The Borden Remedial School of Magic--for students aged 18 and older--was mostly for magical people who hadn't focused during their lessons. Usually they were in their mid-20s.
But it was everything that 18-year-old Emily could have wished. As one of the few students who hadn't done magic before, the lithe Korean-American found new surprises around every corner. Here: a floating clock. There: an elevator made from flying carpets.
Her strict, traditional parents had been reluctant to let their daughter come to Borden, but after months of pleading they had grudgingly relented. Emily had never been happier.
She had been bunked in a double room with Dani. Blonde-haired, flirty and voluptuous, Dani had been born into magic. It was Dani's third year at Borden and she had been tasked with showing Emily around.
Emily was straight of course, but she couldn't help but appreciate how beautiful the woman was. Sometimes she snuck glances while Dani changed bras, before turning away, her skin prickling with the naughtiness of it. Dani's pendulous breasts were capped with pink nipples.
"So, have you ever been to a magical party," asked Dani one night, lounging on her bed in a robe.
"Like the midwinter dance?" asked Emily.
"Not quite," Dani said with a mischievous smile. "Put on a dress and I'll show you."
Emily had donned a thin green dress that hugged her tight tummy and small curves. It fell just above her knee--the top plunged just enough to hint at her pert B-cup breasts. Beneath this she wore a matching set of pink bra and panties. They were a little more revealing than she usually went out for, but Dani's mysteriousness made her feel adventurous.
Dani was similarly attired in a blue dress that plunged to show deep cleavage. Emily smiled guiltily at knowing what lay beneath it.

They arrived at the boy's dorm. Inside was a sea of people: sitting on couches, standing in clusters, drinking from cups, shooting sparks at each other playfully. It was still Emily's first month at Borden and she didn't recognize any of the other students. The atmosphere was much more relaxed than anything Emily had seen so far at the school.
Naturally shy, she was very nervous.
--
Fifteen minutes later, they had drinks in hand and were lounging by the corner. Two guys walked over, clearly checking out the girls. They introduced themselves as Mart and Brady. Dani flipped her hair while chatting them up. Emily was a little nervous so she swallowed and kept silent.
Eventually, one of the boys said: "So, are you girls up for a game of Flanges?"
"For...what?" asked Emily.
"Flanges is easy," said Dani, and went on to describe a card game that Emily couldn't follow. Midway through the description, she realized that they must use a different card deck than she was used to.
"Got that?" asked Dani. "The only thing we shouldn't do is get skunked. You don't want to know what happens then." She laughed, but Dani could tell she was serious.
Emily wasn't sure she understood, but she nodded her head.
--
They sat at the table and one of the boys dealt the cards. There were shapes and colors on the cards Emily didn't recognize. Everyone played a card and then looked at her, expectantly. She quickly played a card at random.
This went on for several rounds, and was proud that no one had admonished her for playing incorrectly. But she noticed that the boy, Mart, kept pulling the cards to himself after each round. Maybe he was winning those rounds?
A crowd gathered around the table. Emily could tell they were excited about something.
After several minutes of this, Dani leaned over nervously and said "Emily we need to win this round. Come on." Emily felt panicked but didn't want to admit she hadn't known what she was doing for the whole game. She made a choice, praying that they would win.
