Hermione laughed at Harry’s comment, “Yeah, but not until we’ve had breakfast,” she told him. Harry shifted down a bit so there was room for the couple to sit beside him. They continued to ignore the commotion their presence had generated. Hermione turned to Harry, “This is my oldest friend and now my…husband…he’s known as ‘The Doctor’.” Harry’s eyebrows quirked again at the unusual name, but kept his peace, he’d hear everything soon enough.
Once breakfast was finished, Hermione led Harry to the deserted corridor and apparated them to the cavern. Harry was flabbergasted at this feat, “How?” he stammered. She just grinned at him, “Brace yourself for a lot of shocks, Harry,” then she sobered, “Believe me, everything we about to tell you is the truth.”
Harry stared at her for a long moment, “Cor, Hermione, what have you gotten into?” Instead of Hermione answering, the Doctor stepped in, “Actually, Harry, this concerns all of us, but most especially you…” Harry’s eyes widened, but he remained silent, pondering their words and actions so far; impressing his friend with his newfound maturity.
Just then, the Spirit of Hogwarts appeared, “Harry Potter, we finally meet.” The ‘Boy-Who-Lived’ nearly fell over in shock, “Wha…Who…?” The apparition smiled at him, “Do not be afraid Harry Potter, I am the Spirit of Hogwarts and I will not harm you.”
Feeling overwhelmed, Harry goggled at them for a moment before sitting down hard on the ground; before he landed, a chair appeared under him, causing an ‘omph’ to be grunted out. Two more chairs appeared and the Doctor and Hermione seated themselves much more gracefully than Potter had. He glared at Hermione who just smiled sweetly back at him.
A ghostly chuckle sounded, “You do well to keep a sense of humor in these dark times, Harry Potter.” The boy grimaced and held up a hand, “Please, it’s just Harry. I’m not sure I can take being called ‘Harry Potter’ every time someone talks to me.” The Spirit regarded him for a moment, “Very well…Harry.” His mouth jerked in a semblance of a smile, “Thanks…I think.”
Hermione looked over at Harry, “There’s a lot to cover, so I’ll just hit the high points for now and we can fill in the details over the next few days.” Harry gulped, but nodded – Hermione was his sister in all but blood and he trusted her. “Ah…sure…ok…go on then.” Hermione sighed and the Doctor reached for her hand, “Do you want me to start, love?” She looked at him gratefully.
The Doctor turned to Harry and began their tale. “I am a Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey – it’s located close to the other end of the universe. My people are now extinct as our planet was destroyed during the Time War. Your friend, Hermione, is a descendent of another Time Lord, and she inherited the right combination of genes to transform into a full Time Lord. She did this last night with my help. After her transformation was complete, we bonded – we are soul mates. You with me so far, Harry?”
Harry’s mind was racing, trying to absorb all the information, and some of Hermione’s past actions now started to make sense. He bobbed his head, “Yeah,” a closer look at his friend and her husband sent a chill through him, “There’s more isn’t there?”
Hermione and the Doctor exchanged a look before Hermione took up the narrative, “Yeah Harry, there is…a lot more. I asked the Doctor to investigate Voldemort and he uncovered some very disturbing facts. Voldemort’s real name is Tom Riddle Jr., and he has found some really dark spells. One of them is to create ‘containers’ in which to store pieces of his soul so he can be resurrected if he’s ever killed. They’re known as Horcruxes and we’ve verified he’s made seven of them…” Hermione swallowed hard and looked away, tears in her eyes.
Harry stared at her and then the Doctor; “What aren’t you telling me?” he demanded. The Time Lord looked old for a moment and he sighed, “There’s no easy way to tell you this. When Voldemort attempted to kill you when you were a baby, he accidently turned you into a Horcrux.” Harry was dumbfounded, he wasn’t sure what to believe until Hermione wailed, “Oh, Harry,” and rushed to embrace him. The teenager awkwardly patted his friend on the back, “It’s ok sis, we’ll find a way…I know you too well that you’d let a little thing like a…a Horcrux stand in your way.” Hermione sniffed loudly and wiped away her tears, “Ok,” she hiccupped.
The Doctor leaned over and gently pulled her back onto his lap, stroking her hair, “Shh, pet. Harry’s right, we’ll find a way.” He pressed a kiss to her forehead as she clung to him. Harry couldn’t help but smile at the sight of his sister being held by the man she loved.
He reflected back over what the Time Lords had told him – he didn’t deny he was scared, he had a gaping cold pit in his stomach that proved otherwise. The news felt right, and it brought to mind the question of the Headmaster and his role in everything. Harry cleared his throat nervously, “Dumbledore…” he trailed off as Hermione laughed bitterly, “…won’t be of any help,” she told him, “we spoke to him last night and he denied everything. He claims Tom Riddle is not Voldemort and that Horcruxes don’t exist.”
Harry was shocked, “but what about everything he’s told me about Voldemort and how he’s convinced he’ll return? Hell, we’ve faced off against him in one form or another every year we’ve been here!” He was starting to get angry, “What about all those dreams…visions…whatever? He believed they were from Voldemort?”
Hermione climbed off the Doctors lap and approached Harry carefully, “Harry…calm down…please. I’m so sorry…but there’s more.” Harry broke off his rant, and gaped at his best friend. “Sorry,” he muttered ashamed of his outburst. Hermione smiled at him, “It’s ok…it’s a lot to take in.”
The Doctor stood and wrapped his arms around Hermione, “Let me finish off, love.” Hermione squeezed his arms and nodded. The older man took up the story, “When we arrived back at the TARDIS – my…our…Time Machine – we had an invitation from the Spirit of Hogwarts to come down here. She confirmed the details we knew of Voldemort and the Horcruxes,” he looked over at the young boy, “She also told us that Dumbledore has turned away from the light. He wishes to overthrow the Ministry, destroy Voldemort and rule the Wizarding World, and I believe that he believes that he can accomplish this by sacrificing you up to dark lord.”
Harry was extremely pale by this point, but he heard the truth in the Doctor’s words which only confirmed the suspicions he was reluctant to admit he had. He nodded shakily, “I knew something wasn’t right…but this…this just seems over the top…even for Dumbledore.”
The whole time the humans had been talking, the Spirit had faded away to tend to other business. She had returned in time to hear Harry’s last comment and floated over to him, “Harry, the Doctor is correct. Being what I am…I am tied to each Headmaster or Headmistress and can read their intentions. Dumbledore is no longer the wizard he was.”
The Boy-Who-Lived let out gust of air, “Fuck…ok, what’s our next step?”
