Chapter 4: Destroyed
"Lake Demons? Those can't exist." Rose said.
"They shouldn't. I thought I destroyed them years ago." The Doctor responded.
"Well, what do they look like?"
"Well, erm, Lake Demons."
"Oh, come on. You can do better than that."
"Well, I've never actually seen them before."
The Doctor walked to the door of the TARDIS.
"I have to inform Dumbledore about this." He said.
Rose followed him to Dumbledore's office.
"Doctor. How was your first day?" Dumbledore asked.
"Fine. But I have more important matters to discuss with you." The Doctor said.
"What is it?"
"Lake Demons."
"No. You destroyed them."
"That's what I thought. But I was wrong."
Dumbledore stood up and walked to the door.
"Show me." He said.
The Doctor nodded and walked off, Rose behind them. They reached the lake.
"I don't see anything." Dumbledore said.
"They only show themselves by the shine of the lake. They make it look nice to swim in and they take you." The Doctor responded.
"I've seen students being taken off the bank of the lake, though." Rose said.
"Really? They got stronger." The Doctor said.
"But how?" Rose asked.
"I'm not sure." The Doctor said.
They all looked down at the lake and noticed the water was starting to slosh around.
"Doctor, why is the lake doing that?" Rose asked.
"The Demons are about to take us. Run!" The Doctor said.
They got back to the castle and went their separate ways. The Doctor went back up to his classroom and Rose followed.
"What can we do about the Demons?" Rose asked.
"Well, I'll have to remember how I did it the first time." He responded.
"The first time?"
"Well, in my ninth regeneration,before I met you, Lake Demons were taking over all the planets with water sources. Then I somehow managed to destroy their kind from doing any more harm. But I've never seen them be this powerful. How did they get more power after I destroyed them?"
"Well, you need to think, Doctor. I'll leave you to it."
"Don't go by the lake, Rose."
But she was already gone.
In the great hall...
Hermione sat waiting for Harry to come down for dinner. But while waiting, she looked at the staff table.
Everyone was there, except for professor Smith. His assistant was there, though.
Ginny sat down next to Hermione.
"Have you heard anything about the disappearances?" Ginny asked.
"No. What about you?" Hermione responded.
"Well, I think I found something." Ginny said.
"What did you find?" Harry asked as he sat down next to Hermione.
"Well, I overheard Professor Smith and Mistress Tyler talking about something called 'Lake Demons.' "
"Lake Demons?" Hermione questioned.
"Yeah. I'm not sure what they are."Ginny responded.
"Well, that's strange. The lake was the most normal thing here." Harry said. "Not that I like normal."
The food appeared, and they started eating. The three didn't say a word until dessert.
"What do you suppose these Lake Demons are doing?" Harry asked.
"Maybe Professor Smith knows about them. He seems to know everything that's out of the ordinary." Ginny said.
"I'll ask him tomorrow." Hermione said.
There were a few girls giggling about something near the group.
Dinner ended with Dumbledore saying not to go near or in the lake. After that announcement, he sent them to their common rooms.
After getting some homework done at about midnight, Harry tried going to bed. He found he couldn't sleep again. He went back down to the common room and looked at the lake. It looked like a beacon of light from where he was. But he didn't notice the crashing sound outside and the crash of a person falling.
