Two Sides, One Coin

by The Malignant Writer

Two sides, one coin. While their differences separate them, it is their similarities that draw them together and make them one. As Lord Voldemort and Harry Potter progress, they soon find that this is the very truth which binds their lives together.

1. Prologue

Hello! I hope you enjoy this story :) I'll be working on this fic for awhile, so don't expect too much in the means of new stories. Feel free to offer advice and criticism! I welcome it with open arms ^.^

I'm sorry for the length . It will, gradually grow longer as more things happen, however don't expect super long chapters. I'm not too good with reaally long chapters, so they may or may not happen.

Coins have always been peculiar objects. They are one object, and yet they possess two sides- heads and tails. The sides could not be any more different. After all, heads is not tails and tails is not heads. While they belong to the same object, a coin, they could not be anymore different. At the same time, they are quite similar. Without either heads or tails there is no coin. They are two, and yet they are also one. The coin cannot exist with only one of them. Both must be present in the structure, lest the object crumble to pieces.

The same could easily be said of Harry and Voldemort. While the two undeniably had their similarities, Harry and Voldemort were also two individual people. At the same time, a coin is not built upon differences; it is built upon similarities. Unfortunately for the two, they seemed to have more similarities than differences, and in the end it is those similarities that seem to drive them together. After all, a coin is not meant to stand on its own.
