Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft and Wizardry
The Doctor walked around the centre control panel thinking of a place to go, as things were starting to get a bit boring round the TARDIS. He rolled up the sleeves on his white shirt as an alarm rang throughout the TARDIS. Looking at the screen he smiled and ran down to his companion's room and knocked on the door.
"Rose?"
He heard a mumbling from the opposite side of the door but knew she was ignoring him, so he knocked again.
"Rose, are you awake?"
"No, now go away!"
"Get up"
He walked into her room and saw that she had hidden in her quilt. He poked her and she threw a pillow at him.
"I'm trying to sleep"
"Good, now get up and get dressed"
"Why?"
"Because we're going to Hogwarts to see an old friend"
"Hogwarts? You're getting me up so you can go to a pig sty"
"Hogwarts isn't a pig sty, it's a school for children with magical abilities"
Rose turned away, so the Doctor pulled off her quilt and watched as she glared at him.
"Fine, I'll get up. You win"
The Doctor smiled and left,
"Don't I always"
Rose appeared in the control room, dressed but still very sleepy.
"This better be important for you to wake me up this early"
"Oh, but it is"
When the TARDIS stopped, Rose walked outside to find that they were at a regular train station. She turned to the Doctor as he stepped out for an explanation,
"Oh yeah, the TARDIS can't get inside Hogwarts walls, so we'll have to get the train"
Rose groaned and took the Doctors outstretched hand and followed him onto the train. They walked pass many compartments until they reached one where a man was already sitting. He had brown hair freckled with spots of grey and dull grey robes, he looked up as Rose and the Doctor entered.
"Evening Doctor, and who is this?"
"This is my companion, Rose Tyler, Rose this is Remus Lupin"
"Hello"
"Pleased to meet you"
Rose shook his hand and sat down opposite the Doctor, looking out the window. Lupin shook the Doctors hand and sat down.
"Dumbledore has sent me to assist you on the journey"
"Thank you, do you know why Dumbledore contacted me?"
"He suspects that the deatheaters are out trying to bring back You-Know-Who, and since you assisted us in the first war, he is seeking your help again"
The Doctor nodded and turned to Rose and saw she had fallen asleep; he smiled and covered her up with his coat.
Rose woke up and shivered and noticed that Lupin and the Doctor weren't there. The train halted to a stop so hard it made Rose fall off the seat. As she got up she noticed a shallow mist had surrounded the compartment. A dark figure approached the window and it smashed, causing Rose to scream and fall backwards. As she edged closer to the compartment door she felt it open, and turned around quickly, seeing Lupin and the Doctor. Lupin pointed his wand at the creature,
"Expecto Patronum!"
A silvery white light erupted from the tip of his wand causing the creature to glide off. The Doctor helped Rose up and sat her down on the seat and sat next to her, Lupin sat opposite,
"What the hell was that?"
"A dementor, they guard the wizard prison of Askaban, but lately they have been taking orders from someone other than the ministry"
Lupin repaired the broken window and Rose just shook her head and leaned back in her chair, so this was magic she thought, it was different. The Doctor wanted more information before he faced Dumbledore,
"What do you mean? They're taking orders from somebody else?"
"That's what Dumbledore suspects, that's why he's brought Harry back to Hogwarts sooner, to protect him"
"Harry?"
"Lily and James's son, he was only 1 year old when they died"
The train shuddered to a stop and they all walked onto Hogsmede platform. Rose pulled her jacket closer to her body and shivered and ran up to Hogwarts with the Doctor and Lupin.
Rose, Lupin and the Doctor all walked up the marble staircase towards Dumbledore's office. Rose nearly fell over when the staircase they were on started to move, but was reassured when the Doctor smiled at her, he would never bring her somewhere dangerous, as long as you didn't count the time when they met the Slitheen or the Daleks. Upon reaching Dumbledore's office, Lupin knocked on and left them to it. The Doctor and Rose walked in and were greeted by Dumbledore,
"Evening Doctor, and who is this charming young lady?"
"This is my companion, Rose Tyler"
"Please to meet you Miss Tyler, please sit down"
They sat down facing Dumbledore and he smiled politely and began to inform them,
"You maybe wondering why I have asked for your help Doctor, well, I suspect that the deatheaters are searching for away to revive Lord Voldemort and we may need extra defences if any of them try to intercept the Triwizard Tournament, so could you please help us in this event?"
"Happy to"
"Marvellous, please enjoy your stay at Hogwarts, you will have the entire 4th floor at your disposal, I shall arranged an elf to show you there"
Dumbledore clicked his fingers and a house-elf appeared causing Rose to nearly have a heart attack,
"Dobby, please show the Doctor and his lovely companion to the 4th floor"
"Yes, Professor Dumbledore sir"
Dobby lead the Doctor and Rose to the 4th floor and waved them goodbye. Rose became fascinated with the portraits that were moving but stopped staring as one of them shouted back. Rose glared at it and turned in time to see the Doctor going into his room, well, she thought, he maybe tired but I'm not. Rose wanted to explore this new place, she waited for the staircase to move back. She stepped onto the stairs and went down a floor to see what she could find there, but all she did find was a poltergeist called Peeves,
"Ah, ickle kiddie out of bed"
"I'm not a kid"
"Ooo, sensing anger in the ickle kiddies voice, call for a professor I should"
"I don't have time for this"
Rose turned to leave but was met with a blow to the head, she turned around to see Peeves sticking his tongue out at her, then he disappeared. Rose rubbed the back of her head and thought this was enough exploring for one day and went back to the 4th floor to bed.
