The tiny creature promises to make an appointment with Miss Hemstitch for you and to let you know when House Beavertail's Tutor can see you.

The call comes in a break before evening meal. The tiny golden glow dances in your vision, attracting your attention, then announcing in a high whine, "Miss Hemstitch will see you now."

You feel awkward, caught off-guard by the immediate summons. You suddenly wish you could pause in the lavatory, but the creature leads on. You follow the little golden mote, staying close enough to hear the whine of its tiny wings.

When you approach the Tutor's office, the door sweeps open.

"Come in, Mothwing-Marshall," Miss Hemstitch says. "Sit down. What seems to be your concern?"

You talk over your problems today in Enchantments class. When you detail how you embarrassed yourself and Ms. Sterling, the Tutor's mouth quirks up at the corners.

"Oh, Aurelia," Miss Hemstitch says. She looks you over with some intensity, sweeping her gaze from head to toe, from toe to head, and settling back in your lap. "So she's going to give you extra lessons?"

"Yes, Miss Hemstitch," you tell her.

"Very well," Miss Hemstitch says. "Nothing improper about that, on the face of it." She smiles. "But each first term, Ms. Sterling seems to find a cause to adopt some specially talented or troubled young pupil for extra tuition at her hand. So. You are to let me know if anything Aurelia Sterling does should interfere with your concentration, well-being, your other studies, or your duties to House Beavertail. If nothing untoward should transpire, you need not trouble yourself." The Tutor smiles and shakes her head. "I told Aurelia that she would be better taking her talents to the world, but she was set on coming back here. She very much enjoyed her time in House Minerval, and she is a brilliant instructor in Enchantments. Though why a witch of her capacity..." Miss Hemstitch sighs. "But I ramble, and I'm rather talking out of class." She straightens up. "Loose lips sink ships, as the mundanes used to say?" She rises from her chair, and you join her. "Be off with you, young man, you'll be wanted at table. The Mistress of House will want to see every smiling face."

Much reassured, you thank the Tutor and proceed toward the evening meal with House Beavertail. Ms. Sterling too talented for Boarbristle? And she had a habit of choosing a teacher's pet? Curiouser and curiouser. Did Miss Hemstitch suggest, without saying it, that Ms. Sterling had engineered your little accident because she liked you and wanted more time with you alone?
