FOREWORD
One crossover that I thought I would never do, despite how popular it seems to be, is a crossover between Harry Potter and my favourite TV series, Doctor Who. As of writing, there are over a thousand such stories, which I believe to be more a function of how popular both franchises are rather than the compatibility of the two. After all, while it's pretty soft science fiction, Doctor Who IS still science fiction, while Harry Potter is fantasy, and I considered the two hard to mesh. It's why I have few such crossovers in my favourites, though they are there.
However, I have finally decided to do one. A reincarnation fic that will help cover some of the problems I mentioned with such a crossover. It came about because, after the success of my pure Harry Potter fics On the Delights of Drinking Blood and Just a Touch of Kleptomania, both of which feature amoral, if not Dark, Harrys, I was tempted to do a Dark Lord Harry.
Both of the above stories were inspired by challenges issued by DZ2 on their forums. And I was tempted to do yet another one. Incidentally, I don't normally do challenges and the like. However, there are exceptions to the rule, exceptions which I take up entirely on my own terms (so let that be a warning to anyone who thinks they can send me challenges: I DON'T ACCEPT THEM NORMALLY! DO NOT DO IT OR I WILL BITE YOUR HEAD OFF!).
Anyway, after considering a few of their challenges, I decided to do a hybrid between DZ2's Revenge of the Half-Blood Prince challenge (where Harry becomes a Dark Lord favouring Halfbloods and Muggleborns), The Wrong Victim challenge (where Hermione is the first victim of the Basilisk) and their Writing on the Wall prompt. However, this story is NOT an answer to any of these. Rather, it is a hybrid of both, along with Harry being a reincarnation of one of Doctor Who's most criminally underutilised villains. Same with Hermione, believe it or not. Hopefully, it will seem good.
Anyway, some disclaimers before we get to the story. Firstly, there will be spoilers for the Harry Potter series and for a number of Doctor Who references. You have been warned.
Secondly, there will be annotations. If you feel the urge to complain, then resist it, or better yet, strangle it.
Thirdly, this is an M-rated work. There will be language, violence, and sexual references. Again, you have been warned.
Finally, the following is a fan-written work. Harry Potter and Doctor Who are the property of their respective owners. Please support the official release. Otherwise, the Time Lords will erase you from existence…
