Heartbeat

Chapter 26

I was going crazy, How is it even possible for anyone to come unprepared without any list, with no recommendations what soever, with zero interest. For sightseeing. Apparently I had met this living soul who ticked all these boxes. Harry's lack of enthusiasm was now making me question his favor all over, When I moved to Paris I couldn't stop myself from roaming and exploring and going gaga all over the place. I behaved and acted as an true tourist, later on Bryan joined my curse and together we saw almost everything with such curiosity. 

I turned my head and looked at him he was staring at the map, good. At least he is seeing the map may be he could pinpoint something. 

"Did you decided what you wanna see first?" I asked him over the map which he was studying so seriously.

"No." He replied slowly.

"Didn't you made the infamous tourist list? what to see and what not to see?" I tapped on his map.

"No." He said bewildered.

"This will take us no where Harry." I sighed. 

"May be that's why I appointed you." He rolled his eye. Appointed? what the hell did he say? I raised my eye brow so high I was afraid it might shoot above my head.

"Asked you, asked sorry it came out wrong." He massaged his temple.  

I would have gave him the right answer to his snarly comment but sealed my lips when I saw a vain bulging on his forehead, he looked tired and troubled. Why am I putting up a fight? when I can solve his misery, I can take him places and be a guide which he asked for. ASKED not APPOINTED. Gezz why am I shouting in my own head?

"Leave it up to me. I can handle this on my own" I stopped walking and turned to see him.

"Okay." He replied. That was easy was he waiting for this?

"First give that map to me, it is giving me anxiety" I said opening my palm for him to place the map. 

He looked dubcious on handling over the map, Are you kidding me.?

"Are you kidding me? You need to trust me Harry." I said with an irritation glare.

"It's not that. I want to keep it with me." He replied in a stone tone. 

I gave him a full minute to decide without uttering a word with my palm still open when I thought I was making fool of myself I heard him growled then he kept the map in my stretched hand and walked ahead. 

A goofy smile spread all over my face, I kept it inside and ran few steps to catch with him.

***********

"I can not hear a thing" Harry said aloud. 

"Ssshh....you need to concentrate here." I slapped his arm.

He was quite for a moment and then again he said. "Still nothing."

I gave him a side glare, we were standing at our world most ancient and historic place at ' Li Adamstrat totem' basically, back in history there was held a huge battle fought in between muggles without there acknowledgment that they fought on wizards land, nothing could have been done back to stop them, it lasted days. When the battle came to end, those who lived returned there land and those who died were trapped in the totem for eternity. 

"You need to bring peace in you to listen." I snapped at him.

"Are you looking around us? there are hundred's of people circling this thing. How could you bring peace with in you?" He back fired. 

Very few of them had actually witnessed the truth behind the great tale, people could hear the whispering of dead from the inside of totem if listened very acutely.
