Chapter 20: Raxotali 53527

The Doctor paced his classroom. Harry and Hermione were sitting at desks, watching him.
"Professor Smith, don't worry. We're worried too." Hermione said.
"Just call me the Doctor." The Doctor said, continuing to pace.
The room continued to be silent. Hermione looked at the desk, her hair obstructing her view. Harry was gazing at the TARDIS, which sat behind the mobile blackboard.
"What's the blue box behind the blackboard?" Harry asked.
The Doctor looked at him. "The TARDIS. And it's mine."
"What's in it?" Hermione asked, joining the conversation.
"Oh," the Doctor walked to the blackboard and pushed it out of the way. "Wanna look?"
Harry and Hermione looked at each other.
"But would it be a bit... intimate?" Hermione asked.
"Oh, just go in." The Doctor said.
Harry and Hermione got up and walked to the TARDIS. The Doctor pushed the door open.
Harry entered first and looked around the console room in amazement.
"It's.. it's..." Harry tried to say.
"Bigger on the inside. I know." The Doctor said as he came into the TARDIS.
Hermione stepped in and had to run out a few times to take the whole, 'Bigger on the inside' thing.
"But..These should only exist for tents in the wizarding world." Hermione said.
"It's Time Lord science!" The Doctor ran around the console.
"Um, what are you doing?" Harry asked.
"Oh, just taking you for a trip. It will take the tests off of our minds."
The TARDIS doors closed and the TARDIS began to take off. Harry and Hermione looked very impressed by this discovery of their teacher.
"Where are we going?" Hermione asked.
"Raxotali 53527. With trees that smell like maple syrup and buildings as tall as the sky. Chocolate that melts in your mouth, and, more importantly, adventure!" The Doctor babbled.
Harry touched one of the corals. Hermione looked like she felt something unusual.
"Um, Doctor? Is your ship alive?" Hermione questioned.
"Yes. And she's called the TARDIS." The Doctor responded.
"Why did you call the ship a 'Her'?" Harry asked.
"Well, she's a girl." The Doctor responded.
"How do you know that?" Hermione asked.
"Oh, I just know it. And.. we're here!"
"So, 'The Doctor' is your name?" Harry asked.
"Yes."
"Doctor who?"
"Just, 'The Doctor'."
The Doctor led them down to the doors and took them outside.
"What happened to your classroom? It just disappeared!" Hermione questioned.
"We left. Welcome to Raxotali 53527." The Doctor said.
Harry stepped out and looked around in awe. Hermione was, for once, speechless as she tried to figure out how they had gotten from Hogwarts, a school for witches and wizards in Scotland, to a planet far from the milky way galaxy in a matter of seconds.
"And... this is real, right? You didn't take us to some movie set that happens to be shooting a new alien movie and this is what they came up with?" Hermione finally asked.
"Yes. This is real. And to prove it..."
The Doctor led them to the nearest tree and told them to inhale the scent of it deeply.
"Maple syrup! You weren't lying!" Hermione responded excitedly.
"Oi! Would I ever lie to you?" The Doctor asked.
"Why would you? This place is brilliant!" Harry explained.
The Doctor gave a stupidly large grin and started walking with Harry and Hermione in tow.
After walking for a bit as the Doctor went on and on about the planet, it was decided that they should return to Hogwarts to see the test results. After getting their minds off of the tests, they had to get back on them.
And before they left the TARDIS, the Doctor gave them each a TARDIS key.

A/N: Just a filler chapter, but it was fun writing with Harry and Hermione first entering their teacher's big, blue box that was in their classroom for the longest time and going to a distant planet. I also decided that the Doctor during Donna's time as a companion should come out. Well, see you next chapter!
