Note: The Doctor was listed, and I had to run with it. AU, the time between when the Last Doctor became the New Doctor, with a dash of the Disk World, and the song thrown in for good measure. UNBATA'ED And I seem to be having issues making it actually use the CUT feature...
Professor Snape new that the grounds of Hogwarts were truly beyond even the standard for magical places, he had wandered before from the domain of his library, through the tomes of knowledge, past silent readers and into the realm of the most knowledgeable Orangutan, er, Librarian ever to walk any library.
He had seen things in the Castle that should not and would not exist in the world, and yet he was flummoxed by a sound. From deep in his dungeons came a “wheeze-moan” sound, the rushing of air from a disused chamber followed by a resounding THUD.
~~
Quietly he stocked the sound, coming across a smoking room he threw open the door, “Incarserous!” only to be stopped in his tracks, arm falling limp at his side. This was not the Hogwarts’ room. This had some young man peeking out from behind a console with smoke billowing from what looked to be healing walls. Keeping his features schooled to neutral, he raised his wand again. “Explain yourself and … THIS!”
“Well, I am the Doctor, I think, and you have walked into my TARDIS. Wait, how did you walk into my… My? Yes my, TARDIS?”
“I opened the door.”
~~
The Doctor walked to the door, seemingly oblivious to the man with the stick pointed at him with sonic screwdriver out and buzzing. “Hmm, psionic abilities manifested through a … aaah… I left the door open, and you walked in.” Turning a brilliant smile and pulling out a black leather wallet and flashing himself, he smiled wider. “Your name is Professor Snape, of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, DE. What does DE mean? Oh, never mind, come and look at this.”
Wand still trained on the “Doctor” he followed, and was shocked to see a separate … door.
~~
“Police Box” He knew that we was watching the box, (that is all it was, he had walked around it twice over, and looked inside again) was healing it’s self. The letters were getting more vivid, and while casting various spells, he could not figure out why.
With the quirk of an eyebrow, and the glare that would melt seventh years he turned on the man gleefully patting the box beside him. “What is this? Trickery?”
“Every little thing, every little thing she does is magic! Professor Snape. Magic! You should be able to see that for your self.”
~~
After recovering from his moment of shock he spun and cast “Legilimens” eyes going wide he broke off contact. Backing away from the Doctor. “Time Lord? Explain your self.”
“You see, I was undergoing a, rough change, and the TARDIS, she didn’t like it, and she went through a ROUGHER change.” He stopped for a breath, “Professor, I had some one who called me Professor once, who was it… A… Ace! Yes, AMY! Has it been five minutes yet?” With that Professor Snape was shoved out of the TARDIS, the door slammed shut, and it noisily made it’s departure.
~~
Professor Snape turned on his heel. And with the snap and flurry of his robes made his way past the early risers of students, strait to the library. Madame Pince glared as he strode past her without as much as a nod, and went deep into the stacks. Feeling as he went along for the bend that would take him to his other librarian. Passing the same strange figure with the hood, he picked up speed and burst into the oozing sunlight.
“Oook.”
“It is a pleasure to see you as well. I need a book, on The TARDIS.”
