Ivy stood at King's Cross waiting for the Hogwarts train to come back. She was still getting stares like she did before, but now the people looked at her in shock seeing the two seven year olds with her. The two obviously looked like twins; both having the infamous Potter Hair and the boy looked like the late James Potter while the girl had Ivy Potter's killing curse eyes. The two were holding hands in front of their mother, all three of them sporting identical annoyed looks. Some witnessed her annoyed expression soften as a soft smile appeared as a blue haired boy sped for her. "Hi Mom!" Teddy greeted, wrapping his arms around her and hugging her tightly.

"What about us?" Eilam and Elysium spoke.

"Hi twins," Teddy greeted, pulling them both in for a hug.

Ivy brought the three together and apparated them out to the Potter Manor where the elves greeted 'Heir Black' back. "Oh, we found Aunt Donna and she's coming with us," Ivy told her oldest son. "Okay!" Teddy said as he headed to drop stuff off in his room and saying hello to Donna and the Doctor.

"Okay!" the Doctor said as everyone entered the TARDIS, "Donna. First trip, where to?"

Donna thought for a second, "Can we go to Rome?" she asked.

*******

Donna stepped out into the bright sun and looked around in wonder and amazement as the people walked by and stopped at vendors. It almost like the first time she saw Diagon Alley. "Ancient Rome," the Doctor said, cautiously, but excitedly, looking around as his family and Donna stepped out of the TARDIS behind him, "Well, not for them, obviously. To all intents and purposes, right now, this is brand new Rome," he says, looking back at his family, ignoring the people in front of them going about there days. He felt his wife tense, but she was hiding it well. Eilam and Elysium, however, were not. Padfoot, well Padfoot just sneezed when he stepped out. He knew when they were scared that they would stand by Ivy's or his side and would not leave it. The twins currently were glued to Ivy's side and holding onto her hands. Teddy had also noticed what his siblings and mother were doing and also looking at them curiously while rubbing his nose.

"Oh, my God. It's, it's so Roman. This is fantastic," Donna said, spinning around, trying to take in everything. The family lets out a small laugh at the sight. Then Donna stops, "I'm here, in Rome. Donna Noble in Rome. This is just weird. I mean, everyone here's dead," she says.

The Doctor, again noticing his wife's hidden discomfort and the twins' flinch, just says, "Well, don't tell them that," and leans down to his wife's height, "Where are we?"

She tries to open her mouth and tell him but she physically could not do it, 'You need to be here for a reason,' Wolfie told her. 'Yes, and you know Eilam and Elysium are going to have experience this eventually. No matter how much you want them to avoid it, it would be good for them when the time comes again,' Death added. Ivy did agree that the twins needed to experience what a mass death would look like when nothing can stop it, she just wish they wouldn't be this young. She could understand the point because she remembered being in a building where an escaped Death Eater was about to blow up the building. She didn't have anyone to comfort her other than Wolfie and Death because she didn't have her Papa back with her yet.

"Hold on a minute," Donna said as Padfoot sneezed again, "That sign over there's in English. Are you having me on? Are we in Epcot?" she whined a little.

The Doctor, more cautious knowing his wife could not tell him where they were, looking back at the red head, "No, no, no, no. That's the TARDIS translation circuits. Just makes it look like English. Speech as well. You're talking Latin right now," he explained.
