crossoverfic | Fic, Harry Potter/Doctor Who: The Lost Boy

Title: The Lost Boy
Format & Word Count: Fic, 2,120 words
Rating: PG
Fandoms: Harry Potter, Doctor Who
Characters: Teddy Lupin, Tenth Doctor
Warnings: Deathly Hallows spoilers, though if you've already read the name of the characters in it, that's basically the only spoiler. Vague spoilers for the end of Doctor Who season 3, I suppose.
Summary: Out Christmas shopping with Harry, five-year-old Teddy gets lost in Knockturn Alley, and an unexpected rescuer turns up to help him out.
Author's Note: Takes place between the actual end of Deathly Hallows and the epilogue, and sometime between seasons 3 and 4 of Doctor Who. See, I'm planning this epic crossover in the same verse as Too Close to the Moon, this fic teaser, and A Movement of Darkness on Darkness, which also happens to be my way of straightening out my personal canon in regard to Certain Character Deaths at the end of DH. This little bit was just going to be a memory of Teddy's, when he meets the Doctor several years later and realizes he's seen him before, and then I figured, well, it works as a short stand-alone. And yeah, the title is mostly 'cause...I couldn't think of anything else and figured it was a good crossover connection, even if "The Lost Boy" was a Sarah Jane Adventures episode and not a Doctor Who one.

(He is five years old and Uncle Harry’s taken him to Diagon Alley for Christmas shopping)
