Draco who come out looked at Alex who is being hugged by 5 girls and said," you're the one who cast the dragon illusion on me in first year aren't you?", Alex looked at him and scratched his head awkwardly.
Draco looked at Alex and gulped. This nightmare he experienced is very scary to him. Harry also looked at Alex with a frightened expression. Alex is consoling his girls but they refused to let him go and keep on crying in his hug.
He don't know how to console them, it looks like Luna only managed to be immune to it for a few minutes and then she also fell into the illusion. She is shivering while leaning on him. Alex felt more guilty now.
He told the boys to their dorms and then said," okay, look at me. I'm here I won't leave any of you. You're all my precious angels. Evryone of you is special to me. How can I leave any of you?".
The girls looked at him with teary eyes while Alex has no choice but to think of something that can calm them. Then he decided to reveal his shapeshifting. He don't have anything cute on him to show and calm them.
So he transformed himself into a little kitten while the girls at first looked dumbfounded but looking at the cute snow white kitten they immediately swarmed and ran their hands all over his body.
Alex is telling himself," endure it, endure it until they calm down", transforming into a creature will not only give the transformer their form but also their Instinct and habits. So in that form if someone gave them something that'll enchant the form they'll be lost to the instinct of the animal.
It took him 15 minutes to calm them down but he is exhausted enduring their petting. Cats like it especially kittens so he has to endure them in the form of a kitten for 15 minutes while maintaining his own sanity so he won't be lost to the instinct of them. This made him mentally exhausted.
So after transforming into his normal he looked at the girls who are a bit disappointed, he then started thinking which creature has the cute characteristics in forbideen forest. He needs to give it to them in his place as now they're looking at him with a burning gaze like they want to let him again in the kitten form.
Then it clicked to him. Nifflers, they're the ones who can be cute looking but mischievous. So he want to grab a few in the forbidden forest with the help of Hagrid. But now he has another trouble. The girls are blocking the door.
They have a determined look and is asking him to trasform into a kitten as a punishment for making them cry. Poor Alex, he is already exhausted and now they're asking him to endure it again.
He has no choice but to Surender when he looked at the teary eyes that appeared when he tried to refuse. So he transformed again into it and then give up his resistance. The 5 girls started pet his chin while Alex is resisting the instincts of cat.
After they calmed down dalphini took Alex who is going to transform back and hugged him then they all exited the room of requirement while smirking at Alex. He is helpless at this and let them do what they want.
Harry and Darci who is arguing saw the 5 girls who are smiling and asked," where is Alex?", The 5 girls innocently said they don't know while Harry looked at the kitten in delphini's arms. He suspected it to be Alex as he saw Alex transforming into one whenever Lily gets super angry at him. It's Alex's trump card against Lily.
Lily stops scolding and took the kitten onto her lap petting it for sometime. So harry is suspecting Alex used the same trick on the girls then asked," Delphini,when did you get a kitten", delphini looked at harry with a smile and said," just now. Alex gave one to me".
Harry snirked looking at the kitten and said," can I pet it", all girls looked at harry strangely then knew harry must have know about Alex's power to transform. So harry who received the gaze coughed and said," never mind", Draco looked at all this in confusion.
