Chapter 9

A/N I don't own anything that you recognize. Special thanks DarkWindingMagic, Valjean Lestrange, and The Twenty-fifth Doctor for following and or favoriting and or reviewing. Thanks everyone. :)

Of course. Why hadn't I thought of it before. I had read the series before just as Clara had. I had even met good ol' JK at several points in time and talked to her in depth about the series, after the final book came out. I should have known as soon I saw her in the vision that it was Bellatrix Lestrange. Of course, I didn't know that I had been taken to an alternate dimension yet either so... But still.

If the real Bellatrix was anything like she was in the book then I was in a most frustrating situation. Then there was the rogue unstable element that was Missy. The master had always been unstable. Ever since looking into the Medusa Cascade at least. Who knows what she would do. Even I did not know. I did know one thing for certain though. These wizards would have no chance. We needed to get me away from them.

"Well." I said as they looked towards me."Do you know where she is or not?" I said."We need to find out where they have me and get me away from there. The sooner I am gotten away, the less of an impact it will make in the space time continuum. Hopefully, they haven't irrevocably damaged it already. Though I think not. I have been in a situation like this before." I said lost in my thoughts a bit.

"You have been kidnapped and taken to an alternate dimension before where Harry Potter characters are real Doctor?" Clara asked me.

"No of course not Clara. Though I and my younger selves were kidnapped and put into the Death Zone on Gallifrey once." I said in a matter of fact voice.

"Death Zone!" several voices yelled out at once.

"Yes. Death Zone. My people were not always as kind and cuddly as they are now and that is saying something." I paused for a moment. "No. I take that back. Last time I saw my people Rassilon was once again at the helm. They could be exactly as nice as the ones who built the Death Zone I should think. Yes. Well, anyway. We must get me away from those two mad ones. Now to figure out where they would be."

I looked around at the faces before me. They all had that look about them. A look I had seen lots of times before. Most notably in my war and Ninth incarnations when I looked in the mirror. The look of someone who is exhausted from war. They rallied before my eyes though as they thought.

"Well..." finally spoke up Mr. Potter "The last time we saw her, she was in Malfoy Manor." He said this rather reluctantly as if he would rather not be talking about it.

Miss Granger shivered at that. Ron pulled her closer and held her there. He glared at me. I was not affected. I had seen much worse glares in my lifetime.

"Hermione. What's the matter?" Clara asked. Looking like she wanted to approach but didn't dare to. She was clearly concerned.

"Think Clara." I said to her as I turned to face her. "You've read the books. When in the seventh book did they encounter Bellatrix Lestrange. Remember what happened there."

"What do you mean Doctor...Oh." She stopped suddenly as she clearly remembered. "Oops. Sorry." She said to the trio.

Harry nodded towards her. "It's okay. We just would rather not think or talk about it."

"That is understandable." Clara said with a sappy look on her way. "That's okay. Isn't Doctor." She said pointedly towards me.

"Clara." I said warningly. I sighed, "As much as I would love I need to make sure what happened in the books happened here." I said. "It will make it easier to pinpoint when Missy showed up and might pin down their location and my location."

"Will this tell you all you need to know." Miss Granger struggled to free herself from Mr. Weasley. "Let me go Ron. I want to no I need to show them."

"Are you sure Mione?" Mr. Weasley asked concerned.

"I'm sure. I have to get used to it anyway."

Mr. Weasley nodded reluctantly and let her go. She turned towards us and rolled up her tattered sleeve. She showed us what on her arm. "Was this in your story? Does it tell you tell what happened?"

I nodded. I did verify at least most of what we read. "You didn't see anyone that looked like a Victorian nanny while you were there did you?" I asked just to be sure.

They shook their heads in the negative. "No mention of another crazy woman or a Missy or Mistress."

Mr. Weasley snorted. "What?" he said when I looked at him. "Mistress? She's calls herself Mistress?" He said breaking out into laughter.

"Yes." I said. "On my planet choose what we go by. I chose the Doctor. She chose the Master and now she goes by The Mistress or Missy."

"Why did she change her name?" Miss Granger asked.

"Well it's simple." I said. "She regenerated from a man into a woman. So, she changed her name to suit her face. Some Time Lords do that."

"Now about their whereabouts?" I asked.

After taking a moment, Mr. Potter snapped his mouth shut and answered my questions, "Last we heard she was confined to the manor due to letting us escape."

"The Malfoys were at the final battle though and they were confined to the manor as well." Miss Granger cut across him.

"If they were there then why wouldn't Bellatrix be there as well?" Clara asked.

Everyone shrugged.

"That is not the question Clara." I said.

"Then what is Doctor?" Clara asked me confused.

"The question is what kept her so busy as to miss the most important battle in all the Harry Potter books? What kept her from coming to the aid of her Lord when he no doubt called her?"

No one had an answer to that.

A/N This unbetaed. Thanks for reading. :)
