Chapter 112

The letter had a royal seal on it, and it was genuine, he'd verified that, it was requesting a meeting.

It also mentioned the other person who'd been there last time, not the Doctor, nor Alison.

"How is it the royals got a letter to you Draco?" Harry asked as Draco took a seat opposite him. They were in the club Harry had been a member of, at least on paper since the 1970s, it allowed them a private meeting place to discuss such things without visiting one another's houses.

Draco looked at him and shook his head a slight amused expression on his face. "I am a wizard of standing and society Potter," he smirked. "The better question Harry is why now?"

Harry shrugged. "Why not? Maybe now is when things have settled down that they want a chat," he paused to sigh. "I keep trying to get back into the swing of things-"

"That would be rushing around being shot at?" Draco commented dryly.

Harry laughed and smiled wistfully. "If only life were simple as that," he paused "It's more alien drugs and investigations," he paused to sip his tea. "Also Luna."

Draco frowned. "Lovegood? You still keep in contact with her?"

Harry nodded. "Here and there. Associations forged in fire and all that, don't fear you're still my friend who knows a lot of my secrets."

Draco nodded. "I don't doubt that," he smiled. "Few I imagine would wish, or engage with you on all those events."

"As well as you do Draco?" Harry wondered. "Occasionally wondered on the path untravelled..." he trailed off in half thought.

"How so?" Draco asked in an interestedly curious tone.

Harry shook his head. "Just," he breathed in a half moment of pause "if I'd never met the Doctor, went to Hogwarts, had a boring life, maybe ended up with that person, become the proper wizard," he smiled and shook his head again. "Just things along the way, ran into a version of the Doctor, who knew me and Daphne."

Draco raised an eyebrow at Harry. "You took Daphne away, from here?" The word away carrying extra meaning in Draco's tone as he gave Harry a look.

Harry nodded. "Bit of an adventure, broadens things," he looked to Draco. "It was good."

"It seems to have raised your sensibilities," Draco praised.

Harry nodded in agreement. "It has greatly I think," he paused and looked to his friend "I guess we need to go and see the Queen."

He'd dressed properly, with just a slight sense of flair, Draco still looked better dressed than him.

"Have you been back here?" Draco asked as they were driven towards Buckingham Palace.

Harry shook his head. "I still deal with the security services, bit of the politicians if they wouldn't stop dying or turning out to be dangerous criminals or whatever else while in power," he pondered as the car turned into the drive and looped around to where they could step out. Harry patted a pocket within his jacket.

"Making sure you're armed?" Draco wondered with idle amusement.

"Nothing so droll Draco, please," Harry commented giving him a look "just some photos I realised I had in the diary the Doctor gave us, in case the Queen enquires," he explained.

"Perhaps she wishes for Clarence Hall to be returned to their possession, as much as read from my own hand, owning it still seems in the abstract," Draco mused as the car slowed and the door was opened.

"Off you go, you're higher class than me," Harry gestured at the door.

"Aren't you meant to get out first Potter, draw fire?" Draco teased.

As they walked up the stairs Harry turned and looked around.

"Checking?" Draco wondered.

"Just in case, you've made me think now," Harry commented idly. "Doubtful though, we hardly encountered anyone who'd still remember us from last time."

"We barely do Potter," Draco commented quietly as they were led through to where they were to wait.

After greetings and offers to sit the Queen looked to them both and reached over to a side table. "I was recently tidying away some things from an old box, and found this," she pulled out what looked like a very realistic plastic flower. "Something like Lilly of the Valley," she paused to look at them. "My favourite flower."

Harry didn't know what to say so said "Yes your majesty."

"I believe you gave it to my father Mr Potter, a gift from delegates for services rendered and permissions granted at Clarence Hall, a property with quite an unusual history of ownership and maintenance," she finished in an amused tone as Harry attempted to remain unflustered by the quick presentation of information. "I understand you were also present assisting with the Convention Mr Malfoy."

"Yes your majesty, with the Doctor and his associate," Draco added.

The Queen nodded. "You met my mother and father?" She enquired.

Harry nodded, saying he did, pausing to extract an envelope from his pocket and passed two photos to the Queen. "I took these with your father and mother there."

The Queen took the photos. One showed the King and his wife and the second was one with Harry and Draco together with them. The Queen quirked a smile as she looked at the two photos and looked up at Harry and Draco. "You two do look quite dapper, and barely aged," she paused. "As time travellers of course."

Draco looked to Harry, Harry just shrugged slightly.

"Not deliberately so your majesty," Draco explained.

"On that occasion," Harry added in a slight mutter.

The Queen passed the photos back to Harry. Harry opened his mouth to offer her to keep them but as he did the Queen patted the box. "I have some originals here of course."

"Of course ma'am," Harry replied.

"Now to business," the Queen looked to the two wizards.

"To business?" Harry repeated, but inquiring.

"Clarence Hall, good to revisit every so often, these agreements?" She looked to them.

Harry nodded, he'd not really thought about it. "The particulars of our involvement there your majesty, recall of it is somewhat obfuscated; deliberately so," he admitted.

"I understand from the Doctor's letter at the time," she paused. "We shall renew that agreement, with some modifications allowing you overall control if need be, but the crown continues its management of the estate, especially in terms of the esoteric and wizarding you two gentlemen are better placed to be capable." She gave them a brief look. "Occasionally we find a use for the Hall even with its eccentricities."

Harry nodded, he'd barely really thought of the estate in the countryside that was Clarence Hall. In his peripheral vision he could see Draco nodding also.

Then the Queen pushed a button beside her and they were both standing. As the doors opened the Queen offered Harry an envelope.

"When the time is right Mr Potter," she said simply handing him it.

Harry nodded, but unsure what else to say he took the envelope and bowed to the Queen.

"What was that?" Draco asked as they were being shown out.

"I'm not sure, and as she mentioned 'when the time is right', I'm going to do my best to ignore it," he commented.

"Why not investigate it Potter?" Draco asked annoyed.

"Because time travellers love sending notes and letters, and this feels like something they might do," Harry answered.

"Do you count yourself in that collection?" Draco asked as they walked out of the Palace.

"Perhaps..." Harry mused.

Harry wondered if he could have apparated across the continent, weirdly he'd not done a lot of long distance apparating, even during his 'sojourn'. That sounded better in his head than going into the Time War.

But he had a hypersonic aircraft at his disposal, really he had two, one that Ioan was still testing. They'd both be useful, or at the very least a bit of fun, something interesting to mess around with.

"Coming up the coordinates now sir," said the intercom breaking into his thoughts.

He knew where they were landing, it was somewhere around the Kazakhstan-China border. Luna had said they'd be somewhere around there.

He'd done some research, while the Xecotcovach X-1 could land anywhere, he didn't want it to put down just anywhere. Somewhere secluded where its active and passive stealth could be engaged while he had his meeting. Luna suggested there was a 'surprise' in store for him.

That would be interesting. He hoped it wasn't a surface-to-air sort of surprise and more 'here's an interesting book' sort of surprise.

"It's a town near a river," Harry greeted to Luna as he approached a large tent, different to the last time he'd met her.

Luna laughed. "You're the man of mystery and learning Harry," she challenged playfully. "You found me."

"You're the most significant magical target around here, that was relatively easy locate," Harry commented idly.

"Target?" Luna fixed him with a look. "What have you been up to?"

"Recently? Meeting the Queen with Draco Malfoy to discuss an estate we inherited in the 1930s where we ate canapés and drank wine," Harry answered seriously.

Luna laughed. "I don't know if you're just fictionalising or telling the whole chaotic truth."

Harry tapped the side of his nose. "Who knows sometimes."

Luna gave him a look. "Is it because of some specific landscapes and geographic anomalies effecting retainment of memories?" She asked with a slight tilt of her head and tone of curious wonder, and perhaps a hint of knowing.

Harry laughed. "Want to come and work for me?"

Luna laughed in turn and shook her head. "No Harry, we're our own boss," she said as they both turned at the sound of apparition with Rolf coming in with the twins, one in each arm.

Harry stepped aside as Luna embraced her husband, and spoke in low tones to him.

"Let's have a seat," Luna gestured as Rolf greeted Harry with a smile and vigorous shake of the hand as she put the twins down elsewhere in expansive wizarding tent.

"You're not staying?" Harry enquired as Rolf made for the tent's exit.

"Got a friend of yours to pick up," he said looking between them.

As he exited the tent Harry looked to Luna. "Mine or yours?" He wondered playfully.

"Certainly," she replied with a smile.

"After going through your research, about those so called 'Revolution Man' incidents," she paused to look to him.

"Not wizard related, but how that was missed," Harry shook his head in disbelief.

"The muggles have a great capacity to miss some things Harry, even without magic and spells, the right word can be enough to make people forget, or give a rational reasoning for things, something better than magic," she paused as she smiled in recollection of something.

"But there are many exceptions," Harry commented.

Luna nodded. "Of course. I looked into your 'Rubasdpofiaew'," she wrinkled her nose at the phrase."Or Om-Tsor as it's more widely known as where the information it suggested came from; Tibet."

Harry nodded. "Call it Om-Tsor, easier to get the tongue around than Rubasdpofiaew," Harry continued idly.

Luna nodded. "It was Miranda I thought of," she paused to add "she'd a friend of Rolf's, she's been working on incremental updates to Guide to Herbology since the 1970s, I asked if she knew anything weird around Nepal. She's got her wand in all sorts of interesting herbology subjects. The weirder the better."

"Things beyond gravity resistant trees?" Harry wondered.

Luna smiled at him and tapped her nose. "That would be telling."

"And, anything interesting?" Harry asked. "Related to..." he prompted.

Luna nodded. "She knew of it, based on the information you gave me. It took her a while to recall when," she smiled seemingly in recollection. "There were the monks who used it in the 1950s. But when she went back in the 1960s to follow up the plant amongst other things she found out they'd burnt all traces of them," Luna paused and looked to Harry, watching his expression. "She still wanted to go and see for herself, it had supposedly happened recently."

"Did she find anything?" Harry wondered.

Luna nodded. "She said there was someone searching around where she'd determined the plants had been, dressed like a wizard of distinction" she paused to pull out a notepad. "As my father said 'write down weird quotes, just in case' she said to his querying look. "'He was dressed in the deepest purple coat, check plaid waist coat and trousers, a manic sense of a wizard, curiously seeking something of imagination caught in his mind'."

Harry leaned back, musing in half thought. "Definitely sounds like a wizard, or a drug addict, it was the 1970s."

"Late 1960s," Luna corrected idly.

Harry nodded. "Can I push my luck?"

"Your fungus?" Luna asked as there was a pop outside the tent, she turned and smiled. "That'll be Rolf again, and someone who knows a bit more about fungi than I."

Harry frowned and looked as the tent flap was opened.

"Luna darling, Rolf said it was a surprise after you were investigating this for some alien investigator I didn't want to spill the beans to any-" the woman stopped suddenly as she looked around the tent.

Harry was already on his feet, a broad smile. "Jo Grant!" He exclaimed in a warm greeting.

"Jo Jones sweetie," she corrected idly "Harry Potter," she pulled him into a hug. "Have you gotten taller?"

"And older Jo," he said as they hugged. "Merlin, nice to see you again," he said, his face muffled in her coat.

Harry wasn't sure how long he was held in a hug by Jo, it was like being hugged by the past, in a weirdly different way to meeting the Doctor. When he'd first met Jo, it has been just when he'd discovered magic. Going out to the Doctor's house, him fixing his eyes so he didn't need glasses. Going out to private museums with Jo and the Doctor...and then avoiding her when he'd been back in the 1970s.

It felt like it was all an adventure long ago.

"Come on Harry," Jo was saying taking his hand. "Let's have a walk outside, leave Rolf and Luna and the twins for a bit."

"How are you Harry," Jo asked, they were walking hand in hand along away from Luna's tent, she squeezed it and looked to him. "And don't say fine."

Harry squeezed her hand back. "I've been through some rough patches recently."

"You came out the other side?" Jo wondered.

Harry breathed in deeply. "Yeah, I did, still things to do, had a few adventures, been following up on some others," he paused. "Still lots to do."

"Sarah said you keep yourself busy," Jo looked to him.

Harry nodded. "Noticed you and her had a run in with UNIT and the Doctor," he paused and wrinkled his nose. "And her little gang of children."

Jo let go of his hand to point at him. "Nothing wrong with those Harry Potter, you were getting up to similar, so the Doctor said at your school."

Harry nodded. "Maybe it was just when I met them," he held up his hands. "Nothing wrong with a Scooby gang, her son seemed quite perceptive when I met him," Harry mused as they walked along, there was some seconds of silence before he looked to her. "How are you anyway Jo? It's been a long time."

"Longer for me than you, jumping back to the 1970s and all that Harry," she frowned. "Feels like so long ago."

"With the Doctor, UNIT and everyone," Harry began.

"You know...about the Brigadier?" Jo asked in a tiny voice.

Harry nodded. "Caught up with Kate, apologised for not being there," he smiled sadly. "I was otherwise detained."

Jo looked at him for a few moments. "I think that sentence hides something I don't want to know about Harry."

"I think you're right Jo," Harry reached up massaging the back of his neck.

Jo looked at him and smiled kindly. "Luna said you're looking into an alien fungus, she thought of me."

Harry frowned in thought.

"Cliff's the one who's really into the fungus, you know, my husband," she pointed out.

"I don't follow everyone who travelled with the Doctor, or who I met, ran into John Benton at a wedding a year or two ago, not a lot of people who I met through the Doctor are co-temporous with me."

"Co-temporous?" Jo repeated. "You mean they're not from the same time as you?"

Harry nodded. "Yeah."

"The Doctor," Jo paused and smiled. "The young one with the bow tie, he said he had a couple travelling with him, are they still you know?"

"Having hanky panky in the TARDIS?" Harry challenged playfully.

"Harry!" Jo exclaimed "Not like that!" she chastised half embarrassed.

"Tegan said there was none of that when she travelled with him," Harry commented idly with a half smile.

"Tegan?" Jo queried.

"Jovanka, Sarah might have mentioned her, they met in the Death Zone on Gallifrey, along with-" he was cut off.

"Along with the Brig, I remember," Jo shook her head. "And on Gallifrey with the Time Lords!" He voice full of wonder "They were always something the Doctor didn't trust, going to Uxarieus and Solos, that was the only interactions we had," she stopped "And Peladon, how I could forget about Peladon," she smiled, reminiscing "Lovely sweet King Peladon."

"Did he have a first name?" Harry wondered.

Jo looked to him with a half smile. "He was just 'Peladon of Peladon', it was another planet Harry! You don't ask those sorts of things, just introduce yourself and-"

"Get locked up?" Harry interjected playfully.

"You're right," Jo fixed him with a look. "Have you been doing much of that?"

"I mostly got shot at," Harry quipped. "And I thought you didn't want to know."

Jo shook her head. "No, Harry, I've got my life here on Earth, thought I might travel with the Doctor, but who knows what the Time Lords might say eh?"

"Who knows indeed," Harry mused in a sombre tone.

"Have you met any of them? Beyond you know who and the Doctor," Jo asked curiously. "Just, when I was with the Doctor, he and Sarah were..." she trailed off. "Don't know why I'm asking really Harry, just, we were always off on those adventures for them."

Harry smiled at the older woman, wondering if a fictionalised truth would be better than an outright lie, or perhaps a devastating truth, then decided on neither. "I ran into one of the Doctor's friends recently, who also travels in time, she mentioned she's known the Doctor for long time, I think she's a Time Lady, or something like it, gets around in a red-"

"Bus?! Iris Wildthyme," she laughed. "She was a hoot! How's she doing?"

"Breaking into banks with a Panda for the equivalent of National Heritage," he said with a smile.

"And where was that?" Jo asked curiously.

"I ran into her on Barastabon," Harry answered easily.

Jo frowned. "You ran into her on another planet, the bakery one? How? Don't tell me he's giving you lifts?" She asked sounding a little...not hurt, just...worried?

Harry shook his head.

Jo looked around and turned back towards Luna and Rolf's tent. "Look at us, reminiscing about the past, rambling on and all you wanted was some information."

"Hey," Harry pulled her in a half hug. "You made me feel...proper," Harry's voice caught in his throat as Jo looked up at him. "I'd been visited by the Doctor before. You and he took me in, but it was you Jo Grant that took me shopping in London, made me feel... properly like a person after the time with the Dursleys, you're..." his voice went dry again. "I should've come looking for you sooner, not just when I needed something..." he sighed. "Thought you've got your own life, don't want someone you met in such a brief moment in time, especially with the whole universe of people you ran into; Kings and Chronovores-"

"And you thought I'd forget the magic of you Harry Potter?" Jo challenged with emotion "With the Doctor into the near future?" Jo pulled him into a hug. "Silly man Harry, of course I remembered you!" Jo took his hands in hers. "I remember them all Harry. Latep and the Thals on Spiridon, Mary Ashe and all those colonists on Uxarieus, Stuart and Ruth with that TOMTIT thing, and..." Jo shook her head. "Also seven children, and lots of grandchildren."

"Like Santiago who accompanied you to UNIT Base 5," Harry mused.

Jo nodded enthusiastically and then looked to him. "That crossed into your 'League of Paranormal Investigations' did it?"

"I have some associates who look after things in Wales, they investigated while I was indisposed on another matter," Harry explained. "They had to intercept some wizards poking their noses into things that didn't concern them," he continued in a not too grim tone, not wishing to explain their deaths to Jo.

Jo nodded as they turned back towards Luna's tent. "You wanted to know about this fungus, alien fungus," she said looking to him.

He nodded. "Just something that we're looking into, I know it's addictive, goes by the nasty sounding 'Vraxoin' or XYP."

Jo made an affirmative noise of recognition. "Cliff's the one who did the research on all sorts of fungi," she smiled. "We honeymooned in the Amazon searching out unusual fungi, mycology to save the world," Jo mused wistfully. "We came across some unusual fungi, even a few aliens offering us some weird stuff, saw a bus," she looked to Harry "Not red, looked like a tour bus drop out of the sky when we were wandering around Ayacucho," Jo looked to Harry briefly. "That's in Peru Harry."

"Sorry my knowledge is a weirdly a bit mixed up between alien stuff and Earth based stuff," Harry offered.

Jo laughed. "Aren't we all after contact with the Doctor. These Navarinos had a flat battery or something, I helped them uncross their reversed polarities and get them on their way. Cliff got talking to some of them and they offered to pay us for our help with a sample of something called 'prototaxites stellaviatori' I remember it glowed and wiggled around like a sort of jelly fish thing, Cliff said 'no thank you', didn't want extra alien mycology messing up Earth's natural environment."

Harry smiled. "That's good of him, except we know after being with UNIT and knowing the Doctor how much clutter there is."

Jo smiled at mention of the Doctor's name and nodded. "But it was still nice, helping those people, they were on a time tour! Little bit of weirdness after saying goodbye to the Doctor."

"And Vraxoin?" Harry prompted.

"Oh, right," Jo nodded "you know there's plenty of fungi that can cause altered states, the 'magic mushrooms'."

"Psilocybin mushrooms, wizards learn to steer clear when potion ingredient foraging," Harry explained, his and Ioan's own research into fungi was ongoing, only caution amongst potion makers and general derision in the wizarding world for the muggle 'magic mushroom' term. Nothing like Vraxoin's supposed effects, which were fleeting and seemingly not amazing from the sparse information he had so far.

He still suspected it was something to do with Om-Tsor and Vrax being used together that was the key, or at least part of the puzzle as to why it was being used on wizards, or by wizards.

"That's good to hear Harry," Jo smiled at him. "As we were getting ready for the off, one of them, I think the tour leader said something to us, to keep an eye out for this stuff, an alien fungus that they'd heard might've found its way to Earth that some people," she looked to Harry "alien people, you know might come looking for it 'Vrax heads'. Said it looked golden in its dried form, and to be very careful with it, dangerously addictive."

"A kind of brown grim looking fungus fresh," Harry mused.

Jo looked to him surprised. "You know what it looks like? So why chasing around here if you've seen it?"

Harry breathed in. "Saw it while breaking into the bank with Iris, a fortunate discovery."

"Serendipity," Jo smiled. "That's what the Doctor would say."

Harry nodded. "I take opportunities when they come," he paused. "And just knowing what it looks like doesn't help much, it just looks like a grey brown fungus, I don't know where it came from, how it came here, what it's doing here-"

"Or?" Jo interjected.

"Or who is growing it," Harry finished.

"Well Harry, Jo is here to help," she beamed a smile at him. "Being offered the prototaxites stellaviatori got Cliff thinking about alien fungus, not introducing new ones, but ones that had been here. Was a project of his," she paused and smiled to Harry "and mine for a while. Like being back within the UNIT fold for a while, I even asked my uncle if he had any contacts out in the world. Talked to the World Ecology Bureau about it."

Harry smiled without saying anything.

"You know about them?" Jo asked.

"I've encountered them in passing, as part of LPI's work, there's been crossovers here and there," he explained vaguely. "Like how UNIT would sometimes uncover things that was actually the realm of Five or Six."

Jo frowned. "You mean MI5 and MI6," she breathed in quickly. "Didn't know you were within the realms of spies Harry Potter, my uncle worked in those spheres when I was at UNIT."

"We once stopped the destruction of the whole world, just me and a couple of spies from Five and Six," Harry commented idly with a smile.

"And UNIT?" Jo prompted.

"Yes," Harry nodded, continuing in a darker tone. "They were involved."

Jo looked at him. "I think you're involved in a lot of stuff Harry," she shook her head. "Glad to be out of it."

"I...don't know what to say Jo," Harry began.

Jo rubbed her shoulder. "It's alright darling, now where was I?"

"World Ecology Bureau," Harry prompted with a smile.

"Oh, yes, they were started around the same time as UNIT when the Brigadier took charge, guess they moved in similar circles, but we never properly crossed over," Jo began. "At least during my time," she added as an afterthought.

Harry nodded. He didn't know really about them until the Krynoid business, he didn't remember them coming up when he was back with UNIT in the 1970s.

"They kept immense records of anything that had come to Earth and caused ecological trouble, and when I was pregnant with my first baby it was something to keep me busy, can't go chasing plants and stuff when you were the size I was!" She laughed.

Harry chuckled along with her.

"Found out about a few locations that they'd been monitoring that a noticeable amount of alien ecology had been extracted and uncovered, and had been in continuous use. One was really old, that was the most worry to them, because it was so old but people had been visiting and continue to do so; the Tunguska crater."

Harry nodded, that rang a bell, but he wasn't sure why.

"The other I found out was more recent, the World Ecology Bureau was going to send people to investigate but UNIT in America put a stop to it, 2002 in San Francisco."

Harry had to laugh at this one. "I was there, and the Doctor was there, met some unicorns."

Jo looked at him. "When the Doctor used to say things like that I used to wonder if he was joking."

"Spotted horses and all that?" Harry joked.

Jo nodded vigorously. "Cliff and I looked into the Tunguska thing, but getting out there was difficult, lots of forms to fill out, and then we got distracted with another exploration of the Amazon, it's become an almost second home. Lots of fungi there to explore, lots of biomass to explore so Cliff used to say."

"Used to...he's not...?" Harry asked in a worried tone.

Jo shook her head. "No silly, just lots of focus on, like me, and the grandchildren, so much energy, like your friend Luna's children, bouncing balls of energy," she laughed. "I'm sorry that wasn't a lot of information Harry," she looked to him.

"It's another piece of information to put into the pile, I'm sure it'll all make sense sooner or later, I just hope it doesn't involve me getting shot or in a paradox."

Jo looked at him strangely. "Why those two?"

Harry exhaled. "My life, knowing time travellers, you know..."

Jo nodded and took his hand as they walked on back towards Luna and Rolf's tent. "Yes Harry, that is something I do know about! Now, you should tell me about this person you're seeing, Luna alluded to them, but I hope I get to meet them at some point Harry..."

A/N:

When I started to plan 'the drugs chapters' (how I had it in my copious notes) these initial plans were started before the Time War arc, I hadn't quite decided who the antagonist was going to be (I had a few candidates in mind).

I knew I wanted to explore a different side the muggle / magic world. LPI had played in the UNIT / spy space for a while, so wanted to go somewhere else story wise, and bring in some other characters from the Doctor Who universe.

There's also a few threads from previous chapters that I realised (while doing some minor edits here and there) that I could pick up.

The "Spy Master" kinda fell into this perfectly as the perfect antagonist for this sort of thing. It has made me change around how I was going to do this arc, the motivations have changed a little bit, but adapting what I've done so far helps creativity.

But regardless I think it'll make a more interesting journey.

And revealing who it is here is more interesting because you get to know who it is before Harry and the everyone else do.

Also, Harry will still meet Missy, that's still in the works.

However with a bunch of characters who can all time travel, planning and setting up stuff is multi-layered and complicated.

Especially with the Spy Master being around from WWII to the where he encounters the Thirteenth Doctor again (which where the story is at the moment is still the 'future'). Means I've needed to plot out some of what he's done, and how it affects the upcoming arc before I've even properly planned the chapters where those affects happen.

This chapter also follows up the events of Visited by a Doctor - The Missing Shalka Adventures my recently posted story which sits in between chapter 52 and 53 of Visited by a Doctor and shows what happened during Harry and Draco's brief time with the Shalka Doctor.
