A Time Lord's Daughter
New Doctor Who / Harry Potter Fanfiction. Hope you enjoy and remember as always, I'd love it, if you could review.
Hermione was sitting at the top of the stairs listening to the strange tall man with the long beard and long robes who was discussing with her parents about her being witch. She always knew she had been different from the other kids. She had been having bouts of accidental magic for the last couple of years, but nothing stopped the drum beats she had continuously heard from the day she was born.
Her parents had taken her to multiple doctors who couldn't find anything wrong with her and her parents had assumed it was all in her head and eventually Hermione had stopped mentioning it, but the drum beats hadn't stopped, in fact they seemed to be getting worse.
She was so stuck in her own head that she didn't even hear her name being called by her parents until she saw them staring at her from below beckoning her down to join them.
Hermione got up, brushed down her clothes and headed down the stairs to join everyone. She entered the room and sat down opposite the smiling older man.
"Good to meet you Miss Granger." He said as he extended his hand.
"And you sir." She replied as she sat opposite.
"I assume you have heard from your position on the staircase that you were listening to my conversation with your parents and therefore you understand why I am here today.
Hermione nodded.
"Excellent" Replied Dumbledore and he reached into his robes revealing a thick parchment envelope with a crest on the seal. "For you Miss Granger."
Hermione reached out taking the letter out of the older wizard's hands, opening the letter she began to read.
"Sir, how to buy my school supplies? What is Diagon Alley and how do I get there."
"Not to worry my dear. I will send you instructions by owl as to where we will meet, and I will escort you to buy your supplies." Dumbledore rose from his seat, stepping around the table to shake her parent's hands before they all walked towards the door. He reached his hand to the door knob and began to turn it before Hermione's voice stopped.
"Sir, may I ask you something?"
"Of course, my dear."
"Ever since I can remember I've heard drum beats in my ears. Mum and Dad have taken me to all sorts of doctors, but they can never find anything. It never goes away. Is this normal because I'm a witch sir?"
Dumbledore stared with curiosity at the young witch as he slowly pulled his wand out of his robe. Hermione stepped back as he parents stood in front of her to protect her. Dumbledore smiled.
"Please relax Miss Granger I promise that I mean you no harm. I merely want to perform a charm on you, that's all. Sensing her hesitation Dumbledore smiled at Hermione as he did his best to ease her anxiety about the whole situation.
Hermione stood completely still as she watched him wave his wand in complicated movements until what looked like a planet emerged from the tip of his wand and began floating in the air.
Sir! Sir! What is that? What planet is that? I don't recognise it from my studies of the solar system."
"No, my dear. I believe that is because it isn't it. It appears to be where you are from"
"From Sir?"
"Where you were born Miss Granger."
Hermione took a step back. "No sir, your wrong. I was born here, right here." She said in a slightly panicked voice as she looked to her parents for reassurance. "Mum? Dad?"
Hermione's parents looked at each other. "You're our daughter Hermione and we love you very much, but you're not our biological daughter, I didn't give birth to you."
Mrs Granger sensed her daughter's confusion and upsetting emotions as she took her hand in hers as she used her other tilt her head up. "You are loved Hermione, just because I didn't give to you Hermione certainly doesn't mean we don't love you. We love you with everything that we have Hermione and never ever forget that." She said as she smiled and leant forward and placed a kissed to her daughter's forehead before pulling her into a hug.
"Miss Granger do you remember anything…"
"No Sir. Nothing. I remember nothing. Do you know what planet that is Sir?"
"No Miss Granger, but we can certainly find out, if you ready that is."
"I'm ready to know Sir. I think I've been ready to know all my life."
Dumbledore nodded slightly as he waved his wand and muttered something under his breath that Hermione couldn't hear.
Hermione watched carefully as a slight mist began to appear before a name appeared in the clearing.
Gallifrey
"Sir, what's Gallifrey."
Dumbledore stared at the planet. He knew that this couldn't be possible. From what he had read, Gallifrey was the subject of Legends. A race known as Time Lords, their home destroyed during the Time War. There was no-one left; or so he thought.
Hermione repeated her question and as she did it caught Dumbledore's attention as he turned around to face her.
"Gallifrey, Miss Granger is a legend from a time since past."
"Wait Sir, if Gallifrey is a legend from a time since past, how I can be from there? She asked.
"An excellent question Miss Granger." Muttered Dumbledore. "An excellent question indeed."
Else where the 11th Doctor had been travelling when a message came though the TARDIS. word that he never thought her would hear again. Gallifrey. His home planet. Why was someone uttering that word, his home planet. He had to find out. He used the message coming into the TARDIS as a signal and began to lock on and find his target.
He felt the TARDIS hurtling through the vortex, hurtling towards Earth, landing soon after. He opened the door to what looked like a typical English looking neighbourhood.
"Right well, this can't be right. Must have got the signal completely wrong, complete bollocked that one….
The Doctor stopped in his tracks. He saw her. Both of his hearts reacting to the young girl standing with her parents, She had his eyes, her mother's wild curly hair, he smiled as he reminisced about her mother, aside from the eyes and her hair colour, she looked just like her. There was no mistaking this was their child, but why was she even talking about Gallifrey. How had she found out? He had made sure that she wouldn't remember anything about that. He had made sure of it.
He gulped hard as he watched them talking with an old man. Really old man he thought to himself as he looked at the length of his beard. Subconsciously rubbing his bare face. Well I'm old he thought to himself, older than this old man here, although looking at his face you'd never have guessed it.
He watched as the older man started walking down the pathway. The Doctor quickly followed him and as he turned the corner he watched as man he had been followed disappeared right in front of his eyes.
He quickly pulled out his sonic screwdriver and began to analyse the air in which the man had just been.
"Come on, come on!" He snapped as he hit the sonic. He looked up at it as he began to interpret the results.
"No, that can't be right. There's no such thing as…"
"Magic. I'm afraid dear there is and your daughter is half which, half time lord. Just like her Mother." Came River's voice as she turned the corner
The Doctor stared at River, his emotions turning from confusion, to hurt and anger.
"River…River, we made a choice."
"No Doctor you made a choice! I never said I was going along with it."
"We agreed that it would be best for her not to…
"Not to know what Doctor, for our daughter not to know who she truly is. To keep parts of herself locked away.
"Yes, exactly…..no wait. Exactly like you did River eh, you were a witch. I mean are a witch. I mean, well I don't know what I mean, wait yes, I do…magic, really? How does that happen…"
River smirked as she wandered closer to her husband. "Well if your unsure I'd be happy to provide some lessons sweetie.
"No….Yes… No distractions." He frowned, pointing at her.
"Right where was I?...Ah yes! It was for her own safety! River, if anyone found that she was part time lord. If anyone found out who she was I… River, you are part witch and you didn't tell me! How could you not tell me!
"Spoilers." She smirked.
His anger beginning to boil inside he marched over to her. "No, no more spoilers, no more cryptic messages."
"It doesn't matter Doctor. The only thing that matters now is protecting our daughter."
"Right, okay, fine, but don't think this conversation is over Professor Song. The Doctor turned his back. "Right what do we do now."
He got no response and turned to find River walking away from him and up the road towards the young witch's house. He quickly called her name trying get her to stop as he rushed to catch up to her.
"River, River, River, what are you doing. You can't just knock on the door and say "Hello Little Witch. I'm your Mother, River Song, a half witch half time lord and he's your Father his name's The Doctor and He's from the planet Gallifrey in Constellation of Kasterborous. I mean I know I'm alien, but what suggestion is just downright barmy.
River rolled her eyes and away from the Doctor. "Alright fine, fine we'll go back to the TARDIS." He said as they turned around heading away from the house.
The Doctor closed the door behind him and leant against it as he watched River Song, his wife leans over the console.
"You should have told me you were a half witch River."
"Yes, well the past is the past and it's not like we change it now can we."
The Doctor smirked as his eyes wandered around the TARDIS. "Well, we could."
River's eyes widened in shock.
"But of course not, no we won't, no bad idea." The Doctor stared at her. "You still want to go and see her don't you."
"Of course, I do Doctor, she is my child, she's our child. I love her to the ends of the universe. The hardest thing I had to do was to give her up.
The Doctor walked over to her standing next to her as he took her hand "I know River, you don't think that it was hard for me to give her up to lose her, like I've lost others before."
"The Time War" Whispered River as the Doctor nodded
"But we agreed we would do this to keep her safe."
"I know, but it still doesn't keep this from being hard."
"I know River. Now, more importantly are you going to tell me do you have wand, most witches have a wand don't they."
"Well Sweetie. I'm not most witches or most time lords.
The Doctor smiled. "You certainly are not."
River chuckled when they both heard a small voice coming from behind them.
"Hello, Excuse me, Hello?"
The Doctor and River turned to see their daughter standing in the entrance way to the TARDIS. Her eyes looked just like his and her hair was a mess of wild curls just like River's.
"What? How did you get in here?"
Hermione held up a key. "It's a bigger on the inside" She said as she looked around
The Doctor quickly rushed over to her his sonic screwdriver drawn, almost wand like as it began to beep over Hermione who quickly re-coiled from it.
"It won't hurt you. He won't hurt you. Doctor, stop beeping our daughter."
"Daughter? I'm your daughter?" She repeated before collapsing onto the TARDIS floor.
Both River and the Doctor sat down beside their daughter collapsed body as the Doctor covered her with his jacket.
"How did she get a key to the TARDIS?"
"Haven't a clue. You know she's going to have questions when she awakes."
Yes of course she will, and we should certainly have some answers for her."
Hermione had told her parents the she needed some air. After everything she had heard from her being a witch to coming from a planet that wasn't Earth, she felt like her head was going a million miles an hour and she was drowning.
She headed out the front door and walked down her path, when she heard the drum beats, they were getting louder. She tried to shake it off as she continued down the road. Suddenly her hand burned, she cried out when a key suddenly appeared.
"What in the." She said as she looked down at her hand and then at the Police Public Call Box that suddenly appeared in her vision field as she turned the corner.
Something about the big blue box was calling to her. She looked down at the big blue box and then to the key in her hand. She took a shaky breath and started heading towards it.
Hermione took another breath and she put in the key in the lock and turned, hearing it click she pushed the door open and stepped inside. Her eyes widening, the inside was huge, much bigger on the inside than the out, but for some reason it didn't scare her as much as it should.
As she took another step inside as she took note of the two-people standing to her with their backs towards her. She didn't really know what to say. She simply said "Hello" as she watched as they turned to great her.
She took in their appearance she could see parts of herself in each of them, but before she had a chance to speak or think any further. She was asked by the man how she had got in, before holding up her key not uttering a single word.
Before she could say anything the strange looking man with the bow tie and suspenders, rushed over to her waving his hand about while holding onto a strange looking tube. She heard the women talking to her assuring her that the man wouldn't hurt her. But the only word that really stuck out was the word daughter. She was their daughter. She was their daughter. Hermione felt herself falling, collapsing.
