Room 308, Monday night

[smartestone]

Hermione's trying very hard to finish off her letter to the Ministry. She got them to let her use magic here, so maybe they'll be easier-going on her without Harry's influence, and Professor McGonagall already said she'd help argue her case if need be, but still, she wants this to be perfect. And if all goes well, she'll be able to be back at Hogwarts in June just to take her O.W.L.S.

Crooshanks is at the foot of her bed... doing absolutely nothing.

[Open!]

After trying to find some resolution with his mentor, Jamie decided that the next thing to do was to check out one of the magical type people going to this school to see if she would be able to help.

He scampered into the room and yipped to get Hermione's attention.

Hermione looks up, frowning. "Hello," she says, just as Crookshanks starts hissing at him. "Crookshanks, no."

Jamie gave the cat a nervous look. Damn that thing was ugly.

//Hi. I don't suppose you speak dog do you?// Jamie said.

Of course to the normal person that just sounded like a dog yipping and making strange noises.

Rikku clapped her hands excitedly. "Oooh, it's a dog! Helloooo, puppy!"

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

//I'm not a dog!// Jamie barked in a frustrated manner. //I'm Jamie Madrox. I'm just dog shaped at the moment.//

[smartestone]

Hermione puts the letter down, careful not to crush it, and picks up Crookshanks to keep him from being horrible. After Scabbers, he's a little skittish sometimes. "Do you belong to someone?" she asks, not really expecting an answer.

Jamie sighed and face-pawed. Actually his sigh was more like a wee-tiny chihuahua howl.

//Fine. This worked for Skywalker,// Jamie growled.

Jamie scampered full steam at the wall and knocked his doggie head into it.

Creating two more chihuahuas.

All of them slightly woozy from the head bumping and staggering around the room a little bit.

Rikku gasped. "Whoa! Did you see that? He just split!"

She got down on her hands and knees next to the dog - now dogs. "Are you hurt? Er, any of you?!"

[smartestone]

"That's Jamie!" Hermione says. "What happened to you?"

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

//I got turned into a dog by my girlfriend who apparently is now magical,// Jamie growled and yipped. //Of course none of you can understand a word I'm saying, can you?//

[smartestone]

"I'm sorry, I can't understand you," she says, frowning. "I could try to Transfigure you back, but without knowing what happened I don't want to give you four tails by accident."

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

Jamie whimpered and laid his head down on his paws. //This is so humiliating.//

[the_merriest]

Rikku leaned over and attempted to scritch one of the dogs behind the ears. "It's okay, puppies. I mean Jamies. Valentine got turned into a chicken once, but he got turned back. That means people can fix stuff like this, right?"

And that's when the rear leg started thumping out of control.

//Jeez O' Pete! I know it feels good but every single time?!//

[smartestone]

Crookshanks tries to jump out of Hermione's arms, but she's got a pretty good strangle grip on him. That might be why he's trying to get away. "Do you need anything? Food? Water? ...Bath?"

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

//I'd like a ham sandwich, a belly rub and a diet coke,// Jamie conveyed in a series of growls and yips. //But since you don't understand me? I'd also like naked pictures of Eliza Dushku, a pony and a winnebago.//

[smartestone]

"I don't have any dog food, but I think cat food is kind of the same thing," she says, "and you can use Crookshanks' water ball."

Oh, the cat is really happy with her.

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

//Cat Food?!// Jamie yipped. //BLECH!//

Jamie shook his head rapidly and absorbed his other duplicate pups.

//Thanks! But I'll just find something else.//

And with a wag of his tail and a yip that could be construed as a "Thank You", Jamhuahua headed for the door.
