Rebecca Warren and The Third Wizarding War

Chapter 8: The Rich and Famous

"Albus?" Rebecca asked, raising her eyebrow.

"Rebecca? You're here too?" Albus said. "Finally, somebody we know."

"We?" Rebecca asked.

Soon enough, coming up from behind Albus was Scorpius Malfoy and Rose Granger-Weasley holding hands. Also behind them was Lily Potter and Hugo Granger Weasley.

Rebecca couldn't believe it. She and Isabelle were not the only ones who fled Britain.

"Rebecca?" Scorpius asked. "You made it out too?"

"Out of Britain you mean?" Rebecca asked, trying to shake her stare off. "Yes, just after they raided our home."

"Blimey. We only just got here about a week ago." Albus said.

"You mean you've been there the entire time the war has been going on? Have you seen my family?" Rebecca asked in hopes.

"Why don't we go find an empty compartment before we tell the world our secrets?" Scorpius said.

Rebecca nodded. They all began searching and to their amazement, they did find two empty ones. They decided to have Isabelle, Lily, and Hugo sit together in one (since they all wanted to talk together anyways). Meanwhile, Rebecca sat in the other one with Albus, Scorpius, and Rose.

Albus was a spitting image of the famous Harry Potter. Only difference was there was no scar on his forehead or glasses on his nose. Scorpius was blond with a ponytail. The last time Rebecca saw him, it was short and slicked back. He was no doubt a Malfoy. Rose was a redhead with bushy hair. A bit on the pale side too with a few freckles. She may look like a Weasley, but Rebecca knew she had the brains of Hermione Granger.

And it suddenly hit Rebecca she was in a compartment with all of the most popular and powerful kids in Britain and she was one of them. But now that fame didn't mean much of anything back home.

"So can you tell me what's going on?" Rebecca asked anxiously. Scorpius and Rose sat across from her and Albus. The three all looked at each other. Albus was the one who spoke.

"Well, your family is alright the last time we saw them, but it hasn't been easy for them."

"What do you mean?" Rebecca asked.

"Your mum is currently the most wanted witch in Britain." Rose said. "Mathaius thinks she's committed a serious crime of attempted murder on you and your sister and brother."

Rebecca was completely puzzled. "He thinks my mum tried to kill her own children?"

Scorpius said, "He's certainly nothing short of a mad hatter."

"Is anyone taking him seriously?" Rebecca continued on with her questions.

"Plenty are." Rose said. "Anyone who has anything less than two sickles to their name supports him. Half the country has turned their backs on us."

"But at least there's Dumbledore's Army and the Order of The Phoenix on our side." Albus said.

"But Mathaius has the entire Ministry of Magic on his side. We still can't fight him in the open." Rose argued.

"Has anyone... died?" Rebecca asked reluctantly.

The compartment got quiet for a moment. Rose wiped her eye and Albus said, "Our Uncle Bill was killed in a fight protecting our Aunt Fleur."

"I'm sorry." Rebecca said softly.

"When he died, that was when our parents made the decision to send us here." Albus said. "We're staying with Teddy Lupin in a small house in Rhode Island."
