I'm not afraid of thunder.

I never have been.

But when I heard thunder I jumped and ran to the astronomy tower.

Before leaving my dorm I grabbed a bag under my bed and bolted out the door.

It was midnight so I had to go through the halls as quickly and as quietly as I could.

When I arrived he was waiting for me just like we'd planned.

Regulus was standing near  the railing in flannel pants and a white shirt. And it was really hot.

If I wasn't so excited I probably would have gawked at him for a while and been embarrassed but tonight I had one thing on my mind. The next step in our plan.

"Do you have it" regulus said as he walked over to me.

"Of course" I said, handing him a vial labeled regulus.

"Okay so to make sure this process is as easy as possible we need to take them at the same time. Otherwise we might chicken out" I stated as I opened my vial.

The elixir had turned a blood red color and looked really unappealing.

"Okay, first we put our wands to our hearts and do our incantation" I recall.

Both regulus and I do so and in unison recite the words " Amato, Animo, Animato".

I begin to feel butterflies in my stomach.

I've almost done it.

"Now we drink. But we need to make sure to stay calm" I warn regulus.

"What do you mean" regulus asked, nervously.

"The process can be scary so we have to make sure we stay calm"

"What happens if we don't" regulus asks.

"Not important. Let's just drink" I sigh.

If I tell him that he might be taken over by his animal form and he could become disfigured he might have second thoughts so I decided to keep it to myself.

Both of us take a swig of the potion and wait.

For a moment I wondered if we did something wrong but then I feel it.

This agonizing pain that consumes my whole body and soul.

Both me and regulus drop to the floor in pain.  I have a massive headache that almost blinds me. I feel like I have period cramps all over my body. And suddenly I feel a second heart beat.

Why the fuck did I decide to do this!

As soon as I feel the other heartbeat the voice of Morgan freeman begins to speak to me.

"You must show no fear. It is too late now, to escape the change you have willed"

Yikes that is really great to hear.

I try to focus on my breathing and calm down and it works. The longer I focus on my breathing the clearer an image is in my head.
