Rebecca Warren and The Third Wizarding War

Chapter 13: Rolf Scammander

After Defense Against The Dark Arts, Rebecca couldn't help herself but to vent.

"If I hear one more thing about my family, or me being here in a bad way, I'll kill them." Rebecca said.

"Whoah, easy, easy, Rebecca." Andrew said with a hand on her shoulder.

"Yeah, don't say things like that." Morgan added. "You can get thrown out for saying that you know."

"So then send me back because at least there are some people there wanting me." Rebecca exclaimed.

"Well, we want you here." Morgan said, also placing her hand on Rebecca's other shoulder. "You are our friend now."

"Thanks... I'm just so sick of this." Rebecca exclaimed.

"You'll be okay." Andrew reassured her.

The day got worse for Rebecca though. During Herbology, Rebecca overheard whispers coming from Vanessa's table, but every time Rebecca looked over, they would stop and she knew Professor Hussey heard them, but he didn't bother to try to stop them. He actually pretended to look preoccupied when he walked past their table.

Rebecca didn't find out what it was they were whispering about until No-Maj Studies. Rebecca was trying her best to understand what Professor Barnes was talking about with the Internet. She now understood why few students took this elective. Professor Barnes took the class far too seriously.

During his lecture about something called social media, Rebecca overheard a group nearby.

"Yeah. She's got a horrible attitude. I guess it comes with the face...."

"The way Professor Stetson put her in her place was fantastic. Maybe she'll make sure Warren gets booted out of here along with her sister."

"She must be dumb. I mean how can you grow up and not have learned one nonverbal spell?"

It was the first day of classes and she was fed up with it all, but she kept her cool. She knew she had to, but not being able to do anything made her feel depressed.

Fortunately, Rebecca did not hear a single rumor during Culinary Arts In Magic. There were only twelve fifth year students who signed up for it. She and Morgan were in this class and Albus Potter had signed up for it too.

For the first time, Rebecca found a class she enjoyed. Professor Aires was a very enthusiastic cook and she was more than happy to have Rebecca and Albus in the class. Mostly because it was so difficult to get people to sign up as the students, depending on what time of the day it was, would cook the foods provided for the rest of the school and for this class, it would be their job to cook dinner every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

Rebecca had some experience in cooking with her mom, but never done it with magic, which intrigued her. Despite her mother growing up in an all magical purebloid family, she preferred muggle cooking when it came down to family meals.

Professor Aires decided to put everyone into pairs, but she was going to select the pairing for them. Rebecca was placed with Albus.

Rebecca had only spoken to Albus a few times at Hogwarts. Most of them were in the library during quidditch matches because neither of them liked the sport and didn't attend games. The library was the only place that had anything interesting during that time.

Rebecca walked over to Albus' table. At least this was better than someone she didn't know at all. Albus appeared to be grateful too. He greeted her with a smile but Rebecca did not smile back. She wasn't happy that he walked out on her on the train ride.

"Hey." He greeted. "Looks like it's you and me."

"So it would seem." Rebecca said as she sat down beside him.
