Mapping the Fifth House? Fine I suppose.

"Mapping the Fifth House?" you reply to Peter Crisp. "Fine, I suppose. All cleaned out of anything like that nasty plant that attacked Dorothy. It's been weeks, months now since that night. Dorothy was working there during term break, supervising a great lot of mops, brooms, and shovels that Housemaster had enchanted to be her crew. Dorothy wouldn't have gone back if she was worried."

"Oh good," Peter says, looking more confident. He brushes a lock of red hair back from his eyes. "I never quite know what to read from Sharper, you know?"

You nod. Preston Sharper is hard for you to read, and you don't know whether the Tutor and Acting Warden has cultivated unreadability as a magical duellist, or if he's just a little blank as a person.

"Right. Well, let's see about what he wants, and what we're supposed to accomplish."

Dorothy had reported that her enchanted brooms and shovels had been confused in parts of the Fifth House, so you bring your little mapping team down to consult with her.

"With staff all at SIXES and SEVENS since Warden TORCH got put on LEAVE, it's no SURPRISE it's landed on YOU LOT," Dorothy booms, in her great brassy voice.

Andrew Saltire stares at Dorothy's shaggy red bush -- Boarbristle's half-giant Porter is nude below the navel as is her habit -- while Peter Crisp is careful to keep his eyes on the Porter's face as she explains. Marina is smiling at her sometime lover Dorothy, not at all cross for being put on restriction for fornication with Staff, while Rebecca looks abstracted, her eyes up in a "thinking hard" direction.

Dorothy continues. "FIRETAIL thinks it's an ENCHANTMENT hanging about. WHIPLASH thinks it got mapped wrong. EURYALE, she won't speak over WHIPLASH and well WARDRESS is a NO HURRY person ANYWAY. BURL says nothing for it but to go look, but WARDENS are all too busy with start of TERM so somehow it's landed on my FAVORITE new SCHOLARS."

You feel the glow of Dorothy's smile. Marina simpers. Rebecca and Peter blink. Andrew jerks his eyes up and echoes Dorothy's smile with a grin and nod. His kilts project in front with the evidence of his interest.

Favorites? Dorothy has reason to consider you and Marina her favorites, certainly, and has a big enough heart to include your other roommates.

"Y-you didn't have any trouble with magical creatures or plants or anything?" Rebecca Honeybee asks.

"NOT so's I could TELL."

You speak up. "Dorothy, do you think you could stay close, in case we get turned around?"

Dorothy laughs, a sound that makes your chest vibrate. "Just DON'T get STUCK in any TIGHT spaces."

You can't help but look at Dorothy's thick, protruding labia and feel a hot flush.

Marina laughs aloud. Rebecca gasps. Andrew and Peter stand silent. By now all of your roommates know the story of how Dorothy almost broke your neck on your very first day at Boarbristle, with a hip-bucking, roof-shaking orgasm. After you had thrust your head into her vagina when your forearm wasn't quite big enough.
