The moment we go back in the TARDIS I'll throw Percy Jackson and the Olympians in the Doctor's head. I'm never allowing us to stay somewhere that seems like dreamland ever again, Hogwarts or not. River was fuming; it had been three weeks since she last talked with Stark and Dean and she had no progress in waking up her companions.

I'll just throw them off the Astronomy tower… The woman was losing her patience, but she didn't let it show. Mostly.

"Professor Song?" A voice came from her side; she turned her head quickly to see who had called, "Are you alright?"

River smiled, it was just Blaise Zabini, "Yes, I was just thinking of something."

"Oh, alright." The Slytherin boy nodded and left.

After their Sorting in the day they came in, River, Bruce, John and the Doctor talked with the Headmaster and managed to convince him to allow them to teach the students extra classes. So now they were Professor Song, Professor Banner, Healer Watson and Professor Smith.

The Doctor was teaching Astronomy, which wasn't really a surprise. The students loved his (her) classes, probably because when she talked half of the things she said sounded crazy, or because she actually taught them in a way that didn't make them sleep.

John was helping Madam Pomfrey in the infirmary and Bruce was teaching Physics, which had Ravenclaws (especially the Muggle-borns) thrilled. And River? Well, might as well put some wizards and witches on the move because Hogwarts finally decided to have some P.E. classes.

Honestly, how could a school only have one sport, which only the minority of the students played? That was nowhere near healthy.

People who played Quidditch didn't need to take those classes, but some did.

But that wasn't the most interesting thing that happened. Actually, the fact that River was sorted into the house of the snakes made some people weary (mostly the Golden Trio), but she gained alliances in her House. The fact that she was a teacher meant that she didn't share a dorm, she had her on quarters. But she sat with her students, and oh, the gossip she had heard!

As a fan, River's favorite character had always been Draco maybe because she knew how he felt in the Half Blood Prince? Forced to do something that he didn't want to do… rings a bell? So, well, she was trying to change the story a little bit.

River had already taught all the classes she had to for the day, the Sixth years from Slytherin and Ravenclaw were just about to leave the pitch, so she did what she had been doing for a couple of months now, "Mr. Malfoy, could you stay for a moment?"

The blonde nodded, already knowing what they were going to talk about. When everyone had already left, the boy approached her, "He is getting impatient, I don't know what to do."

"I know sweetie, but you need to stay strong. Don't worry about the "impossible" task, not everything is what it seems. But I'm helping you with the other one, am I not?" River comforted the boy. Draco was getting skinny and had dark bags under his eyes.

Draco sighed, "Yes, but… What if they hurt someone? You, or friends, or anyone else. I won't forgive myself. I may not like some people, but that doesn't mean I want them dead!"

The older woman put a hand on his shoulder, "I won't allow them to hurt anyone. I wouldn't be helping anyone if I weren't able to protect the student body." River then continued with a smirk on her face, "And my friends? They are more than able to take down Death Eaters."

Draco smiled. River smiled back before saying, "Go back to your dorm, take a shower, then go eat something and don't you dare not sleep tonight!"

"Yes, ma'am."

"Good, now go, Mr. Malfoy."

If you don't know what to do in Hogwarts, might as well find Hermione Granger for help.

And that's what River did. The girl was nowhere near as weary as her two friends, but after Umbridge, who wouldn't be weary of a Professor you know nothing about and that showed up out of thin air in the beginning of the term?

Granger was in the library, as expected, River guessed that the girl was trying to find tips to get better than Harry in Potions. "Miss Granger?"

"Professor! I'm sorry I didn't see you there" The girl said lowering the books that she had been carrying.

"It's alright." The woman said with a kind smile, "Actually, I came here seeking your help."

Hermione's eyes seemed to pop out of their sockets, "I- I- I… Professor, why me? I'm just a student, surely…"

"I came to you because I know none of the others from the staff will help me with this, but I think you can. After all, you're the brightest witch of your age." River answered and the girl blushed at the title.

"What can I help you with, Professor Song?"

River laughed, "You can drop the title Miss Granger, you may call me River."

"Then you may call me Hermione, River."

The archeologist nodded before asking, "Have you heard of a place called Lotus Casino?"

Hermione frowned, "Yes, it's from a fictional book, what about it?"

"My friends in America found a place similar, but instead of a Casino it took form of a place from a book." River lied smoothly; it wasn't a lie per see, just a distorted truth. "One of them is awake, but he can't wake the others."

"Did he try water?" Hermione asked curiously.

Yes, I did. The Doctor thought it was a completion of who dropped more water on the other. "Yes, it didn't work."

"Maybe he should try to find something of sentimental value? That could snap someone what of a trance…" The bushy haired girl said out loud, but with a thousand theories going through her head. "But where are they?"

"Narnia."

That's when Hermione's jaw hit the floor, "Seriously? But… That's not possible!"

"It is if Tricksters are involved."

"Tricksters?"

River smiled, "If I told what they were, where would be the fun in that?" The girl gaped at those words and the woman chuckled, "I'll leave you to do your research, I need to warn those friends now."

"Good luck, Professor!"

"Thank you, Miss Granger"
