The doctor was clearly having too much fun. This was his element, landing somewhere that I had certainly thought didn't exist. How could they exist, books come to life? I had just gotten used to the idea that there were aliens out there. Not to mention that there was a species that could travel in time in space. Now I find out that parallel dimensions existed as well and that in one of them, the events from the Harry Potter series actually took place and would take place. My world was getting stranger all the time.

At least the doctor was having fun. No doubt he was enjoying the stunned looks on everybody's faces. Not to mention being the only one in the room who knew remotely anything about what was going on or how we were thrust into the middle of a storybook world.

I realized that I had tuned out the doctor's explanation, his and our stories really. Tuning back in I was just in time to hear him say, "Well, I could very well cease to exist or I could go mad. There is also the little fact that the universes could blow up."

I was stunned once again. What could happen! I didn't realize that I had spoken out loud until he said, "The universe could blow up. It really is a wonder it hasn't before, considering how many times I have had to go and rescue myself in the past."

"You've done this before?" asked McGonagall shocked.

"Well not exactly. First time I have followed myself to another dimension."

"What. That's impossible! What you are saying is utterly ridiculous. Time-turners are the only things that exist that can take someone back in time and even they can't take someone to another dimension. There isn't anything that can." said Hermione.

"You are correct." Hermione looked smug, then the doctor continued, "And yet you are wrong."

"What!" Hermione spluttered.

"Time Lord remember. Lord of time. That's me, the lord of time. We are able to move through time as easily as your appitition."

"I believe its called apparition Doctor." I spoke up.

"Yes well, my point stands. It is easy for me to be able to travel in time. Have been for more than two thousand years now. I should think I know what I am talking about. It is not so easy to travel to another dimension, but it is possible and I have done so in the past."

"If you need to stop someone from kidnapping your younger self, and you have a time machine then why don't you go back and save yourself from getting taken?" asked Harry.

"Ah good. Someone is on point." The doctor said, ignoring Hermione exclaiming about how Harry couldn't really believe that hogwash.

"Why would someone make a story like that up Hermione." Harry asked.

"It could be a trap by an escaped death eater for one. " said Hermione as if it was obvious.

"Oh yeah." Harry acknowledged sheepishly.

The doctor continued on, "It could be a trap, but it isn't by me. It is unlikely that I would have myself kidnapped, just to catch a boy who was just a book character to me before now. As to your earlier question, I could go back to the past to stop myself getting taken, however that would definitely trigger a paradox resulting in the nasty destruction of universes that I mentioned earlier."

"I thought you said it wasn't like a time-turner!?" said Hermione loudly.

"What! I never said that. Did I? No. It is a little like a time-turner in that you should never cross your time stream and interact with yourself as that could be dangerous and in that you can't change what has happened in your own past at least to a point. In this case if I stop myself from getting brought to this world then I would never have known to stop someone from trying to take me from my timeline and so they would be able to kidnap me which is a paradox.

I can only cross my timeline when it is more dangerous to leave things the way they ended up. This is one of those cases. What I do, I do carefully."

I snorted. "Yeah, careful. That's you doctor."

He glared at me. "Yes, if we are done debating the validity of our story, can we move on to the planning part."

"Yes well Doctor, you still haven't told us why you are at Hogwarts. You told us how you got to our dimension, but not why you are at Hogwarts. Are those you are looking for here somewhere?" McGonagall asked.

"No, of course not. This was no conscious choice of mine." He paused and seemed to think a moment before he seemed to come to a conclusion and as he did, his face took on a sour look.

"Doctor, what is the matter?" I asked slowly approaching him.

"It was clearly that meddling old girl?" The doctor said pouting a bit.

"Who doctor, I said clearly confused. Who was he talking about?

"Don't you see Clara. The Tardis! The Tardis brought us here to Hogwarts." He said clearly upset about it.

"Well, that is good, isn't it Doctor? It means she thinks we can find help here." I said hesitantly.

"That's just it! She thinks I need help."

"Doctor." I sighed exasperated. "Sometimes even you need help."

"Maybe. That doesn't mean I have to like it." He frowned.

I couldn't help it. I burst out laughing. The doctor turned his glare onto me.

A minute or two passed before I stopped and said, "Well Doctor, maybe we can start describing who that women was in your vision."

He still didn't look happy, but he complied.

Everyone around us obviously recognized the description, and they did not look happy about it. I had a feeling I wouldn't like it when they revealed who it was. Sure enough. I wasn't. Far from it.
