After reviewing all the statements and requirements with Goodwill and eventually going through the paperwork. “So why is this collar going on now?” Matthew asked as he helped the now naked Laura in putting on this light-blue collar bearing a silver bone-shaped tag with her name and somehow details on it. “As otherwise its enchanting won’t activate” Goodwill answered while packing up the items from the store selected for Laura’s use while a dog as she had chosen to be.
“Enchantments for what?” Laura asked. “Mainly tracking you just in case. Think alike to the chips normal animals get implanted with these days only magical” Goodwill answered “Otherwise it can’t be removed while you’re transformed yet will adjust to your changing size and shape”. “Basically extra safety to prevent being mistaken for a stray” Laura accepted as she walking into the center of the big circle and got to crouching. “Can’t even be cut off unless with a powerful spell” Goodwill assured. “You still sure about this Laura?” Matthew then asked in worry. “Dad it’s only for three weeks” Laura assured before quietly saying to herself “At first anyway”. “Relax Mr Harrow. I keep my promises” Goodwill assured. “And if you die in-” Matthew then started. “Oh all my spells then end… sadly even those that chose permanent pethood unless I had a successor in place correctly just beforehand” Goodwill answered.
After everyone had finished chatting Goodwill stepped into the smaller circle and starting chatting words neither Laura nor Matthew understood while making odd hand movements and the mere seconds it started Laura felt her body freeze in place yet still able to view everything going on around her…
…then while still frozen Laura started feeling wired waves of some sort of energy go through her, neither comfortable nor uncomfortable, but uneasy all the same as the world around her expanded in size. Then a tickling sensation briefly joined the energy waves as was she guess was fur covered her body. Her hands and feet started shifting shape into paws as pads forms on both her palms and nails morphed into claws. Her lower face started pushing out while her ears moved slightly in sync with then expanding in size and flopping down, she in fact could have yelped as something started to grown out from the base of her spine. After all that it came as a relief when Goodwill stopped and Laura felt it as she regained the ability to move.
“(Gosh that was instance)” Laura muttered only to notice barking overlaying her words. “Laura? You still in their?” Matthew then nervously asked as he approached. “(Yeah Dad. I am)” Laura answered. “Maybe I best explain that right now to Laura it can somewhat sound like she can hear her own voice only with a braking overlay while only we hear barking” Goodwill assured Matthew “Also anyone else who’s a human turned animal she’ll also hear speaking normally beside their animal form’s normal sounds overlaying their words”. “(Oh. Guess that makes sense)” Laura accepted. “Just in case Laura can you raise your right paw as a yes to understanding us?” Goodwill then asked. “(I suppose)” Laura answered as he did so. “I guess I’m somewhat relived after that” Matthew responded. “Oh before I forget” Goodwill remarked before walking into a corner.
“(What now?)” Laura questioned only for Goodwill to return with a mirror that he held in place to allow Laura to get a good look at her finished transformation, one it turned out was into a very young looking Boykin Spaniel with Dark Brown fur. “(Wow this retaining human ageing mixes in development as I was expecting to be beyond puppy age in looks)” Laura noted. “My Guess this should be it for now then?” Goodwill then asked. “Pretty much” Matthew responded. “Well unless there are issues I should be seeing you in three weeks then” Goodwill accepted:
