In a land far away and a time long ago there was a magnificent castle deep, deep in the forests. Forests no man dared tread. This was no ordinary castle. This was a castle for witches and wizards. It was an educational system to teach them how to take full advantage and control their unusual powers. The school was called Mykew School of Sorcery.
Mark Allen was a humble but great wizard. Unbeknownst to him, he had saved the entire society from evil as a child, something he had no knowledge of. He was known throughout the land as a hero. His best friend, Don Brooks, was a redheaded misfit from one of the poorest families in the land and a fierce friend. He had three older brothers and one younger sister, Jenny. The third "musketeer" of the inseperable trio was Morgan Campsbell. She was somewhat of an oddity, another misfit. Her parents had no magical powers. She could be snobbish or dismissive, but once you became her friend, she would defend you to the death. And she was one of the most brilliant witches of her time.
The threesome had many incredible adventures during their time at Mykew, saving the school, and the sorcery community in general, time and time again.
After they graduated from Mykew, 19-year-old Don, Morgan, and Mark had all decided to pursue their graduate degrees in wizardry and witchcraft at Mykew. Jenny and the rest of the undergraduates that were also involved in their various past adventures, were all 18-year-old seniors at Mykew now. It was well established by now that Mark and Jenny were a couple, as were Don and Morgan, which baffled many.
Mark was sitting in the Whistling Kettle, a pub in Mundungus, a town many from Mykew visited, waiting for Don and Morgan to arrive when Jerry and Larry Brooks abruptly sat down across from him. Larry and Jerry were twins and Jenny's older brothers. They were so alike their own mother couldn't tell them apart. They were so in tune with each other they could finish each other's sentences. They were also well-known pranksters.
"Hello, Mark!" they said in unison.
"Larry! Jerry! What are you doing here?" asked a startled Mark.
"We were thirsty!"
"Yeah! And we saw you sitting here in a corner and thought, 'Looks like Mark could use some company!'"
"So here we are!"
"Yeah, well, thanks, guys. But Don and Morgan will be here soon, so..."
Jerry and Larry looked at each other and smiled.
"So, Mark, would you be interested in making a wizard's wager?"
"A wizard's wager?"
"Yeah, you know."
"We agree on the wager. If we're wrong, you pick the punishment we get."
"But...if we win the wager, we choose your punishment."
Mark's interest was piqued. "What's the wager?"
"When your guests arrive..." Jerry and Larry proceeded to describe the wager. It was quite simple, really.
Once Mark heard the wager, he thought
There's no way!
He was already plotting their punishment. "Sure! I'll take that wager."
"Hold out your arm."
The three gripped hands. Mark felt heat run up his arm and settle in his chest.
They tricked me!
"What...what was that I felt running up my arm?!"
"That's the wizard's wager bond."
"That way we all know if the punishment has been completed."
"Once the punishment is done, that goes away."
Just then, Don and Morgan walked up to the table. Morgan wrinkled her nose. Although they were Don's flesh and blood, she didn't care for his brothers and their nonsense.
"Hello, Mark. What are you doing here with these two miscreants?" Morgan asked snippily.
Jerry and Larry smiled and high-fived each other. Mark bowed his head and rubbed his forehead. The wager was Morgan would refer to them as delinquents or - miscreants.
"No worries, Morgan," Jerry said gleefully.
"We were just leaving."
"Mark, come to the store when you're done here."
"Yeah. We need to have a chat," Larry said with a wide smile before the two brothers left.
"What was that all about?" Morgan asked with disdain. "Probably nothing good if those two delinquents are involved." She looked at Don. "Sorry, Don."
"No worries. It's true."
She used both delinquent and miscreant! How could I be so stupid?!
"Let's just eat and get out of here."
*****
Once they were done with their lunch - which Mark had trouble enjoying - Don and Morgan went back to Mykew while Mark headed for Jerry and Larry's store, Brooks' Bamboozlers Bookstore, where he was cheerily greeted by the twins shortly after entering. They lead him to the back of the store and into their unsurprisingly messy office.
"Alright. Let's get this over with," Mark said with an annoyed tone.
Jerry and Larry smiled at each other.
"Pop Morgan's anal cherry," they said in unison.
Mark's jaw dropped. "What?!"
"You know. Bum her."
"Get to fifth base."
"Ream her."
"My favorite for Morgan - practice the Greek arts."
"Ooooo, that's a good one!"
They saw the stunned look on Mark's face. Time for the coup de grace.
"Ass fuck her," they sang in chorus.
Mark was expecting something like leaving a Ton Tongue Toffee for Damien or Boardman or slipping some Canary Cream into Jenny's pumpkin juice. But this...
"You can't be serious!"
"Oh, we are."
"Serious as a snail filled tart, mate."
"You're completely mental!" He paused. "How do you know she hasn't, you know, done it before? I can't 'pop her anal cherry' if she's done it before. Then there's no purpose for this insane exercise of yours."
"Oh, she's never been ass fucked before."
"We asked Don."
"He said she won't even let him go near her back door."
"She threatened him with the Crucible Curse if he did."
"We thought that was a bit harsh, but..."
"How exactly do you think I can possibly accomplish this?"
"Figure it out."
"You are 'the chosen one', after all."
"You've got 72 hours to accomplish the task."
"Or suffer the consequences."
"Now, run along. We have a thriving business to attend to."
"Good luck!"
Mark stumbled through the rest of the day. He tossed and turned in bed that night. He had thought about getting in Morgan's pants for years, to be sure. But he never intended to follow through on those urges, let alone formulate a plan.
He couldn't possibly cast a spell. For one, Morgan was much better at casting spells than he was. Secondly, her spell would be far worse than anything the Brooks' have in store for him. He couldn't just sneak into the girls bedrooms of Belby house. If it detected a male attempting to get there, the stairs began to shift. The walls rejected any male that tried to apparate into the room, with unfortunate consequences.
The next day he stared out from the balcony of his bedroom forlornly. He'd wasted 24 hours already, and he was no closer to accomplishing the task than he was when he started. He gazed at the tower of the female dormitory. He looked across at the grounds to the Bludger field off in the distance. Then it hit him.
My broom! I can fly in!
He wasn't sure if anyone had tried it before. He couldn't recall ever hearing about such an attempt. Either no one had ever tried it, or were successful and no one found out about it, or tried it and failed and were never heard from again. It was worth a shot.
Now that he had figured that part out, he had to figure out a way to allow Morgan to perform the act. She certainly wouldn't give it up voluntarily. He could perform an Attenuate spell. That would freeze her in place, but she would still be aware of what was going on. Then he could perform an Eradicate spell to erase any memory of the event, but if that went wrong, the consequences would be catastrophic. What if he could put her into a deep, deep sleep?
He went to the potions master that afternoon and told him that he'd been having trouble sleeping. The potions master was most happy to give him a vial of sleeping powder, cautioning him to be wary of the amount he used. If he used too much, the roar of a Gringott's Dragon wouldn't wake him. That night, he tried it on Don after he had fallen asleep. After breathing it in, Mark poked, prodded, and punched his friend. He slept through it all.
Brilliant!
Mark was anxious the entire next day. He'd lost 48 hours. It was tonight or never. He couldn't look Morgan in the eye knowing what he had in store for her. While, at the same time, he was excited at the prospect of finally having his way with her.
That night, Mark studied his Raider's Map, a magical map that showed anything moving within the castle. Filth the janitor and his cat wandered the halls. But Mark was far more interested in a certain bedroom. Finally, after midnight, the dots in Morgan's bedroom became still.
Mark donned his invisibility cloak and snuck out the Belby common room, through the halls, and across the courtyard until he reached the broom shed on the far side of the grounds.
He had never ridden his broom while wearing his cloak. It was quite an effort trying to keep it on while guiding his broom at the same time. He wondered what it must look like from the ground. The thought amused him.
He finally swooped up next to the window of Morgan's bedroom. He peered in. A single candle was lit. There was no movement. He pointed his wand at the window and whispered, "Alohomora." The lock on the window flicked and the window slowly creaked open.
He stealthily climbed over the window sill and slunk across the floor until he was standing next to Morgan's bed, still wearing his cloak.
The candle on her nightstand was still lit, casting a light yellow glow over her prone body. Two books and a scroll were on the bed next to her. He surmised she had fallen asleep while studying for a test the next day or looking for a new spell to cast on an unsuspecting soul.
