" Good Afternoon maam..."
Svadhina got a grip over her. There were guests in her home and she didn't even give them a proper treatment.

"Please, please sit down. You must be tired, it's so hot afterall. Would you like tea, coffee anything ?." she asked

"Water will suffice, Miss. Anyways we don't have much time to waste; if you could sit instead of fretting like an idiot."

"Severus.." hushed McGonagall " The girl looks shocked, give her some time."

Mrs Haimi came running down the stairs " Honey, who do we have here."

"Oh, please welcome. Do you happen to be travellers? Svadhina go bring them something."

"Oh yes, I'll be back in a minute."
She rushed to the kitchen to get two glasses of water. But then she realised she would better give them mango faluda her mother had just prepared.

McGonagall's eyes didn't fall from the girl even for a second. She was uniquely beautiful. She was of a pale wheatish colour with black hair and eyes like Severus himself. Although her eyes just held a plethora of emotions as she literally fretted out infront of them. Her black hair fell below her knees. She wasn't that tall but had a beautiful curvy body. She wore a sleeveless salwar kurti of periwinkle colour.

McGonagall was brought back from her thoughts when Svadhina handed her a glass of ,....she tasted..of something sweet like mango.

"Thankyou dear."
She handed another glass to Professor Snape who just nodded.

" Namaste, how can we help you? greeted Mr Haimi when he returned with the groceries.

"Well, my name is Minerva McGonagall, Deputy Head of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and he is my fellow colleague Professor Severus Snape. We've come to hand your daughter her letter of acceptance to the school."

"You mean to say that I'm ..I'm magical ?"

"You're a witch, girl." snapped Snape and was nudged in the chest by McGonagall's elbow.

"Let me explain you properly, child." said McGonagall.

"Oh no please,....don't worry yourself Professor. I think I understand what you're saying. It's just that I'm a little overwhelmed to believe so."

"I beg your pardon."exclaimed Professor McGonagall but before that Svadhina started to speak to herself in excitedly.

"Oh it's all real, you're all real....Hogwarts, wands, wizards, goblins, centaurs, goblins everything ?"

"How do you know about ....?" McGonagall was cut off when she was asked

"Then Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Draco Malfoy, Minister of Magic and Headmaster Albus Dumbledore is real tooo?" she said as she looked the letter undersigned by Dumbledore himself.

"Listen to me Miss, how on Earth do you happen to know all this ?" asked Snape.

This made her stop and look at him intently. She was drinking in his features. Snape had captivated her senses the moment he stepped foot in her house.
She said afterwards, " It's not just me, you're kinda famous all over the world."

"If you could just give me a second."she said and ran upstairs to her room. When she came back, she kept four paperback books on the table- two of which were thin spined while the others thick.

"These, that's the first book..." she said pointing to a thin book " it was published around the summer of 1992. It got enormous fame; such a fame that the author is a billionaire already." said Svadhina in a matter of fact way.
