Everyone in the hall looked at each other, wondering if they had found the same errors.
"Errr." Neville managed.
"Articulite ." Severus snorted.
Dan stood in front of Harry and Hermione. Both were looking at him in horror and fear.
"Well." His voice came out hard and cold. The teens were frozen in terror. Emma giggled at her husband, love shining in her eyes. "Do the two of you want to tell me what is going on?"
Luna chose that moment, to the despair of both Hermione and Harry, to speak. "Isn't it obvious." her mystical voice rang out with a little giggle. "Their other selves are not afraid to hid their relationship and are shagging like bunnies!"
Dan smiled at Luna. "Thank you my dear." His voice was soft when speaking to her. "you have been most helpful." from his coat he pulled out a sugar free lollipop. He kept them for himself and his wife mostly, as it was their little addiction, but Luna was special.
Luna squealed in joy before unwrapping and popping the sucker into her mouth smiling at Dan and then Neville in turn.
Dan turned back to Harry and Hermione, the smile gone from his face now.
"S-sir." Harry stuttered face white. "I, we, were going to tell you this summer. It just happened, and we are not, not doing what they are doing. I mean we love each other yes, but neither of us is ready to take that step, what with my attempted murder at every turn. We are just enjoying our love, the most we have done is kiss. I swear sir!" Harry gasped out in one long sentence causing Hermione to roll her eyes while gripping Harry's hand for support.
Dan looked at his daughter who nodding in agreement. Emma came to stand beside him giving the couple a once over before a smile broke out of her face.
Hermione sighed and smiled at this, though Harry still looked like he was about to die of massive heart failure. "Should I have asked you before I asked her?" His voice broke, wanting to please Hermione's family.
Dan finally smiled at the boy. "Its okay Harry. We will talk later. For now though, it is okay."
Hermione squealed like Luna a few moments before as she reached her arms around her father in a hug. "Thank you Daddy!"
Dan hugged his daughter and smiled. "Anything for you my dear."
Neville slapped Harry on the back. "Congrats man."
This caused Harry to climb out of his shock. A smile broke on his face as the truth hit him. He had permission to date Hermione!
Dan turned to Luna and Neville once Hermione had relinquished her hold on him. A raised eyebrow and hard eyes caused Neville to freeze, face becoming white.
Luna giggled still happily licking her sucker. "Its okay Dan." She smiled happily. "Neville has not asked me out yet."
Dan frowned eyes getting harder. "And why not?"
Neville shrunk back in fear. Luna laughed a full belly laugh and Harry was just glad Dan was not looking at him.
"I. I." Neville stuttered, causing Luna to hold her stomach in effort to stop the painful laughs.
Dan crossed his arms over his chest, looking down his nose at the boy.
Neville gulped. "I was going to wait until the full moon." He finally said through his fear. "The unicorns and fairies always rejoice the full moon in this little enchanted meadow, I was going to bring her there and ask her."
Luna stopped laughing to look at him in shock, everyone else copied her move, except for Dan.
The hard expression faded from his face as a smile took its place. He nodded his head. "Very nice. Sorry for ruining your surprise."
Neville shrugged. "I don't know if we will be able to now anyway." He turned to Luna who was on her knees before him, eyes wide with hope. "Luna will you be my girlfriend?" He whispered softly running a hand down her face.
Luna shrieked a happy yes before jumping on his lap and lavishing kisses all over his face. Harry and Hermione grinned, as now it was Harry's turn to slap Neville on the back.
Dan and Emma exchanged a heated kiss before taking their seats. The teenage couples beside them chatting happily about dates and double dates.
Just then an erratic Ronald Wesley stood,face red with anger. "You. You. You bastard!"
The group looked at him in shock and bewilderment.
"What's the matter Ron?" Harry questioned in confusion.
"She was mine!"Ron shouted pointing at hermione.
Dan, Emma and Hermione all growled. They were not happy with the ginger claiming Hermione as property.
Harry looked at Ron in confusion. "I didn't know you liked her Ron. You never said anything."
Ron's face got even redder. "I shouldn't have had to! I made it perfectly obvious that she was mine."
All of a sudden that she that Ron was talking about stood up.
Hermione had hers hands on her hips while glaring at Ron. "I am nobody property Ronald. I have a voice and a brain and have used both without asking for anyone's permission for years now."
Ron shrank back a little, intimidated and a little afraid of Hermione's 'scary voice'.
"And why did you wait until now to say anything?" Harry questioned placing a hand on Hermione's shoulder trying to calm her down. "You could have said something sooner."
"I COULDN'T." Ron screamed, spittle flying out of his mouth.
Everyone looked around in confusion.
"My best guess is Amun put some kind of blocker on, preventing people from speaking when he doesn't want them to." Emma said after a moment of tense thought.
Everyone else shrugged before getting back to the screen.
The school year had gone by in a blur, soon it was a two weeks before the train got here, owl exams started in the morning.
The two couples were in the Room of Requirement having some fun and blowing off steam. Steam was not the only thing to come off the girl clothing was virtually nonexistent.
Hermione and Luna had both wanted to try out some new form of play, so they had the boys tie them with fur lined leather cuffs to a very interesting spider web like structure made out of rope. As the group was all very comfortable with each other, Luna and Hermione were holding hands in the middle of the wed.
"That looks like fun." Emma murmured low enough for only her husband to hear.
Dan nodded in silent agreement, deviously eyeing his wife.
Neither girl was wearing anything other than a slim piece of fabric over their hips. The boys each had on a leather vest and a pair of leather pants.
Hermione and Luna blushed red at their bodies being on display.
"They look almost exactly alike." Luna spoke after taking in her other form.
"Luna!" Hermione cried in embarrassment.
"Are you sure this is what you want to try?" Harry said slapping a leather crop on his hand to measure how hard he needed to hit to make it sting only a little.
Hermione's and Luna's eyes widened in pleasure at the sound of leather hitting skin. They both nodded vigorously.
Off screen a few females also started getting a little hot and bothered.
"This is your last chance." Neville said running the handle of a short stick with leather straps hanging from it, flogger, over the side of his face gently.
This remark caused both girls to start breathing deeply, entranced by the two males in front of them.
Ginny, Pansy and Daphne bit their lips to distract themselves from the errotic sceen playing out before them.
The boys grinned before starting in on the girls. Neville took Hermione to begin with, while Harry took Luna.
The two timed it perfectly, the crop coming down on Luna's skin seconds before the flogger turned Hermione's pale skin pink, so each girl could hear the other getting hit before they felt the sting themselves.
The screen suddenly went blank to the cries of everyone in the hall.
"What just happened!" and "Hey I was watching that!" rang out through the hall.
The screen changed.
Hello. There was a slight problem with the feed to that world. We will now be viewing another much different world.
This brought some hushed whispers through the hall. The girls were happy that the scene hadn't continued, fear that they would show how much they were affected. The boys were just upset, some wanting to learn a new playtime activity, some just wanting to indulge their fantasies.
Vernon Dursley was what some would think of as the worst kind of man. He was fat, greedy and abused children. Well not all children, his oversight whale of a son was spoiled rotten by this man. What most didn't know including his wife Petunia was that Vernon was a wizard.
"WHAT!" Several horrified screams rang out through the hall.
Harry potter was a wizard as well. He was a very special wizard because when he was little, only a baby some crazy person, who considered himself the dark lord, tried to have him killed.
"I AM NOT CRAZY." Voldemort screamed in anger, hitting his bubble with his fist. This action caused him to fly back as the bubbled bounced. He landed on his arse, screaming words no one understood as they all tried to hold in their giggles.
What the two had in common, other than their ability to use magic, was that they lived in the same house.
Number 4 Privet Drive was a cold looking house in a colder looking neighborhood. The grass was all the same color green, the trees were all exactly seven feet tall, the shrubs pruned neatly to a three foot height. Even the houses and cars all looked the same. It was the last place you would think of that had anything unusual happen in it.
"That doesn't even sound like the pureblood neighborhood!" Narcissa said in horror. "how awful!"
Vernon and Petunia looked like everyone else on this street. They had all the right cloths, all the right dining wear, and even all the right hair on their bodies. They had a secret though, a secret that lived in the cupboard under the stairs. Harry Potter was Petunia's nephew, one that she despised for him being a freak, and for getting her freak sister killed. Yes she had thought her sister was a freak, but she had always hoped that one day Lilly would be cured of her magic, and would be able to live her life right next to Petunia like a proper family, now that would never happen, as Lily had died, leaving her freak son in Petunia and Vernons care.
"Well now I know why they hate me." Harry mumbled sinking lower in his set. Hermione grasped his hand trying to comfort him.
Harry and Dudley, Petunia and Vernon's whale son, were not very friendly. Dudley beat and bullied Harry to the delight of both of his parents. All this changed in Harry's fifth year of school.
Severus winced, he had not known Potter was treated like that. It still didn't stop him from being a toe rag though.
The boys were in the park, Dudley was once again giving Harry a hard time, when all of a sudden it started to get cold, very cold, and it felt like there was no happiness in the world.
"Oh gosh not again." Harry stated in horror.
Umbridge looked a little too pleased to see the dementors attacking Harry once again.
"Wh-what are you do-doing Po-Potter." Dudley stammered, his breath coming out in a fog.
"I am not doing anything!" Harry argued, trying to figure out what was causing this to happen.
Suddenly Harry saw the scariest creatures alive. Dementores. Their sickly skeleton hands were reaching for both boys now. Harry could almost feel them.
"What in the world are those things!" Emma and Dan said in horror.
"You can see them?" Dumbledore asked from his seat.
The two just nodded.
"Interesting, very interesting." Dumbledore muttered under his breath.
"RUN!" He yelled grabbing Dudleys arm and getting him to move.
Dudley followed blindly in fear, Harry never let go of him even though the bigger boy was slowing him down.
"Oh yay, i get to save his life once again." Harry muttered with a roll of his eyes.
"At least this time you don't have to carry him." hermione said with a cheeky smile causing Harry to kiss her lightly on the cheek.
Harry didn't know what to do, he had left his wand at home. Even if he had brought it, he couldn't use it.
"Smart move Potter." Draco called over.
"Did you miss the part where I couldn't use it?" Harry glared.
They were just running around the corner when Harry saw two things he had never expected to see. A skeleton horse was standing in front of his house pawing the ground. The horse had someone on him, but Harry could not tell who, the person was hiding behind a wall of invisibility. The only reason he knew there was a person was the blurry edges.
"Oh I love threastles, they are the nicest creatures ever." Luna gushed.
"They are very gentle creatures." Remus said with a smile. "They make an awful mess eating though.
The other thing he never thought he would see was Vernon holding a wand. A large dark cherry wand. And not only was he holding it, but he was using it!
Harry almost stopped short, but the cold breath of the dementors kept him running. They got to Vernon before Harry let go of Dudleys arm.
Vernon glared at Harry. "They would never had been here if it wasn't for you!" He shouted never taking his eyes of the creatures.
Harry rolled his eyes. "How come bad stuff is always happening to me." He grumbled under his breath.
Harry looked back over to the horse, who had been urged forward now.
"Harry." The person on the horse whispered urgently.
He would know that voice anywhere. It was Hermione.
He looked up as she slipped her invisibility. No one else noticed she was there. Vernon was unsuccessfully trying to hold back the dementors.
"I have your stuff, you need to get on. It is not safe here!" Hermione urged holding out her hand.
Harry paused. "How do I know it is really you?" He whispered fiercely daring another glance at a losing Vernon.
"CONSTANT VIGILANCE!" Sirius shouted from his place at the table, causing a lot of people to jump, and same to laugh.
"I am the only one in the world who knows you are gay and that you are in love with Draco Malfoy." She said with a smile.
Harry and Draco both shot back in the chair, horror written on their pale faces.
Hermione and Luna held a chuckle behind their hands.
Harry didn't think on it anymore and climbed up behind her.
They kicked off into the night to the screams of his 'family'. The dementors had finally overpowered Vernon and were now feasting on his, and his sons soul.
"You just left them there!" Molly cried in horror.
"That wasn't us Molly." Harry chided. "Besides they deserve it."
"I would normally say no one deserves that kind of fate, but seeing what they did to you, I agree wholeheartedly." Sirius said sticking up for his godson. Harry sent him a grateful smile.
They were riding for a long time before Harry spoke. "Where are we going?" He trusted Hermione with his life, she was his sister in all but blood.
"Home Harry." Hermione said with a sad smile. "We are going home."
"What do you mean we are going home?" Harry said in surprise.
"Do you remember the night you got your scar?" Hermione asked timidly.
Harry thought back. "Somewhat. I remember a scream and a blast of green light, but thats all. Everything else people have told me." he said with a shrug.
Hermione sighed. "Not all of what you have been told is true. Almost none of it is actually."
A few people starred, harry was wondering if that universe had anything in common with this one. He chanced a look at Dumbledore to see him watching the screen in shock and interest. Harry couldn't tell if it was the shock that meant the timelines lined up, or shock that the timeline was different.
"What are you talking about." Harry asked in a little confusion.
"I just found this out today Harry." Hermione mumbled sadly
"Found what out." Anger started to lace Harry's voice
"You were not an only child." Hermione said in sadness
"What!" His yell vibrated through the air, causing the beast under him to jerk. They both had to hold on to the skeleton from tighter to avoid falling off.
"You can't fall off them." Luna said eyes taking in the scene. "They have a natural charm, if they don't mind you on them, you will never fall off.
Hermione looked at her in surprise, but smiled in agreement.
"Don't interrupt." Hermione chidded. "Not only that, but James was never in the house, he never died."
Several gasps rang out through the hall.
"Mom?" Harry said in a desperate whisper.
"Lily, unfortunately, did die." Hermione said with a wince
Severus grumbled. "Of course the wrong one had to live!"
"How do you know this?" Harry demanded
"Thats a little complicated. But." She paused. "Harry I am your sister."
The hall was silent for several moments before a loud laughter filled the place.
"You are dating your sister!" Draco pointed, laughter filling his words.
Harry and Hermione looked at each other. "No, I don't think we are related in the real world." Hermione said after a moment.
"Your right." Harry said with a smile. "If we were I would be far smarter, and far more pretty." He said with a wink.
"Harry," Luna chided "Boys are not pretty, they are handsome."
