A/N: Third Chapter. Enjoy, and review!!

'What's the matter with her?' asked Ginny.

'She has severe shock and some signs of trauma, a deep cut on her thigh and bruising around her right wrist and waist. It looks like she was attacked,' said the Doctor. 'Can you help me get her into the TARDIS?' He undid the belt she'd fastened around her leg, and picked her up.

'Sure.' Ron and Harry helped the Doctor half-carry, half-drag her into the TARDIS, with Ginny and Hermione hovering behind them nervously.

'Oh, hurry up, the bell's going to ring soon, and everyone will come out of breakfast,' worried Hermione. They were soon all in the TARDIS, and the teenagers gazed around them in awe.

'Wow,' said Ginny.

'Cool,' said Ron, 'It looks a lot more spaceship-y inside than it does out.' The Doctor ignored them, and laid the girl down on the mesh.

'We need to get a better look at that cut,' said the Doctor.

'Here, let me,' said Ginny, pointing her wand at the girl's leg. 'Diffindo.' She cut the jeans off just above the cut. They all winced at the sight of the dirty cut that was clear against her pale skin.

'Could someone go get some robes for her? And me,' asked the Doctor. 'She can't wear these clothes, they're ruined.'

'I'll go get some,' said Harry, 'I'll use the invisibility cloak.' He walked out the TARDIS. The Doctor took off his coat and put it under the girl's head, before going over to a dark corner of the TARDIS, where he found a black coat, which must've belonged to the girl. Hermione started to clean the cut, and conjured up a clean white bandage. The Doctor chucked the coat at Ginny.

'You couldn't go through the pockets, and try and find out who she is, could you?' Ginny obliged. Ron looked around helplessly. 'Oi, you, who's in charge here, again?' asked the Doctor, pointing at him.

'Professor Dumbledore,' said Ron. 'We should probably go to him. He might know what to do.'

'Well, even if I get the TARDIS out of the energy pulse's range, it'll take at least a month to get back to normal. Flying into this pulse has really jogged its sockets, everything's gone barmy,' he said, gesturing to the flickering lights.

'You could trust him not to tell the Ministry of Magic. Or anyone else.'

'Well, when she,' he jerked his thumb at the comatose girl on the floor; 'wakes up, we should go and talk with old Albus.' Just then the TARDIS door creaked open and Harry came in, taking off the invisibility cloak and clutching sets of robes.

'I took Gryffindor robes for her, even though I didn't know what house she's in. It's easier. I got teachers robes for you. If they don't fit, we can resize them with magic.' Harry gave the larger set of robes to the Doctor, who bounded off to change. Harry went over to sit next to Ginny, who was rummaging in the girl's coat pockets.

'Find anything?' Harry asked Ginny.

'She has a muggle cell phone thingy, but it won't turn on, and a receipt, but apart from that, nothing special,' she said, and put the items back in the coat pockets. It was quiet for a while.

Ron suddenly had a disturbing thought. How did the Doctor know Professor Dumbledore's first name was Albus?

'Hey, guys…' but before he could ask them what they thought of it, the girl stirred.

'Merlin, she's waking up!' They all gathered round her.

'DOCTOR! SHE'S WAKING UP!' bellowed Ginny. The Doctor came rushing in.

'What? Oh, good.' He ran over and knelt down beside her head, just as she opened her eyes.

'Wha... whoa, head rush,' the girl said, as she tried to get up. 'Who are all you people?' she asked. She sat up slowly, and felt her thigh, wincing slightly, but surprised when she felt the bandage.

'Here's your belt,' said the Doctor, handing it to her.

'Oh, thanks,' she said, taking it from him. 'Sorry about that, but it hurt like hell, and I couldn't think of anything else to d… what the hell have you done to my jeans?' she yelped.

'Oh, yeah, sorry,' said the Doctor. 'We had to look at your cut.'

'Damn, they were my favourite,' she sighed.

'What's your name?' asked Hermione.

'Bree,' said the girl (A/N: Who shall now be referred to as Bree, rather than the girl, which you are probably sick of. I know I am).

'So, Bree, how did you end up in the TARDIS?' asked the Doctor, cheerfully, standing up and offering Bree a hand to help her up. She took it, and stood.

'I was being chased…' she tailed off, and shuddered. 'Anyway, the box, or TARDIS, whatever this thing…'

'This thing!' yelped the Doctor.

'Is,' said Bree, ignoring him, 'moved! Not that I'm in a particular hurry to get home, but anyway… have you got anything else I could wear? I feel a bit strange with half my jeans missing.' Harry handed her the robes, which she pulled over her head. 'Thanks.'

'Well now we need to go and see Professor Dumbledore,' said Harry, 'He'll know what to do.' Everyone agreed, even Bree, although she had no idea who this 'Dumbledore' was. Then Hermione shrieked.

'Oh merlin! Transfiguration started ages ago! Professor McGonagall's going to kill us!'

'Don't worry, Dumbledore'll sort us out,' reasoned Ron, putting an arm around her shoulders. With Hermione placated, they all trouped out the TARDIS, and waited for the Doctor to lock it.

'So, what're all your names? You know mine, after all.'

'I'm Ginny, this is Harry,' she patted him on the shoulder, making him blush yet again that day, which was very unusual for him, 'Hermione, my gormless brother Ron, and this is the Doctor, who we've only just met.'

'Hello,' waved the Doctor. Then Harry smacked himself on the head. Everyone looked at him strangely.

'We've all forgotten! Dumbledore's not here, remember?' Everyone groaned in unison.

'Going to his office to check wouldn't hurt though, would it?' asked Ron, hopefully.

'We could send a message with Fawkes!' said Ginny, excitedly.

'Fawkes?' asked Bree.

'A phoenix,' the Doctor explained.

'Ahh,' she said, 'I see.' Even though she didn't.

'Might as well, I suppose,' said Hermione, 'I don't fancy bursting into the Transfiguration classroom with these two,' she gestured to the Doctor and Bree, 'half an hour late. McGonagall might just fry us alive.' They continued to Dumbledore's office.

They reached the gargoyle, and Hermione looked annoyed.

'Oh no, we don't know the password…'

'Fizzing Whizzbees,' said Harry, and the gargoyle jumped aside.

'Nice one, Harry,' said Ron appreciatively, as they stepped onto the moving staircase.

'This is like an escalator,' said Bree. Ron looked confused, and was about to ask what an escalator was when they reached the landing. Harry immediately jumped off and strode over to the door to the headmaster's office. Without knocking first, he opened it and walked inside. Ron and Hermione looked nervously at each other, not quite at ease with just walking into Dumbledore's office. The Doctor looked around interestedly as he entered, as did Bree.

'Oh. Hello, Professor,' said Harry, startled, seeing the old man sitting in his chair behind his desk. Harry stopped abruptly, causing a comical pile-up behind him. Ginny, who had been behind him, bumped into his back, but was unable to move away due to Hermione behind her, who was walked into by Ron, followed by the Doctor. The only one to escape the jam was Bree, who nimbly jumped to the side, and she creased up at the sight, as they all ended up on the floor.

Fawkes, who was on his perch by Dumbledore's desk, suddenly took flight, and soared over to Bree's shoulder. Her eyes were wide in wonder as she stroked the beautiful bird.

'Ouch,' said a very grumpy-looking Ron, who got up, groaning. Dumbledore smiled at the scene before him.

'So what are you here for, Harry? Apart from keeping me amused, of course,' he chuckled.

'Sorry about barging in sir, but I thought you were away,' said Harry.

'Well, I was, but I came back,' said Dumbledore. Bree giggled. The Doctor glanced at her, amused, before offering his hand to Dumbledore.

'Hello, Albus,' he said.

'Hello, Doctor. I was wondering when I would see you again,' Dumbledore smiled, and took his hand.

'I have a bit of a problem, you see. The TARDIS crash-landed, and I need help getting it out of the energy pulse, and somewhere to stay while it recuperates. Oh, and Bree came along by mistake, so she's stuck here too.' Harry, Ron and Hermione watched this exchange with open mouths.

'What…you know him?' asked Harry, flabbergasted.

'We've met before,' said Dumbledore, 'there was a slight issue with the Time turners, and the Doctor had to help us out.'

'You shouldn't have meddled with time,' said the Doctor, sternly.

'We all learn from our mistakes,' sighed Dumbledore. 'Anyway, now it is my turn to help you. You can stay at the school while you wait for the TARDIS to recharge. You can teach any subject you're most comfortable with. Bree can stay on as a student…'

'But what if they're muggles?' asked Hermione. She then fell back, and bit her lip. 'Sorry, sir.'

'No no, it's a valid point, but I know from past experience that the Doctor, due to his alien roots, has a magical core, even if it is slightly different from our own, and a muggle would not be able to see Fawkes,' Dumbledore nodded towards Bree, who was laughing as Fawkes nuzzled her neck. She stopped abruptly, when she realized they were all looking at her.

'What?'
