Its the first of September, and I'm currently sitting on a train that's going to take me to Hogwarts, the school for the gifted and talented. It's a school for witches and wizards. Yup apparently I'm a witch. I don't know when this happened one minute I was standing on the TARDIS talking to the Doctor the next I'm sitting on a train with a suitcase that has all my school clothes and books. But the thing is though is that Hogwarts is a story, a story about a boy called Harry Potter written by J.K Rowling, it's not real. And to top it off I have no way of contacting the doctor because of the fact they have never heard of technology. The only thing I can do is wait till I get to Hogwarts, get sorted and than send a letter to the doctor, I just hope the owls can find him where ever he is.
The train pulls into hogsmeads train station and there is Hagrid waiting to take us up to the castle. Sitting on the boats though the view is a lot better than when on TV and the view was breath taking than. Standing in the hall waiting for Professor McGongall to call my name I look at the staff table and I can't believe it where professor Quirrell is meant to sit next to Professor Snape is the Doctor! What on earth is he doing here!
"Granger, Hermione" I hear Professor McGongall call and a small little irl with very frizzy hair gets called up "Ravenclaw" shouts the hat. I look up in time to see Headmaster Dumbledore look furious
"Green, Emma" I slowly walk up all of a sudden I'm scared I see the doctor look at me in shock and than he laughs and smiles, I'm so glad that at least he remembers me and that I have someone here I can go see. "Slytherin" the hat shouts! I can't believe it! I'm in my favourite house, I never liked Gryffindor while they ran into trouble like I love doing they never bothered to think about anything, that and I really wanted to be friends with Draco Malfoy, he was always my favourite character in the books.
At the end of the feast which was magnificent even the doctor couldn't cook that good we were led to the dungeons by the two 5th year prefects. When we got there and was told the password we were led inside, the common room looked amazing all rich colours and woods, the greens and silvers were beautiful, i'm so glad I didn't get Gryffindor I know the red would have just given me a headache looking at that all day. Waiting for us to sit down was professor Snape and the Doctor. I had no idea what we were going to do about cover stories, I just hoped he knew.
"welcome to Slytherin House, I am Professor Snape your head of house and this is Professor Green, he is your second head of house, if I am busy or you cannot find me than you will go to professor Green. The other 3 houses hate us, they believe that we are all dark because of the fact that we are cunning we will not head straight into danger we will think about what is best and make sure there is no way for us to get caught, because of this you must stick together in front of the school, no matter what happens in this house as soon as you step out of that door it is forgotten about until you are once again inside this room. The girls dormitories are up the stairs on the left boys yours are the same on the right, your names are on a plaque, there will only ever be 2 of you to a room, once you have made friends with people if you want to change your rooms come and speak to either me or Professor Green and we will help you move. I am the potions professor here, everyone will tell you that I favour Slytherins and while I do it is only in front of the others, if you misbehave you will be in trouble with me privately. Professor Green here is the defence against the dark arts teacher, he was in Slytherin like yourselves a few years ago and passed with very high NEWTs. Now if that is all off to bed, don't forget make sure you have always read a chapter in advance for my lessons, I will not be happy if you do not know the answers!"
"Wait, Emma, I would like to talk to you please" said Professor Green.
So I stayed behind while all the other children walked up the stairs to look at their new rooms for the year.
"Doctor," I whispered
"not here Emma, come let us talk in my office" he replied.
The walk from the common room to his office was done in silence, we couldn't risk talking and someone over hearing.
Once inside his office the doctor used his sonic to make sure that no one could listen into our conversations.
"Doctor! What do we do! This is meant to be a story not real life, why are we here? I'm not even a witch!"
"Yes you are a witch, it seems that we have travelled dimensions and in this reality we are a witch and a wizard. The story here is that I am your father, Dumbledore says that in class you must still call me professor however there is a room added on to mine for you for if you ever stay over! We need to act life father daughter, no longer the two of us in a relationship not until we get out of this dimension." the doctor paused and took down the silencing wards "well done for getting in to Slytherin, I am proud, as you know I would not have minded which house you are in, but Slytherin I believe is where you will thrive fully. Now let's not waste any more time it is late and lessons start tomorrow, come I will walk you back to the common room"
and with that he was no longer the Doctor, he was my father and my professor. I'm glad I had started travelling with the doctor before this happened, things don't shock me any more, I must be used to weird things happening I mused as I followed my father back to the common room.
I slowly walked up the stairs that would take me to my room, there was only 4 girls in Slytherin first years, there was myself, Pansy Parkinson, Daphne Greengrass and Millicent Bulstrode. As I walked up I saw my name with Daphne Greengrass underneath it. I slowly walked into the room, looking around as I did, it looked nice, a little plain, there were two beds with green and silver covers and a wardrobe at the end of the bed, there was a bedside table and a desk by each bed and on top of the beds against the wall was a shelf for your books. Plain but all you would need for school. The beds were comfy which was all I cared about. There was an adjoining room which I guessed went to the bathrooms. I saw my suitcase sitting at the end of my bed so I slowly started taking out all of my clothes, hanging up my school uniforms which had the slytherin crest engraved in them now and putting my every day clothes in the chest of draws, next I put all my reading books on my shelf and all my school books on the desk and than took my pyjamas and toiletries to the bathroom to get changed and add them to the cupboard there. I was surprised by how comfortable my wand felt in my hand and how with just a flick of my wrist is did what I wanted to do.
I lay down quickly, it was late and I was tired and I knew that tomorrow would be a long day..a very long day.
