Hogwarts in the Time Vortex
Chapter one
"So, where do you wanna go this time, eh?" A man, wearing a long purple overcoat, a brown waist coat with a white shirt underneath it, along with brown trousers and boots with a blue bow tie with silver symbols on it, said. He was looking at a hexagonal shaped console in a large room with a balcony in it. A large coelom extending from the hexagonal console with several green tubes in it and two large glass spikes, one at the top and the other at the bottom, neared the top before it became three rotating cogs with circular symbols on them.
"I don't know, you did say this thing can travel anywhere in the universe, right?" A woman, in her early twenties, with brown hair and blue eyes, said. She was wearing a black top with white polka dots on it, and blue trousers.
"That's the Tardis, Clara." The man said. The woman, Clara, smiled. "Tell you what, let's set the controls to random, and see where the Tardis takes us, shall we?" The man asked.
"Ok, Doctor." Clara said. The Doctor grinned. He then pulled a leaver on the console, and the Tardis groaned. When it stopped groaning, the Doctor pointed at the doors.
"Outside those doors, could be anywhere, any when, and it's ours to see." He said. Clara smiled at him, and they both walked to the doors and stepped out. When they did so, they were met with several people pointing what looked like sticks at them, most of the people wearing robes. The Doctor and Clara both raised their hands to symbolise surrender. The Doctor quickly scanned the area he and Clara were in with his eyes. It was some kind of castle, looking like a bomb had fallen on it.
"Doctor, why are these people pointing sticks at us?" Clara asked.
"Be silent, girl!" An aging man said.
"Dawlish, be careful, they could be Death Eaters." A man with brown skin and no hair said.
"What? Dressed like that? Give me a break, Kingsley." Dawlish said.
"What's going on here?" A young man's voice asked. Suddenly, a young man, about seventeen, walked through the crowd of people, along with a girl with brown bushy hair and a boy with ginger hair. The young man noticed the Doctor and Clara. He got a stick out is pocket and pointed it at them. "Who are you?" He asked.
"I'm the Doctor." The Doctor said.
"And I'm Clara." Clara said.
"Doctor? Don't you mean Healer?" The boy with ginger hair asked.
"No, I definitely mean Doctor." The Doctor said. The people murmured.
"Potter, Weasley, Granger, take these two to Professor McGonagall." Kingsley said.
"Yes sir." The young man, Potter, said. "You, move!" He then said, to the Doctor and Clara.
"Alright, we're moving." The Doctor said. "Hold on, I just need to…" He then began.
"No, get moving!" The boy with ginger hair, Weasley, said. He and the girl, Granger, were also pointing sticks at the Doctor and Clara.
"Ok, ok, we'll move." The Doctor said before he and Clara were led away by Granger, Weasley and Potter following them. They walked into the remains of the old castle.
"Where are we, Doctor?" Clara asked.
"I don't know, Clara. I didn't bother checking the scanners before we came out." The Doctor said. They reached the remains of a stone gargoyle, and walked up a flight of stairs that were behind it. When they reached the top of the stairs, Granger knocked on a door.
"Enter." A woman's voice said. Granger opened the door, and Weasley and Potter shoved the Doctor and Clara in.
"Ron, Harry, don't be so rough." Granger said.
"Sorry, Hermione." Weasley, Ron, said. They were in an office.
"Oh, this is nice. What do you think, Clara?" The Doctor asked.
"Yeah, nice." Clara said.
"Potter, Weasley, Granger, what is the meaning of this? And who are these people?" An old woman asked.
"Sorry, Professor McGonagall, but these two just appeared out of nowhere in a blue box, and we don't know how." Hermione said.
"Appeared? You mean just like that?" Professor McGonagall asked, clicking her fingers.
"Yes, Professor, just like that." Harry said.
"Very well, Weasley, go to Professor Slughorn and get a bottle of Veritaserum, Granger, go to the Aurors and tell them to investigate this 'blue box'. Potter, you stay here, you're going to help me interrogate these two." Professor McGonagall said. During all that, the Doctor had his hands in his overcoat pocket. He clicked his fingers. Outside, in the courtyard, the Tardis doors slammed shut. In Professor McGonagall's office, Hermione and Ron nodded before they left. When they did, Professor McGonagall looked at the Doctor and Clara. "Who are you? If you don't mind me asking." She said.
"I'm the Doctor, and this is Clara Oswald." The Doctor said. "Now, can I just ask where we are?" He then asked. Professor McGonagall and Harry looked at each other.
"Muggles." Harry said. Meanwhile, Ron had went down to the dungeons and walked into a classroom. A man with balding hair looked at him.
"Oh, Mr Weasley, this is a surprise." He said.
"Sorry to bother you, Professor Slughorn, but Professor McGonagall wants some Veritaserum to interrogate two people who appeared in the school." Ron said.
"Well then, let's see." Slughorn said before he looked through a few cupboards. "Aha, here we are my strongest batch. Take this to Professor McGonagall." He said, giving Ron a small bottle of a clear liquid. Ron took it and went to leave. "Oh, Mr Weasley, tell Finnegan when you see him that I want to have a word with him." Slughorn said.
"Will do, sir." Ron said before he left. Meanwhile, Hermione walked out into the courtyard.
"Professor McGonagall wants you to investigate this box." She said. The Aurors nodded and began to look at the Tardis. Up in Professor McGonagall's office, Ron came in.
"The Veritaserum, Professor." He said.
"Thank you, Weasley." Professor McGonagall said, taking the small bottle from Ron. The Doctor was looking at a rotating device on a table.
"How fascinating, this isn't powered by batteries or electricity at all." He said.
"Excuse me, sir, but can you just drink this?" Professor McGonagall asked. The Doctor looked up, and took the bottle from Professor McGonagall and looked at it, before he took a sip.
"Tastes like water." He said.
"Now, sir, what is your name?" Professor McGonagall asked.
"I told you, my name's the Doctor." The Doctor said.
"He can't be lying, Professor, he's taken the potion." Harry said. Hermione walked in.
"The Aurors are investigating the box." She said.
"Ah, good. Tell me, Doctor, what is that box?" Professor McGonagall asked.
"It's called the Tardis. T.A.R.D.I.S. stands for time and relative dimension in space. It's my ship and home. It can travel in time and space." The Doctor said.
"Please, could you empty your pockets, sir?" Professor McGonagall asked. The Doctor looked at her, before he placed his hand in his pockets, and pulled out all sorts of objects. He placed them on the table, and Professor McGonagall, Hermione and Harry looked at them, while Ron pointed his stick at Clara and the Doctor. Finally, Hermione held up a tube like device.
"What is this?" She asked.
"It's a sonic screwdriver." The Doctor said.
"And what does it do?" Harry asked.
"Pretty much anything." The Doctor said.
"So, it's just like a wand?" Ron asked.
"Wand? Is that what your sticks are, and why you keep pointing them at me and Clara? Are you wizards and witches?" The Doctor asked.
"Yes." Ron said.
"Impossible, there is no such thing as…" The Doctor began.
"Petrificus Totalus." Ron said. The Doctor froze, unable to move.
"Thank you, Weasley, he was getting annoying." Professor McGonagall said before she, Harry and Hermione continued to search through the Doctor's things. Five minutes later, Ron unfroze the Doctor.
"Magic." He finished his sentence. "Hold on, did you just freeze me? With magic? Oh my god, you are wizards and witches!" He said.
"Yeah, and you are in Hogwarts, the best magic school in the world." Ron said. Suddenly, Kingsley burst into the room.
"Professor McGonagall, that box, it's resisting all magic, and is now striking lightning." He said. Five minutes later, everyone was outside, looking at the Tardis. Dawlish walked to it, and was blasted backwards off his feet by a bolt of lightning from the lantern.
"What have you done?!" The Doctor asked, horrified.
"What is it, Doctor?" Clara asked.
"It's security program seventy-five, pretty soon this entire castle will be sucked into the Time Vortex." The Doctor said.
