Title: Doujinshi

Summery: Draco has been misplaced into a world without magic, and where a certain author by the name of J.K. Rowling has the attention of millions. After reading six of her books, Draco tries to get back to his own world to fix what he sees as wrong. However, he has to get back to his own world first...

Disclaimer: ...no. Don't think so. I wish, but no.

SPOILERS: Everything including HBP.

A/N: My chapters are getting longer! ...I think... 'Neways, this update is right on the heels of the last one, that's for sure. Didn't get many reviews for the last one, which makes me want to cry. Oh well. I hope this chapter will be more to your liking. It was kind of funny to see the 'WTF, its Sirius!' And hopefully I've answered most of your questions. I think I only have one more character that I want to introduce, and she'll make her entrance next chapter. Hopefully.

The duet grinned. "You see, we brought you here."

Barely a moment later Sirius Black slammed though the door, wand drawn and pointed.

Draco's mouth dropped open in shock. It was a slightly younger and better put together version than the one that had been a fugitive in his own world. The cheeks weren't as hollow and though he was still thin it wasn't to the sickening degree it had been. His eyes carried a spark that had flared into a flame, promising death to those at the end of his wand.

What he found most shocking was who the wand was pointed at;it was the duet.

They just gave a slight smile as the little boy move to sit on their laps. Automatically, the hand that wasn't bound to the others wrapped around the little boy.

Draco looked at the picture the three of them painted and the hair on the back of his neck raised.

Sirius' face was contorted with barely controlled fury. "What have you done with Tori?"

The duet tilted their heads to the side. "The Warner girl? Hmm...We put her in Sarah Graham's care."

The boy then piped up. "I took her there."

To Draco, that wasn't much of a reassurance. It seemed like it wasn't to the Sirius-from-whichever-world either.

Draco wet his lips. "Prove it."

The brunette's body went lax as the blonde dug into the pocket by her hip and drew out a completed Rubik's Cube. The little boy snagged it from the blonde and the brunette's head came back up and blinked before the pair harmonized once again.

The spark of life in the little boy's face came and went as fast as the look of concern did.

Sirius was still tense, the wand still aimed at the three. His wary eyes darted to Draco. "Is that proof?"

Draco hesitated before he nodded. That was his Rubik's Cube. The only one to be able to solve that once he got it mixed up was Sarah. "Ye...yes." He hesitated, pausing to think if there was a better way to explain. "She's as smart as Granger."

The duet gave a bright smile. "That's because they're one and the same."

Draco tensed and could see that Sirius had as well.

"What?"

Draco winced at that tone of voice. Even though this might not be the Sirius from his world, Sirius Black was still his mother's cousin and carried much of the same temperament when angry.

They continued on, as if not sensing the danger that they could be getting into.

"Surely, you've realized that we are currently in a different world than your own? Here, there is no Hogwarts, no true magic to speak of. In your own world, magic binds the planet together. Two completely different worlds, except for one thing; the people that inhabit it."

Sirius sat down next to Draco on the cot that he had woken up on.

"Many of them are much different from their counterparts, and for some there are no counterparts at all or very few at that." They nodded to Sirius. "Some have a counterpart in every world."

"Every world?" Draco's mind was slightly boggled that there could be more than two.

They nodded as the little boy faded off to sleep, the colorful cube still in hand. "Yes. As of this moment, there are seven worlds registered. Each are connected and thus banded together by the circumstances that occur in each. Right now, Seven is the only world that Seventh is dead in." The duet blinked, as if just realizing that the other two wouldn't know their code. A soft smile fluttered over their faces. "The number refers to the world. The numbers like First and Second refer to Voldemort." They sighed. "He seems to be a constant... Adding 'Reverse' to the number refers to--"

"Potter," Draco guessed.

The duet blinked and then grinned. "Yes. They are a constant as well."

Draco waved his hand in a dismissive manner. "Okay, all we've proven so far is that I have a concussion and a vivid imagination. How can we prove that this is real? Or, more importantly, how do I get back?"

The duet grinned again. "You can get back only when we say you can. Currently, your fate is up to us until you exit our territory. You must meet our demands before you are allowed to leave."

Draco pinched the bridge of his nose, taking a quick look at Sirius and noting that the other just looked as if he was weighting what the two were saying. "And what would that be?"

The smile on the two girls faces were close to feral. "Join this worlds version of the Order of the Phoenix--the Hikari."

It was a few hours later that they were allowed to leave the little room that had become their prison and conference room.

Draco had been bound up in linen from wrist to elbow on both arms, and a few minor cuts and scraps had been taken care of. It had been drilled into his head that the wounds on his arms would never truly heal. He would be lucky if they would stop bleeding.

The duet, now reffered to as Morumaru had broken the news that the Sirius beside him was the one that had actually fallen through the Veil in his own world in a much gentler way than the news that they had to bend to the pairs will to get back to their own world. Morumaru had discovered too late that Sirius was falling through to do anything other than have the Veil be redirected to Seven. They were told that getting a straightline connection from One to Seven in time was a pain to construct.

"They've always been like that." It was the little boy. He was guiding them back to the apartment complex.

"Like what?"

"Souless." He didn't flinch, but the other two did. "They share a soul and a quarter between the two. If they ever break contact, they could die."

An image of the pair's bound hands flashed before Draco's eyes.

"They are the only known survivors from Three. Third was able to conquer there, and the destruction of their world was the only possible solution."

Sirius gapped. "Those two...?"

The little boy shook his head, guessing what the other was talking about. "No, they didn't destroy their world, but they managed to escape it." He paused, as if unsure how to continue. "In their flight, one of their souls was shattered. In an attempt to save them both, the other mixed the remaining parts and split it to share between them. They barely have enough soul to operate on a daily basis, and can't even access their memories from before it happened to find out what their names were."

They had reached the apartment building by this time. Before they went in, Draco kneeled down to look the little boy in his gray and dull eyes.

"I hope they can find the last parts of their soul."

A light once again flared within the otherwise dead eyes as determination entered his voice. "I'll make sure they do."

---

The little boy bowed deeply to Morumaru. "I have delivered them safely."

The two girls looked at him fondly. "Give us a hug will you?"

The little boy flew at them, careful not to disturb their bound hands.

"Do I really have to leave?"

They ran loving hands through his fire-red hair. "Yes, Lovely. We're afraid that we've kept you here too long. You must return home."

The heartbroken look that glued itself to his face almost chipped away their resolve. They gave him a wavering smile. "We'll see each other again, Lovely."

"Promise?"

"Promise."

With a sniffle, he lifted the curtain at the other end of the room and stepped through the stone archway into another world.

Yes, Morumaru was created while thinking of Moru and Maru of XXXholic. I do have a use for them, and hopefully, while their part may not be big, it will still be enough for you to see more of their character. (glomps Morumaru.)

Well, now it's time for a read thru and sleep.

Heh. The chapter revolves around Morumaru...sorry 'bout that. Sleep time now. 'Night.
