The days at the Luna Apartments were beginning to be dull. With no magic around, everything was done as a muggle would. Rebecca didn't find television that interesting. She wouldn't admit it, but she found computers scary.
Isabelle, however, loved it all. When Kate was writing an article for work, Isabelle would watch with content. And she watched the 5 o'clock news every night. There were reports about "strange" things happening in Britain that were being reported. Rebecca felt that she knew it was Mathaius.
Mathaius Burgess was the one wizard who Rebecca and Isabelle were hiding from. Rebecca didn't know much about him other than having a grudge with her father and a friend of his at Hogwarts. Mathaius had gained power and became the new Minister of Magic, knocking down Hermione Granger and also firing Harry Potter as Head of Magical Law Enforcement. Soon enough, Mathaius had declared Potter and Granger enemies of the Magical World as well as Rebecca's father and other famous families.
Rebecca asked her father questions, but he would never explain the reason why. "The less you know, the better off you and your sister will be if he ever found you." He would tell her.
Rebecca hated him for saying this, but no matter how hard she fought his response, he would not say anything more.
September first, the day Rebecca and Isabelle would head to Ilvermorny, was in three days. As Rebecca was waking up one morning, she heard a loud noise. It came from outside her door. Rebecca looked over at her sister's bed. She wasn't there. In a blink of an eye, Rebecca jumped out of her bed and opened the bedroom door. She ran straight to the kitchen where she found Isabelle nursing an owl that had been knocked out somehow. Isabelle looked up and seen her sister staring in shock.
"He flew into the window." Isabelle said, her eyes swimming with tears. Rebecca joined Isabelle by her side to help, though she had no idea how. Kate was at work so there was no way she could help.
It didn't matter, however. The bird began to stir and Rebecca was relived. Underneath the owl, once it hopped up, were two envelopes, each addressed to either girl. Rebecca and Isabelle grabbed theirs and opened them up. Rebecca read hers to herself quietly.
Dear Miss Rebecca Warren,
We are pleased to welcome you to Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Term begins on September first. Since this is a special circumstance, you have at the bottom of this letter instructions on how to get to the school.
Based upon your performances at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, you will resume your magical education with Ilvermorny at Fifth Year Level, however, upon your arrival to the school, you shall walk with the First Years to be sorted into your house.
We look forward to seeing you on September First.
Sincerely,
Victoria Steward
Deputy Headmistress

Instructions:
Head to Pennsylvania Station in Manhattan. Enter the station and proceed to Platform 4. An Amtrack train will be awaiting your arrival. Take a seat in the last four cars for wizard transport to Ilvermorny. The train will leave at 12 o'clock sharp so be there early!
Rebecca looked over it again. September first was in two days.
"So we go to school the same way we do at Hogwarts?" Isabelle asked with a hint of disappointment in her voice.
"It seems so." Rebecca said. "But at least we don't have to run straight at a wall. I've never liked that about Platform Nine and Three Quarters."
"It was scary the first time." Isabelle said.
