Chapter 5: Hogwarts Dress Code

"Come on Pond! It's time to get up!" The Doctor's voice filled the room. Amy rolled over in the bed and covered her head with a pillow.

"It's too early! Can't this wait?" Amy asked in a groggy voice.

"No you're going to miss breakfast, it's not often you get to have breakfast at Hogwarts. Rory is already up and dressed in his robes!" The Doctor said as he opened the window curtains. Amy sat up in bed with her eyes all scrunched up against the sunlight that filled the room. Rory came in the room dressed in burgundy colored robes. Amy face grew red as she fought back the urge to laugh.

"Do I really have to wear this, it's ridiculous! Also why are our phones not working?" Rory asked as he held up a sleeve to examine it. The Doctor took their phones away from them and held up his sonic screwdriver.

"They have a spell on the castle to keep the non magic people away. It causes any non magic technology to go haywire when it comes within a certain distance of the school. Now if I can just get the frequency right... Ah there it is." The Doctor said as he moved his sonic up and down the phones.

"There your phones should work fine now, just don't pull them out in front of the kids! And yes Rory you have to wear the robes they make you look all wizard-y."

The doctor handed back their phones and Rory and him left the room to let Amy get dressed. Amy got out of bed and went over to the wardrobe. She pulled out a pair of yellow robes.

"Well I guess these aren't so bad." She said as she held them up to her body to see how they looked.

A few minutes later she walked in to the office dressed and ready to go. She did a little spin to show off the robes and also to show off the short skirt she was wearing underneath it. Rory nearly fell out of the chair he was leaning back in when he saw her. The Doctor walked out of the Tardis and crossed his arms.

"You can't wear that skirt, it nearly killed Rory just imagine what it would do to the students!"

Amy turned and glared at him.

"Why not? Just because all the other teachers are old doesn't mean I have to dress like them." Amy said as she sat on the desk.

"Because you're not a kiss-a-gram any more, you're a professor! Now go put on some trousers!" The Doctor exclaimed. Amy slid off the desk in a huff and went back to the bedroom to change.

Harry yawned as he sat down at the Gryffindor table. He felt exhausted.

"We haven't even had our first class and I'm already ready for the weekend." He said as he rested his head in his hands.

"Speaking of classes, here is our class schedule." Ron said as he handed a paper to Harry. Harry groaned in response to him and poured himself some pumpkin juice. He picked up the schedule to look at it.

"It isn't that bad, we're outside all morning. We have Herbology and then Care of Magical Creatures. " Ron said as he piled food on to his plate.

"It looks like we are with the Slytherins again for that class." Harry said after a big gulp of pumpkin juice. Ron frowned.

"Fantastic!"

Hermione showed up a few minutes later and sat down next to Harry.

"We have double Divination this afternoon." Harry said with a painful look on his face. Hermione seemed to smirk as she was buttering her toast.

"You should have dropped it like I did and taken up something sensible like Ancient Ruins or Arithmancy!" Harry paid no attention to her as she said this because the new Professors just entered the great hall. The Doctor seemed to be dressed the same as the night before, although Amy and Rory had shed their muggle clothes for robes. Amy seemed to be complaining to the Doctor as they passed the Gryffindor table.

"Isn't being a professor hard? There must have been an easier job your physic paper could have told him to give us." She said quietly.

"Be glad I didn't give you a job as a dinner lady!" He said as he picked up a pastry from the Gryffindor table and took a bite.

"I couldn't do that anyway the House Elves are in charge of the kitchens and cleaning here." the Doctor said as they continued up to the Staff table. Hermione was too focused on her toast to listen to the first part of the conversation, but when the Doctor mentioned house elves she spit her food out. This grossed out Parvati who was sitting across from her. Hermione wiped up her mess and did her best to apologize to Parvarti.

"Slave labor! That's what made this food." She said angrily. Harry and Ron looked at each other and sighed. Hermione had been on the topic of the mistreatment of house elves since they met Winky at the world cup.

"So you're just not going to eat?" Ron asked through a mouth full of egg. Hermione glared at him. Ron ignored her glare and continued eating his breakfast. Harry shrugged and started on his own plate.

Up at the staff table Rory and Amy were starting on their own breakfast while the Doctor chatted with Professor Sprout about different species of plants. Rory had just finished his toast when Professor Dumbledore walked over with Madam Promfrey.

"Here is your new assistant." Dumbledore said with the same smile he had greeted them with last night. Rory stood up when he realized Dumbledore was talking about him.

"Right, hello! I'm Rory Williams." He said as he shook Madam Pomfrey's hand. He soon found himself following her out of the great hall.

"I'm afraid that it will just be tidying up the Hospital wing today, Mr. Williams. The students haven't been at school long enough to hurt themselves yet." Amy heard Madam Pomfrey say as she led Rory out of the Great hall. The Doctor leaned in close to Amy.

"So are you ready for our first class." The Doctor asked her.

"Do you have any idea what you are about to do?" She responded. The Doctor shook his head.

"Not a clue, but that's no different from any other time." He said with a huge grin.
