Chapter 3

On the Hogwarts express, Ron, Hermione, and Charles are sitting in compartment, while Hermione is resting her head on Charles shoulder and reading a book.

"Any idea who is our new DADA professor," Ron asked.

"I don't know," Charles replied, "Dumbledore hasn't told me anything all summer."

"The Ministry has taken away a lot of Dumbledore's political power away from him," Hermione said as she turned the page of her book. "My guess is that they have appointed a Ministry loyalist appointed in the position. They don't want to admit that You-Know-Who has returned or Dumbledore taking away from their power base."

"Bloody idiots, the lot of them," Ron said as he took a giant bite of his chocolate frog. "'E iz za only one You-'Now-'Ho waz ever 'fraid of."

"Don't talk with your mouth full Ronald it's disgusting," Hermione said as she wrinkled her nose in disgust. "I doubt Power Girl doesn't have to dill with disgusting pigs."

Ron and Charles looked at each other in confusion and said in unison, "Who?"

In Starrware Industries HQ in New York, Karen is in her office and is a business meeting with a man from LexCorp. He is in an overweight man, in his 50's, wearing a business suit. She wore a long sleeve blouse that had a V-cut that showed some of her cleavage, a skirt that went down to her knees, and a pair of 6" heels.

"So Mr. Doumont, you say that LexCorp wants to buy my company, a company I built from the ground up, for not even a third of what my company is worth," Karen said in disgust, with her right eye twitching, as she looked at him from the other side of her desk. Some of the disgust stemmed from the fact that the man had not once looked above her chest and he hadn't had enough tact to look like he was hiding the fact.

"And to top it all off, he merely wants me to be a glorified figurehead," Karen continued. "At least the other businesses had sent their bosses, and offered me a reasonable amount, and not some middleman who has a thing for a girls chest that is less than half their age."

Doumont didn't respond to the last part as he continued to stare, and responded, "Mr. Luther's independent business consultants made it very clear that Starrware's success is coming to a close. You should be lucky that he is offering you so much for your company. A girl like you is unable to run a multi billion dollar company."

"Mr. Doumont look into my eyes when you say that, not my breasts," Karen said in a stern voice as she threw an unsharpened pencil at him to grab his attention, which worked. "My company has been growing at a steady 35% for each quarter, and we have investors from Wayne Industries, Queen Industries, and several high profile personal investors. We also have several highly lucrative contracts in the works and many more pending. I don't see my company that I created slowing down soon. My good looks isn't how I created this company, it was my brain. So tell your boss that Starrware isn't for sell."

"Ms. Starr I urge you to reconsider," Doumont replied. "It isn't good for your health to turn down Mr. Luther's generous offer."

"Is that a threat, Mr. Doumont," Karen asked. "As the police already apprehended four of the hired guns you hired to kill me, while the other three are being detained by my security."

Doumont begin to sweat before Karen continued, "I forgot about the eighth one." As she pushed a button on a desk and a man in a ski mask dropped from the ceiling, as he hung there, upside down, as he was tied up by some rope. "You've spent four times the amount of money on these two-bit assigns then you offered for my company. How do you feel? Hmmm?"

Before he could respond several of New York's finest walked in and put the two men in cuffs.

"Thank You for responding on short notice detective," Karen said.

"It would look bad on us if New York's youngest self-made billionaire was killed on our watch," the detective responded. "Plus we like the new toys you donated to us and other first responders."

"I was going to donate a new coffee maker for each Police station, now I probably have to build a Starbucks in them instead."

"Don't let the beat cops hear you say that, they'll probably hold you up to that," the detective responded with a grin. "Ma'am."

With that he left and Karen let out a sigh as she turned her chair around to look out the window that took up her entire wall. Her watch let out a beep that only those with enhanced hearing could hear and she pushed a button on it.

A hologram of Wonder Woman appeared in her office.

"Diana, what do I owe this call," Karen asked.

"I take it your business meeting didn't go well," Diana stated and Karen glared at her.

Diana shook her head and continued, "A typical man huh. On the other hand, Batman has been noticing an increase mystical crimes in the British isles. Like the cold cases you've been looking at from over a decade ago."

"I heard rumors that their leader has come back from the grave," came Karen's replied.

"How did you hear these rumors," Diana asked.

"I wasn't born a Kryptonian, I was born a human and I crashed into them when I was a little girl," Karen replied. "The family that conceived me are magical humans and everybody thinks my brother somehow rebounded the man's curse back at him when he was barely a year old."

"So your parents are keeping you in the loop then," Diana asked.

Karen snorted in amusement, "Puh Lease I haven't seen or heard from them in 15 years. No, but I do have friends who still talk to me."

Back on the train to Hogwarts, it would arrive in a couple of hours, Holly, who already in her uniform, is listing to a CD player that ran off of magical power, made by Starrware Industries, in a compartment by herself. She wasn't shy or anything, but Charles threw his weight around and prevented any others from being in the same compartment with her. The red headed girl had a pair of headphones in her ears as she sang along Man I feel like a Woman by Shania Twain.

"Let's go, girls! Come on!

I'm going out tonight
I'm feelin' alright
Gonna let it all hang out
Wanna make some noise
Really raise my voice
Yeah, I wanna scream and shout No inhibitions…"

Holly didn't finish as the train came to a sudden stop. She heard confused voices from the other capartments. The emerald eyed girl took out her headphones and got up to see what was going on. Before she reached the door something big slammed into the train, causing it to be knocked off the tracks. The portion of the train that she was on was flipped on its side and Holly groaned in pain as she laid down the wall, on the other side of the door.

Holly managed to pick herself up, despite the pain and climbed to the doorway and managed to crawl on top of the train. As she stood on the outside of train, she saw what hit it. There stood three ugly 25 foot giants, carrying wooden clubs the size of each train car.

She saw several of the older students cast spells on the giants and they easily shrugged them off as they widely swung their clubs amongst the students who were casting the spells and as the clubs hit them they students bodies flew considerable distance away.

Holly was about to run when saw the giant in the middle started struggling with his club as it was in midair as he was about to swing and it would seem like he couldn't move it. She saw a young woman in a white unitard with blue gloves and blue high heeled boots floating in midair, and had her hand casually holding it.

She could see the woman saying something to the giants but couldn't hear what she was saying, as she was over a hundred meters away from the closet giant.

"Is that Power Girl," a second year student asked to nobody in particular. As he climbed outside of the train next to her.

"Bloody hell! I think it is Jack," his friend replied in shock. "What's she doing here?"

"How should I bloody know," Jack replied in shock.

"What are you talking about," Holly asked as she helped the two second years out from the train car.

"Wizards," Jacks friend mumbled, "Power Girl is the girl kicking those giants arses!"

Holly looked back at the giants and indeed the flying woman is beating the giants up with her bare hands and the giants club that she was holding earlier is broke in half.

"I've got to learn the spells that she is using," Holly excitedly said.

Both Jack and his friend are both outside the train car now and they both snorted, Jack said, "She is a muggle! Isn't that right Noah?"

"Normal humans can't fly like that," Holly nearly shouted back as they started climbing down from the train car.

"She's not human, she is a space alien that looks like a human," Noah replied.

"My mum knows about the possibility about aliens and she said that it is unlikely that life on other planets will unlikely look like us," Holly said as they looked for a hiding spot.

"We look like them," Noah said, "They've been around before the first human!"

They hid behind a hill and they peeked over the hill and saw the giants lying down, not moving. That was when they let out a sigh of relief.

"You three ok," a feminine voice came from behind them.

This caused them to jump and they turned around and saw Power Girl standing behind them.

"Power Girl," Both boys shouted in surprise and hearts in their eyes.

"Your our favorite female superhero," Jack said.

"Can we have your autograph," Noah asked.

"Sure what are your names," Power Girl said as she wrote down her name on the piece of parchments that they handed her.

"Jack!"

"Noah!"

"Holly Potter," Holly said in confusion and this caused the woman to look up from the parchment, "Is it true that you are a space alien?"

"Depends on your point of view," came her reply, "Earth isn't the only planet with sentient life, to me humans are the aliens."

She handed the parchments back to the two boys as she looked up and she said, "I should go before the Aurors try and erase my memories."

With that she flew off into the distance and a couple of cracks of apparition came next to them.

"Are you kids alright," a tall, built black man asked the three kids as he stood next to a woman with pink hair.

"Yes," Both Jack and Noah said in unison.

Power Girl landed back in her condo, after flying over the Atlantic at supersonic speeds, several minutes later. She used her superspeed to change back into her business attire before using her cell phone to make a call.

"I'm back from England, Sirius," she said before pausing a second, "It was just some no name cat burglar hacking the security cams to make it look like he had Kryptonian powers." She pauses again as she pulled out a coke from the fridge as laughter could be heard from the phone. "I have a better question for you. How come you never told my that the Potter's have another daughter?"

She popped the can open as she drank some of the coke and more laughter could be heard from the phone.

As the laughter died down Karen said, "I wasn't joking you man child. I happened to be in the right place at the right time to see a trio of Giants attack that Train to that school. One of the kids who wasn't injured introduced herself as a Potter." Karen paused again before responding, "Yes I'm serious Black."

Karen paused again before saying, "Thanks Sirius, for looking into it and you haven't hit me with one of your pranks since my boobs started inflating."

Karen hung up the phone and she went into her bedroom, which was filled with various types of snow globes that she collected over the years. She then fell down onto her queen size bed, with her legs hanging over the edge and she put her drink on top of her waist as she sighed. Despite it being shortly after 12 in New York, Karen was feeling exhausted, both mentally and physically.

She knew that her Kryptonian biology allowed her to function a lot longer than any non enhanced human, she couldn't imagine being more tired right now. That was when her cell started ringing as she groaned before answering it. "Hello." A quick pause, "I'll be back at Starrware in a minute. Just let me finish my lunch. And tell the detective that if I don't get to finish my lunch, he won't get that personal coffee maker he wants for Christmas if he doesn't wait for 10 freakin' minutes!"

Sometimes it is worth it to run a multi billion dollar company, this is definitely not one of those times.
