[The Elixir by Toki Doki
"Let's get down to business," Moody declared soon after Harry had witness the horror that was Lolita's teeth. She left the dentures on the desk, letting her own horrible teeth be visible to the world. They were huge, scissor like and slightly green- "No spells nor muggle teeth-bleach could get these white" she had explained.
"Tell Harry and me about the problem." Moody said, in a scowl voice once more
"I am something of an ambassador between the worlds and the people in them"- Harry dared not to ask what worlds she was talking of- "And you see, for years there have been conflicts between us, but nothing too major. Nothing that requires much ministry help, really. But for years I had heard talk of an Elixir. Created by your people supposedly Voldemort, my people have been speaking of it in whispers. It would give them the chance to be human. To experience things they never felt before," Her eyes grew distant as she lamented on.
"For humans are capable of emotions that we are not and naturally we get curious- even though we are far superior in most respects. We do not age like you do, and our magic is definitely more powerful, but there is something about being completely human. Something that no magic could grant us at one point until the Elixir was created." Lolita explained crossing her legs and fiddling with the folds of her skirt.
"For a long time I was dubious of its existence. I doubted really that it was ever surface. I had simply accepted it as the rumor it had been for years. But when Voldemort was finally vanquished," she gave a nod of thanks to Harry, "certain cases began to appear. It started with a merpson here and there, and then a few centaurs last year. But the cases are coming in by the hundreds suddenly. Some wizard," she spat the word as if it were a thorn on her tongue, "found the formula that I assume Voldemort had concocted. I assume many of us had joined him, which I regret, because they had hoped he would give the Elixir to them in return for their loyalty, but he never did. He did, however, develop it and now someone is mass producing it in secret. It is nearly untraceable." She sighed heavily.
"So many of us are taking it. Just last week, we found 10 merman, a few up by Hogwarts. 5 ogres, 2 giants, and a mountain troll. There are more, two many to list. I found new cases everyday." She nodded gravely. "But what's happened? Have they turned human? If they have, perhaps we should set up a registry or something." Harry suggested.
Lolita looked into his eyes, and Harry could have sworn the lamps flickered. "They have not turned human, Harry. They have died."
