 Post #3, finishing up Mrs. Alex Turner *asterisks user* Secret Door
So this particular kneazle appeared to be a little bit temperamental. Or maybe it just didn't like medicine, which, to be honest, was perfectly understandable to her. Daisy had tried to pet and snuggle it into submission but the most she could give him was one drop of tonic because the fussing became too much. Okay, one drop would do? Professor Hernandez had said these kneazles were on the road to recovery already, right?
So what was the difference?
She definitely needed to set down the little creature before she prepared the next task, though, so she softly set it inside its litter. "I'll be right back, little buddy. Promise!" As fast as she could, she went to retrieve the feeding bottle and scourgified. She couldn't really remember how to cast an hot air charm so cold milk would have to do! After filling the clean, but cold, bottle, Daisy moved back towards her kneazle and once more picked it up. Then she softly rocked it as it drank up the milk. So, it didn't like the tonic but it did like the milk and Daisy smiled at that. Smart kneazle definitely knew what was good for him!
After a while, the creature seemed to have enough of milk and stopped gurgling it down, so Daisy set the bottle down and got a warm, fluffy blanket. Oooh. These were really good? She was half-tempted to steal one, but she rather thought the Professor would catch her so, instead, she wrapped the fabric around the kneazle like she had seen her Mum do to her younger siblings. Perfect! Now it was all tucked in, fed and cosy. Whispering a few parting words to the sick kneazle, the Slytherin carefully laid it down on its litter and went to get ready to leave.
Gloves and mask off, she thoroughly washed her hands and finally swapped back into her uniform shoes. All done then.
