There was so much to learn here! It was apparently some sort of interdimensional nexus, which should be impossible now. The clear evidence to the contrary meant that something odd was going on here, something he was determined to turn to his advantage.

A library seemed the right place to start. To his annoyance, none of the books seemed to deal with the overlapping of worlds that was, to him, Hogwarts' most important feature, but on magic. Well, fair enough, he'd start by learning about that. Finding the most comfortable chair, he propped his feet up and began immersing himself in a depressingly basic text..

Rose Arises (Unpopping Rose Tyler)

[rose-of-powell.livejournal.com]

Somewhere in the maze of popcorn, there was a slight pop.  One of the fluffy white pieces suddenly ceased to be particularly fluffy and white, and became a blonde girl, curled in a fetal position.  She yawned and uncurled a bit, and then started, as she realized she was not, in fact, in a bed, or any other sort of sleeping apparatus, but laying on a hard cold floor, surrounded by giant pieces of popcorn.

The first thought that crossed Rose Tyler's mind was, Where am I?  The second was When am I?

Her third thought was, Why am I in my skivvies and covered in some oily stuff?

Rose slowly uncurled and stood up, trying rub as much of the grease off as she could, though she didn't have much luck.  She sniffed the back of her hand.  It smelled of butter.  She tried to remember how she'd gotten here.  There'd been Bad Wolf Bay, the Doctor (don't think about that, no point in getting teary), and then...  Vague memories of a castle danced in her mind, lurking just at the edge of her perception.  This was a school of some sort, she remembered that much, but what little she could recall of it was not terribly reassuring.

"Well," she said aloud to no one in particular, "Better have a look around, at least.  Get my bearings."  Wrapping her arms around herself for both modesty and warmth, she began to carefully head for the exit, watching for any other signs of life.
