Lirry Stayne Book II

Oops?

Liam was so late, Harry was going to kill him. Liam hopped off his broom and ran inside. "Liam, you're late." Harry said calmly as he stirred something in his cauldron. Liam huffed and placed all his things on the table next to Harry's work area.

"I'm sorry, I over slept." Harry waved it off and pointed to a broom in the corner of the room. "Clean, I'll teach you when you've swept everywhere." Liam looked at the broom then at Harry with a confused look on his face. "But, the broom can sweep on its own."

Harry looked at Liam and blindly pointed at the broom. Liam saw Harry's magic work. The broom levitated and it shoved it's self into Liam's hands. Liam huffed and started sweeping. He couldn't help but glance over at what Harry was brewing. "So, um, what are you making? I don't recognize it." Liam asked when he was about 3/4th done.

"Oh, it's just a transformation potion. Louis needs if for something." This was the fourth time Liam's heard that name, but he has no idea who that is. "Um, who is that? You've talked about him a few times now."

"Oh, right, you've never met my friends. Louis is a werewolf, but I'm not really sure what he wants to shift into. He can already turn into a giant dog." Liam chuckled. "Oh shoot, I'm missing an ingredient. I'll be right back, don't put anything in there okay? And don't drink it, it will kill you." Liam nodded as Harry got his broom, bag, and hat.

Liam was just finishing up when he felt the other end of the broom hit something, then he heard something fall in a liquid. Liam's eyes widened, he took in a deep breath and turned around. Harry was really going to kill him. He had bumped something into his potion. Liam pulled out the, now empty, container, and started panicking.

Well, it didn't change the color and it was near by so that meant Harry was using it. It wouldn't change anything, right? Then he heard Harry land outside and he quickly put everything back so it looked normal. He just finished sweeping when Harry opened the door.

He hummed as he put his hat on the coat rack. "Nice job, now come here. You'll be doing this last part." Liam followed Harry over to his work bench and watched Harry pull out a beautiful flower from his bag. "This flower will make the potion safe to drink. All you have to do is cut it up, put it in, and mix." Liam nodded and started working.

Harry had gone to another room to get something to drink, when he came back he smiled because the potion had now turned a deep pinkish color. "Perfect, now I just have to take a sip and see if it works." Liam felt his heart drop, but the potion didn't change just because he added way to much of one ingredient, right?

Harry took a wooden spoon and gathered some of the potion. Liam watched as Harry drang it and they waited. "Alright, it's not actually going to work until tomorrow morning, but I'm not dead so." Harry shrugged as he started cleaning up.

Then he noticed that one of his containers was empty. "I ran out of dragon tears? I thought I just got some." Harry let out a frustrated sigh. Once they were done Harry showed Liam a few simple spells. Liam got about two of them when he had to go home.

"Alright, don't be shocked if I'm an animal tomorrow, yeah?" Liam nodded and blushed when Harry gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Have a safe flight Liam." Liam was daydreaming when he got back to his cottage.

++++

Liam hummed as he went into Harry's workshop early. He was so excited to see him. Once he put all his stuff down he wondered where Harry was. Then he remembered that Harry took a sip from the potion. "Right, he must be an animal. I wonder what kind of animal he is. Oh a fox? No, a phoenix? Maybe a wolf? A lion?" Liam kept muttering to himself so much he didn't notice that the door that lead to Harry's home was open and someone was standing there glaring at him.
