boot is here

[alt_terry]

that was . . . very odd.

boot is glad to be himself again.

he knows how lucky he is that the Headmistress noticed him

he is grateful to her for changing him back

and glad he isn't in any more trouble

except

he didn't quite understand how truly cold his cupboard really is

or how lonely

until now

since he has seen what it is like in a place that is not

Why did your master turn you into a dog?

[alt_terry]

because boot was careless. master has some glass globes he uses when teaching students about transfiguring fragile things. boot dropped one and broke it.

[alt_neville]

He transfigured you for that? I mean, students must break those globes all the time, don't they? Why didn't he just use the reparo spell and fix it??

[alt_terry]

boot isn't a student. boot is a stupid mudblood.

[alt_neville]

Merlin, I'm sorry, Terry. I didn't mean to, well, rub your face in it.

(I don't think you're stupid, anyhow. Anyone can make a mistake. I drop stuff all the time.)

[alt_terry]

never mind, boot is the one who is sorry. students shouldnt worry about what they say to boot.

it wasnt just the glass globe. maybe. boot thinks master was also just angry that day.

[alt_neville]

Anyway, I'm glad you're changed back. I was sort of worried about you.

[alt_neville]
