The Doctor was in the toilets, washing his hands ferociously, mumbling to himself.
"Holding a bird…what kind of a bloody school is this?!" he said, feeling annoyed.
He walked out of the toilets, and saw students walking around, going places and talking to each other. He looked left and right, wondering where to go. He saw three teenagers, two boys and one girl, walking out to the courtyard. He decided to follow them and pushed past students. He was just about to walk out when McGonagall appeared out of nowhere.
"Doctor, you are needed at the headmaster's office." She told him.
"Aww…" the Doctor said, sounding disappointed. "Who's the headmaster and where's his office?"
"His name is Albus Dumbledore, and his office is just over there." She pointed to his left. He nodded and walked with her to a statue of a gargoyle in a doorway where a door was supposed to be.
"Acid pops." McGonagall said.
"Oh, don't mind if I do." The Doctor said, smiling at her. She shook her head at him and his smile disappeared.
The gargoyle moved to the side and a staircase appeared. McGonagall walked up it, The Doctor followed her. When they reached a door, she knocked on it and a man's voice was heard from the other side of the door.
"Come in." he said.
McGonagall and the Doctor walked in. A man wearing blue robes and a blue hat was standing in front of his massive window, behind his cluttered desk, which had many pieces of parchment and quill and ink bottles. He turned. He had a long white beard. He smiled at the Doctor.
"You must be the Doctor." He said.
"Yes. You must be…Dumblefore?" The Doctor said, uncertain.
"Dumbledore, yes." Dumbledore said. "Now, I have called you here to my office because I want to know why you are at our school. You cannot Apparate and Disapparate in the grounds, so how did you arrive here?" he asked.
They stared at the Doctor. "Well…" he said. "I'd just had a lovely meal at a restaurant in London, and I went into my TARDIS-Time and Relative Dimensions In Space-and I pulled the lever and I ended up here." He explained.
McGonagall and Dumbledore stared at him with utter disbelief.
"You're a Time Lord?" Dumbledore said.
How did he know? The Doctor thought. "Yes…how do you know?"
"It's been mentioned in several books written by witches and wizards that there was once a time where there was a planet, filled with people who could go to different dimensions, different planets and travel through time. But they were all killed in a Time War…they all died." Dumbledore explained.
"Then how can he be here?" McGonagall said.
The Doctor answered the question. "I escaped. I borrowed-but forgot to return-the TARDIS. I've had many companions. I've been on countless adventures and I have countless enemies...who are jealous of me."
"Why are you called the Doctor? Doctor who?" McGonagall asked.
"It's a name I chose. I can't tell you my name…because…because…" he silenced. "How do you know so much about Time Lords? How do witches and wizards know us?!" he said, sounding astonished.
"We don't know. The authors are all dead." Dumbledore replied. "If you'd like to read them, we have many books based on Time Lords in the library. But they're in the restricted section. You'll need a teacher's permission."
"What about yours?" The Doctor said.
"Just tell the librarian Dumbledore said you could go without a slip, and that you're a visitor in the school." Dumbledore said.
"Ok." The Doctor said.
Two hours later (when he found the library) he walked up to the librarian who was sweeping the floors, because there were sweet wrappers all over.
"Hello? Librarian?" The Doctor said.
"Yes?" the librarian, Madam Pince said, looking up at him.
"I need to go to the restricted section, but Dumbledore told me I could go without a permission slip." He said. "Oh, and I'm a visitor to the school. Mr Doctor."
"Fine." Madam Pince said, back to sweeping the floor.
The Doctor walked to an aisle, which was labelled 'RESTRICTED SECTION!" with a skull and cross bones drawn next to it with chalk. Underneath the drawing which the Doctor was quite impressed by, were two initials-G.W. and F.W.
He walked into it and searched for any books which might have something to do with Time Lords. He only found two- 'The Time War' by Melody Pond(The Doctor smiled) and 'Gallifrey: What is it?' by Homer Addel.
He took them out and sat at a table, starting to read. He first read 'The Time War'.
'Chapter one-How It Started
Gallifrey-a small but magnificent planet in deeper space. Not many people know about this beautiful planet, but those who do don't really appreiciate it much. They just think it's a normal planet with nothing interesting happening. But the truth is that Gallifrey is very interesting. Especially the Time War.
The Doctor read the whole book in almost an hour, just before some students came into the library. As they came in, the Doctor put the books back on the shelf.
He was walking, almost at the doors, but he heard someone speaking.
"What's that?" a boy asked.
"I don't know, I haven't researched it yet." A girl replied. "But I don't think it's got anything to do with Earth."
"I've never heard of a Time War." Another boy said. The Doctor's eyebrow raised. He walked backwards to where the voices came from, and he hid himself from them, behind a bookshelf. The girl had bushy brown hair, one of the boys was ginger and seemed quite tall and the other boy had jet black hair, wears glasses and has a scar on his forehead.
"I've only just heard about it. I don't know anything about it, Ron!" the girl said.
The ginger boy, apparently called Ron replied. "That's weird. You usually know everything, Hermione. It's normally me and Harry who are the ones who ask the most questions about everything…apart from the teachers."
The boy called Harry laughed. The girl didn't look amused. The Doctor had a quiet chuckle as well. A little too loud, though. The trio turned to look at him. He immediately walked back but bumped into a small girl.
"Sorry!" he said, running to the doors.
