Viv ushered Juliet into her room, still making grand promises about what the potion could do for her courage. Juliet curiously glanced around the place, which resembled most of the ordinary student dorms, aside from an extension in the side of the room that resembled an ancient dungeon complete with piles of occult totems, jars of illegal magical ingredients and a shelf of burning black candles where the faint purple smoke rising from each candle curved around into the shape of a skull before vanishing.
    Viv wasn’t worried that Juliet would see her workshop, though, since she’d hidden the illegal addition behind the strongest magicks her witch instructors had taught her. Even teachers who wandered into her room saw nothing but an ordinary brick wall and didn’t spare it a second look.
    Except Juliet did stop and study the wall. Viv’s heart suddenly leapt into her throat, and her gnarled spruce wand leapt into her hand, ready to paralyze Juliet in an instant. Was Juliet’s magical perception higher than the teachers? Just how powerful was Juliet?
    Viv tossed her scarf into the corner of the room and stood there chewing her lip, wondering if she should chance a fight. Juliet breathed in deep and made a confused but pleased sound.
    “Is that… lavender candles?”
    Viv kept her wand held up a moment longer, before hastily tucking it into her belt. “Um, yeah, it is.”
    Juliet turned and smiled, the kind of relaxed smile you gave when you didn’t notice the witch’s dungeon hidden in the room. “Lavender’s my favorite. But where’s it coming from?”
    “It’s, uh, a special spell I put on the room. Makes it so my favorite candles always burning?”
    “That’s amazing,” Juliet said as she clapped her hands. “I’d definitely buy a home care spell like that. You could make a fortune.”
    Viv couldn’t help but laugh that Juliet bought such a bad lie. She really was too naive. Then again, the fact that she could even smell the candles from the hidden room meant that she was already a more powerful sorceress than the teaching staff. It made a nervous knot in Viv’s stomach to think what would happen if Juliet caught onto her, but it also only made Viv more eager to feed Juliet the potion and turn her evil. Evil and submissive to her will, of course.
    “The potion,” Viv announced, an eager smile on her face as she ran over to her desk. She put her back to Juliet and made a show of searching around for it. As she pretended to rummage through a drawer she slipped both vials out from her sleeve. One filled with gray, unimprinted psychic fluid, which she tucked into the back of the drawer for brewing the next dose of her potion. And the glowing crimson vial overflowing with her evil dream of power.
    It’s bright red glow flowed out over the room and Viv winced. She’d planned to put an enchantment on whatever drink she mixed it into so that it wouldn’t shine with an obvious evil radiance, but she’d been too eager. Deciding to chance it, the witch turned and held out the scarlet vial. “Here it is.”
    “Wow.” Juliet stepped in and slowly reached for it, clearly nervous. She took it delicately from Viv, and the second she had it in her hand Juliet shivered, a strange look passing over her face.
    “I, um, know it’s a little intimidating,” Viv said lamely. Juliet looked about ready to bolt, and she couldn’t let her plan fall apart when she was this close.
    “The glow is a bit much,” Juliet agreed, her face lit up in the scarlet light. Her eyes seemed to be staring into the vial, and Viv wondered if she could sense what the potion was really for. Juliet shook her head abruptly and said, “Not that it’s bad. It’s… really pretty, actually. And it’s like…”
    Juliet shivered again, but there was a smile forming on her plump lips.
    “I can feel how strong it wants to make me. Like it’s radiating confidence. It almost makes me feel as if I could conquer the world.”
    ‘That’s a perfect choice of words,’ Viv thought, pleased with herself. She couldn’t stop the evil grin from forming on her face, and had already thrown away the scarf so she wasn’t able to hide it, but luckily Juliet was still too entranced by the red light of the vial to notice. Viv wondered if Juliet’s words were just a coincidence, or if the potion was powerful enough to start putting thoughts into her head just from holding it.
    “So are you ready to try it?”
    Juliet made a startled sound and backed up, finally taking her eyes off the vial. She gave it another look, though this one was more hesitant. Almost like Juliet had forgotten that she actually needed to drink the potion. She uncorked the vial, but made no move to drink it.
    “Heh, I wish I had a courage potion to give me the courage to drink this one,” Juliet said, laughing at her own lame joke.
    Viv chuckled politely, but kept staring expectantly and said nothing.
    Juliet gulped, and finally raised the vial to her lips. “It’s fine if I… just try a little at first, right?”
    “It works stronger the more you drink, but you can start slow and see how it feels.”
    Juliet nodded, hardly looking comforted. Then, in a stiff motion, she brought it up to her mouth and drank a gulp of the potion. She quickly pulled it away and wiped her lips, her face scrunched up and waiting for some horrible taste to overwhelm her. Instead, Juliet opened her eyes in surprise. She relaxed and even smacked her lips together.
    “Huh. Tastes pretty good actually.”
    “That’s good, that’s good,” Viv said, stepping closer. “But what do you feel?”
    Staring down at herself, Juliet seemed to take stock of her body. “I guess I feel braver? I don’t really know. Maybe I didn’t take enough for it to-”
    Juliet stopped, her green eyes popping open wide. Her knees buckled and she let out a gasp as she wavered on her feet. Juliet caught herself on a bookshelf, and Viv noticed that, even as she was about to fall over, Juliet protectively clutched the glowing red vial to her chest.
    “Woah, head rush.” Juliet giggled, then let out a deep moan. “Mhm, fuck, I can feel it.” She suddenly clasped her hand to her mouth. “Did I just say…?”
    A wicked, triumphant grin spread on Vivian’s face.
    “I think you just cursed, Juliet Silverleaf.”
    Juliet gasped again. “I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to!”
    “Do you really think cursing is that bad?” Viv asked, amused. “You know it’s not like actual curses, right?”
    “I know that, but it’s still bad manners to do. Proper sorcerers shouldn’t curse.”
    “And who says that?”
    “Well…” Juliet fumbled for her words. “I guess sorcerers who don’t like cursing.”
    “Probably some stuffy old prudes in dusty robes who don’t know how to have fun.”
    Juliet looked about ready to scold her, but then started to laugh. “You know, they are pretty stuck in their ways. I mean, what the fuck’s so wrong with saying fuck?” Juliet winced, as if she expected some invisible hammer to come crashing down on her for using such language. When nothing happened she relaxed and even started giggling to herself.
    “Seems like the bravery potion is working if you’re brave enough to curse.” It wasn’t exactly the corruption to the dark side that Viv was hoping for, and yet it was progress, she supposed. And Juliet only had a sip, after all. If she could goad her into drinking the rest…
    “Fuck, I guess I am fucking brave enough. Fuck… Fuck!” Juliet broke into a peel of giggling laughter. “God, I must sound like a fucking idiot.”
    “It’s fine, enjoy yourself,” Viv said with an encouraging smile. “Maybe if you had another sip of the potion you’d be brave enough to say Cunt.”
    Juliet gasped and nearly dropped the vial. She caught it with both hands, and her gaze seemed to linger for a second on the churning, glowing potion in her hands. Then she turned her head up and gave Viv a challenging stare.
    “I can say… that.”
    “Oh, can you?”
    Juliet frowned. “Yes I can, you… you cunt.”
    Viv raised an eyebrow. “Did you really just call me a cunt?”
    “You heard me, cunt,” Juliet fired back. “What do you have to say to that?”
    “I’d call you a dirty skank.”
    Juliet leaned in, grinning. “You would know, slut.”
    “Bitch.”
    “Whore.”
    Both girls were grinning wide and suddenly broke into laughter. Then Juliet had to spoil it by frowning and meekly saying, “You know I don’t really think you’re a cunt, right?”
    Viv rolled her eyes. “Yes, you dumb slut. We’re just having fun.” Then Viv grinned and leaned back against her desk, arms folded over her chest. “Although for your information I do happen to be a cunt.”
    “Sure you are,” Juliet giggled. “Gods, why didn’t anyone tell me it’s so much fun to curse and shit?”
    “There’s loads of fun stuff that people want to tell you not to do. You just have to be brave enough to tell them to go fuck themselves and do it anyway.”
    Juliet stared down into the potion, her delighted smile framed in the glowing red light. “I bet there are. I really want to try more. I hope I can still curse like this when the potion wears off.”
    Viv chuckled to herself. Yes, this was a slow but promising start. Especially since Juliet didn’t realize the potion was permanent. Sure, she was just some girl cursing for the first time. If Viv cultivated her desires, though, Juliet could start to want so much more.
    “So how do you feel about Kalista?”
    Juliet glanced up from the vial, surprised. “Oh, right. This was about dealing with her.” She cocked her head, her short red hair bouncing with the motion. “You know, I have no problem at all telling her that I don’t want to be her girlfriend. How about that?”
    “That’s a given,” Viv replied, waving her hand impatiently. “What I meant was what do you think about that body of hers?”
    Juliet blushed and kept her mouth shut, then burst into a laugh. “Ooh, you dirty bitch. You know I’d be way too shy normally to talk about something as improper as that.”
    “You were-” she coughed, “Are, a repressed little prude. But what do you want to say now?”
    She bit her lip, then let out a loud groan. “By the gods, she’s got fantastic tits!”
    “Doesn’t she?”
    “Like, she had to be enchanted by a fairy godmother to have a body like that.” Juliet chuckled. “You have no idea how tempted I’ve been to grab her tits. And she practically throws herself at me all the time.”
    “She literally throws herself at you,” Vivian corrected her. “So why haven’t you copped a feel?”
    Juliet sighed. “Because I don’t want to date her. Yes, she’s gorgeous, but I just can’t have an actual conversation with her. I’d rather date someone I can have fun talking with, like this.” Suddenly she smiled and ran her eyes up and down Viv’s body. “You’re very cute, you know that, Vivian?”
    Viv gave a coy smile and quickly looked away. The witch obviously knew she was beautiful, but somehow hearing Juliet say it sent her heart racing. Viv clamped down on her emotions. She wasn’t here to flirt, but to corrupt. 
    “So about Kalista,” Viv said, her voice cracking, “Just because you’re not dating her doesn’t mean you can’t fool around. She obviously wants you, after all.”
    The humor fell away from Juliet’s face. “But… that would be wrong.” She tilted her head, confused. “Wouldn’t it? You should only… do stuff like that with someone you love. Right?”
    “Again, who says it has to be that way?” Viv started walking over to Juliet, putting a sway in her hips. The normal Juliet would have looked away from such an immodest walk, but this Juliet stared openly and appreciatively at Viv’s bouncing tits and swaying hips. “If you want something, and the other person wants to give it to you, you should just take it.”
    With Juliet entranced, Viv was easily able to plant her hand on Juliet’s stomach and push her down onto the bed. As she fell back Juliet put her thumb over the vial and protected the potion from spilling. Her fingers were caressing the side of the glowing vial, but her eyes were locked on Viv.
    “Who says you have to date? Or be proper? It’s fun to fuck someone, Juliet.”
    She saw Juliet bite her lip and cross her legs. Viv reached down and grabbed hold of Juliet’s knees. Then, before the other girl could react, Viv pushed her legs apart. Juliet gasped in surprise, her skirt riding up higher as Viv forced her legs open wider.
    “It’s fun to have fun with another person’s body. If you’ve got desires, you should feed them.” With a confident grin on her face, Viv took out her thin wand and pressed the tip of it to her lips. “So, do you have desires, Juliet?”
    Juliet nodded meekly, her face flushed red. “Y-yes.”
    “Like what?”
    “I- I can’t say that.”
    “Mhm, I’d love to hear. I bet you’ve got some dirty thoughts hidden away in your pretty head. Such fun, dirty thoughts.”
    Juliet shivered. “You think I’m pretty?”
    Viv rolled her eyes. Good girls always got hung up on the wrong thing.
    “I want to hear what your desires are, Juliet.”
    “I…” she gulped. “I can’t. It’s too shameful.” Juliet glanced down at her spread legs and whimpered, but made no move to try and get away. Viv noticed that her ass was grinding down against the bed a little.
    “If you drank some more of the potion, I bet you’d have the courage to tell me exactly what you want.”
    The other girl shivered and lifted the glowing vial up to her face, staring deeply.
    “And who knows,” Viv chuckled. “Maybe I’d be willing to do them.”
    Juliet writhed on the bed. “I- You wouldn’t want to do what I want.”
    Now that sounded promising.
    “Are you sure about that?”
    She nodded vigorously. “There’s no way.”
    “Then… maybe there’s a way you could make me want it.”
    Juliet gave her an odd look and sat up from the bed. “Make you?”
    “If you want something and the other person doesn’t, I mean. If there’s a way that you could make them want it too, then it wouldn’t be wrong to take it.”
    “But… No.” Juliet pulled her knees away from Viv’s hands and abruptly stood up from the bed. “No, manipulating people isn’t… that’s not the right thing to do.”
    Viv sighed, annoyed. She’d pushed her too far. Should have gotten her to drink more of the potion first, deepened those desires. If only she could…
    “I’m not saying to put a curse on the person and brainwash them,” Viv said, although that really was the most effective option. “I just mean convincing them that doing what you want is in their best interest too.”
    Juliet crossed her arms. “That still sounds like something a witch would do,” she scolded her.
    “What if I could prove it to you?”
    Now Juliet narrowed her eyes. “You want to change my mind?” Juliet finally seemed to notice that Viv’s wand was still in her hand. She started to slide her hand down to the wand in her own belt.
    Viv grumbled and tossed her wand onto the bed. She held up her empty hands, and Juliet seemed to relax. Just a little. 
    “Nothing too big. I just want…” She grinned. “For you to take your panties off.”
    Juliet gasped. “You-”
    “I’m really curious. And something tells me you kind of like the idea too.”
    At that, Juliet blushed. “That’s not important.”
    “See? You definitely feel a little hot and bothered at the thought of taking your panties off for me.” Viv chuckled as Juliet huffed angrily. “But it’s a situation of me wanting something, and you don’t. Or at least say you don’t. So I just need to convince you that taking your panties off for me is what you want to do.”
    “That’s not going to happen,” Juliet said confidently. “Sure, you’re hot and really fun to talk to, and fuck do you have nice lips that I want to kiss and-” Juliet cut herself off. “This fucking potion. Still, even if I’m a little braver, I still don’t like the idea of taking my panties off for a girl who’s not my girlfriend.”
    Viv smiled. There were all sorts of ways she could play this off. Transfix Juliet and puppeteer her into getting her panties off. Or entrance her to believe that she’s already her girlfriend, and that she’d be more than happy to strip. They’d be effective, but Juliet was on guard against curses and spells like that. Besides, she needed to get Juliet to drink more of the potion, which meant she couldn’t do anything to put Juliet on the defensive and make her more suspicious.
    So instead, Vivian rubbed her fingers together and began to cast a childish spell that most kids used on the playground as toddlers. As she expected, Juliet instantly sensed incoming magic and had her wand in hand, so fast that Viv didn’t even see her draw it. If she’d gone for a real spell then it would have crashed against the defensive barrier that Juliet effortlessly created around herself. The magical shield was strong enough to stop everything from a first to fifth level spell. Even Viv had to marvel at how effortlessly Juliet had created the effective barrier, and the witch had to admit that any spell she tried would have almost certainly bounced off the magic shield and rebounded back at her.
    Of course, since Viv only drew on the weakest form of magic, Juliet didn’t even think to tell her barrier to block something that insignificant.
    “I don’t care what you try,” Juliet announced defiantly, fire in her eyes. She looked every bit the hero who had defeated all sorts of evil priests and witches. “Nothing you use is going to- going to work- on me-me-eeeee!”
    Juliet abruptly broke into a laughing fit, doubling over with surprise on her face. She kept hold of the glowing vial but let her wand fall to the floor, and immediately the powerful barrier vanished. Juliet stared up at Viv, tears running down her eyes as she kept squirming and laughing.
    “Whaaaaat did you do to me!”
    “Feeling a little ticklish?” Viv chuckled.
    Juliet clutched at her crotch, still laughing uncontrollably. “It’s like someone’s tickling my-my-” She fell back into laughter, her hips squirming. “My ass!”
    “I put a tickling charm on your panties.”
    “What?” Juliet cried in disbelief. Then broke out laughing again.
    Viv chuckled and held her arms up in an exaggerated shrug. “If you want it to stop, you just need to get your panties off.”
    Still cackling with laughter Juliet tossed her a dirty look. She seemed ready to launch a hex at her. Instead, with an angry laughing growl, Juliet fished under her skirt with one hand and yanked her panties down to her ankles. Juliet immediately let out a relieved sigh, the giggles fading away. Then she let out a nervous laugh, glanced down at her panties still touching her ankles, and hastily kicked them away.
    “See?” Viv said with a pleased look. “Was that so hard?”
    Juliet glared at her. “You…” She was fuming, her hands shaking at her sides. “You… bitch!” Juliet stamped over to Viv, her wand floating up off the floor and back into her hand. “How dare you-”
    “How dare I what?” Viv replied, doing her best to sound casual and in control. In truth, she was getting ready to bolt out of the room and into her hidden chamber if Juliet fired off a spell at her. She was hoping Juliet would take it playfully, but apparently she still had a problem with it.
    Juliet shoved her shoulder. “You put a fucking tickling charm on my panties! And made me do something so-” Juliet growled and started pounding her hand on Viv’s chest, although Viv was surprised that there was almost no force to it. The anger in her voice even faded to just frustration. “And I couldn’t even stop myself! I’ve fought fucking dark lords and you still tricked me into taking off my panties!” Juliet glared into her face and pouted. “Why do I find that so fucking hot?”
    Viv relaxed. That’s the response she was hoping for. “See? I told you it’s kind of fun to take what you want. Especially when you know the other person wants it too.”
    Juliet continued to pout, but she nodded. “Fuck, that was just… really hot.”
    Still smiling, Viv wrapped her arms around Juliet’s waist. Juliet immediately went limp, blushing deeply as she let Viv pull her in close.
    “Besides, that works out for both of us.”
    “Oh? My humiliation did something for you?”
    “As a matter of fact, it turned me on a lot.” She winked, and Juliet looked away sheepishly, but there was a smile on her face. “It turns me on to be in charge. But I actually meant something else?”
    “Oh?” Juliet asked, voice quiet.
    Viv grinned and slid her hand under Juliet’s skirt. Her fingers found the other girl’s pussy soaked, and Juliet let out a surprised but happy moan as she was touched in such an intimate place. “Without your panties I get easier access to what I want.”
    Juliet clung to her tighter as Viv continued to run her fingers up and down her slick pussy lips. “Fuck,” was all she whimpered.
    “I’m betting no one’s touched you like this before?”
    “No.”
    “Do you like it?”
    Juliet nodded eagerly against Viv’s shoulder. “Yes.”
    “Do you want me to keep going?”
    “Fuck yes.”
    Viv suddenly pulled her hand away, then pushed Juliet lightly back down onto the bed. She landed on her ass and looked up with a hurt expression. “But I said I want more.”
    “You did say that,” Viv replied with a playful smile, “except why should we just settle for some fingering.” As Juliet watched in amazement, Viv dropped down to her knees before her. She placed her hands back on Juliet’s knees, and this time she hardly needed any force at all to spread the girl’s legs apart. When she flipped Juliet’s skirt up to reveal her dripping pussy, Juliet just shuddered with pleasure at being exposed.
    “Wh-what are you going to do?” Juliet asked, unable to keep the eagerness from her voice.
    The seductive witch made a show of licking her tongue along her lips, while staring meaningfully at Juliet’s pussy. “Would you like me to eat you out?”
    Juliet gulped. “Yes please.”
    Viv chuckled. “So that’s what you want?”
    “Yes, fuck yes.”
    “Say it.”
    Juliet was a little taken back by that. “What?”
    “Say what you want me to do.”
    Looking a little uncertain, Juliet said, “I want you to eat me out?”
    Viv slapped the inside of Juliet’s thigh lightly. “Say it like you mean it. Express what you want.”
    This time Juliet stared into Viv’s eyes with a new confidence. She bit her lip, then said, “I want you to eat my cunt.”
    Viv smiled, pleased, then abruptly turned her head away. “I refuse.”
    Juliet’s jaw dropped. “But… you said you would.”
    “I never said anything of the sort.”
    Juliet stared down at her bare, exposed pussy, then back at Viv. “But you stripped me! And you- you lifted my skirt and you… licked your lips.”
    “I don’t want to eat out your delicious looking cunt,” Viv said, then winked.
    “You clearly do!” Juliet protested.
    Viv lifted her hand up and inspected her nails, ignoring Juliet’s pouting expression. “It sounds like you want something, and I don’t. If only I’d given you some advice on this.”
    Juliet stiffened. Her fingers ran over the glowing, warm vial in one hand, and her wand in the other. “You want me to make you.”
    Viv shrugged. “You do whatever you want. And I won’t do what I don’t want to. Unless you having something you want to say about it.” She flicked her eyes over to Juliet.
    “But that’s… it’d be wrong.” Juliet whined in frustration, her cunt still dripping down her thighs. “Except, I know you want it. You do. So it wouldn’t really… be wrong, would it? And that’s… really hot, but…” She frowned. “But I don’t want to use you like that.”
    Viv gave her an innocent smile. “Are you sure about that?”
    Juliet stared back at her, and then a darker expression filled her eyes. Viv grinned. There it was, just like she’d hoped. Juliet was wondering if she really would enjoy manipulating someone, using them for her pleasure. Something that was almost surely evil. And considering the moan Juliet made and the way her cunt clenched with need, it seemed like a desire that she enjoyed.
    “I-” Juliet stared at Viv, conflict on her face. The hero of the academy was finally facing her own dark desires. If Viv could push her into giving in, then it’d be an undeniable victory for evil. Once she acknowledged that she wanted to control others, then she’d believe it was right to do if you had the power to bend others to your will. Then the potion would make Juliet see the truth, that Vivian should be the one in charge of her and all others.
    Viv dug her nails into her palms, waiting with anticipation to see what would happen.
    Then, with a look of absolute heartbreak, Juliet dropped her wand to the bad. “I can’t,” she muttered, shaking her head. “It’s just too wrong. Too… dark. I can’t do it.”
    The disappointment was clear on Viv’s face. Fuck, she’d been so close. Still, there would be other days. Vivian wondered what she could do next time to seduce Juliet, when a flash of bright red caught her attention.
    Viv glanced up to see Juliet shoving the vial to her lips, swallowing the rest of the potion in fast, desperate gulps. Her body convulsed in sheer pleasure as the glowing scarlet liquid slid down her throat. To Viv’s amazement Juliet’s body began to glow with red light, while darker scarlet veins crept down her arms and legs, branching out like bolts of dark lightning against her pale skin. In moments the dark energy faded, and Juliet relaxed, her body returning to normal. She sat up, panting, and smiled at the look of astonishment on Viv’s face. 
    “I just needed to be braver,” she explained easily. Then her eyes took on a darker light, as an evil grin crept over her face. A grin that Viv had only ever seen on herself before.
    Cautious, and almost in disbelief that it had worked, Viv asked, “How do you feel, Juliet?”
    “Fuck, do I feel amazing.” Juliet traced her fingers down to her cunt, spreading her lips and humming happily to herself from the touch. Vivian was willing to bet this was probably the first time the prude ever touched herself. After a few more seconds of luxurious masturbation, Juliet finally opened her eyes and grinned at Viv.
    “Now where were we,” Juliet purred, and Viv squirmed excitedly on her knees, her own panties drenched. She couldn’t wait to see what evil she’d just unleashed.
