"Twenty points to Gryffindor. Kari, what else did you finish up with at the end of last year?" Professor McGonagall said. She still looked amazed at the fact that a fifth year student could do such advanced Transfiguration.
"Well, we were studying Animagus, if that's what you mean," Kari replied.
"Animagi has already been covered in this school Miss Potter. I hope that you and your brother will be all right if we move on. By the way, could I see you and Jes after class?" A few minutes before the class was over, the students started packing their books into their bags.
Fifteen minutes later, Kari walked into the Great Hall for lunch. She sat down beside Harry and Jes sat down across from her.
"So," Harry said, " what did she say?"
"She wanted to know if we were interested in a schedule change," Jes replied coolly.
"A schedule change? To what?" Hermione asked.
"To a more advanced Transfiguration class," Jes said, stuffing a potato into his mouth. He looked up and saw Kari's eyes turn to a periwinkle blue. Hermione, Ron, and Harry gaped at them. Kari of coarse couldn't see why.
"So when do you start?" Ron asked.
"We get our new schedules next week," Kari replied. That was the end of the conversation. Kari noticed the boy blonde boy winking at her from the Slytherin table.
"Who is that boy and why does he keep waving at me?" Kari whispered so that only Hermione could hear. She looked over, sniggered, and then said.
"That is just Draco Malfoy. I think he fancies you." Hermione said loud enough so that Jes and Harry could hear. "You'll want to watch out for him, though, he's bad news. He hates everyone who isn't in Slytherin house, that is except you." Jes heard this and followed Kari's gaze to the boy with blonde hair. He stopped winking at her when he noticed Jes looking at him.
After lunch, they got up and headed of towards Hagrid's cabin, which was where their last lesson of the day would be held. As they were walking down the steps, Kari heard a voice from behind her.
"Hey Potter, since when are you allowed to stand next to the prettiest girl in the school?" Kari turned to see Draco Malfoy coming towards him. He smiled at her. Draco reached for her hand to kiss, but Kari pulled away in disgust. She then spoke.
"I just happen to be his sister, thank you very much, and my brothers are allowed to hang out with me anytime they want. You of coarse, will need my approval beforehand." Draco just gazed at her. Her eyes turned to a malicious-looking red. Just then an extremely large person overshadowed her, when she turned and recognized that it was Hagrid, she smiled.
"Hello Hagrid, how nice to see you again." She said. Her eyes then turned to a bright green. Malfoy stalked away followed by his cronies, Crabbe and Goyle. The lesson was going to begin soon, so they followed Hagrid up to his cabin. Jes opened the gate politely and winked at Veronica as she walked through.
The class, in Kari's opinion, was very boring, that is, until Hagrid started describing a very interesting creature. It was the quintaped. It appeared to be a large spider covered in reddish-brown hair. When the class ended, Kari stayed behind to ask more about the strange animal. Jes, Harry, Ron, and Hermione waited for her by Hagrid's hut. As soon as Kari touched the gate, she froze. She hit the ground with a great THUD! Jes again screamed for nobody to touch her. Hagrid started over looking concerned. About five minutes later, Kari opened her eyes once more. She couldn't believe what she had just seen. When she sat up, she felt something trickling down her back. She reached back to see what it was, and when she saw her hand, she almost fainted. Her hand was covered in blood. She realized that she had hit her head on the rock that was just behind her.
Jes and Ron pulled her up onto her feet and Jes led her up the stone steps to the hospital wing. As they set off towards the stairs, Jes shouted back at Ron, Harry and Hermione.
"I'll take her up. We'll meet you back in the common room later."
The others nodded and headed off for the common room. Half an hour later, Kari and Jes entered through the portrait hole. Kari left to change her robes at once, and Jes flopped down on the couch beside Harry. It would soon be time for dinner. When Kari came down the stairs, she was talking wildly with Hermione.
"Back home in America, everything is different," she was saying. "It's strange the things that you miss."
"Time to go down to dinner," Hermione said, pointing to the clock above the mantel. They all headed off for dinner.
Back in the common room that night, the subject of Kari's vision became the topic of conversation. Jes knowing that this vision might be important pressed the matter, but Harry, feeling that she didn't want to talk about it, did not. After a while of begging and pleading, Kari gave in and began to describe what she had seen.
"Okay. This time my vision was in the past, not the future. We were just born and were taken into the nursery of a muggle hospital. Dad however, had fainted and was unconscious, which is why he didn't know about us, Jes. Harry, you were born first, then Jes, then myself. We had just entered the nursery when the nurse left to go get something. She was gone for only a second, but when she returned, she found that we had vanished. She searched the hospital, but we were nowhere to be found. When she told mum, she almost fainted. Mum tried to convince dad that there were three of us, but since all of the evidence was missing, he didn't believe us. Then, later that night, we were left at a muggle orphanage. When the owner opened the door, she took us inside."
