The girl with bushy hair asked. "When is your birthday?"

"July thirty-first," Kari and Jes answered quickly. "We were born about three minutes apart."

"I think you might be triplets," the boy with red hair spoke up.

"Really?"

"Wow! Wait 'till Fred and George hear about this!"

"Who're they?" Kari asked.

"My brothers," the boy said.

"These are my friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, "he pointed at the red-haired boy and the bushy-haired girl as he spoke. Kari held her hand out to shake, and Jes copied her. After they were all introduced, they sat down to talk. A red-haired girl walked in the compartment and Kari guessed that this must be Ron's sister. After introducing them and explaining the situation, Ginny left. Kari suddenly remembered the rings and pulled the box out of her pocket.

"Here Harry, put this on," Kari said. After some heavy explaining about how they had found the rings, Harry slipped it onto his finger. It was a perfect fit, just like the others. When Harry looked up at her he noticed he eyes, which were now yellow.

"Are your eyes always that color?" he asked.

"They change color with my moods."

"Weird," Ron mumbled. Hermione nodded and Harry pushed the bangs out of his eyes. Kari caught a slight glimpse of a lightening-shaped scar on his forehead and thought to Jes. He has the same scar as we do. Jes looked over at her, stunned. Then he asked.

"Harry, may I see your scar."

"Yeah, sure," he replied. He lifted up his bangs to reveal it. Jes looked over at Kari and she lifted up her bangs. He copied her. Hermione looked at the three identical scars and exchanged glances with Ron. Kari, beginning to feel nervous, fiddled with her earring. She then thought at Jes. Do you think Harry has powers too? Harry looked up, shocked. Can you hear me? When he nodded, she was very taken aback. Then, with help from Jes, they explained to Harry, Ron and Hermione about how they were able to communicate without speaking. Hermione then spoke.

"I've heard about that. I read about it over the summer actually. It is really rare. How old were you when you discovered it?"

"I would say about five or six. Why?" Kari asked.

"Wow. I think that you might be the youngest people to be able to communicate telepathically since, well, I don't know." She stammered.

"Wow," was all that Ron could say now. Then, the lunch trolley arrived, and Harry bought Pumpkin Pastries and Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans.

"We can all share these. I bought enough for everyone," Harry said. Kari reached out for a pumpkin pastry, but when she touched it, she suddenly went rigid. She fell onto the compartment floor with a thud, and Harry, Ron, and Hermione started rushing over to her. Jes watched as her eyes rolled back into hear head and he shouted.

"Don't touch her. You'll just make it worse." They backed away as soon as this was said. Harry gazed on helplessly as she began to twitch violently. He knelt down beside her on the floor beside Jes. A few minutes later, Kari opened her eyes again. She was still shaking badly. Jes and Harry grabbed her by the arms and helped her onto a chair. They were all very quiet for a few minutes, before Jes said.

"So, what did you see?"

"I saw a very big room, and we were all in it. Jes and I were standing up in front of a long table that lined the wall furthest from the door. Apart from the table I previously mentioned there are four room-length tables that lead to the front one. Harry, Ron and Hermione were sitting at a table near the center of the room, and we are all staring at a very battered looking wizard's hat, but that's all I remember."

"You must be talking about the sorting, but there is no way that you could know that the Great Hall looks like, because you've never seen it before." Hermione said calmly. "Now I'm confused. Kari, why did you collapse on the floor like that?"

Kari, who was still shaking a little, looked over at Jes, who started to explain. He explained about how Kari could see the past, future, or the present, when she touched something with a certain essence. Kari grabbed for another Pumpkin Pastry. Harry watched her apprehensively. Jes sat down next to Kari, who was sitting next to Harry. Ron, who was sitting opposite them, said.

"The family resemblance is uncanny." This comment made Kari smile for some reason. Jes leaned over to talk to Ron, Hermione and Harry.

"I would watch it if I were you. She has a very bad temper."

"No I don't," Kari said furiously. She suddenly realized the time and said.

"We'd better change into our school robes. I think we will arrive in a few minutes." Then, without fail, a few minutes later, the train slowed to a stop and they filed off. Jes holding Kari's hand, because she was still shaking. They spotted a very large man, with a tasseled beard bellowing over the crowd.

"All firs' years and foreign exchange students this way. Come on, o'er here."

Kari and Jes walked over to where the large man was standing. They had to crane their necks to look into his face.

"Hello there, you must be one o' the foreign exchange students. Welcome to Hogwarts." Jes and Kari merely nodded, indicating that they understood. They were speechless as they got into the boats and road across the lake. When they saw the castle over in the distance, their jaws dropped.

Soon they were walking into a room where a very stern-looking woman stood. She introduced herself as Professor McGonagall before separating them into two lines. One containing a number of first year students and the other held twelve foreign exchange students, three of which were from Salem's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The others as Kari found out were from different schools from around the world. There was Courtney Storm, who had shoulder-length blonde hair and blue eyes, Joshaua miller, who was a short, dumpy-looking boy with brown hair, gray eyes, Justin Sawyer, who was tall and gangly-looking with bleached blonde hair that was cut slightly above his ears, making them look extremely large. Trent Navarro had short blonde hair and brown eyes, Kari found that he was from America also, but instead of being form Colorado, he was California. Anthony Hawthorn had ear-length black hair and hazel eyes. Raven Browen had long and hazel eyes, her friend Becca Ryan, had brownish blonde hair and Blue eyes. She could tell that they had gone to the same school, because they appeared to know each other. There were others that they already seemed to know. Two boys were standing behind them, talking excitedly. Daniel Marbywire and Scott Goldman were their names. Daniel was tall with brown hair and brilliant green eyes and a nice smile. Scott had light brown hair and brilliant blue eyes. He was about 5'7" tall and had a smile that could make any girl's heart melt. Kari's eyes changed to their regular black. Just then, she felt a tap on the shoulder. She turned around to see a frightened-looking first year boy who had blonde hair and hazel eyes. He was about two heads shorter the she was. He then said.

"Hi my name is Mason Schild. Is it true what they were saying on the train? Are you Harry Potter's sister?" Kari nodded and watched the boy as he got back in line, before turning her attention back to Courtney. She gaped at her.
