The Werewolf and The Monster

Chapter 40 - Reapers Teachings

Pandora stood next to Hagrid, talking quietly with him. The students slowly filing out of their previous class and over to their next.

She grinned at the sight of the golden trio slowly walking down to the hut, the rest of the class following shortly after.

"'Ello today ev'ryone, Today Pan'ora here will be teachin' yeh abou' an creature from 'er 'ome" Hagrid explained. Pandora nodded with a small smile.

"Thank you Hagrid, please go grab the creature, remember how I showed you." Hagrid nodded and plodded off into the dark forbidden forest. "Now I must warn you, these creatures are very jumpy to sudden loud noises, so I'll have to request you keep quiet and don't do any sudden movements. They don't see the way we see." She explained.

Hagrid came wandering back, a snow white creature wrapping tightly around him, periodically down its body was a set of legs, roughly 12 sets in total. It looked around curiously but not taking notice to anyone, Not until Pandora moved.

She hummed as she unwrapped the creature from Hagrid, allowing it to wrap around her whole body, its legs clinging tightly to her. She hooked her hand underneath its throat to keep its head supported as it looked around, similarly to what one would do with a snake. "Can anyone tell me what this creature is?"

"Its a Reniux." Draco muttered, crossing his arms. Pandora smiled at him.

"Right you are Malfoy. Reniux's are blind to most living and undead beings, until the person moves or talks, So this one right here can see me, but cannot see Mr Finnigan. I don't exactly know why they are like this. But they are." She shrugged alittle and looked at the creature in her arms. "This one is I'd say roughly 50yrs old. So still pretty young. They have few predators so can naturally live for a long time, around 700 years."

The creature unwrapped from Pandora and climbed its way onto the ground, looking around alittle. Some of the students nearby backed off, causing it to look at them. "Don't fret, they are completely harmless, they eat berries and an array of different vegetables. They are curious though. Theres also a possibility it'll walk into you."

Pandora continued explaining as the creature waddled around, finding its way over to the golden trio, only to walk straight into Hermione. The reaper just sighed and looked at the bushy haired girl.

Pandora hummed as she kneeled down and scooped the creature back up, the glazed over eyes locking with Hermione.

The class passed without incident, nobody got injured and the class was enjoyable. Pandora hummed as Harry pet the creatures head. "I best be off returning this guy to my friend then." She gave the trio a toothy grin before popping out of existence, truthfully she just teleported to Deaths Land.

~('v')~

She fell back into her chair, tapping her fingers against the wooden desk. Thoughts swirling around her mind before she finally had enough. "Clovi."

The small familiar house elf cracked into view in front of her. "What can Clovi do for Master Pandora today?" She grinned at the taller being as she rocked back and forth on the heels of her bare feet.

"Can you fetch Dumbledore? Let him know it's not important but I'd rather tell him before just going ahead." She explained, Clovi nodded understandingly and with a click of her nimble fingers, she snapped out of existence to relay the message to the old gentleman.

She continued to play her thought in her mind over and over, ultimately deciding to open the large window to allow some air in.

Dumbledore walked in shortly after, a laid back yet knowing smile on his lips and his baby blue eyes twinkled over his half moon glasses. "Yes Pandora?"

"I've been thinking, and when I think, its either an amazingly good idea. Or down right stupid. Recently I've been wanting to take up the skill of transfiguration, But the Reapers version of transfiguration." She explained, Dumbledore just sat up a chair as he listened intently. "You see Death, as much as he loved seeing us residing in his lands. Made us to prowl earth most of the time. So to hide easier he gave us the ability to morph into animals from a specific family, mine being cats. As you know. But Grim-Reapers can learn a neat little trick of Transfiguration where we can turn into any animal, as long as its native to Deaths land. It could be a partial morph, or a full morph."

"How many of your kind can do it?" He asked cautiously.

"Only Bunny. She learnt to make it easier on her when exploring the habitats."

Dumbledore hummed as he thought on his answer, knowing his permission allowed her to do so or not. "Very well, But I want Minerva to supervise any practical practice, and if it goes wrong, I won't let you continue any further." He informed, a grin breaking out on the smaller creatures face.

"Oh thank you SO much Dumbledore!" She smirked cheerfully. "I have books to go fetch now."

She waved goodbye to her master before disappearing, allowing him to leave her office at his own accord.
