ten_fwd | From Malfoy Manor To Outer Space? (OTA, TW for torture and its effects)

At that moment in Ten Forward a young woman was winked into a world very different from the world she knew as a witch.

Her jeans were badly frayed, her sweater badly damaged and hanging onto a much too thin frame. Her hair was badly tangled and she was covered in cuts and bruises. She also looks like she's not slept in ages among other problems. Anyone could see something had happened before Q winkled her aboard the Enterprise but how bad was it?

But a couple of things would stand out despite the darkness: the wand currently tucked behind a few loose strands of blonde hair and especially the jewelry. Mostly since not many people would openly wear what looked to be a pair of radishes as earrings.

But when Luna Lovegood realized she was not in Malfoy Manor or even the Wizarding World her eyes seemed to regain some of that lost light. "So curious! Maybe there are crumple horned snorkacks or even moon frogs here!" she weakly giggled. But she kept a very wary eye on the scene around her, a Death Eater could be lurking around any corner ready to hurt her once again (she was skittish but with very good reason). Thankfully she knew her wand was within reach but her wrist was also killing her pain wise.

She did eventually whisper,"Harry? Ron? Hermione? Anyone here?"

"Second person to mention unknown reasons so this officially rules out a backfired apparition spell." Luna had briefly slid into a classic Ravenclaw moment. "Wrist hurts, think I landed funny." not speaking the whole story of what had happened before being found in the manor.

The Doctor chuckles softly. "No magic from your world brought you here. Whatever it was, it was a powerful."

At the mention of her wrist, the Doctor slowly reaches into his pocket for his Sonic. "I've got a device that can scan you and might tell me what's going on. May I?"

"Powerful enough to throw off what is usually a routine spell or even a time turner." Luna observed. But she did nod that it was ok for The Doctor to give her hand a once over. She simply put her non wand hand atop the table for the moment.

"Powerful enough to allow my timeship to be here twice without ripping a hole in reality."

He pulled out his sonic and scanned her hand. The injury didn't seem serious, but it was still more than the screwdriver was capable of healing.

"Might be best to get you to the medbay. They should be able to heal that fairly quickly for you."

Or maybe not. If he had his ship, he knows he'd be able to, he just doesn't know if human technology is that advanced here or not. Looks could be deceiving.

"I'm the Doctor, by the way."

Luna's curious side took over,"Is your ship like a time turner?" as she watched the Doctor's little tool scan her hand. She was a bit nervous at the idea of seeing a muggle healer but then things could not get much weird,"I'm Luna."

"Nothing like it at all."

He might get a far-off look to his features when he talks about his TARDIS. "All of time and space - every moment that ever was or ever will be - at my fingertips. And well, she's a ship, not a necklace."

When Luna introduces herself, the Doctor slips a little. "Yes, I... I mean, good to meet you."

Because he doesn't really want to explain how he knows her. Though, he's pretty good at lying. He's sure he could come up with something. He'd just rather not.

"Likewise Doctor." since in spite of her emotions Luna was still very much a lady. "But a time traveling ship, now that is something I've never heard of until now." her Ravenclaw side dancing with sheer glee since it had been so long since she was able to simply learn or even be around people outside the manor.

"Most people haven't. Even in my universe where they were fairly common."

But he likes the intelligence he sees in her eyes and the interest too.

"But I've never been able to see a time-turner up close. And I don't know precisely how they work. Care to enlighten me?"

"Hermione explained this once before but a time turner is like a smaller scale time machine." Luna explained. "Its not a common tool since from what people have told me its either quite tricky to use or has the potential to be abused." since that had been the story heard most around Hogwarts.

"But it's not really a time machine. It's magic. Time machines... aren't."

He really doesn't know how to explain ti better than that.

"So, have you ever used one? What does it feel like?

Because, if it's anything like a Vortex Manipulator, there will be jokes to be had.

"I've never used one but part of me would love to, just to understand it." Luna mused. That statement proved she was a classic Ravenclaw even now, curious as ever. "Does your world have anything like it? she asked.

"Anything like magic? No. We were scientists, everything had some form of explanation, even if it seemed like magic to others."

She said 'his world.' So he's thinking of Gallifrey, not his universe in general.

"Sometimes things just can't be explained." Luna mused. "Every question can only lead to a new adventure or a new discovery in the end."

"Luna Lovegood. You've just stated the reason why I like books and travelling so much."

Which makes being stuck here all the more painful.

"Which would make you quite perfect for Ravenclaw!" Luna cracked a smile. "Books and travel are powerful weapons in my eyes. So part of me is seeing this as a new adventure."

"I don't know much about Ravenclaw."

Because for as studious as it was to read the books in ancient Greek and Latin, they didn't really talk about Ravenclaw or Huffalump (he's not good with names) as much.

"But you'd think I'd fit in with that lot? I personally think the Sorting Hat would have quite the challenge with me."

More so than with Harry and for entirely different reasons.

"Well what do you think the Sorting Hat would have to say?" Luna countered, happy to have something else to think about.

He offers a small sheepish smile.

"I really don't know. I'm ambitious and am always right and being the last of my kind, a pure-blood - which would sort me into Slytherin. I've saved Earth countless times doing things that others would considered idiotic and dangerous, which would put me Gryffindor. But in that, I'm also loyal to a fault, especially to those I would call friends - which is Huffaloompa. And well, we've already discussed Ravenclaw. But I'm not a witch or a wizard, so none of that really matters."

And no, for whatever reason, his brain cannot retain Hufflepuff. But he clearly loved the books since he remembered as much as he has.

[ooc: the FIRST wrong name for Hufflepuff was Humpaloopa, but that was so wrong in too many ways after I read through it, so I changed it. LOL]
