The Interview
Where is this ? I asked a little uncertainly to the gigantic figure.
“Diagon Alley.” Hagrid replied. “Of course! We have given it a makeover with picnic tables, plants and lights.”
I was here for a cover story. Professor Dumbledore had agreed for his maiden muggle interview – a milestone in my career!!
With a pounding heart I followed.
But the Alley kept winding into bends till a bucket of ice cold water hit my face.
And then that angry, rasp of a voice, “You are late again for your job interview. Get up you lazy head!!”

Dear Geeta,
Dreams do mirror our stresses don’t they? Good one.
Shalom,
