Chapter 9: Grimmald Place
The Doctor woke up in a bed and was surrounded by children, something he was not expecting.
"Um, hello." He said.
"Mum! He's awake!" A boy with flaming red hair said. But frankly, they all looked the same.
"Oh, good!" A female voice yelled from downstairs.
Thumping was heard from the stairway and a head appeared from the doorway.
"Hello dear! I hope you feel better!" She said. "I'm Molly Weasley, by the way." She continued.
"I'm the Doctor."
"My, you're thin. You must be starving. I'll get you something to eat. Goddess knows how long you have been in that forest."
Everybody left the room and the Doctor looked around the room he was in.
It was white, with a brown dresser. Moving pictures and all.
He looked at the ceiling, that appeared to be falling in on itself.
Molly Weasley..The Burrow! I'm in the Burrow! Or Grimmald place. The Doctor thought.
"Doctor?"
"Rose?"
Rose's head appeared from the doorway.
"Doctor! You're okay! I was so worried about you and then the Christmas break started and..I was so worried about you!" Rose said as she rushed over to the bed and hugged the Doctor.
"How did I get here?" The Doctor asked.
"Well, I got on the Hogwarts express in hopes of finding you, and I saw you faint. The express stopped and the Weasley twins helped me put you on the train. Then, Mrs Weasley offered to take us in since we had nowhere else to go."
"Rose Tyler, you're a star."
"But, why did you run?"
"What?"
"When you saw that Dalek, you ran away. Why did you?"
"Well, you know me and Daleks. Always at war with each other."
"But you don't just run from a Dalek. It didn't even say a word to you."
Luckily, Mrs Weasley came in with a steaming bowl of stew with a chunk of bread.
"Here you are, dear. This is probably your first proper meal in a while now." Mrs Weasley said.
The Doctor took it and tucked in.
"Mmm.. thanks Mrs Weasley." The Doctor said.
"Your welcome dear." She responded as she left the room.
As the Doctor ate, Rose filled him in on everything else that happened when he ran off.
Several Hours later
The Doctor yawned.
Rose had told him so much about her experience of his run. It had to be at least nine to midnight, and Rose showed no sign of stopping.
"And then, Dumbledore said to attack the zygon,and.. Doctor, oh.."
The Doctor had fallen asleep.
"Goodnight." She said as she left the room.
A/N: I thought that somewhere in Grimmald Place there had to be a painted room that didn't look like a old grimy castle. So yeah. Chapter 10 out soon!
