Chapter 3: And Now Begins Anew

A/N: Thank you to all the reviewers, WhiteElfElder and Jostanos as always thanks for the feed back. And as to Elder's question there will be a little bit of that in the beginning but it has been shown in Doctor Who cannon that Time Lords are a gender fluid race so Harrison will adapt quickly to the memories he has as Susan.

Sorry for the wait on an update and making it short, life has been crazy as I am now managing a salon, which was unexpected but definitely welcome. it has changed things but I hope to be getting one update a month out and hopefully making them long chapters. I am using The Day of the Doctor as my jumping off paint but I need help in deciding if I should have Harry go with Tenant or Smith at the end, there is a poll up on my profile

The remnant of the Light stood in shock looking at their savior. It had all ended so suddenly. All that fighting and death and now it was finally over. Finally the tension broke as Harrison stood and lunged over to the Weasley family and Hermione huddled together over Fred's cold corpse.

Mrs. Weasley quickly encompassed Harrison in her arms, holding him as though he would disappear.

"I'm so, so sorry Mrs. Weasley" Harry whispered in a broken voice. Noticing absently that his voice was slightly more sultry with something of an almost American lilt to it. Well that would be interesting to try and explain.

Mrs. Weasley gave a large sniffle an hugged him all the tighter, "oh Hush now it isn't your fault dear."

Harry silently nodded. They all stayed there mourning till nearly mid day. The aftermath of a war was always messy. Though Harry supposed he was used to that. The Time War had been so much larger but the pain would always be the same.

"Can you tell me what happened Harry." Hermione asked as they walked down to the kitchens, both to collect some food, and to give the Weasleys a moment alone without them hovering. They needed time as a family.

Harry sighed but nodded and motioned to an alcove. The buzz of regeneration had faded and Harrison was feeling much more stable in his new form and with his memories restored. He waived the elder wand and erected a privacy ward and a perception filter. "The legend of the three brothers holds something of a grain of truth." Harry said holding Hermione's hand, gaining her full attention. "What do you know of aliens?"

Hermione seemed to get mental whiplash from the out of the blue question. "W-well I know there where a few incidents in the seventies that muggles attribute to aliens and that Wizards think was part of Voldemort's reign of terror." She answered after a moment.

Harry nodded, "Yes those where all connected to One alien in particular who has made it his life mission, it would seem of protecting the Earth." Harry said with an exasperated fondness. "The Peverell brothers, my ancestors, Encountered on their journeys an alien known as a Time Lord. They are a pseudo immortal race in that they live extraordinarily long life spans and similar to the Phoenix regenerate at the end of each life span up to, usually, eleven times. Though some have been known to have more. But I digress. My ancestors met one of these aliens and she gifted them with the three items." Harry held up his hand which had the ring and his wand and tapped the cloak still around his shoulders, "and they all had their purpose, the wand a strong amplifier of magic, the cloak woven with nano technology from her home world that would hide someone from any energy spectrum detector and the stone pulled together the psychic remnant of an individuals consciousness from the psionic field surrounding earth. But she also imbedded within each item when held by someone with a specific genetic marker, the entire genetic makeup of the woman and her memories of over four lifetimes as a Time lord."

Hermione gasped in shock, "Harry are you saying.."

Harry nodded, "There is more to it, my Mother was infertile but my parents never knew. There was a war that spanned half the universe and all of time and the Time Lords and another race where right at the center of it. Near the end this Time Lady was caught in an explosion and was going to regenerate but stopped the change just short of changing shape like I did. She did this by siphoning the energy off and locked it away into technology developed by a Sisterhood who had for a lack of better words had turned their regenerations into an art form, a science and a magical discipline. She used that device to impregnate a descendant of the brothers, who through her time traveling she knew, would give birth to one who would unite all three of the Hallows which would then be able to awaken the Time Lord. She knew that she would die in the Time war but decided to preserve a piece of herself far outside the influence of the war so that when the time was right, she would come back." Harry laughed mildly to himself, "I just didn't realize I'd be coming back with…shall we say different equipment."

Hermione gaped at him. "I-Harry this is all so much."

Harry nodded, "Trust me I know. Im still kind of in shock myself."

Hermione nodded, "Well Harry…is that even your name?"

"Harrison, Harold, Humphrey…Susan was the name I took before."

"Well Harry alien or no I will always be our friend."

Harry smiled "I knew I could always count on you Hermione."

She smiled with watery eyes, "we have lost too much of late to be going about throwing away friends over little things like different species hmm?"

Harrison nodded and held out a hand to his best friend and they exited the alcove. They spent the next few days rebuilding what they could of the school, collected the dead and had a war memorial service and generally began the work of moving forward as a society.

Nearly all the Death Eaters had perished along with their foul lord. Narcissa and Draco Malfoy had been among those spared by magic herself and no one was willing to go against magic and so left them be for the most part, though Draco would not be allowed to take his family seat on the Wizengamot.

Many believed that Harry had gone through some magical inheritance and unlocked some of his latent Black Blood. Harrison wasn't about to dissuade them from that notion. Ron and Hermione knew the truth, and Luna, who was a time sensitive and could sense the truth of the change right away.

For months Harrison sat in Grimmauld Place, brooding away on what to do next. He couldn't simply sit still on Earth. That would be ever so boring. He considered going to UNIT, but if the

Brig wasn't in charge he didn't want to risk becoming a lab experiment. Much too messy. It wasn't until nearly September that the answer landed in his lap. Literally.

Rain poured down outside and Harry sat at the desk of the master study writing down everything he might need or be able to use to create a functional TARDIS out of magical and mundane equipment until he could procure a proper one. He would have to break into the Department of Mysteries and snoop around in their time room but it would be doable.

He was thinking of calling Ron and Hermione on the Floo when it happened. A gold swirling mass of energy like a funnel opened up and Harry heard voices coming from it.

"oh of course" he heard a voice say, a very proper English voice, "this is where I come in"

Harry could almost hear the smirk and excitement as there was a shout of "Geronimo!"

A startled female voice shouted "Doctor!"

Harry couldn't help but laugh, that voice sounded rather young, is grandfather having a midlife crisis?

Harry expected someone to fall into his study but when no one did he raised an eyebrow and continued to listen. That same English voice was criticizing someone now. Well really himself it sounded like. Oh dear, one of those headache enducing adventures then.

Oh deer they are comparing sonics, well my wand is better any way. Harry laughed again at sand shoes and Chiny. Oh he went Scottish did he?

And he's kissed a Zygon dear me what has the world come to.

Oo the companion calls. She sounds witty. The Brig has descendants. Well maybe I should introduce myself then. And she caught on to the nature of the event good.

He was about to get up and walked over to the portal about to jump through. "Not yet" a voice whispered behind his ear. He whipped around and found a blond in a leather bomber jacket behind him with glowing gold eyes.

"and you would be?"

"the Moment has not come." She said "Not yet"

Oh dear now they sounded mad. That old gravely voice why did it sound so familiar. Right War Doctor.

Ooh angry soldiers. Witchcraft here I go.

"Hello am I talking to the Witch of the Well?" The English Doctor called

"Yes you are my dear Doctor!" Harry couldn't help but smirk as he summoned the Elder Wand to his hand and got his battle cloak ready.

There was a stunned pause as he heard Clara and Kate say, "Who was that?"

The apparently most recent Doctor ignored them, "ehem Right yes, Tell these prattling mortals to get themselves begone"

"I'll do you one better Grandfather," Harry yelled excited as he dove headfirst into the vortex.

He vaguely heard Clara and Kate both exclaim at Grandfather. Before he found himself tumbling out into a clearing surrounded by men in armor with pikes pointed at them. A short old man in a worn leather jacket and two younger men in suites better left to college professors stared at him in shock.

"Well, I'll say, it is wonderful to see your faces after so very long."

"Doctor," Clara called through, "What is going on?"

"Well its all a bit… Time-y whime-y" he said flapping his arms about like a madman

Harry just raised an eyebrow at the war Doctor as he went to stand next to him.

"Are you incapable of speaking without sounding like a toddler?" The War Doctor called.

Harry snorted, "Even when you where the old man you threw tantrums, remember the Aztecs?"

"Who are you?" The Scott asked with a harsh glare.

"Like the new face Grandfather? I see you have had a few since we last met?" Harry placed a hand on the War Doctor's shoulder.

"Susan?" He said with a croak in his voice

The other two whipped around immediately and stared in shock.
