What The???

Summary

Aphrodite and Kassandra Shaman are twins. Ordinary muggles, no magical powers. So why can they see Hogwarts? Is there something wrong with Hogwarts defence? Or is it the girls themselves?

Chapter 2- Hogwarts

Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley were standing by the gates to Hogsmeade, talking one September afternoon. The school term had started the day before, and as the 1st had been a Friday, they didn't have lessons for two days. They were grinning, and generally having the time of their lives, Harry was trying to forget about what had happened with his parents, and was actually doing a pretty good job of keeping last year in the back of his mind, in a box that was clearly marked DANGEROUS, exactly where it belonged. Therefore, it is understandable that they were surprised when two girls suddenly dropped through the gates.

"Oww... that really hurt." One of the girls moaned. Both of them had pale brown hair, and were slightly tanned.

"Affie, I love you, really I do, but I just don't swing that way." The girl on the bottom said. "So if you would be so kind as to get off me..." The other one scrambled off.

"You know, you sure do have a dirty mind." 'Affie' grumbled. "Maybe I should have had a twin brother, not a twin sister."

"You know you love me. And, hey, I resent that." The other one said.

"Took you long enough." 'Affie flipped the straight ponytail over one shoulder.

"Umm, sorry to interrupt, but, what're you doing here?" Harry asked. One twin nudged the other one.

"Kaz, we've got company."

"Affie, do you know what happened? That was almost like magic. When Mum said England was unlike any other place, I never thought she meant this." 'Affie' looked around in amazement.

"Kaz, this is the castle I saw last night, just before I went to bed." The other twin gave Hogwarts a quick glance.

"Hmm... you're right. I don't think we're in Kansas anymore, Toto."

"I resent being cast as a dog."

"Hello?" Harry waved a hand in front of one twin's face. She blinked

"Oh! I'm sorry! My name's Aphrodite Shaman, and this is my sister Kassandra. Umm... where are we?" Ron snorted at Aphrodite's name. She looked at him with piercing green eyes. Eyes as green as Harry's own. Ron gulped.

"I know, dreadful isn't it. I think my mum was high on wacky tabaccy. Although, that wouldn't really work, she was still at school."

"Well, as for where you are, this is Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I'm Harry Potter, that's my godfather Sirius Black and my DADA teacher, Professor Remus Lupin. Those two are my best friends Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley." With every word he said, Aphrodite got paler.

"Excuse us for a second." She said hastily, and dragged Kassandra off to one side. They heard the whole conversation though.

*@*@*@*

"What're we gonna do?" Affie whispered frantically. "We're at Hogwarts!"

"So?"

"Kaz! Mum used to tell us bedtime stories about Hogwarts, remember? And, now it's real. Mum said there's no way for muggles to get into Hogwarts... which means we're witches!"

"Is that all? Who cares?"

"Kaz! This is serious."

"Well I'm sorry, Affie, but I'm just not interested. I couldn't care less."

"Fine! But we've got to see Dumbledore."

"Whatever. Can we go inside? This wind is totally drying out my hair."

"You are such a twinkie."

"I know." They walked back, and Affie smiled brightly.

"Ok, we're finished. Can you take me to see Professor Dumbledore please?" She asked politely.

"Aphrodite and Kassandra Shaman? As in the Aphrodite and Kassandra Shaman? As in, your mother's name is Danniella Shaman?" Remus asked curiously. The twin named Aphrodite looked puzzled.

"Yes... my mum's name is Daniella Shaman. What of it?"

"You're right, you do need to see Professor Dumbledore." Remus said.

"Why?" Kassi asked.

"I think that would be best heard from the Professor." Hermione said, her brown eyes wide. Even Ron looked amazed at the appearance of the two girls.

"Is it just me, or has everyone gone bonkers?" Harry said. The twins looked at each other.

"It's just you." They said in unison.

"Well, actually, it's not," Affie continued, "Kaz and I have no idea either."

Affie followed the others up to Professor Dumbledore's office, nothing would have prepared her for what she found out next...
