Draco spun around. Still dressed in dark clothing. Already he didn't like the looks of this ( Read more... )

And there may or may not be a Tim. He's gotten awfully tan, awfully quick, his legs showing under the indian shawl wrapped around him.

And for some reason, he's smoking a rather long pipe.

Draco stared at him as he walked over.

"Odd look for you, isn't it?"

Tim lifts his head at the words, a smile on his face. His eyes are a startling snake like yellow.

"Odder still for you. Kinda strange get up for a desert, huh?"

Draco glanced down at himself.

"It's normal for where I come from." He sniffed in a superior tone. It was now more of a comfort to him. He knew where he belonged, and he ruled his realm there.

He did notice the eyes though. Familiar and unnerving.

"Tim? What is the meaning of this?"

"Gotta be hot kid."

Tim rumages under his cloak, pulling forth a shiny canteen.

"Lemonade?"

Draco blinked. Hot? It was cold. He was cold.

But no, the sun was overhead, and blazing now. And he was thirsty.

"Yes." And he ended up amending it with a "Thank you."

And 'Tim' tosses him the canteen.

"Drink up. S'good for you."

Draco neatly caught the canteen, and unscrewed the cap, before taking a large drink from it.

He re-capped it before tossing the canteen back toward the Not!Tim.

"Again, my thanks."

The shaman looks slightly different now. A little scalier. And is his tongue slightly forked?

It is definately a biting pain in Dracos stomach.

"You keep looking at things with your own eyes. That's no good."

And Tim takes a puff of the pipe. The resulting smoke is decidely serpentine.

Draco clutched his stomach.

"You poisoned me." He almost hissed in return.

"Who are you? What are you?"

The pain simply intensifies, as if something were actually eating out of his stomach. But the feeling spreads, no longer confined to his stomach, but as if something were eating all his insides. If he looks quick, he might be able to see something moving under his skin.

"Call me Grandfather."

Draco doubled over, and sank to his knees. He stared down at himself. Oh god, some kind of transmogrification. But why does it hurt so much? Polyjuice potion? No, that couldn't be right. He could have sworn it was simply lemonade.

He then defiantly glared at the shaman.

"Whoever you are, you will pay for thissss."

Grandfather, who is looking even more serpentine by the moment, smiles back

New eyes, grandchild. New sight. Take a look around.

There was something wrong with his skin, something *moving* underneath.

His eyes blinked, and his head darted around some. Everything was shimmering somehow, or more colorful.

"What?"

And Grandfather talks again, just not with human words.

Look around you.

Even as Draco moves a little bit, his skin stretches, peels back. Begins to shed.

Step out of your shell. See what you hid behind.

Draco did look around. Everything seemed different, felt different. His tongue darted briefly to taste the air. Pure instinct. He started to get up, and bits of skin were falling away, leaving scaled skin in their place. He stood up, and stared with some horror and disgust at the reminants of his skin.

A snake, but not completely.

"But that's me, isn't it? What am I?"
