Answer:

21:00

2 hours later (23:00 - 1 hour before midnight) is half the time until midnight as 1 hour later (22:00 - 2 hours before midnight).


Explanation:

Because the one hour difference needs to be double, it's either one or two hours before midnight; 10 PM or 11 PM. This means the time now is 9 PM. One hour later, it's 10 PM (2 hours before midnight). Two hours later, it's 11 PM (1 hour before midnight; half as long).
