Rebecca Warren and The Third Wizarding War

Chapter 2: A New World

The sun was beginning to rise as the plane carrying Rebecca and Isabelle finally landed. It was an odd feeling, but at least neither of them threw up like one of the muggles had done right on poor flight attendant lady who served them coffee.
Despite the early landing, it took about an hour before Rebecca and Isabelle were allowed anywhere but the holding area until their cousin, a muggle herself, showed up to pick them up.
The Warren sisters were the only two in the family who fled from the war. While her brother, Ray, was allowed to stay and fight, Rebecca had no choice but to flee. Isabelle had a mental condition and Rebecca had to be with her to help her with it, so even if she was allowed to fight, she couldn't. She had always been there for her sister and not even a war would make her stop now.

Rebecca and Isabelle weren't the only kids in the holding area. There was another boy about their age, 13 or 14, and he was playing with some kind of device. Rebecca was curious, but thought better about asking what it was.

"Excuse me." Isabelle asked him. "What is that you're playing with?"

The boy never looked up but said irritably, "It's a phone."

"And what do you do on it?" Isabelle furthered her curiosity.

The boy smirked and said, "It can tell dumb people to go away for starters."

Rebecca found no humor in his remark and eyed him. Of course he was still stuck on his phone thing.

"What do you mean?' Isabelle asked.

The boy sighed and said, "Like I can ask Siri to tell this stupid girl to go away. Watch. Hey Siri- ugh."

Rebecca got up and pinned the boy against the wall. "Why don't you ask Siri how to apologize to my sister?"

The boy was frightened so bad, he didn't dare squirm to break free. She had him by the throat. He gagged a couple of times before he quickly choked up, "S-s-sorry."

Rebecca let him go and he moved to a new seat that was as far away from the sisters as possible. Rebecca looked at Isabelle who was looking down at her feet. Rebecca sat back down beside her and said in a low voice, "Issy, we have to be careful asking muggles questions." Isabelle nodded. "Sorry. Maybe I am stupid though."
'No, you're not." Rebecca said. "You're a very smart person." She gave Isabelle a hug. Isabelle was alright, but Rebecca was on the verge of tears. It had not even been a full day in America and Rebecca was already threatening people.

"Rebecca and Isabelle Warren?" an airport security officer called out. Rebecca broke the hug slowly and turned to look at the man who called her out. "Your guardian is here." He said, realizing that there was no other females in the holding area.

Rebecca and Isabelle grabbed their bags and headed to him.

"Isabelle Felicity Warren. " The security officer said at the desk, looking through paperwork. "Age 13, born May 6, 2007. Birthplace, Newtown, Lyndhurst, UK. Is this correct?"

"Yes." Isabelle said with a smile. "How did you know all of that?"

The security officer playfully said, "I can do magic."

"Oh really? So can-"

"What about me?" Rebecca asked, immediately cutting off Isabelle.

The security officer looked down at the paper and read, "Rebecca Andrea Warren, Age 15. Born December 12, 2005. Birthplace, Newtown, Lyndhurst, UK." He looked up to get a response from Rebecca who simply nodded. "Welcome to America, ladies." The officer said with a big smile. "You can go through here and your guardian will be right there." He gestured to a door and the Warren sisters headed through it.

On the other side, an anxious looking woman with blonde hair, wrapped up in a ponytail was on a similar device that the boy was using. She looked up from it and turned her focus to Rebecca and Isabelle walking up to her. She put on a big smile and said, "Hi there."
"Hi. Are you our cousin, Kate?" Isabelle asked with enthusiasm.

"Yes I am." Kate said proudly. "Your father will be happy to know you two made it safely. I'll just have to figure out how to send that owl to him."

This was the one thing Rebecca forgot about her cousin. Kate was a muggle. Somehow she didn't have magical abilities when her second cousin had them. That didn't matter to Rebecca. Despite dealing with Slytherin-House stereotypes, she never had a problem with muggles or muggle-borns.

"So you must be Isabelle then?" Kate asked the blonde girl.

"That's right." Isabelle said. "And this is my sister, Rebecca, but I call her Becky."

Kate look at Rebecca and said nicely, "Well hello there, Becky."

"Hi." Rebecca said awkwardly and quietly.

Kate looked like she wanted to further the conversation but she hesitated and instead went to go pick up the girls' bags and said, "Well, shall we head home then?"

"I'm ready." Isabelle said enthusiastically.

Rebecca didn't want to think of America as her new home. She would rather be in Lyndhurst where her true home is. She followed Kate and Isabelle anyways out of the airport and to a car.

Rebecca was familiar with these. Her father had one to drive them to King's Cross Station to board the Hogwarts Express. Too many for side apparition.

Kate placed the luggage in the trunk and opened the back door for Rebecca and Isabelle. The car was white and had an interesting front side to it that looked like a catfish mouth opened. Rebecca got in with Isabelle taking the seat behind the driver's seat. Inside the car, Rebecca found a carrying bag. She moved it over, though it was slightly heavy.

Kate hopped inside the car and pushed a button to turn it on and before they pulled out, Kate had them fasten their seat belts, then they finally drove off.
