Ever wonder how you got somewhere?

I'd like you to meet
The other side of me
Gotta getcha, gotta getcha, gotta getcha

"Ron, why are you accusing me? A ton of people could have stolen your stupid sugar quill!" Hermione screamed for what seemed like the thousandth time.

"Because you were the only one in here!" Ron shouted.

When it's time to rock
She's a celebrity
Gotta getcha, gotta getcha, gotta getcha
I got you, I got you
And now she's got me

FLASH

"Ron, you need to apologize to her. She seemed pretty upset." Harry reasoned.

"Yeah, right, okay," Ron mumbled.

FLASH

Hermione walked down the stairs, ten minutes late, looking absolutely terrified.

"Er – Hermione?" Harry asked.

Hermione's head snapped to him. "Who are you?" She asked in a shy, soft voice, unlike her usual bossy tone.

She drowns me out
When I shout
I'm so overpowered
I cannot hide
From the opposite side
When she takes me over

FLASH

Ever wish there was someone else who could live through your own life's tragedies?

"The last thing I remember was getting a letter to a wizard school. I was so scared! I didn't wanna leave home! I didn't wanna learn magic! It was my worst nightmare!" She sobbed.

FLASH

Flip the switch
Makes me split into insanity
Gotta getcha, gotta getcha, gotta getcha

"Professor, what's wrong with her?" Ron asked, his voice shaking.

Dumbledore stared into his eyes.

FLASH

"Hermione, what day is it?" Harry asked breathlessly.

She blinked. "It's June 4th, 1991. Why do you ask?"

They both turned pale. "Hermione," Ron croaked. "It's... It's March 22nd, 1996."

Out of control
Shocking like electricity
Gotta getcha, gotta getcha, gotta getcha
I got you, I got you
And now she's got me

FLASH

"Boys... you're not going to want to hear this." Dumbledore said gravely.

"Yes we do! You told us that last time! We want to know what's wrong with our best friend!" Harry shouted into the old man's face.

FLASH

But when your wish comes true, do you just wanna fight it and make her go away?

She drowns me out
When I shout
I'm so overpowered
I cannot hide
From the opposite side
When she takes me over

"Hermione has a mental disease; a rather fascinating one, if I do say so myself. Hermione Granger has a split personality. A second personality is formed when one has a traumatizing event in their life. In Hermione's case, her second personality was created when she got her letter to Hogwarts. So, her second personality came out to face going to Hogwarts so Hermione One didn't have to do it. It's strange how both of them respond to the same name..."

FLASH

Let's co-exist
What's wrong with this
What's wrong with this
What's wrong with this

Hermione blinked.

"What is it?" Harry asked, concerned.

"Why am I in the common room?" Hermione asked, her voice sounding different.

They glanced at each other. "Well, we WERE doing out homework." Ron said.

Hermione stared at him blankly. "Why are you talking to me? Don't you HATE me for 'stealing' your sugar quill?"

FLASH

"Dumbledore, how can we keep something like this from her?" Ron shouted.

FLASH

"Something has to be done," Harry said firmly.

FLASH

I cannot hide
From the opposite side
When she takes me over

Tears sprouted into Hermione's eyes. "So... I have to share my life... with someone else?"

"In a manner of speaking," Ron whispered.

FLASH

"Ron, what are we gonna do?" Harry gripped his hair.

"Do you think I know?" Ron shouted across the room.

FLASH

"Ron, what's wrong with you?" The flaming-haired girl asked, concerned.

FLASH

"I don't know I'm gonna manage..." Ron whispered. "...knowing that Hermione loves both me and Harry."

She drowns me out
