Thanks for all your suggestions! And reviews! This is ACTUALLY the next chapter so yay! I finally got around to it. Reviews make me happy and the more that come in, the faster the next chapter will be up. I'm sorry that this one took so long to get up, i don't think that'll happen again. So, in the way of the story, Ginny may seem a little ooc at times, and i may have exaggerated her aggressiveness a tad, and i know that Ginny wouldn't be 23 in 2013, but oh well who cares, just go with it and pretend because it's fanfiction and we pretend with this stuff. There were a few typos in the last chapter. Oops. Ya so, enjoy chapter 2! (It may be a tad shorter than the last)


"So, magic!" The Doctor turned to Ginny with an eager expression on his face. He wanted to know everything there was to know about this idea of magic. He wanted to know how this society these people apparently built for themselves functions, and how long they've been around for. But most of all, he wanted to know more of this girl that was now walking around the inside of his TARDIS, looking curiously at all the controls.

She looked up, nearly mirroring the interest displayed on the Doctor's face. She smiled as she walked to where he was standing. "So, time travel!"

"And space!" He added, throwing his hands in the air with an excited grin on his face.

"And space…" She echoed as she strolled past him, gliding a finger across the console. "So, are you going to take me somewhere?"

"Actually, I would love to take you somewhere. But, I am far too curious momentarily of this whole 'wizards' thing." He really was, and he wasn't sure whether he actually wanted to take her with him until he knew exactly what she was. Well, of course he wanted to take her with him, there were just a few things needing sorted out first.

"So you invite me to come with you, and then deny me what you offer after I accept it? You're very hospitable." She said in a nearly offended tone of voice.

"No, of course not. I just need some information before we leave. Magic? I've seen many forms of magic but none quite like you." He was insisting.

"Yeah, it's quite interesting. But you know what? So is being a time-traveler. I'll start talking when you start traveling." She gave him a look, challenging him.

He stared back at her, expression changing from appreciating her sassiness, to being angered at the lack of information she was conveying. He picked an emotion and stuck with it. "Okay, fine. Where do you want to go? Forward or backwards? Earth or space?"

"Well, I've had just about enough of earth right now, take me somewhere in the great beyond!"

"Space then!" He pulled a lever, flipped a switch, pressed two buttons then flipped another switch. "And we're off!"

The TARDIS lurched upward and Ginny let out a surprised laugh as they sped off into space. Seconds after the excitement had begun, it ended. The Doctor skipped to the doors and quickly turned around and stood right in front of them.

"Just to warn you, I'm going to open the doors, and it's not going to be earth. Ok? Ok."

Ginny looked at him with giddy excitement.

He swung open the doors and before them was space. Planets swung around them in an unknown solar system and billions of stars twinkled in the distance.

"Welcome to space. Not much of a jump, I know, and I guess it's just a solar system so it could be from any time frame so I guess it's not going to be that believable of a time machine if we just journey to distant galaxies. SO! Next is time travel. But," He said, shutting the TARDIS doors, "Now that I've shown you what exactly this box can do, someone's a witch and still hasn't proven it. So, the TARDIS isn't going anywhere until you do something."

"What, just do a spell or something? Why do I have to prove it?"

"Just do something, it can't be that hard."

"Hmm…" Ginny thought. "Why do you wear a bowtie?"

"Bowties are cool, that's why. Why do you a-"

"Incendio!" Ginny cut him off, and fire came shooting out of her wand. The Doctor looked down to vaguely see what he assumed to be his bowtie on fire. He panicked and quickly untied what was now burning to a crisp, threw it on the ground and stepped on it.

"What'd you do that for?" He asked, looking quite offended.

"You asked for magic. Ask, and you shall receive."

"Yeah, well, why pick on the bowtie? What did it ever do to you?"

"The attempted fashion statement was hurting my brain, it had to go." She said with an unapologetic expression.

"I have extras you know." He said, trying to regain the higher ground.

"Really? Interesting." She said as she took out her wand once more. "Accio bowties!"

From one of the hallways leading off of the console room, a large, sphere-shaped pile of fabric came whizzing across the room before stopping right in front of Ginny. "Confringo!" She shouted, and the whole lot caught fire in a rather explosive manner.

"Noo!" The Doctor shouted as he watched his once lively bunch of bowties decrease to nothing but ashes. He stood horrified as he stared at what was left of them. Appalled, he turned to Ginny with pain in his face. "Why?"

"Oh, don't be such a drama queen. One day, you might get a new one. So, are we done with the magic presentation?"

"Fine. But I'm choosing where we're going!" He flipped a few switches and pressed a few buttons, and a few seconds later the Doctor ran out the doors. Ginny followed close after him.

Ginny stared at her new surroundings, quite surprised. "Doctor, why are we in a department shop?"

"Maybe because someone blew up all my bowties!" He shouted at her as they made their way to the men's section. "Now, because I'm nice and forgiving, I'll let you pick out the new one."

"That's more like a punishment."

"Maybe that's the point. Ah," He said, entering the right section. "Here we are. Ok, pick one."

Ginny's eyes immediately fell on one in particular. It was a simple brown color, but covered in kittens. "Yes, I think this one!" She said, holding it up to him.

"Perfect! Let's go check out." They made their way up to the cashier just to find that no one was there. Indeed, no one was anywhere. This was certainly odd.

Ginny looked around. "Where is everyone?"

"I don't know. The shop is definitely open." They both walked toward the open doors of the store. Outside was a mall. All the stores seemed to be open, but there were no people.

Ginny looked out into the empty mall. "We should see about this."

She walked out of the store, bowtie still in hand, and walked around the building. Looking up, she counted five extra levels towering over her. Looking forward, the mall seemed endless.

"Doctor, why would such a large mall be abandoned?"

"I don't know, but I don't think there's a friendly answer."

They crept through the expansive building for ten more minutes, finding more stores that seemed to be open but without a soul in sight.

"Doctor," Ginny asked, "Was that department store on earth? I'm not recognising any of the shop names."

"I don't actually know." He said thoughtfully. "I should pay more attention to these types of things, shouldn't I?"

"You really should. Where else are you going to get us lost to?"

Suddenly, before they moved any further forward, they were surrounded by a thick, purple gas. The Doctor weakly shouted Ginny's name, but it was no use, they were both gone seconds after he had opened his mouth.
