Harry had packed his trunk and was all set
to go to Hogwarts.He reached the platform nine and three quarters
with his trolley and ran into the pillar with his eyes closed.He opened his
eyes.A scarlet steam engine was waiting next to a platform packed with
people.This was not the Hogwarts express as he expected but the sign overhead said “
Mandore Express”.
Bewildered and confused he turned around
and to his relief, saw Hagrid standing behind him. Dobby was hiding behind his huge legs.
“You are now an NLUite Harry !” Said Hagrid in a pitiful voice.
I am a.... what !! Gasped Harry.
An NLUite Harry. After ‘You know Who’ s
return, It is not safe for you to be anywhere near Hogwarts. As per
Dumbledore’s orders you are to be sent to National Law
University, Jodhpur. Dumbledore feels that it is the safest place for you as no one
has even heard of “Jodhpur” even in the muggle world of its own country. Great man
Dumbledore!
“But.....” before Harry could ask anything, Hagrid was gone.
Dobby looked at him with his large bulging eyes and said" Harry Potter must not go back to Hogwarts sir.Dobby has come to send him to NLU for Harry Potter's own safety, even if Dobby has to shut his ear in the oven door later". Then with a crack like a whip, Dobby Vanished too.
Harry boarded the train with grief and
thought that if Dumbledore wants it, it must be for the greater good. He was
after all, Dumbledore’s man through and through.
On his journey to the college Harry asked
for a copy of Daily prophet from the newspaper vendor, who gave him disgusted
look and handed over him a copy of Dainik Bhaskar instead. It was full of news
regarding administration at NLU and Harry knew that his stay is not going to be
less dangerous than in Hogwarts.
Harry reached the main gate of NLU in an auto and
saw that the middle gate that led to the hostels was locked. Pulling out his
wand and pointing towards the gate he shouted “ Alohomora”. He heard a loud
BANG. The sound had not come from the door,but from under his own ear as the security guard had slapped him hard, yelling “ This gate opens only for
the VC madam. Take the long route around”.
Harry reached the SRK halls of residence and saw that some
seniors from NS were gathered outside the hostel asking some frightened freshers to say
five lines about rose.Harry pulled out his invisibility cloak to evade the
ragging and tried to sneak out unnoticed but the door was crammed with loserly
seniors who stood there as if watching a quidditch world cup. Harry stood
there invisible waiting for a gap when a fresher started reciting his lines:
Sirs & ma'ams...Rose is red in colour..Sirs & ma'ams..Rose smells
good..Sirs & ma'ams Rose has thorns also..Sirs and ma'ams” the frightened boy murmured.
A fatty then asked him to stop and replace
the word “Rose” with “My Ass”
The boy hesitated and then started reluctantly “Mmm Sirs and ma'ams..My
ass is red in colour..Sirs & ma'ams my ass smells good.Sirs & ma'ams...my ass has thorns also..Sirs & Ma'ams”.Everyone
roared with laughter and literally rolled on the floor laughing. Harry seized
the opportunity and rushed inside the door pushing the seniors aside who were
too amused to notice anything.
During his stay, he discovered that there were two type of students. Those who mooted, considered themselves superior and of pure blood while others without moot or job were considered filthy non mootbloods.The Administartion was trying hard to eliminate all the non mootbloods by means of demotion and debarment so that only the pure blood stays in campus.
Harry was expecting the exotic feast like
the one in Hogwarts at the beginning of the term and went to mess thinking of roast
beef, lamb chops, sausages, bacon and puddings. His heart sank to see
the Ganga and Sanyam caterer's menu that had every flavor beans except with mostly vomit and ear wax flavor.He approached the vegetarian mess Ganga, but as he went near Joshi Ji, his scar tickled and burned with pain. He retreated at once.
Harry decided to just take a pack of
lays and a coke from the non veg mess. He shouted out his order to atleast six people attending the
Sanyam caterer’s counter but no one seemed to have heard or understood anything. He
repeated his order thrice to an elderly man who hopefully made some movement
but went inside and never returned.
He shouted Accio Lays.. Accio Coke and to
his surprise none of them noticed or cared as the pack and a bottle came flying from the
shelf into his hand. Without making the payment he left the counter murmuring”
even Crabbe & Goyle are not that dim witted.”
Harry had brought his bottle of butter beer
with him and went upstairs on the hostel’s roof to enjoy. As soon as he opened
the bottle, he heard quick footsteps approaching towards him and several figures emerging in the dark. The
dark figure in the middle looked like Filtch and the one beside him wore a cap
and his face resembled that of Mrs Norris. He stood up and tried to hide his
bottle of butter beer but Mr Norris had
already seized it and was writing down his name and room number while Filtch
was asking him to pay a fine of Rs 5000/- with a show cause notice in his hand.
Harry dint know what to do and said
“Sorry bhaiya !” Filtch lost his temper and
started shouting” Bhaiya ?!! who is bhaiya here?!! I am a senior Phaculty here !!
100 Points from SRK and now your penality is 10,000/-
Harry later found out from other students
that it was the Chief Warden and his assistant Richpal who like Filtch and Mrs
Norris patrol the hostel corridors at late hours. More so when they run out of
alcohol.
Harry dint have enough muggle money to pay
the fine. He decided to plead mercy to the Vice chancellor for waiver of fine.With
great difficulty he managed to get an appointment and as he entered her office
he found The VC sitting in her chair surfing yatra.com. He guessed at once that she must’ve definitely
flunked some students and now looking for flights to stay out of campus till debarred
students have gone back home.
“Good afternoon” said Harry.
“Tch tch “, said VC ” That wont do. Now will
it. I should like you please to say “ Good afternoon Professor Dr Vice Chancellor ma'am”. One more
time, please.
“Good afternoon Professor Dr. Vice Chancellor ma'am “ Chanted Harry.
There now, she said sweetly. That was not too
difficult, was it ?
Harry had guessed by now that it was a
wrong decision to come here.It was Professor Umbridge all over again.Yet he was
determined to say what he came for.
Professor .. he said, I’ve come to..
She raised her hand to silence him and spoke with a broad smile” I know all about your case Harry. Your file is already in
my office inside the vulnerable student’s folder for this sem's repeat result. I might allow to deduct your
fine from the security deposit if you act as my spy to help me eliminate all the non mootbloods from this institution.Also give me names of all the students who
drink butter beer in the hostels and give in writing that you will never
indulge in such activity again.
Harry raised his fist in fury and showed
her the inscription at the back of his right hand that read“ I must not tell
lies” and stormed out of the office.
He heard the VC standing behind him, arms stretched like that of Gandolf, screaming " You Shall Not Pass... this semester"
Harry wanted to go outside the campus to get some fresh air. As he was storming out of the main gate, he was stopped
by guards who asked him to give something called “ Out pass”.
Harry had no clue about the use of an
out pass.
He went to an elderly security supervisor, Arjun Singh, who brushed his
moustache and said “ you can not Apparate and Disapparate inside NLU campus
without an out pass. He then came closer to harry and murmured mysteriously”
there are seven of them for this month and you have to procure it from the
chief warden who holds it close to his heart.It is dearer to him more than his life." He then broke into trance and said in a frightening voice " Students have been held captive in the campus for months. Only you can save them.Go Harry, Find all the out passes and destroy it forever".
Getting the seven out passes from the same
chief warden seemed a more difficult task than finding the seven horcruxes. Harry, determined to save the prisoners of NLU started investigating at once. He pulled out the Marauder's map to look for the secret way out but even the ATM route was guarded.
His eyes fell upon other movements in the map.A black dot labelled OP kept jumping up and down.Similar was the dot labelled RPD. Another dot labelled AKS had a very distinct movement. He goes to the washroom everyday at exact same time and after spending exactly 3 minutes, comes out. Harry wondered whether he was the heir of Slytherin and trying to open the Chamber of Advocates with this ritual movement from some secret passage in the bathroom.
But the most mysterious movement came from the dot that read Joshi Ji. He will go to Registrar's office everyday and come out secretly. Then he will go to Sanyam caterer's kitchen and sneak out secretly.This suspicious movement made him curious and he decided to follow him. Ever since his scar has pained, he doubted that there was something Odd with Joshi Ji.
Next day he pulled out his invisibility cloak again and followed Joshi Ji. As he entered the Registrar's office, Registrar greeted him like his equal , ordered for tea & poha and promised to renew his tender for next five years. Joshi also made him buy a coupon diary for 500/-. Harry knew at once that Registar is under the Imperious curse and Joshi was using it to get his job secured since the begining of this college. He then followed Joshi to the Sanyam Catere's kitchen and saw that Joshi pulled out his wand and pointing towards all the employees shouted " Confundus". Now harry knew the reason why they were all so confused and stupid. Joshi has been using the confundus charm to reduce the efficiency of his competitor caterer.
Harry removed his cloak and before Joshi could strike him he cried " Expelliarmus" and Joshi's wand came flying into harry's hand. Harry then used "Levicorpus"and Joshi Ji hung in mid air upside down. Harry was disgusted to see his Rupa Boxers and an old bronze chain that had " Sanju" inscribed on it.
He demanded Joshi Ji to confess his evil plan or he will use the cruciatus curse. Joshi begged for mercy and pulled out a silvery stream, neither liquid nor gas from his brain. Harry couldnt find a pensive to pour it in so he took a bowl of Joshi Ji's paneer masala that has so much oil in it that it was fit for the purpose. He dived into the oil as he heard faint voices of Joshi that cried " 32/- ka paneer tha ...
Harry's feet landed in registrar's office. It looked like several years ago.A young Joshi was sitting in then registrar Ratan Nura's office and was convincing him to give him the contract for non-veg mess too.
" But Dileep's menu is good", said the registrar patting Joshi's back.
"I have already asked Madansa to plant dead rats and lizards in DMD mess.Aseri will be conducting a raid anytime soon. Dileep wont be here for long" said Joshi.
I am afraid, I can not give you the non veg mess. More so, after you were found entering hostels and catching pigeons. I know what you are up to Joshi.
" But I can not survive on vegetarian mess alone. All students go out to eat and no one touches my food. They would rather have maggi at Hans but not my food"
"I can not help it" said registrar still trying to rub his shoulders.
"You can" Suggested Joshi. "There is a way! If you could restrict the students from going out of campus, they will be forced to eat my food.
Very well then, I will direct the chief warden to issue out passes as miserly as he could.
The memory got blurred and faded away and Harry was back into the kitchen but Joshi had disapparated from there by then.
Now, Evrything was clear to Harry. Just like Voldemort Jinxed the Defense Against The Dark art's post after he was refused the same, Joshi ji has Jinxed the non-veg Mess after he was refused the job and that is the reason why there has not been a single caterer who continued for more than a year in that mess.DMD, Shubham, Anita and now Sanyam....all the caterer's have been the victim of Joshi's Jinx who alone stayed till the last while others came and went. And Joshi was the brain behind the out pass system that kept the students captive inside campus.
Harry resolved to find and destroy all the out passes and set free the prisoners of NLU. He knew that Joshi must've gone to the registrar again.He ran towards the office and as he entered the Admin Block, his eyes fell on the notice board's Education Decree Number 420 that read " The Vice Chancellor is pleased to announce that the following students have been expelled from the university on disciplinary grounds.They are ordered to leave the university campus with immediate effect. And as per the University's policy there shall be no appeal or consideration in this matter.That apart, entering the Vice Chancellor's office is also prohibited." He scrolled down to see the names and there it was. Harry Potter.
Harry forgot everything about freeing the prisoners and tried his best to save his own ass but nothing happened.He tried all the magic he knew and did everything possible in his capacity to get a fair hearing, even requested for a trial by Combat but nothing worked.
He was last heard to have been sighted in the mental ward of St Mungo's Hospital for magical maladies and injuries. Joshi Ji and VC had won yet again. Harry was THE CHOSEN ONE in the list of debarred, expelled and demoted students and like all others he too was THE BOY WHO COULD NOT LIVE in NLU.
