A/N I know it's been ages since I updated, but school has been manic. Plus I've just had 2 teeth out. I finally decided what to do with Lily (thanx to CystalizedHeart on that). Not sure on James or Harry yet. To be redeemed or not to be? That is the question. Give your opinions and keep the reviews comin. Also I wrote a short HarryXDraco story. So check it out if you like that type of story.

Chapter 21

Returning home

The train came to a slow stop, and Rebecca jumped out of her seat. She'd found the carriage, where the twins, in, Dean and Seamus were sat. They'd talked about random stuff for most of the journey, but Rebecca had been a bundle of nerves and excitment for the last 15 minutes. Now the train had stopped and she was already trying to get her case don.

'Rebecca calm down.' said Dean, whilst sat on Seamus's lap.

'I'm just really excited.

'We know.' said all 5 of them.

'Sorry guys.' apologised Rebecca.

'Well all I can say, is that this guy has got to be someone special.' said Gin.

'He is definately special.' said Rebecca.

Once Rebecca was outside, she looked around for Draco. The twins and Gin had gone of too their mother. Whilst Seamus and Dean had gone throught the platform gate, to meet heir parents. Rebecca saw the Potter's get off, but didn't bother to look to long. She eventually saw Draco get off and head towards his parents.

'Hey Draco!' shouted Rebecca.

Draco turned round, and looked at her. He bekoned for her to hurry up, and went over to his parents. Rebecca looked back at Gin and the twins. The Weasley family was definately a large one. There were 7 children all together. 6 boys and 1 girl. Rebecca, dragged her case over to the Lucius and Narcissa. She placed Midnight's trave case on top of it, and looked at the two adults.

'I'll be back in a sec.' said Rebecca, beofre hurrying off.

She ran back towards Gin, and tapped her on the shoulder. Gin spun around, and squealed in delight. Rebecca gave Gin a quick hug, and the the twins. She saw Ron, give her a galre, but didn't bother ith it.

'And who might this young lady be?' asked a man, who Rebecca guessed to be Mr. Weasley.

'Dad, this Rebecca.' introduced Gin. 'Rebecca Potter.'

'Rebecca Potter!' exclaimed a woman, who Rebecca thought to be Mrs. Wealsey.

'Mum, she doesn't like the attention.' scolded Fred.

'Oh I'm sorry dear. It's just everyone thought you were dead.' said Mrs. Wealsey.

'I'm sure Gin, Fred and George can fill you in on the details.' said Rebecca, knowing it would take far to long.

'Well you must come over and visit along with your brother and parents sometime.' said Mrs. Weasley.

'Actually Mrs. Weasley I'm not staying with the Potters.' said Rebecca. 'But I would love to come and visit over the holidays.'

'You'll be very welcome.' said Mr. Weasley.

Rebecca smiled gratefully at Mr. and Mrs. Weasley. Then she pulled out 3 money bags, and chucked one each to Gin, Fred and George.

'Their thank-you presents.' she said, when they looked questioningly at them.

'Thank-you presents?' asked Gin.

'Yeah, for being their for me this term. Even after all the stuff you've been through.' explained Rebecca.

'Rebecca we did that...' began Fred.

'...because we're friends.' fiished George.

'Yeah, but I wanted to give this to you. Now I've really got to go, so enjoy your holidays.' she said, and ran off before they'd seen amuch she'd given them.

She got back to the Malfoys, all of who were looking at her questioningly. Rebecca just shrugged.

'I just gave them a preset each. Well I gave Gin, Fred and George a present each.' said Rebecca.

'How much did you give them?' asked Draco.

'Not a lot.' answered Rebecca.

There was a squeal from someone on the platform. Rebecca looked at Gin who'd gone pale, as had Fred and George. All three were looking at the contents of their bag. Rebecca turned back to Draco, who had a raised eyebrow.

'O.K., not much in our eyes.' corrected Rebecca.

'I think now would be a good time to leave.' said Narcissa.

'Yes, I have to escort a certain young lady home.' said Lucius.

Rebecca smiled. She was going home. Lucius pulled out a silver watch, and held it out. Rebecca guessed it was a portkey. She glanced round one last time, but not before seeing Harry point her out to his parents. Rebecca waved at them, as all three paled, before grabbing hold of the portkey and disappearing.

They all arrived in a small village. Rebecca recognised it straight away, as the place she'd arrived in when Tom had rescued her. She tapped her case with her wand, and it shrunk. She picked it up and put it in her pocket. Then she held onto Midnight's travel case tightly, before setting off running. She ran up the hill, having found a new burst of energy, and looked at Riddle Manor. She was home. She saw a familiar animal come up to her. She looked at Nagini, and then opened up Midnight's case. The snake slithered out and greeted Nagini. Smiling happily, Rebecca raced to the front door. She knocked on the door, and waited. The door opened, and Rebecca eye's locked with red ones. Rebecca leaped and threw her arms around Tom's neck. He caught her perfectly, and hugged her back.

'Welcome home love.' he whispered in her ear.

Rebecca pulled her head back, and brushed her lips against Tom's. 'I'm glad to be back.' she whispered.

Tom closed the small gap and captured her lips, with his own. She felt her insides melt again, as his tongue ran across her lips. There was a cough from behind, and Rebecca broke away. She turned her head to find all 3 Malfoys standing their. Rebecca blushed, and turned back to Tom.

'Later.' she whispered, before wrigling out of his grasp.

She turned back to Draco. 'Well I'll see you over the holidays.' she said.

'Yeah. There's an inner circle meeting sometime, so I'll probably see you then.' said Draco.

Rebecca turned to look at Tom. 'When's the meeting?' she asked.

'December 24th.' answered Tom.

Rebecca turned to Draco. 'See you Christmas Eve then.'

'Definately.' said Draco.

After biding goodbye to all 3 Malfoy's, Rebecca and Tom were left alone. Midnight and Nagini were still outside, and would be catching up. Rebecca turned to Tom, and jumped into his arms again. She wrapped her legs around his waist, while his hands held onto her arse.

'Now where were we?' she asked mockingly.

Tom smirked at her, and kissed her again. Rebecca excepted his kiss, glad to be finally be home.
