Chapter Ten:

The Doctor sat quietly, enjoying his banana custard. He had been slightly disappointed when it was discovered that the ice cream parlor didn't serve fish fingers. He looked around the table they were seated at. Jack was flirting with Sirius, unbeknownst to Sirius himself. James sat continually making passes at Lily. The Doctor could tell she was uncomfortable. He began to plot their escape. James went to slid his arm around Lily.

"Potter! Will you please stop?" Lily asked, relatively nicely. James laughed but didn't move his arm. Lily tried to shrug him off but he didn't budge. The Doctor was starting to get upset. "Potter! Get off of me!"

"Evans! Just relax!" He said with a cocky smile. The Doctor took a deep breath.

"She said get off James," The Doctor said, quietly. "She obviously isn't very comfortable with this situation so just back off." James looked at him then turned back to face Lily, not saying a word. The Doctor's eyes widened. He did NOT like being ignored. Jack saw the look in The Doctor's eyes.

"James, just let it go. Don't go and make The Doctor mad," Jack warned. James scoffed.

"What's some doctor gonna do to me? Hmm?" James asked, laughing. That was it! The Doctor had had it!

"Remember a few Christmases ago when that spaceship was over London?" The Doctor asked. James looked at him like he was stupid and pulled his arm out from behind Lily.

"Of course I do!" He exclaimed.

"You know who got rid of them? Me! How about the cybermen invasion? Heard of that? All those metal men running around, killing people?" The Doctor asked again, a wild look in his eyes. Lily, Jack, and Sirius watched the situation closely.

"I was at school but we heard about it," he answered.

"Guess who got rid of them too! That's right! Me! And the Daleks! You know what they call me? They call me the Oncoming Storm! There's a reason for that too! Do you really wanna figure that one out?" The Doctor asked loudly. James looked at him, almost as though he were some repulsive creature.

"What are you?" James asked.

"I'm a 900 year old Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey! The last of the Time Lords at that! I'm the sole survivor of the Last Great Time War! I've seen things that would put your worst nightmares to shame! Do you really think some daft human scares me?" The Doctor stopped his rant and finally took a breath.

"Daft human? I'll show you a daft human!" James exclaimed. He rose to his feet, quickly pulling out his wand and pointing it at The Doctor. Lily was on her feet even quicker, her wand drawn and aimed at James.

"Put it away, Potter!" Lily said through gritted teeth.

"Defending your alien boyfriend, Evans?" James asked, the jealousy evident in every word.

"He's not my boyfriend!" She exclaimed. James laughed bitterly.

"He is a little old for you! What was it? 900 years old?" James asked, smiling crookedly.

"Drop it Potter!" Lily nearly yelled. She stepped closer and her wand was almost touching James' nose. Sirius stood up now.

"Now, Evans, is this any way for the Head Girl to be acting?" Sirius asked. Lily turned quickly, her wand now pointing at Sirius. There were tears in her eyes by now. She was furious.

"Stay out of this!" She yelled. The Doctor reached up and put his hand on her shoulder. Lily looked back at him.

"Let's go for a walk," he suggested. Lily nodded and put her wand back into her coat. James followed suit quickly thereafter.

"I'll wait here," Jack called after The Doctor and Lily as they walked out the door. Jack turned his attention back to the boys. "So, you two wanna hear a funny story about me and a couple of executioners?"
