“What it means in truth is I have no clue, really. Ideas, maybe. But? You said it? Souls touching or intertwined, even?”
“That is what we have been told… and dealt with.”
“Then… the simplest explanation is that your fates? They are tied. I am no expert. How “tied” do you think they are? If I can ask?”
“Ah… we aren’t embarrassed or anything, but-“
“My little twin is the other half of me. To put it bluntly. We have learned to handle it but… yeah. Very connected and if anything ever threatened-“, you begin to spit out, your voice as level as possible.
“Heh! Don’t worry. That sounds very, very sweet. I have my own brothers and sisters; different father but still. I can tell clearly enough you love each other. Not only that, but I know that it is probably the strongest force on earth. Most powerful spell there is. But… power must always come with a cost. Always. Even in the case of something as wonderful as what I am sure you share.”
“And… I mean, it’s annoying when our emotions get out of check and leak in, or we end up tossing sticks the same way or what ever, but it is worth it.”
“Yes, I am sure… but that which affects the soul, it is considered the Darkest of magic of good reasons. With what we have? What is left after Merlin’s Interdict? There is no way to heal, to change a soul we have other than those means, few as they are.”
“Professor, we were just born like this, it’s no one’s fault. We just learned to always be with one another… and she is a brat but I love Emmy. And if you ever tell someone I said that, Em...”
“You must. Because I do not think you could have lived otherwise.”
“It would be annoying if we didn’t, would have probably put a pillow over her face-“
“Literally.”, and you quit bickering a bit.
“What?”
“Souls… they are not compatible. Not normally, not even the closest, ones meant for one another. The only reason you are not insane or dead is because of the circumstances of how you came to be and that love. Like a donor implant in the muggle world; compatible. But even then, there would be rejection symptoms. But…”
“But?"
“One of the two of you should not be alive right now, at the least; souls cannot exist like that, not normally. One of yours should have overpowered the other, torn it to shreds… and then the survivor? Without the other one to fill in the spaces? Gone now? It would have collapsed. Died or scared over so badly the person would be unrecognizable.”
“What!”
“What!”
And you took the role of big sister, because that was what you would always be, even if you felt a hair of fear creeping in from your other part.
