The Doctor held up a small metal object, it glinted in the sunlight, a small, emerald green badge with a long snake engraved on the front, on the bottom in tiny print read 'SLYTHERIN'
That afternoon a very cross blonde haired boy could be seen storming down the corridors, pushing the smaller children out of the way as he went
"This stupid bloody school with the ridiculous professors and terrible rules! Who cares if I didn't do my homework? McGonagall can shove it up her-"
The boy stopped his furious stream of thoughts as he arrived at his destination. He was on the 7th floor of Hogwarts School, opposite the tapestry of Barnabas the Barmy teaching trolls to ballet. He stopped and took a deep breath.
"I need a way to get out of this school. I need a way to get out of this school. I need a way to get out of this school." He opened his eyes and in front of him was a large wooden door. He looked over his shoulder and quickly slipped inside
As the boy stepped into the room he looked around. The room was virtually empty except for a book shelf on the far wall and a large blue box in the middle of the room. He stepped towards the box and read aloud;
'POLICE BOX, PUBLIC CALL..? police?"
He knew he had heard the word before, and then it came to him, he let out a hiss "muggle"
He stepped back from the box in disgust and swept out of the room without even touching the humming blue box that was infact, the furthest thing from 'muggle' in the universe.
Just before he slammed the door behind him he felt a sudden gust of wind and heard a strange metallic thrumming noise that was quickly muffled by the heavy wooden door. The boy put his hand in his pocket, intending to put on his prefect badge but it wasn't there, he frowned and walked briskly away, still searching his pockets.
"'Slytherin'" Muttered Amy Pond
"Sounds quite sinister to me!"
Fred Looked at Amy with a serious expression on his face "It is. Well as sinister as a school full of under aged wizards can get." The doctor frowned
"It's nothing to do with Durmstrang is it?" He looked worried.
"No, No. Hogwarts actuall-" The Doctors clapped his hands together "Hogwarts! Yes good old Armando Dippet, no actually probably not.. What year is it again?"
"2012"
"Oh, yes so that makes it... Dumbledore!
Suddenly the air was filled with electricity and a metallic thrumming noise. Amy and the doctor looked at each other and grinned "Here she comes!" laughed the doctor as a Blue box slowly appeared next to them.
Fred was astounded, How could it be possible that this doctor knew the previous and current headmaster of Hogwarts when he looked so young?
Fred shook his head in disbelief "So this is what you were looking for, What is it?"
The Doctor Frowned "She's my TARDIS, My transport. So, coming with us?" The Doctor didn't wait for a reply he had already grabbed Amy's hand
"Well Alright but i don't see how we're going to all fit in this, never mind travel.." Muttered Fred as he followed them into the blue box.
"Wow! This is- But.. you're not a wizard so how is this.. you know..?"
"Bigger on the inside?" Grinned the doctor "I might as well be a wizard, Right Amy?"He asked haughtily.
Amy rolled her eyes and turned to Fred "So what do you think?" She gestured around the TARDIS "Pretty cool, eh?"
"Definitely" murmured Fred, twisting one of the handles on the control panel. Suddenly they were all thrown sideways and the Blue box began to hum, Amy didn't seem concerned by this so Fred guessed it was how it 'travelled'
For a short while Fred just half stood-half sat on the floor waiting for the box to stop throwing them around. With a jerk the TARDIS stopped moving and all was quiet.
"Where are we?" Asked Amy.
"I don't know. Wherever the TARDIS was while we were looking for her, let's go find out shall we?" Replied the Doctor, merrily jumping toward the exit, Fred shook his head
"So we've moved from Diagon alley?"
"Yep"
"But how?"
Amy laughed "You're a wizard right? Stop acting so surprised and let's go!"
The Doctor, Amy Pond and Fred Weasley stood in a large room with a high ceiling. The room was very bare apart from a small shelf on the wall containing several books.
"Interesting" Said the doctor, Fred frowned. He though it was the opposite of interesting but he didn't say anything. The doctor pulled out a small rectangular object with a glowing green light on the end and started pointing it around the room then looking at it closely.
After a few minutes off scanning the doctor cried out "Of course! Marvellous! Come along, Pond, I know exactly where we are!"
With that, the Doctor made his way to a patch of wall on the far side off the room, and pushed on it. To Fred's amazement it moved aside and the doctor strode out and shouted "Brilliant!"
Amy laughed and followed the doctor, Fred lagged behind "Come along pond?" He muttered to himself "What the hell is he on about?" Fred stopped suddenly. He was stood in the 7th floor corridor of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
"Oh my... Well this explains the Slytherin badge.." Said Fred quietly.
"That explains the badge. Does it?" Asked the doctor
"I haven't been here in ages..." Said Fred quietly, running his hand across the wooden banister "Slytherin is one of the four houses of Hogwarts."
"Of course, I should know. I was only here for a flying visit last time though, Never payed much attention to the schooling..."
Suddenly Doors were flung open and students in long black robes started pouring out off rooms, Some apparently recognised Fred as they slapped him on the shoulder or shouted things like "Those skiving snack boxes are ace Fred, I owe you one!"
Fred grinned happily and chatted with them all until slowly the crowds began to disperse. The doctor and Amy stood looking at Fred for a moment.
"What?" He asked confusedly
"You're not exactly new here, are you?" Said the Doctor, It was more of a statement than a question
"Ermm, No" Fred had to stop himself from laughing, He and his brother had practically run Hogwarts a few years ago. Those were the days.
"Good, so you can take us to Dumbledore's office?"
"Right this way!" Encouraged Fred, dramatically gesturing to his right with his arm. Being back at Hogwarts made him feel lively again.
"Sherbet lemon?" tried Fred hopelessly, He the Doctor and Amy had been trying out varieties of wizarding sweets for 15 minutes with no luck.
"I do believe the password is 'cockroach cluster' " said a quiet voice behind them.
The doctor swivelled round and looked up into the smiling face of Albus Dumbledore.
