Conall Wolf

11) Wolfsbane potion

Conall walks with madame Baudelaire to the carriage of Beauxbatons. Madame Baudelaire is talking proudly to him, saying that Conall can always come to her if he has questions or if he needs help. Conall doesn't really listen, because he is with his mind somewhere else. He can't stop thinking on the moment when his name got chosen and the whole Hall cheered for him.

Before Conall knows it they enter the carriage and an explosion of noise overwhelms Conall. He looks amazed at everyone feasting. Of course he also sees some people sitting in the corner a bit annoyed, probably because they wanted themselves to participate. Conall walks into the carriage and someone immediately runs up to him and hugs him tight.

"You did it! You did it Con!" Faolán says proud and he releases him from the hug. Faolán looks with a big smile at him and Conalls smile immediately starts to grow.

"I know right, I am so happy." Conall says in return and he hugs Faolán another time. Soon enough everyone gathered around them and they start to raise Conall and he is floating through the carriage. Everyone is shouting his name and they are partying.

Conall gets a chair in the middle and he looks around happily at everyone. Faolán, Thierry and Roselyn come to sit next to him. After a while Conall feels his head start to sting and he closes his eyes rubbing with his hand over his temples. Roselyn notices it and she places her hand over his hand on the chair.

"You're alright?" Roselyn asks.

"No... headache... I think the tra- the you know what is close.-" Conall says with a painful face. When he says that he starts to realise why professor Murray wants to talk with him and he turns to Faolán. "-Oh yeah Faolán, we need to go to professor Murray in about 15 minutes."

Faolán looks up at him and then at his watch, he nods. "Maybe we should go then? We can't be to late by the headmistress."

Conall nods as well and he stands up. He closes his eyes because of the sudden movement.

"What are you going to do?-" Brigitte asks. "-You aren't leaving your own party right?"

"N-no. Of course not.-" Conall eyes widen and he quickly looks at Thierry and he whispers "-Thierry please, fix a distraction."

"Everyone, look at this!" Thierry screams and he points at something in a different direction then Conall and Faolán. Thierry nods at them and the twin run away out of the carriage.

When they are outside they breath deeply in and out.

"That was close." Faolán says.

"Yeah... oh my god, this headache." Conall rubs over his temples again.

"I have the same feeling whole day. Next week is the transformation... Is that by the way the reason we have to go to professor Murray?" Faolán asks.

"I think so. She only said we had to go to her office in an hour and that I had to bring you with me. But I think that can be the only reason."

"And do you know where her office is?"

"No, but we will find out." Conall winks at Faolán and Faolán shakes his head while laughing, then they start to walk to the castle.

"So, how are you feeling champion?" Faolán asks with a grin.

"Well, I thought it would feel more pleasantly. I hoped it wouldn't come with huge headache." Conall says jokily.

"And besides the headache?"

"Besides the headache I feel wonderful, perfect, overwhelmed. It is amazing! Faolán, you don't even wanna know how I feel right now. But I would have felt better, if you could fight along my side." Conall smiles at Faolán and he smiles back.
