Open: YES. Multi-threads welcome.

The portal that led back to Archie and Dora's world was still present within the beach cave. Ocassionally a glint of light would catch an edge and give the impression that something was there but for the most part it is difficult to spot.

Upon stepping through it, you find yourself no longer feeling soft sand beneath your feet but rock and dirt. You are still in a cave but it is darker, with no seabreeze wafting pleasantly through it. Archie explains that the cave is one of several in the mountains that are on the outskirts of the village of Hogsmeade - the only all-wizarding village in Britain. The same mountains that surround Hogwarts castle.

It isn't a long walk to the village but apparating would be quicker (of course, you can't apparate into Hogwarts). It is up to you if you wish to learn first hand how it feels to be 'forced through a very tight rubber tube' but do expect to throw up on your first side-along.

The Village of Hogsmeade is still a popular visit for Hogwarts students, so expect to see third to seventh years excitedly running around and probably a few Hogwarts staff in the Three Broomsticks or the Hog's Head enjoying a drink or five. The latter of which used to have a tunnel to the Room of Requirement within Hogwarts, however, this was destroyed during the Battle of Hogwarts eight years ago. There are plenty of shops and places to visit.

As well as living in Hogsmeade, Archie used to work as a barman at the Three Broomsticks before the Seconding Wizarding War so he has a good relationship with Madam Rosmerta and a lot of villagers. Which should help with supply gathering and assuring people that the newcomers are not dark wizards or some such.

Note about paths: Through hogsmeade they are paved and flat - sloping in places and most doorways are street level. The roads from Hogsmeade station towards Hogsmeade and Hogwarts are pretty flat or windy, country path style but bear in mind the carriages pulled by thestrals go along them to hogswarts so they probably aren't too bumpy. The mountain paths are probably not ideal for Jake's chair so he may have to brave side-along apparition.

22nd January - The Doctor, Rose, John & Twins (Possibly OPEN)

The Doctor had been intrigued by the 'portal' to another world. Arriving him had made him feel too ill and wonky to take note of how it had happened. Nor did he think to take any scans - dizziness and a sense to find Rose had been precedent.

Now, however, with this portal open for however long it seemed a good opportunity to 1. study it and 2. explore another world and gather supplies if they were going to stuck here for a while. After all, not everyone could go without food and drink for long periods or suspend the need for a while.

"Thank god for this glass thing," Rose was pushing the twins double buggy, though the children themselves were currently being shepherded by John. The children were advanced but still small and while they may not tire as quickly as entirely human toddlers, they still did. Plus they were far easier to control if needed in the buggy.

She was looking forward to exploring this new world, without being judged for taking her whole family with her. Her kids needed to learn as much as possible and these rifts might be a good way to do it. Plus maybe here there would be less pushback against a school here.

"It is rather brilliant. I wonder who put it here." The Doctor crouched to touch the path. "Probably heated and then rapidly cooled. Interesting. One of the wizards maybe? Brilliant regardless."

He rose back to his feet, grinning and moved back to Rose's side. The change of paradox was something to get used to but as long as his family was here, the Doctor didn't really care where they were. But none of them were the type to want to sit down and do nothing, adventure and exploration was a part of them.

Rose shifted to allow The Doctor to take one of the sets of handles and sling an arm around his waist. "From what I've seen on the new network, the place we're going to is pretty magic too, so it might even have come from there."

She was looking forward to this, somewhere that seemed fairly safe that they could all go to as a family to ease the twins into exploring (and thus taking after their parents) gently.

	"I'm sure we'll find out soon enough," John said, the twins babbling away mentally and audibly in his arms. "The bloke who came through it didn't seem to indicate it was particularly dangerous so..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That's why I didn't try to find someone to leave these pair with," Rose replied. "Pushchair or are you OK?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

The two timelords chuckled before John shook his head. "I'm OK. And I can always pass them over to him if I need to," he added as they stepped into the cave mouth.

"It's definitely more or a rift than the doors were back on the Island," the Doctor said, brow furrowing as he scrutinised the portal. If it wasn't for the slight shifts in light it would be invisible to human sight."

"Like the TARDIS, unless you had something that let you see through the perception filter." Rose's hand strayed to the now reinstated key around her neck. She'd put it back on when she'd replaced the wedding and engagement rings that outwardly showed her bond to The Doctor, but the key was different. It was a physical reminder of their last missing family member. The one she thought of as the twins other grandmother. The thought brought a pain so sharp she knew they would all feel it.

	The Doctor squeezed her hand. I miss her too he sent softly, allowing a hint of sadness and what could have been grief to cross over. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	'Never say never, right?' He offered her a smile. "Until then, shall we go through?" (Reply to this) (Parent)
