"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."

Rebecca nodded. She had many more questions, but she didn't want to annoy them or even make them think about their uncle's death. Instead, she told them about her situation living in New York City with Kate.

She had just finished her story about the deal with MACUSA not granting her and Isabelle citizenship.

"We were denied it too." Albus said. "All of us."

"If you ask me, it's all politics here." Scorpius said. "There's probably a bunch of them who don't want us here and got a law changed or something."

"But you'd think they would make an exception for us." Rose said. "Look at who our parents are."

"Criminals." Came a voice from the doorway. Everyone turned to look at who said it. Rebecca nearly gasped.

"Lucy Parkinson?" Rose said in amazement. "No, maybe your mum is, but not any of ours."

Lucy smirked, "You would say something like that, wouldn't you? But that's not the point." She came in and sat down beside Rebecca. "Hey best friend." She said to her before going back to her speech. "You all know our parents are seen as criminals by the Ministry. The Ministry and MACUSA have to work with each other. They know we're running away. They don't trust us because for all they know, Mathaius is right about us."

"But they must realize that Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger are not the enemy?" Scorpius said. "I mean, I could understand if they wanted my dad, but not the heroes."

"Doesn't matter anymore if they're heroes." Lucy said. "Now they're whatever Mathaius wants them to be and he wants them dead. And he wants us dead too."

"Why would he want us dead?" Albus asked.

"Oh, I don't know. Maybe because he's afraid we'll fight him too for killing their parents?" Lucy said. She turned to Rebecca and said, "Don't you agree? MACUSA is already watching us. Don't suppose any of you seen someone following you, did you?"

Everyone shook their heads, not buying it, but Rebecca spoke. "Someone did follow me and Isabelle to the platform."

"Who was it?" Scorpius asked.

"It had to be a witch." Rebecca said. "I didn't catch her face though."

"Look, we all need to stick together when we get to Ilvermorny." Lucy said.

"We'll do just fine on our own." Rose said. "We've already got each other looking out." Albus and Scorpius nodded. Lucy looked infuriated.

"Is this because of who my mum is? So what that she's Pansy Parkinson?"

"Your mum has done a lot of bad things." Scorpius said. "I mean, my father isn't a goody two shoes, but he has given up the things he did in school, but your mum..."

Next thing Rebecca knew, Lucy had put her arm around her. "Becca here has my back though. I know she does. Dontcha?"

Rebecca nodded and she expected everyone to be caught surprised, but they showed no reaction. At least, not until Rose said, "Well, you two enjoy that then. We're getting out of this compartment and leave you two to watch your backs." She shot a glare at Scorpius who reluctantly got up and this forced Albus to follow along as well.

Now Rebecca was alone with Lucy who turned and hugged Rebecca. "Thanks for that. They're a bunch of hypocrits. I already knew they wouldn't side with me, but they sure dropped you like a rock, but hey. At least you got me now." She let go of Rebecca and smiled at her. Rebecca gave a weak smile back.

Rebecca had met Lucy back in their first year at Hogwarts and became friends, but the friendship turned into benefiting just Lucy as she began to take advantage of Rebecca. At first it was simple things such as homework copying, but last year it got worse. Rebecca had began to take the fall for things Lucy had done.

The only reason Rebecca had not dropped the friendship was because Lucy was her only friend. They were both Slytherins in the same year so it was even more difficult to distance herself from Lucy.

Rebecca hoped that this would change with the new situation they were both in.

"Are you alright, Becca?" Lucy asked with concern.

"I'm... I'm fine. It's good to see you." Rebecca finally said.

"It's been a while. Like a whole summer. I had no idea you were coming here." Lucy hopped up and went to the other seat and laid across it and propped her head on her hands.

"I got here not long after the war started." Rebecca said, now making herself comfortable in the corner of the seat. She faced Lucy. For some reason, Rebecca just didn't want to turn her back towards her.

"Same. Me and mum are in New Jersey. It's a rundown muggle apartment. Mum's able to pay the bills to live there alright though. She's been having to do things she's not proud of though."

"What do you mean? Like muggle work?" Rebecca asked.

Lucy looked embarrassed, "Something like that. So who are you staying with?"

"A cousin who is a muggle." Rebecca said. "Isabelle and I both are."

"Isabelle is here?" Lucy asked. "Where is she?" Lucy looked around like she was expecting Isabelle to be in the compartment.

"She's next door with Albus and Rose's younger siblings." Rebecca said.

"To be honest, I don't know if I really trust them. At least that Rose." Lucy said. "She's got a terrible attitude. I guess being a Gryffindor will do that to you."

Rebecca didn't say anything.

"Or perhaps that's where all the ones like her end up at. I mean, look at your brother." Lucy laughed.

"Don't you think we're getting too old to be making house jokes?" Rebecca said. Sure, she had her fair share of picking at Gryffindor. Her own brother was one, but Rebecca felt they were not funny anymore.

"We don't have to make jokes. They do that for themselves already." Lucy continued to laugh.

"Look, they're not bad people. Albus and Scorpius are in Slytherin like us."

"Yeah, but they don't fit. If you ask me, the sorting hat only put Scorpius in because of his father while Albus was able to trick the hat. Honestly, they're both a disgrace to the house."

Rebecca was getting annoyed with Lucy now, but Rebecca wasn't sure how to handle her. If it was anybody else, she might have hurt them, but Lucy was more than just a person. Rebecca also didn't need to be kicked off the train before even going to school.

Rebecca was about to defend Albus and Scorpius when Lucy changed subjects.

"So, you know where this school is?"

Rebecca replied, "No idea, but I've heard the train goes to Boston I think."

"I really don't want to go. Mum is making me because they can support me better than she can right now." Lucy said.

"Why don't you want to go?" Rebecca asked.

Lucy sat up. "I just got a bad feeling that a lot of these American students won't like us refugees being here."

Rebecca figured as much considering what she heard from the group of students in the first compartment, but she wasn't going to give Lucy anything else to strengthen her feelings.
