Miss: So close, but you and Aurelia suffer side effects.

This time, Miss Hemstitch is unavailable to supervise your attempt to control your Wild Magic. Instead, your Housemistress, Bertha Beeblossom, stands ready to supervise and attend your trial. A senior witch with a buxom figure, one might even say voluptuous, enhanced by her swooping neckline, close tailoring, and undoubtedly a touch of Glamour. While the Headmistress, Pernilla Porcinilla, projects brightness and flash, Mistress Beeblossom's presence imbues the area with a soft glow and the fragrance of honey. And where Headmistress Porcinilla has thick, shining golden locks, Mistress Beeblossom has a head of frizzy silver-grey hair.

"She puts herself forward as the ideal magical mum," Sandevin once told you. "Kind and clever and soothing, but direct if she finds anything wanting. And I have to say, many of us Beavertails have exceedingly vivid, usually erotic dreams of her. Particularly her boobs. You'll get to see them bare at the next season-turn circle. That's when I started having my Housemistress dreams, the second half of my first year."

"Do you think that might be her own special talent?" you'd asked the prefect.

"Sucking up libidinal energies out of our dreams?" Sandevin had said. He frowned and looked to the side. "Uh. Better not noise that about."

"Are you ready to proceed, Eric?" Housemistress Beeblossom asks you.

You bring your gaze up from her collar, where her robe is held closed by an extravagant golden ribbon tied in a great bow, to meet her eyes. You take a breath, and say, "Yes, Mistress Beeblossom." Once you've met her eyes, you can't look away.

Aurelia Sterling is not in the room, but as in the last occasion, she observes via a magic mirror.

"Your task is simple, Eric," the Housemistress says. Those eyes, those eyes. "Control your wild talent and direct it to remove the golden ribbon. Nothing more. Nothing less. You may proceed."

Mistress Beeblossom closes her eyes. You suck in a breath. You'd just been staring at her eyes, not breathing. You raise your wand and cast a banishing, then an invocation of calm and balance. You look to the side, seeing Aurelia in the mirror. She nods twice. Go ahead.

As you call on your Wild Talent, your nerves tingle and your pulse beats loud in your ears. It's hard to get it to rise without letting it have its way entire. You clench your jaw, concentrate on the big golden bowknot decorating Mistress Beeblossom's cleavage, and call on your special power again.

Let me help you, Eric, you perceive Aurelia's voice in your inner hearing. Rise, rise, rise.

Your willy springs up to full hardness. You feel the Wild Magic racing up your spine. ECDYSE! you intone, hoping your talent will just take the ribbon.

⚂⚁ + 1 = 6, Miss.

Keep the task and ENCOUNTER Aurelia Sterling at -1.

WHOOSH! Off flies the broad golden ribbon, exposing Mistress Beeblossom's breasts to your full view. Large -- very large -- and surprisingly firm, with large pinky-brown nipples springing from broad crinkly disks of the same color, upon beautiful mounds of a pale honey cream.

You feel a draft.

"Close, Eric," Mistress Beeblossom says. "Look down."

You've dispatched another House Beavertail robe to the four winds. Your willy stands up strongly, saluting your Housemistress' kind smile and prominent bare breasts.

There's a sound of discomfort from the direction of the magic mirror. Aurelia's face has gone pale, almost green. Her head ducks forward and there's a terrible, loud-voiced gurgling.

"Attend Ms. Sterling," your Housemistress says. "Bend your knees a little, yes. Balance your weight." With a gesture of her wand and a single word, Mistress Beeblossom propels you through wood and stone, through earth and air, to Aurelia's chamber.

Aurelia is doubled over on the floor, retching.

"What can I do?" you say.

You have Ambition -1, Bravery 0, Cunning +2, Diligence +2.

You have 7 XP and can apply ADVANCEMENT when you ACHIEVE YOUR GOAL or come to an apt point in the story.

You are in PATERNITY, with Boarbristle's Enchantments professor Aurelia Sterling carrying your seed.

Aurelia Sterling is also your FRIEND and assigned tutor in mastering your Wild Talent. Since your Wild Talent (Strip Magic) is already a Character Move, like a spell, you don't need to spend Advancement to bring it (mostly) under control, but choosing an Advancement related to your work would be appropriate.

You have a FAVOR from Miss Wormwood the Nurse.

Roll +DILIGENCE(+2) (+2 Diligence, +2 FRIEND, -1 HANGER-ON, -1 Forward) to ENCOUNTER Ms. Sterling. On a FAILURE or as an option on a partial success, DEAL WITH YOUR HANGER-ON.
