Ah, another chap- so little time. Oh well. (laughs) Yup, looks like you all
caught me! That scene was indeed from Eerie Queerie. :) Best manga I've
read in awhile, and that scene was utterly adorable- had to sick it in! If
I didn't, I'd regret it later! :)
Well, to answer some important reviews- not that you're all not important, what I mean is the stuff that's directed at me. :)
Nolwe Lady Dragon: Can do! :) Got pic, but my computer doesn't feel like downloading anything right now... stupid computer...
Ash: Actually I have. I've read 1-5 so far... to make a long story short, I read book one in the store, bought book 2, read 3 and 4 in the store, than bought book five. O.o yes, I'm rather weird... ANYWAY, the plot of FAKE is very intriguing, but the art (no offense to anyone who draws like that) kinda creeps me out. O.o
Gold Silk: Good question. I suppose everyone else is wondering the same thing. And indeed you are right, it is going both ways. But without the perfume, the girls tend to get sick and the boys... heh, let's keep these notes on the PG, ne? :)
Aura: Indeed! :) But yes, like everyone, you got me... odd; I originally thought no one would notice- because most of the people I met who read Harry Potter hate anime/manga. Oh well, hail anime and all it's glory!
Aljinon: Damn straight! Sorry, I mean is that people need to stop using ideas that are already out there. Try something new people! ... oh, and thank you. :)
Eleonora1: O.o My, my do you have odd tastes! ... I like you, and that's a good thing. :) We can't have a smelly werewolf can we? Don't worry, I'll make him remember. :) Madam Pomfrey- hm... She'll be in this chapter, that way I can explain the situation a little more. Fellow students jumping him?! :) That's Sirius's job, I'm afraid. Oh, and this is just an S/R fic... no Sevvy... O_O But I WILL do something interesting with him later. :)
Thank you for your questions! Please enjoy the chapter! Oh, and I'm being a bit of an advertiser but...

Hail all that is slashy goodness...

SUPER IMPORTANT NOTE: ~thoughts and text references~, ~*dreams*~
~Chapter 47
Lycanthropy~
Poppy sighed putting a large, musty library book down on one of the Wing's beds, lying on her stomach and reading with as much posture as a teenager would have. Her eyes were stinging and her throat felt dry from all the research she was doing for her most unusual of patients, Remus Lupin.
Springtime had come, and the maturing werewolf had... well, putting it quite bluntly, become a walking love potion.
~A theory of beast and human... blah, blah, blah... mysterious and most unusual of cases... blah, blah, blah... Nothing!~ Poppy scowled and shut the book, coming to another dead end. She had already gone through half the library's stock on "Magical Beast" books and they all lead to nowhere on the subject of mating.
Except for Sock Eating Hellbirds, but they have nothing to do with werewolves.
Poppy was about ready to call it a day, but decided on one more book ("Lycanthrophius"). Small, leather bound and parchment paper crumbled at the slightest bend of the page.
Annoyingly, this book had no index. Poppy rolled her eyes and sighed in exasperation. She tried looking on the brighter side of the situation: at least it was pocket sized.
~Lycanthrophias is a once a year event for maturing werewolf cubs/werecub (usually those bitten at a young age or born).~ she read. ~The event is a series of phases (6) during the months of spring to attract mates, and the only reported event when the maturing werecub doesn't transfigure fully.~
Poppy raised an eyebrow. ~Intriguing...~ she thought before continuing.
~Werecub, when in this state releases an extensive amount of magical pheromone. Depending on the smell's intensity, will attract certain genders.~
Poppy decided to skip the graph illustrated and went straight into the phases.
~Phase 1
Growth Period In certain genders, phase 1 is the regular growth period in most young adults- growth spurts, development, etc. This usually begins during the ages of 13-16, depending on gender.~
"Normal enough," Poppy murmured. (Insert anime sweatdrop), "Why does this strongly remind me of the 'Period Book'?" She shook her head and continued to read.
~Phase 2
Pheromone...~
"We went through that one already," she skipped that phase.
~Phase 3
Transfiguration
The phase when transformation begins at a slow rate, coming in with normal canine traits such as dog ears, fangs, tails, claws, etc., etc. This begins during the ending of the growth period (phase 1), after the last full moon before the beginning of spring.~
"Slow transformations... hn..." Poppy turned the page.
~Part II
Phase 3
Sudden Schizophrenia
Sudden mood swings and personality shifts occur. Alongside that, pheromone release increases over a wide range of areas (largest measurements consisting of three American football fields.)~
She blinked. ~Looks like I'll need a stronger anti-pheromone...~
~Phase 4-6
Deadly Attraction
These are the stages where pheromone intoxication becomes most dangerous. Intoxicated males or females are drawn to the werecub, lured by the scent. If the cub is unsatisfied by it's drawn mate-~
"-It kills and eats the seduced, buries their remains, and seeks another?!" Poppy's eyes widened in sheer horror.
This would be the proper moment for Poppy to say. "Oh, shit."
Snapping the book shut, she scrambled off the bed and sprinted for the Wing's door, determined to find Remus. Upon opening it, she nearly knocked over a student.
"Watch it!" she snapped.
"You watch it," the student growled, hand over his apparently bloody nose.
Poppy sighed seeing that her duty as the school nurse came first. She cursed under her breath and ushered him inside. "Sorry about that dear, I'm in a bit of a rush. Now what happened?"
"Lupin punched me," He said as Poppy cleaned off the blood. She paused.
"Who?" She asked. This was odd, it was totally unlike Remus to do such things!
"Lupin, the Gryffindor." He spat. This one was obviously a Slytherin. "Came over to see if a rumor was true, and he punched me." He drawled.
"Rumor? What rumor?" Poppy took out her wand and cast a simple mending charm.
"That he had dog ears," the Slytherin said dully. "Apparently he did, and took it offensive. Punched my beautiful face-"
Poppy's eyes widened. "Did you say dog ears?!"
"Ugly little things they were too," he snorted.
~Oh no! He's already reached phase 3!~ She stuffed her wand in her robe and made for the door.
"Hey!" the boy snapped. "Where the hell do you think you're going?! My nose is still bleeding!"
"Stop your belly-aching and stuff it with tissue, I don't have time for you now!" Poppy dashed down the stars as fast as her legs would allow.
"My father will hear about this!!!"
~Oh God, why now?!~ She thought as she bent a tight corner. ~I have to find Remus, get over my knotted gut and tell him, if I don't-~ She gulped. ~I might as well start seasoning these students for lunch!~ aloud she said "I'm definitely fired!!!"
~~~~~
A bit of a mess this, chapter. Again, I was rushing. :) But, I'm sure you forgive me, right?
Next chapter's gonna have Remus and the others in it. I'll get crackin' to it as soon as I'm inspired again.
The only reason I made this chap informative is so you can understand better of what's going on. I hope I didn't confuse you. :)
Well, gotta go. This computer's drivin' me nutz!
Later!
