Pottering around

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Intriguing? Yes.
Interesting? Yes.
Dampening? Yes.
Why? Because when the whole world was busy looking up hallows in the dictionary, moi chanced upon something else.No, I did not not look up the word, but it wasn't the only word I looked up.Me being me, I was grounded (scroll down, this is Vasudha typing) and so, all I had was the 1982 (yes!!) edition of ze Concise (NOT) Oxford Dictionary.And that says harry is a verb. A verb that means (hold ya breath) to lie waste, be tormented by, or make a destructive raid on.
Lie waste=dead??


The Boy Who *gasp* *horror* *blasphemy* Almost Lived??

Guess.

I woke up to find myself lying inside an unfamiliar room. I knew this place somehow but couldn't recollect where it was. I clearly remember that I slept in my own bed. How the hell did I get here then?
I got up and found that the room had no door. Perfect! I was doomed to stay here for the rest of my life. Suddenly, I heard the click of a lock (was I imagining!?) and the door (which was invisible till now) opened. I saw a shabby and old looking person with shoulder length white hair. He growled something after looking at me. I didn't get it. Suddenly, I saw another figure emerge from somewhere in the air. This figure is what told me where I was. He had extremely long white hair and the same beard. He had half moon glasses. He wore something that partly resembled a night suit and partly a dressing gown. I gasped and by the look of my astonished eyes and his calm, smiling face I knew that he knew that I knew who he was (whatever!).
'Come along, Disha!' he said.
'I.. are you.. Professor Dumbledore by any chance?' I asked.
'Yes, I very much am. Now if you can make things quicker.. I have a trunk full of things that you would need here at Hogwarts. We are very glad that you could make it,' he said.

I couldn't believe it. I was at HOGWARTS?! No way. This could not be real, I thought.

'Professor. I did not get any letter from Hogwarts. I did not know, infact that I was going to end up here without anybody, including me knowing about it.'
'Oh, they're not having much owls nowadays to post letters. Anyway, as long as you got here on time! We cleared your parents', relatives' and friends' memories so that they know that they did not know you at all.' he said.
'Oh. Alright.' I said with a sad feeling that I wasn't going to see any of them ever again.
'However, you can go to your home during vacations and they would remember you then. It was a difficult charm and took some time for the aurors to perform this spell on your parents. They kept retaliating. Bit of nonsense, they were!' he said, mischievously with that glint in his eye.

P.S: This time.. it will be continued!
