Another World

Chapter 02

...

...

Sitting in the compartment of Hogwarts express Daya was feeling nothing but stupid and constant staring of the other four occupiers of that compartment wasn't helping him to feel better either. It's stupid of him to think it's actually happening. May be it's my mind playing tricks with me, he thought. Shreya! Oh God. She shouldn't keep telling him about Harrypotter specially not about these four. Oh, stop staring at me, he wanted to shout but avoided. He need to go back in his time. Shreya must be very worried about him. Heck, wait. He wasn't believing these time travel shits. Shreya! She and her's stupid time travel fics. This' must be happening in my brain, he consoled himself. 'Of course it's happening in your head but why not believing it's real?' A sound heard in his back head. She and her HP movie manias, he crushed, in his mind of course.

"Hello... " Daya came back from his thought with this call.

"Hello..." said a black haired boy, hair falling into his eyes with a sort of casual elegance.

"Padfoot, I think he has lost his hearing power." said another boy with messy hair. Harry's dad James potter!

"I think not," said padfoot, worried. Padfoot! What kind of name is this? Oh their nick names and all.

The boy, padfoot began to move his lips slowly with various kind of hand movements.

"And, what, exactly are you doing Sirius?" asked another boy covered with different type of scars, old and new.Sirius! So, this is the Sirius Black!

"What! I am trying to talk to him, in sign language."

"You don't know sign language padfoot." said James.

"At least I am trying unlike you." Sirius huffed.

"You wouldn't even have to try it in first place if you were a little careful with your spell."

"Don't nag Moony. That's just a bloody mistake. And beside I said the incantation right."

Moony snorted.

'Moony! Hmm, that's must be Remus. So that little guy over there is must be peter.'

"Hey I can talk." Daya finally broke the silence.

"Bilmey! Then why weren't you responding, bloody hell." said Peter.

"Was confused."

"Okay fine. Now tell me where did you come from?" asked James.

Daya kept quiet.

"If you don't say we can't send you back from where you have come." said Sirius.

Daya looked horrified with Sirius' idea of trying to send him back in his time.

"You have to trust us you know." said Peter.

"Shut up you three." said Remus.

"Oh... everybody silence. Ickly-Pickly Prefect Remus has got something to say," said Sirius.

"Shut up padfoot."

"Btw speaking of Prefect.. how come you are still sitting here with us. You have your prefect duty, don't you?" asked Sirius.

"I had, hadn't I? But not when I have a very much clever friend who loves to mess things up."

Sirius growled.

"You go Moony. We will look after him. You can trust us," said James.

"Trust you two! With him! Yeah, I am mad."

"Oh c'mon Moony just go or our ickly-pickly another prefect will come here looking for you." said Sirius.

"But..."

There's a knock on the door. James was quick enough to open his trank and took out a clock. Just when the door got opened he covered Daya with his cloak. Daya felt different. Invisibility cloak!

"Hello Lily flower." said Sirius.

"Shut up Black. Remus... how come you weren't in prefect carriage?"

"Hello Evans." James grinned. Lily avoided him.

"Oh.. Actually Lily... I was..."

"Okay leave it... come with me. We have to patrol the corridor."

"Yeah, Yeah Remus go." said Sirius.

Lily looked at him, suspiciously.

Remus left with her unwillingly.

"Bye Evans." said James.

"You aren't going to give up on her this year too, are you?" asked Sirius.

"No... not a chance."

Sirius shook his disapprovingly.

James took the invisibility cloak off from Daya.

"So What's your name?" Asked James, his total concentration directed toward Daya.

"My name... Er..." Daya hesitated.

"C'mon, tell us."

"Daya. Name is Daya."

"Oh, I am James Potter, this is Sirius Black and this, is Peter Pettigrew. The one just left was Remus Lupin."

'I know.'

"Yeah.. nice to meet you." Said Daya.

"Are you a wizard?" Sirius asked suspiciously.

"Me... Wizard?"

"Yeah.. i mean wizard... you are surely not a witch, are you?" Sirius looked horrified.

"Sirius!" James warned.

Sirius shrugged in defense.

"No.. I mean I am not a wizard, I am not magic. I am muggle." said Daya. 'Muggle! Should i really have to use that word? I could have pretended I am absolutely unaware of this world. Shit!'

"You are no wizard?" James stood up abruptly, his right hand on his forehead, "PADFOOT! You..."

Sirius swallowed hard but ignored his best buddy totally.

"You said Muggle. How do you even know this word?" Asked Sirius.

"Er... hmm... My... one of my cousin is a witch. We are very much close so she never hide anything from me." said Daya. 'Is it convincing.'

"What's your cousin's name?"

"You don't know her. She has been graduated a long time ago."

"A name wouldn't hurt."

"Tarika."

"What kind of name is this?" asked Sirius.

"Padfoot! Avoid him Mr Daya. He's just crack."

"I am not Crack. I am just curious about the name. It's little weird."

"Who is saying this? You have got the weirdest name in hogwart."

"At least it's not a common name like James. And besides i don't think there's a word saying weirdest in dictionary."

"Stop being Moony. You made up words in every 10 seconds, okay."

"I was just trying to fill his gap."

Daya chuckled listening them. They were just the way Shreya used to describe them.

"Sirius, James..." Peter interrupted and signalled towards Daya.

"Oh.. so where were we?"

"I think we should wait for Remus." Daya suggested.

Peter tried but failed to suppress his laughter.

"Even a stranger knows not to trust you two with anything." Peter commented.

"We are not that bad!" said Sirius, pouted.

"Of Paddy... leave them... I trust you with all my gold, my live, my house, my parents, my broomstick, my invisibility cloak, my everything." James hugged him dramatically.

"No, its not like that. I was just trying to say to wait for him so that i don't have to repeat everything again."

James left Sirius and settled besides Daya once again. Daya didn't think they had bought his words but they didn't argued. 'Thankfully'

"Anything from the trolley" A old witch announced coming towards them.

"Have tested wizard sweets ever?" Sirius smirked at Daya.

"Nope... not yet."

Sirius winked and went to that witch. He returned with a huge amounts of chocolates. 'Wow.'

"How come you haven't tested them yet? Your that weird named cousin never gave you any?" asked James.

"Don't know. What's this?" he picked up one and asked.

"That's chocolate frog." said Peter.

They introduced them with all of the sweets and Daya was really amused. 'Oh Shreya... you are missing so much.'

After half an hour Remus returned to the compartment.

"So P for Perfect Remus is back. So D for Mr Daya you can tell us your story now." said Sirius.

"What's up?" Remus asked, sitting beside Sirius, opposite to Daya.

"He was too reluctant to give away his very much personal information in your absence. So we were waiting for your precious arrival." Huffed James.

"Serves you good." said Remus.

"Remy..."

"I will hex you padfoot I am telling you."

"Oh really. So what about a duel eh? Here? What say?" proposed Sirius.

"Shut up Black." said Potter, "we need to short this out first."

"You just called him Black? Why?" Peter asked.

"You surely wouldn't want to know that wormtail."

"Why?"

"Er... "

"What?" Remus asked.

"Okay.. you wanna listen!" said James, "We.. means me and Padfoot were tying ourselves in Vow with the help of some books in Potter mannor..."

"The unbreakable vow?" asked Peter.

"No Peter. Not unbreakable Vow. it was just a vow... a simple one that was supposed to bind us in a way so that we can never lie to each other. But somehow we read the incantations wrong I guess and we are now on second name basis. This will wear off within somedays."

"But you two never lie to each other." Peter said.

"He lied to me this summer." James said darkly and Daya noticed the sadness in his voice.

"Prongs... leave it now, will you?" said Sirius.

James shrugged and looked away.

"You two are unbelievable." commented Remus.

Daya couldn't help but notice the sudden change in Environment. They all became sad suddenly.

"So Remus, are you?" asked Daya.

"Yeah... I am Remus Lupin."

"The prefect." added Sirius.

Daya grinned.

"Yeah, the miserable prefect who cant keep his friend away from pranks."

"Oh Moony... you are so miserable. Poor Prefect." added James.

Remus ignored both of them and turned his attention toward Daya.

"So... your name?"

"His name is Daya. He's not a wizard. He has got a witch cousin so he knows about our world." informed Peter.

"What?" Remus was shocked too.

"YES!" said Sirius and James in union.

"But... how even this is possible?"

"I don't know."

"Look padfoot... it's serious. No.. don't joke now. We need to short out this. SOON."

Sirius nodded.

"And only you can do it. You were the who said the incantation. Now you tell us what you said actually?"

"Remus... whatever i said i was right. There's no mistake in the incantation. I swear. But the magic was very old. I found the spell in Black library this summer."

"Did you read the description?" asked Remus.

"No... you know I don't do that. I read the headline and then the incantation and a little bit of wand movement."

"So basically you don't even know about the spell."

"No... I know... well, no I don't." Sirius gave up.

"What was that magic about?" asked Daya.

"I was supposed to summon a wizard/witch from the king cross station to hogwarts platform. I thought it would be fun. But..."

"But I am not a wizard."

"Yeah.. a lot of things went wrong. You weren't supposed to be knocked out too." James rolled his eyes.

"Does time travel was included too?" asked Daya.

"I don't think so... wait, what year you are from?" asked Sirius, sacred.

"2016." said Daya.

"2016!"

"2016!"

"2016!

"2016!"

"Yes, 2016" Daya repeated four of them.

Sirius passed out. Pretended to pass out.

"James... call the dementors... I would rather prefer to spend some years in Azkaban that dealing with these shit."

"You can't padfoot. I know its tough..." Remsu started.

"Tough! Remus, he has travelled 40 years into the past. How I am gonna fix that?"

"We gonna help you. There's nothing impossible for marauders." said James.

"Yes, James is right." agreed Remus.

"You can't understand, can you?" Sirius asked softly, still scared.

"We can. And trust me, we will find out a way." said Remus.

"Should we ask Dumbledore to help?" suggested Peter.

"No Peter not now. We should try ourselves first." said James.

"But what if we make more mistakes?" asked Peter.

"Then we will work harder to repent them." said James, firmly.

"Padfoot..." called Remus.

"I am fine Remus." Sirius looked away.

"I... I trust you four okay. Sirius don't be sad... everything gonna be alright." said Daya, not knowing what he's actually trying to say.

No one replied. So after sometimes Daya broke the silence again.

"Do, its 1976?"

"Yes..." said Remus.

"In which year you are?"

"Sixth."

"Hmm.."

"Why did you suspect time travelling?" asked Sirius from nowhere, "At first you said you cousine graduated a long time ago. In which year she had been graduated or she yet to has been graduated?"

"No... i know i said she had been graduated but then I recalled she mentioned your names once or twice... saying you were the biggest truoble makers of Hogwarts and all. May be Professor Mcgonagall mentioned your names sometimes."

"So, she's still not graduated then."

"No yet."

Sirius nodded...

Sirius mood didn't light up in whole journey. But when it's near hogsmead station his mood lifted up.

"Listen Mr Daya..." said James.

"Call me Daya please..."

"Well.. Daya... this is an invisibility cloak as you already know. You have to wear it until we reach our Dorm.. and you have to be really very careful so that you don't get bumped with someone."

"Oh... okay. I will try my best."

"Don't worry. We will circle you." assured Remus.

Daya nodded.

"We are here." announced Sirius. "Oh I missed it so much."

"Me too."

"Me three."

"Me four."

Four of them hugged each other and then turned to Daya. Remus asked, "Ready?"

Daya nodded and covered himself with the cloak.
