It had been a long, tedious road to get to this point of his foray into becoming an animagus. He had been at it for months and he finally got all the steps and things needed in place. All he needed now was an electrical storm. He'd had to redo the mandrake leaf portion because it had been cloudy during the full moon in May.

The night tonight was clear, thankfully. He hoped it would stay that way.

He took the leaf out of his mouth and placed it in the crystal phial. Williams watched from up near the ceiling as Tycho put in a strand of his hair, the dew that had been rather annoying to procure, and the chrysalis of a death’s-head hawk moth.

He'd gotten a cabinet for this next part and he gingerly placed the phial inside of it. Now he just had to perform the spell every dawn and dusk - a challenge when he so enjoyed sleeping in but it would be worth it in the end. There was also the waiting for the next electrical storm and who even knew when that would be.

Williams floated out of the room and Tycho followed suit though his exit was through a door. He locked it behind himself to insure that the cabinet containing the phial would be kept safe and unbothered by anyone.
