Rebecca POV:

Soon enough, time flew out of the window, laughing in my face as it went. It was the 1st of September already, my first day at Hogwarts... going through the barrier was fun, a great adrenaline rush, but I truly hoped none of the non-magical people noticed or tried to recreate that.

The problem with the barrier, I fell down whilst going through.

"What a wonderful place to sit, muggle-born I presume" looking up I saw a boy grinning down at me, offering me a hand up, and at that point whilst looking around, I wasn't too happy about wearing the Amish clothes in front of all these people.

"I agree that it's a wonderful place to sit as the way from home is far from here..." I paused before actually thinking about the second part of his statement. "What's a muggle-born?" he chuckled slightly at my question.

"Definitely a muggle-born... I'll explain on the train"

"SIRIUS" I heard a voice scream in the distance and the boy in front of me winced.

"Come on" pulling me to my feet by my hand he then continued to drag me onto the train.

O.o

"So what are you called Milady?" he asked, though I had a distinct feeling that though being polite, he was mocking me.

"Rebecca... what's yours?"

"Sirius... Sirius Black" he said his last name with a type of distaste, ending the subject, though he did do his best to explain everything he could to me, and before long two other boys sat down in the compartment, causing all conversation to come to an end.

I myself sat next to a boy with glasses, trying my best not to stare at the kid in front of me. All in all, he was ugly, very ugly! His hair looked as though it had never really been washed an hung limply down, and his clothes were completely tattered, dirty and too big for him...

"Sev" a girl's voice said as the compartment door opened. The girl was almost opposite to the guy who she sat next to, she had vibrant red hair that looked pristine and perfect and her clothes were obviously new.

"Lilly" he replied... well at least I now knew their names, I partially tuned out though, simply staring at the station as I waited, seeing groups of parents standing and waving or still saying goodbye.

"You better be in Slytherin" I vaguely heard a voice say.

"Slytherin, I'd rather leave than be in Slytherin" the boy next to me stated obnoxiously, bringing me back to reality. "Wouldn't you agree?" I sank down in my seat, trying not to be noticed.

"My whole families been in Slytherin" Sirius said glumly, looking down almost sadly.

"Blimey, and I thought you were alright"

Suddenly Sirius grinned again, his gray eyes sparkling in amusement. "Maybe I'll break the tradition, where are you going?"

"Gryffindor, where dwell the brave at heart! Like my dad... got a problem with that?" the other boys said rather... melodramatically.

"No if you'd rather be brawny than brainy..." so called Sev mocked, and I thought this was getting down right ridiculous.

"Then where do you hope to go, seeing as your neither?" Sirius laughed.

"Come on Severus we're leaving" the red-head huffed, grabbing him and pulling him out before he could respond, and the two boys immediately teased them, when suddenly Severus fell. Looking the other boy had his foot out in front of him.

"See ya Snivellus" the boy with glasses laughed as the door closed. "I'm James by the way, James Potter"

"Sirius Black, and that's Rebecca I don't know her last name"

"Nissley" I added after he was finished.

"Why do you wear that?" James asked bluntly looking at the kapp on my head and the long dress, I blushed in embarrassment, remembering that I'd forgotten to take them off once I got on the train.

"My parents are Amish" I mumbled, untying the kapp and pulling it off. "Amish people wear clothes like these as an expression of their faith" I explained, before pulling my hair out of the bun it had almost always been in, and though it sounds stupid and I can't explain it, it felt way better without it, so I just let my hair dangle down, though sadly it went to my butt.

"What's Amish mean?" Sirius said, cocking his head to the side questioningly.

"They're a group of people who... separate themselves from the rest of the world to help them follow the bible. We dress the way we do to... encourage humility and show that we separate ourselves from others... something along those lines. There's no technology as it 'weakens family structure' so unlike normal muggles" I paused slightly to smile at Sirius. "We don't have automobiles or anything else that could cause inequality. Girls and women are also not allowed to cut their hair" I pointed to my hair which at the current moment was trailing on the seat.

The nodded, apparently taking in the message and before long two more people entered.

"Could we please sit here, all the other compartments are full" the blonde one asked nervously, he had a ragged and sickly look to him, and the boy following him was pudgy, fat and seemed scared.

"Of course, the more the merrier" James stated, going back to the melodramatics, though before they walked in, I quickly swapped sides so they'd sit next to James... hopefully... yup, the pudgy one that scared me sat next to him, while the blonde one sat beside me... oh well...

"I'm James Potter, that's Sirius Black and Rebecca Nissley" I barely listened as we were introduced, nodding slightly when my name was mentioned though.

"Peter Pettigrew" the boy squeaked... I already dislike him, he'd probably turn out to be the type who'd need the others to protect him and if caught along say everything to save his own skin.

"Remus Lupin" the other boy said quietly before opening up a book to start reading.

"BLOOD-TRAITOR, YOU'RE A DISAPPOINTMENT YOU ARE" the same shrill voice from earlier screeched. "ASSOCIATING WITH BLOOD-TRAITORS AND MUD-BLOODS LIKE THE GIRL, DON'T THINK BELLATRIX DIDN'T TELL ME!"

"What's a mud-blood" I questioned as the train started pulling out of the station, jumping slightly as I realized we were moving.

"Well... it's... um... never mind"

Quickly changing the subject, James and Sirius taught me about Quidditch, the rules, the players and so on.

O.o

We sat in the boats and because it was four per boat, Peter ended up going in the one behind us, we were talking animatedly until we went around the corner, and got our first look at the school, the lights were on making everything seem brilliant, and looking at the others I wasn't the only one amazed at the sight.

"A memory to never forget" I whispered, smiling at the others.

"Agreed love" I didn't bother to question Sirius on the new pet name, deciding to live with it before he found a worse one.

By the time we reached the hall I was panicking... almost hyperventilating.

"Calm down love, nothing's going to happen, we'll be sorted and then move on with our lives" Sirius attempted to calm me, though he himself was obviously nervous.

"What if one of us is put in Slytherin though?" he didn't answer my question, but did put his finger on my lips, basically telling me to stop being so pessimistic about everything and shut up before everyone else we knew had a panic attack... yup... that sums it all up!

Then we were lead into the hall.

I was well aware of my newly found friends breathing become rapider as we walked in, though it happened to me to, my heart hammering as I walked through, worrying whether we'd be split up, and when the first name was called, I knew we were going to have to find out.

"Black, Sirius" I squeezed my eyes shut shortly, and by the time I opened them, he already had the hat on his head. It took ages, literally before anything happened, though I saw his eyes flicker to the rest of us for a while before the answer was called.

"GRYFFINDOR" the hat screamed, I smiled at him, giving him a thumbs up like the rest of the boys were; now we'd just wait.

"Evans, Lilly" the red head from the train walked up nervously, and sat down, it looked almost like she was having an argument with it, and she suddenly gave a disapproving look, glancing at the yellow and red tables.

"GRYFFINDOR" great, Sirius was with her... someone wasn't coming out alive! Though, being the 'curious' person I was, I noticed she was sadly looking at Snivellus, rather pathetic in my mind, wouldn't you agree.

Remus was next, and he got into Gryffindor like Sirius and Lilly did.

"Nissley, Rebecca" I held my breath as I walked up, only daring to breathe once I was sitting on the stool with the hat on my head.

"Well, well, well... what do we have here?" a voice in my head asked, I was slightly shocked, but made sure not to show it.

"Nothing, or maybe a lot... but can you just put me in Gryffindor and get it over with?"

"Your life would be a lot easier if you went into Ravenclaw child, you could make it"

"Don't think so, Gryffindor please..."

"Alright then... if you choose it... GRYFFINDOR" it finally screamed to the whole school. Professor McGonagall removed it from my head and I immediately leapt off the stool, basically running the cheering house, straight to Sirius and Remus.

"Good job love"

"Just two left, I myself think Pettigrew's more of a Hufflepuff though, don't you agree?" I grinned, directing the question more at Remus.

Of course, sadly enough he ended up a Gryffindor, meaning that all of us would be together, including Lilly.

"Snape, Severus" my head shot up, as did those of the boys when the name of our newly found enemy was mentioned. I snickered slightly as he walked up, one of the last to be sorted, probably would've been the last picked if there wasn't a list too!

It didn't stay on his head for long, but before the hat called which house he was in we already knew what to expect.

"SLYTHERIN"

On the bright side we were then allowed to eat, and we were joking all the way through, earning disapproving glances from Lilly... and Remus... what was he, a traitor already?

Thanks heaps to everyone who reviewed, and I don't mind criticism as long as there's an explanation... criticism helps us improve! Please Read and REVIEW!
