The Time Lord and the Wizard

A Semi-companion piece to Werewolf Chapters 21/22

31 October 1979

The Doctor had just returned to Earth in his TARDIS. This amazing piece of equipment allowed him to traverse space and time. He could regenerate from the TARDIS, but had never had the opportunity to do so, instead regenerating elsewhere. After taking a walk, he entered the TARDIS, and took off his long scarf, and decided to go change his clothing into something a little more comfortable. He would then have a Jelly Baby (they are so good!). Obviously, only those who he had shown, or were Time Lords themselves, knew the true nature of the TARDIS, and that was good. All manner of scientists would try to understand that which could not be understood. At least, it couldn't be understood by 20th century Humans.

The Doctor had been hearing rumours about a new evil villain on the Earth. He had looked into it a couple of times but, even with his skills, couldn't manage to find the right piece of evidence. According to the rumours there was a person calling himself, "Lord Voldemort" who was using his followers to kill something called "Muggles." The source of his rumours wasn't completely in the know, so he didn't have the entire story. Maybe this is something that UNIT can look up, he thought.

Ever since he had been exiled on this planet that the natives called, "Earth" quite a number of years ago, he had been taken with the species. I can see if I can actually get closer to this cult calling themselves "wizards". I will use the sensors on the TARDIS to look for anomalous activity. Just then, the Doctor heard something that he had only heard once before. Someone was knocking on the TARDIS door. Sarah's probably forgotten her key again. I should go answer it.

When he got to the door, he didn't see Sarah Jane-Smith, he saw two people dressed in some of the oddest clothing that he had ever seen—including his own clothing, which was quite distinctive. "Hello?" the Doctor asked. "Who's at my door?"

"Hello, sir," the woman said. The woman had fire-red hair, green eyes, and was absolutely magnificent. The man had unkempt hair, glasses, and knobbly knees. "Can we come in?"

"Who are you?" asked the Doctor once again.

"I'm James Potter," said the man. "And this is my fiancée, Lily Evans. A madman is after us, and we thought that if we just went to a Muggle police-box that we'd be safe."

He was just about to tell them that the TARDIS was off limits to civilians when something the man said hit him. The man had used the word 'Muggle' perhaps unintentionally. "Come on in. It may not be what you're expecting, though," said the Doctor, trying to tell the TARDIS to look at least somewhat normal.

"Wow!" James Potter said. "This looks so much smaller on the outside! Are you some type of wizard? We have things just like this, except not so...futuristic."

Now the Doctor's interest was really piqued.

This story will give an explanation to some of the events that happen in Chapter 21/22 of Werewolf. The chapters, I think, will be a lot shorter than those of Werewolf , but I figure that I will update more often. This piece isn't going to be extremely long though.
