Chapter 2: The Doctor
The next day, Hermione was looking for Autumn, before coming to the conclusion that she was gone. She told Harry about it.
"Y'know, Ron went missing too." Harry said.
"Really?" Hermione asked.
"Yeah. He was in his bunk last night, but this morning, he wasn't there. I first thought that he went to breakfast, but he usually wakes me up."
Hermione looked puzzled. So now, people were vanishing from their beds. Great.
Harry had completely forgotten about the strange people that had appeared last night. He even didn't see the blue box that morning in the common room. But he least expected to see a empty seat at the staff table.
"What happened to Umbridge?" Harry asked.
"I'm not sure." Hermione responded.
"Maybe she quit?"
"The Ministry forced her to come here. I think she can't just quit."
Several~Hours~Earlier~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Doctor and Rose walked to the gargoyle that requested a password to enter Dumbledore's office.
"Password." The gargoyle said.
"Doctor, do you know the password?" Rose asked.
"I think so." He responded.
"Lemon Drop." The Doctor tried the password.
The gargoyle stepped out of the way to allow them a staircase to walk up. They got up to Dumbledore's office and knocked.
"Enter." They heard Dumbledore say.
They entered the office. The Doctor saw Dumbledore and was immediately ecstatic.
The Doctor walked over to Dumbledore. "Headmaster Dumbledore! It's a pleasure!" The Doctor said, shaking his hand.
"Ah, Doctor. My old friend! Where has the time gone?" Dumbledore said.
"It hasn't gone anywhere. Just the time vortex." The Doctor responded.
"Ah. I forgot! You are a Time Lord. Who's this?" Dumbledore added, referring to Rose.
"Rose, this is Dumbledore. Dumbledore, this is Rose Marion Tyler."
"You didn't have to say my whole name!" Rose said. She was blushing.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Rose." Dumbledore said.
"So, you sent me a message through my psychic paper. What do you need, old friend?" The Doctor said.
"I have a open position, and I thought you would like to have it."
"What is it in?"
"Defense against the dark arts. I haven't been able to keep someone in that position for more than one year ever since Harry Potter came."
"Is Voldemort back?" The Doctor asked.
"Yes. He returned last year. Barty Crouch Jr did too." Dumbledore responded.
"But he got the dementor's kiss. It should have killed him dead."
"He survived. But we took care of him."
"He'll do it." Rose said and smiled.
