When the boys woke up after sleeping on the floor in the sleeping bags Donna had summoned for them, they realized they were not alone.
"Hello, I'm the Doctor!" a tall, gangly man with spikey brown hair in a brown suit said as the blond woman with him continued to talk with Madam Pomfrey.
"Dad!" Harry exclaimed, running over to the Doctor and hugging him around the waist.
"Hello Harry." he smiled as he hugged his son back."Draco, Gred, Forge." He nodded as he greeted the other three boys. He smiled when Rose walked over to them.
"Hello, boys." Rose smiled at the twins, before turning to Draco "Draco come here and give me a hug." Draco walked over confused, and allowed himself to be enveloped in a warm, motherly hug."I know you didn't mean for Jess to get hurt, but I also know that while Madam Pomfrey was busy trying to find Harry you made sure that Jess was cared for." Draco blushed as he stepped back, not saying a word because he knew he would only trip over his own words. Rose winked at him "I know that you like my daughter, Draco. Just like I also know that you four boys and Jess are the next generation of Marauders." she held up her hand as all four boys began to protest what she'd said. "I have my sources. And if you lot are as clever as your Head of House says you are, you will also have found the original Marauders' Map and have been told who the founding members really were."
"Hello, mum." Harry said quietly before being pulled into a hug with his mother, relaxing and enjoying the warmth of it.
"Hello, sweetheart." she looked at Harry's face carefully "You look a lot like Lily."
"Really?"
"You have her eyes, but the height and frame are partially hers as well." she smiled as Harry hugged her tightly. "She and I were chasers together when we were in Gryffindor. You didn't inherit your skills on the broom from just your father." She smiled at him before looking at Madam Pomfrey. "Has there been any change?"
The Matron shook her head "She hasn't woken yet."
The Doctor said "I'll do a diagnostic myself, thanks. I need to see exactly what was harmed when she fell."
As he scanned Jess's head with his sonic screwdriver, Rose explained to Madam Pomfrey "My husband is the only person that I know of that has degrees in four fields of both magical and muggle medicine. He invented all of the tools he uses himself."
"And they only work for me, so don't go trying to steal them." the Doctor snapped as he glared at the screwdriver.
"Anyways, he can help her get back on her feet in no time." Turning to the four boys "Would you mind showing me the way to the Great Hall? It has been a long time since I last walked these halls." she walked out with the four boys, followed by Madam Pomfrey.
Once they left, the Doctor pulled out a vial of bluish-black liquid and poured it into her mouth. After a few minutes, Jess woke up and groaned.
"Good morning, sunshine." the Doctor smiled once he saw her eyes open.
"Dad? Why am I in the Infirmary?"
"You took a nasty fall last night."
"Oh." Jess sat up in the bed.
"Do you feel well enough to go to class today?" the Doctor asked as he watched her carefully.
"Yes. All I have today is Charms, Herbology, and double Potions with Slytherin."
"Very well then. Let's get you to the Great Hall." the Doctor smiled as he watched her bounce out of bed, and rush to the neatly folded uniform on the chair next to the changing screens.
When the Doctor and Jess entered the Great Hall, Jess had her robes on, and the Doctor had exchanged his suit for traditional black wizard robes. Once Jess was seated, and the Doctor was seated in his chair at the Professor's table the Headmistress held up a hand. Once the room was quiet she said "As I'm sure all of the school knows, we are in very troublesome times. Last night the Chamber of Secrets was re-opened and Mr. Filch's cat was petrified. To investigate this matter, I have asked John and Doctor Smith, along with his wife Rose Tyler-Smith to investigate along side both Mycroft and Sherlock Holmes and John Watson. Professor Watson will be assisting Madam Hooch with flying lessons and refereeing Quidditch matches."
Harry whispered to Ron "I hope that John is prepared to deal with a miniature Lily Evans on the Quidditch pitch."
Ron sniggered as Hermione shushed them, trying to hear what else the Headmistress was saying.
"Professor Sherlock Holmes will be replacing Professor Lockheart, who has seemingly vanished." she waited for the cheers to die down before continuing. "Professor Mycroft Holmes will be taking over as Deputy Headmaster and will be in charge of the Dueling Club." She looked at Donna, who nodded before she continued. "And the Doctor, along with his brother will be using Ligilimens to screen all of the students and staff. We will be starting with the Seventh year students and staff. The Prefects will be notified of the order of houses and years so that we can do this as quickly as we can. But for now, it is breakfast, so eat up."
While Harry waited for Ron to finish, he talked to Hermione about their new professors.
"So, why did you start to hyperventilate when you saw who our new DODA Professor was announced?"
Hermione blushed "Professor S. Holmes is well known in the muggle world for his work as a consulting detective. And he's my godmother's tenant."
Both students jumped when from behind them a deep baritone voice said "Yes, I suppose I am."
"Professor Holmes! We didn't hear you come out of the Hall!" Hermione exclaimed as she saw the tall professor behind them.
"Hello, Hermione." Professor Watson said with a grin as he stepped from behind Sherlock.
"Hello, Professor." Hermione grinned, and Harry could almost feel the happiness emanating from her smile.
"Careful, 'Mione. You're broadcasting your emotions again." Sherlock mock-scolded her.
"Yes, sir. I'm just happy to see my godmother's two honorary sons." Hermione paused, and thought for a moment before asking "How is Martha?"
"Mrs. Hudson is fine. Molly will be joining Sherlock here soon." John said as he elbowed Sherlock, who blushed.
"No." Hermione stared as John grinned "He didn't." Sherlock's blush deepened as he tried to control his emotions.
"No. She did." John guffawed as he explained "Sherlock was sitting alone in the morgue with Molly, and she showed him two rings and said 'Will you marry me?'"
"And I said yes because I was going to ask her at her birthday party anyways." Sherlock cut in before he could be embarrassed by his long-time friend and blogger.
Hermione giggled before looking at the time and exclaiming "Harry! We're going to be late to Potions!" She grabbed his hand and pulled him down the hall.
"It was nice meeting you, Professors!" Harry called as he was forced to keep up with Hermione.
John chuckled as he watched Sherlock.
"What?" Sherlock asked John once he'd broken out of his reverie.
"Oh, nothing. Oh, look. It's Professor Noble, and I'm late for teaching my first class." John said before disappearing down one of the side-corridors that lead to the quidditch pitch.
"Hello, Donna." Sherlock said as he walked towards both of their classrooms.
"Hello, Sherlock." Donna said back as she walked with him. They walked in silence, each trying to think of what to say.
"Where did you go for three years?" Sherlock said once they reached her classroom.
"I traveled with Rose, Doctor, and John." She shrugged, not willing to go into many details about what happened.
"So you and John..."
"Oh, goodness no! That human Papercut? No way would I ever!" Donna exclaimed.
"Oh. Well, I'd better get ready for my first class."
"Did you and Molly finally get together? You've both been making cow eyes at each other since our fourth years."
"We're engaged." Sherlock smiled. "Molly wanted me to tell you that she wants you to be Maid of Honor, and that she won't take no for an answer."
Donna laughed "Well then, I guess that means Rose is going to be making everyone's clothes."
Sherlock's face went pale and he excused himself. Donna chuckled before going into her office to prepare for her next class.
