PART 17

Maan was rather quiet as he ate the ice-cream Nakul bought him (Chocolate & raspberry with chopped nuts)

'What's up?'said Nakul.
'Nothing',Maan lied.They stopped to buy parchment & quills.Maan cheered up a bit when he found a bottle of ink that changed color as u wrote.When they had left the shop,he said,"Nakul,what's Quidditch!"
'Blimey,Maan...mein bhool jaatha hoon ki tum bhaut kam jaanthe ho humaare duniya ke baare mein...'
'Don't make me worse,'said Maan.He told abt the pale boy in Madam Malik's
'- and he said people fm muggle families shouldn't even be allowed in -'
'Yer not fm a muggle family.If he'd known who yeh were - he's grown up knowin' yer name if his parents r wizarding folk - u saw 'em in the Chudail Restaurant.Anyway,what does he know abt it,some o' the best i ever saw were the only ones with magic in 'em in a long line o' muggles - look at yer mum!Look waht she had fer a sister!'
'So what is Quidditch?'
'It's our sport.Wizard sport.It's like - like football in the muggle world - everyone follows Quidditch - played up in the air on broomsticks and there's 4 balls - sorta hard ter explain the rules.'
'And what r Serpent & Garud?'
'School Houses.There's 4.Everyone says Garud r a lot o' duffers,but -'
'I bet in am in Garud,said maan gloomily.
'Better Garud than Serpent,'said Nakul darkly.'There's not a single witch or wizard who went bad who wasn't in Serpent.You-Know-Who was one.'
'Vol - sorry - You-Know-Who was at Gurukul?'
'Yrs and' yrs ago,he was an foreign wizard who got first time admission in our school.We don't give the foreigners the admission so easily but You-Know-Who had passed all the test & got the admission.We wished that wizard never came to our country.Becoz of him only we've very less wizarding families in India.He came fm London to destroy our future generation & he had did partly.'said Nakul.
Maan felt a surge of hatred towards this man...oh am sorry a mere vapour...

They bought Maan's school books in a shop called Basu & Co. where the shelves were stacked to the ceiling with books as large as paving stones bound in leather;books the size of postage stamps in covers of silk;books full of peculiar symbols and a few books with nothing in them at all.Even Dhruv,who never read anything would have been wild to get his hands on some pf these.Nakul almost had to drag Maan away fm Curses,Counter-Curses(Bewitch ur friends and Befuddle ur enemies with the latest revenges:Hair Loss,Jelly-Legs,Tongue-Tying and much,much more)by Professor Van Helsing.
'I was trying to find out how to curse Dhruv.'
'I'm not sayin' that's not a gud idea,but yer not ter use magic in muggle world except in very special circumstances,'said Nakul.'An' anyway,yeh couldn' work any of them curses yet,yeh'll need a lot more study before yeh get ter that level.'
Nakul wouldn't let Maan buy a solid gold cauldron,either ('It says pewter on yer list'),but they got a nice set of scales for weighing potion ingredients and a collapsible brass telescope.Then they visited the ' Ayur potions ingredients centre,which was fascinating enough to make up for its horrible smell,a mixture of bad eggs and rotted cabbages,barrels of slimy stuff stood on the floor,jars of herbs,dried roots and bright powders lined the walls,bundles of feathers,strings of fangs & snarled claws hung fm the ceiling.While Nakul asked the man behind the counter for a supply of some basic potion ingredients for Maan.Maan himself examined siover unicorn horns at Rs 210/= each and minuscule glittery black beetle eyes(50 rupees for a scoop)
Outside the Ayur Potions,Nakul checked Maan's list again.
'Just ur wand left - oh yeah,an' i still haven't got yeh a birthday present.'
Maan felt himself go red.
'U don't have to -'
'I know I don't have to.Tell yeh what,I'll get yer animal.Not a toad,toads went outta fashion yrs ago,yeh'd be laughed at - an' I don't like cats,they make me sneeze.I'll get yer an owl.All the kids want owls,they're dead useful,carry yer post an' everythin'.'
20 mins later,they left Janpal Ulloo Ghar,which had been dark and full of rustling and flickering,jewel-bright eyes.Maan now carried a large cage which held a beautiful snowy owl,fast asleep with her head under her wing.He couldn't stop stammering his thanks,sounding just like Professor Solanki.
'Don' mention it',said Nakul gruffly.'Don't expect u've had a lotta presents fm them Junejas.Just Gaur's left now- only place fer wands,Mr.Gaur,and yeh gotta have the best wand.'

A magic wand...this was what Maan had been really looking forward to.

They entered inside wand shop where a tinkling bell rang somewhere in the depths of the shop as they stepped inside.

'Good Afternoon,'said a soft voice.Maan jumped.Nakul must have jumped,too,becoz there was a loud crunching noise and he got quickly off the spindle chair.

An old man was standing before them,his wide pale eyes shining like moons thru the gloom of the shop.
'Hello,'said Maan awkwardly,
'Ah yes,;said the man.'Yes,yes.I thought i'd be seeing u soon.Maan Khurana.'It wasn't a question.'U have ur mother's eyes.It seems only yesterday she was in here herself,buying her first wand.10 and quarter inches long,swishy,made of willow.Nice wand for charm work.

Mr.Gaur moved closer to Maan wished he would blink.Those silvery eyes were a bit creepy.

'Ur father,on the other hand,favoured a mahogany wand 11 inches.Pliable.A little more power and excellent for transfiguration that chooses the wizard,of course.'

Precap- same
