The next morning was September the 1st and Rebecca awoke at 7:00 o clock to prepare for her journey to Hogwarts. She had been told by Her new best friend Harry k that to get to Hogwarts they would need to board the Hogwarts express which had been taking students to and from Hogwarts for so many years and now they would be the next generation to experience a dream come true. The train left at 11 giving now 4 hours to get ready. First Rebecca Finished packing and she fed her owl which she had named Squawk, as he always made really high pitched noises every so often. Then she prepared a bag to have on the train which contained her Hogwarts robes and wand. Her robes would apparently change to the colour of her house once she had been sorted but for now they were just plain black. She had also gathered a few books to read on the train including her favourite "Hogwarts: a history" and some money for the sweet trolley.
When all her stuff was packed a ready to go and she had completely made sure that the room was spotless, she gathered her trunk, owl and bag and dragged it down the stairs into the main lobby and went to have breakfast. The two Harrys were sitting together at the far table staring at what looked like a book filled with cards and stickers of some sort. She wandered over and sat down on the opposite side facing them. "What's that your reading or at least looking at" she said still half asleep
Her brother replied "It's Harrys chocolate frog card collection, he has like every one except Merlin which is like the rarest card."
Not in the least bit interested in cards, Rebecca changed the subject. "Have you two got your stuff ready?"
"Sure why wouldn't we have" The boys joked and Rebecca rolled her eyes at them
"Just checking."
"Anyway Rebecca I had a thought last night because you have a friend and a brother both named Harry I thought why down you give me a nick-name then it's less confusing." Harry K asked
"Good idea but what name?" She wondered.
"I thought Karma because my surnames Karmaton" Harry said
"Ok Karma" she replied laughing slightly
2 hours later it was 10 o clock and the 3 of them were walking into the Main entrance of Kings Cross train station. Rebecca and Harry were more or less crying with excitement where as Karma, coming from a wizarding family was used to magic and it was a daily aspect of life for him. The platform for the muggle trains was cramped with people in suits and dresses looking like they were off to work. "Here we are the gateway to platform nine and three quarters." Karmas Dad announced to the three children. "Okay Harry you first as you know how it's done" He told his son. Karma grabbed his trolley with his trunk on it and brought it in line with the wall between platforms nine and ten. He then ran full speed into the wall and vanished through the wall. The twins had to wipe their eyes to believe what they had just saw. "Okay, you next." he said to Rebecca who still had a look of utter shock on her face. Rebecca repeated Karmas action and brought the trolley back a few paces but still in line with the wall. She breathed in and looked towards her brother almost afraid that she'll be running to her death and ran full speed with her trolley right into the wall. There was darkness for a while and she felt sacred as she saw nothing but black but then light hit in the eyes forcing them to close.
When she finally opened her eyes, what she saw was magnificent. The platform was bustling with witches and wizards, some already in there robes. They were carrying trunks just like her own and cages with owls, rats, toads and cats creating noise of objection to the cages. Then in the middle of everything, standing on the tracks was the Hogwarts express. A giant train of black and red and steam coming out of its funnel made a huge smile appear on Rebecca's face. She dragged her trolley over to where Karma was already giving his trunk to the man who was loading children's luggage onto the train and Rebecca followed to do the same. After her trunk and owl was loaded onto the train she was joined by Harry and he followed her actions. The clock struck quarter to 11 and students started to board the train "Okay kids you ready to go on a journey that you'll never want to end, I remember my first time on this train, best day of my life" Karmas Dad stated.
"Yes Dad" Karma replied, Hugging his dad goodbye. Harry and Rebecca smiled at each other and lead the way onto the train. They found an empty compartment and immediately entered taking a seat. Harry sat on the opposite side of Rebecca and Karma and when everyone was boarded, the whistle to signalled the departure of the train and with that's the Hogwarts express took of exiting the station and began the journey to Hogwarts.
Just after they had set off, a boy with bright ginger hair knocked on the compartment door and opened it. "Hi, do you mind if I sit with you guys" he said with a pouty face.
"Sure we don't mind" Harry answered politely. The boy sat down next to Harry and opposite Karma.
"So what's your name?" Rebecca asked.
"Ron Weasley. And yours?" Ron said
"I'm Rebecca Potter, This is my brother Harry and My friend Harry or Karma." She replied pointing at her brother and friend. Ron's eyes widened like fish eyes. "You don't mean thee Potters do you, as in the boy and girl who lived. the same children that defeated you know who." he asked in a state of shock.
"Yeah I do but can you please just treat us like ordinary people please. I don't really like talking about that particular night." Rebecca Answered.
"Sure thing." Ron said feeling a little guilty
The four friends were having a great time talking about old wizard tales and just getting to know each other a little better. Rebecca found out how Ron too was from a pure wizarding family and he had 5 other brothers and a little sister. However his family was all Gryffindors. Everything was going amazing Rebecca was having a great time until Malfoy opened the door and entered the compartment and sat down next to Karma with his 2 body guards still standing in the doorway. "Well we meet again Potty potter and the Hideous Hufflepuff" he smirked.
"That's the best you can come up with Malfoy, and what's with the body guards, can't you fight for yourself or are you a coward." Rebecca sniggered back.
"How dare you insult a Malfoy. And I thought you said you'll be sorted into Gryffindor. he said disgusted at the insult."
"What's that got to do with anything Malfoy." She hissed
"You haven't got Gryffindor attitude at all but what you do have Is the Slytherin cunningness." he smiled and stormed out and continued down the corridor. Rebecca was silent for a while until Ron said "You realise you don't want to be in Slytherin right. There isn't a witch or wizard who went bad who wasn't in Slytherin."
"you don't really think ill be sorted into Slytherin do you?." She asked meekly
"No. Of course not Sis" Harry assured her. She smiled and continued her conversation with Ron about Wizarding spells.
A few hours later, one at a time the 4 friends left to go and put on their Hogwarts robes. Rebecca was so happy and as she put on her uniform she thought of her parents when they were in the same position as her, getting ready to begin there journey and she thought about her Mum who was muggle born and like her didn't know about magic and this experience was a fairy-tale come true. The end of the journey came and the train pulled into a station in what looked like a small village with old houses which looked like Tudor style houses and shops. "Welcome to Hogsmede." Karma announced to them. They went onto the platform and looked around in amazement at the wonderful sight of a magical town. Ahead they could see the Castle gleaming gold in the night sky and for Rebecca she couldn't wait until she saw what it was like inside as from the outside it was magical. A voice bellowed in the distance. "First years over here." Rebecca and Harry recognised the voice straight away and ran of towards the sound Karma and Ron quick on their tail. "HAGRID!" The twins screamed as they reached the giant towering above them. "Hello Harry, Rebecca, good to see you again." he boomed. "Are you ready to travel to the castle as all first years get the privilege of riding in boats to the entrance." he said happily to the first years that had gathered behind them. "Come on." He said leading them to the boats In pairs they sat down and the boat magically steered and rowed itself. Rebecca stared at the castle before her and said to herself. "I' back, back in the world that I was born into. I have Returned."
