Episode 10
(Now the story is running simultaneously on SanLak’s side as well as on SwaRagini’s side… So you guys can relate)
Ragini “Di, come on… Turn an animal and go check whether anyone other than us is still awake??”
Swara (fuming) “First of all stop calling me animal… I have a power called Animagi and I am am Animagus… Not an animal…”
Ragini “Ha… It’s the same thing… Go now…. We have this night’s time only…”
Swara sits on her knees keeping her hands on it and turns into a snake… She then reduces her size to a worm…
Ragini “Ewww… Don’t mind but you are looking like a centipede…(The snake Swara glares her) Ok… I am sorry… Go now…”
Swara crawls out to check and here Ragini suppresses her laughter…
Lakshya “Bhai… Go and check through the windows… No one will doubt…”
Sanskar nods and sits on his one knee… He turns into an eagle and flies out of the window…
Lakshya waits anxiously…
Swara returns to Ragini and shows her thumbs up…
Ragini heaves relief and signs Swara… They take their wand and sneak out of the Mansion…
Sanskar sits on Lakshya’s shoulder…
Lakshya “Raise your right wing if all is well…”
Sanskar raises his right wing…
Lakshya “Perfect… After you…”
Sanskar flies off the window….
Lakshya takes his broom bike,wears his helmet and flies off the window as well…
In the Hogsmede alley near Hogsbar SwaRagini are crossing the road covering themselves with a shawl while SanLak cross the sky just above them…
Hecate College of Wizarding and Witchcraft….
SwaRagini reach there…
Ragini “Di… You remember right what we have to do…”
Swara recalls what Ragini said…
FB SHOWS…
Ragini “Di… Remember… We have to be confident… Coz that Ficus is very smart… We cannot enter college unless he permits us… Your wand is registered in the college and hence it’s your I.D… Therefore,we will enter the college by your help… You just have to tell him that we came here to get something which mom left here in the morning…”
FB ENDS…
Swara nods and goes ahead while Ragini follows her…
Swara “Ficus… Are you awake??”
Ragini “Hey FiCi… Get up… We have some work…”
Swara gives her a weird look…
Ficus opens his eyes and passes a weird look to Ragini…
Ragini makes an innocent face…
Ficus “You both at this hour…?? All well??”
Swara “Of course… We just need to go inside the college… Actually when this idiot and mom came in the morning,they forgot something here so we came to take that and I need to get some potions book… You know na how poor I am at potions…(she added the book part herself to be safe…)”
Ficus nods and asks for I.D… Swara gives him her wand…
Ragini praises Swara in mind for her smartness…
Ficus returns the wand “But just be quick… Coz at this time,Richard and gang roam in the college… So they might trouble you…”
Ragini “Oh Don’t worry about that… It will be taken care of (Ficus and Swara give her a HOW COME?? Look…) I mean we are Gadodias… Who would dare to trouble us…”
Ficus “Hmmmm…. But still… Be careful… And junior Gadodia… Let me be Ficus and not FiCi…”
The girls giggle… Ficus lets them inside….
As soon as They both are out of Ficus’ view, Ragini blows a whistle…
Swara “Shhhh… What are you doing… Didn’t Ficus said that Richard and gang are on round… They will bother us…”
Ragini smirking “Just wait and watch…”
Just then a group of white translucent figures come floating in the air and goes straight down to Ragini’s feet…
Richard “Present boss… (To his gang) Boss Hain hamari… Pair chuo…”
Gang (in chorus) “PRESENT BOSS!!”
Richard then looks at Swara who is also looking at him but in confusion and shock…
A song plays in Richard’s mind in background…
Aayi aisi raat hai jo
Bohat khush-naseeb hai
Chaahe jisse door se duniya
Vo mere kareeb hai
Kitna kuch kehna hai
Fir bhi hai dil mein sawaal kaheen
Sapnon mein jo roz kaha hai
wo phir se kahun Ya nahee
He imagines Swara’s hairs flying in a soft breeze and she is blushing when he offers her a rose… She shies and takes it…
Aankhon mein teri
Ajab si, ajab si, adaayein hain
Ho…
ankhon mein teri
ajab si, ajab si, adaayein hain
Dil ko bana dein jo patang
Saansein ye teri vo hawaayein hain
He then asks her for a dance by forwarding his hand… She turns her face out of shy and keeps her hand on his but it passes through… They both laugh at it and dance separately…
Ragini “Good… I am impressed…”
Richard’s comes out of his dream and realizes that he had been imagining and blushes looking at Swara… She still gives him a confused look…
Swara looks all these with her jaw hanging to floor…. Ragini looks at her… Swara thinks in her mind that how come this notorious group of ghosts are under Ragini’s control?
Ragini reads her mind and signs her with her hand that she will tell her…
Swara nods hastily…
Ragini “Well… Richard, I have a work for you (she signs towards Swara from her eyes… Richard signs her to not to tell anyone… Ragini nods and smirks… This all is noticed by Swara who is unaware of her devil sister’s conspiracy) Ok… So you have 5 minutes… Spread your gang in whole college and look whether some professor or other people are there or not… If yes… Then inform me… And if no then inform me… Richard,you will be checking VP Maheshwari’s cabin and inform me… No… Not me… Swara Di… (She smirks… Richard blushes and all leave)…”
Once they leave, Ragini starts laughing…
Swara “How—??”
Ragini”Are baba I am telling you… But promise me you won’t hit me…”
Swara “Oh no… Tell fast…. My heart is beating faster…”
Ragini laughs remembering that Richard also said same words…
Ragini “Di… You remember what I had told you when you said the mess thing–”
FB SHOWS…
Ragini “Di… See… You have a secret admirer in college… And I have found out who is it… And he wants that to be a secret so I am going to manipulate him into helping us… You just have to bear with that creature for sometime till I am doing the search operation… And it will be a little headache but I am your little sister na… So bear for me…”
FB ENDS…
Swara “Ha… So??”
Ragini “Di… Wo actually RICHARDISTHATCREATURE….”
Swara “What?? I didn’t understood… Don’t say it in one go and so fast…”
Ragini “Di… Richard is that creature…”
Swara “WHAT!!!!”
Meanwhile outside the college,SanLak come arguing…
Sanskar “For God’s sake Lucky accept that it was your fault and you didn’t checked the fuel of your Broom Bike and so we are late… It would have been better if you would have came in my back…”
Lakshya “Oh plz… I don’t trust you… Who knows if a mischief hits your head and you decide to do some stunts risking my precious life… My Broomfield is trustworthy than you…”
Sanskar “You and your Broomfield… I know the reason you have bought this broom bike for… The Quidditch right… Anyways… Let’s go inside…”
Lakshya nods… They both go to Ficus…
Lakshya “Ficus… Get up… We need to go in…”
Sanskar “Ficuuuu… I am back…”
Ficus opens his eyes and frowns… He thinks “Another one!!!”
Ficus “I AM FICUS!!! NOT FICU OR FICI!!!!”
Lakshya smirks while Sanskar gets scared a bit…
Sanskar “Hey… Chill bro… Sorry. Ficus… Happy now??”
Ficus moves his branches indicating yes…
Ficus “Now what are you guys here for??”
Sanskar “Actually…. Ehhh… Ahhhh…. Ya… We are here because…. Why are we here??”
He looks at Lakshya… Lakshya facepalms himself…
Lakshya “Mom sent us for some work… She forgot some parchments and documents in her office which she has to submit to Principal Gadodia by tomorrow morning… So we are here to get that… And excuse Sanky Bhai… Love has made him sick…”
Ficus gives them a I am trying to be convinced but somehow I am not able to… Sanskar nods innocently at Lakshya’s statement…
Ficus “Fine… I.D… I cannot let you in without it and you know that…”
They both nod…
Lakshya looks at Sanskar…
He takes his hand in his pocket to take out the wand but he is not able to find it…
Sanskar “WTF!!! (He searches in his original pocket…) I swear it was here (He searches in his jeans’ pockets) don’t know where it went (Lakshya gives him an I will kill you look) oh no!!”
Ficus and Lakshya look on…
Lakshya “What happened…”
Sanskar “Whatever happened,it happened coz of you… I forgot my wand at the fuel station…!!”
Lakshya “Who forgets the wand..!! How can you be so irresponsible Bhai!!!!”
Sanskar “Stop yelling now… You wait here I will come in five minutes…”
He sits on his knees to transform to his Animagi form…
Lakshya “Bhai!! What are you doing!!!???”
Sanskar gives him as if you don’t know look… Lakshya signs towards Ficus from his eyes… Sanskar dusts his jeans to cover up…
Sanskar “There was dust on it… You be here… I will be back…”
Sanskar goes out of sight…
Ficus “He has really gone out of mind…”
Lakshya “I had told you…”
Ragini tells everything to Swara about how she read what was Richard thinking and took him in her control “And hence Richard is that creature I was talking about…”
Swara facepalms herself and literally cries in despair “But that creature is not even alive…”
Ragini “Relax… I am not asking you to marry him… I am just asking to keep him busy… And why are you worrying… You are ultimately going to be Mrs.Sanskar Maheshwari only…”
Just then Richard and his gang return…
Richard “All ok boss… The way is clear…”
Ragini “Good… Richard send your gang on duty to keep an eye everywhere and you accompany us to VP Maheshwari’s office… I have some work inside and you and Di wait outside and guard…”
Richard blushes looking at Swara “I am ready…”
Swara forces a sweet smile and passes death glare to Ragini…
Ragini reads her mind “I will see you later and I swear I am not lying…”
Ragini gulps…
