Balthazar was in his lab doing interesting things; Erhard had an idea what those things might be considering Papa Duke was in there with him and the door was locked, not that ever stopped them in the past but it suited Erhard’s purpose just fine. Amur was in his room reading, again with the door locked.

Erhard thought that the therapist whose appointment was where Papa Brian and Warren were right now, might have found that interesting. It was amusing how this family did a lot behind locked doors. The den didn’t have a door lock unfortunately so he’d had to improvise. That small area rug just happened to get scrunched up in front of the door which would give him a few seconds to switch the disks in the event of someone trying to enter. He needed to make an informed decision as to which of the DVDs he wanted to take with him to school. The Papas wouldn’t notice one or three if they went missing ,but Elliot had pulled him aside last time he was home and stressed to him that he should take his time on which disks to take and to ‘know’ what it was he was filching. This was the third disk that Erhard was previewing, the other two were already secreted away safe. He slipped the DVD into the machine, figuring that there was at least an hour of time before anyone would disturb his viewing.

Eyes glued and one hand stroking while the other pinched, Erhard was past too much thought. He moaned with the familiars on the screen who were in the midst of playing. Two of them were licking and sucking on each others nipples while the third was suckling below but turned so the other two could pluck, pinch and stroke him. It was the fourth time that he’d watched and he knew that soon the familiar whose cock wasn’t getting any attention would fuck the snot out of one and then the other of his playmates.

Erhard gave a groan as the moans and yowls on the screen increased in volume. ‘This’ disk was definitely coming to school with him. The rattle of the knob and Papa Brian’s voice telling him to open the door right this minute had Erhard poofing into cat form in fright and hiding behind the chair. He watched in horror as the door was pushed slowly open against the drag of the rug with the continued moans and yowls in the background.

In his room later, after a thorough search and seizure of illicitly purloined DVDs, Erhard growled at his littermate through the door. Did today have to be the day that Warren had had to make a breakthrough in his 'Comfort Grooming Syndrome' and he could hear Papa Brian loudly insisting that all the viewing collection be spelled to ensure that ‘this doesn‘t occur again or at least not until after the kittens were away at school.’

Title: Asking for a Favor

“Warren? Can you do me a favor? Pleeeeeease.” Warren thought that Erhard had gotten himself into enough trouble already but he’d been his partner in crime since forever and had had the therapy to prove it.

Patiently applying colour to the ink drawing, “What do you want Erhard? Please not anything that Papa Brian is going to want to skin us over.”

Trying to look innocent, Erhard focused his eyes on his brother. “There’s this DVD...”

“That one?!” At his brother’s nod, sighing “Alright, I’ll draw the conjuring spell at school but if we get into trouble, I’m blaming you.”

The last words, well almost the last words cause I love you was the last, that Papa Brian said to Warren was to not let Erhard get him into trouble and that if anyone tried anything to think ‘what his fathers would do in those circumstances‘. Warren hid his smile at that under shiny eyed repressed tears; he was a big cat and big cats don’t cry for their daddies when being left off a school.. Much.

‘Papa Brian was right to warn him about not getting dragged into trouble.’ Erhard had said they were going to a nice quiet place to get a nip. It was as they entered the door after paying the entrance fees while showing, ’where did Erhard get fake IDs?!’, and the tantalizing smells hit him that he realized where his brother had brought him. The sign over the bar might have been a clue too, Kitty Catnip Emporium blazed in neon green light.

A hissed, “Erhard!” had only earned him a flash of a smile.

“Lighten up, bro. You need to experience life a little.” Erhard didn’t say it but it was implied, ‘and maybe get laid.’

Warren poofed into kitten form, loudly saying to one and all just how young he was. He was dying of embarrassment and ran out of the bar before they could pick him up by the scruff of his neck and toss him out. There’d been a few cat calls and some bats to his tail as he made for the door. A pissed off Erhard had followed soon after, also in kitten form, sitting down a short distance away and grooming himself. Warren felt a momentary vicious sense of satisfaction that Erhard finally knew how he felt because he was pretty sure that those bats he’d , and probably Erhard, experienced on the way out could be classified as minor, uninhibited, catnip induced, sexual assaults. ‘See therapy did help.’

Walking over to his brother, he gave him a nose touch and a head butting. ‘How about we go back to the dorms and chill.’ and watched as Erhard had brightened at the idea. Warren knew that he was remembering a certain DVD that Warren had, for him, conjured from home.

Two young kittens out scampering in the night are more than likely to cause doting smiles at the cute, if it were a blissfully ignorant human catching them at it. The person who confronted them coming onto school grounds, as they tumbled over each other in playing chase, was not ignorant of what they were. They were students who had been where they shouldn‘t be, for did they really think the catnip bar wouldn‘t call about some underage familiars, more than probably students of the school?

Hearing the stern voice calling, “Hold it right there,” Warren knew they were busted if he didn’t do something fast. Biting his brother quickly, he mumbled the spell to send him back to his room and waited just long enough to receive his brother’s ‘thanks’ back before running for a bush and starting his own sending conjuration. Except that that voice was not to be ignored he found, as he heard a geas being laid on him to appear at a certain office at a certain time tomorrow. As he popped into his own room, there was fear of what was going to happen to him tomorrow because one could not dispbey a geas but there was wonder too. “So that’s how a magical compulsion was done.”

Title: News in a Letter (Wizards World - Erhard)
Word count: 574

Along with a message from the school that two of their kittens had been caught out after hours, in town, in a catnip bar, Balthazar had opened a plain envelope with news that had the three fathers informing the school that they would be making a ‘visit’ and wanting to ‘see’ Erhard when they got there. The school’s message allayed their worries about Warren; it looked like he was being assigned a mentor from one of the senior professors; but Erhard’s problem was more serious than simple misconduct, though attempted underage imbibing of catnip had led many familiars into very bad circumstances.

One of the small conference rooms had been set aside for their ‘visit’, and the three parents had waited with one of the student services’ deans for their wayward kitten. Erhard had politely knocked on the door before entering, which rose eyebrows in more than one of his fathers. He’d come in and timidly placed a DVD on the table, gulping out an apology as he did so.

Duke was the one who’d pulled the disk towards him to read the title, “So that’s where that got to,” clicking a nail on the wood, “and the copy?” for he knew his kitten. It was a very cowed young familiar that told him where in his room the disk was hidden. It would have been cute and Balthazar had to remind himself of the real reason for their presence there, to hide his smile, but they were there for a much more serious matter.

“Erhard, we received a letter recently. It had to do with you and your erm activities since you came to school. I’m not talking about the catnip bar though we will be discussing that;” Balthazar watched as Erhard’s face took on a confused look, “this concerns something else and the letter should really have been addressed to you.”

He tossed the letter across the table to Erhard to read and observed as his child was made aware of his responsibilities or rather lack of past responsibilities, but the reaction was not what he expected. True there’d been a blanching but there was still confusion and then a bright red to white again.

It was at his father, Brian, that the confusion and a slight look of betrayal was directed. “You said..” Erhard stopped and his face bloomed again before his next words raced out, “yousaidthatapersoncouldn’tgetpregnantfromoralsex.”

The stunned silence in the room was pregnant with shock as the import of that statement was digested.

“May I read the letter please?” the dean asked holding out his hand and after doing so set it down on the table to turn to the parents. “Your family is always interesting to deal with,” he said with a smile. “It’s good that you came here to confront this matter before taking your own steps because it brings up the need, like with your older sons, for early intervention but also so that this fraudulent scam can be taken care of in the proper manner.”

Turning to Erhard, “I expect that, unless your parents take you out of school for this term today, that you will be in my office for a discussion tomorrow at,” his voice raised slightly in inquiry, “3 hours after the lunch bells.”. He rose with a nod to the three fathers and left the room, leaving the parents and child to settle any other needful things between themselves.

“You do realize how lucky you were this time, Erhard? This could have turned out very badly and if the kittens really had been yours…” Balthazar trailed off with a sigh watching his child for signs of comprehension.

Papa Duke didn’t let it drop, “They were threatening to sell the kittens to the highest bidder. Do you think we’d have let them do that with our grandchildren, and there ‘would’ have been interest,” he shuddered. “A lot of interest. We wouldn’t have known that they weren’t yours until sometime after their eyes were open and revealed they weren‘t familiar kittens at all.”

“But I didn’t do anything that would get anyone..,” Erhard blushed red, “I ’did’ pay attention to what Papa Brian told us about sex and where kittens came from.”

“Well I’m glad of that, at least,” proclaimed the Papa responsible for his kitten’s knowledge. “The authorities will broadcast that there’s a con game going around concerning familiar kittens and maybe they’ll even find the scam artist. We can only hope. Now about that disk copy…”

Erhard knew that he couldn’t have gotten off that easy; he was going to lose his beloved copy of Familiar Tits Gone Wild porn. Luckily there was a backup to the copy, he wasn't Papa Duke's kitten for nothing.

His fathers, wisely, were going to leave the moderating of his behavior up to his mentor, whoever that unlucky person was.

Title: The Management of Erhard (Wizard's World- Erhard)
Word count: 605

Erhard offered himself up at the office of Student Services exactly three hours after luncheon, where a note was presented to him by the Dean’s assistant for his meeting with his new mentor. The changes in his life had him expecting some nights when he fell asleep, that he would wake with a pillow soggy from his brains melted and drooling out of his ears, his head no longer able to retain everything. After he’d had a firm basic grounding in the first magic discipline, he had been shuttled back to the Student Services office to obtain another introductory note. The Dean had found the key to his chastity belt and had locked him up securely; Erhard had no time for a libido, not with his regular classes, and his tour of the various specializations of magic. He wasn’t bored though.

All of the disciplines he found interesting, and that was reflected in his summarizations of what he had learned. Those reviews were presented to both the mentor, with whom he had been recently studying, and the Stu.Serv. Dean. Unsure of the reason behind his bouncing from mentor to mentor, it wasn’t until a substitute secretarial assistant had pulled his file up and stepped into the Dean’s office for a moment that he discovered what might be an answer. How many cat familiars could be said to be able to resist taking a peek at what their authority figures thought of them? Erhard couldn’t.

The reports from his mentors were overall complementary, with comments that his faults would be outgrown with time and practice. Of course his mind faltered, questioning, ‘faults, what faults?! ‘Which’ faults?,’ but he was distracted by a bolded word in his file on the screen; an inserted tag: ‘Booster’. At that point the door rattled and the assistant found him leaning against the desk, back turned to where his record was open. The introduction to his newest mentor was thrust into his hand with a ruffling pat on his head and he was told to take himself off. Erhard added another task to his homework list; he needed to discover, ‘what was a Booster?’ It was a full nine days before he found his answers in his Basics of Magics textbook, which he painstakingly wrote out for consideration later.

Magic:

Magic is one part of that which we perceive as reality in our world. Unable to be discerned in the normal manner of the five senses; it is the imagined, the possible, and the improbable that yields to the capabilities and needs of the individual who possesses and commands it. 1

Booster:

Most of a Booster’s spells will come from the discipline of transmutation; a wizard who is a transmuter, will find they have a greater number of spells to access for use in increasing or boosting the natural strengths and abilities of those with whom they work. It is only the scope of the booster’s education in those spells that limits their abilities. This makes comprehensively trained boosters much desired as partners. 2


Transmutation:

Transmutation modifies energy and matter, whether to reform a thing or individual’s shape, or increase its capabilities or even how it is able to interact with the environment in which it exists. Anything can be modified. Transmuters have a need to interact with and change the world around them, they exist in an intense insatiable curiosity and show an enthusiastic desire to increase their knowledge.

The specialization of transmutation is the reverse of conjuration, modifying that which already exists instead of creating or summoning materials. 3


Looking over that which he’d written out, Erhard's mouth formed a small ‘O’. ‘So that’s what was happening. Awesome.’
