vault. It was around fifty feet long, its' hide, I made into clothes and boots. The rest is still somewhere in my vault.
TL - You are something else.
DF - I know, I wanted to pull her out immediately, but she swore that she would be fine. It doesn't help that she got me a jacket made out of Basilisk hide as a 'I'm sorry made you worried sick so accept this as the first part of my apology for making you worried' gift.
IP - He still enjoyed it though. I made clothes for the other members as well.
TL - They also have Basilisk hide?
IP - Well of course. Them, their coaches, Vincent, his parents, they all do. I still have a ton to spare, I need to decide what to do with it, but what can you do.
TL - I see... What happened to the petrified students?
IP - They were given the potion needed to undo certification, everything was swept under the rug and Adrian was given a reward for stopping the Basilisk.
TL - But he didn't.
She shrugged her shoulders.
IP - Now, last year, Peter Pettigrew escaped from Azkaban and it was decided much to my shock that dementors would patrol the castle grounds for the Death Eater. For most of that year, they roamed the castle grounds, it was fucking depressing, it didn't help that people had to stock up on chocolate to lessen the effects the Dementors had. Along with multiple near-death experiences, it wasn't a good year. Based on all of that, I decided it would be in my best interest to leave. I'd rather not risk my life for Albus' sick games, after all, due to Adrian being the boy-who-lived and Albus' close relationship with the Potter family, it makes me wonder what his game is.
TL - Do you think he could be trying something against your brother?
IP - I've been a student since 1988 and comparing the years I was a student there to when Adrian arrived, things don't make sense. It feels as if he's raising him for a slaughterhouse. Throughout his years there, students, and the majority of Britain constantly switching between adoration and hatred, proclaiming him to be a hero and singing his praises, while either calling him crazy, an attention seeker, or the next Dark Lord at the next moment?
TL - So that's why you hid yourself using your disguise?
IP - It's better to hide in plain sight and I wanted no part in Albus' sick little games. That-
She snapped her fingers, showing her in her outfit from Hogwarts, oversized uniform, thick glasses, and braids.
Ted took a long moment to look at her.
TL - Magical dampers?
Ivy nodded and removed her glasses.
IP - After all, who would take notice of a wallflower, thankfully due to that, they left me alone and that's all I wanted. I want no part in Britain's fair-weather culture, who needs enemies when you got fair-weather allies that are luke-warm at best?
Ivy then put her original outfit.
TL - Any other secrets?
IP - Well, with Severus Snape?
TL - Oh? The young potion master
IP - Yes, it seems he has several skeletons as well.
TL - And those would be?
IP - Do you know the attack on the Potter house, the Longbottoms, and the Bones house?
TL - It's very hard not to notice an attack on three old-bloods.
IP - Well, Snape is tied to three of those attacks.
TL - How did you know that?
IP - It seems the man can't handle his alcohol and likes to drink himself stupid on weekends, mourning the loss of his precious Lily. And well, alcohol loosens lips. You see, there's a prophecy detailing of a child who could defeat Voldemort. It was a rather strange and vague prophecy and it leaves me rather annoyed at the fact that it was told by a drunken fraud, as prophecies are subjective in nature. Due to the ugly bastard jumping the gun, it forced it into effect when it could have faded out of existence.
TL - Do you know the prophecy?
IP - I do. A girl gotta do some work and well, it helps when you are hidden and unnoticeable.
"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches... born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies... and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not... and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives... the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies..."
TL - But, but that could mean anyone? I'm pretty most people have defined him by not submitting to his plans, and plenty of children were born at the end of July, but the Dark Lord marking them as an equal? That could mean anything, but how did that man know?
IP - He was listening to half the prophecy which he slunk off to Voldemort himself. Peter Pettigrew was the person who betrayed the location of my parents and set the whole thing in motion, may he rot in Azkaban, but Snape was the person who pointed the mad bastard in their direction. He probably thought that getting James, Adrian, and myself killed off, he could get Lily all for himself. But the stupid bastard thought that Lily, despite my dislike of her would stand aside and allow Voldemort to kill her children? It seems the man is more of a dunderhead then what he likes to think of his students. He slunk off to Dumbledore to admit his crimes to get him to save Lily and that's probably how he got his position at Hogwarts when he should have gotten the kiss.
TL - What about the Longbottoms?
IP - Casualties, after all, Frank and Alice Longbottoms were Aurors and wanted nothing more than Voldemort dead. Neville's birthday is just a day before ours. Voldemort wanted to make sure and to send a message and what better way than through his head bitch, Bellatrix Lestrange?
TL - That's horrible. And the Bones family?
IP - The Bones family was his test to see if he had what it took to be a part of his Inner Circle.
Ted shuddered and pulled at the collar of his shirt.
TL - How did you-?
IP - The man may be a Slytherin in name, but no true snake shows themselves off, they hid in plain sight. All three families deserve to know the truth, I'm pretty sure Albus knows all his sins as the man wouldn't accept anything less.
DF - Love, didn't you say that the Longbottom heir was practically terrified of him?
IP - To the point that Snape is his own personal Boggart? Yes? You'd think it would be Bellatrix Lestrange, the state of his parents, or even Voldemort, but no, it's Snape of all people. That should tell you something, love. The man's a sick cookie.
TL - This is going to land Albus in a lot of hot water.
IP - And he will deserve every moment, at least with this, something can be done. And well, I want a bounty put on Snape's head.
DF - I'm sure most people are going to want to have both Albus and Snape's head on a plate for this.
TL - Of course, thank you, Ms. Potter, for taking time out of your day for this interview.
IP - It's no problem, thank you for having me.
She swore, "I, Ivy Victoria Potter, swear on my life and magic that everything I have spoken about in this interview is the truth, so mote it be."
She then transfigured the table before her into a pack of doves before turning them back.
Michael gave a low whistle, "Wow...If this doesn't cause a shitstorm in Britain, nothing will."
"This is so wonderful, Ivy, Damian. I'll probably frame the article of your love story. It's so cute," She grinned
"Oh boy, you got her started. Be wary, son, she'll probably cause the front yard and backyard to over bloom with flowers."
She puffed out her cheeks, "I can't help it. Don't tell me you don't like it?"
"Oh, beloved, I do enjoy it. I'm just happy over the fact that their interviews could cause a lot of trouble for Albus and his cronies."
"That's true!"
"That's what we're planning. I bet all those idiots are running around like chickens with their heads cut off and they can eat crow over this. Now, enough about them. Ivy, remember that I told you after the interviews, they wouldn't be on your mind, anymore?"
She raised an eyebrow, "Plan on spoiling me?"
"Of course. I'll be mindful of the time."
"Oh kids, I'll send a reminder of the time, next week we will go shopping for everything you need for school, so go knock yourselves out."
"I'm taking the vacation house in Greece," He smiled as he took Ivy away as she thanked them for breakfast as the parents watched them get ready.
"Oh, young love."
"Hmph, I remember when I whisked you off to a place where we could be alone, except it was Romania during the winter."
"What a wonderful time that was."
"I'm so happy they found each other."
"You always had a feeling, didn't you?"
She closed her eyes and smiled in a knowing way, "Think of it as a mother's intuition."
Before he could respond, the pair came back down with a pair of bags as they told them goodbye before being whisked away by portkey.
"How long?"
"Probably three to four days, maybe five, but knowing how happy our son is to finally have a say against Britain for what they had done to Ivy, I'd say five."
"Well, it seems we have the house all to ourselves, don't we?" He quipped
"We do, but Mr. Frigor, don't you have work to do?" She questioned
"Work, my love, can wait."
She pulled him close, "You're right, it can wait."
She then apparated them to their bedroom for fun.
[In Britain]
A loud scream rang through the Potter household, which caused James and Adrian to rush downstairs to find Lily Potter looking stunned at the collection of articles before her, laid all across her dining room table. All of the articles had the revealed face of her daughter.
You didn't think that you would get both the interviews and Britain's reactions, all at once did you? That's just not like me. God, creating the interviews was a mind-numbing process, but I hope you enjoyed them, I may re-write them in the future if I get the chance because some parts are hammy and I don't want to keep you all waiting for too long. Thank you all for your support of the story, they help out a lot. I'm working on updating the rest, so don't worry. Take care of yourself and be safe during this time, please.
Thank you for your reviews!
Jamesmadisonmiddle - I'm glad you enjoy my stories, it means a lot to me, and I hope you continue to enjoy my stories.
JannaKalderash - Trust me when I say I had a blast writing that as well, the Potters will have to answer questions they will not have any answers too. I have plans for dear Adrian and his behavior, but it shines a bad light on Albus as well, read and see.
Eclectica737 - I hope you will enjoy it and well, Molly, can't just keep her mouth shut, how she will react to such a thing? Well, you can only wait and see. That would be telling.
zero fullbuster - Thank you and I hope you will enjoy this update and future ones.
FateLancer17 - Well, he can't. He will most certainly try, however, but he will have to sort out his own problems first due to Ivy pulling out several skeletons Albus has kept in his closet before he can tackle his Ivy problem. Nope, they are simply countries away from Italy that Albus will send his Order to search for her, it's only to muddle his way when he stretches his search for her outside of the country.
SageMask4 - Well, I don't, and as you said, they brought it on themselves. They are more like skeletons, then beans and Damian is right, they cannot due to her being an adult. And well, even if they do find her, well, she will not go quietly with them and she'll make sure to leave them with wounds that will last for a while.
kaykay25 - Thank you and I hope you enjoy this chapter.
dannyrockon122 - Thank you for the perfect score!
38Solaire38 - Oh she will and I hope you will enjoy the interviews and their reactions.
sandipi - I hope they are to your satisfaction and she made it so, even if they were traced, it would not lead back to her home country, or at the very least make sure she has time to plan in case they do manage to track her to Italy.
(guest) Cookies - I hope you enjoy those interviews and now, because of your guest name I want cookies and donuts now.
Red Leg - I'm glad you enjoyed my stories and well...can you see into the future? Because that's what gonna happen. I hope you will enjoy this story and my other updates as well. Thank you for reading them in the first place.
Greer123 - I'm okay, the only good thing about this quarantine is that I have time to write and update.
Perseus12 - Oh, how you and everyone else that was a victim of her would have a damn field day if Rita got squished and I'm wondering how I should deal with her, give me a day, I need to rewatch Hellsing Ultimate to up my bloodlust for ideas. But enough about the bug, as much as the letter to the Queen is a powerful nuke button, I feel Ivy would want to take care of them herself with crippling them first...then the Queen option, but I need to think about it.
Shadow Wolf 15846 - I hope you will enjoy the interviews and well, Ivy was a wallflower, don't you think she would notice practically everything that goes on? There's so much dirt that Rita would turn as green as her snot-green dresses.
Terra King - Thank you and yes, dear Terra, even if I enjoy your little stories, I cannot spoil you as it would not be fair. You need to wait like everyone else.
917brat - I hope this chapter satisfies you then and I hope you will continue to enjoy my updates.
mizzrazz72 - No, they won't.
nana101 - I'm glad you enjoyed my story and I hope I won't so long with updating, but the muse comes and goes when it wants. I'm trying on updating all my stories on here and another website so, yeah. So, thank you.
NaRuKo-InuTaiSHo-XD - Thank you and I hope you will enjoy this chapter and future ones.
Guest#1 - Damian isn't from any show, he's my own creation created from inspiration from Risotto Nero from his looks, but I took inspiration from the Wake series's Cabel Strumheller as the damaged, but loving, and caring boyfriend.
the stargate time traveler - The retaliation will be in this chapter and it will be underlined with how she made a life for herself outside their view, that she doesn't need them and she became powerful with supporters that she has earned and has no need for them. So...yeah.
SapphireFlamesAsashi - I hope you will enjoy the chapter then. And they struck her first. She simply replied in turn.
Skull Flame - What better way to make sure to your enemy gets crippled than to make sure they get hit at multiple angles and directions? The hammer has fallen hard now and knows they are in the aftermath. With Molly, well, is the sky blue? And nope, Dumbles has his own shit to deal with before he can begin to tackle his Ivy problem.
DigiBountyHunter - I'm glad you enjoy the story, so you have problems with the logistics here, huh? After all, how could a set of parents who were once loving towards their daughter practically ignore her existence for thirteen years? Before you think, they could be under any spell, I suggest you stop, they aren't. They are one hundred percent guilty of their neglect towards Ivy. They cared for her when she was four, but the neglect of that happened slow first but it quickly picked up speed, as with Britain, if you know they are hellishly intrusive and the fact that a baby was able to vanquish the Dark Lord that had been plaguing them had left the Potters and their associates in the limelight so to speak. They had to juggle Britain's violently fickle public, their jobs, their fussy child along with doting on him and preparing him for an eventual confrontation with the Dark Lord at Albus' word and Ivy's care fell through the cracks of their minds. But, world-building is a slow process, reader, I can't just give you the entire cake all at once, you'll be overwhelmed. Read and find out for yourself over the course of this story.
