What is Dovesso?

"What is'Dovesso'?" Leonora Lesso, the Dean of the School for Evil, asked Sophie and Agatha as they sat in their office. They had caught the two hanging up a poster in the main hall that read "Now taking bets on when Dovesso will get together." The two hadn't said a word since. Leonora sat in their chair and looked at the two girls. "And why are you taking bets?"

 

"Well you see," Agatha started, looking towards Sophie for some help. However, Sophie was slinking back in her seat and trying to avoid eye contact. Sophie subconsciously put her hands on her head to protect her hair. "Dovesso is a portmanteau of your last name and that of, um... Professor Dovey's."

 

"I see," Leonora said, smiling at the mention of the other Dean, before quickly putting their game face back on. "But that doesn't answer my other question."

 

"I mean it is obvious that you two have the hots for each other," Sophie said without thinking.

 

"What.. No... That is absurd." Leonora said, blushing furiously. Suddenly, there is a knock at the door. "Come in," Leonora says, and Clarissa Dovey walks into the room. "Oh it's you. Better late than never, Princess."

 

"I told you to stop calling me that, Nora." Clarissa said, trying to hide her blush but failing. "I apologize for whatever Agatha did and I assure you she will be properly punished."

 

"She is all yours," Leonora said, taking a chance to look Clarissa up and down. Dovey was wearing a beautiful golden dress that highlighted her best features and made her look like an angel to Leonora. Her makeup and hair were done perfectly and Leonora could smell her perfume, with the sent of heavenly apples invading their nostrils. Leonora was for a moment distracted by Clarissa's chest as it moved to the rhythm of her breathing, before a cough made them look back up to Clarissa's beautiful eyes. "Thanks for the help my Dove."

 

"Well, I will see you tonight at dinner, Nora." Dovey said, once again blushing. "Come along, Agatha."

 

Leonora watches the two leave, their eyes glued to Clarissa's swaying backside. Leonora turned back to Sophie and asked, "Is it that obvious that I like her?"

 

"Only to people with eyes?" Sophie responded.

 

"Well. Thanks." Leonora said after a few moments of thinking. "I think it is time I finally ask Clarissa out."

 

"Cool. Does that mean I am not in trouble?" Sophie asked.

 

Leonora laughed and said, "Oh no. You are still in huge trouble."
