Sara's adventure -Part I

Upon the welcoming response I had received from my dear friends, here I give my next one, which I had tried to make it as interesting as the first one.  (lolzzzz!)

My second blog is a contribution to two of my friends, both of them who wanted me to write a blog like the one given below.

Here you go!

“Sara! What are you doing sitting here like this, staring at the wall?”

I was able to hear mom’s voice, but I didn’t even turn to answer her, as my mind wandered around the dream I had this morning. My grandpa often says that early morning dreams come true. If his words were real, then I must find three people barging in through the wall near my compu. Therefore I was sitting right near the compu staring at the wall where exactly I had seen three unknown people dressed in long skirt like dresses, I should say cloaks, coming in to my living room and standing still as statues before me.

I knew that my mom and dad would laugh at me if I tell them why I was sitting there right from the moment I woke up. But the vision I had (I wouldn’t call it a dream, it was so real) had me so excited that I rather expected it to happen in reality, though I would be dead scared if someone were to come in through a wall.

“Sara, are you going to brush your teeth or not? It’s ten already. Don’t you want to have your breakfast?” Mom was screaming.

I was getting into mom’s nerves.  She hates indiscipline.

“Sara, go, have your shower. Mom and I are leaving to aunt’s home. We’ll be back in an hour”. I nodded to dad without looking at him. I could hear mom’s grumbles about me when she walked out with dad.

I was still reluctant to leave the chair beside the compu. Finally when ten slow minutes passed on without anything happening, I decided to go and have my shower and stood up from the chair. As soon as I turned, I could feel some movements in my back through my side glance. I was alarmed and immediately turned to face the wall. Lo! Three people with cloaks around their body, large enough to cover their heads, stood before me. The very same vision I had this morning. They showed no sign of movement or reaction on seeing my shocked face and bulging eye balls. I was frozen for a few more minutes before I could move my jaw muscles. They stood calmly still as a statue.  I slowly looked behind them to see if the wall had broken. I was surprised to see that the wall was as good as it would be, without even a crack. Who are these people? Why have they come here? I slowly turned my glance towards them.

The person in the right attracted my attention. His face seemed familiar. Fair, five feet tall, skinny, wearing a black cloak, jet black hair with one or two grey hairs, his eyes showing a green shade. The person in the middle was taller than the persons on his sides. He had a long beard, almost white, wearing a half moon shaped spectacles. I gasped on looking at his violet color cloak, as my mind quickly arrived at a conclusion. I quickly glanced at the last person with a similar black cloak, sturdy, and tall. I searched for what I was searching, and of course, I found the wands, neatly hidden in their pockets. My goodness!

“Ahem… Ummm…..”

I cleared my throat. Still they made no effort to move, talk or show any kind of an expression.

“Ummm… Are, are you.. hmmm… are you all wizards?”. I managed to choke out.

The middle one with the long beard winked at me. I stared at them incredibly.

They still spoke no word, while I gaped at them.  “Ahhh… “ I pinched myself.

All the three wizards standing before me, looked at each other and smiled.

“H… Hhh.. Harry!” I called hesitantly. The wizard in the right looked at me, his face surprised at my revelation.

I turned to the old wizard in the middle. “Dumbledore????”.

He shook his head denying me and spoke for the first time.

“Awww… My appearance easily misleads many. People call me Alisis Aberforth.”

His voice, which was younger than I expected took me by surprise. The more I was surprised on hearing his surname. “Ab Aberforth?” I stammered.

“Yes, you are right, Sara. Aberfoth Dumbledore was my father.”

“Was???” I didn’t miss the past tense.

“Yes, he is no more. “ Alisis hung his face sadly.

“I don’t recognize you” I spoke to the other wizard, a bit courageously.

“You knew him not. Let me introduce him. He is one of our best Aurors, Winnace Shacklebolt.”

“Shacklebolt? You are kingsley’s son?”

Alisis smiled at me. “We are amazed by your memory and interest towards our community, Sara”.

“What is all this? Are you all real? I mean, do wizards exist in reality? I thought you were all characters in JKR’s book. Am I having a hallucination? I can’t believe this… I can’t….”

“Ms Rowling had done a wonderful job, no doubt. No one knew that she was portraying the real incidents that were happening in our world. Her wand was broken, she was expelled from our community, and she was living in mourn, until we realized that her artistic work had only earned humans’ amazement and interest towards us, and did not pose any threat to our secret existence.”

“Wh.. What??? You mean, she was, umm, she is a witch? She belongs to your world?? “ I blurted out.

Alisis smiled again. “You are too quick, Sara. Yes, she is a witch. She was one of the toppers of Hogwarts. But, alas, she was too poor to make a living and she decided to make a writing on our community to enlighten the muggles on existence of the magical wizarding community. She would have served her life time in Azkaban for revealing our existence if my dear uncle, Albus had not interfered. Her work was after Voldemort’s demise and as our Winnace’s father was the minister of magic, my uncle saved her from the wrath of our community. Until now, we did not realize that her work is the one that is going to save our community now.”

I was too shocked to speak that I slowly fell to sit on the chair. The room was silent for a few more minutes after which I got my voice back. “You mean this is all real? Harry really killed Voldemort? Oh my! No one is going to believe this. “

I let out a sigh. I stood up again excited.

“You mean many wizards like you really exist? Hermoine, Ginny, Ron, George and all of you?”

Alisis chuckled. “You are so much like your uncle”. I smiled at Alisis.

He was encouraged by my smile. “We did not expect you to take this so easily. You seem to be thrilled and excited, young lady.”

I was. “So what is all this about? Why have you come here? And what did you mean by JKR’s novels is gonna help your community?”

Harry spoke for the first time. “We need your help Sara!”

I looked at him. “You are graying. How old are you?”

Harry seemed to be puzzled by my question. He cleared his throat before he spoke. “I am nearing forty.”

“Oh god! Hmm, ok. What did you say? You need my help? Why would a great wizard like you need a helpless muggle’s help?”

Harry smiled at Alisis. Alisis spoke. “Sara, if you would allow us to explain, I would answer every question of yours!”

I waited expectantly.
