Zingaro
Chapter 27
“Are you not going to use the savnat thingy?”
“No.” She chuckled. “And it’s sat nav, it stands for satellite navigation. I know the way, and there will be no aircraft to bother us while it snows. It might be an idea for you to learn how to use it though, so you have the hang of it before you make the journey back alone. There’s an instruction leaflet in the glove compartment. At least you’ll have the benefit of reading that before I teach you the modifications I made. It took me ages to figure it all out before I remembered the chit charm.”
“The chit charm? Ah, that reading charm you use.”
As they travelled south, the snow became less blustery until eventually it petered out altogether somewhere over Yorkshire.
“We should be there within the hour Severus. I cannot wait to see Riley again.”
Severus made a none-committal humph that she would get so excited over a horse.
“He is a lovely creature Severus, very special. You will see when you meet him. I think he will surprise you.”
Severus said nothing. He did not see what was so special about any horse. He much preferred thestrals, regardless of the reason for being able to see them. At least one could fly a thestral, and they were capable of catching their own food. Other than that, unicorns were not too bad either, though he had only seen them at a distance when he was a student. Even then, he lost the ability to get close enough to see them when he lost his virginity at the age of sixteen. And that had only been a short, sharp, two-second shag behind the quiddich changing rooms with a Hufflepuff girl who was sweet on him at that time. He was so excited he barely had his dick inside her when he came, and all she did was cry afterwards because it had hurt. It was her first time too. They never spoke again after that one tryst.
“There Severus, look.” Paula cried, pointing at his window towards what looked to him like a small field full of static and moving dots.
As they descended, he discovered the dots were actually an encampment of Gypsy vurdons. Several small fires were dotted about and children and dogs raced about the camp, playing, screaming and barking.
“Paula this is a Gypsy camp. Will they allow us to join them? After what you told me about your exile from your own clan, I am not so certain this is a good idea after all.”
“We will not be allowed to mingle with them no. You especially, you are gorgio. But I am Zingaro, they will allow me to meet with Orlaeo and collect Riley. In fact, they will probably be glad to see the back of him. Once I have spoken with Orlaeo, I will take my vurdons from the back of the hearse and enlarge it. That is when there may be trouble. It is best you are gone before that happens. I do not want to fight with my people if I can help it Severus. To them I am not only Zingaro, but also chovihani, a witch; they do not take kindly to that. Having a gorgio with me will only antagonise them more.”
“I do not care, if there is a chance they might set about you, I wish to stay and help you at the very least.”
“I can protect myself without coming to harm. As I said, I want to cause as little trouble as possible. They are still my people and I do not want to alienate myself more than I already am. If you want you can drive up the road a couple of miles and I will meet up with you when my business here is done.” Please Severus, these are my people, let me deal with this alone.”
Severus was completely at odds with what she was asking him to do, but as she said, these were her people and who better than her to know how to deal with them.
He nodded his assent and helped her remove the crate from the back of the vehicle. When the crate fell open, she gave the vudon a kick to roll it away and Severus folded the crate, stowing it back in the car.
“Go Severus. Now.” She hissed as several burley looking men approached from the campsite.
Severus hesitated for a moment, but she gave him a shove and he climbed into the driver’s seat and took off down the road, a very uncomfortable feeling in his gut. He watched constantly through the rear view mirror until he turned a bend and lost sight of them.
“Satimos. Miri nav Paula Vance.” She said, lowering her eyes as the men approached. “Mandi mang rocka Orlaeo”
(good health. My name is Paula. I beg to speak with Orlaeo)
The tallest of the three scowled, but he nodded and shouted for Orlaeo.
The three men left and headed back to the camp as Orlaeo approached cautiously. Once they were out of earshot, Orlaeo grabbed Paula’s hand. Paula, you are well?” sShe asked, looking nervously over her shoulder.
“I am Orlaeo. Thank you for keeping Riley for me. Show me where he is and I shall leave you in peace. I do not want trouble, nor do I wish to cause any for you.”
“”He’s in the poav (field) to your left. He wont mix with the other grai, (horses) thinks he’s too good for them. He speared the gry-engro (horse dealer) a few weeks back, now they refuse to help with him.”
“Orlaeo I am so sorry. I will take him and be jilling. Forgive me.” Paula looked at Orlaeo with tear-filled eyes. Orlaeo was her mother’s sister, but had married outside the clan so Paula was not allowed to live with her when her grandparents died. Only the fact they were related caused the Gypsies to allow Orlaeo to keep Riley for a while.
“Bless you child of my sisters. If only … Best you be off. Take him and jawl. Hurry.” She added, looking over her shoulder again.
Paula noticed quite a few of the men gathering now, their eyes on the two women constantly. They did not look happy.
“Jawl.” (go) Orlaeo hissed again as she turned away from Paula.
Paula took flight, racing across the fields towards a large, off white, heavyset stallion. “Riley.” She shouted. “Riley akai. Akai. (here)
The massive beast turned towards her voice and reared on its hind legs, it snorted and whinnied before racing across the field at full gallop, coming to an abrupt halt in front of her.
“Riley, oh how I have missed you angel.” She sobbed, throwing her arms about the great beast and hugging him.
Riley’s eyes rolled in his head and he snorted once more, sending her an image of the band of men walking towards her still reduced vurdon.
Riley lowered his head and Paula grabbed his silken mane as she leapt onto his broad back. Riley took off at great speed, heading for the vurdon and reaching it in mere seconds.
Paula immediately jumped down and enlarged the vurdon, Riley backed up and the shafts raised, the harness magically attaching itself to the unicorn/thestral hybrid.
“See, I tol’ yer she were bengs own. I tol’ yer.” (bengs own, devils own)
“I’m a jilling.” Paula shouted at them. “I’m a jilling.” (I am going)
“An ne’er come back. We’ll not av your sort roun ere.”
“A amria on ye.” One of them spat. Away wi yer. An tek tha beng gry wi yer. Yer MarimA”
(a curse on you. Take that devil horse with you. You are banished)
Paula gave them a brief nod and lowered her eyes again, a sign she meant no ill will towards the men.
Taking the reins and clicking her tongue, she tugged and Riley turned the wagon. He snorted at the group of mean looking men and rolled his eyes, sending a vision of the Gypsy men being speared on his impressive horn.
“No Riley.” She whispered. “Not my familia.”
Paula wiped the tears from her cheeks as they moved along the road.
