Chapter Three Potential Rivals
After the professor's greeting ,the girls were able to sit back and relax, as the other students began to introduce themselves. Ron Weasley's brothers Fred and George asked the girls the one question that everybody wanted to know the truth about.
" Is it true that you girls magically blew up a muggle chemistry lab?" The twins asked eagerly.
" Yes." was Shauna's simple answer.
Carla was ignoring all the inquiries as the twins looked at the girls as if their dreams had just come true ; two girls who liked to get into trouble as much as they did. Carla was staring at an older wizard with moon spectacles and a twinkle in his eye. She turned to Harry Potter to ask who he was.
" That's the headmaster, Professor Dumbledore, why do you ask?"
" It's just I've never sensed so much power in a magical being before. His wisdom is what makes him powerful, it's just odd, I've never expected that in a mage."
" Mage?" Harry and Hermione asked together.
" You two don't know what kind of witches we are?" Carla asked surprised.
"Isn't there only one kind?" Hermione asked.
" No there's also another kind a magika, we're actually a more advanced version of you who don't need wands, and are taught at home." Carla answered, with a little bit of an air.
" I just asked." Hermione replied offended at Carla's air of superiority. It could have been assumed that Hermione Granger, the top in her year, could be rivaled by this new stranger. The sad thing was could Carla and Shauna recieve her teaching.
The girls recieved special treatment that night they got their own dormitory to themselves, a move that made all the girls jealous. In the Gryffindor common room Hermione, Ron, and Harry were talking about the girls as they were getting settled in their private dormitory.
" I don't know about you boys but I think the blonde one was rude, I just asked a simple question and she replied snobbishly. Her friend wasn't so bad." Hermione cried, " Carla just has the usual American attitude, their way is the right way."
" I don't know Hermione, Carla seems not so bad." Harry said.
" Don't tell me Harry you actually like her!" Hermione exclaimed. Harry shrugged his shoulder in reply.
" If you ask me Hermione I think you're jealous." Said Ron.
" Jealous? Me? Honestly Ronald I'm not the jealous kind."
" Yes you are because it might be that she could rival you. She's smart enough to take you on, and you can't handle it." Ron said staring Hermione in the eye.
" She must be something, she had Draco Malfoy staring at her." Harry stated.
Hermione shook the comment off and continued talking, just changed the subject.
" All I'm saying is that since those two have powers we know nothing about we should be careful, including you Harry."
" Just think Hermione you still have to tutor Carla and Shauna to catch up on what they missed." Ron said laughing. Hermione only glared at Ron in reply.
Meanwhile Shauna and Carla were getting ready to unpack their things as Shauna was trying to correct Carla on her attitude towards Hermione.
" You actually was kinda rude to her." Shauna stated.
" No I wasn't I just stated a fact."
" Carla we're in another country we don't need to make enemies with anyone, and have a war."
" I just think that this Hogwarts thing is a mistake and we'll be going back home after they realize that." Carla replied, completely ignoring her friend's comment.
"If you say so."
Thus, ended their first evening at Hogwarts.
