Are those all your brothers?" She asked, glancing quickly at all the other person in the classroom who eerily looked like her him. She was CuRIOuS.
But Professor Dopple didn't seem to mind having quintuplets in her class. Maybe they really WERE brothers? ....How COOL!
And it was only in that small amount of time that Harri's attention had shifted. From being discombobulated at all the identical-looking older students to bouncing on her seat as she raised her hand to answer the very old woman's question. "Ugh, I really hate how I can't comprehend directions, Professor. North, south, east, west, I'm bad at them." She had a track record for being lost on numerous occasions. Her brother called her directionally challenged. Was there a charm for that? She didn't know. And if there was, she needed to learn it pronto.
"
I appreciate it. Brain fart, you know...." Harri was the nicest. Charlie (who is not yet aware that she's a Max) offered up a sheepish smile in return to her compatriot's.
Brothers? Now Charlie was the confused one.... She didn't have ANY siblings, and even if she did, they weren't wizards, seeing as she was a muggleborn. She scratched the back of her neck -- both out of confusion and due to the fact that it was actually
quite itchy -- and was shocked to not feel any hair (her normal hair was just past shoulder length). A pesky elf must've cut her hair in the middle of the night....
"
You must be mistaken, Harri, coz I don't have any brothers... and even if I did, I'm a muggleborn, so they wouldn't be here...," she stated matter-of-factly, no rancor at all, as she genuinely had no idea that she was a he -- not just any he, but a Max Carden!he. She didn't even
know a Max Carden (she did know a tree boy, on account of DADA, though).
Looking around, though, she did have one thing to say that might answer Harri: "
It is weird how eerily similar some of the people in here look, though." She might have the same name as them now, but did she
look like them?! Not a chance....
Well, if Professor Dopple wanted them to be nice and warm, she had
certainly succeeded, as unaware Max!Charlie was sweating bullets. She was really nice, though, so the first year Ravenclaw didn't mind too much.
Brainstorming! Charlie could do that just fine. She thought for a good minute about what
she (not a he!Max Carden at all) would want a simple charm to fix something mundane... and she had the
perfect answer.
"
Well, Professor, I hate it when I state my clothes with ink or food or anything like that... so a simple charm that could lift various stains would be fabulous," Charlie replied confidently, grinning at Professor Dopple.
She
really liked Charms.
