Oh dear lord, has it already been like two weeks since I updated this?? I am so sorry yall; I've just been busy with life and work and doing classes here that this completely slipped my mind. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this chapter! <3

Ivy flopped down on her bed, exhausted after a long day of classes. Five of the week's classes were done, and only three more to go until the weekend. She loved all of the classes, but they could still get exhausting, especially Potions and Defense Against the Dark Arts. Transfiguration wasn't until Friday, though, which was sad as that was her favorite class, but at least that meant she got to end each week on a great note. 

Since the 9th, she hadn't had any contact with her blood relatives and refused to look at any potential Owls until after the holidays had passed. Holidays were rough enough for her, but dealing with a hateful family was not high on her list of enjoyable activities. 

So instead, she was going to spend the holidays at one of her friend's homes until Hogwarts classes restarted in the New Year. It would hopefully be a good time, but she had never stayed at a friend's home for any extended period of time. Dawn was a really good friend, though, and Ivy was sure the two weeks they would be spending together would be a time of sleepovers and doing makeup, and just getting to experience the girly childhood she had never gotten. 

Growing up, AMAB had not been an enjoyable time for her, but now she was starting to live her true self, and while it was slow, it was better than her first childhood. She hadn't started HRT yet, a Muggle option for transitioning, but she hoped to begin in the new year. 

Classes, in general, were going well for her, as she had O's in all of them, which she hoped to finish the year with. What type of Ravenclaw would she be without outstanding grades for her entire time at Hogwarts? Oh! She had also gotten her first wand on Saturday from Ollivanders. It was a beautiful wand, 14", ebony wood, and a dragon heartstring. She loved it wholeheartedly and couldn't wait to use it more during future classes. 

Well, most of everything that has gone on is related to Hogwarts, with a bit of my personal life mixed in. I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter, and I will hopefully upload a new one before too long. If any of you need notes for classes, check out my collection of books (one for each class but Flying) that have all my notes from each lesson. Love you all! <3
