Chapter fourteen – Two sides to every story.

After Dumbledore had left, Hermione had dragged Harry and Ron up the stairs. She entered Ginny's room, and lifted the covers of her bed. So underneath was exposed. She slowly dragged a medium cauldron out from under there. She turned around to see both the boys hovering uncertainly in the doorway. She rolled her eyes.

'Why aren't you coming in?'

'Uh, because it's a girl's room, there is girly stuff in here.' Ron said adding the last part thinking it sounded like a solid reason. Hermione shook her head and lifted the potion up in her arms. She walked past the two boys and walked into Ron's room. She placed the cauldron on the floor and sat down. Taking some ingredients she had picked up with the cauldron. She experimentally sprinkled in some owl feathers. After placing three in, she reached for the silver sand she had bought, some time before. Taking a pinch she threw it into the cauldron and it exploded with a shower of lights.

She was thrown back, and found herself being helped up by Harry. When she had sat up again she took a look in the cauldron and what she saw made her gasp. There. Staring right back at her was herself. Obviously she was expecting a reflection but what she saw was different.

The Hermione staring back at her was dressed in black. Her hair was still the same colour expect it had streaks of black running through. Her face wasn't heavily painted except for the thin line of eyeliner running around the edge of her eye, and a dose of black mascara, which accentuated her eyelashes.

She pushed her hand towards the mixture only finding her twin doing exactly the same thing.

'Look…' both of them said. 'Hang on…' they said again. Both of them turned away to consult their friends.

'Right, I think I've just about worked this out. We are exact replicas of each other.' She glanced at her twin. Noticing the difference in appearance. She shook her head. 'Okay we are exact replicas on the inside. For example, we both seem to be saying exactly the same thing at the same time. And I think, we're thinking everything the same. Look basically everything I am saying now, she is repeating to her Harry and Ron.'

'So what do we do about it?'

'Well I think we need to all get onto one plane, either theirs or ours. Obviously we would prefer ours, seeing as it is a territory we are comfortable with. But we are evil there, so they probably won't want to compromise.'

'Fine we'll go over there.' Ron said and made his way over the cauldron. Sticking his head over, he was greeted with his twin doing exactly the same thing.

'Right we are coming over. You are staying there.' Both Ron's said. 'Look, just stop talking.' They both said. Both Ron's sighed. 'We can't do this because he says exactly what I say.' Both Ron's whined in frustration.

'Oh move over.' Hermione said. She looked in at herself, took a deep breath and willed her other to stay there. She stuck her arm in to the cauldron only to find her twin's hand sticking the other side of her arm. She looked in between the two arms and saw herself again.

'Right.' Hermione said. While her hand was in the potion. What surprised her was that her twin hadn't said anything.

'Are you coming over or are we.' The evil Hermione asked.

Hermione glanced at her friends, first shocked that they weren't saying exactly the same thing together, and also that they could hear each other.

'We're coming over to you. You have to stay there. We don't want any trouble. I assume you know what can happen if we harm each other.'

'Of Course I know. I'm not stupid.'

Hermione pulled her arm out of the potion at the same time as her twin, and turned to Harry and Ron.

'So I guess we're going over there. Now this cauldron is big enough for us to squeeze through. I'll go first. Once you see me through you can come over. Okay.'

Hermione was just starting to walk back towards the cauldron when she felt Harry clutch at her arm. He glanced at Ron and pulled Hermione into a quiet area.

'Harry, what is it? This could be our breakthrough. We might be able to defeat Voldemort. We can't hang –.'

But Hermione was silenced with Harry's lips pressed up against her. Her eyes fluttered closed, and she felt herself relaxing totally into him, as she wrapped her arms around his neck. Sucking on his lips she soon found him opening to her. She felt her heart pumping increase as she found his tongue sliding around in her mouth.

Her hands that had been around his shoulders started to make their way down his back by inserting them through his collar. She lightly scratched his upper back, sending shivers through him. His hands that had been lying on her waist, suddenly found themselves under her shirt. Resting on her waist and back. He pressed himself forward pushed her into the wall. She pushed her knee up slightly so it rested between the splitting of his two legs. She slowly and gently moved her knee around, slowly massaging his groin. Harry growled deeply and slowly pulled away to look her in the eye.

'Do you know what you do to me?' Harry said in a husky voice. Hermione looked at him, and slowly licked her lips sensually turning Harry on even more.

'I can guess.' She said. 'Maybe one day, you will be kind enough to show me. You never know… I might even be able to… relieve you.' Pausing to cause Harry to moan and shuddered just thinking about it. 'But first, we are going to do this.' Hermione said. She moved out of Harry's space and headed towards the cauldron seeing Ron stare into it. Ron had ignored what had gone on in the corner, but was shocked to realise how eager they were to experiment in their relationship. He moved out of her way, and Hermione looked in to see herself standing there. Hermione leaned forward, took a deep breath, and stuck her head in. She soon surfaced to find herself coming out, so it looked like she was coming from the bottom of the cauldron. After some help from herself, she made it through.

Once they were all through. They stood up and analysed the area they were in. It was still Ron's room, except everything looked a lot darker.

'Hey' both Hermione's said. Both Harry's stood with their wands clutched in their hands.

Harry glanced at his twin, and wondered if this Harry had been through everything he had. Wondered if he had to put up with the Dursley's the bullying of his cousin. Wondered whether he had to fight against Voldemort. Whether he was going out with the evil Hermione. Whether they had just had a passionate kiss. Everything seemed so unbelievable.

'So we all know why we have done all of this. Right?' The other Hermione said.

Hermione nodded her head, her soft brown hair cascading around her face. 'Do you have any idea how we're going to do this. Are we going to all stay in one 'world' or are going to separate into each others. What?'

Both Harry's sighed. 'I think that we should separate into each other's worlds. We obviously can't stay in the same world; otherwise one world will lose Harry, Hermione and Ron. And the other will gain three teenagers.' Both Harry's said.

'Obviously we have to do it soon, otherwise I'm going to go mad with frustration.' Both Ron said.

Both Hermione glanced at each other. They rolled their eyes, and walked past their boys, so they meet in the middle. Standing close they whispered their plans, so that nobody else could hear. After a few minutes of silence between the boys, Hermione turned around and addressed the audience of four.

'We are going to switch positions. We are going to go into each other's world, impersonate each other, and our aim. To kill Voldemort.'

'Hang on a minute though. If we kill Voldemort, our evil Voldemort then won't that mean we will be killing their good Voldemort.' Ron said. At exactly the same time however, the evil Ron was saying. 'Hang on a minute though. If we kill Voldemort, our good Voldemort then won't that mean we will be killing their evil Voldemort.'

Hermione sighed, walked back over to Ron and pulled him aside. 'Okay listen to this Ron. Our philosophy in our world is good triumphs over evil. That it is wrong to be evil. And everything connected to evil is bad. Well in this world, it is the total opposite. To balance our world out, so basically here, it is evil that triumphs over good, that it is wrong to be good. And it is frowned upon. So by killing our 'evil' Voldemort, we will be restoring the whole good over evil. And killing their good Voldemort it will be restoring evil over good. Now I know it sounds strange and something we have always been trying to fight against. But we have to understand that these are their views. They find it just as hard to understand why we would want good to win. When we find it hard to understand why they would want evil to win.'

'Good I bet Malfoy would love it here.' Ron said.

'Yeah, I bet our Malfoy would want to be here, but think about the Malfoy that is actually here. He is good.'

'I'd like to see that.' Ron said. 'I can't wait to see how half our friends turned out.'

Hermione rolled her eyes again, and turned back towards the other trio.

'So are we staying and you going over to our world?' Hermione asked. The other Hermione nodded her head. Both Harry's suddenly had a confused look on their faces.

'Hang on a minute, how come, you two aren't talking at the same time, but Ron and I are?' both Harry's asked.

Hermione looked unsure. 'I dunno. It's strange.' The other Hermione said.

'Right. If we're staying here and you are going over there, then you need to know what sort of things we do. We don't want to act suspiciously do we.' Hermione said.

The other Hermione shock her head. 'Right basically we are bad. If you come across a goodie two shoes, then we torture or kill them. We have no idea where Voldemort is; otherwise we would have destroyed him. But as you know, he is powerful, and wants to destroy us just as much as we want to destroy him.'

'Okay, and we are just about the total opposite of that, however we try to harm death eaters. Not kill, otherwise that would end us up in Azcaban. So please don't do that.'

'I suppose once we have gotten to Voldemort we can just switch back to our normal selves and stop acting like you?' Hermione said.

'Yes. But I don't know how we can kill him. We are exactly the same just in different worlds.'

'Don't worry, Harry you being evil, won't be afraid to kill him, and I don't think we will have a problem either. Anyway you have to remember, that everything that happens to him on one side will happen on the other.'

'Also seeing as we have opened this portal, not everything is connected as it was. You can see that already we.' Hermione said pointing between herselves. 'We have stopped talking at the same time. We need to be quick otherwise Voldemort may be fine in one world and killed in another. And that is going to wreck the balance thing.'

'Fine we'll go. But carry some of the potion in a flask or something, then we can communicate once we have separated. We need to keep in contact.'

Both Hermione's took a deep breath. What had they got themselves into? They thought, because now they might not have wrecked one world, but two.
