Tale as Old As Time-Slow Updates

Chapter 8

(Tardis: Unknown)

Morgan appears inside the Tardis console room, and he falls to the ground shaking and breathing heavily. The Tardis dims the lights, and transfers Morgan to a small sitting room with a fireplace.

She makes quick work of connecting the fireplace to the Floo Network, and hums insistently to a shaking, tearful Morgan. He spots the fireplace, and a jar of Floo Powder, and he stands and stumbles over to the fireplace. He grabs a handful of floo powder, and steps into the fireplace. He tosses down the dust, and shouts Wealsey's Wizarding Wheezes. He disappears in green flames.

(SCENE CHANGE)

He reappears in a fireplace in the twins office upstairs, and he heads down the stairs. He spots Fred, who notices a shaking Morgan, and he rushes up to him.

"Little Snakling?" He speaks softly. Morgan whimpers, and Fred takes Morgan into a back room where George is eating. George stands, and hurries to help Fred take Morgan to a chair. Both rub Morgan's back and play with his hair as he calms his racing heart. Finally after a few minutes, he comes back to reality. He looks around, and up to the twins who are watching him, both angry and concerned. Morgan sighs and he clears his throat.

"Thanks you two. I was just struggling with flashbacks to that night." Fred and George know what night he means, and hug their brother-figure tightly. 

He hugs them back, and then explains what all happened since he was last on Earth. He finishes, and the three head for the front of the shop. Morgan decides to do some shopping while there. Morgan leaves the shop, and ambles down the path as he puts his hoodie on again, hiding his scar from view. He spots Neville outside of the Apothecary, and he walks over to him.

"Neville." Morgan greets. Neville looks to the voice, and grins, then frowns.

"You look like you need a drink. Follow me." Neville leads Morgan to the Leaky Cauldron. Both sit in a booth, and Neville orders two Butterbeers. Morgan smiles in thanks, and the two men drink, and catch up. Soon Morgan feels tired, and looks to Neville curiously.

"I slipped in a small amount of Draught to help you sleep." Neville explains the sleepiness. Morgan nods and he stands after paying, and heads for the fireplace with a goodbye to Neville.

He grabs a handful of powder, and feeling silly calls out... "The Tardis." 

(SCENE CHANGE)

He disappears in green flames. He appears back in the sitting room of the Tardis, and he heads for the couch with a quick thanks to the Tardis, who hums in reply. Morgan lays down, and falls asleep.

(TIME SKIP)

After Morgan awakens, he sits up, feeling better. He exits the room, and heads for the kitchen. As he does so, the Doctor and Rose are alerted to his return. Both rush to the kitchen as Morgan gathers some tea and biscuits. He looks up as the door is thrown open, and Rose rushes up to him and hugs him. The Doctor enters behind her.

"Where did you disappear to? And how?" The Doctor asks looking at Morgan with a guarded appearance. Morgan looks down, then sighs.

"It's against the rules for me to say. However I think you two deserve the right to know. You can't tell anyone Rose. Not even your Mum and Mickey." Morgan looks to Rose, who nods with a worried look on her face.

"I'm a Wizard." Morgan explains.

"Magic doesn't exist." The Doctor brushes off. Morgan simply grabs his wand, and points to the cupboard behind Rose.
