Chapter 10

I slowly opened my eyes and my eyes widened seeing the world infront of me I slowly stood and walked towards the people I can feel the pain in my knees which indicating that my knees are scratched but that pain doesn't got my attention as my whole attention is on the sceen infront of me.People in 80's fashion moving around. I felt like I was watching a late 80's movie and I was amazed by that sight and there is lots of differences between wizarding fashion and muggle fashion mainly the fact that the wizarding world prefers more robes, generally robes are common in wizarding world where as in muggle world robes doesn't play an important role in fashion.

As I was looking around there are lots of shops and lots of people running around as I was looking around a small shop caught my attention 'Singh Indian Recipies' written on it.

My eyes widened seeing it and suddenly my eyes automatically switched into portrait view in which all the surroundings are blurred and my foot walked towards that shop even without my command. I went into that shop and looked around and there is something which made my heart skip a beat for the first time in this life I remember getting the same feeling whenever I saw it in my previous life.

And the one that skipped my heart is none other than Panipuri or Golgappa. It is an Indian street food which is popular all over India from Northern Kashmir to Southern KanyaKumari and from Eastren Arunachal Pradesh to westren Gujarat.

Panipuri consists of a round or ball shaped hallow puri in which there will be a paste and a flavoured water the paste generally consists of boiled smashed potatoes mixed with the spices of Indian subcontinent ,finely chopped onions, and boiled and smashed green peas in some cases. And the flavoured water consists of tamarind sause ,spices, onions, chilli powder, chickpeas and then it will be again topped with finely chopped onions and then it becomes Panipuri.

When you put it in your mouth the ball bursts to give a sourness of tamrind sause and then smooth spicy and salty mashed potatoes mingle into mater to give a lip smacking taste.

As I was reminiscing my previous life memories with my precious Panipuri someone asked me what I want, to which I answered saying that I want Panipuri without even turning my head, and then a plate of panipuri came towards me I sat in a seat and stared at my panipuri longingly and then I poured flavoured water in it and kept it in my mouth but my kid mouth is not sufficient for that big golgappa and hence it has broken into two parts but still I can feel the bomb of delisiousness in my mouth I can feel the range of spice is lower compared to that of the Indian one.And hence I enjoyed my plate of Panipuri wholeheartedly.

As I enjoyed my panipuri I wished there would be something good to drink and then my eyes again turned into portrait view to show a lassi counter and I went there and took a lassi to drink and it was lip smacking I just closed my eyes to savour it completely as my stomach is completely filled, then my eyes came from portrait view to normal view then I looked around to see a big man with turban and long beard smiling at me.

I too gave my sweet smile in response and that man smiled even more in response to which I responded with even more big smile and this process repeated for three more times.

And atlast that man laughed and bent down and asked

"Girl,where are your parents?" he asked slowly and sweetly.

And then I realized I didn't have any money with me from wizarding money to muggle money my eyes widened in realization and then I looked at the man standing infront of me and my eyes widened on realizing who he is. Just by seeing the turban on his head and long beard on his face I know he is a Sikh, who are known for their kindness and helping nature even I have not born in that community in my previous life I know them even there is some thousands of miles of distance between their native place and my birth place.

And I clearly know, just by looking at his face if I said that I don't have money he would just smile at me and say "It's okay ,beta(child)".

And due to this I felt extremley guilty looking at his shop he may not be in good condition and here I am eating his food freely from a good man who left his own country in order to survive his life. The more I think the more guiltier I became I looked at the man infront of me and swallowed with guilt

"Mmm...What's the total cost?"I asked.

"Ohh 25 Pence dear"he said with a smile.

"Mmm... my parents are outside I will check them and will come back to pay for you"I said in a low voice looking at him.

"Okay girl"he said with a smile I quickly went out and then turned into an alley with few people and the took my wand and sighed what am I supposed to do with this 'think Pansy think' I urged myself

And then I took the ultimate step

I closed my eyes and holded my hands with eachother and prayed to god

'God please god,please help me for this one time please if not for me even for that good man in there please 25 pence please I will ask for nothing more please give me twenty five pence or atleast give me an idea to get 25 pence'

As I was praying suddenly there was a sound of metal falling down I opened my eyes and saw in the direction of source of sound and saw something has fallen I furrowed my eyebrows and looked in all direction there is no visible human being present here I slowly walked towards the source and gripped tightly on the wand which is in my pocket and then I saw what was present on the ground and my eyes widened seeing it.

There are two coins in the ground a 20 pence coin and a 5 pence coin I was awed seeing it I bent down and picked those two coins I laughed seeing those two coins haha I never knew god will definetly fulfill the wishes of a wizard why the hell JK Rowling has never mentioned it I laughed heartily thinking about it and hoped towards the shop and gave the money

The man who is in the shop has widened his eyes by seeing me coming back he probably thought that I will never come back.Hmm who do you think is here I am wizard Pansy Parkinson if I asked god for something he will just give me the delivery is faster than any other delivery service in the modern muggle world I smirked thinking that.

"Girl, this money, is it really yours?" that man asked in a low voice questioningly .

"Ofcourse it's mine God has given me" I answered to him and hopped out side the shop. From the corner of the eye I have seen him furrowing his brows.

Hmm ..... if only I knew that god will give whatever a wizard asks for I would have already became a PANSY PARKINSON Ahhh this is driving me crazy I have to research more about it ... as I was in my inner turmoil about my research

"Hey,have you seen my 25 pence which was accidentally fallen downside from my window"said a baby sweet voice.

That voice may be sweet for others but for me well...who on earth would have thought that heiress of one of the richest british's wizarding family will suffer for 25 pence.I sighed myself and turned around slowly to see the source of voice
