Chapter 15

The Body ran through the Tardis. He came back holding a necklace with a small pendant shaped crystal, and appearing proud of himself.

Hermione asked, "What is that?"

The Body smiled one of the Doctor's infamous smiles, "That Hermione Granger is a Warp Star."

Hermione asked, "What is a Warp Star?"

The Body gave a chuckle, "It was given to me by a Verron soothsayer. He said, "This is for the end of days." And today, Hermione Granger, is the end of Slughorn's days."

Hermione said, "But what does it do?"

The Body stared at at Hermione with a look of almost a look of pure insanity she hadn't seen since her encounter with Bellatrix, "A warpforcational trapped in a carbonite shell. It's a explosion Hermione." He smiled, "A explosion waiting to happen."

Hermione asked, almost afraid of the answer, "What are you going to do with that?"

The Body just smiled in response.

The Doctor sniffed. Judging from the smell, and knowledge of Slitheen cooking ability, that he was nearing the kitchen.

The Doctor walked up to the Slitheen standing guard, not even looking at him as he stuck his psychic paper in his face, "Health Inspector, just need to pop in for a tick."

The guard stuttered, "But isn't this where we keep the prisoner?"

The Doctor smiled at him, "Of course it is. And its also where we cook the meals. Cutbacks and all. You understand. We're all making sacrifises."

The guard nodded as The Doctor walked on by, chuckling at the guards stupidity.

When The Doctor entered the room, he saw Harry laying on a table. He wasn't even strapped down.

The Doctor said, "What kinda of rubbish brig is this. No restraints? Guards with single digit intelligence. Why can't all bad guys be like this?"

Harry stirred awake

The Doctor ran to him, "Are you alright?"

Harry opened his eyes and stared at the Doctor, "Your Hermione's friend. Doctor…?"

"Doctor will do just fine."

"Where am I?"

"Well….. you're a currently in the kitchen of the Slitheens."

"The what?"

"The creatures that attacked your school."

Harry seemed to remember what happened, "Malfoy I'll bloody kill him."

The Doctor said, "There is no need of that. He is already dead."

Harry stared at him, "What?"

The Doctor said, "Died by his own hand. He made his choice."

Harry said, "Is Ginny ok?"

The Doctor frowned, "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."

Harry blinked back tears. He had lost another love one. And after a full year of peace, Harry decided he was cursed. Everyone he loved dies.

Harry managed to say, "Oh god. This will kill Ron."

The Doctor just frowned and didn't respond.

After a minute of grieving, Harry managed to ask, "Where is Hermione?"

The Doctor looked away, blinking back his own tears, "She's gone."

Harry asked, "How?"

The Doctor said one word with so much steel in his voice, Harry flinched, "Slughorn"

Harry swung his legs over the table to stand up, but he stumbled onto the floor. When he picked himself up, he said, "We have to stop him."

The Doctor put a hand on Harry's shoulder, "No you can barly stand."

"But he needs to be stopped."

"He will be."

"How?"

The Doctor looked at Harry with a look of upmost rage, "Because Slughorn has no idea of the Hell about the rain down apon him."

Harry said, "But I can help."

The Doctor said, "Not in that state. Apparate away. The surviors will need your help more then me."

Harry said, "But I'll need my wand to apparate."

The Doctor said, "Check your jacket pocket."

Harry checked his pocket, "But why wouldn't they disarm me? I could escape with little effort."

The Doctor almost smiled, "Slitheen. Not the brightest race in the cosmos."

Harry protested, "But you can't do this alone. There are too many of them, its suicide."

The Doctor looked at him, "I know"

Then Harry apparted away.

Slughorn was laughing. Not only had he captured that Potter kid for his employer, but he also captured The Last of the Time Lords. That was bound to bring in a shinny penny.

Slughorn yelled, "Pilot"

Four Sltheen answered, "Yes sir?"

Slughorn rolled his eyes, "Of the ship"

One Slitheen answered, "Yes sir?"

Slughorn said, "I tire of this primitive planet. Take us back to civilization. We have a meeting with the employer in a couple days. Better not be late."

The pilot steered the ship to the nearest star cluster. Ten minutes later he turned back around this time going in the right direction.

Yes, Slughorn thought, Today was starting to look up.

As Slughorn was enjoying his victory, somebody came up to him holding a tray with a goblet on it.

The person said, "Victory Wine?"

Slughorn not able to see the person due to his new lack of eyesight, grabbed the drink and drained it.

Then in pain Slughorn grabbed his throat and started to choke. He had drunk vinegar.

Slughorn roared, "Doctor!"

The Doctor smiled, "Is there a problem with your drink? Oh that's right, you have a thing with vinegar."

Slughorn was foaming at the mouth.

The Doctor kneeled down to him, "The reason your not dead yet is I just put a tiny bit of vinegar in your drink. It'll still drop you dead in no time flat, but this way you get to suffer."

As guards grabbed The Doctor's arms and pulled him away from there leader, The Doctor said, "I warned you. You could have stopped this."

Slughorn managed to say, "My men will kill you!"

The Doctor said, "I know. But you first."

At that moment The Doctor heard a sound he never thought he would hear again. It was the sound of the universe. The sound of his beloved Tardis.

The doors of The Tardis opened, and a man in a leather jacket, who resembling the Doctor, ran out carrying a gun like device.

The Doctor yelled, "No don't!"

A Slitheen guard aimed his braclet at the running man and fired a laser. The man screamed out in pain and fell to the ground, dropping his gun.

The guard leaned down next to the Doctor and said, "He looks like you."

The Doctor said, "Human bio-metrical Meta-Crisis"

The guard nodded as if he understood any of those words.

At that moment Hermione ran out of the Tardis and grabbed the gun. Before she could do anything, the same Slitheen shot her with his laser, sending her flying into the air, hitting a wall.

The Doctor shouted, "Hermione! Are alright Hermione!"

Slughorn still nearing death, croaked, "Destroy the weapon."

The guard shot the gun with the laser.

Slughorn managed to chuckle, "What luck Doctor. I get the execute you twice before I die."

The Slitheen guards moved The Doctor and The Body onto a placement on the floor.

Slughorn said, "Before I die Doctors. I will enjoy the sight of you both being blown to bits."

He pressed the button and The Doctor could hear the Ship's laser powering up. Right as the Ship was about to rearrange The Doctor's atoms, the sound of the Ship's power failing sounded throught the room.

Hermione stood up with a grin and said, "And closing all relaying loops, using a internalize back refeasable loop." She pressed a button then said, matter-of-factly, "That button there."

The Doctor said, "Hermione, your species in your time can barley change a plug."

Hermione grinned, "Do you want to bet."

The Body grinned.

Slughorn croaked, "You will suffer for this."

Hermoine frowned and pulled a lever. The braclets on all of the Slitheen fried.

Hermione said, "Oh bio-electric damping field with a dreel converstion."

Slughorn yelled, "Maul her you idots."

Before the Slitheen could react, Hermione raised one hand. In the hand was a necklace connected by some wiring.

Hermione pressed a button and her voice boomed throught the ship, "Calling on Slitheen boys and girls! Are you receiving? Don't send in your goons or I'll set this off."

The Doctor thought, "Oh my god she's still alive. And she is brilliant."

Hermione continued, "I've got a Warp Star wired into the ship's mainframe. I break this shell, the entire ship goes up."

The Doctor said, "How did you work that out? Your…."

The Body said with a smile, "Part Time Lord. Part Human"

Hermione finished, "Part Karia Knight. Oh Yes. That was a two way Bio-Metrical Meta-Crisis. It just stayed dormant in my head. Until that Slitheen's laser kicked it into life. Thank you Mr. Slitheen."

The Body laughed at her brilliance.

The Doctor yelled, "But you can't ! That's murder!"

Hermione hesitated hearing the Doctor's objeciton.

The Body seeing the hesitaiton, led the Doctor toward Hermione, snatched the Warp Star from her.

He yelled, "Thank you for the hospitality Slughorn but we'll see ourselfs out."

He nodded to Hermione, who grabbed both his hands and The Doctors, then twisted her body into apparation. As this happened The Body laughed and threw The Warp Star into the air, and it fell as they apparated.

The Doctor groaned in the pain of apparation. The Body ran toward the Tardis consol, sending the Tardis into space, and watching the explosion. As he saw the thousands of Slitheen burn, he breathed in the feeling of there death and realished in it.

The Doctor yelled, "Do you know what you've done?"

The Body smiled, "I did what I knew couldn't."

The Doctor yelled, "You destroyed the Slitheen. You commited genocide. Your too dangerous to be left on your own."

The Body said in a stern tone, "You made me."

The Doctor said, "Exactly. You were born in battle. Full of blood and anger and revenge."

The Doctor realised, "Just like me after the Time War."

Hermione looked at the Body with a look of betrayal, "You said we were going to save The Doctor, not kill everyone on the ship."

She looked back at the Doctor, tearfull, "I'm sorry Doctor I didn't know."

The Doctor hugged her, "It's alright. You were briliant by the way."

The Body not looking up, went back to working the Tardis controls. He sent the Tardis down back on the Hogwarts Grounds.

He looked up at the hugging couple, when he saw Malfoy's wand laying on the Tardis consol. He thought to himself, If I have Hermione voice, do I have her power?"

Hermione looked over the Doctor's shoulder at The Body. She saw him eyeing the wand. Then The Body licked his lips nervously, like a snake. This action triggered a memory. In her fourth year, the Defense of The Dark Arts Teacher was actually a Death Eater in disguise. He also licked his tounge in that fashion. Now that she thought about it, that maniac looked just like The Doctor.

As she figured this out, she said, "Barty Crouch Jr?"

The Body looked up at her like a predator and grabbed the wand and pointed it at her shouted, "Petrificus Totalus" And Hermione was frozen.

The Doctor turned toward the Body with a look of horror, as the Body pointed the wand at him shouting, "Crucio" The Doctor was thrown back to the floor. He was twisting in pain.

The Body said, "Sorry Doctor. It's in my nature. You see, I can see the Time War in my head. Bloodshed on an unimaginable scale. But I haven't lived it. I also see her Wizarding War. The closest thing the planet has seen end remotely like The Time War. And I want to live it."

He kneeled down and plucked the ancient Galifrey resurrection book from the Doctor's jacket pocket. Then he ran into a Tardis room and came back carrying a Time Bracelet that the Doctor took from a rouge Time Agent.

The Doctor was in pain. So much pain he couldn't think. All of his cells were on fire. He looked to see The Body rummaging through the Tardis.

He shouted, "Don't"

The Body looked at The Doctor and smiled, "Oh and by the way, how do you like the leather. I like it. Never should have gone pinstripe."

He waved to the Doctor and said, "Now I bid you adue." And he blew a kiss to Hermione. And then he was gone. Outside the Tardis.

The Doctor opened his eyes and stared at Hermione's frighetned eyes. He then looked at the Tardis open doors. He shouted, "No!" And he stumbled out of the Tardis. Right after The Body.

Harry had just apparated back to the Hogwarts grounds. He watched as his beloved school burned. Tears rolled down his face. He had seen the Ship's exlplosion from Hogsemead and had a need to come here.

He thought to himself, he had lost Ginny. The women he loved. He couldn't stand it. He had to say goodbye. So he pulled out his wand and said, "Accio Ressurection Stone."

The Deathly Hallow he had dropped in the Forest a year ago today, flew into his hands. He was going to get to say goodbye to her.

As he was about to turn the stone over, he heard a rustle from the Forest and put the stone into his pocket, and pointed his wand at the noise.

He was about the say a curse, when he saw it was the Doctor in a leather jacket.

Harry said, "Doctor you made it. I saw the explosion. How did you make it?"

The Doctor stared at him like a predator. He licked his lips like a snake and said, "Mr. Potter."

Harry was going to question him, when The Doctor pulled out a wand and shouted, "Avada Kadavra"

Harry saw a shade of green light he knew all too well. And then he knew no more.
