Through The Looking Glass

**


(G)Harry and Draco entered into Dumbledore\'s office. The rest of the people were still there. (E)Harry sneered at the pair as they came in.

\"Nice of you to show up,\" He drawled. (G)Harry gave him a sarcastic smile and went around to stand by Dumbledore. (GH)Draco stared at the new arrivals. Their likenesses to their people were uncanny, except that Ron and Hermione were far more sneering than the present ones, and Blaise and Pansy seemed nervous and scared.

Dumbledore watched the interactions and didn\'t comment on Harry\'s lateness. His eyes twinkled all the same.

\"I think we must come up with a solution to our problem,\" Dumbledore began and (E)Harry cut in.

\"Did you think that up all on your own, old man?\" (G)Harry glared at (E)Harry. His hand slid down toward his wand. (E)Harry smirked. \"Ah, ah, ah, I wouldn\'t do that if I were you.\" (GH)Draco put a hand on Harry\'s back to calm him down. Harry paused for a minute then shrugged, but didn\'t let go of his wand.

Dumbledore simply smiled and continued.

\"Well, as to the problem at hand,\" (EH)Ron snickered and whispered something to (EH)Hermione, who also giggled girlishly. \"It seems there is no immediate solution, so you will all have to stay here. I will have a dorm set up for all of you.\"

(E)Harry\'s expression darkened.

\"I am not rooming with those sorry Gryffindors,\" he said, pointing to Blaise and Pansy. Blaise scowled and reached for his wand, but Pansy pulled his hand back, whispering, \"Don\'t, he\'s not worth it.\" Blaise shot (E)Harry a murderous glance, but allowed his girlfriend to take his wand from him.

(GH)Draco was trying desparately not to laugh at the situation, but was finding it harder and harder each time one of the counterparts said something. The differences were so hilarious. He couldn\'t wait until his Blaise and Pansy met them. Oh the trouble that would come.

Dumbledore ignored the last comment. He took out his wand and (E)Harry narrowed his eyes. Dumbledore did a tricky little movement and then put it away.

\"You have a dormatory now. It\'s on the 3rd floor.\" Blaise and Pansy looked happy and relieved, but Ron and Hermione shared a dark glance. \"Perhaps we should make the best of a bad situation and you can all attend classes with your respective houses.\" Both Harry\'s looked ready to kill. (GH)Draco was smirking and snickering. His Harry glared at him and he shrugged, still smirking. (EH)Draco looked concerned and took (E)Harry\'s hand and squeezed it. (E)Harry sent one more glare at everyone before he and Draco left down the stairs. The rest of his group left with him.

(G)Harry and Draco were left with Dumbledore.

\"What are we going to do, sir?\" Harry asked. For the first time, Dumbledore looked worried.

\"I\'m not sure. I can only hope Professor Snape might be able to make a potion to send them back. Bringing them here has upset the balance greatly. I can only imagine what is going on on their side. I will attempt to make contact with my counterpart.\" Dumbledore sighed and looked out the window. Fawkes flew over to his shoulder and hooted softly. Dumbledore stroked his long feathers and sighed again.

Draco rolled his eyes and motioned for Harry. Harry shook his head and spoke to Dumbledore.

\"Draco said we might have to kill each other.\"

\"Perhaps,\" said Dumbledore. Harry stared wide eyed.

\"Really? Why? Can\'t we just send them back?\"

\"It might not be so easy. It took very powerful magic to bring them here.\"

\"You think Voldemort did it, sir?\" Harry asked.

\"No, this does not seem his style, but that doesn\'t mean he won\'t use it to his advantage. Having a wizard of your, that is to say, your counterparts skill, would be a great advantage.\" Harry\'s interest turned into a scowl.

\"How come I can\'t do wandless magic!? He said he\'s been training, why haven\'t I?\" Harry demanded. Dumbledore turned and looked into his beautiful green eyes. Dumbledore\'s eyes were still sparkling and he smiled.

\"You *can* do wandless magic, but we have waited to start training until you have realised your full potential.\"

Harry was very confused. He could do wandless magic? Since when? He\'d ask Hermione to look it up and help him. Draco seemed to know Harry\'s thoughts as well.

\"I know how to train for wandless magic, Harry. I\'ll help you,\" He said quietly. Dumbledore heard and twinkled more than usual. Harry looked at Draco with a questioning look. Draco nodded and looked away.

\"You two had best return to your own dorms and explain the situations, lest the others make trouble.\" They both nodded and left through the door.

(EH)Ron and Hermione were wandering the corridors, having chosen not to go to the dorm. Ron left down a corridor to see if he could find any interesting specimens in this new world. Hermione flounced down the corridors with no regard for anyone. Some of the students watched her with perplexed looks. (GH)Ron came around a corner and nearly ran into her.

\"Watch where you\'re goi--\" She cut herself off as she realized who it was, and decided to have some fun. If everything was opposite, then this Ron was like Blaise, and she was supposed to be like Pansy. She repressed a shudder and smiled sickeningly sweet at Ron. He gave her a confused look.

\"Are you okay, \'Mione?\" He asked.

\"Of course, sweety,\" She draped herself over him and he still looked uneasy.

\"Are you sure?\"

\"Of course I\'m sure,\" (EH)Hermione twined a hand in his hair and pulled him to her. Just then, the \"real\" Hermione came around the corner and saw Ron.

\"Hey!\" She shrieked. The pair broke apart and Ron looked over at her. He looked back at (EH)Hermione and his mouth dropped open.

\"What the hell!?\" He said. (GH)Hermione placed her hands on her hips and stalked over to them.

\"That\'s exactly what I\'d like to know, Ronald.\" Ron made a funny noise, it was between confusion and idignance. Hermione turned to her evil counterpart.

\"You stay away from my boyfriend,\" She snarled. (EH)Hermione smirked.

\"Like I\'d want him, I can have anyone I want.\"

\"Wait! What is going on!?\" Ron burst out indignantly. (GH)Hermione huffed and turned to Ron.

\" *She* is from a different universe.\" Ron goggled at her. \"Harry just told me,\" she explained. Ron didn\'t look anymore placated. \"And there are more, there\'s a you, Harry, Draco, Blaise and Pansy, and they are all exactly opposite.\" Ron mouthed like a fish out of water.

(EH)Hermione was still smirking, but quickly losing interest. Her eyes wandered across the hall where she caught a glimpse of (EH)Ron dissappearing after a sandy blond head down a concealed hallway.

\"Finnigan,\" (EH)Ron called. Seamus turned around and smiled easily at him.

\"Hi Ron, what\'s up,\" Ron grinned in an evil sort of way and moved closer to the cute Irishman. Seamus\' smile faltered a little as Ron neared. \"Uh, Ron, what are you doing?\" He asked nervously.

Ron approached quickly and Seamus was backed into a wall.

\"What does it look like I\'m doing, Finnegan?\" Seamus looked increasingly confused.

\"I have a boyfriend, Ron. And when did you start calling me \'Finnegan\'? And you\'re not gay!\" Ron smirked and leaned in to kiss Seamus. Seamus freaked and ducked sideways under Ron\'s arm. \"What the hell is wrong with you!?\" He shouted. Ron was not perturbed by his outburst, but followed Seamus\' movements. A voice came calling down the hall.

\"Seamus! Are you down there?\" Seamus looked relieved.

\"Yes!\" He yelled. \"Please come down here!\" Ron looked angry.

\"Why did you have to go and ruin the fun, Finnegan?\"

(GH)Blaise entered and put his arm around Seamus\' waiste and gave him a quick kiss. He gave Ron a scathing look.

\"What are you doing here, Weasley?\" He asked in a voice dripping with disdain. Ron narrowed his eyes and reached for his wand. \"You sounded like you were in trouble, baby,\" Blaise said to Seamus. Seamus furrowed his eyebrows and glanced at Ron.

\"I\'m not sure,\" he replied. Blaise also looked at Ron, who seemed bored.

\"What did you do, Weasley?\" he demanded acidly. Ron rolled his eyes and sneered at him.

\"Nothing a threesome couldn\'t fix,\" he said and raised his eyebrows suggestively. Blaise\'s temper flared and he reached for his wand, but Seamus stopped him.

\"What about Hermione?\" He asked Ron with concern. Ron scoffed.

\"Who\'d want to sleep with that slut?\" He said sharply. Seamus looked offended.

\"I can\'t believe you just said that! Hermione is not a slut!\"

\"You obviously don\'t know her that well,\" Ron sneered. Both boys were shocked that Ron would say something like that. Ron, however, became bored by the conversation and walked away, leaving the other two in a stupor.

***

Blaise burst into the Slytherin common room in a huff. The concealed door banged shut behind him. It was evident that he was fuming. He caught sight of Draco relaxing in an arm chair by the fire. He stalked over to him and planted himself directly in front of Draco. Draco looked up unconcernedly at him.

\"Yes, Blaise?\" He asked. Blaise glared at him.

\"Your boyfriend\'s best friend just hit on my boyfriend!\"

\"Blaise, calm yourself, you are a Slytherin, have some dignity.\" This didn\'t help Blaise any. If anything it made him more enraged. \"Besides, the weasel is straight.\"

\"He just hit on Seamus! He is not straight.\" Draco thought for a minute, enjoying the strife he was causing.

\"Did he seem different at all?\" Draco asked.

\"Well, he was dressed a lot better than normal, and seemed more confident than I\'ve ever seen...\" Blaise trailed away, thinking. Draco waited for it to hit him. \"Is he under a curse?\" he ventured.

\"No, he\'s from a different reality.\" Blaise stared at Draco. \"Yes, I said different reality.\"

\"What? How is that possible?\"

\"I don\'t know, but I have a bad feeling about all of it...\"
