Fingernails scratched against the door, and I knew we were in trouble. The Doctor, to my surprise didn't look particularly flustered, but simply turned to Draco.
"Could you find this box again?"
"I guess…" Draco shrugged. "It's down in the girls toilets, in the sewers, I think."
"The Chamber of Secrets!" I yelled; of course! But the fangirls were still outside, waiting to get in…
"How will we get past-" I gestured to the door "-them?"
"Oh!" said the Doctor, "I can fix that..." he ran down some stairs, "… With this!" He held up a mangy-looking robot cat. " K "
"What does it do?" asked Draco, who looked wholly bored by the situation.
"Well… assuming it's you they want, we can program it to release some Drake pheromones so that they will follow this decoy!"
"It looks nothing like me"
"Doesn't need to, it will produce a hologram image of you that only they can see." We slowly opened the door and pushed K into the squabble of girls, who immediately screamed in enjoyment and started chasing after it into the corridor ahead.
The Doctor put a finger to his lips and tiptoed out of the TARDIS. Obviously, Draco made a big show of it, clenching his hands in front of him like a mincing rabbit and taking inch-long steps. I rolled my eyes, but even once we got into the corridor he didn't stop. Until he walked into one of the Hogwarts statues.
One that I hadn't seen before…
An angel…
The Doctor froze mid-step. "Whatever you do, Draco, don't blink"
