Her entire reaction to what he had to say was definitely expected, the Doctor wished he could reverse it, bring calmness back to her life once more but that wasn’t an option. It wasn’t possible. But Luna wasn’t alone, in a sense the Doctor understood how she felt he only wished he could do more than comfort her. Sitting there the man held her in a gentle comforting matter, was giving his life history in a sense. It was just how the Doctor was, rambling on, it was one of his more interesting quirks. The time between them at this moment was growing a tad lengthy, the Doctor felt it was time to let her know the idea that had been bouncing around in his mind. He’d talk to Dumbledore, he knew that Luna loved this school and didn’t want her current predicament to take her away from her comfort zone than she already was.
After giving her the news and hearing her reply, her response, seeing that smile. He knew it was genuine but he could still see the unsettling uncertainty within her eyes and knew that even with him saying all that he had she was still somehow internally battling with herself and this new change. Hearing her mention heading out the Doctor gave a nod "That sounds like a wise idea, Luna" he gave her a smile and was on his feet showing her out of his office, out of his classroom. Standing in the doorway of his classroom his eyes focused on her until she disappeared around the corner of the corridor. Only then was the Time Lord able to take in a deep breath and allow his body to fully relax. Reaching up he ruffled his fingers through his untamed brown tousled hair a sigh escaping his lips before pinching at the bridge of his nose "At least she's resting now" he whispered to himself before giving his body a stretch, Heading back into his classroom where he tidied up, got papers ready for the following day of classes, yet something within him told him that he might not really be able to keep this facade up for much longer. Deep within him the Doctor could sense an impending danger afoot.
After a shower, a cup of tea the Doctor sat upon the windowsill in his sleeping quarters, a pair of blue and white stripped jimjams. Sitting upon the sill, his deep chocolate brown eyes moved to stare out at the land below, it indeed was quite beautiful at night, the moon's rays delicately sparkling against the lake's surface. A comforting warmth began to spread through the Time Lord as a smile touched his lips, his eyes partaking in the beauty of this world in its entirety, it truly was magnificent. That however was disrupted when there was a knock upon the door of his quarters. For a moment the Time Lord turned his attention to his door, who on earth could that be in such a late hour? No one ever visited him. Getting to his feet he took up a blue night robe and slipped it on before heading up to the door. However upon opening it, he met a pair of half moon spectacles and long white beard. At first a look of confusion took over the Time Lord but soon the smile from the elderly wizard caused the extraterrestrial to calm as he snapped from his momentary confusion. "Good Evening, Head Master, is ... there a problem?"
"My apologies for visiting you in such a late hour, Derek. But I knew you were trying to comfort Miss Lovegood during her current predicament. I was meaning to discuss with you a possible placement for her" the elderly wizard explained with a soft calming aura emanating from him. At first the Time Lord wasn't sure what the Headmaster had heard, if he was even spying. There was a slight worry setting in the man as it could slowly be seen forming in his eyes yet it was as if this wizard saw and slowly lifted his hand "No need to become alarmed, Derek. Whatever was discussed in your office has stayed between you and Miss Lovegood"
*
That was definitely a relief, yet now the Time Lord in a sense realized that perhaps the elderly wizard knew about his whole 'act' and wasn't saying a word. The Time Lord gave a nod "Thank you, Headmaster, now.. a placement for Luna? I was going to head to your office and speak with you personally about the matter, but since you've ventured all this way. It seems we both have the same idea in mind. I would like for Luna to become my assistant, my aide during my time of teaching. I know she loves this school and would hate that she would be pulled from this comfortable area in her life after everything that has happened thus, Sir"
"My thoughts exactly, Derek" the man gave him a smile "I will leave it to you, to give Miss Lovegood the news of her position as an assistant under your authority. I shall hold your time no more, I bid you good night, Derek" the man gave him a nod and slowly headed on his way.
"Thank you, Headmaster" the Time Lord watched him leave, a very curios look within his eyes. The Doctor didn't close the door until the wizard was out of sight and only then did the Time Lord return to the windowsill. Being a Time Lord, he didn't need much sleep, perhaps ten, twenty hours a week but even so, it was mainly his excitement that was truly keeping him awake, excited and active. That was until a very familiar sense washed over him, the Doctor was on his feet and lowering his gaze to the stone floor beneath his feet. 'What is that? ... is it him?' were the Time Lord's thoughts. Making his way to the door he placed his hand upon the handle but it seemed as quickly as that sense of familiarity washed over him, it disappeared and so did his grip upon the door handle.
*
As the sun rose over the horizon the following morning, the Time Lord was already showered, in a his clean blue pinstriped suit, his still sonic in his jacket pocket and red converse upon his feet. Giving his hair a good comb through, his usual spike of tousled mane the man headed down to his classroom to get things ready for his classes but his whole morning was free so he didn't really have much to do. He'd just finished going through parchment notes he'd taken during the night and organized them upon his desk in the classroom when a knock came to his door. The Doctor wasn't anticipating any visitors, no students really needed help with the subject the man was teaching, so who could it be? Making his way up to the door he opened it and upon seeing Luna Lovegood in front of him the Time Lord couldn't help it when a smile curled upon his lips "Good Morning, Luna" hearing her words he spoke of having a free morning and his light smile turned into a rather Cheshire cat type grin "A picnic? that sounds like a brilliant idea Luna" Deciding against grabbing his 'wizard' robe the Doctor stepped out of the classroom and held his arm out to her after closing his classroom door "Shall we?" if she were to take his arm or not he led the way.

The Hidden Time Lord had to admit, everything that Rose was telling him was quite a lot to take in, not to mention that it was almost like the perfect puzzle piece to help set together his confused mind. Those images, those dreams, this Doctor, that blue box. Whoever that Doctor was, Smith knew he was in some way tied to him but how? His mind was running in such a frenzy of thoughts he barely even was able to focus on Rose's words, Yet he somehow managed to do so and snapped out of his frenzied state, bringing his blue eyes back to his student before him "It's quite alright, Miss Tyler" he walked with her toward the door "With everything you've told me, I can understand why you needed to let it out. By all means if you need to speak with me again, you know where my classroom is" he gave her a small smile and escorted her out before dipping back into his classroom and shutting the door.
Making his way back to the desk he sat there, taking up his book, a quill and dipping it in the bottle of ink. Opening the book he began to scribble words of the encounter, taking notes per say. After nearly three pages the man sat back, taking his fob watch out of his pocket he began to trace the designs once more. Several moments had passed, The Hidden Time Lord seemed to calm down, his mind easing as he sat up and lowered his gaze to the watched. He'd seen it before in his dreams, he'd opened it and had seen a golden light. But it just a dream, right? His fidgety fingers brushed along the top knob of the watch, he was ever so curious, he wanted to know but at the same time he didn't. Drawing in a deep breath the man held the watch up to eye level and clicked the button the top of the fob watch.
In an instant golden light poured out from the opening watch and aiming straight for the Hidden Time Lord's eyes 'Last of the Time Lords from Gallifrey the Shining world of the seven systems on constellation of Kasterborous,' it was his voice that rang within his mind. Images began to form within his head, images he hadn't seen before and in that instant John Smith had enough and quickly snapped the watch shut, tossing it across the classroom. His heart was racing, his ears were ringing and for that moment the hidden Time Lord lost consciousness, blacking out in the very seat he sat in. As the man physically rested his mind raced with thoughts, with images, the blue box he saw it's interior 'The TARDIS calls to you' the wheeze and huff of the machine sounded as clear as day within his mind. It was a noise he knew he heard before, a strange tingle had come over him the night Rose had appeared, but he didn‘t know that. Not now at least.
The hours passed and unbeknownst to him, the hidden Time Lord had been visited by the Headmaster and with a spell the elderly wizard transferred the man to his room to rest with the fob watch upon the Time Lord's night stand. The conversation could wait for another day. Hours had passed and slowly but surely John Smith began to awaken, much sooner than normal, his mind was racing the moment he consciously woke up 'Time Lord... The TARDIS' blinking awake the hidden Time Lord sat up then realized he wasn't in his classroom instead in his bedroom. How did he get there, reaching up he buried his hands into his face and groaned.
Even with as clouded of a mind as he was dealing with he noticed his fob watch "It glowed... I know it did.." reaching for it he looked at it, his finger idly traced near the knob but he wasn't about to do it again. He wasn't about to open it. It started to swarm into his head the possibility that Rose was right. What if he was an alien? A .. A Time Lord. Staring at the watch, his heart was thudding in his chest as he gulped thickly "... that's preposterous..." he sighed faintly and was on his feet just getting ready for the day since he was more than certain he'd be unable to sleep.
~*oOo*~
Sitting with Hermione the boy-who-lived listened to her cautious words and gave a nod "You've got a point Hermione." his mind was no longer focused on Ron. Ever since their last year maybe sooner and his didn't notice? Their redhead friend was growing more and more irate and hard to talk to at least in Harry's opinion. The two had stayed up talking, just waiting for Rose, Harry had reached for Hermione hand and they continued their conversation of the 'what ifs' and 'time travel' and all speculating as the hours passed. Harry Had Hermione by his side, she and his godfather were all he really needed in his mind. Sure there were their other friends and he had the Order and those close to him. But even then Harry felt content, for the most part at least, sure there was the thought of impending doom ahead, something just didn't sit well in Harry's gut with everything but only time would tell what would happen and how things would really play out.
It wasn't long after when Harry fell asleep, Hermione joining him soon after, they had a full day of classes, then Luna's predicament and finally the two staying up and waiting for Rose it was inevitable when Hermione fell asleep, Harry pulling her close protectively even and soon after he too joined her in slumber. As the green eyed gryffindor slept he dreamt of Rose, Professor Logan, the box, Luna's predicament but most of all the dream changed to more on the side of a nightmare as Umbridge appeared, then Voldemort's words of 'Avada Kedavra, the look of Cedric's lifeless body, his lifeless eyes staring at him. Harry's head jerked and thrashed every so often in his sleep, his face coming contorted yet as time went on those horrible images faded and he was able to sleep rather comfortable.
As hours passed, Harry was awoken by being shaken and soon a look of shock came over him as his eyes opened wide "wh-what?" his glasses were crooked for having falling asleep with them on. He was still half asleep and allowed his head to fall back against the cushioned couch arm his green eyes closing. Yet as Hermione's question left her lips, that was definitely picked up by Harry who was now brought into full alert as he brought him to sit up and quickly adjust his glasses, his green eyes moving to focus on Rose awaiting an answer. She now had his full attention and after getting the answer, a smile formed upon Harry's face as he looked to her. So His and Hermione's speculation were correct, Rose was from the future so they weren't completely mental for thinking it.
As Rose and Hermione conversed further, Harry remained silent as at this point? Harry was still too groggy to even think of questions to ask, not to mention Hermione was the best to deal with the situation. Hearing Rose speak that things would get better he was relieved but seeing the look on her face, when she looked at him and in a sense recanted her statement to give a more realistic answer, Harry's heart nearly skipped a beat. How bad was it going to get, honestly? When she spoke of seeing them at breakfast, Harry's mind began to wander, his eyes lifted to Hermione as he saw her smile and returned it "Well we finally know. I'm glad"

Up in the Astronomy Tower, John Smith had found his way up there. Throughout the time he was awake he couldn't clear his mind yet whenever he was there being able look down at the vast and beautiful land the man actually found a hint of peace. A feeling of calm serenity washed over him as he stood there leaning against the railing as his eyes closed allowing the cool crisp breeze to brush against his face as his body eased greatly. It would seem hours of being in that position in that spacious haze the faint sounds of footsteps climbing the stairs sounded. Hearing a familiar voice his blue eyes opened as he glanced back to her, a smile forming upon his lips "Good Morning Rose. I hope you managed to get some sleep" hearing her next statement his smile fell a tad but he shook his head "Don't be silly, I wouldn't mind the company. There is more than enough space here."
She continued to speak and the man looked to her, taking in her words. He wanted to believe what she was telling him, he wanted to but deep down John Smith knew that it wasn't possible. There was far too much that had happened, her first words speaking to him about the Doctor and the Box which he now knew was called the TARDIS. Then the opening of his watch, it was just far too much information for him to believe that it wasn't true. He kept the watch in his robe pocket but he wasn't about to open it again. Not after what he'd witnessed the night before, Watching her turn and leave the hidden Time Lord stood there leaning against the railing look at the spot where she'd been standing moments ago. 'A girl from the future. An alien and a blue box known as the TARDIS. well... what does that mean about me? I'm John Smith from Carlisle England and yet she claims that I'm the alien like this Doctor. This Doctor who is an alien race known as Time Lords' he slowly gave a sigh and reached up to rub his face slowly 'Why? ...would this happen? How could this happen? I'm starting to question if .. this life I'm living is even real? Am I even a wizard?'
the man shook his head "That's absurd.. completely mental. I am a wizard. the Charms professor have been for years. no more questioning my existence... I can't or else I will definitely need to be thrown into St. Mungos" he shook his head and left the astronomy tower to start his day.

Harry soon got to his feet with Hermione's help before they parted ways to their respected dorms to get ready for the day. A simple shower, clean uniform and his robes with his wand tucked into his robe pocket the green eyes Gryffindor headed down to meet up with best friend. together the two heading downstairs to the Great Hall for breakfast.Sitting at the table with Hermione beside him, Harry looked about then overheard Ron talking with Ginny and Twins about traveling with the family for the holidays. It must be nice to have a loving family. Then again he did have Sirius and knew that his godfather would probably enjoy his company for the holidays but right now? Harry just didn't see himself wanting to go anywhere near Grimmauld place.
The boy-who-lived was ins his own world but Hermione's voice slowly pulled him from it and turned his full attention to her. She was offering for him to join her? To stay with her and her family? Hearing everything she had to say she wanted him to meet her family "That's really kind of you Hermione" his voice was warm as the boy couldn't help but smile, "I would like that a lot Hermione, Thank you." he resumed eating and listened to her words "I have to agree, being here in the castle for two weeks it wouldn't be much of a holiday. Spending it with you and your family I'd love that, the sound of it. I hope your parents are alright with it. if they're not I understand". If this were to go as planned he knew Hermione and Himself could plan out things about the group. When she mentioned grinch, he himself was actually up to date on that reference and looked over to Umbridge "Looks like pink is the new green." he gave a slight laugh.

Luna Lovegood, just by looking at her, sensing the calmness mixed with curiosity that was emanating from her matured form, the Doctor knew she was understanding everything he was telling her. What had that aging potion truly done? It was a horrible potion for stealing years of her life yes, he had to admit to himself that the fact that it could have possibly given her abilities that a now young woman of her age would likely know and probably more than just that. It was just absolutely fascinating to the Doctor, he held a hint of intrigue as well as an overpowering amazement within his eyes as he looked to her. Yet he still couldn't help but feel bad for Luna. Deep within his hearts he knew this had to be one of the worst things anyone could do to someone. Why this? Why Luna Lovegood? Losing years of your life and not being able to have the chance to grow up, it was horrible, it must have been.
So many thoughts swam through the Time Lord’s mind as he looked to her. If she could see his aura, his sonic the psychic paper would seal the deal in his opinion. It would prove to him she was far more than a normal witch, she would be an amazingly brilliant being. Reaching into his suit jacket he pulled it out and held it to her with a note and as she took the paper he saw her frown then heard her words this caused a small smile to curl upon his lips as he looked to her. “It’s called psychic paper, it’s normally intended to say whatever it is you want it to say to a person. It comes in handy when you’re in a sticky situation” he gave a chuckle and placed it upon the desk top.
Hearing her question about him being from the future the Doctor gave a nod “Well in a sense yes, then again.. No? It all depends really on how you look at it.” he thought for a moment “You see .. people assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect. But actually from a nonlinear nonsubjective view point.. It’s more like a big ball of … wibbly wobbly … timey wimey … stuff.“ being a Time Lord at times would be difficult to explain to people. As Luna continued he could see the hope in her eyes he in a way could almost hear it thudding in her chest in a way. The Doctor didn’t answer right away, his facial expressions had in fact changed, his smile had faded and a look of sorrow replaced it. He truly felt bad for this girl, he wanted to help her so much. Even being a Time Lord, he couldn’t reverse what had happened to Luna. Slowly getting up from his chair behind his desk the man made his way over to her and took a seat beside her. Reaching out he took a hold of her hands and held them gently.
Sitting there the man lifted his deep chocolate brown eyes to her silver grey ones his voice much more delicate than his normal tone. It was comforting in a way. “Even with being from the future… I’m sorry, I’m so sorry Luna. But I can’t reverse what has been done to you.” he took in a deep breath and slowly exhaled as his eyes drifted to his sonic screwdriver. “I did a full body scan with my device and … the aging is permanent. Even with this being a world of magic and wonder, some things just can not be reversed. This... happens to be one of them.” The Doctor knew that she would be feeling so many mixed emotions at once, he knew right now she’d need someone at her side and at this very moment he wasn’t about to leave her. No.
Instead he moved closer and gently slid an arm around her shoulder as he softly pulled her close to him “I know this is a lot to take in, I’m sorry this happened to you, Luna” his voice a whisper, a soothing tone he was trying to ease her worry and dismay that had more than likely risen to the surface. “But you’re not alone, I know you feel it right now but you’re not. I won’t leave you, I promise you that I will remain here by your side through all of this” holding her close the Time Lord rested his head against hers gently. “I know what it’s like to be alone. A wretchedly horrible feeling it is” he gave a sigh “I’m… the last of my kind. They all died centuries ago. I’ve been traveling alone for two hundred years now”.
Without knowing it his fingers began to comb through her delicate light blonde locks as his mind wandered as his voice slowed. “I’m ‘The Doctor’ I’m the last of my race known as the Time Lords. I come from the planet Gallifrey on the constellation of Kasterborous. It’s a planet far… far away” he finally now realized what his fingers were doing and immediately slowed the combing until his hand was simply resting against her. Lowering his eyes to her, the Time Lord gave her an understanding gaze “Just remember that you’re not alone” he whispered, making sure she was alright he finally pulled back from her and rested in his seat.
"I did hear from the some of the faculty that you've been moved to your own quarters. If they can't find a place for you then you'll be sent home. Now…. I know Hogwarts is amazing with its magic of sorts and for what it truly stands for." the man couldn't help as a smirk curled on his lips for a moment "I'm still technically a professor here. I can speak with Dumbledore and see if he allows you to stay here as my aide to help me during class. How'd you like the sound of that?" his smirk turning into a rather charming grin.

Getting worse in two years time? What did that mean? Mr. Smith was starting get questions of his own as he watched this girl. When the two were finally in the classroom the door closed so they could begin the session of detention. When he spoke to her of having nothing planned then pulled out his literal treasure chest of sweets he offered her some of everything and grinned as that seemed to have caught her attention. "Yes Miss Tyler I do, they are my favorite after all." When she popped them into her mouth and gave a rather interesting smile the hidden Time Lord sat back in his seat and tossed a few into the air catching them in this mouth.
Sitting there chewing he listened to what Rose had to saw next about not being a witch. The man couldn't help it when a very triumphant smile touched his lips 'I knew there was something off about her' were his thoughts. Yet as she continued on with being from London and from the man slowed in his chewing. When she mentioned the big blue box at that moment the man was in mid swallow of his chewed candy and nearly choked on the jelly babies and began to pound his chest to get the candy to go down properly. Once that crisis was over the professor was listening more intently now it seemed. Watching her pause for breath the man was about to open his mouth and say something when she mentioned the alien's name.
He could see his leather encased book in his peripheral vision and remembered jotting that down in there for his notes in his dreams. Could his memories be of this alien called the Doctor? What significance did that have with him? He was John Smith, a charms professor.''and I think it's you' were her last words that dragged the man's blue eyed gaze back to this future girl before him. Mr. Smith's mind was swelling with questions as he looked to her, his mouth shut, his mind racing he didn't take his eyes off her until she finished her spilling of information. The hidden Time Lord figured she'd tell him something but all of this? How was he supposed to answer to everything he'd just heard? Maybe she snuck into his classroom and looked at his book? No that was a ridiculous theory.
The man heavily swallowed a knot that had formed in his throat after listening to what she had to say. It was starting to mess with his mind, mess with his memories, in reality it was messing majorly with his head and at this point he beginning to become a bit confused. How could she know the blue box? "that is quite a bit of information I'm honestly surprised you haven't had a complete mental break down, Miss Tyler" he gave her a light clap "Bravo to that. But really. You're from the future and you travel in a blue box?" the hidden Time Lord was beside himself in disbelief. All of his dreams were finally being brought to the surface of his mind.
Reaching for his book the flipped to the back and began to go over the notes and images he'd sketched across the parchment paper that filled the book. "The Doctor" he pointed to his writing "and then the blue box" he turned a pages and showed her "It's absurd to say that I'm some alien, I'm only a professor, a full blooded wizard I come from Carlisle England." he looked to her "But I have … visions, dreams I just feel that this … Doctor is somehow connected to them." he held his book out to her for her take before moving to sit back in his chair, subconsciously taking up his fob watch and running his fingers along its etched designs. During his times of confusion and worry, the watch helped calm his mind. "Time is a funny thing, you never know what's going to happen, how to handle it when it does happen. It's brings along new experiences that cause you to realize that something is truly missing from your life." the man blinked for a moment upon revising his words just spoken. That was odd of him to say. He shook his head and rested back.
His blue eyes closed, his fingers idly tracing the outer casing of the watch. "So you say the blue box crashed here? where exactly? the forest perhaps?" what was this feeling that was coming over him? Could it be a hint of excitement? His eyes opened as he looked to her "I'd like to see it" he was on his feet sliding his fob watch into his pocket "We'll cut your detention early. we have maybe half and hour or so left but that's alright. with Dolores in a meeting she won't know you're not serving it. Besides I'm more than certain you need to…. catch up with your newly acquainted friends" he gave a smile. He seemed a bit antsy at this point like he wanted to bolt and go searching for the box.

There could be so many possibilities how Draco would have made the potion. Harry knew it took a great deal of skill to even come up with as strong of a potion that Draco had. Did he have help? did he do it on his own? Where did he get that book? Harry simmered in his thoughts his mind trailing off until Hermione's voice pulled him back to reality as he looked to her "I.. I don't know Hermione. We accused Snape back in our first year and it turned out he was trying to help which… is.." he ceased in speaking and shook his head as she recanted her first statement and replaced it with another. "We know how Malfoy is, he got that book from somewhere and has already started causing havoc. It angers me to the core, Hermione. That could've been you and if it were you in Luna's place I swear to Merlin I would give Draco what he ha--" he realized he was getting heated, an anger heat at that and immediately silenced his voice
Hearing her reaction to his statement the He listened to her words and slowly nodded, a sigh passing his lips as he did "I know there isn't. But you have to admit it Hermione. Things aren't the same. They haven't been for awhile. The way he acts to not only me but you? You think that doesn't bother me? Well it does. When I see you hurt and suffering, it hurts me, Hermione" he was being truthful with his words as he looked to her a sincerity deep within his eyes. After explaining that Hogwarts was his home and he'd do all he could to keep it safe he was taken aback when she gushed and threw her arms around him. An immediate smile formed upon Harry's lips as he returned the embrace until she pulled away from him.
Listening to her words he gave a nod "Deep down I know I'm not alone, truly." when she hugged him, he wrapped his arms around her embracing her close as he smiled. Just then the portrait door opened and Ron headed their way, feeling Hermione's arms slide away, Harry too removed his grasp from around her as they now both looked to Ron before looking to each other then back to Ron again. His response to Harry's agreeing to do it was far from enthusiastic which Harry didn't pay any mind to it and merely shrugged it off as normal Ron behavior. "I do…" he shook the thoughts from his head "But let's not dwell on that now" his mind always went to Ginny when he thought of a sour faced Ron. Those two. Yes they were friends but Ron was turning into quite the huge git, Ginny was getting even more annoying by the year. Harry did what he could to block it from his mind and put his focus on Hermione.
It was then suggested they head inside and to Harry that sounded like a good idea. Following suit he made his way into the common room, shutting the portrait door behind him as he turned his attention to common room which surprisingly was pretty empty except for the three of them. "Well this is a rare sight" Harry gave a slight smile "It's been awhile since it's been just the thr--" before he could even continue with his statement Ron was on his feet and up to the dormitory "apparently I stand corrected" he gave a smile to Hermione as she pat the spot beside her. Moving over the green eyed boy sat down beside her "I'm fine with it being just us two" he smiled to her "feels like old times, doesn't it?"
Getting himself comfortable he leaned back against the cushions of the sofa as his green eyes peered through his round spectacles "Do you think "Rose will tell us about that new professor while she's at it? I really hope she does. Both of them seem very off. Don't they? Well Mr. Logan is professional I'll give him that but .. I don't know they might be working together. If they're from the future maybe it's because of Umbridge?" Harry knew what he was saying and knew at this point it would be a good time to just shut up and wait for Rose before he hurt himself jumping to conclusions. "I'll stop…" he realized he was getting too far ahead of himself "…Sorry" he spoke before looking to her. Reaching down, he took a hold of her hand, it was just something he found himself doing a lot more lately. She was his bestfriend and just having her near comforted him. He wouldn't have it any other way.
So many thoughts swam through the Time Lord’s mind as he looked to her. If she could see his aura, his sonic the psychic paper would seal the deal in his opinion. It would prove to him she was far more than a normal witch, she would be an amazingly brilliant being.

As Luna continued he could see the hope in her eyes he in a way could almost hear it thudding in her chest in a way. The Doctor didn’t answer right away, his facial expressions had in fact changed, his smile had faded and a look of sorrow replaced it. He truly felt bad for this girl, he wanted to help her so much.

It was comforting in a way. “Even with being from the future… I’m sorry, I’m so sorry Luna.

Even with this being a world of magic and wonder, some things just can not be reversed. This... happens to be one of them.” The Doctor knew that she would be feeling so many mixed emotions at once, he knew right now she’d need someone at her side and at this very moment he wasn’t about to leave her. No.
Instead he moved closer and gently slid an arm around her shoulder as he softly pulled her close to him “I know this is a lot to take in, I’m sorry this happened to you, Luna” his voice a whisper, a soothing tone he was trying to ease her worry and dismay that had more than likely risen to the surface. “But you’re not alone, I know you feel it right now but you’re not. I won’t leave you, I promise you that I will remain here by your side through all of this” holding her close the Time Lord rested his head against hers gently. “I know what it’s like to be alone. A wretchedly horrible feeling it is” he gave a sigh “I’m… the last of my kind. They all died centuries ago. I’ve been traveling alone for two hundred years now”.
Without knowing it his fingers began to comb through her delicate light blonde locks as his mind wandered as his voice slowed. “I’m ‘The Doctor’ I’m the last of my race known as the Time Lords. I come from the planet Gallifrey on the constellation of Kasterborous. It’s a planet far… far away” he finally now realized what his fingers were doing and immediately slowed the combing until his hand was simply resting against her. Lowering his eyes to her, the Time Lord gave her an understanding gaze “Just remember that you’re not alone” he whispered, making sure she was alright he finally pulled back from her and rested in his seat.
"I did hear from the some of the faculty that you've been moved to your own quarters. If they can't find a place for you then you'll be sent home. Now…. I know Hogwarts is amazing with its magic of sorts and for what it truly stands for." the man couldn't help as a smirk curled on his lips for a moment "I'm still technically a professor here. I can speak with Dumbledore and see if he allows you to stay here as my aide to help me during class. How'd you like the sound of that?" his smirk turning into a rather charming grin.

Getting worse in two years time? What did that mean? Mr. Smith was starting get questions of his own as he watched this girl. When the two were finally in the classroom the door closed so they could begin the session of detention. When he spoke to her of having nothing planned then pulled out his literal treasure chest of sweets he offered her some of everything and grinned as that seemed to have caught her attention. "Yes Miss Tyler I do, they are my favorite after all." When she popped them into her mouth and gave a rather interesting smile the hidden Time Lord sat back in his seat and tossed a few into the air catching them in this mouth.
Sitting there chewing he listened to what Rose had to saw next about not being a witch. The man couldn't help it when a very triumphant smile touched his lips 'I knew there was something off about her' were his thoughts. Yet as she continued on with being from London and from the man slowed in his chewing. When she mentioned the big blue box at that moment the man was in mid swallow of his chewed candy and nearly choked on the jelly babies and began to pound his chest to get the candy to go down properly. Once that crisis was over the professor was listening more intently now it seemed. Watching her pause for breath the man was about to open his mouth and say something when she mentioned the alien's name.
He could see his leather encased book in his peripheral vision and remembered jotting that down in there for his notes in his dreams. Could his memories be of this alien called the Doctor? What significance did that have with him? He was John Smith, a charms professor.''and I think it's you' were her last words that dragged the man's blue eyed gaze back to this future girl before him. Mr. Smith's mind was swelling with questions as he looked to her, his mouth shut, his mind racing he didn't take his eyes off her until she finished her spilling of information. The hidden Time Lord figured she'd tell him something but all of this? How was he supposed to answer to everything he'd just heard? Maybe she snuck into his classroom and looked at his book? No that was a ridiculous theory.
The man heavily swallowed a knot that had formed in his throat after listening to what she had to say. It was starting to mess with his mind, mess with his memories, in reality it was messing majorly with his head and at this point he beginning to become a bit confused. How could she know the blue box? "that is quite a bit of information I'm honestly surprised you haven't had a complete mental break down, Miss Tyler" he gave her a light clap "Bravo to that. But really. You're from the future and you travel in a blue box?" the hidden Time Lord was beside himself in disbelief. All of his dreams were finally being brought to the surface of his mind.
Reaching for his book the flipped to the back and began to go over the notes and images he'd sketched across the parchment paper that filled the book. "The Doctor" he pointed to his writing "and then the blue box" he turned a pages and showed her "It's absurd to say that I'm some alien, I'm only a professor, a full blooded wizard I come from Carlisle England." he looked to her "But I have … visions, dreams I just feel that this … Doctor is somehow connected to them." he held his book out to her for her take before moving to sit back in his chair, subconsciously taking up his fob watch and running his fingers along its etched designs. During his times of confusion and worry, the watch helped calm his mind. "Time is a funny thing, you never know what's going to happen, how to handle it when it does happen. It's brings along new experiences that cause you to realize that something is truly missing from your life." the man blinked for a moment upon revising his words just spoken. That was odd of him to say. He shook his head and rested back.
His blue eyes closed, his fingers idly tracing the outer casing of the watch. "So you say the blue box crashed here? where exactly? the forest perhaps?" what was this feeling that was coming over him? Could it be a hint of excitement? His eyes opened as he looked to her "I'd like to see it" he was on his feet sliding his fob watch into his pocket "We'll cut your detention early. we have maybe half and hour or so left but that's alright. with Dolores in a meeting she won't know you're not serving it. Besides I'm more than certain you need to…. catch up with your newly acquainted friends" he gave a smile. He seemed a bit antsy at this point like he wanted to bolt and go searching for the box.

There could be so many possibilities how Draco would have made the potion. Harry knew it took a great deal of skill to even come up with as strong of a potion that Draco had. Did he have help? did he do it on his own? Where did he get that book? Harry simmered in his thoughts his mind trailing off until Hermione's voice pulled him back to reality as he looked to her "I.. I don't know Hermione. We accused Snape back in our first year and it turned out he was trying to help which… is.." he ceased in speaking and shook his head as she recanted her first statement and replaced it with another. "We know how Malfoy is, he got that book from somewhere and has already started causing havoc. It angers me to the core, Hermione. That could've been you and if it were you in Luna's place I swear to Merlin I would give Draco what he ha--" he realized he was getting heated, an anger heat at that and immediately silenced his voice
Hearing her reaction to his statement the He listened to her words and slowly nodded, a sigh passing his lips as he did "I know there isn't. But you have to admit it Hermione. Things aren't the same. They haven't been for awhile. The way he acts to not only me but you? You think that doesn't bother me? Well it does. When I see you hurt and suffering, it hurts me, Hermione" he was being truthful with his words as he looked to her a sincerity deep within his eyes. After explaining that Hogwarts was his home and he'd do all he could to keep it safe he was taken aback when she gushed and threw her arms around him. An immediate smile formed upon Harry's lips as he returned the embrace until she pulled away from him.
Listening to her words he gave a nod "Deep down I know I'm not alone, truly." when she hugged him, he wrapped his arms around her embracing her close as he smiled. Just then the portrait door opened and Ron headed their way, feeling Hermione's arms slide away, Harry too removed his grasp from around her as they now both looked to Ron before looking to each other then back to Ron again. His response to Harry's agreeing to do it was far from enthusiastic which Harry didn't pay any mind to it and merely shrugged it off as normal Ron behavior. "I do…" he shook the thoughts from his head "But let's not dwell on that now" his mind always went to Ginny when he thought of a sour faced Ron. Those two. Yes they were friends but Ron was turning into quite the huge git, Ginny was getting even more annoying by the year. Harry did what he could to block it from his mind and put his focus on Hermione.
It was then suggested they head inside and to Harry that sounded like a good idea. Following suit he made his way into the common room, shutting the portrait door behind him as he turned his attention to common room which surprisingly was pretty empty except for the three of them. "Well this is a rare sight" Harry gave a slight smile "It's been awhile since it's been just the thr--" before he could even continue with his statement Ron was on his feet and up to the dormitory "apparently I stand corrected" he gave a smile to Hermione as she pat the spot beside her. Moving over the green eyed boy sat down beside her "I'm fine with it being just us two" he smiled to her "feels like old times, doesn't it?"
Getting himself comfortable he leaned back against the cushions of the sofa as his green eyes peered through his round spectacles "Do you think "Rose will tell us about that new professor while she's at it? I really hope she does. Both of them seem very off. Don't they? Well Mr. Logan is professional I'll give him that but .. I don't know they might be working together. If they're from the future maybe it's because of Umbridge?" Harry knew what he was saying and knew at this point it would be a good time to just shut up and wait for Rose before he hurt himself jumping to conclusions. "I'll stop…" he realized he was getting too far ahead of himself "…Sorry" he spoke before looking to her. Reaching down, he took a hold of her hand, it was just something he found himself doing a lot more lately. She was his bestfriend and just having her near comforted him. He wouldn't have it any other way.
The Time Lord in a sense expected her reaction as he watched her face and read her expressions almost instantly. She was scared, she was hurting and ever so confused that much he could read in that instant by just looking at her. His two beating hearts went out to her, in a sense he didn't know how she truly felt but he could empathize with her. The Professor stood near her bed beside her "I cannot begin to fathom what could possibly be going on in that mind of yours. But in a sense, I can. You feel confused, lost, if you were feeling out of place before this happened. You are feeling it even more so now" with that he pulled out his sonic screwdriver and did his scan of her body taking in the readings that were being linked to him. 'It can't be reversed? … this isn't good news for at all… Poor Luna…' He thought and slowly slipped his 'wand' into his robe pocket once more.
"I know this must be extremely hard for you, Luna" the man slowly extended his hand out and placed it upon her shoulder in a gentle manner "As I've said before, you're not alone. I will be here to help you through this tough time. I too know what's like to feel lost, to feel confused and very much alone." his mind drifted back to his memories, that feeling of loneliness creeping back to him as he shook his mind free of his thoughts and brought his deep chocolate brown eyed gaze to Luna as he gave her a faint smile "I shall leave you so you can get some rest as I am more than certain you need it. Plus time to think" he gave her shoulder a gentle pat "Remember if you need me for anything you know where to find me" his voice held a gentler tone, a more compassionate and understanding tone. "Rest well, Miss Lovegood" with that the Doctor turned and headed out, closing the curtain behind him to leave Luna with privacy as she rested and thought a bit to herself.
The Time Lord took his time as he ventured down the stairs to the first floor of the castle, looking about as students passed. Everything that had happened so far was beginning to leave a weight in his chest, in his hearts. The Time Lord needed to get away from the school, that would probably be the only way he could get some time to clear his head and think for a bit, dwell in his thoughts per say. Sure being here again in the wizarding world and actually partaking in the adventure was all fine and dandy but for right now he needed to be in his TARDIS to clear his head. Without suspicion the Time Lord entered the forbidden forest, knowing exactly where the TARDIS had crash landed. With a snap of his fingers the door opened and he entered the big blue police box and removed his robes tossing it over his brown trench coat in its usual spot. "Hello there ol' girl" he spoke to his TARDIS and neared brushing his fingers along her control panel of the main frame.
Just being in his TARDIS at this moment he was already feeling a bit better, as if his mind was being read the lights in the TARDIS began to dim until the gentle blue glow of the spaceship's main frame was the only light that echoed through it all. "I wish I had answers for all of this. You locked onto .. a trace of Time Lord d.n.a that's what brought us here" he was speaking to the TARDIS as he'd done many times in the past. She was very much alive that much he knew. "I only wish I could figure out who it is. I'm the last one, no one else made it out alive. They couldn't have" his mind was a whirl of chaotic thoughts as images of the past returned to him bringing warm sorrowful tears to the Time Lord's eyes at the memories. "That day I ended it all… I should have died with them.." the Doctor gulped thickly and took in a deepened shaken breath, wiping the tears that broke free from the corner of his eyes.
"But no such luck… I now travel this universe alone. Yes sure I met Rose but I have a very strong feeling in the bottom of my hearts that she won't be accompanying me for long. I barely even know her…" he shook his head "But Luna…. she holds such a gentle soul, she's been through so much even more so now than ever. That potion… whatever it was it can't be reversed." He was still wording his thoughts mainly to himself aloud, now. With a heavy sigh the Time Lord reached up and combed his fingers through his extremely unruly yet amazing hair "Perhaps… no … that's just a daft thought." he shook whatever thoughts he had, free from his mind. Closing his eyes the Time Lord allowed his body to relax as he succumbed to a very gentle slumber that had been beckoning him since his classes had ended for the morning.
Time had passed and the Doctor was awake getting a clean refresher in both his body and mind, taking up his robes the Doctor slipped them on and headed out of his TARDIS and back to the castle. He resumed with the remainder of his classes until his schedule became free and figured Rose would be too. Then again he didn't know much of the classes other than the students who attended his own but it was worth a shot. After some time of looking he figured the blonde was probably in a classroom somewhere and instead of poking his head around to try to find her, The Doctor figured he'd just head up to his room, yet that wasn't what happened when he heard rapid padding of footsteps which was rare and scarce during class time and as they neared. The Time Lord slowly turned around to find Luna Lovegood heading his way in a small jog. The man couldn't stop himself when a smile graced his handsome features as he watched her near he opened his mouth to greet her yet before the words could come forth he listened to her words which caused those deep brown eyes of his to widen as a rather shocked expression played across his face. Stunned for that moment is what the Doctor was "You saw a metal.. wand?" he slowly reached into his pocket and pulled out his sonic screwdriver, it looked like a normal sonic screwdriver to him but he knew the chameleon circuit was still working so how was it that Luna could actually see it for what it really was? This young woman was getting even more spectacular by the moment in the Doctor's eyes.
"You truly are a gifted witch, Miss Lovegood" he gave her a broadened smile, slipping his sonic back into his robes "Come with me" he slowly extended his hand out to her "We'll talk in my office, I'm sure you have questions that have needed answering" was he going to do it? Was he going to explain it all to her? He'd only just met her earlier this morning, but she could see him for who he truly was. At least his aura and his Time Lord technology, she really was a gifted individual, perhaps she was the one? The one destined to be his new companion? In a sense the Doctor hoped so but only time would truly tell.
As they walked the Doctor began to speak to Luna about things as they headed through the corridors, in a sense trying to comfort her as she seemed even more timid and uncertain than before. "Things are changing all around us… in every single moment of time that passes" he held onto her hand which at the moment he felt she needed. A hand to hold, a reassurance that things would be okay. At this moment in time, he was there for her and he wanted her to know that. Leading the way into his muggle studies classroom and into the back to his office the Doctor moved to his desk and sat down with a wave of his sonic screwdriver still under the 'magical' influence of the chameleon circuit he pulled up a chair for Luna to have a seat.
"You've spoken to me about auras. you've been able to see my aura.. I can tell you right now, Miss Lovegood. No one has ever told me that before. You are the first" he gave her a smile and slowly set his sonic screwdriver. His eyes moving to the device "You've been able to see my aura, see my metal wand as you called it." He took up his sonic and held it out to her "This is called a sonic screwdriver. It's not a wand, it's a device that helps me unlock doors, change codings in technology, in .. science ... things" he cleared his throat for a moment realizing she wouldn't understand much of it "It's not from this time, not from this world in fact. And in a sense neither am I" he pursed his lips together for a moment and thought before reaching into his robes, and into his suit jacket and pulled out his psychic paper. He thought of a phrase 'Hello there Luna. I'm the Doctor, I'm an alien species called a Time Lord' is what the paper would say if she could see it. But if she was as clever as he thought she was, he was more than certain she'd just see it as a blank piece of paper inside a leather casing.

Professor Smith sat there as he spoke "No problem at all, I always have time to help out my students. So what evening is best for you, Miss Tyler?" his clear blue eyes lifted to Rose as he awaited her answer only to find that her mind had wandered elsewhere for she stood there looking off into 'space' per say. A rather amused expression crossed the hidden Time Lord's face as he watched her return to reality "Welcome back to the present, Miss Tyler" he poked a bit of fun at her as a smile touched his lips. finally hearing her answer the man gave a nod and made a note in the book before blowing a bit of air on it for the ink to dry faster as it did he shut it and placed the quill back in the ink bottle his eyes lifting to Rose once more "All set, I'll be seeing you tomorrow evening after dinner. Until then Miss Tyler, please do be careful." he gave her a wave as he waited her exit his room.
Once the man was alone he slowly took up his wand and gave it a wave his classroom door shutting. Setting the wand down he took up his fob watch and slowly but surely the man sat back in his chair his fumbling with the watch as his mind wandered. Sitting back even further he brought his feet up to rest crossed at the ankles in a relaxed position as he closed his eyes and allowed his body to rest up a bit his finger unconsciously running along the beautifully etched designs on the front of the fob watch.. It was his down time, his off time, Lunch was over, sure he had to finish grading his papers but in his opinion that could wait, it wasn't like it had to be done right this instant, no. He could do that later, it was just a bit of his laid back lazed attitude poking through his unknown façade he was living at the current moment.
As he rested his eyes closing as his fingertips traced the watch's designs something he'd subconsciously do from time to time without even noticing. As he did this deep in his subconscious mind images began to form. He could see through a fogged haze what looked to be twin suns rising over the horizon. Within moments the images became clearer and clearer as if he were seeing it all in real time. The twin suns rising over the mountains, shining against silver leaves of the trees, its petals sparkling radiantly the reflections of light catching against the crimson grass below. It looked absolutely beautiful as he rested a smile touched the man's lips. 'The shining world of the seven systems' a voice rang, his own voice deep within the crevices of his subconscious. 'The shining world' echoed once more. A warm comfort spreading over him yet in an instant he was pulled from his relaxation as his classroom door opening caused the man to snap from his thoughts, and subconscious images.
Students began filing in and taking their seats one by one, sitting there the man lowered his feet from his desk and stood up looking to his class, the last student entering and closing the door before taking his seat. Professor Smith looked to his class, a somewhat distant look in the man's eyes "open your books and review a bit of yesterday's chapter. I shall return shortly" he picked up the book he'd jotted Rose's appointment in and disappeared into his office the door shutting behind him. He'd seen glimpses of the twin suns, the silver leaved trees but this was something in such detail it almost felt real. "The shining world?..." moving to his desk he opened his book and flipped to the back pages and jotted it down. Never before had he heard his own voice echo those words before within his mind. On the page beside the blank one he'd just written in were scribbled words, pictures, a box he'd drawn every single thing that came to him in his dreams he'd write down and sketch across. Stories, fairy tales, there was nothing of the sort here. Sure it was a world of magic but that blue box seemed much more than magical. It held a different structure 'The seven systems' he heard his own voice repeat in his now conscious mind. shaking it from his head he jotted that below his previous entry and slammed the book shut. After several moments of sitting there, simmering in his thoughts he stared down at the fob watch in his hands. Sliding the watch into his robe pocket he arose to his feet and headed out of his office to begin his class.
A few students had questioned if he was alright and all the man could do was give a smile and nod "Of course, just a bit of mental preparation for today's lesson is all. Now" he pulled out his wand "shall we begin?" the hour had passed a lot quicker than the Professor had expected but in a sense he was more than glad it did. Making his way out into the hallway and headed down the corridor the man was about to head to the main floor of the castle when a very familiar and quite annoying voice rang in his ears. Slowly turning around he looked to see he was correct upon seeing the pink tailored women heading his way and surprisingly with Rose behind her "Ah.. Dolores, pleasure to see you" he man gave a fake enthused smile, his lack of attention or interest shun through as he listened to her explanation but gave a nod "of course, I'll take care of her. Go on" when the pink woman walked away the man turned his gaze to Rose a rather amused expression upon his features "I'll see you after dinner at my office, Miss Tyler"
After his small relaxation session in his office, that image, that scene, the beautiful sense of warmth that had washed over him. That was something the hidden Time Lord wasn't able to push from his mind, he needed that air most definitely. Heading out the double doors of the front of the castle the professor found a place to relax, he leaned up against the building his eyes lifting to the moon as he sat there beneath the stars. Throughout dinner the man stayed outside until he felt it was the right time to head inside. He didn't want to keep Rose standing outside his classroom waiting for him, that would be rude. Making his way back into the castle he headed down the corridor leading to his classroom, Rose coming into view. having heard her protest the man couldn't help but smirk a chuckle leaving his lips as he neared "I'm sure you didn't, Miss Tyler. Half the students she puts into detention are falsely accused and horribly punished for it. She's a bit of a nut job if you want my opinion" he opened his classroom door and allowed her in before following behind her.
What struck him though was her final statement "shouldn't have to take notes you say?" he questioned curiously "That it doesn't matter?" his blue eyes moved to her a rather curious look lingering within his eyes "Why Miss Tyler, is that implying something?" the amused expression from their earlier encounters was once again upon his features as he looked to her "Please do share what's going on in that mind of yours" heading into his office he opened the door and gestured for her to follow "Being in your seventh year, final exams upon you. the chance of finishing. I would think that would be really important to a young witch" he moved to his desk and took a seat, bringing his feet up to rest against the desk crossing at the ankles "I really have nothing planned for your detention. So by all means I'll just be keeping you here for an hour. it was an unscheduled detention. No plans were made. How about we just throw all rules out the window and relax, get rid of titles and let loose and just talk shall we?"
The Hidden Time Lord lowered his feet down and reached into his desk drawer and pulled out a small chest with sweets "Let's see here.. I've got chocolate frogs, bertie bott's every flavour beans, licorice wands and oh my favorite" he pulled out a red velvet bag and placed it upon the desk gently before tossing the others beside it. Putting the small chest away he reached over to the velvet bag and untied its rope and pulled a rather modern looking bag, opening it he plucked out a few and popped them into his mouth before holding the opened package out to her "Would you like a Jelly Baby?" he questioned with a smile.

Harry Potter was truly furious with Draco for what he'd done. Not only to him but to now Luna? That git had it coming to him. Harry had fought with himself many times in the past to not lay a finger on Draco Malfoy but that pompous platinum blonde was really asking for it especially after this. Harry wasn't sure how much longer he'd be able to hold back resorting to violence, literal physical violence. He knew Dumbledore would find a way to get Draco expelled but the young wizard was more than certain that the Slytherin's evill git of a father would find a way to bend the system and get his son back in school. To think, Draco honestly had it in him to be not only a conniving jerk, but actually cause bodily harm to another student. Another student granted she was a bit off and weird at times, but she was still a friend to Harry and did no harm to anyone, why did Draco focus his wrath on Luna? It was pointless in Harry's opinion. Poor Luna, Harry thought. He hoped it could be reversed because having ten years of life stolen from you in the blink of an eye was the worst thing ever.
As dinner was upon them, Harry walked with Hermione into the Great Hall the entire place was buzzing about what had happened to Luna Lovegood and for the most part, Harry wasn't feeling up to hearing it at all. it was near sickening the wizard as he pushed the food around on his plate with his spoon. He ate a bit here and there but it wasn't all that much to begin with. Just seeing what Luna had to go through, just seeng her confusion, her fear, she worried facial expression. It was all too much for Harry and he wasn't even the one going through it. With a deep dragged in breath, Harry gave a sigh and looked to Hermione having heard her huffed word. From what he could tell they were both feeling similar feelings about the whole thing.
Perhaps they needed time away from this? Just then Rose muttered pointless detention, the green eyed boy turned his attention to her before looking to Hermione the two locking eyes and then Hermione's voice speaking to him he gave a nod. "Yes I agree with you, talking with Rose, try to get answers to our now boiling questions. I do hope she tells us at least something. We have to know, even if it’s a small piece of information. I doubt she's a threat, perhaps she's here to help? I just hope she cooperates" he spoke to Hermione in a whisper. As dinner came to an end the small group of Gryffindors returning to their common room to finish up homework that they couldn't earlier.
As they sat in the common room suggestions of doing something special for their Ravenclaw friend was buzzing about. Harry tossed in a few suggestions as did the others. The boy who lived had gotten numerous desserts from Hogsmeade in past trips and figured they'd do good in cheering Luna up. at least he hoped so. Once work was done, suggestions for the gift to Luna was planned out and done with, Harry turned his attention to Hermione as he gave her a smile and nodded, agreeing to meet her out in the hallway. In a sense Harry figured why she wanted to meet with him, he'd told her just the other night that he'd think about the forming of the club and in all honesty. Harry did think about it, quite a bit during his sleepless nights and in the end he had decided to do it. It wasn't going to be just for him, it wasn't just for him but it was for everyone who was willing to join in and help. For those who could see the deceitful changes and lies that were going on in the school.
Once the two were alone in the hallway he leaned up against the wall and looked toward Hermione, as she spoke to him he could instantly tell she was nervous. But why be nervous? "I understand, Hermione. After the attack on Luna, things have been pushed forward, that wasn't just a simple fifth year potion. Those type of potions takes years of mastery to produce. So how did Draco even learn it? Sure Fred and George did that last year to cheat their ways into the Tri-Wizard tournament but this potion was far more advanced. I hate to say it, Hermione but … Draco is dangerous. A lot more than we ever expected" Harry hushed and listened to her final words, he felt the gentle weight of her hand upon his shoulder. Reaching up he placed his hand over hers and held it gently.
"I know I’m not alone. I know I have Ron and the others but … to be honest I wouldn't care if they were by my side or not" he spoke his words truthfully." Having you there with me means so much more, Hermione" he gave her a smile "So yes, I will do it. This isn't for just us. this is for the safety of the entire school. Hogwarts is my home. I will not let this castle fall. As long as I'm stil alive and breathing I will fight." his voice was confident, strong, Harry Potter was a true leader after all.
"I know this must be extremely hard for you, Luna" the man slowly extended his hand out and placed it upon her shoulder in a gentle manner "As I've said before, you're not alone. I will be here to help you through this tough time. I too know what's like to feel lost, to feel confused and very much alone." his mind drifted back to his memories, that feeling of loneliness creeping back to him as he shook his mind free of his thoughts and brought his deep chocolate brown eyed gaze to Luna as he gave her a faint smile "I shall leave you so you can get some rest as I am more than certain you need it. Plus time to think" he gave her shoulder a gentle pat "Remember if you need me for anything you know where to find me" his voice held a gentler tone, a more compassionate and understanding tone. "Rest well, Miss Lovegood" with that the Doctor turned and headed out, closing the curtain behind him to leave Luna with privacy as she rested and thought a bit to herself.
The Time Lord took his time as he ventured down the stairs to the first floor of the castle, looking about as students passed. Everything that had happened so far was beginning to leave a weight in his chest, in his hearts. The Time Lord needed to get away from the school, that would probably be the only way he could get some time to clear his head and think for a bit, dwell in his thoughts per say. Sure being here again in the wizarding world and actually partaking in the adventure was all fine and dandy but for right now he needed to be in his TARDIS to clear his head. Without suspicion the Time Lord entered the forbidden forest, knowing exactly where the TARDIS had crash landed. With a snap of his fingers the door opened and he entered the big blue police box and removed his robes tossing it over his brown trench coat in its usual spot. "Hello there ol' girl" he spoke to his TARDIS and neared brushing his fingers along her control panel of the main frame.
Just being in his TARDIS at this moment he was already feeling a bit better, as if his mind was being read the lights in the TARDIS began to dim until the gentle blue glow of the spaceship's main frame was the only light that echoed through it all. "I wish I had answers for all of this. You locked onto .. a trace of Time Lord d.n.a that's what brought us here" he was speaking to the TARDIS as he'd done many times in the past. She was very much alive that much he knew. "I only wish I could figure out who it is. I'm the last one, no one else made it out alive. They couldn't have" his mind was a whirl of chaotic thoughts as images of the past returned to him bringing warm sorrowful tears to the Time Lord's eyes at the memories. "That day I ended it all… I should have died with them.." the Doctor gulped thickly and took in a deepened shaken breath, wiping the tears that broke free from the corner of his eyes.
"But no such luck… I now travel this universe alone. Yes sure I met Rose but I have a very strong feeling in the bottom of my hearts that she won't be accompanying me for long. I barely even know her…" he shook his head "But Luna…. she holds such a gentle soul, she's been through so much even more so now than ever. That potion… whatever it was it can't be reversed." He was still wording his thoughts mainly to himself aloud, now. With a heavy sigh the Time Lord reached up and combed his fingers through his extremely unruly yet amazing hair "Perhaps… no … that's just a daft thought." he shook whatever thoughts he had, free from his mind. Closing his eyes the Time Lord allowed his body to relax as he succumbed to a very gentle slumber that had been beckoning him since his classes had ended for the morning.
Time had passed and the Doctor was awake getting a clean refresher in both his body and mind, taking up his robes the Doctor slipped them on and headed out of his TARDIS and back to the castle. He resumed with the remainder of his classes until his schedule became free and figured Rose would be too. Then again he didn't know much of the classes other than the students who attended his own but it was worth a shot. After some time of looking he figured the blonde was probably in a classroom somewhere and instead of poking his head around to try to find her, The Doctor figured he'd just head up to his room, yet that wasn't what happened when he heard rapid padding of footsteps which was rare and scarce during class time and as they neared. The Time Lord slowly turned around to find Luna Lovegood heading his way in a small jog. The man couldn't stop himself when a smile graced his handsome features as he watched her near he opened his mouth to greet her yet before the words could come forth he listened to her words which caused those deep brown eyes of his to widen as a rather shocked expression played across his face. Stunned for that moment is what the Doctor was "You saw a metal.. wand?" he slowly reached into his pocket and pulled out his sonic screwdriver, it looked like a normal sonic screwdriver to him but he knew the chameleon circuit was still working so how was it that Luna could actually see it for what it really was? This young woman was getting even more spectacular by the moment in the Doctor's eyes.
"You truly are a gifted witch, Miss Lovegood" he gave her a broadened smile, slipping his sonic back into his robes "Come with me" he slowly extended his hand out to her "We'll talk in my office, I'm sure you have questions that have needed answering" was he going to do it? Was he going to explain it all to her? He'd only just met her earlier this morning, but she could see him for who he truly was. At least his aura and his Time Lord technology, she really was a gifted individual, perhaps she was the one? The one destined to be his new companion? In a sense the Doctor hoped so but only time would truly tell.
As they walked the Doctor began to speak to Luna about things as they headed through the corridors, in a sense trying to comfort her as she seemed even more timid and uncertain than before. "Things are changing all around us… in every single moment of time that passes" he held onto her hand which at the moment he felt she needed. A hand to hold, a reassurance that things would be okay. At this moment in time, he was there for her and he wanted her to know that. Leading the way into his muggle studies classroom and into the back to his office the Doctor moved to his desk and sat down with a wave of his sonic screwdriver still under the 'magical' influence of the chameleon circuit he pulled up a chair for Luna to have a seat.
"You've spoken to me about auras. you've been able to see my aura.. I can tell you right now, Miss Lovegood. No one has ever told me that before. You are the first" he gave her a smile and slowly set his sonic screwdriver. His eyes moving to the device "You've been able to see my aura, see my metal wand as you called it." He took up his sonic and held it out to her "This is called a sonic screwdriver. It's not a wand, it's a device that helps me unlock doors, change codings in technology, in .. science ... things" he cleared his throat for a moment realizing she wouldn't understand much of it "It's not from this time, not from this world in fact. And in a sense neither am I" he pursed his lips together for a moment and thought before reaching into his robes, and into his suit jacket and pulled out his psychic paper. He thought of a phrase 'Hello there Luna. I'm the Doctor, I'm an alien species called a Time Lord' is what the paper would say if she could see it. But if she was as clever as he thought she was, he was more than certain she'd just see it as a blank piece of paper inside a leather casing.

Professor Smith sat there as he spoke "No problem at all, I always have time to help out my students. So what evening is best for you, Miss Tyler?" his clear blue eyes lifted to Rose as he awaited her answer only to find that her mind had wandered elsewhere for she stood there looking off into 'space' per say. A rather amused expression crossed the hidden Time Lord's face as he watched her return to reality "Welcome back to the present, Miss Tyler" he poked a bit of fun at her as a smile touched his lips. finally hearing her answer the man gave a nod and made a note in the book before blowing a bit of air on it for the ink to dry faster as it did he shut it and placed the quill back in the ink bottle his eyes lifting to Rose once more "All set, I'll be seeing you tomorrow evening after dinner. Until then Miss Tyler, please do be careful." he gave her a wave as he waited her exit his room.
Once the man was alone he slowly took up his wand and gave it a wave his classroom door shutting. Setting the wand down he took up his fob watch and slowly but surely the man sat back in his chair his fumbling with the watch as his mind wandered. Sitting back even further he brought his feet up to rest crossed at the ankles in a relaxed position as he closed his eyes and allowed his body to rest up a bit his finger unconsciously running along the beautifully etched designs on the front of the fob watch.. It was his down time, his off time, Lunch was over, sure he had to finish grading his papers but in his opinion that could wait, it wasn't like it had to be done right this instant, no. He could do that later, it was just a bit of his laid back lazed attitude poking through his unknown façade he was living at the current moment.
As he rested his eyes closing as his fingertips traced the watch's designs something he'd subconsciously do from time to time without even noticing. As he did this deep in his subconscious mind images began to form. He could see through a fogged haze what looked to be twin suns rising over the horizon. Within moments the images became clearer and clearer as if he were seeing it all in real time. The twin suns rising over the mountains, shining against silver leaves of the trees, its petals sparkling radiantly the reflections of light catching against the crimson grass below. It looked absolutely beautiful as he rested a smile touched the man's lips. 'The shining world of the seven systems' a voice rang, his own voice deep within the crevices of his subconscious. 'The shining world' echoed once more. A warm comfort spreading over him yet in an instant he was pulled from his relaxation as his classroom door opening caused the man to snap from his thoughts, and subconscious images.
Students began filing in and taking their seats one by one, sitting there the man lowered his feet from his desk and stood up looking to his class, the last student entering and closing the door before taking his seat. Professor Smith looked to his class, a somewhat distant look in the man's eyes "open your books and review a bit of yesterday's chapter. I shall return shortly" he picked up the book he'd jotted Rose's appointment in and disappeared into his office the door shutting behind him. He'd seen glimpses of the twin suns, the silver leaved trees but this was something in such detail it almost felt real. "The shining world?..." moving to his desk he opened his book and flipped to the back pages and jotted it down. Never before had he heard his own voice echo those words before within his mind. On the page beside the blank one he'd just written in were scribbled words, pictures, a box he'd drawn every single thing that came to him in his dreams he'd write down and sketch across. Stories, fairy tales, there was nothing of the sort here. Sure it was a world of magic but that blue box seemed much more than magical. It held a different structure 'The seven systems' he heard his own voice repeat in his now conscious mind. shaking it from his head he jotted that below his previous entry and slammed the book shut. After several moments of sitting there, simmering in his thoughts he stared down at the fob watch in his hands. Sliding the watch into his robe pocket he arose to his feet and headed out of his office to begin his class.
A few students had questioned if he was alright and all the man could do was give a smile and nod "Of course, just a bit of mental preparation for today's lesson is all. Now" he pulled out his wand "shall we begin?" the hour had passed a lot quicker than the Professor had expected but in a sense he was more than glad it did. Making his way out into the hallway and headed down the corridor the man was about to head to the main floor of the castle when a very familiar and quite annoying voice rang in his ears. Slowly turning around he looked to see he was correct upon seeing the pink tailored women heading his way and surprisingly with Rose behind her "Ah.. Dolores, pleasure to see you" he man gave a fake enthused smile, his lack of attention or interest shun through as he listened to her explanation but gave a nod "of course, I'll take care of her. Go on" when the pink woman walked away the man turned his gaze to Rose a rather amused expression upon his features "I'll see you after dinner at my office, Miss Tyler"
After his small relaxation session in his office, that image, that scene, the beautiful sense of warmth that had washed over him. That was something the hidden Time Lord wasn't able to push from his mind, he needed that air most definitely. Heading out the double doors of the front of the castle the professor found a place to relax, he leaned up against the building his eyes lifting to the moon as he sat there beneath the stars. Throughout dinner the man stayed outside until he felt it was the right time to head inside. He didn't want to keep Rose standing outside his classroom waiting for him, that would be rude. Making his way back into the castle he headed down the corridor leading to his classroom, Rose coming into view. having heard her protest the man couldn't help but smirk a chuckle leaving his lips as he neared "I'm sure you didn't, Miss Tyler. Half the students she puts into detention are falsely accused and horribly punished for it. She's a bit of a nut job if you want my opinion" he opened his classroom door and allowed her in before following behind her.
What struck him though was her final statement "shouldn't have to take notes you say?" he questioned curiously "That it doesn't matter?" his blue eyes moved to her a rather curious look lingering within his eyes "Why Miss Tyler, is that implying something?" the amused expression from their earlier encounters was once again upon his features as he looked to her "Please do share what's going on in that mind of yours" heading into his office he opened the door and gestured for her to follow "Being in your seventh year, final exams upon you. the chance of finishing. I would think that would be really important to a young witch" he moved to his desk and took a seat, bringing his feet up to rest against the desk crossing at the ankles "I really have nothing planned for your detention. So by all means I'll just be keeping you here for an hour. it was an unscheduled detention. No plans were made. How about we just throw all rules out the window and relax, get rid of titles and let loose and just talk shall we?"
The Hidden Time Lord lowered his feet down and reached into his desk drawer and pulled out a small chest with sweets "Let's see here.. I've got chocolate frogs, bertie bott's every flavour beans, licorice wands and oh my favorite" he pulled out a red velvet bag and placed it upon the desk gently before tossing the others beside it. Putting the small chest away he reached over to the velvet bag and untied its rope and pulled a rather modern looking bag, opening it he plucked out a few and popped them into his mouth before holding the opened package out to her "Would you like a Jelly Baby?" he questioned with a smile.

Harry Potter was truly furious with Draco for what he'd done. Not only to him but to now Luna? That git had it coming to him. Harry had fought with himself many times in the past to not lay a finger on Draco Malfoy but that pompous platinum blonde was really asking for it especially after this. Harry wasn't sure how much longer he'd be able to hold back resorting to violence, literal physical violence. He knew Dumbledore would find a way to get Draco expelled but the young wizard was more than certain that the Slytherin's evill git of a father would find a way to bend the system and get his son back in school. To think, Draco honestly had it in him to be not only a conniving jerk, but actually cause bodily harm to another student. Another student granted she was a bit off and weird at times, but she was still a friend to Harry and did no harm to anyone, why did Draco focus his wrath on Luna? It was pointless in Harry's opinion. Poor Luna, Harry thought. He hoped it could be reversed because having ten years of life stolen from you in the blink of an eye was the worst thing ever.
As dinner was upon them, Harry walked with Hermione into the Great Hall the entire place was buzzing about what had happened to Luna Lovegood and for the most part, Harry wasn't feeling up to hearing it at all. it was near sickening the wizard as he pushed the food around on his plate with his spoon. He ate a bit here and there but it wasn't all that much to begin with. Just seeing what Luna had to go through, just seeng her confusion, her fear, she worried facial expression. It was all too much for Harry and he wasn't even the one going through it. With a deep dragged in breath, Harry gave a sigh and looked to Hermione having heard her huffed word. From what he could tell they were both feeling similar feelings about the whole thing.
Perhaps they needed time away from this? Just then Rose muttered pointless detention, the green eyed boy turned his attention to her before looking to Hermione the two locking eyes and then Hermione's voice speaking to him he gave a nod. "Yes I agree with you, talking with Rose, try to get answers to our now boiling questions. I do hope she tells us at least something. We have to know, even if it’s a small piece of information. I doubt she's a threat, perhaps she's here to help? I just hope she cooperates" he spoke to Hermione in a whisper. As dinner came to an end the small group of Gryffindors returning to their common room to finish up homework that they couldn't earlier.
As they sat in the common room suggestions of doing something special for their Ravenclaw friend was buzzing about. Harry tossed in a few suggestions as did the others. The boy who lived had gotten numerous desserts from Hogsmeade in past trips and figured they'd do good in cheering Luna up. at least he hoped so. Once work was done, suggestions for the gift to Luna was planned out and done with, Harry turned his attention to Hermione as he gave her a smile and nodded, agreeing to meet her out in the hallway. In a sense Harry figured why she wanted to meet with him, he'd told her just the other night that he'd think about the forming of the club and in all honesty. Harry did think about it, quite a bit during his sleepless nights and in the end he had decided to do it. It wasn't going to be just for him, it wasn't just for him but it was for everyone who was willing to join in and help. For those who could see the deceitful changes and lies that were going on in the school.
Once the two were alone in the hallway he leaned up against the wall and looked toward Hermione, as she spoke to him he could instantly tell she was nervous. But why be nervous? "I understand, Hermione. After the attack on Luna, things have been pushed forward, that wasn't just a simple fifth year potion. Those type of potions takes years of mastery to produce. So how did Draco even learn it? Sure Fred and George did that last year to cheat their ways into the Tri-Wizard tournament but this potion was far more advanced. I hate to say it, Hermione but … Draco is dangerous. A lot more than we ever expected" Harry hushed and listened to her final words, he felt the gentle weight of her hand upon his shoulder. Reaching up he placed his hand over hers and held it gently.
"I know I’m not alone. I know I have Ron and the others but … to be honest I wouldn't care if they were by my side or not" he spoke his words truthfully." Having you there with me means so much more, Hermione" he gave her a smile "So yes, I will do it. This isn't for just us. this is for the safety of the entire school. Hogwarts is my home. I will not let this castle fall. As long as I'm stil alive and breathing I will fight." his voice was confident, strong, Harry Potter was a true leader after all.
The entire encounter between the hidden Time Lord and Rose Tyler was a peculiar one, but that didn't seem to bother the man one bit. There was just something about her that was very off. A student not wanting to wear the school's attire? That hadn't happened in his years of teaching there at the school, but here she was a young woman claiming to be from Beauxbaton. Granted she was a beautiful young woman but she didn't hold the near perfectly flawless features of a French witch, nor the accent so of course the Charms professor had numerous questions buzzing around in his head. Just standing there looking to her the man could tell she was a bit nervous, but about what? "You're very welcome, Miss Tyler" Maybe she needed someone to talk to? The hidden Time Lord wanted to offer an ear to listen, it was just the good nature in him but at the moment? He had a class to teach so he spoke nothing of the sort and went along with the task of teaching his students.

Double Potions, Harry never enjoyed Severus' classes but he knew he had to admit that the man was quite the man knew what he was doing. But there was still that loathing, boiling anger almost hate that the Gryffindor held for the school's potions master. Double Potions, Harry didn't only have to look at that greasy hair, listen to that monotone voice, stare at that darkness for not only one class hour but for two. Why double potions? Harry would often think to himself. But having his friends by his side things were better in his opinion. The first hour class passed by soothingly without a hitch, the second hour on the other hand was a bit more difficult for the boy who lived to swallow but he managed to do it. Once the finale of the two hour class came to an end Harry took in a deep sigh of relief, it was over, it was finally over. Just as Harry was packing up he saw her, the woman who had already caused him quite a deal of pain, making him more than likely permanently scarred for the rest of his life. His eyes averted down to the marking 'I must not tell lies' and his blood almost immediately began to boil.
Thanks be to Merlin, Harry thought as Hermione's voice pulled him from his angered thoughts. Slowly but sure his green eyes tore from the pink wearing spawn of evil to the brown eyes of his best friend. Having heard her words clearly, then feeling the her pull him along he didn't have to be told twice and gave her a nod following her out of the classroom. As the two headed up to the main floor of the castle Hearing her suggestion Harry could only not "That's a brilliant idea Hermione" was all he could really say, she truly was reading his mind per say. It had happened a lot, perhaps that’s why they were best friends? they understood each other nearly completely. The morning classes had ended and lunch was upon the school in its entirety With that Harry and Hermione walked together into the Great Hall to get some well deserved food after what had gone down that morning.
Sitting at the Gryffindor table, Harry was sitting across from Hermione yet had Ginny and her smothering nearly clinging to his robes. He was already half way through his plate when Rose joined them. "Hello Rose" the green eyed boy gave a smile to her before returning his attention to his plate and continuing to eat. He hadn't eaten much of breakfast that morning and after the hell from Draco during Muggle Studies and his body going through a battle to not lash out at the annoying blond slytherin. In other words, Harry Potter had worked him into quite the hunger frenzy, he needed to eat that much was certain. When Rose began to ask Hermione questions that in a sense drew the attention of both the brunette and redheaded best friends of Hermione to turn their gaze to the two. Why would Rose need help? She was a witch wasn't she? Ron's interested waned quite quickly as he turned his gaze to his other side and return to striking up a conversation with his fellow Gryffindors.
Harry on the other hand sat there, no longer eating and just listened to Hermione give her an answer to Rose's question. It seemed this blue police box riding blonde was raising even more suspicions from the green eyed Gryffindor and those suspicions were raising questions that weren't getting answered. Why was this bothering him so much? He figured he'd voice his questions to Hermione once given the chance. Again as if by 'magic' she spoke to him suggesting the library. "Sound like a perfect idea, Hermione" he pulled his robes free from Ginny who gave a roll of her eyes and resumed talking to her friends, her eyes occasionally glaring to Hermione as the wild haired gryffindors exited the Great Hall. When it was just Harry and Hermione the usual duo walking side by side as they ascended up the staircase toward the library her words rang as clear as day in the boy's ears as he listened. It often amazed him how in sync they were with one another. "We're on the same page there Hermione, I have been making mental notes since the moment we saw that box, saw her. Then Professor Logan? There are too many … sudden appearances for this to be normal. Once Rose doesn't dress in uniform. I'm more than certain she was provided with something. Two she comes out of that box. It's not even from this time or place. It looks muggle made but we both know looks can be very deceiving."
As they arrived to the library, Harry stayed beside Hermione and listened to what she had to add to his words and gave a nod "Well if she is from the future, she couldn't have come alone. Think about it. She arrives and the day after we get a new substitute for Muggle Studies, a man we've never seen before. They have to be together, but why are they here? What is their purpose? With Umbridge running the show I think well… at least I'm HOPING with them being here it will bring some good." he remained by her side his eyes scanning the book titles, not exactly sure what they were looking for to being with so he could help. "Merlin knows we don't need any more bad right now. He took in heavy breath as he sighed "I just wish all of these questions spinning around in my head would receive answers" he slowly reached and removed his round spectacles and rubbed his eyes. "It's so frustrating" he gave a tired sigh.
After a bit of time in the library the news of Luna Lovegood getting attacked had reached Harry and Hermione, almost immediately the two wrapped up what they were reading up on and headed toward the infirmary to see if their friend was okay. At first they weren't allowed in, none of them were but once given the okay the two headed right in. Expecting to see just a regular Luna probably all snuggled up in her pajamas under the covers what they saw was something Harry was more than certain neither one of them expected. Was that Luna? Harry at first was at a loss his eyes slowly turning to Hermione "Poor Luna.." who could it have been? He listened to Madam Pomfrey explain to Luna once she awoke what had happened. He knew it, it had to have been that pompous jerk, Draco Malfoy who would do this to Luna.
Harry stood there his green eyes taking in Luna as she began to examine herself in the mirror as she gave a small 'freak' out and dropped the mirror it breaking upon impact on the floor. The wizard winced at the sound before returning his attention to the mid twenty year old Ravenclaw in the bed. He didn't speak a word and let hermione do the talking, when she grabbed his hand, Harry held hers, giving her a reassuring squeeze to let her know he was there. It was their connection of sorts. It seemed the two had the same anger since at that moment, Harry wanted to beat the snot out of Draco with his bare hands.

Professor Smith sat at his desk going over parchment after parchment of assignments students turned in during his previous class before lunch. It was more of a skim through the first few paragraphs if it made sense he'd give a positive grade and on some if they really caught his attention he'd put in 'Fantastic' in his own lettering but those were rare. If the papers didn't meet his requirements he'd toss it aside and go to the next. He worked diligently until there was an abrupt knock upon the door, he was in mid 'fantastic' write when the noise had caused him to scratch the needle of the quill against the parchment "Ah well" he tossed both the quill and parchment aside before getting to his feet. 'Who on earth could that be at this hour?' he thought.
Making his way to the door he opened it and a brush of blonde locks came into his immediate view "Ah Miss Tyl--" but before he could even finish his statement she blurted out her question to him. A tutor? why would this girl need a tutor? The hidden Time Lord could only give her a smile "A tutor you say? you're in luck then, Miss Tyler. I'm free all week after classes." he opened his door fully and stepped aside "Please, come on in, Let's get to scheduling something that works for you. Don’t want to take up all your time, of course" as she were to enter Mr. Smith closed the door and headed over to his desk where he sat down and took out a rather new leather encased book for writing. He opened it and took up his quill dipping it in the ink. Writing her name he began to make a few lines before lifting his gaze to her "Let's see here. I'm more than certain you'd want to enjoy your time with your newly made friends in Gryffindor this week so I won't keep you too long. How about tomorrow evening an hour of tutoring? or perhaps if you want something sooner, this evening after dinner? Your choice, Miss Tyler"

The Doctor had finish with lunch, finished with his grading of papers and had went about the classroom putting things in order. That was until he opened his classroom door and watched as students moved about in the corridor. It seemed like normal student behavior, nothing to really pay attention to, that was until the words of a student rang in his ears 'Did you hear what happened to Luna? Draco Malfoy is in for it for sure.' for the pompous git to be in grave trouble, he had to have done something very horrible. but what? Would it be wrong for the Doctor to check up on one of his students? Should he just leave it at that and not draw suspicion? But the Time Lord couldn't help it, he was very curious and wanted to know if she was alright. She was one of his students, so why not see if she was alright?
Deciding to go ahead and head off the Time Lord headed up the stairs, making his way toward the Infirmary, he'd seen Harry and Hermione at the bottom main floor of the castle when he gave them a hello and headed up. It wasn't long until the Doctor stepped into the infirmary and was immediately greeted by Madam Pomfrey.
"Hello Mr. Logan, can I assist you with something?" she asked him curiously yet she had an idea as to why he was there. "If it's about Miss Lovegood, she will be fine"
The Doctor gave a nod "She's a student of mine, I heard something had happened and just wanted to pay my respects and visit her"
The nurse gave a nod "Of course, follow me" with that the Doctor followed the woman as she showed him to where Luna was located she left him be.
The Doctor took a hold of the curtain and pulled it back just a bit, stepping through he was taken aback as he looked to her appearance. There was a look of shock upon his facial features "Luna?" she looked like herself just more mature. It took him a moment to rid himself of the shocked expression but he soon gave her a sad smile but still a smile "I heard that something had happened to you and.. felt I needed to see if you were alright" which was true, but why? Why was he so captivated by this girl? Well not really a girl anymore but young woman. Perhaps because he saw a bit of his personality within her? They were similar in a few ways, just their thought patterns is what the Time Lord could make out from those few moments of spending time with her after class.
Slowly but surely the Time Lord neared her "I won't hurt you I just need to check something" he reached into his robes and pulled out his sonic screwdriver which was chameleonized to look like a wand. The tip of his wand began t o glow a shade of blue as he did a full body scan of Luna. her entire D.N.A had matured, there was no refusing it. It couldn't be reversed that's what he was getting from the feed of the Sonic's readings. "You seems to be alright health wise. Steady heart rhythm and all. You'll pull through just fine, Luna" he gave her a smile "But.. I want you to know you're not alone, if you ever need to talk about something that's on your mind. Regardless of how ludicrous it may sound. You can always talk to me and I promise you it won't go passed me. Whatever you and I discuss will be completely confidential" he spoke to her in a confident and trusting tone giving her a reassuring smile to let her know that everything would be alright.

There are too many … sudden appearances for this to be normal. Once Rose doesn't dress in uniform. I'm more than certain she was provided with something. Two she comes out of that box. It's not even from this time or place. It looks muggle made but we both know looks can be very deceiving."
As they arrived to the library, Harry stayed beside Hermione and listened to what she had to add to his words and gave a nod "Well if she is from the future, she couldn't have come alone. Think about it. She arrives and the day after we get a new substitute for Muggle Studies, a man we've never seen before. They have to be together, but why are they here? What is their purpose? With Umbridge running the show I think well… at least I'm HOPING with them being here it will bring some good." he remained by her side his eyes scanning the book titles, not exactly sure what they were looking for to being with so he could help. "Merlin knows we don't need any more bad right now. He took in heavy breath as he sighed "I just wish all of these questions spinning around in my head would receive answers" he slowly reached and removed his round spectacles and rubbed his eyes. "It's so frustrating" he gave a tired sigh.
After a bit of time in the library the news of Luna Lovegood getting attacked had reached Harry and Hermione, almost immediately the two wrapped up what they were reading up on and headed toward the infirmary to see if their friend was okay. At first they weren't allowed in, none of them were but once given the okay the two headed right in. Expecting to see just a regular Luna probably all snuggled up in her pajamas under the covers what they saw was something Harry was more than certain neither one of them expected. Was that Luna? Harry at first was at a loss his eyes slowly turning to Hermione "Poor Luna.." who could it have been? He listened to Madam Pomfrey explain to Luna once she awoke what had happened. He knew it, it had to have been that pompous jerk, Draco Malfoy who would do this to Luna.
Harry stood there his green eyes taking in Luna as she began to examine herself in the mirror as she gave a small 'freak' out and dropped the mirror it breaking upon impact on the floor. The wizard winced at the sound before returning his attention to the mid twenty year old Ravenclaw in the bed. He didn't speak a word and let hermione do the talking, when she grabbed his hand, Harry held hers, giving her a reassuring squeeze to let her know he was there. It was their connection of sorts. It seemed the two had the same anger since at that moment, Harry wanted to beat the snot out of Draco with his bare hands.

Professor Smith sat at his desk going over parchment after parchment of assignments students turned in during his previous class before lunch. It was more of a skim through the first few paragraphs if it made sense he'd give a positive grade and on some if they really caught his attention he'd put in 'Fantastic' in his own lettering but those were rare. If the papers didn't meet his requirements he'd toss it aside and go to the next. He worked diligently until there was an abrupt knock upon the door, he was in mid 'fantastic' write when the noise had caused him to scratch the needle of the quill against the parchment "Ah well" he tossed both the quill and parchment aside before getting to his feet. 'Who on earth could that be at this hour?' he thought.
Making his way to the door he opened it and a brush of blonde locks came into his immediate view "Ah Miss Tyl--" but before he could even finish his statement she blurted out her question to him. A tutor? why would this girl need a tutor? The hidden Time Lord could only give her a smile "A tutor you say? you're in luck then, Miss Tyler. I'm free all week after classes." he opened his door fully and stepped aside "Please, come on in, Let's get to scheduling something that works for you. Don’t want to take up all your time, of course" as she were to enter Mr. Smith closed the door and headed over to his desk where he sat down and took out a rather new leather encased book for writing. He opened it and took up his quill dipping it in the ink. Writing her name he began to make a few lines before lifting his gaze to her "Let's see here. I'm more than certain you'd want to enjoy your time with your newly made friends in Gryffindor this week so I won't keep you too long. How about tomorrow evening an hour of tutoring? or perhaps if you want something sooner, this evening after dinner? Your choice, Miss Tyler"

The Doctor had finish with lunch, finished with his grading of papers and had went about the classroom putting things in order. That was until he opened his classroom door and watched as students moved about in the corridor. It seemed like normal student behavior, nothing to really pay attention to, that was until the words of a student rang in his ears 'Did you hear what happened to Luna? Draco Malfoy is in for it for sure.' for the pompous git to be in grave trouble, he had to have done something very horrible. but what? Would it be wrong for the Doctor to check up on one of his students? Should he just leave it at that and not draw suspicion? But the Time Lord couldn't help it, he was very curious and wanted to know if she was alright. She was one of his students, so why not see if she was alright?
Deciding to go ahead and head off the Time Lord headed up the stairs, making his way toward the Infirmary, he'd seen Harry and Hermione at the bottom main floor of the castle when he gave them a hello and headed up. It wasn't long until the Doctor stepped into the infirmary and was immediately greeted by Madam Pomfrey.
"Hello Mr. Logan, can I assist you with something?" she asked him curiously yet she had an idea as to why he was there. "If it's about Miss Lovegood, she will be fine"
The Doctor gave a nod "She's a student of mine, I heard something had happened and just wanted to pay my respects and visit her"
The nurse gave a nod "Of course, follow me" with that the Doctor followed the woman as she showed him to where Luna was located she left him be.
The Doctor took a hold of the curtain and pulled it back just a bit, stepping through he was taken aback as he looked to her appearance. There was a look of shock upon his facial features "Luna?" she looked like herself just more mature. It took him a moment to rid himself of the shocked expression but he soon gave her a sad smile but still a smile "I heard that something had happened to you and.. felt I needed to see if you were alright" which was true, but why? Why was he so captivated by this girl? Well not really a girl anymore but young woman. Perhaps because he saw a bit of his personality within her? They were similar in a few ways, just their thought patterns is what the Time Lord could make out from those few moments of spending time with her after class.
Slowly but surely the Time Lord neared her "I won't hurt you I just need to check something" he reached into his robes and pulled out his sonic screwdriver which was chameleonized to look like a wand. The tip of his wand began t o glow a shade of blue as he did a full body scan of Luna. her entire D.N.A had matured, there was no refusing it. It couldn't be reversed that's what he was getting from the feed of the Sonic's readings. "You seems to be alright health wise. Steady heart rhythm and all. You'll pull through just fine, Luna" he gave her a smile "But.. I want you to know you're not alone, if you ever need to talk about something that's on your mind. Regardless of how ludicrous it may sound. You can always talk to me and I promise you it won't go passed me. Whatever you and I discuss will be completely confidential" he spoke to her in a confident and trusting tone giving her a reassuring smile to let her know that everything would be alright.
The class was filled up rather quickly, the Doctor hadn't expected to see the full main lot of main story characters those Harry Potter books so quickly but here they were. He waited for the students those who had questions but of course he should've known that Draco Malfoy being, the pompous git that he was would try and start trouble. Oh it was going to be quite the long class session and he knew it, he absolutely knew it the moment Draco raised his hand. Hearing the Slytherin's words, the Doctor took in a breath and was about to scold him for making his snide remark toward Hermione. But to his surprise another student spoke, one who seemed to hold quite a bit of knowledge and truthful knowledge at that. The Time Lord averted his gaze as he took in what Luna was saying, a rather intrigued look came upon his features as he leaned against his desk and turned his attention fully on the blonde haired Ravenclaw.
"You are absolutely correct, Miss Lovegood. Thank you for that" his gaze them turned to Hermione as she spoke in a tone toward the Slytherin and as Draco started with a new rant the Doctor gave a clear of his throat "Owes you and your family?" his tone in a slight annoyed manner the Time Lord brought his gaze to the blonde Slytherin. A stern look in dark brown eyes "oh don't be do daft, Draco. The wizarding world was around a lot longer than even your family." he shook his head knowing that was out of line. "Alright, enough of that. Any more questions can wait until after today's lecture, eh?. Let's begin class, shall we?" Not allowing any other student to interrupt the morning's session the Doctor took off with his teachings. He'd read about the Harry Potter Era and had even visited a few times during Gordric Gryffindor and the other creators of the school were kids, during previous regenerations of course. So needless to say he knew quite a bit about the era.
Class went by rather smoothly after that small outbreak due to Draco, the Doctor was just glad that his first class ever taught went by great without much of a hitch and that students were actually listening and paying attention, whole heartedly asking questions and ever so interested in the class. At least most of them, aside from the Slytherins and their pompous behaviors which the Time Lord didn't appreciate at all. But after meeting Salazar Slytherin he could see why all the Slytherins were as foul and cold blooded as serpents. The class rounded to an end, the Doctor gave a smile and thanks to the class. "That'll be all, thank you all for making this teaching session quite enjoyable" the Time Lord gave a smile and dismissed them all.
Harry had packed up his messenger bag quickly, he didn't mind the class, quite enjoyed it to be honest but right now? After the outbreak from Draco? Being so foul to Hermione? That bothered him a great deal but right now he wasn't up to dealing with anything at all. He had way too much on his plate as it was. Once all packed up, his bag over his shoulder he blinked upon Hermione taking his harm but hurried with her as they walked out of the classroom together. Of course right when Harry hoped that they were free, Draco's voice rang in the green eyed wizard's ears and his words caused Harry's anger to spike. He was about to comment which would have probably broken out in a full on argument or worse but Hermione pulled him along toward the dungeons for their Double Potions class.
In Double Charms, Mr. Smith had rambled on about charms the differences and for those who had possibly forgotten how to cast which he knew that they didn't but he still had that feeling that Rose Tyler wasn't who she truly said she was in terms of Beaubaxton so the demonstration was still mainly for her. The class had went on rather nicely, no interruptions, no annoying students it was a very pleasant teaching experience. Then again like he'd notice, Mr. Smith was a more laid back sort of guy, didn't matter to him who paid attention, who didn’t. That was just his form of teaching. As the class rounded to an end and went about their own way for a break before the second half of the class, Mr. Smith sat at his desk his eyes scanning over the next chapter he'd be discussing when all of a sudden he hear a voice asking him a question. He remembered that voice and knew who it belonged to, without living his gaze he answered "Carlisle, a city in North West England" however her next question threw him off guard.
Bringing those blue eyes to meet hers Mr. Smith gave a look of confusion but soon a smile tugged at his lips "Through time yes, I have been curious about the past. But as you say a Time turner doesn't count? Well then I suppose I haven't" he slowly closed his book and brought his elbows upon the desk top as he looked directly at her, she'd managed to get his full attention with her statements "Now traveling through space would be quite the adventure, eh?" his smile broadened at the idea "Sadly though no, I'm just a Charms Professor is all. Sorry to disappoint, Miss Tyler" hearing her final words there they got the hidden Time Lord to blink "Really? you think of that of me? Well thank you kindly, Miss Tyler. It's not often I get comments and compliments such as that" he looked to her closely "I suppose I can say similar about you" he gave a glance at her attire "You look and dress and actually sound like a girl out of her element. Nothing wrong with that at all, I might add" he smiled to her before preparing for the second half of class.
The Doctor had already set up for his next class by the time Luna walked up to him. He found himself leaning back against the front of his desk, he waited there quite patiently as she simply stared at him. The Time Lord wasn't bothered by it, but why on earth was she staring at him, she was studying him, what was she seeing? This very much intrigued the Time Lord as he slowly brought his arms to calmly cross over his chest as he looked to her quite the curious look upon his face. When she finally snapped out of it and spoke to him, the man raised his eyebrows in surprise at her words. His aura? she could see his aura? Well she really was quite the peculiar one, wasn't she? The Doctor couldn't help but give her a smile "Thank you for the observation, Miss Lovegood." but she continued speaking of his eyes. Something about her caused the Doctor to be a bit taken aback, what was this sudden realization? He looked to her with curious eyes as he smiled to her.
Yet she was cut off, his eyes falling upon the parchment ball that sat her feet. He gave a light sigh but looked to Luna "It's quite alright, Luna, no harm done.. for the most part" his eyes fell upon the paper on the floor. When she hurried out of the classroom, the Doctor gave a sigh "Oi!" he spoke out to the student and with a wave of his 'wand' the ball was levitating in the air, with a flick of his wrist it raced for the student who had flung it and smacked him square between the eyes "Just for that interruption, you can stand for the entire class period" his voice stern as he moved the chair with another flick of his wrist. With an adjustment of his robes the Doctor went starting the lecture.
"You are absolutely correct, Miss Lovegood. Thank you for that" his gaze them turned to Hermione as she spoke in a tone toward the Slytherin and as Draco started with a new rant the Doctor gave a clear of his throat "Owes you and your family?" his tone in a slight annoyed manner the Time Lord brought his gaze to the blonde Slytherin.

Even though Rose seemed a bit on the peculiar side, the green eyed Gryffindor smiled to her. She was definitely a change to their group, but where on earth did she come from? where did that box come from? Harry's mind would drift to his thoughts as he ate his dinner slowly. As if he didn't have a lot on his plate already with Dumbledore's odd behavior, Umbridge being a rabid menace to his home and now Rose showing up in a mysterious police box that obvious wasn't from this time era or even this wizarding world. There was just something very odd about it, but right now Harry knew that in time the truth would be revealed, it had to be right? Everything came to surface at one point or another, at least that's what Harry thought, believed in and held hope in. Nothing could stay hidden forever. Harry was pulled from his thoughts as he looked to Ron who was serving up a third helping of food, the teen's eyes softened as he smiled 'Typical Ron' that boy had an endless pit of a stomach it seemed. When Rose spoke up he brought his attention to her and gave her a nod "Be careful, Rose, the castle is full of all sorts of things" the teen wizard warned. He gave a wave "But do sleep well, good night"
Once she was gone, Harry brought his attention to his two best friends his eyes moving from Ron then to Hermione staring to his bushy haired friend as he gave her a smile before finishing up his food. It wasn't long after that he and Hermione got up and headed off leaving Ron chatting with others until more students turned in. As Harry headed out of the Great Hall with his best friend he and Hermione traveled up the stairs, taking their time as they ascended up the stairs at a slow pace, whispering amongst themselves. "Yeah I'm getting a weird feeling too. Rose isn't from this time, that much is certain but how did she get here? What brought her here? what's her purpose?" he reached up combing his fingers through his untamed hair with a heavy sigh. "The way she looked at us .. I know time travel is possible we've been to the past but it didn't look like she had a Time Turner. and that big blue box? this is just … too confusing right now." he drew in an even heavier sigh than before. As the subject was dropped once they found an empty classroom, Harry walked in with her inside and moved to lean against the wall near the window as he glanced out at the falling speckles of snow in silence as he listened to her speak.
Hearing what was brought to the table with her discussing with Ron he continued to stay silent after her first statements. Harry brought his green eyes to Hermione as he saw her smile and returned the kind gesture "You're right, Hermione" he voice with shake of his head "With Dumbledore not doing anything, Umbridge digging her hands into places they really don't belong. We're not being taught what we should be. We're all at risk, it's like she wants us to fail in protecting ourselves its ridiculous" a worried look came over Harry's face as he continued to listen. Harry himself being a leader and instructing people? Harry? a leader? really? He'd done it throughout the years yes, but this would be breaking every single rule at the school that would no doubt result in immediate expulsion if found out. But to hear this? Hermione herself having so much confidence in him that he could pull this off? That gave Harry a feeling of warmth as it spread through him but then came the dread "I'll have think about it, Hermione" he gave her a look of unease "You're right, but this is a lot to ask of me. You more than anyone else know what I've been through" sometimes Harry had his doubts like now, but with this particular case he knew that this had to be done there was no way around it, he knew that much.
The Time War had done it's damage to the Ninth Doctor, so much death and destruction he needed to get away from it all. After setting his home planet a blaze, with the use of 'the moment' oh how he wanted to just be gone with all and not have to see the world again. But the moment saw it as the price to pay for doing such a horrendous crime of destroying everything he'd grown to love in order to save the universe. The way he'd pay was that he'd survive, he'd be the only survivor of the wreckage, of the destruction and so it was; he'd survived. But now? It wasn't like he'd remember it, no. Something had happened and his memories were wiped, stored in an old fob watch. The woman who'd found him went by the name of Patience, that was all she ever told him. She was a beautiful woman, petite, long curled brown hair, light shade of freckles over her cheeks and to compliment her already stunning features she held the most sparkling hazel honey brown eyes he'd ever seen. Little did he know that this was 'the moment' in disguise as a very familiar face, but one that he couldn't remember. The Moment wanted to leave him where he was safe, where he could escape his memories. She wanted him to have a good life.
Having been fed false memories, from what he knew, John Smith was his name and he held a position of authority at a school called Hogwarts. The Charms professor is what he was, and after speaking with the Headmaster of the school, Professor Smith had slipped into his position quite well, sharing and splitting the years between himself and Professor McGonagall. Upon doing so, he never saw that woman again, Patience. Who was she really? Where did she come from? After time went on, she slipped from his mind and he went on teaching, if one could call it that. John Smith was an easy going guy, didn't like be too hard on the students He himself wasn't a hard minded man either, he was more lazed, didn't like to be put under pressure. Didn't like to have his students under pressure, it wasn't the best when it came to teaching a class and having the students follow through with his explanations but still the class was learning, surprisingly. This evening, it had been another normal day for him, teaching Charms, well rather yapping on about charms. That was the Professor's form of teaching was to give his knowledge and whoever wanted to write down notes, could. It was their choice really if they passed or failed for the year, not his. After finishing up dinner at the Great Hall, the Professor sat and chatted with some of the other adults at the table before bidding good night.
Exiting the Great Hall, John Smith headed along the corridors until he reached the corridor that led to his classroom. As he neared it, he was surprised to see the door open, he knew he always closed it when not in there so for it to be open? Who was in there? Walking up to the door his blue eyes scanned the room as he slowly leaned against the doorway his eyes falling upon a blonde young woman. A young blonde woman who was rummaging through the items on his desk, what on earth could she possibly be looking for? Then she picked it up, his fob watch, one that he always had on him but never opened. With a wave of his wooden wand, there was light in the room as the candles all about the place lit up in an instant. That seemed to cause the girl to drop the item after she'd picked up and finally noticed him, the man couldn't help but tilt his head in confusion at her word.
After introducing herself, who she was and where she was from, John Smith watched her as she neared him. It didn't add up, it only made him more curious about this girl. She claimed she was a transfer from Beauxbaton? That was hard to believe for she didn't hold the thick French accent that at least ninety nine percent of the students and faculty held. He remembered due to having been at Hogwarts the previous year during the Tri-Wizard tournament, and she wasn't even there for the tournament itself. He was more than certain he'd remember seeing her as he never forgot a face. But now wasn't the time to question, no, now was the time to just get her out of his classroom and off to her respected house common room. "Hello " as he spoke with a wave and a smile, his voice held a Northern accent to it, but it was something he never questioned as there were teachers from all over the world. "It's alright, Miss Tyler but next time you are curious, please wait outside my door, it's not that I don't mind having you barge into my classroom but … after dinner? That catches me off guard. During the day is fine. But at night I'd prefer to be prepared rather than taken by surprise. No harm done though, have a good night Miss Tyler" he gave her a smile and was about to step aside out of the doorway when she insisted on squeezing right by to get out.
Not having been able to stop himself from getting a really good look around the school in all perfection that had been written perfectly in those novels, the Doctor found himself wandering the corridors, peeking in on empty classrooms, why not just allow himself a little free time before the actual 'undercover' investigation started the following day? The Doctor had been having such a grand time, he almost felt like a kid in a toy store almost it was that good of a feeling. Never in his nine hundred years had he ever visited this place but now he actually was and he found that to be spectacular. With a grin upon his face he looked toward portraits on the wall, they were really moving, yes he knew of magic and had seen the movies but this? Oh this was beyond brilliant. His thoughts were interrupted though as he had been ran into by Rose.
"There you are" he grinned to her then blinked as she gave him a look "Sorry…" he knew why she'd given him that look. He'd sent out her of the TARDIS unprepared, well he was more than certain she'd be given what she needed. When she began to explain on a lead his eyebrows shot up in surprise, wow she worked quick. Though sadly before he was even able to get any information from her he heard three pairs of footsteps rounding the corner. "Right, of course" as she walked off he turned his attention to the three Slytherin misfits. Giving them a stern look the Doctor watched as they were on their way. His eyes followed them closely before he was left alone in the corridor. Only then did he head for his sleeping quarters to turn in the for the night. Not that Time Lords slept all that much but after everything with the living plastics the Doctor was feeling a bit tired.
In the classroom with Hermione, Harry stood there his mind was racing and stretching out in all different directions it was more than a lot to take in for him. She was asking a lot of him and the wizard wasn't really sure on how to go about it all if he even decided to do it. hearing that it could be fun, Harry gave a somewhat puzzled look to his face, was she serious? that would be fun? But Harry wasn't looking at it with an open mind, no he was looking at it from the 'consequences' view. That was until she began to list off what he'd been going through, no doubt Ron about the not sleeping much for sure. When she spoke of trying to help him, Harry couldn't help but smile as he gave a nod. Before he could even answer she had stepped close to him and was pulling him into a tight embrace. One he returned instantly as he held her close to him a feeling he never got tired of, she always knew when he needed a hug, a shoulder, an ear to listen. Through everything, Hermione was there for him and he appreciated her for it. "I will" was his answer to her as he followed her out of the classroom. Catching up to her instantly as they ascended up the steps toward their common room. Once the password was given the two stepping into the common room itself. Harry looked around his gaze falling to Hermione as he heard her laugh and smiled "Those were the days, when things were simple at the very beginning" he stood there his mind drifted for that one moment before Hermione spoke to him again, pulling him from his thoughts "Night" he waved back and decided to head to the boy's dorm to turn in.
~*~*~
The morning sun had risen over the horizon, it's warm rays blanketing the school grounds and castle in its bright welcoming light. The staff was up earlier than students on this morning, showering, preparing for their day, John Smith was up and in the Great Hall catching a quick bite to eat. By the time he exited the Great Hall the Doctor was entering it "Good Morning" greeted Smith with a nod as he did any faculty member in the morning, the Doctor giving a respectable nod as he headed for the table for a cup of tea and some breakfast. The two had just passed each other and the Doctor didn't get an inkling of anything, didn't see anything out of the ordinary. Then again he hadn't been looking questioningly at this so called John Smith, he was wanting his morning tea before anything else.
By the time students were filling into their respected classrooms for lectures to begin, John Smith sat at his desk where he normally did, the old heavy and tattered book where he cited most of his lectures from lay sprawled out on the top of his desk as the class filled up with students. Waiting for the last student to enter before he began his lecture, as the final student closed the door John Smith looked about to see who was there and who wasn't. Everyone seemed to be present which was always good, he hated deducting points and would often times just let it slide, he was that sort of lazed professor when it came to such things. "Morning to the lot of you" he gave them a smile "can anyone tell me where we last left off at?" one of the students in the far back raised their hand and answered "ah right right" Professor Smith thought for a moment as he tapped his chin before addressing the class once more "How about we start today with something a bit more challenging? Obviously you lot have been doing great, no need to hold anyone back" he gave a wave of his hand and turned a few pages "let's see here" he skimmed the title of the chapter "Cloaking charms" with that the Professor was off like a rocket babbling on about the proper uses, what should be avoided, how to properly cast and so forth. Those who listened took notes, those who wanted to learn something took notes, but mostly the notes were needed, the Professor never gave exams.
The Doctor hadn't thoroughly checked the castle the night before, he'd been tired and had passed out the moment his head had touched the pillow. So now? he was running late to his first class. His sonic screwdriver had been cloaked as a wooden wand, a little help from his TARDIS' chameleon circuit which had just enough residual energy to cloak his screwdriver to make it more 'wand like' when it came to 'spell casting'. In full professor attire the Doctor walked through the classroom doors, as he headed up to the desk "Good Morning Class, I'm Professor Logan, I'll be teaching you about muggle studies this year, nice to meet you all" the Doctor actually held quite the professional attitude to him, he was actually taking his 'undercover' role quite seriously, though he knew it didn't matter but he wanted to, it could be fun in his opinion. "Hope you're all ready to gain some knowledge about those fascinating muggles." he stepped in front of his desk and leaned against it "from their trinkets, to behaviors, emotions. They're quite spectacular bunch those muggles. you never know what to expect from them really" he reached behind him to grabbed a book before turning his attention to full on class "Any questions before we start?"
Once she was gone, Harry brought his attention to his two best friends his eyes moving from Ron then to Hermione staring to his bushy haired friend as he gave her a smile before finishing up his food. It wasn't long after that he and Hermione got up and headed off leaving Ron chatting with others until more students turned in. As Harry headed out of the Great Hall with his best friend he and Hermione traveled up the stairs, taking their time as they ascended up the stairs at a slow pace, whispering amongst themselves. "Yeah I'm getting a weird feeling too. Rose isn't from this time, that much is certain but how did she get here? What brought her here? what's her purpose?" he reached up combing his fingers through his untamed hair with a heavy sigh. "The way she looked at us .. I know time travel is possible we've been to the past but it didn't look like she had a Time Turner. and that big blue box? this is just … too confusing right now." he drew in an even heavier sigh than before. As the subject was dropped once they found an empty classroom, Harry walked in with her inside and moved to lean against the wall near the window as he glanced out at the falling speckles of snow in silence as he listened to her speak.
Hearing what was brought to the table with her discussing with Ron he continued to stay silent after her first statements. Harry brought his green eyes to Hermione as he saw her smile and returned the kind gesture "You're right, Hermione" he voice with shake of his head "With Dumbledore not doing anything, Umbridge digging her hands into places they really don't belong. We're not being taught what we should be. We're all at risk, it's like she wants us to fail in protecting ourselves its ridiculous" a worried look came over Harry's face as he continued to listen. Harry himself being a leader and instructing people? Harry? a leader? really? He'd done it throughout the years yes, but this would be breaking every single rule at the school that would no doubt result in immediate expulsion if found out. But to hear this? Hermione herself having so much confidence in him that he could pull this off? That gave Harry a feeling of warmth as it spread through him but then came the dread "I'll have think about it, Hermione" he gave her a look of unease "You're right, but this is a lot to ask of me. You more than anyone else know what I've been through" sometimes Harry had his doubts like now, but with this particular case he knew that this had to be done there was no way around it, he knew that much.
The Time War had done it's damage to the Ninth Doctor, so much death and destruction he needed to get away from it all. After setting his home planet a blaze, with the use of 'the moment' oh how he wanted to just be gone with all and not have to see the world again. But the moment saw it as the price to pay for doing such a horrendous crime of destroying everything he'd grown to love in order to save the universe. The way he'd pay was that he'd survive, he'd be the only survivor of the wreckage, of the destruction and so it was; he'd survived. But now? It wasn't like he'd remember it, no. Something had happened and his memories were wiped, stored in an old fob watch. The woman who'd found him went by the name of Patience, that was all she ever told him. She was a beautiful woman, petite, long curled brown hair, light shade of freckles over her cheeks and to compliment her already stunning features she held the most sparkling hazel honey brown eyes he'd ever seen. Little did he know that this was 'the moment' in disguise as a very familiar face, but one that he couldn't remember. The Moment wanted to leave him where he was safe, where he could escape his memories. She wanted him to have a good life.
Having been fed false memories, from what he knew, John Smith was his name and he held a position of authority at a school called Hogwarts. The Charms professor is what he was, and after speaking with the Headmaster of the school, Professor Smith had slipped into his position quite well, sharing and splitting the years between himself and Professor McGonagall. Upon doing so, he never saw that woman again, Patience. Who was she really? Where did she come from? After time went on, she slipped from his mind and he went on teaching, if one could call it that. John Smith was an easy going guy, didn't like be too hard on the students He himself wasn't a hard minded man either, he was more lazed, didn't like to be put under pressure. Didn't like to have his students under pressure, it wasn't the best when it came to teaching a class and having the students follow through with his explanations but still the class was learning, surprisingly. This evening, it had been another normal day for him, teaching Charms, well rather yapping on about charms. That was the Professor's form of teaching was to give his knowledge and whoever wanted to write down notes, could. It was their choice really if they passed or failed for the year, not his. After finishing up dinner at the Great Hall, the Professor sat and chatted with some of the other adults at the table before bidding good night.
Exiting the Great Hall, John Smith headed along the corridors until he reached the corridor that led to his classroom. As he neared it, he was surprised to see the door open, he knew he always closed it when not in there so for it to be open? Who was in there? Walking up to the door his blue eyes scanned the room as he slowly leaned against the doorway his eyes falling upon a blonde young woman. A young blonde woman who was rummaging through the items on his desk, what on earth could she possibly be looking for? Then she picked it up, his fob watch, one that he always had on him but never opened. With a wave of his wooden wand, there was light in the room as the candles all about the place lit up in an instant. That seemed to cause the girl to drop the item after she'd picked up and finally noticed him, the man couldn't help but tilt his head in confusion at her word.
After introducing herself, who she was and where she was from, John Smith watched her as she neared him. It didn't add up, it only made him more curious about this girl. She claimed she was a transfer from Beauxbaton? That was hard to believe for she didn't hold the thick French accent that at least ninety nine percent of the students and faculty held. He remembered due to having been at Hogwarts the previous year during the Tri-Wizard tournament, and she wasn't even there for the tournament itself. He was more than certain he'd remember seeing her as he never forgot a face. But now wasn't the time to question, no, now was the time to just get her out of his classroom and off to her respected house common room. "Hello " as he spoke with a wave and a smile, his voice held a Northern accent to it, but it was something he never questioned as there were teachers from all over the world. "It's alright, Miss Tyler but next time you are curious, please wait outside my door, it's not that I don't mind having you barge into my classroom but … after dinner? That catches me off guard. During the day is fine. But at night I'd prefer to be prepared rather than taken by surprise. No harm done though, have a good night Miss Tyler" he gave her a smile and was about to step aside out of the doorway when she insisted on squeezing right by to get out.
Not having been able to stop himself from getting a really good look around the school in all perfection that had been written perfectly in those novels, the Doctor found himself wandering the corridors, peeking in on empty classrooms, why not just allow himself a little free time before the actual 'undercover' investigation started the following day? The Doctor had been having such a grand time, he almost felt like a kid in a toy store almost it was that good of a feeling. Never in his nine hundred years had he ever visited this place but now he actually was and he found that to be spectacular. With a grin upon his face he looked toward portraits on the wall, they were really moving, yes he knew of magic and had seen the movies but this? Oh this was beyond brilliant. His thoughts were interrupted though as he had been ran into by Rose.
"There you are" he grinned to her then blinked as she gave him a look "Sorry…" he knew why she'd given him that look. He'd sent out her of the TARDIS unprepared, well he was more than certain she'd be given what she needed. When she began to explain on a lead his eyebrows shot up in surprise, wow she worked quick. Though sadly before he was even able to get any information from her he heard three pairs of footsteps rounding the corner. "Right, of course" as she walked off he turned his attention to the three Slytherin misfits. Giving them a stern look the Doctor watched as they were on their way. His eyes followed them closely before he was left alone in the corridor. Only then did he head for his sleeping quarters to turn in the for the night. Not that Time Lords slept all that much but after everything with the living plastics the Doctor was feeling a bit tired.
In the classroom with Hermione, Harry stood there his mind was racing and stretching out in all different directions it was more than a lot to take in for him. She was asking a lot of him and the wizard wasn't really sure on how to go about it all if he even decided to do it. hearing that it could be fun, Harry gave a somewhat puzzled look to his face, was she serious? that would be fun? But Harry wasn't looking at it with an open mind, no he was looking at it from the 'consequences' view. That was until she began to list off what he'd been going through, no doubt Ron about the not sleeping much for sure. When she spoke of trying to help him, Harry couldn't help but smile as he gave a nod. Before he could even answer she had stepped close to him and was pulling him into a tight embrace. One he returned instantly as he held her close to him a feeling he never got tired of, she always knew when he needed a hug, a shoulder, an ear to listen. Through everything, Hermione was there for him and he appreciated her for it. "I will" was his answer to her as he followed her out of the classroom. Catching up to her instantly as they ascended up the steps toward their common room. Once the password was given the two stepping into the common room itself. Harry looked around his gaze falling to Hermione as he heard her laugh and smiled "Those were the days, when things were simple at the very beginning" he stood there his mind drifted for that one moment before Hermione spoke to him again, pulling him from his thoughts "Night" he waved back and decided to head to the boy's dorm to turn in.
~*~*~
The morning sun had risen over the horizon, it's warm rays blanketing the school grounds and castle in its bright welcoming light. The staff was up earlier than students on this morning, showering, preparing for their day, John Smith was up and in the Great Hall catching a quick bite to eat. By the time he exited the Great Hall the Doctor was entering it "Good Morning" greeted Smith with a nod as he did any faculty member in the morning, the Doctor giving a respectable nod as he headed for the table for a cup of tea and some breakfast. The two had just passed each other and the Doctor didn't get an inkling of anything, didn't see anything out of the ordinary. Then again he hadn't been looking questioningly at this so called John Smith, he was wanting his morning tea before anything else.
By the time students were filling into their respected classrooms for lectures to begin, John Smith sat at his desk where he normally did, the old heavy and tattered book where he cited most of his lectures from lay sprawled out on the top of his desk as the class filled up with students. Waiting for the last student to enter before he began his lecture, as the final student closed the door John Smith looked about to see who was there and who wasn't. Everyone seemed to be present which was always good, he hated deducting points and would often times just let it slide, he was that sort of lazed professor when it came to such things. "Morning to the lot of you" he gave them a smile "can anyone tell me where we last left off at?" one of the students in the far back raised their hand and answered "ah right right" Professor Smith thought for a moment as he tapped his chin before addressing the class once more "How about we start today with something a bit more challenging? Obviously you lot have been doing great, no need to hold anyone back" he gave a wave of his hand and turned a few pages "let's see here" he skimmed the title of the chapter "Cloaking charms" with that the Professor was off like a rocket babbling on about the proper uses, what should be avoided, how to properly cast and so forth. Those who listened took notes, those who wanted to learn something took notes, but mostly the notes were needed, the Professor never gave exams.
The Doctor hadn't thoroughly checked the castle the night before, he'd been tired and had passed out the moment his head had touched the pillow. So now? he was running late to his first class. His sonic screwdriver had been cloaked as a wooden wand, a little help from his TARDIS' chameleon circuit which had just enough residual energy to cloak his screwdriver to make it more 'wand like' when it came to 'spell casting'.

"Hope you're all ready to gain some knowledge about those fascinating muggles." he stepped in front of his desk and leaned against it "from their trinkets, to behaviors, emotions. They're quite spectacular bunch those muggles. you never know what to expect from them really" he reached behind him to grabbed a book before turning his attention to full on class "Any questions before we start?"
Throughout the years here at Hogwarts, this had to have been the toughest one yet; at least from Harry's perspective. The year before he'd taken on the challenges of the Twi-Wizard Tournament, had witnessed the 'rebirth' in a sense of Voldemort, The years before that? It was complete madness, but nothing had ever compared to this year so far. No, not in the slightest. Much had happened thus far, too much for the green-eyed Gryffindor to just walk away from unscathed both physically and emotionally. First was the attack from the Dementors when he was with his cousin Dudley, they'd of been killed if Harry hadn't conjured his patronus so in a sense it was self defense. But with how the hearing went? It sure as hell didn't seem that way, He'd been expelled which was later taken back and he was given the chance to return to his beloved home. Yes, Hogwarts was his home, it was so much better than his home with the Dursleys, any day. But now? After returning to the school to find that Dolores Umbridge was their new defense against the Dark Arts Professor? That was a load of crock, the Ministry sure had their fingers busy with tearing down the school's morals and this sickening menace was their advocate.
The two Gryffindor male's walked on either side of Hermione, just the anger radiating off of her was enough to give the shivers to anyone. It would have for Harry if the Gryffindor wasn't already as fuming as she was after their trip to Hagrid's. "I honestly don't think he can, Hermione" spoke Harry as he kept up with her as they headed back for the castle since it was nearly dinner time but after their news? The wizard wasn't even sure he had an appetite to eat anything. He knew Hermione would get on his case if he didn't, but at the moment he wouldn't be able to force anything into his throat, he was far too upset to eat. Before they even reached the castle, something blue racing through the sky caught their attention, Harry instinctively reaching for his wand within seconds of seeing it. Not having to be told to go along the brown haired wizard took off in rapid haste toward the forbidden forest, it wasn't like anything the wizard had seen before. A big blue blur, when was something that royal of a blue hurdling through the sky? Never, not even in the wizarding world, until now of course.
The two soon to be joined by Ron, the scaredy cat of the bunch, after a bit of searching through the forest they came upon a big blue police box. Harry immediately raised his wand, holding it at the ready in case something came their way but for now, Hermione spoke for them. Meeting her gaze the wizard looked just as puzzled as she did "Whose in there?" called out Harry to the box with his wand still raised. "It couldn't have flown itself, someone or something has to be in there… but a box? a blue box that reads… police public call box?" slowly his arm began to lower but he kept a firm grip on holly wooden wand just in case. "That's from the muggle era… isn't it?" questioned Harry quite puzzled "What on earth is it doing here?" the Gryffindor looked between his two best friends.
After their adventure with the 'living plastics' the Doctor had actually gotten this girl, this Rose Tyler, to accompany him on his travels, his adventures. After the door was shut the Doctor moved about his control panel "How about the five thousand years into the future, eh?" the Doctor gave a grin "It'll be a treat, such a spectacular sight" with a final press of a button the TARDIS was off. Yet to the Doctor's surprise something went wrong, yeah sure things went wrong on occasion, but that was normally due to his driving of the TARDIS but this wasn't even his doing. hearing Rose's words of not doing anything all the Time Lord could do was hold onto control panel and try his best to keep his girl steady and threw up as many shields as he could in case they broke through a time barrier that wasn't meant to be broken into. When the TARDIS finally landed, the Time Lord had been floored to the grated metal panel, literally on the floor as he laid there before hopping to his feet within seconds. "Yeah, never better" he gave a slight crack of his neck before shaking out any discomfort from shocked muscles.
As she opened the door, the Doctor moved the monitor of the TARDIS to get a good look at where they were, slowly raising an eyebrow the man reached into his coat pocket and pulled out his black horn rimmed spectacles and slid them up the bridge of his nose. Was he actually reaching it right? Apparently it was correct due to Rose's reaction. "Well.. yes. It's a bit complicated, you see" the Doctor began explaining that J.K Rowling was actually a time traveler and that Harry Potter and the other fictional characters from the books were actually quite real. Yet to his surprise Rose had taken the new quite well. It was a shock to him but in a way he was glad, the more he got see her and her reactions the more he felt that she would truly be the one companion to stay by his side for the rest of his travels. That was until the inevitable happened of course, as they did with all his companions, having them leave one way of another. The most he could do now was hold onto hope, right?
After explaining what he could about the TARDIS' odd behavior, it was a rather big shock for the Time Lord as he'd read on the monitor after further inspection that the TARDIS itself had locked onto traces of Time Lord d.n.a. Once he was left alone, leaned against the main console and stared at the screen "… another Time Lord. How in the blazes is that even possible, it can't be, it just can't be. There is no one else left… just me" His hearts were thudding quite rapidly in his chest at the thought. He wasn't sure what to think, what to do. Then again he knew what he had to do but did he want to? He supposed he could take his time with all, be a part of the wizarding era, taking his time in finding the other Time Lord that had been picked up on.
A girl had popped her head out twice which was odd enough, Harry could only blink as his mind was overflowing with questions. As Hermione introduced them, Harry gave a smile and a wave and before long they headed with the new girl, Rose, toward the castle. "Be careful, Hermione, Rose. You know how the stairs can be" bidding them safe travels with how the school was, Harry and Ron entered the Great Hall for dinner. Ron had started to dig into his meal like normal, Harry served himself up a plate and a glass of juice, taking his time to eat while keeping a watchful eye on the entrance. It was just in his nature to be that way. When they were joined by the two the green eyed wizard smiled to them both "Welcome to Gryffindor, Rose" he resumed eating then blinked, mid bite of his baked potato that Rose had been staring at him and Ron. Was something wrong? At her question and Ron's answer which didn't seem to be enough Harry was now quite the puzzled wizard. When Hermione called his name the wizard heard her words an gave a nod "yeah sure, no problem" he smiled to his best friend.
Back at the TARDIS, the Time Lord had searched for a set of robes to throw over his suit and tie, it wasn't like he was going to change his signature attire just because he landed in a new time era. Heading up into the school he made his way to the Head Master's office, he'd read the books several upon several times he knew everything happened, knew where everything was surprisingly. After showing his credentials from the psychic paper to the Head Master, introducing himself as Derek Logan, and after much discussion the Time Lord was actually given a light position as a substitute for Herbology and a full time for Muggle Studies. Tomorrow would be his first day of his trial teachings. never in his nine hundred years did the Doctor believe he'd be a professor at Hogwarts, never, but it was indeed a very thrilling thought.
