LlamaBoy and I were at the trailhead out by the ocean. We were sitting on the bench and just having a really good time! Suddenly I realized that my words were not sounding like they should sound. Then I realized that I felt sort of funny. Like really strange funny and oh look, I'm sitting on the bench and it's really awkward so I got up and stumbled and fell because my balance was all off.
It didn't help at all that LlamaBoy started laughing so hysterically that he was crying, tears pouring down his face.
He hooted and hollered and raised his arms in success, just like Rocky Balbao did at the top of the stairs. When he finally stopped prancing around, he wheezed his laughter to a stop and sat down on the bench again.
In the meantime, I'd somehow staggered to standing on four legs and found my balance. Since I'd already learned how to change into different animals (although, yes, I do have a favorite animal form), I was sort of used to adapting quickly to being animals. But, really, a llama? I knew I had a llama body because it was reflected in LlamaBoy's glasses.
Oh cool! This body knows stuff automatically! I found that out after I did the famous llama-spit at him. He just laughed more ... and then he explained.
He'd been working on a potion which helped witches to change their form to animal form. He wondered about how effective it was, and whether or not the person had to know about it for it to work. So, knowing that I was used to having an animal body, he figured that I'd not freak out too much if (when) my form changed shape. The thing with this potion, which is different from polyjuice potion, is that the trigger is the conversation that the witches are having. So, he added it to my breve ... and carefully guided the conversation.
I thought back and yes, we had been talking about ... llamas! And alpacas! And vicuñas. I was glad to be a llama, being as they are the largest of the three and more prone to defend themselves than the other two (who rely more on flight).
I hummed ... and grumbled. Pawing with my padded foot on the ground, I butted him and thought hard. "HOW LONG?!" Who knows, he might pick it up? Well, whether he picked it up or just was continuing to ramble on about his invention, he mentioned that, unless I could come up with something to change back, being as it wasn't a usual sort of metamorphmagi change, that it would last about two weeks.
I hummed some more and glared at him with my huge brown eyes squinting dangerous sparks. He finally stopped laughing and then said ... "See? I have it all prepared!" and he gestured to behind the bench. I'd not even noticed -- there were a backpack and a llama pack on the ground.
"We're going camping, right?" he chortled. I nodded. That had been our plan. "So, let's go camping!"
