_some snakes in the wild and hearing them talk. Seems like Spring would make him much more... Needy. It was usually mating season for a lot of creatures and it seems that Nagas were also affected in some ways...

//Part 4//

Seasons had more of an impact on Ominis than he had imagined. Even more so in his Naga form. The cold made him sleepy. The warmth more energetic. Spring had been... Interesting. He hadn't realized at first why it was like that. But then it made sense after seeing _

_well. But the problem was that he didn't know how to handle it. He had to find a place he could stay in for a while, until he was done with it...and then find what to do with the shed skin. This would be another issue.

_scales where... different. SO he did the only thing he could think of and found a painting with a snake in it to ask, thanks to Parseltongue, what might be happening.

Shedding.

Snakes were shedding when getting larger and it seemed that Ominis would be going through it as_

//Part 3//

Finally, it was getting warmer and Ominis couldn't be happier. He felt more energetic, he could actually stay warm and didn't need to layer up like crazy.

But another issue was starting to appear. He was itching a lot, even more so when he was in his other form. His_

_he just new that people were going to start suspecting things... He couldn't stand the Undercroft because it felt so cold. The Slytherin common room as well. But he couldn't tell anyone, could he?

_ managed. But his eyes were changed, looking like snake eyes...

It would seem that Ominis Gaunt was now a Naga.

_would have been the center of attention.

Mostly because of the /tail/ that was replacing his legs.

It took him a few days to learn how to, well, do everything... And then he tried to regain his previous form so he wouldn't be noticed...

That took a week and a half, but he _

_ingredients as well? No matter, Ominis had bigger problems now...

As soon as he managed to stand and move, he made his way to the fireplace, before Flooing to the Three Broomsticks. He'd be safe with Sirona. It was early so there wasn't many people, thankfully, because he_

_remained unnoticed until the next time they cursed him.

At first it was... The potion had worked, in a way. Giving him a snake's sight... But after being hit again with the curse, something happened. A reaction between the potion and the curse... Maybe some bad quality_

_watch as we torture your friends this time..."

Ominis' heart almost stopped at those words. He would definitely protect his friends.

Little did he know that his parents somehow found a way after years. Something dark, of course.

Yet... Things didn't go as planned, but that _

"Crucio!"

That was the only warning Ominis got before there was only pain. He gritted his teeth, determined not to scream. It would be worse. His parents had once again wanted him to torture some muggles and he refused.
