Hermione sat reading in the library alone when the heard a strange noise emanating from some of the shelves off to her left. Used to weird things by now, she looked up without concern, but when she saw the corner of a blue box poking into the aisle she leaped up, tossing she book aside. There was nobody else in the library to see her creep up and touch it softly as if she hardly believed it was real. Hermione had been reading about this box for months now, even researching online and compiling lists of all the places people had seen it. She watched with wide eyes as a tall man in a long coat flung the door open and flounced out to look around. It was him she had finally found him! The man in the blue box that travelled in space and time meeting new people and saving whole civilizations stood right in front of her grinning at her amazement. She was thinking about all the amazing things he could teach her when he spoke,
“Oh hello there! Do you know me? I’m afraid I haven’t met you yet sorry about that I wasn’t meaning to come here.” He looked around the room with excitement, “Where are we anyways? I don’t recognize this. What year is it?”
Hermione squeaked “Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It’s 1992.”
The man cocked his head to the side, “Oh there’s no such thing as magic. Aliens and science most likely. Who are you then?”
Hermione looked taken aback at this sudden dismissal and defiantly pulled out her wand to levitate the metal contraption he was holding right out of his hand leaving him to watch it fly up to the ceiling helplessly. Maybe there were a few things he had yet to learn about the universe. He grinned and pulled open the door to the tardis. “Do you want to see something amazing?”
