Chapter Twelve: The Only Water in the Forest...

'Except they don't have a word for pond. The only water in the forest is the river. The Doctor will find your daughter. And he will care for her, whatever it takes. And I know that. It's me. I'm Melody. I'm your daughter.' River Song, A Good Man Goes to War

'Hmmmm hmmm hmmm...' Melody Pond, better known to her friends (and family) as River Song, hummed a haunting Gallifreyan lullaby to herself as she flipped idly through her TARDIS shaped diary, but stopped dead when she realised what was coming. It was time to visit Hogwarts, it was time for Harry Potter's Time of Angels...

WEEEEEEEEOWWWWWW!

A security alarm blared all through the galaxy's only ultra-maximum security prison asteroid, Stormcage, as once again River Song packet her things into her various dimensionally transcendental pockets, slipping out of her cell, activating her vortex manipulator as she went, setting the temporal coordinates, and then in a harsh, white, electric flash and puff of smoke, River Song disappeared from the prison.

River Song landed deep within a forest, next to a rather muddy, fast flowing river. She smirked as she mused out loud, 'Me, in the forest, by a river...how ironic.' She looked around to get her bearings, then walked forwards towards Hogwarts, and her husband, parents and her pseudo-semi-sorta-unofficially-adopted-son-amajigamy. She shook her head, she had to stop thinking about Harry like that, the way that the Doctor had described their relationship, and wondered where he was in his timeline right now.

At breakfast, Harry and Lucy stood at the head table both having an animated conversation with the Doctor about their plans for the Christmas holidays, which planets and which time streams, which universes, all the important details, Professor Snape listening in with interest, although trying hard to not look so, when the doors to the great hall flung open with a loud bang, and the two Time Lords could she the silhouette of a frizzy haired well proportioned woman. They both turned to each other with a smirk. 'River!' they said in unison, Harry adding, 'The three of us in one room, plus the Master, this is going to be trouble' although he looked strangely pleased at the prospect.

'HELLLO HOGGGWARTTTTSSS!' River yelled, much like how a rock star would at a concert, and the students all around the tables looked on confusedly, while Harry and the Doctor just shook their heads in bemusement.

Finally Harry stood up straight, 'Hello, River! Your mum and dad are going to be down in just a moment.' He called with a smirk as he anticipated the reaction from the assembled students, and got it, as they looked around confusedly trying to figure out which professors were this...woman's parents.

Things got even better for Harry as Amy and Rory walked in at that moment and River jumped up and down like a little kid, playing along with Harry's game, 'Hi Mummy, hi Daddy!' she yelled running over to hug them both. Harry and the Doctor couldn't hold it in any more and both burst out laughing at the display River was putting on, and the obvious confusion of the student body.

After the entertainment at breakfast, Harry, the Doctor and River synchronised their diaries as Amy, Rory and Harry's friends watched on. Finally, Neville gave into confusion and asked, 'What are they doing?'

'They're time travellers. They never meet in the right order. So... they are synchronising their diaries.' Rory said triumphantly, remembering the time the Doctor had been "killed" by an earlier version of River as an older version of River watched on, being glad of, for once, being the one in the know about these things.

'So have you found your family, Harry?' River asked one final question to finish the "syncing".

'Yes, I have. You may address me as Your Royal Highness The Prince Harry James Charles Louis, Duke of Gryffindor, Marquess Potter and Peverell, Earl of Monmouth, Baron Evans.' Harry replied, making a show of acting pompous, even going so far as use his wand to conjure several Union Flags and music floated in from the ether, the sound of God Save the Queen.

'Oh of course, Your Highness.' River giggled, over exaggerating a curtsy. 'I do think you went just a little bit over the top there.'

'Damn! I've been practising that all week! A little too over the top?' He whined.

'Just a little.' River nodded, holding her hand up with her index finger and thumb a few millimetres apart.

'So why exactly are you here, dear Melody Pond?' Harry asked his long time friend, and as he and the Doctor had not long ago discovered, wife of the Doctor.

'I'm a bit early...' River started, before adding under her breath, 'unlike some people I know.' Harry snorted at this, and River continued. 'My sources tell me that this year is a big temporal tipping point and that you will need all the help you can get here. Anyway, how's that girlfriend of yours...Lucy?' River asked with a knowing smirk.

'HARRY'S NOT MY BOYFRIEND!' Lucy yelled from beside Harry before crossing her arms and pouting.

'Yet.' River interjected, causing both Harry and Lucy to blush, but neither denied it, leading to a large smirk from every other occupant of the room.

'Harry heard it too Headmaster! There are mysterious voices in the walls! This is not a good sign! Are. You. Investigating?' The Doctor asked Albus Dumbledore, who looked, as usual, infuriatingly calm.

'I am fully aware of that my dear Doctor, and I am investigating, but this school is very large and I don't pretend to know every inch of it...' was Dumbledore's only response and the Doctor left the knowledgeable but infuriating man to his musings.

§Speak to me, Slytherin, Greatest of the Hogwarts Four§ The young girl hissed to the statue of Slytherin and the mouth slowly opened and the beast emerged. The girl stared impassive, her eyes rolled back in her head, only the whites of her eyes showing.

The large basilisk slid past the girl, ready to protect the school, but then a blast of pure magic was released from within the young girl, and the basilisk instantly became a killer, its primary mission pushed to the back of it mind, its sentience forgotten.

Within the mind of the girl, the sentience of Tom Riddle's diary smirked as he thought of the damage he could cause, the havoc he could wreak at Hogwarts.

Harry and Lucy sat under a weeping willow far away from the prying eyes of Hogwarts Castle as Hedwig sat above them as if she could protect them from anything that would invade their privacy.

Lucy was once again thinking about her family (it was her father's birthday after all) and crying, her head on Harry's shoulder and neither one of them noticed the small lady beetle which flew around their heads before flying away in the direction of the outer walls. Slowly but surely, Lucy's sobs abated, and Harry started to stand up, saying, 'C'mon Lu, we better head up to the dorms. We have classes tomorrow.'

Lucy just nodded her head, wiping her eyes as Harry wrapped his arms around her shoulders and guided her towards Gryffindor Tower.

The next morning Harry was eating his toast and marmalade when Hermione thrust the morning edition of the Daily Prophet into his hands and he was able to look at the front page as Lucy leaned over curiously and both opened their mouths in shock.

LOVING BY THE LAKE
by Rita Skeeter, special correspondent

Following the story from June this year, this reporter can reveal that the destiny bonded pair, the Duke of Gryffindor and Lucy Pevensie-Potter, continue to grow closer, leading to speculation that a magical bond marriage between the two is very close to coming to fruition. The young pair of Gryffindor lions were last night seen down on the edge of Hogwarts Lake, where it seemed that the second eldest grandchild of Her Majesty the Queen was comforting a tearful Miss Pevensie-Potter, some sources suggesting this was due to a spate of recent disagreements with the youngest son of The Earl Weasley, who is currently serving as Senior Undersecretary to the Minister for Magic.

The rest of the page was taken up by a large wizarding photo of the two down by the lake, and both second years looked puzzled at how the reporter could have gotten the picture, as they had not seen anyone down by the lake at all. Slowly, more and more students turned to look at the two Gryffindors. Harry and Lucy looked around at everyone staring at them, then blushed, looking at each other, conveying the same silent message, why us? After about five minutes, they both were tired of the stares, and both stood, leaving the Great Hall to get their books for first class, which was Charms with the Ravenclaws.
