Doctor in the House chapter 7

AN: I haven't updated in months because I have been very busy. SADLY I am no longer with boyfriend Andrew Clark (again!) we broke up three times. Anyway on with the story we learn a little more about the Doctors encounter at Hogwarts last time and evil is stirring in Hogwarts, will someone else vanish?

Don't own the Doctor or Rose or HP characters.

Here it is! Please R&R

Rose and the Doctor were led down the winding corridors of Hogwarts and there was not a sound to be heard except for the flickering heat of the torches lit every few paces down the hallways. The halls were chilly and hollow with doors to different rooms along each side of the corridors. Pandora led the Doctor and Rose up a flight of stairs with Professor Clark following behind.

'What are you doing here then Doctor,' Professor Clark asked catching up with him 'I know who you are,'

'Well Professor Clark, it's not hard to figure out who I am. I told you, I'm the Doc-'

'Doctor, of course but when you're ready to reveal who you really are maybe you and I should have a little chat,' Professor Clark said coldly as they reached the bottom of a flight of stairs, Pandora and Rose had reached the top of the tower already. As the Doctor turned away from Professor Clark, he felt the wizard grab his arm.

'Would you mind getting your filthy hands of me,' the Doctor said coolly

'Think about what I said Doctor, I know who you are. And you best behave yourself, I know all about the last time you came to Hogwarts. Don't want a repeat of last time now do we,' Professor Clark added angrily. And he quickly released the Doctors arm and called up goodnight to Pandora and Rose before he left swiftly.

'Goodnight Doctor, sweet dreams,' Andrew added coldly.

The Doctor stared after him, slightly puzzled and Rose suddenly appeared at his side wanting to know why he was taking so long in climbing up the tower. He looked rather thoughtfully for a minute and then back down the corridor from whence they came. He stared down the corridor where Professor Clark had walked and said

'I know him from somewhere,' the Doctor said thoughtfully and then shook his head 'in my line of work your bound to meet people you've met somewhere before, right Rose,'

'Whatever you say Doctor,' Rose shrugged 'look we're going to have to share a bed, not a problem is it? Only Pandora can't get the other room open.'

'Wizards,' the Doctor chuckled and followed Rose up the stairs.

They came to the top of the tower and to a small circular room that once looked like it had belonged to an ageing witch; there were lamps covered in cobwebs and shades covered in pink lace and beads. There was a dimly lit fire in the heart and candles around the room glowing red and blue and there was little light coming into the room but Pandora assured them that there would soon be light. She instantly cleaned the windows with a flick of her wand and the room was slightly brighter as the moons beam shone into the room.

Pandora bid the Doctor and Rose goodnight and left them alone. The night air was still and the Doctor perched on the edge of the sofa bed that was big enough for two but looking at Rose he said

'I'm not the world's biggest sleeper so you take the bed,'

'What are we doing here?' Rose asked determinedly

'Well, something is attacking students and there is no explanation. And last time I was at Hogwarts there were a few complications. And something similar like this happened last time and it may have been as a result, my fault.' The Doctor explained 'I persuaded a certain individual that the way to get power was to start young, I was an idiot, I didn't know what I was doing,'

'This wizard told me he wanted to help the school, said he was getting bullied and that he needed to fight back.' The Doctor explained, Rose moved to the windowsill and her face was illuminated by the moonbeam incoming through the window. 'I told him power and determination would push away the bullies, I didn't expect him to conjure something evil,'

'Evil,' Rose asked 'how do you mean evil?'

'Well, a snake, something incomprehensible that can kill you by looking you in the eye, I remember I signed a note allowing a list of books to be taken out from a special part of the library. I was responsible, Rose, but I left Hogwarts before anyone could find out and-'

Rose sighed and perched herself on the window seat looking at the Doctor then out the window.

'This seems all so magical, unreal even. I mean I've been to the ends of the earth, galaxies far away and met aliens millions of years in the future. But this, this is different. For all this evil you say exists, all I feel is magic' Rose said staring out the window wistfully.

'Rose, this is a school full of magic; you may see things here that you've never seen before. And if these disappearances continue you may see things you wish not to see.' Doctor explained heavily he leant back on the sofa bed and staring across at Rose he added 'but then again you're always prepared for anything,'

Rose drifted over to the couch and sat next to the Doctor who was looking tired but refused to take the couch and insisted one of the old cushy armchairs covered in dust by the fireplace.

In the deepest and darkest part of the castle a new monster was starting to stir and as it rose a terrified scream rang through the bowels of Hogwarts…
