The week of the ball approached and the entire school was in a frenzy. Girls were trying to decide which shoes to wear, what jewelry to wear, what boy to ask to the dance, among other things. Caroline was included in this group. Caroline and Hermione sat in the girl's dormitory trying to decide how to tame their hair. "I am going to wear it the same way I did at the last ball" said Hermione to Caroline. "As I've never been to a school ball with guys, I need to decide right now" said Caroline. Caroline pulled her wand out of her robes and pointed it straight at her head: "Coiffure amoureuse" said Caroline. Nothing happened. Caroline tried the spell once more to no avail. Furious, Caroline threw her wand across the room. Hermione stared at Caroline and said, "You can't make that work?" "No" admitted Caroline sheepishly. "Neither can I" said Hermione. Caroline looked at Hermione and smiled. She then proceeded to close the door to the dormitory. "Hermione," said Caroline hesitantly as she sat on the bed again. "You won't mid if I do my own form of magic will you? I mean, you won't tell anyone will you?" said Caroline. "What do you mean your 'own form of magic'?" said Hermione hesitantly. "It's not illegal is it?"
"No, of course not" said Caroline looking at Hermione earnestly. "I have to tell you something" said Caroline, "but you absolutely can't tell anyone." "Alright" said Hermione slowly "I am, well, how should I put this? I am a Hashaniite sister" said Caroline. Hermione's eyes opened in awe. "No way" said Hermione in shock. "That is absolutely posh!" "Which means" Caroline proceeded, "that I can do magic without a wand and I have certain abilities that many normal wizards do not have." "I know" said Hermione. "So, I was wondering, if it would be okay if I used my magic around you" said Caroline. "Why me?" said Hermione, still in shock. "Because, I feel comfortable around you. You understand what it is like to be different and you wield great powers that one can only dream of if they are a normal wizard" finished Caroline. "I won't mind at all. In fact, I am quite flattered" said Hermione truthfully. "I have read all about the Hashaniite sisters. You are the most powerful beings in the world. You are technically more powerful than Voldemort" said Hermione. "Well, I don't know about the Voldemort thing, but, yes, I am quite powerful. That is why my father is helping the ministry. He has many of the same powers I have, but to a lesser extent, for the males, or the Hashaniite brothers, were not as blessed as were the sisters." "Wow! I never thought I would meet one" said Hermione in absolute appreciation and awe. "But Dumbledore has asked that I do not use my magic in front of you guys because they would know about me and bombard me with questions, and, if anyone knew, I might be in extreme danger because Voldemort and his followers want one of the sisters. That is why my father has brought me here. Hogwarts is the safest place, supposedly" finished Caroline. "That is why Harry is here too" said Hermione thoughtfully. Caroline and Hermione stared at each other and sat in complete silence for a few minutes until Hermione said: "If you can use your powers in front of me, that means that you can have a fabulous hairstyle in seconds and you won't need my help." Caroline stared at Hermione refusing to see her point. "Which means," said Hermione "that you have to help me with my outfit because you will have much time on your hands now." Caroline smiled at Hermione. "Sure, what the hell" said Caroline. She figured that helping Hermione with her dress was the least she could do, considering that fact that Hermione was now burdened by her secret.
