Chapter 3
Here we go again
Harry and Ron raced down the hall to the Kitchen at break-neck speed. Sliding around the corner the saw a whole crowd of Gryffindor boys staring through the kitchen door with google-eyed expressions on their faces. Harry and Ron reached the door and stared in horror at what the other boys were goggling at. There on the counter sat the Duplicate, who had lost Harry's boxers some where along the course of her trip, wearing nothing but Harry's shirt and sitting in a seductive pose, in the middle of the kitchen counter eating Chocolate-covered strawberries. It was at this point that Harry was relieved that Hermione had gone to interrogate Luna some more after supper instead of coming with them.
The duplicate Hermione picked up another strawberry and slowly took a bite of it. When she licked her lips one of the boys who had been leaning forward fell over taking have the boys in the doorway with him.
"Ron," hissed Harry, "we've got to get her out of there!!" when Harry did get an answer he turned and looked at Ron only to find him as goggled-eyed at the rest of the boys. Harry reached up and swatted Ron in the back of the head causing his head to bounce off the doorpost.
"Argh! What was that for?" said Rom rubbing his head.
"Ron," said Harry, "don't you remember? Duplicate, Hermione, preserving our life expectancy?"
"Oh yeah," said Ron. He took another look at the duplicate, "Hey Harry do you think that once this is over we could get Hermione to put on that shirt and eat Chocolate covered- strawberries for us?"
"RON," exclaimed Harry rolling his eyes, "you know what your brain is really in the gutter."
"I can't help it," replied Ron, "it's attached to the rest of me."
"That duplicate isn't the only hormonal case around here," muttered Harry
Before either of them could say anything else there was a gasped,
"WOW!"
"Oh no!" Thought Harry, "Just what we don't need, Collin, Hogwarts resident shutterbug!" True to form Collin Raised his Camera and was about to take a picture when Ron knocked a stool over on Collins foot. Collin yelped and threw his camera up in the air. Harry spun around with his back to Collin, who was nursing his foot, Caught the camera and took the film out of it. Then he turned to Collin and returned the camera.
Harry turned to the clone who was now watching the entire scene with great amusement on her face. As soon as she and Harry made eye contact her expression became a sultry come- thou- hither look. She moved and began to crawl like an animal on the hunt across the counter toward Harry looking like a sultry she-tiger. She kept coming forward until their noses were almost touching. Suddenly she gave his nose a sexy little nip and made a playful growling sound. While the boys were distracted by the duplicate's seductive display Ron saw his chance, erased their memories and sent them away on a wild goose chase. Harry glanced away to see what Ron was doing and when he turned around the duplicate was gone. Ron and Harry raced out the door and down one hallway after another. Then they raced out side into the bright Indian summer sun.
"Which way did she go?" asked Ron Looking around.
"I think I know," said Harry pointing to his shirt that was now laying on the ground at the head of the path down to the lake."
"Man," said Ron, "do you have any idea what would happen if Hermione sees herself walking around the lake wearing nothing but a smile!!"
"Yeah," said Harry, "why else do you think that I'm terrified!" they took off toward the lake when they got there they were relieved to find that no one was there. They began to walk around the lake when they came upon the clone playing in the mud her entire naked frame was covered in mud and she was rolling around in it laughing.

"What do you mean, me?" asked Harry as he and stood outside the bathroom door. Inside they could hear the clone splashing happily in the water.
"She's your Hermione clone," said Ron Handing him the sponge, " you clean her up." Harry walked into the bathroom and closed the door from behind him. A few seconds later there was a horrendous splash as the sound of someone being yanked into the tub followed by Harry's voice,
"Let go of me," he was saying, "don't stick your tongue in my ear, Yipe! Hands!" a few minutes later the door of the bathroom opened and Harry was standing there soaked to the bone.
"Not one word, Ron," Harry glowered at him.

Harry rolled over in his bed things couldn't be better it was the weekend and his pillow was so soft and warm and breathing. Harry stopped short and his eyes shot open
"Pillows don't breath," he said to himself raising his head, "or BREASTS!!" Harry sat straight up in bed and found the duplicate laying in bed with him Clothed in his shirt and boxers.
"Well he thought as he watched her sleep, "at least she had the good decency to keep her clothes on this time." Just then he heard an enraged scream coming from Hermione in the common room. Harry dropped his invisibility cloak over the clone and sound- proofed the walls.
Hurrying down to the common room he found Hermione on the warpath.
"I'll Kill Rita Skeeter this time," she fumed
"Why," said Harry, "what has she done this time?" Hermione shoved the magazine at Harry,
"See for yourself." She said and continued her angry pacing.
"Harry Looked at the Cover and froze. There on the cover was a picture of the clone sitting on the counter eating strawberries and the caption said:
Hermione Granger: Seductress of Hogwarts?"
