It's the end of the world as we know it. Chaos has taken over Varanasi. Ashes of the dead bodies long immersed in the Ganga, arose and new zombies thirsting for human blood made their way to the Triveni Sangam. Where thousands of unsuspecting devotees were busy bathing to flush away their sins and cleanse their souls from the cycle of rebirth. Only the monks were aware of the zombie onslaught. They tried tackling with the trishuls and swords, but were helpless against the waves of zombies descending upon them. The remaining few, ran for their lives to the nearest forest. In despair, they prayed to Lord Vishnu, the patron of Varanasi, for divine help. 


At Hogwarts Castle:

Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy are engaged in a Dark Arts training duel, learning defense in the Hogwarts common room under the guidance of Severus Snape and Gilderoy Lockhart, when a portal suddenly opens out of nowhere and both are swept into it. Harry: What the--?

Somewhere on the outskirts of the Triveni Sangam:

The portal drops Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy on an platform steaming with people doing puja and offering prasad to the God Vishnu. 

Both thinking at the same time, "Woah... look at this crowd... So many people. And what on earth have they covered their bodies with? Yuck! Looks like grey dust. Their hair is so weirdly made... Ugh."

"Now what was this Draco? I know you did this on purpose! Explain or I'll just levitate you and keep you hanging in the air."

"It wasn't me, Potter! Unlike you and your stupid friends, I do not resort to such underhand tricks. A Malfoy always attacks upfront. If you didn't already know already."

"If you didn't do any thing and I'm sure I was dueling with you, then what brought us here? And what is this place? Never seen it in my life! Where are we, Malfoy?"

"I admit I'm as confused as you, Potter. Not sure. My father mentioned something of the end of the world and a zombie outbreak in India. Not sure about the city, though... Wait. I think it was something called like a Vase... Varnish... Varanasi! Yes, that's what the city's name is. I think we should wade ourselves through this sickening crowd to somewhere open, Potter."

"Hmm... agree with you, Malfoy. Where do we start? I know, points the wand: Point Me."

The wands points to the north where the remaining sadhus are hiding. Following the directions, they reach the enclosure. The monks are surprised and shocked at their arrival. When Harry and Draco explain the purpose and the events that lead them here, the monks welcome them warmly, give them a plate of mix-vegetables and puris to satiate their hunger. They bow in deep obeisance in front of the deity Lord Vishnu as a way to thank him for listening to their prayers.

One monk, Satyamendra Trikal Swami, the approaches them and brings the boys up-to-date on the incidents occurring due to the apocalypse. They listen quietly, with Harry and Draco interrupting at regular intervals to give suggestions and at times, wild ideas like "How about we use the Confundo spell? Or maybe we could just use the spell- Expecto Patronum and drive them away?"

"When our spears, trishuls and swords couldn't keep them away, what guarantee do we have of the spells working, Harry and Draco?" inquired Swami. "I'm skeptical of them. We need a concrete solution... As you have seen, our weapons failed."

"Fire, Potter. Fire. It's the only thing that can contain the zombie invasion. If-if we want to save to ourselves then we have to create a large bonfire and invite the zombies to it."

"Your idea sounds good, Malfoy. You sure it'll work?"

"I'm sure. I swear on Lord Voldemort."

"Let's get started. We do not have much time left, Malfoy. But how will we lure the zombies to the fire?"

Swami chips in with, "We can make a chain of dead bodies leading to our destination. With the mass-scale blood-shed, I'm sure me and my monks can manage something. We take responsibility of leading them here."

"So that's done, Go, go, go, folks, We are running out of time. I believe in you, Malfoy and Swami."

Draco and Harry''s bonfire is lit with Swami and team successfully enticing the zombies with the dead bodies to it. They are safe.
