Parenting Class : sandhir + parth : harry potter inspired - Page 8

"But...but..." Sanyukta stuttered, looking down at the sleeping boy. "We need him to wake up! He can't sleep for our project." Turning to Vardhaan she asked meekly, "How long do you think he'll be asleep, Professor?"

"I'd say about a week," The Potions teacher answered, a glare directed at the innocent cauldron half-full of Dreamless Sleep Potion.

"Oh no! Oh nonononononono," Sanyukta muttered, yanking on her hair, distraught expression on her face. "This can't be happening! It can't!"

"What's so bad about him sleeping, sanyu?" Parth asked, quite puzzled. The way he saw it was Randhir could simply be left in their rooms fast asleep for the next several days. And they could enjoy a quiet few days.

"We're supposed to interact with him! See what he does! It's our job as a parent, PARTH! And if he's asleep we can't do that! And what's worse...this is considered an accident...and we weren't able to do something about it meaning we're irresponsible!"

"That's correct," Vardhaan said icily. "I will be forwarding a note to Professor Tobin unless you manage to do something to fix this problem."

Sanyukta and Parth's faces fell, as the realization they might fail Parenting Class came down. "However, I will let you leave class early to visit Madam Pomfrey. She might know what to do."

The fallen faces turned to disbelief and shock, Sanyukta's bordering on instant happiness. "You are so lucky you got Vardhaan's godson," Catania muttered softly to Parth , who nodded and started to pack up his books.

Sanyukta joined her two friends a moment later, Randhir securely in her arms. Parth, as the gentleman he should be, took Sanyukta's bag and draped it over his shoulder, tilting to the side and falling over immediately.

"God SANYUKTA! What do you have in here? Bricks?"

"I do have one," she admitted, standing next to the cauldron while Parth picked himself off the ground, dropping his own bag on his left side, hoping to even the weight out. "I needed it for Ancient Runes," she defended, seeing the class's open stares. "We were going to try and carve our own."

Loona burst into laughter, and shortly the whole class, save Vardhaan and Sanyukta, were in hysterics, clutching their sides as laughs rolled from their mouths, stomachs aching from the force.

"..." After a few more seconds Sanyukta said, her tone more serious, "parth? What are we going to do about Randhir? What happens if Madam Pomfrey can't wake him up?"

"Then I guess we'll just get a T in the class." Sanyukta's lower lip trembled and Parth sighed. "She'll fix him, okay? That woman can do almost anything!"

"But what happens if Randhir isn't in the almost? If his case is in the not able? Then what?"

"You need to relax, sanyu," Parth murmured. "Do you want me to take randhir?" The girl's response was to hug the child tighter, her tears dropping into the jet black hair. "He'll be fine, you'll see."

The duo reached the Hospital Wing a few minutes later, Randhir still sleeping though Sanyukta had hoped beyond hope he would have awakened. Pushing open the doors, the two could only stare in shock at the scene before them.

Out of the twelve beds, eight occupied small children, most attempting to get out and play with the bottled medicines across the room. The medi witch was frantically trying to put the children back in their beds, while 'parents' assisted in any way they could.

"WHAT'S GOING ON?" Parth shouted over the noise the kids were making.

"ACCIDENT IN HERBOLOGY!"a Cardinal yelled back.

"SOME FLOWER BUD EXPLODED AND ALL THE KIDS STARTED TO PASS OUT! THERE MUST HAVE BEEN SOME KIND OF CHEMICAL IN THE PLANT!"

"My poor flower," sobbed a brown haired girl, curls framing her face. "It just went poof...just like that," she demonstrated, clapping her hands together. "Poof."

"WHO WAS TEACHING HERBOLOGY?" cried the nurse over the din. "PROFESSOR PKC IS SUPPOSED TO BE OUT!"

"THE LITTLE BOY RIGHT THERE," shouted a black haired girl , pointing at the little brown haired Boy. "HE WAS IN THE CLASS AND SAID HE WAS TEACHING IT!"

"THAT'S PROFESSOR PKC!" screamed Madam Pomfrey, making her way over to the boy. Just as she was about to pick him up, the child turned into the jolly Herbology professor, a puzzled expression on his face. Then, he seemed to remember and rushed about administering a bright yellow potion to each child.

In mere seconds, the room was quiet, all of the noise vanishing as the kids fell asleep. "Poison Poppy," the professor said cheerfully, tucking the vial back in his robes. "Effects are only noticeable on children. They tend to lose part of their hearing and in turn will shout louder to hear themselves heard. They'll be back to themselves in to time. Class, if you'll take your charges and follow me we'll finish cleaning up the green house."

Silently everyone followed, the medi witch leaning weakly against one of the empty beds. "What just happened," she wondered to herself, shaking her head. "No matter. What do you two need?"

Sanyukta blinked, realizing they were the only ones there. "Randhir fell in a cauldron of Dreamless Sleep Potion," she hesitantly said. "We were wondering if you knew how to wake him up."

"Set him on the bed," the nurse ordered, picking up a pillow from the floor and tossing it onto a mattress. Obediently,Sanyukta placed Randhir down on one of the still made beds, settling herself down next to him.

"You said he swallowed Dreamless Sleep Potion...was the potion finished?"

"Yes," Sanyukta answered. "The last ingredient needed was a seagull feather...that was the item Randhir put in. And since it only needed to touch the potion we all know Randhir would only have gotten the effects of the desired potion."

"About how much do you think he drank?"

The two teens looked at each other. "Umm...no clue," Parth muttered, cheeks tingeing pink with embarrassment. "Vardhaan said he'd be asleep for about a week if that's any help," he added.

"A week? Then I'm afraid I can't help," the nurse said, shaking her head. "I can get rid of effects up to two days long in case of the user taking too much, but a week is out of my control."

"But what about RANDHIR? exclaimed Sanyukta. "Isn't there anything you can do?"

"If you get Professor Vardhaan's permission he may allow you to visit St. Mungo's. They might be able to help you there. If they can't, then Mr. Shekhwat will simply be sleeping for several days."

"Thank you, Madam Pomfrey," Parth said quickly, rising to his feet and slinging the book bags back onto his shoulders. "We'll do that."

Soundlessly, Sanyukta picked Randhir up and allowed Parth to lead her from the room.

"What happens if St. Mungo's cant fix him?" she queried, eyes bright with tears.

"They're a famous Wizarding hospital...they'll wake him up," Parth assured her, although he had his doubts as well.

"Hello and welcome to St. Mungo's," greeted a friendly voice over the intercom. "You've arrived in the floo room. If St. Mungo's is your destination, please continue on through the doors to the right. Thank you and have a nice day."

Boldly, the two Phoenix exited the wooden doors to enter a bustling lobby of wizards and witches. A child with elephant ears attached to his head was crying loudly while a girl was flying around with wings attached to her back.

"We're going to the third floor," Sanyukta said, reading a large sign hanging above the information desk. "Come on." The two set off for a large flight of stairs. Huffing and puffing, they found themselves on the third floor a few seconds later.

"PARTH! SANYUKTA! My goodness, what are you two doing here?" exclaimed a woman running over and pulling both teenagers into a hug.

"Hello Mrs. Kashyap," Sanyukta said politely, returning the hug. "We're here because of-"

Sanyukta never got to finish her sentence because that was when Mrs. Kashyap noticed Randhir. "

Merlin! You had a baby, Sanyukta?"

Her gaze flicked over to Parth before she yelled out, "and Parth's the dad!"

"That is-"

"When did this happen! Do your parents know Sanyukta?" Mrs. Kashyap cried, shaking the girl by her shoulders.

"But we-"

"And PARTH! Not having it protected !

Shame on you!"

"THIS ISN'T OUR KID!" Sanyukta screamed at the top of her lungs, face bright cherry red as people looked on at the argument. "WE'RE HIS TEMPORARY PARENTS!"

"Oh..." Mrs. Kashyap blushed . "I'm sorry dear." Turning to the crowd the woman exclaimed, "What are you all looking at?" Shooting curious glances at the red faced duo, the crowed wandered back to their daily activities. "Who's child is that then?" asked the woman.

"We'll explain after we get him some medical treatment," sighed Sanyukta. "What are you doing here, Mrs. Kashyap?"

"Didn't Parth tell you? I'm working at the hospital part time...seeing as all of my angels are in school or at work I see no reason to stay home all day. What are you two doing here then?"

"We're his temporary guardians," Sanyukta murmured, "and he had an accident today in Potions. We were told to bring him here to see if we can get help."

The trio walked up to a small desk in the middle of a room. "Excuse me," Sanyukta said, "but could you possibly help us?" A young woman rose from behind the desk and walked around, short red hair tucked behind her ears.

"What's wrong with the little guy?" she asked, taking him out of Sanyukta's arms. Randhir sighed in his sleep and gripped the nurse's shirt sleeve. "Is he yours?"

"No, we're just watching him at the moment," Parth said. "He swallowed a lot of Dreamless Sleep Potion this morning...we were wondering if you could do anything to help."

"Let's get him to a room," the woman said, her nametag reading 'Sarah'. She led them into a small room off to the side and set Randhir down in one of the beds. "I'll be right back with Healer Tyson," she said with a smile.

Sanyukta sat down on one of the chairs next to the bed and took one of Randhir's tiny hands in her own. "This is our charge for two weeks," the girl said softly to Mrs. Kashyap. "miss Tobin put each sixth year into groups of three. One of them got transformed into a five year old child with memories only up until their current age. This is our partner. Any guesses?"

Mrs. Kashyap's brown eyes narrowed in concentration as she looked over the tiny boy. "What's his personality like?" she asked, trying to depict who the teenage form of the child was.

"He's very polite," Sanyukta said with a smile, "and very sweet. Also he doesn't mean to, but he's always causing little accidents. He's quiet and tends to be shy. He's also one hell of an actor!"

"Language, Sanyukta," reprimanded Mrs. Kashyap. "I honestly haven't a clue...did he come from a magical background?" Parth nodded. "He acts like me when i was younger but of course this isn't me ...and the only student your age at school with that hair color is Randhir Singh Shekhwat."

"That's him," Sanyukta laughed, a horror stricken expression crossing the older woman's face. "He's so adorable as a kid, Mrs. Kashyap. You can't help but love him!" And that's how Sarah and Healer Tyson found the group; Parth laughing, Sanyukta hugging Randhir, and Mrs. Kashyap staring at Sanyukta like she'd gone completely insane.

"Ah hem," Tyson coughed, effectively getting the group's attention. "I'm Healer Tyson," he said cheerfully, holding out his hand to Parth, who shook it. "Sarah was telling me your charge had a bit of an encounter with a Dreamless Sleep Potion. Would you mind answering some questions for me?"

"Of course not," sanyukta said, holding Randhir on her lap.

Tyson magicked a clipboard and set it on his lap. "All right then, what's his name, age, and birthday?"

"His name's Randhir Singh Shekhwat," Sanyukta said, "he's five years old, but I haven't a clue what his birthday is."

Sarah and the healer looked at each other strangely. "Miss-"

"Agarwal," Sanyukta filled in.

"Miss Agarwal," Tyson continued, "our records clearly state that Randhir Singh Shekhwat just turned 17; his birthday is on June sixteenth."

"Well, it's kinda difficult," Parth stated. "At Lawrenceville, we're in a class and one of three group members was turned into a child...Randhir really is 17, but at the minute and for about the next two weeks he's only going to be five."

"In that case we'll just write a new diagnostic sheet and clip it to his normal one," Sarah concluded.

Tyson nodded and continued his questioning. "And what might your names be?"

"Sanyukta Agarwal."

"Parth Kashyap."

"I'm not with them," Mrs. Kashyap said, "I work here and just came along.

"How much would you estimate he drank of the Dreamless Sleep Potion?"

Sanyukta sighed. "We honestly don't know...Professor Vardhaan said he'd be out for about a week."

"I see. Well then, we'll just get some of his measurements. Why don't you two head up to the fifth floor and get some lunch? It's almost one! You must be famished!"

"It's that late already?"Sanyukta glanced at a clock and was surprised to see that Tyson was right. "We'll be back in a little bit, okay Randhir?" Planting a soft kiss on his cheek, Sanyukta left the room followed by Parth and Mrs. Kashyap.

"I'm so glad! I think they'll be able to help Randhir!" Sanyukta squealed, twirling down the hallway. Unfortunately, the girl wasn't watching where she was going and was now on the very edge of a staircase. "In just a few hours he'll be good as new!"

"Sanyukta! Don't step-" the girl's foot slipped off of the top step and she fell with a scream. -"backwards," Parth finished with a sigh. Then realizing his best friend had just fallen down one of the staircases he started to scream for help, Mrs. Kashyap running down to see Sanyukta.

Healers rushed from almost every room to gather around Sanyukta, the girl lying still. "She's alive," one of the younger healers said joyfully. "Just suffering a broken neck. Don't worry," she comforted, seeing Parth swaying on his feet, "nothing we can't fix."

With easily seen practice, Sanyukta was levitated onto a floating stretcher. "Could you two please come with us? We need to ask you some questions..."

Two hours later, Parth sat miserably next to a still sleeping Randhir, head in his hands. Sanyukta was currently getting her bones pieced back together and wasn't to see anyone for several more hours.

He supposed he did have one thing to be thankful for. Sanyukta had been injured in a hospital so getting her care was easy. One of healers had said that if he or anyone else besides a healer had tried to move Sanyukta, they probably would have permanently paralyzed her.

Healer Tyson had informed Parth that they'd given Randhir a potion and if they were right in the amount of Dreamless Sleep Potion he'd taken, the Falcon would be awake by about five.

"Sanyukta will be just fine, dear, don't worry," Mrs. Kashyap assured Parth, giving him a side hug. "She's in good care."

"I know mom ...it's just that I want her awake and healthy when Randhir gets up...he's more comfortable around her. Not seeing sanyu might frighten him even more then he normally would be."

"The healers say Sanyukta should have her neck repaired in about two hours, right? She should hopefully be up before Dr-" she was cut short by a person who seemed as if his pregnant wife was in the other room or so ..

"gotta go ." mrs kashyap muttered before she left.

Sprinting out of the room, Parth slammed into a figure about to enter. "Is this the kind of greeting I get?" came Sanyukta's muffled voice from beneath Parth. "I swear, you might have just broken it again!"

"Sorry, sanyu," parth apologized, pulling his friend to her feet. "How are you doing?"

"I was fine until you knocked me over. But I'll be okay...just a bit sore. How's randhir?"

"I don't know! mum was here and I went to talk to her and-"

But randhir probably woke up...and neither of us are there!"

Like professional racers, the two tore down the hall to Randhir's room, the door slightly ajar. Throwing open the obstruction, the two gasped simultaneously as they saw the empty bed.

"Oh no...now we've lost him." Dejectedly Parth sank onto the bed while Sanyukta stood in the doorway. "We have to go find him, PARTH! Come on!" Grabbing her friend by the arm, she literally dragged him from the room.

For over an hour they scoured the building, looking in every room (and being chased out of several), down every hall, and even asking those they saw if they'd seen a small, boy. Each answer was negative.

"Now what? vardhaan is going to have our heads for losing his godson..."muttered Parth, leaning against one of the many vibrant white walls. "At least we know he's awake, right?"

"What good is that going to do us if we can't find him? He could have left the building for all we know...he grew up with a wizarding family, he can probably use floo powder."

"Then the best we can do is keep looking." The pair turned to go down a flight of steps when Parth suddenly stopped. "Did you hear that?"

Straining her ears, Sanyukta listened. "Isn't he the sweetest thing? Would you like another lollipop, sweetheart?"

"If I could," came a soft, very familiar voice. A thank you was heard a second later.

"Found him." The twosome ran down to the closed door they hadn't seen (it was beneath the stairwell from above) and threw it open. Inside, Randhir sat on a plush couch with a lime lollipop in hand. Several nurses were clustered around, cooing over the child.

"SANYU!" randhir exclaimed, jumping off of the couch and running towards the girl, wrapping his arms around her legs.

"Where on earth did you run off to , RANDHIR?" sanyukta asked, picking the child up. "We were so worried!"

"I'm sorry," he murmured, tears pooling in his eyes. "I couldn't find anyone when I woke up...and then April found me in the hall," he said, pointing to one of the nurses who waved and gave a dimpled smile, "and she brought me here."

"Thank you for watching him," sanyukta said gratefully. "He got taken here because he swallowed too much Dreamless Sleep Potion...and when he woke up I guess no one was in the room with him."

"It was no problem," laughed April. Walking over, she plucked randhir out of sanyukta's arms and gave him a hug and a kiss on top of his head. "Now you be good, okay?"

"Okay, April," he answered, offering her a charming smile. Waving goodbye, the trio left, randhir walking next to sanyukta and holding her hand.

"I just thought of something,"sanyukta remarked as they were getting ready to floo several minutes later. "We're watching Vidushi."

"Yay!" cheered Randhir.

Parth groaned. "Just what we need."
