As the living tendrils of wire came toward her, Robin was certain that she was going to die. She saw her life, short but relatively good, flashing before her in a very quick montage of images, smells, and sounds. At the same time, she saw these horrors advancing, the skulls leering at her almost obscenely.<em>At least it will be fast,</em>she thought, closing her eyes.<br/><br/>Then, she caught the foreign thought again - a rose and a box. Her eyes flew open to see the man from before whirling in front of her and pushing her back almost roughly. She seemed to hear the wires hiss "<span class="bbc_u"><em><strong>DOCTOR!</strong></em></span>" before... The man pulled out a strange piece of metal and brandished it at the monster. It had some sort of green thing on the end, and Robin felt confused.<br/><br/>"Expecto Patronum!" The man screamed as he pressed a button on his... thingy. If Robin though she had felt confused before, it was nothing compared to what she felt after he uttered this. The spell, or whatever it was, did seem to work. The things crackled, sputtered, and fell to the floor. Robin opened her mouth to ask a question but was interrupted by the man grabbing her and pulling her along with him. She seemed to be getting interrupted a lot this afternoon.<br/><br/>Then he was shouting again, about how this was amazing and he'd wanted to say that... Robin did have to admit that she was stunned that the Harry Potter spell had actually<em>done</em>something to the machine... She thought it was perhaps not the words but just the device that had made the monster fall. This man was so... odd... so strange... She wouldn't put it past him to just shout the words for fun. This was evidenced by the fact that he was actually<em>laughing</em>as they ran.<br/><br/>"Excuse me," she yelled at him, though she didn't slow, "But who the<strong>hell</strong>are you? And what was that thing?"
