Ooh that sounds convenient :D
Yeah I'm glad ^^ After I finish the editing I'm going to get a post up for Magic after I get some rest since my neck is hurting a bit but that's probably because I've had a long day? I have no idea but there is a dull pain. Other than that I'm peachy! :D

The weather was chillingly cold, but it didn't seem to bother the Time Lord, his main concern was making sure Luna was comfortable. As they walked, the Doctor's voice had lessened, There was something troubling Luna, that much the man could tell, but what? He had to mentally remind himself that the witch by his side had been through a traumatic experience and was still struggling with herself emotionally, juggling two different ages from time to time. That had to have been the case, right? The Doctor's dark brown eyes pulled from the sky when she finally spoke of not getting too far ahead of themselves. Bringing his gaze down he looked to Luna a slow nod was his response to her words. What could he say really? She was conflicted, that much the man could tell. "Understood, we can take as long as you see fit, Luna" a reassuring smile touched his lips as he headed along further with her toward the lake.
The two walked and from what the Doctor saw in the distance made him a tad hesitant to continue venturing further but there was something pulling at his hearts. But it wasn't joy, in a sense it was dread. Why was he dreading moving forward? What was there? Who was with Rose? He could see her with something in her hands and a man in his robes, a professor? Why would Rose be outside by the lake with a professor? Well what she did on her own time was her business but really? That indistinguishable feeling began to weigh in the Time Lord's hearts with each step he took.
- - -
Sitting beside Rose, the hidden Time Lord pulled out his fob watch and spoke to Rose but to his surprise she plucked the watch from his grasp and stood up. The man stayed staring at his hand as if a part of his soul had been snatched up, why was that? Slowly the man arose to his feet as it seemed Rose recognized someone. As he stared to Luna Lovegood, he knew that girl instantly, but this man? He had no idea but there was definitely something about him the man couldn't put his finger on, there was a strong sense of familiarity but then again there wasn't. The hidden Time Lord's mind was doing back flips it seemed as his mind was trying to awaken certain parts of his memories that just weren't there.
The Doctor neared with Luna and sure enough, Rose wasn't happy, not even in the slightest, her tone, that look of anger, The Time Lord throughout his time did dealt with women, and their anger at times but Rose? At this moment? Well.. he'd rather take on a Dalek than face her angered spirit to be quite honest. She voiced her angered words which got the Doctor's eyes to widen and his face to contort into that of momentary confusion "What?" he looked at her with a hint of unease forming in his words. "It's not a date" he spoke immediately after her words of him being on a date with Luna "Rose, Listen to me--" but he was cut off as she continued with her fury induced tirade which by now the Doctor knew she had every right to be. It seems the Time Lord had been so 'taken' by Luna, the sparked connection they held as well as her predicament, the man wanting to help her ease from that stress and worry.
Words were exchanged between the two women, Luna's frown, Rose's anger. Sometimes the Doctor wondered why couldn't he just travel alone to avoid this? But he knew deep down that the loneliness was overwhelming and it had gotten to the point that he just couldn't handle it much longer which is why he'd asked Rose if she wanted to go with him. His mind drifted from his thoughts enough to hear Rose mention a note, she'd left him a note? Hearing her words even further the man winced a tad as the overwhelming feeling of guilt began to set in his hearts. He'd used Rose and he hadn't even made the attempt to seek her out. At that moment, he realized how badly he'd hurt, as well as used Rose. The Doctor couldn't think of anything he could say at the moment that would help soften things.
When Luna handed him his trench coat back, he took it into his hands and watched her while listening to her hurt words. Then Rose’s next explosion which pulled the Doctor’s gaze from Luna to Rose as she continued then to Luna once more. A rather painfully hurt look came over the Doctor’s face as he watched both women walk off. As he stood there, he glanced to the watch that had hit him, in Rose’s anger she had every right to have horrible aim. Yet as he stared down at the very familiar fob watch that lay upon the ground resting against his shoe he reached down and picked it up. He hadn’t bothered to look to the man Rose had mentioned, but to look at this watch? The Doctor’s hearts began to sting at the realization of what was to come. “No … this can’t be.. It just can’t be!!” a look of horror took over his eyes as his hearts began to race within his chest, thudding harshly against his rib cage.
“That was quite the scene, you've sure gotten yourself into a mess of trouble with those two” Mr. Smith neared “Mind giving me my watch back?” he extended his hand out.
The voice was far too familiar to be anyone else, the watch in his hands an exact image of his own, because it was his own just newer in a sense. Slowly the Doctor turned around and met a very recognizable face. “What are you doing here?” Slowly his left brow arched as he stared straight at the man in front of him. "You..." was all the Doctor could muster at this moment to voice at the realization of what was taking place, he knew it. "How in the hell did you get here?!" his eyes lowered to the watch as he sighed and reached up furiously beginning to comb his fingers through his hair. "of course.... Of course!! No wonder I couldn't sense you!" he'd glance between the watch and the hidden Time Lord ".. now why couldn't I remember this? Why didn‘t I see it? ... this.. this right here!" he gestured at the watch and walked right up to the man before him "Tell me, what do you know? you've opened this twice, I sensed it, what memories have come back to you?" there was silence from Mr. Smith "I'm in no mood for your silence, speak up!"
The hidden Time Lord looked to the man before him, “What?” a very confused look came over Mr. Smith as his heart rate began to quicken. “Y-You know of…”
“Yes, I know of everything. I’m the Doctor” he slowly held the watch out to the man before him “and so are you. And believe me when I say this. You must open this watch. You need to get your memories back. Because of what is to come, it's inevitable and I will need your help” when Mr. Smith took the watch the Doctor drew in a breath and spoke no more, his dark chocolate brown eyes not moving from the man’s face.
Mr. Smith took the watch as he looked at it, having listened to this man’s words, all of them to be in fact “You’re saying that I’m you? That’s absurd! And to be quite frank I don’t know what I saw. I just know there is a blue box called a TARDIS, that there is a planet with red grass and silver leaved trees.. And now you’re telling me that the life I know isn’t really what it is? That I’m not real? Me, John Smith? A charms professor here in Hogwarts doesn't truly exist?!" took a moment to try to recompose himself "... I'm sorry, Doctor, but that's just preposterous”
“Preposterous sounding or not, I know what I’m saying” the Doctor’s words were stern as he stared to the man with a slight tone of agitation in his voice “You need to open this watch”
Mr. Smith was looking to the watch and finally up to the Doctor, his blue eyes showing the same pain that the Doctor had shown during the earlier events. “I don’t need to do anything of the sort” he tucked the watch into his pocket “Good day, Doctor” not giving the man another word, Mr. Smith walked around him and headed for the castle.
“What? … you need to open that watch now!” the Doctor moved after him.
“No I don’t” answered Mr. Smith as the two men headed toward the castle but finally Mr. Smith stopped walking and turned around "You're telling me to get rid of this life that I've known since I woke up just because it would benefit you?" A rather insulted look came over the man's face "You're saying that I'm you and quite frankly with what I've seen? I'm not liking that notion too much, Doctor. Good Day" speaking no more the hidden time lord headed into the castle.
Now stunned and in fact quite hurt, the Doctor stood there looking to where the man had just been standing. He didn't know what to say, not like his words could reach the man now even if he did. The Time Lords mind began to race with a fury enraged vengeance. ’A paradox… a paradox happened… with my past incarnation… with the both of us being here… a time paradox is the dread that’s been flowing. The consequences… what are they? … I don’t want to find out but my gut is telling me I will..’ the Time Lord lifted his eyes to sky watching the snow fall. A cold feeling beginning to engulf the man from head to toe. The feeling of emptiness, loneliness was taking over. Drawing in a breath he sighed and ventured into the castle.
Once in the castle, the Doctor had so many different scenarios playing out within his mind as he ventured up the stairs. He stopped at his room for awhile taking up his own fob watch he’d left on his nightstand. It was something he normally carried with him, at least in this era to keep track of time. The Time Lord waited for a bit before venturing out, giving Rose a chance to cool down so he could explain things fully to her and the new predicament that had risen. He’d stopped short of the library, how did he know they’d be there? In a sense he didn’t but he knew if he were upset and as frustrated as they were, he’d seek out quiet solitude and the best place for that? A library. It was only Rose and Luna in there by now, the Doctor stepped in through the doorway and took his time walking toward them. The three held a momentary converse of words before Luna was on her feet and out of the library leaving Rose and Doctor alone. The tall thin man finally moving to take a seat beside his companion.
The two spoke, caught up, the Doctor giving his apology and more. Yet the topic of the new ‘doom’ that had arisen, what had actually happened, who John Smith truly was. The Doctor only hoped the man would open that watch, because in all honesty it would make things so much easier but he knew how the man felt. Not wanting to give up the life he had and the pain about his said life was made-up and simply a story. Now? The Doctor held everything of John Smith within his mind, he knew all that had happened and only now realized it all. As if his memories of the façade life had returned to him after the realization of who the hidden Time Lord was. Funny thing how that worked. After wrapping things up with Rose, the two on good terms, the Doctor went off in search of Luna, knowing she needed closure as well as an apology and self name calling to boot for what he’d done. But he just couldn’t deny himself the connection he felt with Luna. It was near magnetic from his perspective. All was said and done, in the end the Doctor was able to calm things with the two angered women yet he knew he’d have a lot of work to do rebuilding trust with them both.

The walk back to the castle was quiet, but enjoyable, the two walked arm in arm up the road back to their 'home away from home'. Well technically for Harry, Hogwarts was his home, yet deep in his heart he hoped to perhaps one day have a home with his god father. Shaking those memories from his mind he focused his attention on Hermione's words, her reassurance of his previous statement. "I'm glad you agree, Hermione" the two had ventured into the castle and since there was still time for the two to relax a bit before supper the two agreed on heading up to the library. Harry hadn't expected to find Rose with Luna there, after a momentary conversation between the two groups it was more than certain that something had happened. But what could it have been? Both women seemed very hurt.
Was it because they had no one with them for the holidays? Wouldn't Luna be able to spend it with her father? that's if the news of her change had even reached him yet. So many questions were rising in Harry's mind but it was something he didn't need to concern himself about, at least for now, he thought. But then there was Rose, with definitely no one. In a sense that brought worry and sadness to Harry's heart, to his mind as he walked with Hermione, the two heading into the Great Hall. Once seated at their table, the Great Hall was quite scarce which in a sense was quite relieving for the green eyed Gryffindor. It wasn't crowded, it was quiet, but it wasn't a nerve wracking quiet. There wasn't much conversing going on between Harry and Hermione as the boy was simmering in his thoughts of the what was happening now as well as the upcoming events.
After supper had been consumed the two headed out of the Great Hall and up to the Gryffindor Common Room, not many students of course which was expected with the school day only being halved so students could get to their carriages to the train to head for home. Surprisingly to Harry, Neville was still around but that was comforting in its own accord to have a familiar face. He joined Harry and Hermione in the common room, the three beginning to talk about the holidays to start things off on a light note yet as time progressed the D.A was mentioned. To Harry's yet again surprise Neville was interested. If Neville was interested there had to be more students that were in time right? once word got out?
In a sense that filled the boy who lived's heart with hope, that this 'army' would in turn truly work out for the best. At least Harry was holding on to hope that it would. It wasn't long after their conversation really began that Neville was up and speaking how he had detention to go to which in fact left Harry wide eyed. Neville? Detention? really? Those were definitely the questions that were roaming through the green eyed boy's eyes as he watched his friend walked out through the door. "that is truly unbelievable… I bet it was Umbridge" he sighed to Hermione before nodding in agreement to her muttered word of rubbish. That Pink menace, she really needed to go Harry only hoped that her being at the school wouldn't last much longer because frankly? it was driving the boy into madness.
Hermione's words of going to pack, then saying goodbye to Rose before they left caught Harry's attention as he turned his gaze to his friend. "You've got a very good point there Hermione, I'm more than certain she does." Rose being a girl from the future who ended up in their world and knows so much? She had to know more than she was letting them in on. Harry only hoped she'd be willing to talk as well as help. Getting to his feet he gave Hermione a smile as she squeezed his hand "Good night, Hermione. I'll see you in the morning" By the time she'd left, the entire common room was empty with only Harry now standing in front of the grand fire place. His green eyes glowing orange with the flames just feet away from him. He'd watched her leave as finally drew in a deep breath a calm smile touching his lips. A full Christmas break with Hermione in the muggle world, the idea got Harry excited for the time away from magic. He was truly looking forward to it. With a wave of his wand he dimmed the fire with an incantation before making his way up to the boy's dormitory to pack then sleep for the night.
The two walked and from what the Doctor saw in the distance made him a tad hesitant to continue venturing further but there was something pulling at his hearts. But it wasn't joy, in a sense it was dread. Why was he dreading moving forward? What was there? Who was with Rose? He could see her with something in her hands and a man in his robes, a professor?

The Master was going to be quite the handful the Doctor knew it and didn't engage the other Time Lord any further with taunting. Instead the Doctor spoke his say and stood there letting the Master speak. hearing the man's laugh yet the Doctor knew all too well that Master wasn't feeling joy in this, that his laugh was merely some kind of barrier to let others in. That was definitely something the man had to break through. There had to be a way, right? Hearing the Master's slight whimper the Doctor's Cheshire cat like grin faded as a look of concern formed in his eyes.
The Doctor's face showed no emotion but it could be seen in his dark chocolate brown eyes that he truly did care about the Master regardless of their centuries of battling each other. The last two sons of Gallifrey, they were alive but always at each other's throats but this time the Doctor had the upper hand in things. As the Master continued speak the Doctor listened to his words, a slight look of pain within the Doctor's eyes as he looked to the Master. Not moving, not flinching as the Master screamed in his face, just stood there listening.
In a sense that was true, he always had his friends, he had his lover (Rose) but now even if he lost her, she was safe but he still had his friends. Jack was proof of that as the Immortal stood by the door watching the two Time Lords converse. "I left because you … you were changing Master and not for the better." the Doctor said sternly to the Master before walking out, Jack following him. After pouring two cups of tea the Doctor handed one to Jack as they sat at the table.
"What now? " they both heard the thud of the shoe against the Master's bedroom door. Which caused the immortal to shake his head "I don't know how much longer you'll be able to stand him. But I'm here for you, Doctor"
The Time Lord gave a nod as he sat back and sipped his tea his eyes closing as his mind whirled rapidly through his thoughts. Typical hyper Time Lord manner of course. What was today? Then his mind raced to the past:
-*-
A young raven black haired Koschei sat beneath a tree in his Time Lord Academy robes with a book in his hands reading when all of a sudden leaves from above rained down onto him causing the boy to blinked and lifted his gaze to see a blonde haired Theta hanging from a branch right in front of him "There are you, Koschei, I've been looking for you" a younger but taller Theta was beaming to him.
A sigh left Koschei's lips "I told you I wanted to be left alone, Theta" he looked annoyed which caused Theta to frown. The blonde haired Time Lord allowed himself to drop down and landed beside his friend and began to dig into his robe pockets which got Koschei to blink his blue eyes as he averted his gaze to what his friend was doing "What are you doing?" his tone still that of annoyance.
"Looking for your present, silly" was Theta's response as he dug his head into his own robes and began to furiously search "I know it was in here.. AHA!" moments later Theta's head popped out from the fabric as he gasped for air and slowly pulled out a wrapped up present and held it out to his friend.
Koschei's eyes widened as he slowly closed his book "F-for me?" he took the box and began to pull at the ribbon which then fell as he then opened the box and found a pair of cufflinks in white gold and Koschei's name in Gallifreyan script as the button in glowing red metal. "Th… Theta this is .. very nice but.. cufflinks? and what's this for?"
Theta's cheek flushed with red "Well… you … you always spoke of how … you fancied .. suits and.. well.. I figured I'd give you these.. for .. your present. For your Birthday.. if you don't like them i--" but before he could even finish his statement Koschei had placed the box down and moved in close to embrace his best friend.
"They're fanastic, Theta, Thank you" he gave his friend a smile.
-*-
Slowly the Doctor's eyes opened "… His birthday…. HIS BIRTHDAY!!!" shooting to his feet the Doctor raced out of the kitchen and straight up the TARDIS console where he immediately put in coordinates for the snazziest partying planet in the galaxy.
"come again, Doctor?" Jack was at a loss for words as he had followed the Doctor.
"Koschei's Birthday! It's today! How could I forget?!" he smacked himself in the head rather hard "Always alone.. always alone ever since I left him…"
Jack had the most puzzled look on his face "Koschei? … you mean… The Master? you're going to celebrate his birthday?... Doctor what was in that tea of yours?"
The TARDIS thrashed harshly which grounded the Doctor on his back upon landing "He always complains about being alone, about never having anyone. What better way than to lighten the mood with a bit of partying, yeah?" the Doctor hopped to his feet and raced for the lower levels "Master, get ready because it's time to Samba!" the door of the bedroom flew open "Come on, get your shoes on we have to go!" he grinned and waited for the Master to get his shoes before taking his hand and racing for the exit doors of the TARDIS.
The Doctor's face showed no emotion but it could be seen in his dark chocolate brown eyes that he truly did care about the Master regardless of their centuries of battling each other. The last two sons of Gallifrey, they were alive but always at each other's throats but this time the Doctor had the upper hand in things. As the Master continued speak the Doctor listened to his words, a slight look of pain within the Doctor's eyes as he looked to the Master. Not moving, not flinching as the Master screamed in his face, just stood there listening.
In a sense that was true, he always had his friends, he had his lover (Rose) but now even if he lost her, she was safe but he still had his friends. Jack was proof of that as the Immortal stood by the door watching the two Time Lords converse. "I left because you … you were changing Master and not for the better." the Doctor said sternly to the Master before walking out, Jack following him. After pouring two cups of tea the Doctor handed one to Jack as they sat at the table.
"What now? " they both heard the thud of the shoe against the Master's bedroom door. Which caused the immortal to shake his head "I don't know how much longer you'll be able to stand him. But I'm here for you, Doctor"

A few hours had passed, The Doctor traveling with Jack and knocked out Master. With a heavy sigh the man leaned against his console, his legs crossed at the ankles, his arms over his chest as he stood there his eyes moving about the main room of the TARDIS. They'd been traveling for awhile and the Doctor had put Jack to keep a watch on the Master until he awoke. Which after several moments wasn't too long after hearing the Master's voicing booming his name from the lower levels. With a heavy sigh the Time Lord reached up and pinched the bridge of his nose "Time to get this carnival started" shaking his head the Doctor ventured down to the room that the Master was in.
As soon as he opened the door and entered he looked to the Master, quirking a brow at his sudden words but he answered immediately with "Killing you would be a pleasure to you at this point, Master. This is actually your punishment. I know you loathe me and I know you can't stand being here with me in the TARDIS. So what better way than to keep you here?" a semi-taunting smirk curling upon his lips
The Doctor's brown eyes moved to the Immortal "I know he is… and it hurts but this is his punishment for everything he's done. I will not kill him. He may be evil but he's a Time Lord.. he and I are the last of the Time Lords. I refuse to let him die. At this point it would be an easy way out of his suffering at this point. Can't have that happen." The Master spoke again bringing the Doctor's attention to him. The Time Lord listened to his words a chuckle escaping his lips "Well.." he spoke in his usual exaggerated tone "I don't plan on having you enjoy your stay here, Master." an amused look played upon the Doctor's face. "Every second you're with me here, is pain for you due to how much you despise me."
Stepping closer to the Master he leaned in and stared into those hazel brown eyes of the Master "You've caused so much pain and destruction. So many lives have been lost due to your hands. Some of them very good friends of mine. Everyone on earth wants you dead, Master. I am not going to allow that to happen. So in a sense. I'm keeping you alive, just out of their grasp" a Cheshire cat type grin formed upon the Doctor's lips "Because even if anger and malice burn in your hearts, You're still a son of Gallifrey and I will not let you fall " he reached out and ruffled the Master's hair "there is a vial for pain, from the planet of Mystrilla. Take it. you'll need it with those Drums of yours"
Turning the Doctor headed out of the room with Jack following. The Doctor pulled out his sonic and locked the door to keep the Master locked in so he wouldn't be able t oroam around the TARDIS. "You can't be serious Doc!" Jack was angered at this point as he followed the Doctor into the kitchen.
"I am" was all the Doctor replied with as he began to brew a pot of tea.

"I am" was all the Doctor replied with as he began to brew a pot of tea.
Standing there the Time Lord in a sense could feel his TARDIS' dismay at losing the trace. She wanted to find this other Time Lord as much as the Doctor did. "It's alright, girl. You did your best" he gave an endearing pat to the console. But who was he? Why couldn't the Doctor fully pick up on the other being's scent? He'd gotten recognizable traces here and there these past few days yes but nothing truly solid. It was almost if this time lord had gone into hiding, but how? why? Was there another TARDIS? Perhaps he could scour the school in the dead of night, quietly as to not arouse suspicion. So many thoughts were swarming through the Time Lords mind as he was about to ravage his hair in a furious manner. Which was in fact something he did quite often when trying to solve things, bring up memories to the surface, but also when annoyed. And this time? Well it just happened to be one of those annoyed, and somewhat angered moments. Before he even lifted his hands to do such an act he felt a hand upon his shoulder.
For a moment, that was enough to pull him out of semi-fury, his mind instantly rushing back to reality from his angered annoyance he'd somewhat drifted into. Slowly the Doctor turned his gaze to Luna, his dark chocolate brown eyes taking in the image of her face, hearing her words. It was snowing and she wanted them to leave the warmth of the TARDIS and venture into the snow covered ground of Hogwarts. Before the Doctor even answered he watched as Luna headed for the door and opened it before looking to him with a smile. It was that smile that caused the Time Lord to calm as he returned the smile. He didn't speak a word, oh no not a word. Instead the Time Lord took up his brown trench coat from its usual spot in the TARDIS and walked out, shutting the door behind him. He had his suit jacket and was perfectly fine in the weather. But Luna? With the thin fabric she wore? He knew she'd probably get cold on the walk in the snow.
Walking up to her the two headed through the woods, taking their time. The Doctor took it upon himself to make sure Luna was warm and slipped his coat over her shoulders "To keep you warm" he gave her a smile as they walked. Yet as they moved further through the brush, the Doctor listened to the blonde's words, so she did want to travel?" the Time Lord couldn't help but feel over elated at the thought. "That's brilliant news, Luna. Because I would love to show you so many places. The world doesn't just revolve around here. Out there" he pointed to the sky "Passed the stars lies a galaxy, a place of numerous gatherings of stars and planets of ever sort that you could possibly think of and more" the more the Time Lord spoke the more his hearts were beginning to race as that sense of 'adventure' began to swarm through his body.
A grin soon formed as he spoke further, mentioning some of his favorite planets he'd visited; and of course he had to bring up Barcelona the planet which held dogs with no noses. When Luna spoke of nothing being able to stay at Hogwarts forever, the man gave an empathetic gaze followed by a nod "We can always come back just.. at a different time of course for.. reasons" he went on explaining the reasons of intervening in time lines and so forth. As the duo walked side by side they headed toward the Lake. Something the Doctor always loved from his first visit to the wizarding world was the song of the merpeople. It truly was beautiful and with each visit he always made sure to stop by and get a listen in.
- - -
The hidden Time Lord walked side by side with Rose, listening to her speak as they ventured through the snow blanketed ground, hearing the soft muffled crunch with every few steps as they neared the waters of the lake. The man couldn't explain to himself why, but this truly felt recognizable in a sense, in another worldly sort of way. As if he'd spent hours before his time here at Hogwarts admiring the song of the Merpeople. But that would be preposterous.. right? If only the man knew who he truly was, but with his memories still locked away in the watch, he himself being too stubborn and not wanting change to try again with opening it, that was how it was going to stay. He'd pushed his doubts of this life aside, not wanting to believe that he was in fact connected to this 'Doctor' Rose had mentioned the night before.
Deciding not to bring up any more of the poor girl's explosion in the Great Hall moments ago the hidden Time Lord stayed her and once they reached the bank of the lake and took a seat. It was a completely different atmosphere in a sense. Calmer, much calmer, the gentle hums from the water the delicate speckles of snow falling to the earth around them in a gentle sporadic array all around the school grounds. "Not much snow, aye? Well that's a lot of rotten luck. It's really a beautiful sight, hm?" when she brought up New ears, it snowing but her not being able to enjoy it the man gave a nod he opened his mouth to speak but she continued on with speaking. Camping? well to be honest the man didn't see her as a camping type, but again he could be wrong. She did seem like the type of person who enjoyed an adventure. Just hearing her voice, then the slight dismay at the end of her comment the man wasn't truly sure how to answer at that point.
With her shift, his eyes pulled from snow around them, the calming atmosphere to focus on the blonde girl beside him. She spoke again about him being an alien. then the Doctor. To be honest it was all very confusing, very troubling for the man but he knew Rose's heart was in the right place. His mind wandered back to the times he'd opened the watch, the golden light that would race for his eyes, filling his mind with images and thoughts he'd never seen before. With a gulp the man slowly reached into his robe pocket and pulled out his fob watch, his thumb tracing the designs on the cover of the watch as he gave a sigh. The image of the blue police box popped into his mind "The TARDIS … is what the blue box is called." he gulped thickly at his own words. At the images that had raced for his mind the time before when he'd opened the watch "… it … it stands for Time and Relative Dimension in Space… this.. watch.. showed me that.."
He tore his gaze from the watch to Rose "I.. don't know where this came from. But I had it with me when I woke up here in the infirmary two years ago. I don't remember anything before that. I truly don't. I just know that I'm a wizard, a charms professor.. I know I was born in Carlisle.. at least" he looked to the watch once more "At least I think I was…" what was this? A sense of unease and somewhat emotional pain began to form in the hidden Time Lord's heart(s). "I want to still believe that this is who I am… but after looking into this watch… twice already… I know that isn't the case… it can't be. But this? … this notion that I'm some alien from a distant planet? That's … that's just daft in its own right."

As the two entered Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop, it was a beautiful little shop, quite cozy in Harry's opinion. Yet as they were seated, a look around their atmosphere 'romance' being a 'theme' it seemed as the tables were filled up with pairs of two each. Giggling, smiling, giving googley eyes to each other. In a sense it was a romantic notion on its own but Harry at that point felt quite uncomfortable. If he'd known this would have been the outcome of their visit he would have suggested 'Three Broomsticks' instead of here. But they were already there and seated and handed menus. Taking up his menu, Harry looked it over and ordered a cuppa tea and some sweets. Sitting there after handing the menu to the waitress he brought his eyes to Hermione and smiled warmly to her.
Given his past, his fancy for Cho and being rejected in a sense for Cedric, Harry was a bit hurt yet at the current time? He wasn't really certain he was fancying Cho all that much as he had in the past. Sure he had an opening with Cho now but, was he really wanting a relationship? With how troubled his life was at the current time, the boy wasn't even sure he should be questioning himself about such a topic. To his relief the tea and food were brought, that was enough to snap Harry out of his momentary thought. After his first sip of tea, and bite of a sweet cake the green eyed Gryffindor gave a sigh of relief as he rested back in his chair, his mind finally able to relax wholeheartedly as a relaxed essence washed over him.
It seemed that was the key to get the two to calm down with such an atmosphere around them. It also was noted that Hermione was speaking, something the two hadn't done since before they entered the shop. She went on talking about the school being painted pink "Oh Merlin's beard… I hope that doesn't happen. With the school being mostly empty during the Holidays, I see Umbridge attempting that to pass the time with hardly any students around to torture, that treacherous woman." he gave a slight huff of annoyance yet noticed Hermione's grin and gave her a smile, his mood calming in that instant. Taking in what she said about Voldemort, the club and actually coming up with a name. Harry's brows raised as he looked to her 'It really does seem like you've put in quite a bit of thought into this, yeah?" a grin crept upon his lips as he filled his cup of tea up, having finished it during her ramble of information.
"Dumbledore's Army, I do like that, very much actually, it's brilliant" his grin only became broader at the thought. Their time in Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop had ended the two entering Honeydukes to get sweets, Harry immediately insisting on paying for all of their treats in a way as a thank you for inviting him as well as allowing him to stay at her place for the holidays. On their way back, arm in arm Harry heard her words and as they walked the attack from before in the muggle world emerged from the crevices of his mind yet hearing her final words the boy lowered his gaze to his brown eyes friend and gave a nod "I will, and it's not really easy to do it the first time few times because it takes loads of focus and tuning in with that one very special, very happy memory in order for the conjuring to be successful"
He'd lifted his gaze to their surrounding but soon brought it back down to Hermione as he smiled to her "You're not alone in this and neither am I. We have each other as it's always been since our previous years" well more like their third year just the two of them but in all honesty, Hermione was always there for him and Harry was ever so grateful he only wished he could truly show her or tell her how grateful he was to have her in his life. She was truly an amazingly brilliant witch and he cared for her more than he himself knew.
For a moment, that was enough to pull him out of semi-fury, his mind instantly rushing back to reality from his angered annoyance he'd somewhat drifted into. Slowly the Doctor turned his gaze to Luna, his dark chocolate brown eyes taking in the image of her face, hearing her words.

She was truly an amazingly brilliant witch and he cared for her more than he himself knew.
Jack was gone so it was just the two of them. The Doctor was going retort to the Master's statement when the other time Lord did confirm Martha's death. Hearing the news got the Doctor's eyes to widen, a stinging feeling slowly enveloping his hearts 'Martha.... dead? ...' it hurt, it truly did hurt. But what his enemy said next caused the Doctor's hurt filled eyes to narrow into a glare "Don't you dare bring her name into this again, Rose is safe. Out of your grasp. That is all I can truly ask for. I know even if you were to attempt to get a hold of her, you'd have the other form 'me' to deal with as well" hearing the Master's laugh the Doctor took a step back making sure he had both weapons firmly tucked away in his suit jacket before making a taunt toward the Master.
With the Master attempting to shove him the Doctor managed to hold his ground and use his arms to block any coming attacks from the Master "I suppose I am similar to you, Master. I don't break easily. But as long as my other friends are out of your grasp I know I won't ever fall emotionally to your treacherous ways" the Time Lord didn't attack back he remained in a defensive position to block and evade the punches and other attacks thrown at him. But he didn't strike, he didn't want to hurt the Master, he'd never wanted to hurt the Master only help him. It was just how he was, who he was. He chose his title for a reason and had thus far proven to uphold it.
Hearing the Master question him about his hope the Doctor could only smirk "It just boils your blood that I hold such hope in my friends, doesn't it? Well here is a secret, Master" he blocked another attack "I've felt what love is, I know what it feels like and its that same feeling that keeps me going" he placed his hand on the Master's shoulders keeping the man from attacking him for a moment "I don't expect things to go back to the way they were, those drums in your head have only gotten worse. There is no fixing it" with that he hadn't been able to block the attack when the Master kneed him in the stomach.
A slight wince showed in the Doctor's face due to the impact of the kneeing to his gut, that had caught him off guard enough for the Master to take him to the ground. With a wince the Doctor clenched his teeth and fought to keep the Master away from the weapons "Not a chance, Master!" what happened next caused the Doctor to freeze in his moments as he saw the Master grab his own head and yell in what seemed to be agony. The Doctor managed to get up and away from the Master "Master.." the Doctor was no longer angry but he was cautious. Even if he didn't admit it to himself. The Doctor still cared about the Time Lord that was in pain.
"There has to be a way to get the drumming to stop..." the Doctor's eyes moved to the Master's neck, taking this moment to his advantage as he neared and prepared himself. Within seconds he struck the muscles in the Master's neck with his index and middle finger which would disable and in a sense knock the Master out into a semi-gentle slumber. The Doctor catching the Master's falling body into his arms. To his shock he heard the wheeze and huff of the TARDIS before his very eyes his beautiful blue police box materialized before the two Time Lords.
The door opening and the handsome face of Captain Jack Harkness peeked out, he looked to the Doctor as a smirk formed upon his lips "I came to help but ... wow Doc. I wasn't expecting that." moving over Jack took the Master and was about to toss him aside but the Doctor shook his head.
"No, he's coming with us"
"... you've got to be kidding me Doc"
"bring him along" with that all three were taken into the TARDIS the police box disappearing.
