Chapter Forty One: A Pair of Brown Eyes
Who every said Kat wasn't adventurous apparently didn't read the part I wrote about Kathleen being almost exactly like Hermione.
So that next day, looking around the bend, glaring at each moving picture, Kat snuck down to level ground, where she immediately exited the castle.
She was the presented by yet another problem, she had no clue how to get home.
What had Mione done! Kidnap her?
"Hey Mione!" a boy, slightly chubby, baby's face and buck teeth ran up to her. He looked a tad off, like Jeremy from Physics, like he couldn't pass any class.
She thought for a moment, Yeah, she and Hermione were mistaken for the other a lot, but never had she expected this, so she decided to see if all the people around here were off their rockers.
"I'm sorry, Are you looking for Hermione?" she asked normally, the boy looked at her oddly.
"Yeah, I was looking for you, are you alright? We have a potions exam tomorrow and I don't understand how bog root infusions help the silver alloy turn into diamonds, and since you are taking the tutorial, five or so year above us, I was wondering if you could help me."
"Maybe, you should look for Mione, I'm really no good at, what did you call it?"
"Potions," He repeated and gave her a calculating look, "Mione should I get Ron?"
"ok lets get past this alright, Hello," she held out her hand, "I'm Kathleen, Hermione's twin sister." In normal school, it was considered an on going joke, here it was the rules, oh well.
"twin?" the boy blinked twice, "I didn't know Mione had a twin!"
"Yeah well, she hardly talks about me, and I her, what's your name?"
"Neville," he sputtered, "Neville Longbottom." And savagely put out his hand.
"It's a pleasure, Now, About potions, why don't we go to the lab and have you show me what you know, maybe I can solve your problem logically?" She REALLY wanted out of here, but a poor soul, was a poor soul, what could she do?
"Lab?" the boy choked on the word, "Snape doesn't let any one in there, except for class."
"That how does the man suppose any of you learn?" she asked sweetly, "Come on, I'll take all the blame if we are caught."
"You know, you really confuse me," he said as they started walking, "When you speak, it's just like something Mione would say, but at the same time there is no way you could have ever attended Hogwarts, because after twenty four hours, no one likes Snape or tries his rules."
"Well, that makes sense, I have never attended class here, I don't know if I ever will."
"Lucky, your potions master must be really sweet." He said mournfully.
Maybe she was in a different reality, Where she came from, Chemistry, Physics, not POTIONS!
This was going to interesting, but from what he had said, it sounded like a chemical reaction that needed explaining, that she was good at. She just needed to know what precisely was happening.
"Mudblood!" a black haired boy ran up to them, "Helping the hopeless again? Get over it, he'll fail even with your help, though it could be your help poisoning him." He smirked.
She slapped.
"My Name is KAT! Gods, get it straight!" and she and Neville walked off again.
"Reckon the Mudblood lost it?" Blaise said to Crabbe and Goyle who had finally caught up.
They both starred, mouths open, nodding.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Snape had realized that his class room door was slightly ajar. This meant that some one was in it.
Stepping out of his morning stroll he entered the rooms, to see a Brown Haired girl and Mr. Longbottom sitting at a caldron.
"OK so you add this at right about now," Mr. Long bottom explained, and the girl nodded, "Then," he added it, and a diamond appeared in the bottom. "Why does it do that?"
The girl shook her head, "We've haven't covered this."
"Ms GRANGER!"
Kat looked up to see a rather handsome, yet old dark haired man growling at her, she apparently had done something wrong.
His anger changed to confusion as Neville started to clean up rapidly, "Come on," he hissed, "While he hasn't taken points."
"Ms. Douglas? What are you doing out and about?" Snape asked, an odd look in his eye.
"I got tired of that room! I wanted to leave, so I was going, when Neville stopped me, I'm Sorry sir, but what is your name?"
Neville could have fallen over and into a concussion from what he had just witnessed. A nice Snape, and a Girl, who looked and acted exactly like Mione, who didn't know of Snape's existence.
"Professor Severus Snape, Potions." He did a short nod/bow.
"It's a pleasure." She quickly curtsied, and gestured at Neville, "He's having problems with this potion, I can't help him,"
"Well of course you can't." Snape said dryly. "I'll aide Mr. Longbottom, you find Ms. Granger."
"I have no desire to see her at the moment sir." Kat said darkly.
"Fine, then you may stay until I'm done helping Mr. Longbottom, maybe you'll learn something during your stay." He gave a look like he couldn't imagine anyone learning at all.
"I'll stay, it'll be interesting."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Hermione was in a frenzy, tonight was Halloween, she should be getting ready, but no! Kat had to vanish, now the royals were searching the school for her.
A warm card let her know that one of them had succeeded. A light silver glow told her Draco, and since he had the dungeons, that's where she went.
"Mione!" Hanna called from the fields, "Did you get Dux's message?"
"Yeah, I'm going down there now." Hanna had caught up by then.
"I'm coming too, Tom says he'll sit this out." She smirked, "You know what that means."
"Yeah, that he knows what's going on, again."
Hanna nodded as the rounded the bend to see Draco.
"Potions." He said.
"Potions?" Hermione repeated.
"She is with Snape, in the potions lab, learning a potion with Longbottom."
She ran past him and flew into the class room, "Professor!" she announced.
"Ah, Ms. Granger." He nodded. "Maybe you can take over, I tire of teaching more then I have too." And he left.
"How?" Hermione whispered.
"He must be psychic." Kat offered, "He knew who I was at second glance."
Hermione shook her head, "No, Most older wizards just have amazing perception."
"Wizards?" Kat asked confused.
"Yeah what else, Neville, I'll help you later, I need to talk to my sister." Hermione pushed the utterly bewildered boy out of the room, and promptly closed the door behind him.
The less people who knew, the better.
Out side Neville saw Malfoy and Abbott waiting against the door.
Not really wanting to know, he left quickly.
*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~
"Why did you leave, and how did you get here." Hermione asked shortly.
"I don't like it here." Kat said simply, "I wanted to go home, but your friend Neville Stopped me thinking I was you, I wound up here out of the kindness of my heart, Severus came in and took over from what ever poor excuse of teaching I was doing, then you came in."
"I see," Hermione sat in of the chairs, "Why do you call Snape by his first name?"
"I'm not his student am I?" she asked as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
"Never mind, look, Kat our school hold balls occasionally for the holidays, we have one tonight, and since you can't leave for your own safty, you'll have to come." Hermione sighed, "Which means, dear 'sister' that Draco Hanna and I will be helping you get ready. The dress is in costumes so its not that hard, but you don't have an outfit."
"I can wear one of yours." Kat answered simply.
"No, I don't want anyone to think its me in an old out fit."
"Since when have you become fashionable?" Kat smirked.
"Since Lavender Brown and Pavarti Patil." Hermione said simply, "Come on we had better get started," she stood up and looked at her friend, "Please don't go wandering around like that again, you had us in a frenzy!"
"Us?" Kat asked as they walked out of the dungeon.
"Us." Hermione gestured to the small group outside the door. Ray, Ron and Dora had come during the conversation, and were standing with Draco and Hanna. "May I introduce you Kat?"
She nodded.
"From left to right, Ron, you know Ray, Draco, Hanna, and you know Dora." She faced her friends. "Everyone, this is Kat, we are 'twin sisters'," she emphasized the term, "If any one gets nosy."
They nodded and extended their hands, Kat shook each one, and sighed, "I'm stuck here now aren't I?"
"Don't worry about it." Ray smiled, "We still manage classes at home."
"And you two will tell me the entire story once we have time," she glared at the two girls, "Now what is this about a dress?"
They moved her up to the Heads tower.
All six chanted this time, Kat noticed, but they all had a different ending. Once inside she saw a boy with Black hair and a book in hand.
"Who is that?" she asked simply.
Hanna jumped forward and hugged the boy, startling him out of his book, "This handsome one is Tom, Just Tom."
"Hello Tom," Kat held her hand out, "I'm Kathleen, everyone calls me Kat."
"Nice to meet you Kat." He smiled and shook her hand, "You aren't anything like our Mione you know," his eyes flashed, "Your more Raven claw." He released her hand, "However, you wouldn't be uncomfortable in Slytherin, but since you crave knowledge and no adventure or power, Raven claw would be your house, your father you know he's dead, however much you miss him, You may want to talk to Harry, he's the only person I know of that's in a similar situation as you."
Kat Blinked, "What?"
"Ignore him, his family is Gypsy, they have a personality and past reader ability, its ok, it's how he says, 'nice to meet you'." Hermione said cheerfully, "Now, your costume!"
*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Snape sat in his privet rooms sipping some brandy, 'that girl,' he thought for the hundredth time that day, 'what is it about her?'
Snape went over the entire conversation they had, he could place how he knew that she wasn't Granger once he had bothered to look.
Her eyes came to mind, a light brown near hazel. Not like Granger's Chocolate.
Amber, interesting.
He took another sip.
Why couldn't he stop wondering about her?
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Draco found it rather hard to transfigure clothing for someone who looked just like Mione. It was inhumane. He wanted to make it as far from Hermione's style as he could, but she kept popping up in his mind as he worked.
So he forced himself to stop and consider the differences.
Personality, that's for sure, Kat and Mione are highly similar, But Kat looks more for facts then the basis of them.
How they talked, Mione is always cheerful and courageous, Kat is more of a know-it-all then Mione was in her first year!
Then a thought occurred to him, Their eyes.
Mione had deep brown eyes that were always laughing.
Kat had golden amber brown eyes, far more superior looking, and intimidating.
He had the difference down, and he went back to work.
The Final product wasn't Mione, but definitely Kat.
It was a golden long Japanese kimono, with see through lace coming out of the sleeves and base, making it look like a dress.
It would fit her perfectly.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
AN:
Ok I had a VERY long chapter, so I split it into three parts.
This is the first one, and I will not post all three at once so I'm trying not to give you a horrid cliffy. If my writing seems to end abruptly, that's why.
That's the reason why it has taken so long, along with the fact that I dislocated my leg and that I'm taking an intensified collage course this summer.
Please for give me for the lateness of my post.
I hope to have the next chapter up on Friday to celebrate the Book.
