Once safely inside the Tardis, Hermione faces the Doctor and looked him square in the eye whilst stabbing her long finger in the air in front of him.

'Now you tell me Doctor. It has just occurred to me that, with all this space inside, what do you fill it with? Are there other rooms? Most importantly, is there a library?'

Jack Harkness laughed and pushed the Doctor playfully.

"Well sir, you have got yourself a keen one here! One of your best assistants yet!"

"When the Tardis rebuilt itself, everything on the inside was re-arranged. I did have a library and a pool, actually a library in a pool, but I have no idea where they are now. Picture the Tardis as an society of passages and rooms like honeycombs. Picture that."

The Doctor licked his lips and smacked his hands together causing Hermione and Jack to jump.

"I am having a craving for honey now. Anyone have any honey. Actually there is probably some in the kitchen, but I don't know where that is..."

Hermione was listening intently and grabbed her wand out of a pocket sewn into all of her clothes specially to hold a wand. She lined it up with what appeared to be a tunnel before speaking slowly and surely,

"Accio Honey"

A far off whistling cam from behind her swiftly followed by a jar containing a thick, red liquid.

"Sir, what on Earth is that!"

"Well Jack, it isn't anything on Earth now is it. We are drifting in space and I am about to eat some aged Gallifreyian honey."

Hermione and Jack both curled up their lips in disgust as he stuck a bony finger into the jar, pulling it back out again dripping with honey. He poked it into his open mouth, and mumbled in delight.

"I thought that I had lost everything from Gallifrey, but apparently not, so thank you Hermione."

The Doctor grabbed a stray spoon off the control panel and started eating the great dollops of honey. Jack and Hermione were much repulsed by the style that the Doctor ate in, although were rather subdued by the smells of blossoms and salt that was filling the central cavity in the Tardis

"The summoning spell worked for a small item, but I wonder what will happen if I direct it at a larger item," rambled Hermione to no one in particular.
"Only one way to find out," said Jack, still watching the Doctor.
"Accio Library."

Hermione squeaked in surprise when she felt a a sharp tugging behind her navel, much like that when using a port key. As though being reeled in like a fish on a fishing line, Hermione was pulled along through the air along passages that smelt strongly of dust. Enchanted flaming torches lit themselves as her presence was sensed before abruptly stopping when a well lit palace was reached. The palace was one from Hermione's dream, books of every shape, size, colour and age adorned shelves that decked the walls. Spectacular wheeled ladders were attached to the shelves reminding Hermione of her favourite childhood muggle television movie, Beauty and the Beast.

The Doctor and Jack ran up behind Hermione gasping for breath with their hands on their knees.

"Hermione are you ok? The library is marvellous isn't it?" Stated the Doctor.
"Unfortunately we must go because many of these books are from the future and contain spoilers."

Hermione knew how dangerous it was to meddle in time and did not argue with the Time Lord, even with the temptation of so many books. She took some big steps over to Jack and the Doctor, took their hands before apparating to the control centre of the Tardis.

"Well Doctor, we know where the library is now. The Tardis is huge.!"

"Yes it is and thanks for showing me where the library is. Anyone for a ride?"

Jack Harkness and Hermione nodded their heads in approval, both keen to have some fun. The doctor pulled a lever that supposedly turned the Tardis on, but it smoked and jerked suddenly, causing its passengers to over-balance.

"Doctor! Do something!"

"I can't!" Yelled the Doctor who was hunched over the controls. "The dates are going a-wall and there is nothing I can do. Let's hope we end up somewhere nice! Geronimo!"
