When Edney and Doctor climbed to the shore in embarrassment, the people sent by British Prime Minister Churchill quickly found them.

Edney sat on the big rock by the sea for a while, before she had the strength to find her wand from the pocket of her drenched clothes, cast herself a drying spell and clean it up.

Then she looked at the Doctor who was squatting on the opposite side and looked at her expectantly. While watching, he took off his beloved little bow tie and shook it in front of her, as if it could dry it quickly.She looked at it for a while, then said helplessly, "Does your sonic screwdriver not have this function?"

The Doctor shook his head aggrievedly at Edney.

Resisting the urge to burst out laughing, Edne cast a few spells at him.

The young man in front of her who seemed to be in his twenties was actually a thousand-year-old man.However, he should clearly see through the world of mortals, but at this moment he is staring at her wand with great interest: "On this earth, the magic world is indeed the most interesting."

Among the soldiers sent by Churchill, a brother brought them two blankets. When he ran over, he was stunned when he saw the clothes that Edney and Doctor had dried in an instant.

Edney thanked him sincerely, took the blanket from him, put one on her body, and handed one to the Doctor.

"Doesn't it look a bit like your wizard's robes?" The Doctor threw the blanket over his shoulders, stood up and walked around in front of Edney, his face full of excitement, as if begging for praise.

Edney raised her forehead and stood up, but ignored the Doctor's thinking.

She looked towards the coastline and said worriedly: "I don't know how Marvolo is doing now, Doctor, we have to find him."

"Don't worry," the Doctor reassured, "I just saw the message from the US military, the child has been rescued by them."

"U.S. military?" Edney frowned suspiciously.

"It's Captain America. He led the American army here as an ally of Britain to support him, and he repelled the enemy not long ago." The Doctor put the bow tie back on his collar, and he turned over the collar for a while, It took a long time to arrange the bow tie so that it was placed in the center.After finishing all this, he coughed as if he had just remembered that he hadn’t finished speaking, and continued to explain, “Today, a celebration party will be held at the temporary base of the US military. Steve—that is, Captain America Invited me and told me they were taking care of the child now."

...Captain America?

Is he a man of this era?

She just finished telling the child the story of Captain America's battle with the evil Arbor snake. Isn't this a big death...

Moreover, Marvolo is not like the kind of child who is taken care of by others.

Edney pouted, and was about to ask the Doctor when he was leaving, when the Doctor shouted in surprise: "Oh! My TARDIS! Look - they salvaged my TARDIS!"

Edney looked in the direction of the Doctor's realization, and she saw a warship approaching, and the TARDIS was placed on the deck.

Her heart skipped a beat, she turned her head and asked what she had always wanted to say: "...Doctor, can you use the TARDIS to send me back to my time?"

The Doctor froze for a moment, but he quickly understood what Edney meant.

The clothes she was wearing obviously didn't belong to this era, and her eyes didn't look like those of a war-torn person—she didn't belong here, and he should have guessed it earlier.

But the time lord also needs tools to travel through time, such as his TARDIS, such as RiverSong's time travel bracelet.So how did Edney White, who had nothing, come decades ago?

"I don't know how you traveled through time, so I can't give you a definite answer if I can use the TARDIS to send you back." The Doctor thought for a while, "But since you can travel through time to come here time, there must be a way to go back to the future. Do you remember how you got here?"

She has also thought about this question for a long time, but so far she has no idea.

When she closed her eyes, she seemed to vaguely see the afterimage of the tumbling flames, and seemed to be able to feel someone pressing her shoulder hard, but she just couldn't remember more.

She shook her head in confusion at the Doctor.

"You don't remember what happened before this, and it's most likely an aftereffect of time travel. We'll find a way, but," the Doctor paused here, "don't you want to see that kid again before you go back? Your name is He... uh, Marvolo."

Although Edney didn't answer with words, the Doctor already knew her answer.

When the Doctor brought Edney to the celebration party, they happened to miss the lead dance by Captain America Steve Rogers and Agent Kurt.

When Howard Stark and James Barnes led Tom to meet the two of them, the Doctor gave Tom a big hug with the smell of the sea without saying a word.

Tom jumped out of the Doctor's arms with a dark face, and looked at Edney with a constipated expression, as if saying a silent rejection.

Edney stood there for a while inexplicably before she understood what Tom meant.She spread her hands innocently: "Uh, I actually didn't intend to hug you, really."

At this, Howard, Bucky, and the Doctor all laughed, leaving Tom buried his face in embarrassment, and gave Edney a hard look.

After a sumptuous dinner at the Gala, the Doctor and his old friend Howard say goodbye to Bucky and return to the TARDIS with Tom and Edney.

"The order is like this," the Doctor pressed a few buttons, "we will send Edney back to the 21st century first, and then send Tom to [-]. Do you think this is okay?"

No one has an opinion.

Tom thought it was better this way. He didn't really want to go back. Walking with the Doctor obviously made him experience the throbbing in his heart when he first entered the magic world.

The Doctor himself was a little bit reluctant, traveling alone made him feel extremely lonely.

He thought about taking Tom and Edney to complete the next journey with him, but obviously Edney still has friends and life she can't abandon, and Tom is still too young, he still has a lot of room for development, Instead of wandering in the universe with him.

The Doctor always makes what he thinks is the best decision for himself.

He took a deep breath and pulled down hard on the joystick.

The TARDIS let out a burst of roaring sounds that were near and far away, and after a while it actually shook violently. Accompanied by the sound of a beeping alarm, a bright red warning word was displayed on the control panel.

Edney and Tom had to hold on to the side railing to avoid being thrown to the ground.They looked up at the Doctor who was holding onto the edge of the console, and asked at the same time——

"what happens--?"

"What's wrong!?"

"Strange." The Doctor's voice was calm, "This kind of situation rarely happens in TARDIS."

"Then now?" Tom asked in a deep voice.

"It's refusing to go to the time point I set." The Doctor frowned. "When the Tardis is unwilling to go to a place, she will issue a warning."

Edney digested his words: "You mean, the TARDIS has a mind?"

"Of course she has her own mind." The Doctor thought for a while, and gave an example, "If you make her unhappy, maybe she will throw you out of the door."

Tom coughed twice, and turned the topic of wandering back: "Then why did the TARDIS refuse to return to Edne White's time?"

"This question stumps me." The Doctor said bluntly, turning his head to look at Edney who was clinging to the railing desperately, "This should have something to do with the way you came here. I guess, you entered someone else's timeline, At this point in time, there's no way for the TARDIS to intervene as a third party. Sorry, Edne, but I think we may have to find another way."

Edney shook her head, signaling that she was fine.

Just when Tom was about to speak again, the violent vibration of the TARDIS stopped, replaced by a sudden thud.

"Where are we?" Tom frowned.

The Doctor, who had a serious face just now, became excited now. He jumped around the TARDIS console, pressed a few buttons with unknown functions, and said happily: "I will Know that the TARDIS will take us where we need to go."

Edney and Tom looked at each other, and after two seconds, Tom turned his head awkwardly.

The Doctor snapped his fingers, and the TARDIS door swung open.

He walked out, beckoning Edney and Tom to follow.Thinking of the previous cheating experience, Edney and Tom looked at each other again, and took out their wands.

They followed the Doctor out of the TARDIS, and saw...

Uh.

Smiling and sitting on the waiting seat on the train platform...

Dumbledore...

Tom's temples twitched uncontrollably. He squinted his eyes and looked at Dumbledore, only to find that Dumbledore's gaze was also on him, but it wasn't the usual suspicion and defensiveness, but...comfort and care? ? ?

Edney blinked, thinking that she had misunderstood the person, but the familiar eyebrows and eyes were clearly Albus Dumbledore.

She froze for a while before reacting.She was still in the past era, when Dumbledore was not the headmaster, and he hadn't turned gray hair yet.

She stared blankly at Dumbledore's auburn hair for a long time before realizing that Dumbledore's gaze had shifted from Tom to her.

"Hey, old friend," the Doctor greeted Dumbledore familiarly, "I knew you must know something, otherwise the TARDIS wouldn't have brought us here."

Dumbledore in white robe smiled and stood up from the bench.After beckoning, the phoenix on the side flapped its wings and circled Edney several times before flying towards Dumbledore and standing on his shoulder.Dumbledore then looked at Edney: "The phoenix is ​​a magical creature that can travel through time. Look, it recognizes you."

"Principal..." Edney suppressed the 'principal' that blurted out, "Professor, do you know how I should go back?"

"It already told me." Dumbledore stroked the phoenix's feathers, and winked at Edney. "It also told me that you would pluck off a lot of my beard when you were one year old."

Edney:? ? ?

"Edney, you must go back." Dumbledore did not give Edney time to digest what he just said, "And, you have to go back by your own ability."

"How should I go back?" Edney was at a loss.

"For example—" Dumbledore said, looking at the track where there were no trains running, "We are at King's Cross Station now, maybe you just need to wait for a train."

"Where will it take me?"

"Ahead," said Dumbledore.

Edney looked towards the direction where the track extended with half understanding, and sure enough, she saw a train approaching from a distance, and the sound was getting closer and closer.

She glanced back in panic, and met Doctor's encouraging gaze.

She understood.

The train was just a symbol to bring her home, and that was all she needed.

When the train stopped in front of her, Edney said goodbye to them and walked into a carriage.

The moment the car door closed, she heard Tom shout, "My name is Tom Marvolo Riddle—!"

It turned out that the brat had only told her his middle name all along.

Edney chuckled.

Do not……

and many more! ! !

Tom Riddle? ? ? ?
