One wish that would come true. What would you ask? Well, it was very simple actually. Hardcore potter fan that I am, my teenage soul wanted only one thing. Yes, you guessed it right! What wouldn't I give to live in the wizarding world, to study in Hogwarts, to be friends with the Golden trio. That night, I was re-reading the Goblet of Fire. I wanted to take a break from all the home works that had piled up and ended up reading Potter books, again. I continued to re- explore the magical world, got so lost in it that when I looked up for the time, it was nearly 2 am. Usually I get yelled by my parents being a night owl, but tonight was special. My parents were gone visiting my uncle and aunts, for which I threw all kind of excuses for not including me in it and I got my way. Anyway, I reluctantly went to bed thinking about my health. I still didn't completed my assignments that was due tomorrow. Well, technically it's today, I thought. What boring home works! If I were in Hogwarts, and my home works were all magic then I would have completed every assignments in time. Hell, I would've begged for more assignments. I laughed at my thoughts. Sigh. That would have been cool. I drifted into sleep with these thoughts.
Little did I knew that tonight was a special night, that Gods were listening to my, this specific, wish. I guess he was bored, I say he was utterly bored, that he decided, just for the fun of it, to grant me the wish. "Let's grant her the wish and watch what unfolds." Said one of the god. Let just address him as God 1, for the time being.
"Why not! Let us try this too. I'm bored anyway so…" trailed of another one (God 2).
"What is this book anyway? Have you read it?" muttered God 3. "You didn't? What were you doing when Rowling was writing it? Weren't you paying attention to job (of being omniscient)?" God 1 disapproved.
"Hey, I thought you were covering that for me!"
"Anyway" God 2 said wryly, "Shall we continue with the plan or you both just want to argue and bore me to death!"
"No, No. We are good."
"Proceed then."
The girl woke up from her slumber to the sound of some hushed voices. 'Who the hell is disturbing me from my beloved sleep.' She thought, trying to slip again into her peace but 'God' wanted different things. From last night onwards, she had become a favorite toy of certain 3 mischievous Gods.
She cursed and open her eyes. "What the hell?" words escaped her mouth. 'I am outside? What the hell am I doing outside?' She eyed her surroundings as her brain continued to question her situation. 'And who are these people?' Before she could make her questions to form out of her mouth, she got questioned.
"Are you alright?" "Are you hurt?" "What are you doing outside?"
These were some of the questions she actually able to hear in all the muffled noises those 'founder of a mysterious girl' people were making.
"I am good, I think. No, I am not hurt, not that I know of. And do you really think I would be here sleeping on the ground if I knew the answer of your last question." Her eyes adjusted to the soft moonlight now that she could see her rescuer.
"Okay, sarcasm. I think it is safe to assume that she did not hit her head." Said the boy with the black hair, longer than the other three. He could be considered more handsome if he was not covered with all the dirt and a few bruises! Oh, God! Am I seeing right!
"What's your name?" asked another black haired one, now offering me his hand to stand up. I frowned at his question as I took his hand. "I am ̶ " I stopped. A sudden panic arose from my stomach. "I can't remember my name…" I whispered. I can't remember my name. Shit. Who am I? Where am I? I asked myself as panic rising like a full grown tornado inside me. Nothing. I got nothing from me. I started to hyperventilate, feeling hollow all of a sudden.
"Oh, Merlin! She is having panic attack!" One of them yelled, their eyes widened as they detected the symptoms. "Do something! She is struggling to breathe…" anxiousness taking over them.
"Stupefy!"
She collapsed at one of them. "Prongs! You stunned her!" said the black haired boy, not believing what his friend had done.
"It's efficient this way. Also, we didn't knew how to handle panic attacks." The boy with dirty blond hair reasoned with them all innocent like, who was, by far, in the worst condition: he was exhausted, bleeding, bruised and all covered in dirt. "Let's take her to the Hospital wing. Pomfrey would know what to do with her."
Slowly they reached the castle limping and helping each other. They took one of the rarely discovered shortcuts to the hospital wing to avoid any confrontation with another human being.
"Madam Pomfrey?" They knocked on the door. Once. Twice. The door flew open. Inside stood a middle aged, kind looking lady in a sleeping gown. "What is it dear? Is someone hurt ̶ " she gasped at the sight: Four boys Most of them injured, one limping, and other two carrying an unconscious girl.
"Come on in, you all!" She said worriedly. "Mr. Lupin! Oh dear Lord… tonight is the night. Isn't it? What happened to the poor girl?" She asked as she helped them towards empty beds. "Did… did she, by any chance…" She couldn't complete her sentence, dreading at her own thoughts. "No, No Madam Pomfrey. I didn't attacked her…" his voice sounding guilty for no reason. "…She . . . We found her unconscious outside the castle. I think something has happened to her. She can't even remember her name which resulted her in panic attacks. We didn't knew how to deal with her so, James stunned her."
"Hey! Don't blame everything at me. You agreed to it too!" James showing his antics even in his bruised condition.
"Hmm… you did what you felt was right. Don't worry. I'll take care of her." Then she performed some incantations to heal their minor cuts and gave a potions for their internal bruises. The four boys left for their dorms as the nurse continued with the healing process on the girl.
