Setting: This is set after OotP. There are some hints, concerning who Rebecca's father is. I think I'll let you guess who the father is.

Chapter 3: Platform 9 ¾ and Hogwarts Express

Rebecca woke up excited, to finally be going to Hogwarts, not just for a sorting ceremony, but for a whole school year. She went over to her trunk and made sure that everything that her and her mother bought the day previously was packed away, and that Chloe her kitten was in her carrier, and ready to go as well. She got dressed, in a dark green skirt, and a white camisole top. Mary woke up watching her daughter.

"Are you ready?" she asked Becky. "Let me get dressed, and we'll be on our way."

"All ready Mum." Becky answered her mother.

They leave for the train station, Mary reminds her daughter about the barrier between platform 9 and 10. A steward helped getting a couple of trunks and the cat kennel on to one of the pushcarts. They walk towards platforms 9 and 10. Rebecca started to run towards the barrier, after looking around and runs through it followed by her mother.

Becky stands with her trunks and kennel, as a tall male comes over to her, with white blond hair and cold gray eyes. He looks her up and down, sneering at her. He walked over to his friends, and looked back over at Becky, with a look that said 'I'm better then you.' She rolled her eyes, and turned back to her mother, watching her trunks being loaded onto the train. She grabbed the kennel, along with a small tote bag, waving to her mother as Becky boarded the train.

She walked through the train, looking for a compartment. She finally found one; she entered it, and sat down looking out the window, watching the other students milling about and watching them board the train. After a few moments Harry, Ron, Hermione and a couple of their friends joined her, as they all sat down getting ready for the journey.

Becky looked at all of them. "Hello Harry, Ron, and Hermione." She told them.

"Hello." They all said in unison.

She looked at the others in the compartment, and smiled. She was introduced to Neville, and a couple of others. Soon after the train was underway, the tall blond male stood in the entryway, with his two thugs.

"Well, well if it isn't Potter, Weasel, and the Mudblood." He sneered at all of them.

Becky stood up and walked over to him, as she crossed her arms over her chest. "Who are you calling a mudblood, blondie?" she asked him.

"Oh look a mudblood looking out for a mudblood." He chuckled, looking at his two friends.

"Are you calling me a mudblood?" she asked him. "I've got news for you blondie, I'm a Pureblood." Smiling innocently, as she pulled out her wand, and cursed him. Thinking he'd look good as a rat, but casts the jelly leg curse, as well as a tickle charm on him. She looked to the two thugs. "If I were you, I'd take your friend away, the jelly leg, and the tickle charm will wear off by the time we get to Hogwarts." She watched the two boys take the blond boy away. Becky turned towards her newfound friends, and she noticed the shocked look on their faces.

"You're a pureblood?" asked Harry.

"Thank you for standing up for me." Hermione said.

"Malfoy is such a bloody git." Ron told Becky.

"Yes, you' re welcome, and watch the language." She said smiling at them.

As they neared Hogwarts, they were all ready. Had their robes on, and all of their possessions in their grasp, as the train neared to the destination and finally coming to a stop. All of the students disembarked, Becky noticed that Malfoy, was walking with a limp, and probably the cause of the jelly legs curse.
