Chapter 5 - The Blue Box

Chapter 5

The Blue Box

Harry Potter (POV)

__________________________

The bell marking the end of lessons, rang through the grounds of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. "Homework! Write a one-foot essay on the effects of dementors, the proper way to defend yourself, and what happens when someone fails to drive them away! Due Tuesday!" Professor Finnigan, (a.k.a, Seamus Finnigan,) announced to his students in his Defense Against the Dark Arts class, while Harry repacked his briefcase. The students groaned as they exited the classroom to head off to lunch. Seamus sighed and fell back on the teacher's chair behind the desk, and said, "I'm glad I'm only substituting. It's been a madhouse all week! We weren't that reckless at that age!" Harry snorted, and snapped his briefcase shut. Harry came once a month to Hogwarts to help teach Defense Against the Dark Arts. "Yeah right." Harry said, a hint of humor in his voice, as he placed his briefcase under the chair, where he always kept it, "Anyway, I'll see you later Seamus. I'm going down to have lunch with Hagrid, Ron and Hermione. Ron and Hermione are waiting for me in the entrance hall. Bye!" "Bye mate! I'll catch you later!" Seamus called after Harry's retreating back. While walking through the corridors, Harry's mind drifted over to the prophecy he had heard two weeks ago. Ever since he heard it, he couldn't stop thinking about it. Him, Ron, and Hermione had been discussing it in every spare moment of their time. When Harry had read the names, Jack Frost and Rapunzel on the label he couldn't believe it. They were both just muggle fairy tales...right? They had discussed this many times before. Ron had never heard of Jack Frost or Rapunzel before. And then there was that 'Doctor' fellow. Ron referred to doctors as 'the nutters who cut people up' and was very wary of this 'Doctor'. But, Doctor who? The label hadn't given a name, just, 'The Doctor'. The prophecy also mentioned a Timelord, and a Bad Wolf. They had no idea what those were either. But the thing that worried them the most was the part of the prophecy that mentioned 'The End of the Universe'. Still mulling over his thoughts, he jumped over the familiar vanishing step on the stairwell, and proceeded to the entrance hall where he found Ron and Hermione waiting for him. "Hi Harry!" Hermione said, beaming at him the moment he came into view, "How was Defense Against the Dark Arts? I heard Seamus is substituting for this week." "Yeah he is." replied Harry, and went into full detail to what had happened, as they walked down to Hagrid's Hut. "Those little devils." Ron stated as soon as Harry finished telling what happened. "Ron!" Hermione said shocked. "What?" Ron replied, "According to Harry, it sounds like they've all gone mad!" Hermione sighed, as they exited the doors of Hogwarts, and continued through the grounds. "Speaking of prophecies -" Hermione started. "Were we speaking of prophecies?" Harry said in an amused tone. "Well, we are now." said Hermione seriously, "Have you noticed any odd happenings yet?" "Odd happenings?" Ron asked confused. "Well, everything the prophecy said was odd." Hermione said, "So I expect something odd to happen. Something like -" But before she could finish, there was an almighty

BANG!

And they were throw backwards. Groaning, they sat up to find a mysterious blue box beside the lake. "Something, like that." Hermione said breathless, as she slowly stood up. Harry, and Ron stood up too, and started walking towards it, Hermione following close behind them. They were two feet away from the blue box, when Hermione gasped as the doors flew open, and a man with brown hair collapsed in front of them.
