On a 7-9, Morgan and Fay have a reunion in House Leontes

"Bllbllbllbllbllbllbllblll," Fay bubbles, her head under water. She emerges with a splutter and a puff of atomized droplets like a breaching seal. "I needed this. You needed it too."

"Golondrina packed me off to the bath," you say. "I guess I was still a little chilled."

"Maybe you should get Old Snake Hair to give you some more tonics," Fay says. "She helped you get started right when we were switching houses."

"Yes, I was trapped in Infirmary for quite a while," you say.

"Well, at least Nurse likes you," Fay says. "Likes you too much."

You actually blush. It's not like Fay doesn't already know in more-than-intimate detail what Miss Wormwood was getting up with you, involving snake venom, paralysis, and every possible sort of penetration.

And the snakes on Miss Wormwood's head, licking the tears from your eyes.

You swallow. "She's a bit much," you say. "Even when it was good, well."

"Well," Fay says, nodding. She submerges again and blows bubbles. "Bllbllbllbllbllbllblll." She re-emerges. "You warm now?"

"Yes," you tell her.

"Then let's get dry. And then, let's get wet."

You hear a few titters behind you and Fay as she leads you by the hand back to your room. It's not like House Leontes are prudes, but they have a somewhat backward notion of what a public display of affection should look like. A moon-faced blonde witch with an intent expression of lust on her face, hand-in-hand with a gawky broomstraw brunette witch looking, well, you feel a little moon-struck, well, in House Leontes it's a giggle-worthy scene.

"Let's make it magic," Fay says. She circles the room, casting a ward, then summons a night-dark dome surrounding your bed. With a whispered word, then another, stars bloom above you in the dark, twinkling like the skies of a warm desert night. Fay lights a cone of incense and waves her hand over it to waft the smoke around, spreading its heavy sweetness with a sharp under-scent.

You melt into Fay's warm softness. The incense and Fay's magical glamours go to your head, dizzying you, making you unsure where your body ends and hers begins, which sensations are silky hair on skin, and which are soft, fine coverlets. You clutch and roll and slide yourself against Fay, who keeps a better presence of mind, guiding you, parting your legs, moving her lips against yours, moving your hands to touch her, here, there. You feel heat and moisture against your fingertips, and you move them, questing for Fay's satisfaction. She urges you on with little sounds, with movements, and you find yourself again in pleasuring her.

"Ah, ah, ah, ah, AHHH!" Fay cries out, pressing her legs tightly together round your hand. Her head and shoulders curl up off the bed and fall back with a soft impact. Another wave goes through her, clutching her tight and letting her go. Another.

At length Fay pulls you back up for a kiss.

"Let me sing to you, Morgan," she says.

As you lie beside her, Fay sings a long, crooning song, in no language you recognize. Sometimes her voice lowers to a purr, and sometimes rises to a loud cry. You close your eyes and imagine the waving palms of a desert scene beside a broad river, where oarsmen propel a royal barge, and high on the prow perches a yellow-eyed, watchful cat.

Fay rises above you. "Lie back, Morgan," she says. "Let me."

You let Fay kiss all down your body, from forehead to toes, omitting no part of your skin showing to the twinkling stars of your conjured sky. She nuzzles your bush, nibbles your hips, uses her tongue to draw lines and circles down your legs. Each time you flinch or giggle, Fay soothes you back to silence.

You look up at the stars. It could be a warm desert night, with the fragrance of incense, the scent of Fay's arousal and now your own rising at her touch.

And then Fay devours you in earnest, parting your legs and bowing to show you love with her lips and tongue.

"Oh, oh Fay," you say as her tongue parts your folds. "Oh yes oh yes!"

Fay pauses until your voice and breathing steady. When she starts again, you try and hold still, pressing your lips together. Your breath hisses loudly in and out of your nostrils as Fay finds each place that brings you pleasure, excitement, urgency.

You close your eyes, seeing again that vision of the barge upon the desert river, the waving palm trees, the watching cat.

And then Fay brings you to a crisis of pleasure and joy and all is heat and stars and brightness. You fall into a lovely, blissful doze, and then to sleep.

When you wake, lazily stretching, you feel something's a little off.

You blink, your whiskers twitch, and you look in confusion at the plump white cat curled up asleep in a bed which suddenly seems enormous.

"Mrow?" you say in surprise. "Mrrreow?"

You extend your paw. It's thickly furred in black, all the way up.

"Miaow!" you protest.

"Mrrr," the white cat says, blinking. It leaps to its feet, slides, and falls off the bed, clutching at the covers with its claws. "Meow!"

You walk unsteadily over to the edge of the bed. "Meow?"

"Hss-psst," the white cat spits. "Meow."

You and Fay have been transformed into cats.

You'll need help getting out of this.

On a 7-9, you ENCOUNTER the Warden. Use her FAVOR to transform you back.

It takes a good long time for the two of you to work the door of your dormitory room open. You take your wand in your mouth. Fay does the same with hers. Two cats, each carrying a wand, are not likely to be mistaken for just cats.

You slink out of the dormitory together with Fay, find the Warden not in her office at this late hour, and sneak back in to the door of her chambers.

Several minutes of meowing and scratching at the door finally summons the Warden from her bed. She's wearing her brief dueling uniform, not her robes. She looks you over with a frown and makes a pass with her wand, then breaks out in laughter.

"Well, COME IN, you two," she says.

You and Fay take up your wands and walk past Barbara Torch as she holds the door open.

The Warden sits down at a little table and laughs again. "I declare," she says. "The two of you."

"Mrroww," you plead.

"Meeyah," Fay says.

"I'm tempted to leave the two of you like this for a day or two," the Warden says. She raises her broad brown hands to her face to stifle another laugh.

"Mreeeowwwww," you whine.

"All right, Morgan," the Warden tells you. "Step a little further apart. This is just because I like you, mind?"

The Warden spends a bit more time making you and Fay feel properly scolded, and then raises her wand and restores you to human form.

The Warden opens her door. "Now scat!" she says.

The two of you high-tail it back toward your dormitory room.

Naked.
