See You On The Dark Side Chapter 1

As Hermione ducked behing a large chunk of stone, firing curses, she risked a glance at Harry while he dueled with Voldemort. Awestruck, she barely managed to bat away a Bludgeoning Hex. Harry was a fighting machine, deftly dispensing and dodging spells. Hermione popped out from behind her hinding place and turned her attention back onto her fight. She was sucked into an exchange with a Death Eater. After just a few seconds of the battle, the masked figure inexplicably fell to the ground. Looking towards Harry, she saw that he had finally stopped the self-proclaimed Dark Lord's tyranny.

All was silent. Hermione took that moment and, trailing tears of joy, ran into Harry arms. He kissed her, and she was happier than ever before. "I love you," the new couple whispered. Kissing more passionately, they didn't stop until they had to pull apart for air. They inhaled deeply, and then all hell broke loose.

Harry and Hermione's eyes widened in shock as they crumpled to the ground and began violently convulsing. The warriors stared in shock before a healer burst out, performed a basic diagnostic scan, and whisked them away to St. Mungo's Hospital.

In the hospital, healers desparately tried all relevant legal cures before shifting to those not quite within the law, but none had any effect. A skilled intern tried Legilimency, and reported a swirling black vortex before being moved to the spell damage ward. The medical powers in Wizarding Britain sighed, as they came to the conclusion that Harry and Hermione must fight the curse themselves.

Harry and Hermione awoke together in a funny looking Hogwarts hallway. It was littered with dark artifacts. They were far more interested in why they looked like and were surrounded by first years. "Glad that over," Harry remarked, stopping any further conversation. A fearsome Professer McGonagall led them to the Great Hall.

Hermione sucked in a breath. Instead of the usual starry sky, it was storming. The pair paid no heed to who was going where, until Hermione was to be sorted.

The hat touched her head, immediately saying to her "We've got an odd one here... "

Hermione calmly replied,"Just sort me already!"

"Better be... RAVENCLAW!" the Sorting Hat proclaimed.

The whole hall clapped politely. Ravenclaws were the darkest and smartest magicals.

Soon enough, Harry was to be sorted again. A mere minute after the hat touched his head, he sat next to Hermione.

"Makes sense we got Potter. He did vanquish Voldemort the Light as a child." The whole table was abuzz, while they remained clueless. Ignoring much of the feast, when proceedings were through, Hermione shouted, "To the library!" Poor Harry had troubles keeping up.
