Hi, good to
see you all again. So glad you came. Now enough of small talk, lets continue
with my journey. So……Where was I? Ok got
it. So, as I said time had stopped, and I looked around for the person who
stopped time and to my surprise it was Aisha. I never expected Aisha to do this,
especially after that awkward conversation but nevertheless I was happy. I walked
up to her and asked her “Why did you do that?”
she turned to me and said “Dorothy,
I am so so sorry for being rude to you. “and then hugged me, I hugged her back.
“Okay, enough of sentimental things. Now we’ve got to save Shreedha.” Said Aisha “We will, but first why don’t you unfreeze
the rest of our friends, including my new friend Daphne.” I said “Ok, I will
unfreeze Daphne but how do you know that the rest of our friends are normal again.”
Said Aisha, “Just trust me ok.” I said.
“Ok.” After saying this she unfroze them and I heard Aruni and Ania scream “Shreedha!”.
They were back! As soon as they unfroze,
I took charge. “Aruni find a convenient place to escape from, Ania Take the gun
away from Shreedha, Aisha hold the charm.” Aruni and Ania did try to interrupt but understood
once, they heard the tone of my voice. After that I turned to Daphne and said, “Once
Aisha unfreezes Shreedha check for injuries.” Daphne nodded her head and joined Ania. I went to help Aruni. After we were all set,
we congregated in the hall once again. Shreedha was okay but positively shaken.
I had to take charge once again. “Here’s the plan girls, Aruni and Ania will
take Shreedha through the tunnel in the games room, can you stop time till
then?” I asked Aisha “Yes.” Said Aisha, “Good, so once Aruni, Ania and Shreedha
are out, they will telepathically send a message to Aisha, Aisha will then
unfreeze everybody. After that the sous aliens will call a search for Shreedha
and Aisha, Daphne and me will go in different directions but leading to the ice
cream shop, where Aruni, Ania and Shreedha will be waiting invisible courtesy of
Ania’s powers. Is the plan clear?” I asked everybody “Yes, but what will we
tell Newt?” asked Shreedha who was sitting up now, “Don’t worry Daphne tells me
that Rolf is not capped.” I said “okay.”
Said Shreedha doubtfully. I wasn’t worried, I trusted Daphne. As soon as This
conversation got over Aruni and Ania left with Shreedha. After a few minutes
Aisha unfroze everybody. It took a few
minutes before the headmaster understood Shreedha was missing. He immediately
called a search and Daphne and me volunteered to search the food shops. As expected,
they chose Aisha to assist us because of her power to read minds and manipulate
minds, Aisha made a show of rolling her eyes and getting angry to be in my
team. It was lucky that Aisha was the only one who had that power. We went
outside the academy and made a show of questioning all the shop owners, until
we finally reached the ice cream shop. Now the challenge started. We had to meet
the girls without letting the sous aliens know Shreedha’s whereabouts. But we shouldn’t
have worried because Rolf was every bit as smart as Daphne told me during our
search. He had hidden Shreedha in a box upon which he had put an expansion
spell. He was the only person to have powers without being capped.
“Daphne don’t
worry Shreedha is safe.” “Thank you so much Rolf for assisting us.” Said Daphne “My pleasure, but she won’t be
safe for long here. Ever since my grandad made a time machine and used it, sous
aliens have come to check my shop to ensure that I am not up to any shenanigans.
It has really affected my wife Luna.”
Yep you
heard it right Rolf Scamander and Luna Lovegood for the Potter heads. His grandfather if you remember is the one
who made the headlines, the night after the attack. So, anyways I was worried
about Shreedha, but then it struck me. The perfect place to hide Shreedha.
“Don’t
worry, I know the perfect place to hide our friend, but It will take time.” I said “Where?” asked Aruni. “All in good time Aruni, all in
good time.” I told Aruni. After this conversation. Me, Daphne and Aisha walked
out of the shop and headed towards the academy. We decided to leave Aruni and
Ania at Rolf’s with Shreedha because if we suddenly arrived with those girls,
it would arouse suspicion. Daphne and
Aisha pestered me with question, trying to get an answer but I didn’t answer. Finally,
they gave up. I felt bad hiding the secret from my friends, but I couldn’t tell
them not just yet. Heck They were still capped, they were still under the sous alien’s
control. They must have fought it now, but I didn’t know when they would snap.
Daphne was an exception but Aruni, Aisha, Shreedha and Ania were my first friends
and it was my duty to tell them before anybody else.
