If only I could apparate

The second to last edition of the harry potter movies is almost upon us, and like any other die-hard - loving harry potter fan, despite the fact that between the time when I first laid hands on Harry Potter, and today when there's still 13 days to go when the movie releases, a period of 11 long years have passed... the passion, the excitement, is alive and thriving like back in my teenage years, and probably the only remaining connection between today and those long foregone years...

Since in the last book, Harry finally earns the magical legal license to apparate, I wondered, if I had the magic blood too, what all would I do if I could apparate!!

Apparate, according to the harry potter parlance is "a magical form of teleportation, through which a witch or wizard can disappear ("Disapparate") from one location and reappear ("Apparate") in another. It is sometimes accompanied by a distinctive cracking or popping sound, though this is associated with ineptitude rather than success; the most skilled wizards can Apparate "so suddenly and silently" that they seem to have "popped out of the ground" (Dumbledore)" (source - wikipedia)

And during the reading of all these instances of apparition, besides imagining myself a part of Harry Potter world, I wondered how wonderful it would be to be able to apparate, and be present at a place of my own will, at just a wish of my mind. Not only would it save LOADS of travel time (and money, but right now that's not important) but to be at my chosen place at any time I wish to.. that would be amazing!!!

If only I could apparate, I could reach at each of my friend's wedding scheduled starting from 29th nov till 30th Jan (5 weddings! 5 weddings!).. and explore a lot of places of India in the meantime!

If only I could apparate, I would be easily be present at my baby sister's 18th birthday, as soon as my office work got over, and not worry about leaves!

If only I could apparate, I would have made a visit at each of my special-friends place on diwali night, given a hug and best wishes, and then reached back to my own home just in time for the annual puja... and petted my adorable pup Tom

If only I could apparate, I would right now be next to my sister, forcing to set up the chat option on her new phone, so that we can be in contact 24x7!!

If only I could apparate, I would be just in time for everything, explore all moments, make many more wonderful memories than possible as a Muggle!

For anyone else, I guess the desires would revolve around which would fulfill their emotional fantasies and desires... quoting many of my friends current situation, they would want to be with their better halves whenever they desire, without having to go through the physical and mental rigmarole of travel.. to be with them everyday, share the day's moments together, bridge the physical gap and enjoy the little moments that come by themselves..

On a lighter note..

A friend who would like to remain anonymous (and rightly so) remarked, she would apparate to walk in onto two people making out! This would be so that she could register the shock on the very embarrassed twosome, and she could have her devil laugh ...

Another wish comes to spend every weekend in Vegas..

My sister, and me too, would want to apparate to every fine dining place in the world and explore rich cuisines..

The she-devil continues with her wish list, and I quote- " i wud want to catch all actresses/models in their without make up mode...and feel gud abt myself "

The philosopher in one person wishes to visit Antartica and see ice, and only ice, around him...

The same philosopher suddenly professes the need to visit all the 7 wonders of the earth, and then make a journey to the center of the earth

A very serious and righteous use of this power is expressed as one that could be used to nail all criminals, by apparating to the crime scene at "just the right time"

Travel - friendships - family - food - defense - many emotions are captured while trying to use a magical power.

While we may never get a magical power, I do wish we all get the means to achieve these different dreams.

Except for the She-devil.. she's gonna make a lot of people uncomfortable!!!
