The Visitors
When I returned to the construction site from Hogwarts, I saw that no one was working, everyone was in their holes relaxing, then I realised it was 'Drake day' today, I mean Sunday, which he granted as a holiday. Yes, you guessed right, That fucking asshole[ sorry for cursing, but after all he had done, he deserves it ] had renamed Sunday because it was his favourite day of the week when he went to the spa house specially constructed for him, then he would take a walk in his Royal Mughal Garden and then the dog will return to his kennel to sleep like a sloth!!
When I was returning to my hole to relax, I heard the Nkrumahs grunting just 100 yards behind me, I thought they were having a fight that who can scream the loudest!! But when I turned to see what was the matter, I saw that they were bullying a girl and a boy who seemed to be strangers to me, as I had not seen them before at the site so they probably weren't workers. Also, they seemed to be twins and that too of my very age. One of the Nkrumah was verbally abusing the girl, who wanted help desperately while two other Nkrumah were beating the boy, who seemed to be very skinny, by stomping him ruthlessly, have I mentioned that those Nkrumah were literally like Modern Trolls, all of them wearing black suits with masks on. Both of them seemed helpless, hence to save them I advanced towards the Fleet. "Hey, you good for nothing Bastards! take on someone of your size." I teased them and tried to divert their attention. The Nkrumahs got furious, the one abusing the girl yelled while advancing at me, "Here I come, you punny little mouse!!" He came close to me and was about to punch me with his bare hands when I swiftly dodged his moves, he kept on punching but all in vain, after his failed attempts, I squealed in a funny voice, " That's it? Now eat this!!" saying so I launched a kick at him right at his arse, he started to yell in pain, and man that was so funny to watch!!! Have I mentioned I am a black belt in Kung Fu!!
Seeing their mate in pain the other two Nkrumahs ran away, I reached to the girl and asked her if she was fine, she nodded with a smile and gratitude, when we approached her brother he was unconscious, he was bleeding terribly, oh those bastards, they had ruthlessly beaten the poor kid. I immediately took them to my hole and gave him first aid, given to me by Amon, in case of any emergency. After dressing his wounds I made him rest on my mattress, and approached the girl, she still seemed to be in shock, I made her comfortable by giving her some water, and then we started to talk.
"Don't mind those bastards, they are from the dictators highest battalion due to which they consider themselves to be the right hand of the dictator and try to bully every single person." I consoled her
"Yeah, I won't, By the way, thanks for the help, if you had not shown up on time, those men might have killed my brother, and would have even seduced me to do something unethical too. Thanks again" saying so she kissed me on my cheeks.
I was a little blushed, " No problem at all, it was my duty to do so, by the way, are you new in Plostenglots? as I have never seen you here nor your brother, and how did you run into those Nkrumahs?"
"We- uh actually we are from a faraway town called Bennitton, we both are orphans and were living in an orphanage. 3 days earlier we decided to run away from that place as it was like hell, the teachers and the caretakers of the orphanage molested and seduced young girls, they used to whip the boys hard when they didn't agree to help in labour work. I and my brother who lived there for the last 2 years decided to escape, hence we waited for the right time. One night when the guards of the dormitory were fast asleep we escaped the orphanage and ran away. After 3 days of wandering, we reached here when we were caught by some droids who took us to those creatures." she ended with a sigh.
I was trying to digest the information when she started crying, I understood her situation as my sisters too had gone through similar abuse and molestations a lot of time due to which they always kept pepper spray with them, even though it was the future these social evils did exist in the society. I tried to explain to her that it's ok and now she is safe here, she looked at me and hugged me tightly, she smelled of fresh lavender. I consoled her and after she became normal, I opened up telling her my story. I told her the funny incidents which I always got into back at croquet island, she giggled passionately, she looked beautiful when she laughed, with her button nose and deep blue eyes, I had never felt like this for any girl before, I also told her about our group, ' The Shining' and our plans to overthrow the dictator, She agreed on joining the group with her brother, I agreed. We talked and talked and talked when I realized that it was evening. The boy was still unconscious and looking at their tired condition I offered her to stay at my place for the night. She agreed willingly, now the major question was dinner for the night. I told her to wait in the hole while I bring the food from the mess and then the 3 of us could eat by sharing the plate, She nodded in agreement and I left the hole.
When I reached the mess I met Viktor and told him about the incident and the visitors, he heard the incident and agreed on taking them to our so-called headquarters under the waterfall. I took the food from the mess and took it to my hole as no one noticed me. When I reached the hole I saw that the boy was awake and was discussing something with his sister. I approached them and greeted the boy, he greeted me in return. We sat down on the floor and after dividing the food we started to eat. I had a conversation with the brother and he agreed upon what the girl had said. After the dinner, I made some arrangements for mattresses for my guest to sleep on as the dictator was so poor that he could just offer the labourers mattresses to sleep and he would himself sleep in his large mansion on his comfy waterbed. After the guests were asleep, I left for Hogwarts, I reached the meadow and sat on my stone and as I was about to remove my iscreen I felt a hand on my shoulder, I was terrified and turned back in surprise to find that it was the girl.
"Hey, I thought you were asleep," I told her.
She answered, " Yeah I was but I have insomnia due to which I am not able to sleep for a long time, I saw you going out of the hole, and I remembered that during our chat you too had insomnia, so I thought we could chat for some time." I agreed.
She sat beside me and we looked at the dark sky embedded with stars, it was a full moon night, the scene just was mesmerizing, I wondered if she too was a nyctophile, That is when I remembered that I still don't know her name, in embarrassment I asked her about her name, " My name is Tessa Stirling and my brother's name is Chris Stirling" she answered giggling. "Well, it's a good name!!! By the way, my name is Jack, Jack Thing"
We discussed a lot of things about space, the universe and also about Hogwarts [ my meadow] after some time she rested her head on my shoulder and hold my hand tight. I realized she felt insecure being alone so I too let her do so and put my hands around her, she looked at me and I too looked at her, that is when I realised how beautiful she was with her cute haircut and deep blue eyes, we stared at each other for some time and then we kissed.
