Conall Wolf

44) Last wolfsbane potion

Conall and Faolán walk to Ashley her house. They were talking a bit and they knock on the door. Ashley opens up and smile when she sees them.

"You are perfectly on time. I just finished your potion." Ashley says and she gives them their flacons with the potion in it.

"Thanks Ashley." Conall says and he takes the potion.

"No problem, how you are feeling?" Ashley asks.

"Weird... this will be the last time we will drink this potion here. I don't know when the next time will be when we can drink it. Even if we have the money I don't even know if I will be able to brew the potion." Faolán says.

"Same, it is not that we are the real potion masters." Conall says jokily.

"Well if you ever come close to Hogwarts, and you have the ingredients then I won't bother brewing the potion for you." Ashley says kind.

"That is really kind of you Ashley, thanks again." Conall says and he puts the flacon away in his bag.

"No problem guys. And good luck with the next task. It isn't far away anymore." Ashley says. Conall nods thankfully and then they walk off again. Right on the moment they walk back in the carriage Conall can see some people in the bushes, looking at them.

The week went by really fast. Everyone was in stress for the exams, and everyone was inside learning, Roselyn more than anyone else. These moments are perfect for Conall to take some time with Bella, to train more and mostly to spend more time with Katsumi. Since Katsumi was only in his sixth year, he didn't have a really big exam coming up. However, he still had to make some examens so in the last week that contact went less as well.

Conall didn't want to hold his friends up from learning, since these last exams are really important. Most of the times he is alone and he practises on his own as well. Conall mastered every single spell that they can think off, so he is just trying to make everything perfect. Conall is so ready for the Last Task, a miracle needs to happen if he is going to lose.

It was the moment for Faolán and Conalls last transformation at Hogwarts. They say goodbye to their friends and they go to the Shrieking Shack as usual during full moon. They enter it and they start to pack all their clothes they hid in the house. They already went earlier, so that they can finish this first. They won't return here anymore, and they probably don't have the energy to do it the next morning.

"I will miss this place... it was a good changing place." Conall says while he touches one of the walls.

"Me to, but we can't stay here forever." Faolán says and he packs the last t-shirt. They leave two sets of clothes in a drawer, for the next morning. Next to it lay the two backpacks with all the other clothes they never used.

"Are you ready for one last round in the forest?" Conall asks.

"Absolutely." Faolán says with a grin. They smile bright to each other, and then wait until they will change. They kept their word to professor Murray and they stayed low during the full moons. Sometimes they didn't even went out of the Shrieking Shack, and they just slept the whole night. Other times they did go out to run a bit, but they stayed away from any living thing. This night they really wanted to get out, one last time. As Faolán said a few days ago, this might be one of their last times being conscious when they transform.

When the full moon was visible behind the clouds they start to transform. Conall already got the pain out of his head, and before he knows it he was standing eye to eye with his brother as a werewolf. They run out, do their traditional howl and then run into the forest.

They are running fast and sometimes they are having a playful fight together to satisfy the wolf inside them. During their last fight they were growling loudly and then out of nowhere they hear someone yelling in the distance. They immediately stop fighting and they stand ready, who is there?
