PART 14

Nakul cast a sideways look at Maan under his bushy brown eyebrows.

'Be grateful if yeh didn't mention that ter anyone at Gurukul,'he said.I'm - er - not supposed ter do magic,strictly speakin'.I was allowed ter do a bit ter follow yeh an'get yer letters to yeh an' stuff - one o' the reasons I was so keen ter take on the job - '

'Tum jaadu kyun nahi karsakthe?' asked Maan.
'Oh well - I was at Gurukul meself but I - er - got expelled ter tell yeh the truth.In me third year.They snapped me wand in half an' everything.Bit Tripaati let me stay on as gamekeeper.Great man Tripaati.'

'Bahut der ho gayi hai aur kal humein bahut kuch karna hai...!'said Nakul.'Tumhe tumhaari kitaabe toh khareedna hai sheher mein jaakar.'

He took off his thick black coat and threw it to Maan.'You can kip under that,'he said.'Don' mind if it wriggles a bit I think I still got a couple o' dormice in one o' the pockets.'

Maan woke early the next morning.Although he could tell it was daylight,he kept his eyes shut tight.

'Woh sirf ek sapna tha,'he tol himself firmly.'I dreamed a giant called Nakul came to tell me I was going to school for wizards.Jab mein aankh kholoonga tab mein apni dark basement rahoonga ghar mein...!'

There was suddenly a loud tapping noise.

'And there's Pammi maasi knocking on the door,'Maan thought,his heart sinking but he still didn't open his eyes.It had been such a good dream.

Tap. Tap. Tap.

'Theek hai,'Maan mumbled,'Mein ut raha hoon,'

He sat up & Nakul's heavy coat fell off.The hut was full of sunlight,the storm was over,Nakul himself was asleep on the collapsed sofa and there was an owl rapping its claw on thwe window,a newspaper held in its beak.

Maan scrambled to his feet,so happy he felt as though a large balloon was swelling inside him.He went straight to the window & jerked it open.the owl swooped in and dropped the news papers on top of Nakul,who didn't wake up.The owl then fluttered onto the floor & began to attack Nakul's coat.

'Usse kuch mat karo...!'

Maan tried to wave the owl of the way,but it snapped its beak fiercely at him & carried on savaging the coat.

'Nakul!'said Maan loudly.'There's an owl -'
'Pay him,'Nakul grunted into the sofa.
'Kya?'
'He wants payin' fer deliverin' the paper.Look i9n the pocket.'

Nakul's coat seemed to be made of nothing but pockets - bunches of keys,slug pellets,balls of string,mint humbugs,tea bags...finally,Maan pulled out a handful of coins.

'Give him 5 rupees,'said Nakul sleepily.

Maan took the 5 rupee coin & the owl held its leg so he could put the money into a small leather pouch tied to it.Then it flew thru the open window.

Nakul yawned loudly,sat up and stretched.

'Best be off,Maan,lots ter do today,gotta get up ter Delhi an' buy all yer stuff fer school.'

Maan was turning over the coins & looking at them.He had just thought of something which made him feel as though the happy balloon inside him had got a puncture.

'Um - Nakul?'
'Mm?'said Nakul,who was pulling on his huge boots.
'Mere paas paisen nahi hai...aur tumne maasa ki baat suni haina ki woh mere liye paisen kharch nahin karna chaahthe...!Toh mein jaadu nahi seekh paavoonga...!"

'Uski chinta mat karo,said Nakul,standing up and scratching his head.'Tumhe lagtha hai ki tumhaare maata aur pitah tumhein aise hi chodkar chale gaye...!"

'Par unki ghar toh these nehse ho gaya tha na - '

'Woh log aone paison ko ghar par nahi rakha tha...!First stop fer us is gringotts.Wizard's bank.Have a chicken leg,they're not bad cold - an' I wouldn' say no teh a bit o' yer birthday cake,neither'.

'Wizards have banks?'

'Just the one.Gringotts.foreign bank run by Goblins.'

Maan dropped the bit of chicken leg he was holding.

'Goblins?'

'Yeah - so yeh'd be mad ter try an' rob it,I'll tell yeh that.Never mess with goblins,Maan.Gringotts is the safest place in the world fer anything yeh want ter keep safe - 'cept maybe Gurukul.As a matter o' fact,I gotta visit Gringotts anyway.Fer Tripaati.Gurukul's business.'Nakul drew himself proudly.'He usually get me ter do importana stuff fer him.Fetchin' u - gettin' things from gringotts - knows he can trust me,see.

'Got everythin'?Come one,then.'

Maan followed Nakul out on the rock.The sky was clear now & the sea gleamed in the sunlight.The boat Prabath had hired was still there,with a lot of water in the bottom after the storm.

'Tum kaise aaye yahan...?'Maan asked,looking around for another boat.
'Ud kar,'said Nakul.
'Ud kar?'
'Haan - but have to summon my broom as we're in Mumbai...!"Nakul a deep breath & once again used his umbrella.A broom flew from no where & stood in front of him.Maan saw that with amazement.Nakul gestured to sit on the handle of broom while he also comfortably sat on it.The broom was made up of heavy log which can tolerate Nakul's weight.Maan sat behind Nakul & Nakul tapped its handle immediately.

The broom went high between the clouds so that no one see them particularly muggles.Nakul opened the papers during flying using the shielding charm so that the papers won't flew out due to the fierce air.While Maan asked curiously,"Why you be mad to try and rob Gringotts?
'Spells - enchantments,'said Nakul,turning the page of his newspaper & he spoke.'They say there's dragons guardin' the high - security vaults.An then yeh gotta find yer way - gringotts is hundreds of miles under Delhi,see.Deep under the underground.Yeh'd die of hunger tryi' ter get out,even ig yeh did manage ter get yer hands on summat.'

Maan thought abt this while Nakul read his newspaper,Indian Magic express.Maan had learnt from prabath that people liked to be left alone with they did this,but it was very difficult,he'd never had so many questions in his life.

'Ministry o' Magic messin' things up as usual,'Nakul muttered turning the page.
'There's a Ministry of Magic?Maan asked,before he could stop himself.
"Course,'said Nakul.'They wanted Tripaati fer Minsiter,o' course,but he'd never leave Gurukul,so old Chand Raichand got the job.Bungler if ever there was one.So he pelts Tripaati with the owls every morning,askin' fer advice.'
'Lekin yeh kya karenge?'
'Well their main job is to keep it from the muggles that there's still an' wizards up an' down the country.'
'Why?'
'Why?Blimey,Maan,everyone'd be wantin' magic solutions to their problems.Nah,we're the best left alone.'
At this moment the broom gave the signal that they're entering the Delhi border then Nakul folded up his newspaper & they clambered up the stone steps onto the street when the broom touched the floor.Maan saw around him that where were we while the surrounding people were seeing Nakul like they've seen an alien seeing his height.Maan saw around him & came to know that they're in Chandini Chowk.

Nakul took Maan to a telephone box which was out of order.Maan said seeing the board,"Nakul...yeh out of order telephone box...!"Nakul said confidently & took the Maan & squeezed inside the telephone box.Nakul bent his neck to his check to save himself by banging the ceiling of the box.Nakul said,"Maan...mujhe nahi aata ki telephone kaise use karna hai...tum use karo...!"

Maan took the receiver & asked the number then Nakul said feeling uncomfortable in that box as he was sweating,"2...3...4...7...5...2...0..!"Maan pressed the numbers & waited while the escalator moved immediately down while another box came on it with the telephone.

Maan asked,"Nakul...did u say that there r dragons at Gringotts?"
'Haan meine bola tha...I'd like a dragon...!"
'You'd like one?'
'Wanted one ever since I was a kid - here we go.'
They reached an underground passage where had the different people walking this side & that side.
'Still got yer letter,Maan?he asked as he moved ahead.Maan took the parchment envelope out of his pocket.
'Good,'said Maan.'There's a list there of everything yeh need.'
Maan unfolded a second piece of paper he hadn't noticed the night before and read:
