Chapter 25:

The Doctor felt calm. It was as though he was floating in his mind. Every care and worry had been removed. He was care and worry free, and a slight feeling of happiness fell through him. All the fears he had had moments before had gone, and there was just calm and peace. He was acutely aware of what was going on around him. He knew he wasn't in control of his action, but that didn't matter. Right now nothing matter. He was at peace, like he hadn't been for so so long.

'So Doctor' Voldemort's voice had more than a hint of smugness in it. He had the Doctor under his control. He had won, and that was all that matter. Except, of course, revenge. And that meant 'Rose Tyler' He said. 'Bring her to me'

'Bring Rose Tyler' repeated the Doctor. 'I will bring you Rose Tyler'

'Drink this' Voldemort passed the Doctor a small flask. The flask with the polyjuice potion in. 'Drink it regularly until I see you again.'

'I'll drink it' agreed the Doctor, taking the flask and drinking some of the contents. Slowly he turned back into Alistair Moody.

'I'll see you and Miss Tyler soon won't I'

The Doctor nodded, and walked back to the castle. As he was walking he remembered that Rose was hidden at the castle, looking like a woman called Andrea. He knew he was hidden, looking like Alistair Moody. He knew that Rose, and Dumbledore were the only people who knew who they really were. But he couldn't work out why they were hidden, or why no one else knew who they really were. Oh well He shrugged. It didn't matter.

'Doctor?' Rose asked cautiously when she saw Dumbledore and Alistair come back into Dumbledore's office.

'I heard you've been worrying over nothing again, Rose Tyler' the Doctor replied. 'What we going to do with you, eh?'

'Where were you? You were ages' asked Rose.

'I just got caught up with an injured girl.' replied the Doctor. 'I'm here now. So who won?'

'What happened to her? Did you have to take her to the hospital wing?' asked Rose.

The Doctor realised Rose was quizzing him, but he couldn't work out why that was. He answered simply 'She had been hit by a curse from behind. Some other student thinking they were being funny no doubt. I wanted to take her to the hospital wing, and that's what held me up. I wanted to take her to the hospital so see for definite that she was all right, but she insisted she was fine and didn't need to go to the hospital. So after a while of trying to convincing her I insisted that if she wasn't going to go to the hospital wing then she at least had to let me check her over to check she was all right. Which I did, and she was fine' He smiled. 'So did Harry win?'

Rose shook her head. 'He came second. But he should've been last'

'Whyyyy?' The Doctor asked, and his tone convinced Rose it definitely was the Doctor, and nothing was wrong.

'He had to save Ron, right? Well he tried to save Hermione, and Fleur's sister as well' explained Rose. 'He almost didn't get himself out in time. When he did get out, the judges gave him extra points for trying to save others. So he's in second place'

'That's brilliant' The Doctor smiled. 'Well not brilliant that he almost wasn't up in time, but brilliant that he's doing so well'

'Yeah' agreed Rose.

'Rose, let's go for a walk' said the Doctor, late that evening.

'Doctor, it's getting late, we shouldn't really go out now' replied Rose.

'Ooh come on Rose. It's beautiful out. There's a full moon and the night is young' said The Doctor 'And all the witches and wizards are tucked up in bed, so there's no scary things out. Come on'

Rose giggled. 'All right then' she agreed and let him lead her out. 'Be-beautiful?' She shivered. 'More like fr-freezing'

'Rose Tyler stop moaning' the Doctor told her.

'Ju-just because you don't feel the cold at all doesn't mean I don't' replied Rose. 'Even when it's snowing real snow you still act like it's warm'

'Uh, humans' The Doctor said.

'Uh, Time Lords' said Rose in the same tone. 'Where we going anyway'

'We're wondering around aimlessly' replied the Doctor.

'So we're just doing what you do best then?' said Rose, with a smile.

'Well…yeah' The Doctor said.

'You know it's weird you looking like that' said Rose after a moment in silence. 'I got use to you looking different after the regeneration because I got that it was still you. But this is just strange because it's not you. It's just your mind. What I see isn't you. It must be the same for you looking at me, though. Knowing what you're looking at isn't Rose Tyler, it's some woman who's image I've taken for a while'

'mmm' The Doctor replied non-committedly.

Rose looked at him. 'What you thinking about?' She asked.

'Nothing' he replied honestly, as his mind was still free of any troubles. He looked around, and saw Voldemort. He smiled slightly.

'Doctor, you returned' Voldemort said, coming out of the shadows. As soon as Rose saw him she froze, then she came to her senses and went to run. 'Hold her' Voldemort said before he even had the chance to move.

'Doctor' cried Rose helplessly. 'What are you doing? Let me go'
