good observation about the haystack in attic or in the barn loft .its in the attic.it should have been the barn though,my apologies...

Here's today's post...


The girls sat down as Harry sat on the stool in front of Shaun at a distance. With great difficulty Shaun selected a pencil and began immaturely with drawing the skull. Shaun never in his life had drawn anything except for few charts for his studies. But looking at the shape of Harry’s face he shook his head and erased it. it barely came close to Harry’s face. He was getting tensed and so was Ron. He just stepped ahead to see what was Shaun drawing and just then Shaun stopped him
“I will draw only on one condition that no one sees the picture till I am finished with it and I think its fit for everyone to view it” Shaun said and Ginny protested
“hey then you will take hours to draw and we wont get to see even a little of”
“Ginny…its alright” said Sara
“as you wish Shaun” she continued nodding in agreement and Ginny rolled her eyes
“and that includes you too guys” Shaun said looking at Ron and then at Harry and they grudgingly agreed. Shaun then got to work with Harry’s portrait.


It was almost 45 minutes and Shaun’s pencils began working furiously. Seeing Shaun draw with such concentration was quite some shocker for Sara. After few more minutes Shaun breathed out heavily as he finished with the first example.
“done?” asked Sara and he looked at her and then at the portrait and nodded. Everybody got up but he stopped them again
“I want Ron to sit next” he said
“but Harry’s portrait?” asked Hermione
“later” he said. Shaun looked at Ron and Ron nodded and took Harry’s place.



Shaun began with his work again with usual instructions of tilting his head properly and not changing his pose every other second and after an hour or so Ron’s portrait was done.

“can we see now?” asked Hermione
“um…” he said looking at the portrait and nodded and the girls jumped at the chance and looked at the portraits and indeed they were awesome
“these are beautiful” said Ginny in awe
Harry and Ron looked at each other and smiled and then at Shaun and winked
“well done mate” said Ron smiling a bright smile as he saw his and Harry’s pictures looking back at him.

“So, girls now that he has proved you with our examples would you like to come ahead?” asked Harry turning towards the girls and Ginny nodded. And so stepped in Ginny and Shaun began his work on Ginny’s picture.

It took longer than Ron’s portrait and Ginny was getting impatient but she was trying to keep calm and listen to Shaun’s instructions.
“even this time round I would want you all to wait till I am done with everyone’s portraits” Shaun said but Sara was about to protest but Hermione nodded in agreement.

Ron whispered “I think this is going to be fun”
“yeah, but I am worried about Sara” said Harry “she seems to know that something is weird in here”
“yeah and so does Hermione, but Shaun seems to be acting really well with his instructions” said Ron with a proud smile.
“hmm…but look at her, she is still skeptic” said Harry


An hour and fifteen minutes later Ginny’s portrait was done and in stepped Hermione.

Shaun started after exercising his wrist a bit. As he began drawing he was smiling a huge smile, one could say a smile of satisfaction but Sara was sensing trouble from the guys end. With instructions in regular intervals Shaun finished with Hermione’s portrait too in an hour and removed the sketch from the stand and board and rolled it and kept a side. He looked at Hermione who was very eager to see the picture but he shook his head and said “later in the end, Hermione. all in a good time” with a bright smile and Hermione slightly saddened nodded and got up from the stool.


“Sara?” asked Shaun and invited her to sit opposite him. Sara looked at him with skepticism but got up nonetheless and walked ahead
“I hope you aren’t tired and sleepy” he said looking at the time which was well past the midnight.
“I am not” she said defiantly and sat down on the stool opposite him and Shaun smiled and began his work on Sara’s picture…

Have A Nice Day:-)
