On a 7-9, gain +1 XP and Deal with Nan

"Once again, Poesy. Deflect them all," Ciaran says. At least you think that's his name. The senior student from House Leontes was brisk and brusque and got you straight to work.

With his wand out, Ciaran starts a sequence of spells. STUN, then DISARM, then FETCH. Each time, you deflect the spell. FETCH goes back toward Ciaran and tugs on his wand before he shakes it off. You hear a shriek and a clatter out in the corridor.

"Very good, Poesy, that will be all," Ciaran says. "Next time try not to get caught by your own spell."

Like you almost just did, you think.

Ciaran bustles off to do whatever senior students do.

You tuck your wand in its case. You sense eyes looking at you.

"Poe-sy?" you hear. "Where have you been hiding?"

Nan, the redheaded witch who deflected your CHARM and caused you to be sent to this extra lesson, stands in the door.

"Whatever you're doing, it can't be that important," Nan says. "Come with me."

Gain +1 XP. You have 4 XP.
You are in intersex form trending female.
Nan is your HANGER-ON; you've promised to join her secret worshippers of the Great Mother of Desire.

Choose one and roll AMBITION-1 (-2) (-1 Ambition, -1 Hanger-On) to Deal with Nan:

• APPEASE YOUR HANGER-ON -- spend time with Nan, do something she wants to do, bring her with you.
• PUT OFF YOUR HANGER-ON -- tell her 'not now'.
• DISCOURAGE YOUR HANGER-ON -- tell her to stop hanging around and bothering you, you don't like her that well.
