"Your plan is quite brave, Eric," the Nurse says. The green snakes she has in place of hair flicker their forked tongues at you. "Perhaps you might be more at home in House Leontes?"

You shake your head. "No, Miss Wormwood," you say. "I'm happy with House Beavertail. I want to help people. Get things done. Make friends. I just don't want to be stuck with people thinking I can't control my talent."

"Well, Dorothy has asked me about the subject," Miss Wormwood says. Her eyes are deep-set and wide open in her pale grey face, giving the impression of a withering stare at whatever she looks at. "It was a larger magical operation than I was willing to undertake. But with your prodigious virility, proven on the well-warded womb of Ms. Sterling, a simple fertility charm and potion might suffice for you and Dorothy."

"Yes, Miss Wormwood," you say. "Could you? Would you?"

"Step closer, Eric," the Nurse says. "Closer." You're eye-to-eye, your noses a palm-width apart. Her snakes sway distractingly in the corners of your vision. "There." Her scent is desert dust and faint spices. Her thin lips are pale purple. As Miss Wormwood holds your gaze, your willy pulses, fills, and stands up, tenting out the front of your House robe. "Even among the young, virile, and talented scholars at Boarbristle, you are exceptional. Your seed has already proven remarkable as a component of my formulas. I would be pleased to have regular contributions of your vital humour, the quintessence of humors, so to speak, after phlegm, blood, yellow bile, and black bile."

You swallow and nod. "Yes, Miss Wormwood."

"If you agree to see me regularly and provide your contributions, I would be pleased to help you with your promise to Dorothy," the Nurse says.

"Yes, Miss Wormwood," you say.

"A moment," she says. She turns, her white robe swishing, and turns back, an unstoppered glass bottle in her hands. "Lift your robe."

Trembling, you lift the front of your robe above your stiff willy. Miss Wormwood smiles, her closed, thin lips curving up slightly. She fits the neck of the bottle over the head of your member and grasps your shaft lightly in her long, cool fingers.

"Kiss me, Eric."

You tilt your lips toward hers and close your eyes. Your lips meet. She rubs the skin of your shaft quickly up and down over the stiff inner core. Your balls twitch. Her tongue teases your lips open and presses inside, twisting and sliding its slim tip over your tongue.

There's a slithering feeling like fingers in your hair and a sudden sharp pain below your earlobe. Miss Wormwood's snakes cradle the back of your head so you can't pull away. You moan through your nostrils as a lace of fire runs down from your ear to the core of your body. Miss Wormwood's fingertips slide your skin faster up and down your shaft. Your balls twitch again. Your neck stiffens, your shoulders tighten, and your ribs strain as her venom traces through you. When her venom reaches your balls, your member erupts in heat and light and joy, filling the bottle with spurts of your hot seed. Miss Wormwood releases you, and you sway on your feet for a moment. Your robe drops from your fingers and covers you again. Then she's back, easing you back to lie on an examination table. Your legs shake, drumming an erratic rhythm into the table with your heels. Your head aches with tight pain on the side where she bit you.

"Very good, Eric, very, very good," Miss Wormwood says. "I will have Dorothy's potion for you tomorrow."

Running her cool fingertips over your head, neck, torso, and limbs, the Nurse feels out where it hurts and directs her wand to ease your tightened muscles and soothe your pains.

"Go rest, Eric," Miss Wormwood says. "We will be seeing more of each other."

You walk away unsteadily, the stone floor seeming to rock under your feet and a faint whine singing in your ears as aftereffects of Miss Wormwood's venom.
