"Okay, I have some good news and some bad news." Ivor told Jesse and Petra. "Which do you want first?" They both gave him unimpressed looks. "Er, right." Ivor said after a minute. "Well, the good news is, once I make the potion all over again I can reverse engineer a way to counter act it!" Ivor laughed, clearly enjoying that he made a new potion. "What could the bad news be?" Petra growled. "No idea." Jesse replied, staring as Ivor fanboyed a bit more over the fact that he had made a whole new potion that had never been seen before. Petra let out a loud bark that caused him to remember the bad news. "The, uh, bad news is that it took me 4 months to complete the original potion, and it will take around 3 additional months to make an antidote..." Ivor trailed off, looking away from the Order members – turned – dogs.
"Fucking what!" Petra snarled. "Petra, I know that is not at all what we wanted to hear," Jesse said in his 'I'm trying to keep calm but I might fail in the next 30 seconds' voice. "but we need him to work no matter what."
"Oh, wait, I have to tell your friends that you have been turned into dogs." Ivor said, suddenly realizing the horror of the situation – for himself. "Yeah, you do that." Petra said, her tail wagging slightly at the thought of what they were going to do to him. "Petra." Jesse said, though he couldn't deny he felt just as angry as her. And these new dog instincts were really kicking in fast, so there was a good probability of him actually attacking Ivor again (if you count punching him in the Nether).
"Okay, I will get the ingredients, and I will get your friends. With their help I can probably cut some of that extra time right off!" Ivor shouted, making both Jesse and Petra put their ears down at how much LOUDER he had gotten. Damn dog hearing. Ivor raced off, most likely to do as he said, when a thought came into Jesse's mind. "Do you think they will believe him without us there to help him out?" Petra looked over at him, clearly not happy about that. "Nope. Let's go after him."
(Le time skip)
"If you are going to come with me, then you will need to have fake names, and you will need to respond to them!" Ivor said, after an hour of trying to get Petra and Jesse to not follow him. He pointed at Jesse. "Duke!" He pointed at Petra. "Lily!" "Oh he better not think that we are going to respond to those names." Petra snarled lowly. "We don't have much of a choice at this point." Jesse sighed. "Besides, it could be way worse." "Don't ever say that again – I thought we had learned that by now!" Petra tried to punch him – momentarily forgetting that she had paws now – so it looked like she had just put her paw on his shoulder heavily.
"You will also need to act more dog-like if we are going out in public!" Ivor snapped, opening the door. Jesse only just made sure that Petra didn't bite Ivor's leg. "Please just go with it? I know for a fact neither of us are going to take well to being trapped in one place for long." Jesse asked her. "Fine, but only for that." Petra said. "I can of course just say you are your own dogs – as that would be fitting based on your attitudes about me." Ivor said. Neither of them had any idea on what to think about that.
"Well let's go then!" Ivor shouted at them, once again making them flatten their ears to their skulls from how loud he was.
This was going to be a huge mistake and they knew it.
