About an hour had past. The outside world had changed from the cities to the countryside and apparently, the four cars in the back had broke free from the rest of the train and went a different way. They were no longer heading to Boston.

After a while, Lucy had fallen asleep which allowed Rebecca to walk out of the compartment and go check on Isabelle next door. Isabelle was currently telling Hugo and Lily a story about something. Rebecca was glad that they were able to get along so well. Rebecca wished she could say the same with Albus, Scorpius, and Rose. Things might have worked out if Lucy hadn't shown up. Rebecca was completely confused as to why Lucy and her mother had fled Britain. They were not in the slightest bit of rich or powerful. They were nothing to anyone back home.

But now with her being here, Rebecca only hoped that Lucy would find someone else to take advantage of, but that was certainly doubtful.

Rebecca opened the door. All three of them looked up at her with smiles and hellos.

"Becky, I was just about to tell them about how you saved me when those bad men came to our house." Isabelle said.

Rebecca remembered this one quite clearly. During the raid, Rebecca was told by her father to block her and Isabelle inside Rebecca's room. Rebecca had done so, leading Isabelle upstairs, but Rebecca watched through the window of the confrontation.

"Anthony Warren, you are hereby declared an enemy of the Magical Community of Britain. Under the authorization of Mathaius Burgess, Minister of Magic, you and your family are under arrest."

"That won't be happening."

Rebecca then remembered the duel between Anthony, Valèrie, Ray, and Bella, against the Ministry.

Rebecca couldn't stand to watch her family get hurt. She probably done the stupidest thing ever and ran downstairs with her sister and wand in hand. Just as they reached the landing, a wizard came from the backdoor to sneak up on the Warrens. Rebecca had seen him just in time to send him flying into the ceiling with a knock back charm.

Isabelle believed that the man was about to hurt her and Rebecca stopped him and Rebecca decided to let her keep with that story to win some points for coolest sister ever.

Isabelle finished talking about it and both Lily and Hugo were amazed by the story.

"That's incredible!" Hugo said.

"The most my brothers ever done was one pranked a lot and the other got in trouble for time turning." Lily said.

"Time turning?" Rebecca asked.

"Oh yes. Albus was in serious trouble with the Ministry before Mathaius took over." Lily said.

Rebecca had not heard anything about this, but she didn't keep up with the news. She had never cared about it up until her father told her how dangerous Mathaius was.

"He and Scorpius and that Delphi girl got into trouble." Hugo said. "Delphi was actually Voldemort's daughter. Now she's in Azkaban for it."

Rebecca did remember hearing about Voldemort's daughter being arrested. Mathaius brought it up in one of his speeches.

The intercom on the train came alive with a click. The conductor, though Rebecca was sure there wasn't one physically on the train, began to speak.

"Welcome students of Ilvermorny to Mount Greylock. We'll be pulling into the station soon, so please have all of your belongings together and remember to change into your robes before we arrive. Thank you."

Rebecca and the others looked out their window. They were rounding the base of a mountain that had a misty cloud sitting atop it. Beside the tracks were buildings, probably made by muggles. It was already becoming nightfall, but the sun was being blocked out by the mountain so it looked extremely dark.
