Bathes in Maple Syrup | Dancing Lobster | Mrs. Charlie Weasley | Seneca's Beard | That's So Fetch Belle had no concept of time at the present moment. All she cared about was getting as much of these finger foods in her belly as she possibly good. Free food was definitely not a thing she could pass up or let go to waste. Plus one never knew how soon she would be eating normal food again once she became a mermaid. There was only so long she could survive on kelp and little fishies, so fuelling up ahead of time was probably the wisest decision she could make right now.
Part of a quiche, half eaten by yours truly, was dropped onto the table the instant she heard it was time for testing to begin. And let it be known that Belle was a thirsty woman, so this timing was absolutely perfect. Gulp! Gulp! Gulp!
A quaint little burp followed suit. "Not bad," the ginger stated, looking down at her empty vial. It wasn't the greatest thing she ever drank (she had been spoiled at Beauxbatons the last handful of months, she had to admit), but it was far from the worst.
Then seconds went by. Then maybe a minute or two followed. "Uhh ... is this supposed to take this long?" Was all the food she had eaten just moments ago preventing her transformation into the majestic mermaid she was destined to be from happening smoothly? Or ... was she already a mermaid, cursed to walk amongst the two-leggers until she found her one true love? HOW ROMANTIC!
Out of the blue, Belle started to feel dizzy. She could feel herself going through all of the feels, and it was such a bizarre thing to be experiencing. Her vial suddenly slipped from her grasp and fell to the floor with a loud CRACK!
Normally she would have apologized, but she was so disorientated and trying to prevent herself from losing her lunch and potion. She closed her brown eyes tight, and breathed deeply.
When she opened them, she was utterly confused. When had she fallen? Why was she on the floor? HOW WAS SHE BREATHING? DIDN'T MERMAIDS NEED WATER?
In a panic, she started hopping around the place rapidly for a giant tub of water or something similar.
Wait a minute... Why was she moving so fast? And why all of a sudden was she craving carrots?
WHAT HAD THEY DONE TO HER?!!
