The TARDIS was jolting about, making the Doctor get thrown around the control room. He was laughing, and holding onto the bars on the sides. Suddenly, with a massive hit, the TARDIS stopped but threw the Doctor on the floor with a loud thud. The Doctor laid on the floor for a moment, getting his breath back.
"That was awesome!" he yelled. He got up and pulled the screen down and fixed his hair, looking at his reflection. He clicked his tongue and clicked his fingers, pointing to the screen. "Looking killer today, Doctor." He said to himself.
He ran over to the door and opened it. His smile disappeared immediately and stared at what was in front of him: Hogwarts Castle.
He walked out and closed the door behind him and walked towards the large castle. The TARDIS was parked next to a big lake. Bubbles erupted from it which alarmed the Doctor. He fixed his bow tie and walked on. He checked his watch-only ten in the morning. As he walked, he saw owls flying from a tall tower, carrying things.
By the time he reached a courtyard, he was worn out. The Doctor sat on a bench and rested for a bit and looked around the place. It was fascinating. The sky was grey, but it didn't look like it was going to rain, even though it was very cold. The Doctor stood up and strolled over to the two big doors. He pushed and pushed, but he couldn't open it. He tried the door next to it and opened it. He realised the first door was locked for some reason. He walked into what looked like an entrance hall. To his right was a staircase…which moved. In front of him was another large door. He looked back and forth between them but he was tempted to try out the moving staircase. He ran, smiling to the stairs and walked up it. When he reached the first moving staircase, he put his foot on it but it moved away. The Doctor was now doing the splits. With all his might, he pulled himself up, holding onto the sides, onto the staircase.
He looked around, unaware as to what to do. He saw a door and ran to it. He opened the door and walked into a corridor. He walked on, looking around. He saw another staircase (but this wasn't moving) and walked up it. At the end of the twirling staircase, there was a door. Curious, he opened it and walked in.
"Excuse me? Who might you be?" a woman's voice said.
The Doctor pointed to himself questioningly, and looked behind him then back at the woman. "Me?" he asked, confused.
The room was filled with teenagers, all dressed in black robes. The woman seemed to be a teacher. She was old and was wearing a tall black hat.
"Yes." She replied.
"I-I'm the Doctor." He said, fixing his bow tie.
"What is your purpose here, exactly…the Doctor?" she asked.
"No, not 'the doctor'…just 'Doctor'." The Doctor corrected. "I just stumbled upon here. Where am I? Could you tell me, please?"
"You are at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I am the Transfiguration professor. My name is Minerva McGonagall, but call me professor." McGonagall said.
"Ok…professor." The Doctor smiled. "Anything I could do?"
McGonagall looked around the classroom and saw an empty seat. "You can sit next to Mr Longbottom there." She pointed at a plump-looking boy sitting on his own.
The Doctor sat next to the boy, smiling at him. McGonagall resumes talking.
"Hi." The boy whispered to the Doctor. "I'm Neville Longbottom. What was your name?"
"Doctor." The Doctor replied. "So…what are you doing?"
"We're learning how to turn a goblet into a bird. We're making notes. Do you want some parchment and quill?" Neville said to the Doctor.
"Yes, please." The Doctor nodded. Neville gave him some parchment and a quill, then placed the ink pot between them, in the middle.
The Doctor made notes the lesson, hurting his wrist as he wrote.
"Who would like to be my assistant?" McGonagall asked. The Doctor put his hand up immediately. McGonagall sighed. "Fine. Doctor, come up here to the front."
The Doctor ran up to the front of the class, ecstatic. McGonagall told him to hold the goblet in his hands, facing her. He did so. She waved her wand at the goblet, which turned into an owl. Though most of the class gasped and said "Wow!", the Doctor did something completely different.
"AAAAAGHHH!" he screamed. He'd never held a bird before and he was quite freaked out about the situation.
The bell ran and he threw the bird in the air and ran out of the classroom.
"NEVER IN A MILLION BILLION YEARS!" He yelled as he pushed past students in the corridors.
Students stared at him as if he was completely weird. He ended up outside in a courtyard and saw about fifteen students there. He ran up to a boy who was about thirteen. "Where are the toilets?!" The Doctor demanded.
The boy told him the way and started laughing when he ran away, trying not to touch anything. The Doctor's first day wasn't going very well.
