August 31st,
the Burrow
Harry port keyed into the backyard of the Burrow and stashed
his unconscious passenger in the trunk he had left in Arthur’s shed, before
pacing around swearing to himself.
“Shit! Shit! Shit! Now what the bloody hell do I do?”
his head. “Damn it, Potter, when things go pie-eyed, you don’t mess
around. Better go get Arthur, he needs
to know about this.”
“I hope he’s back by now; he was taking Ron for his birthday
present tonight. If this hadn’t gotten
so messed up, I’d be eager to see how he enjoyed himself.”
Going inside, Harry was happy to see Arthur was home
already, and everybody else had already gone upstairs for the evening, leaving him
sitting in the living room reading.
Looking up, he smiled when he saw Harry, but the smile faded when he
took in the look on his son’s face.
“What happened? Did
something go wrong?”
“Not wrong exactly, the plan worked just as expected, but, a
monkey wrench got tossed in at the last minute.
Come on out the shed, it’s easier to show you than explain it.”
Walking out to the shed, Harry turned on the lights and
flipped open the lid of the trunk.
“What the fuck?!?”
“That was my basic reaction as well.
out, this is Trixie Black, just graduated student of Hogwarts.
Rodolphus, a spell that he had on her was broken, and she reverted to the age
and condition she was when the spell was first cast.

seems to think I’m James Potter, and she asked me if I was going to play with
her and Sirius again. I think that she
and I need to have a bit of a discussion when I get her back to Hogwarts.”
“Are you still planning to take her to your hiding
place? I thought that was just so
Neville could punish her.”
“I don’t see any alternative; at least for now.
confronting her, even if she doesn’t have any memory of what she did for the
last 16 years or so. Maybe after things
calm down, and Neville goes on her, you can find something for her to do in the
Club. Speaking of that, did you really
expect me to believe there was an enchantment on the room you put Hermione and
me in? I’m sensitive enough to magic
that I would have noticed a spell affecting me, especially when I was expecting
it. Granted, Hermione and I both enjoyed
the results, but, please don’t try and trick me again, okay?”
Arthur backed down from the fire in Harry’s eyes.
far Hermione would go for you. You have
to understand that, at the time of your birthday, I didn’t realize the
commitment between the two of you, and, considering that we’ve had to discuss
maintaining your cover, I wanted to make sure we were protected.”
Harry considers this for a few minutes, then nods; “Okay, I
understand. I don’t like it, but I do
understand. In the future, it might just
be easier to ask me, don’t you agree?”
“Fair enough, but, I hope you will keep in mind what we’ve
discussed as well.”
“Arthur, Dad, the only time I’ve broken cover, is when
Narcissa drugged me, and, if I’d been aware of the charm, that wouldn’t have
happened. Any other time, I knew exactly
what I was doing, and kept our secrets.
Although Hermione figured it out on her own, and I got her magical oath
on it.”
“Well, I think we both know where we stand, and, it’s
getting late. I’ll trust your judgment
on this one, Harry, and I’ll be thinking about the possibilities for using her
at the Club.”
___________________
September 1st
Arthur helped Harry load his new trunk into the boot of the
car. Speaking quietly, he said; “Are
you sure she’s going to stay unconscious until you get her to your hiding place?”
“Absolutely; she’s in an Enchanted Sleep right now, and
won’t wake up until I want her to.
And, by that point, she’ll be in her new prison.”
“Good, and does Hermione know about it?”
“Yeah, who do you think helped me find the spell itself?”
“How does she feel about the physical changes in your
prisoner?
“Actually, she doesn’t have any problem with it.
Harry smirked, “and she wants Neville to get his closure as well.
as a 17 year old, she practically started to drool.”
“Fine, now, remember to mask her signature, because you know
that the Dementors and the Aurors will be out in force trying to get her back.”
“Actually, that’s not an issue; once LeStrange died, his
spell was broken, and her magical signature reverted back to what it was at 17,
before it was poisoned by the Dark Mark, and the Unforgivables that she
cast. I checked it before I took her
from Azkaban, and, she could be standing next to a Dementor, and it wouldn’t pay
any attention to her. As for the Aurors;
well, she’s going to be hidden for quite a while, and, after that, it’s amazing
what muggle hair die and make up can do.
Besides, I think that killing
Lucius and LeStrange are going to be keeping the Aurors busy for quiet a while,
especially since it wasn’t magic that killed them, well, it wasn’t a spell that
killed them, anyway.” Harry finished with a smile, remembering the look on
Lucius face when Harry’s strengthened fist punched right through his chest,
crushing his heart.
Arthur nodded as he went back to the Burrow for a last
minute check of belongings.
After making sure that nothing had been forgotten, and that
they still had plenty of time to make the Express; Arthur called Harry, Ron,
Ginny, Percy and the twins over to him.
Handing each of them a crystal, he said;
“I have a feeling you are going to need to spend some
uninterrupted time this year, and it would be easier to do that if you can’t be
tracked. These crystals, once activated,
will send out your magical signature if any meddling Headmaster, or anybody
else for that matter, scans for it. It
also has the advantage of muting your physical magical signature so you don’t
seem to be in two places at once.”
After showing them how to activate and deactivate the
crystals, he pulled out 2 more which he gave to Harry, and one more to
Ginny. “For Hermione, Neville and Luna,
Hermione is already on board with our family and your plans, Neville will be
soon, and, Luna just seems to know things, so it would be easier to be ready
for her.”

Hogwarts Express
“Harry? Have you heard the news?” Neville asked as he
slipped into their compartment. Harry
nodded before quickly casting a silencing charm on the doors and windows.
“Don’t worry about it, Neville.
explain everything when the time is right.
Let’s just say that the Newspaper got it very wrong.”
“Okay, mate, if you’re sure,” Neville said, relaxing into an
open seat. Taking a look around, he saw
that he Harry and Hermione were the only ones in the compartment.
“Where’s everybody else?”
“Ron and Susan are with Hannah in her compartment, and Ginny
and Luna are trying to hunt down the snack cart woman.
one of the Chocolate Frog packs is calling to her, and Luna wants to find out
what she wants.” Harry finished with a shrug, as he removed the silencing
charms from the doors and windows.
Neville and Harry were settling in for a game of Exploding
Snap when the door slid open and Katie walked in.
on Neville’s lap and kissed him, before turning and greeting the other two.
“Hey guys, good to see you again.
“Busy but fun, how was yours Katie?” Hermione smiled.
“About the same,
and I got to work on a few Quidditch moves; so I’m sure he’ll do great at the
tryouts. You are going to try out as
one of the Chasers, aren’t you
Neville wrapped his arms around his girlfriend, and said,
“Of course, I told you I would last Spring, and I’m looking forward to it.”
The conversation didn’t get too much farther before Luna and
Ginny burst into the compartment. Luna
was agitated, and Ginny was trying to calm her down.
“Harry; I was right! There was a message for me.
he will try to harm what you hold dear!”
Katie looks up, puzzled, “White Ferret? What does a rodent
have to do with anything?”
“Actually, I think she may be referring to one of our
classmates, think about it, who in our class actually looks like a Ferret, and
also recently lost his father?”
“You don’t seem too surprised” Katie said, as she realized
who Harry was referring to.
“I’m not. He’s been
getting progressively worse since first year, and, with the way the Headmaster
has been letting him get away with things, it’s only been a matter of time
before he stopped being an annoyance, and tried to be dangerous.”
Any further discussion was interrupted by the door of their
compartment slamming open, and Draco Malfoy, flanked by Crabbe, and, for a
change, Ted Nott, were standing there. Draco
had his wand clutched in a trembling hand, and he said; “Potter! I don’t know
how you and the mudblood did it, but, I know you were responsible for killing
my father! You’re going to pay, and pay dearly!”
Before any of them could even begin to respond, he was
pulled away from the door, and his goons followed along.
stuck his head in the door, and said, “Sorry about that, he’s been going on
about you two since he got on the express, and they somehow managed to get away
from the prefect we had watching him.”
With that, he turned and walked back down the aisle way.
“Okay, that was strange;” Harry said.
Draco’s behavior, let alone try to make him behave?”
“Good question; but, it’s possible the other years are just
as disgusted with him as we are,” Hermione suggested.
I’ve met garden gnomes more cunning than him.
The others are probably sick of him giving the house a bad name.”
“Makes sense and, honestly, anything that serves to keep that
idiot out of our hair is a good thing, as far as I’m concerned.” Neville added,
and Katie nodded in agreement.

That Night, the
Chamber of Secrets
Harry and Hermione entered the Chamber, and Hermione carried
Harry’s shrunken trunk over to one of the rooms set up for habitation while
Harry went to pay his respects to Stegron.
A short while later, he joined her in Bella’s new room. Transfiguring
the cot and blanket into a comfortable bed and quilt, they enlarged the trunk
and lifted Bella out, and set her on the bed.
“It’s hard to believe she’s still alive, it looks like she’s
dead.”
“I know Hermione, but, you found the spell, remember?”
“Well, anyway, we need to figure out what we’re going to do
with her, and how we’re going to let Neville know.”
“Well, before we tell Neville anything, we need to make sure
he is trained in Occulmency. After that,
let’s just take it one thing at a time, we can keep her asleep as long as we
need to, so we can make sure everything is set up before we wake her.”
“Okay, now, it’s been a long day, let’s get back to the
tower. We’re too tired to think
coherently tonight.”

the school.

is the fact that they have somebody hidden somewhere in the school
I think that it would
be worthwhile to get a bit closer to him.
I know, from Potions last year that he is approachable, especially now
that I have cut ties to the puppet. And
Potions; that may be the route to take.
I’ll have to see if he is continuing the exercise program from last
year.
If his other half is
with him, and I expect she will be, I’ll have to see if Parkinson wants to
continue her exercise program as well.
I’ve seen her checking Granger out, and, she’s ambitious enough to want
to get close to the Boy Who Lived; it would make it easier for her to achieve
her goals.
The puppet and his

Hermione.
Pansy was sitting in History of Magic and found her mind
wandering one afternoon early in the term.
She pictured herself in a brightly lit room; and looking down, she was
wearing nothing but her skin. Strangely,
this didn’t bother her in the slightest, especially since Hermione was standing
in front of her, dressed the same way.
Pansy’s eyes closed as Hermione leaned in and started kissing her.

Meanwhile, Hermione moved to straddle Pansy’s face, and, Pansy, knowing
what would please her; opened her mouth, and prepared to worship.

Hermione, for her part, was bemused by the attention that
the pureblood princess was paying her. As
she told Harry one evening, she wasn’t sure if Pansy was flirting with her, or
just working her own game. Harry
suggested that if she wanted to, to flirt back, and see what happens.
own, it won’t hurt to have a friendly contact in another house, he said.
The Quidditch Tryouts were held, and Ginny, Neville and Ron all
made the House Reserve Team, Ginny as Seeker, Neville as Chaser, and Ron as
Keeper. Katie was thrilled when her
boyfriend made the team, and quickly pulled him aside for a ‘private’ celebration.
In addition to her course work, Hermione found herself
spending time in the Library trying to find some way of helping Bella; no;
Trixie; when they get her out of the Chamber.
They had woken her the first weekend of school; and; after an initial
period of shock, Trixie started to understand what they were telling her.

the night Harry took her from Azkaban.
that her own family had conspired to enslave her to Rodolphus LeStrange; and
that he had made her hurt people, and, even more that her sister wouldn’t help
her. Harry explained that Narcissa was
in a similar situation, having been forced into a marriage with Lucius
Malfoy. This, at least, made her feel a
bit better. Harry and Hermione didn’t
spend a lot of time telling Trixie specifics of what Bellatrix had done; she
was upset enough at the general idea that she had hurt people.

to wake her again until they found some way to help her legally.
to the conclusion that, if there was help to be found, they would have to get
outside help. After discussing it with
Harry, they decided to bring up the subject with Narcissa; after getting her
oath of silence of course. They decided
it would be better to wait until after they had a chance to let Neville know
about Trixie before they talk to Narcissa.
Harry’s assumption was correct in that it wasn’t any problem
for Sirius to bring Narcissa in once a week for private tutoring with him and
Hermione. The only difficulty was in making sure she was undetected by Draco
and his sycophants. They both enjoyed
the lessons, not only the ones in Pureblood etiquette and traditions, but, the deeper
lessons in the personalities and alliances of the Wizarding World.
alliances between the Potters and the Parkinson Families; as well as with the
Goyle Family; along with the expected ties to families considered ‘light’ like
the Weasleys (he smothered a smirk), the Prewetts, the Boneses and a few
others. He and Hermione were both
intrigued by the mention of ‘pets’ that Narcissa touched on; she wouldn’t give
any details, saying it was a subject for a future lesson, but, she did make it
clear that she wasn’t talking about cats and owls.
There was a great deal of excitement in the beginning of
October, when the Headmaster announced at breakfast one morning that there
would be a Dueling Club formed, under the supervision of Professor
Flitwick. A couple of the younger years
were curious about the choice, until they were told of his status as a Dueling
Champion.
It was at the same breakfast when Harry, doing a casual scan
of Neville’s mind, found himself rebuffed by the shields.

She asked if he wanted her with him, but he declined, saying it would be
easier if it was just the two of them, since they both lost their parents to
Voldemort and his clowns.

“Hey
I talk to you for a minute?” Harry asked, as he and Hermione came into through
the painting.
“Sure Harry, what’s up?”
Speaking quietly, he said; “Do you have your crystal?” When
Neville nodded, Harry asked him to hand it to Hermione, and he handed his to
her as well. “As soon as we leave, please activate them, okay?”
“Sure, Harry, I see you when you get back.”
“Walk with me a bit; I’ve got something to show you.” Harry
said, as he led them out of the Tower.
They walked quietly until they reached the men’s room outside the Great
Hall. Harry looked Neville in the eyes
and said; “Do you trust me
Neville looked offended, and said; “What kind of question is
that, Harry? You know I do!”
Harry nodded, and said; “I know you do;

turned to Harry and said; “Okay; I’ll bite; who is this?
a girl that looked like her!”
“Well, you haven’t seen her looking like this; but, this is
Bellatrix Black. I took her from
Azkaban; and; after taking care of her husband and Malfoy, I found her looking
like this. I did a quick check of her

Imperius Curse. She literally has no
memory of anything between arriving home after graduating in 1977 and the end
of August, this year. If you’ll notice, she
doesn’t have the Dark Mark, and it doesn’t look like it was ever on her arm.”
Neville backed up; shaking his head, “No, no! It can’t
be! I’ve hated her for as long as I’ve
known what hate was. But, you’re telling
me that the woman who destroyed my parents, my family, wasn’t responsible for
what she did?”
“Yeah,
that’s what it looks like. I had no idea
about her when I went to the prison; but I couldn’t leave her there.

Taking a deep breath; Neville calmed down and said; “Have
you figured out who was pulling her strings?”
“Not directly; but, indirectly, it all flows back up to
Lucius Malfoy, and through him, to Voldemort.
It was either on his orders, or because of him, that both you and I lost

A couple of weeks
later
The October air was brisk as Hermione, Susan and Luna sat in
the stands at the Quidditch Pitch watching their boy and girlfriends
practice. Hermione was enjoying the
sight of Harry flying; the sheer joy on his face was a pleasure to behold.
displayed on a broom, and remembered how scared he was the first time he
flew.
Thoughts of Neville led, inevitably to Trixie, and relief
that Neville was willing to accept the situation calmly.
Neville would still want to torture Trixie for what Bellatrix had done.
Neville needed some sort of closure with the person who tortured his family.
difference between somebody being compelled to act, and someone who acted of
their own free will.
Shaking her head, Hermione pulled her attention back to the
pitch. As she did so, a figure standing
off to the side caught her eye. Looking
closely, she recognized Cho Chang, the 4th Year Ravenclaw
Seeker. It’s not uncommon for other teams’
players to watch their opponents, and Hermione almost ignored her, except for
the fact that Chang had an unusual expression on her face as she watched
Harry. It was an expression Hermione had
seen before, usually on Lavender or Parvati when they were about ready to lose
their minds from her teasing, it was Hunger.
“Oh, no, you are not getting your claws on my man, Miss
Chang!” She muttered to herself as she got up from her seat.
muffled comment from Luna, she made her way to the edge of the bleachers and
over to where Cho was standing.
Cho was so engrossed in watching Harry that she didn’t even
notice Hermione standing right behind her until she spoke. “He is amazing,
isn’t he?”
Cho jerked and turned around quickly, “What?”
“I said, ‘He is amazing, isn’t he?’
your legs around his waist to pay attention to what’s going on around you?
“I was just observing him, I’m new to the team, and I wanted
to see how he plays.” Cho said, with the
flush in her cheeks putting the lie to her statement.
“Sure, keep telling yourself that, and, if that’s all it is,
then fine. But, if you have designs
other than that, you and I will need to have a serious discussion.”
friends, who, she noticed, were watching with interest.
Cho stood there, watching as Hermione joined her friends,
before quickly heading back inside.
Susan looked at her as she sat down, “So, what the hell was
that all about? I thought the claws were
about to come out.”
“Oh, I was just letting Miss Chang know that a claim has
already been laid, and quite well;” she smirked; “on the object of her
interest. And, just to mess with her
mind, I told her that, if she had any ideas of encroaching, that she and I
would have a serious discussion.”
Luna entered the discussion, and said, “I think you are
going to have a discussion with her, I got a feeling that the three of you are
going to be spending time together in the future, and, I’m getting a feeling of
‘Pet’ from her. I don’t know exactly
what that means, but it doesn’t seem to be much to worry about.”
“You’re the second person to mention these “Pets” what the
hell are you talking about?” Hermione growled in frustration.
Susan sat quietly, thinking, ‘Who would have told her about
Pets? That’s strictly a Pureblood tradition; although, Hannah seems to enjoy
her status as my Pet. I guess I’d better
give her the facts, otherwise she will go off on her own, and cause all kinds
of problems.’ Clearing her throat, she said; “Hermione?”
“Yeah?”
“I know what ‘Pets’ are, and, when Harry gets done practice,
I’ll let both of you know at the same time. But first, I’m going to see if the
twins have any more Firewhiskey, this conversation can be embarrassing.”

At the same time;

Cho hurried into the bathroom, checked to make sure she was
alone and rushed into the stall and shut and locked the door.
yanked up her robes and pushed her skirt to the floor. Sticking her hand inside
her panties, she plunged two fingers into her soaking core; stroking quickly in
search of release. As she fingered
herself, she kept picturing the look of dominant control on Hermione’s face, as
well as the image of Harry, straddling his broom, his muscular thighs clenching
around his broom. Just as she shoved
herself over the edge, she imagined Harry and Hermione both standing there in
front of her kneeling form, as she opened her mouth to take him inside.

Later that evening
Susan led Harry, Hermione and Ron up several staircases to
the seventh floor. Susan told them that
her aunt had told her of a special room in the castle that not everybody knew
about. She figured the magical room
would be the most private place she could arrange for the conversation that
would be the most embarrassing talk she ever had.
tapestry which depicted a Wizard surrounded by trolls who were dressed in
ballet outfits, Susan paced back and forth three times; and; to the other’s
surprise; a door appeared in the wall.
Opening it; the four of them went in and found a large room; furnished
comfortably with couches and lamps.
There was a table between two of the couches; and what looked like 2
bottle of
several glasses sitting on it. Moving
to one couch; Susan sat down; pulling Ron down beside her; and reached for the
bottle of whiskey. Slamming back a
shot, she grimaced as steam poured out of her ears.
Opening her eyes; she looked over at Hermione and said; “I
won’t ask how you heard about ‘Pets’ originally, but, it’s a tradition that has
almost exclusively been the province of the Pureblood families.
families have developed the habit of selecting particularly attractive,
un-attached Half-Blood or Muggleborn witches, and keeping them as ‘pets’ for
lack of a better word. They are
protected, and gain the status of being affiliated with a Pureblood in certain
sections of society. In return, they are
available for our pleasure. The reason I
say, almost exclusively for the Pureblood is that I did some checking, as well
as discussing it with my Aunt, and it turns out that certain people, because of
their accomplishments, are able to break through this class barrier.

Harry, you are “The Boy Who Lived” even though you hate that title, it’s a fact.
aspirations of moving in Pureblood Society, which, from what Ron says, you do,
then you need to adapt yourself to the idea of having a ‘pet’ as a symbol of
your status. You too, Hermione; not
only are you with Harry, but you have achieved notice on your own based on your
genius. Even though you’re a Muggleborn,
you will be expected to have a ‘pet’ as well, if you expect to fit in with the
older families.”
Hermione had been getting progressively angrier as Susan
spoke and started to stand and vent, when Harry stopped her by putting a hand
on her shoulder and pulling her too him.
“I know, I’m not crazy about it either, but, think about it.

had said, why not take a couple of Purebloods?
Wouldn’t that be a kick in the
shorts for the bigots? You say that Cho
may be one of them, and, how are you coming with Pansy?”
A lot of her anger drained away as Harry spoke, and,
eventually, a wicked grin crossed her face.
“It’s not really going anywhere right at the moment; but; I’ll be
raising the temperature with her fairly shortly.

Turning to Susan, she said, “Does the ‘Pet’ have a choice
about whether to accept or not? And, is there a special ritual or ceremony that
is needed?”
“Of course they have a choice!

the pet desires it; the collar turns invisible and their magic changes to show
their new status. Even if people aren’t consciously
aware of it, they will react differently to the pet, and treat her with the
respect they would to her owner. Now,
when I took Hannah, during the Winter Holiday last year, she stripped naked and
used her fingers and tongue on me until I passed out from the climaxes.”
Susan was blushing as she revealed even more details than
she had planned to. ‘Damn Firewhiskey! But, at least Hermione is calmed down.

and, uh oh! So does Ron. I think we need
to get somewhere private, quick!’
Turning to Ron; Susan says, “I think we need to find
someplace private, lover. It looks like
Harry and Hermione want some time alone.”
Hermione looks questionably at Harry, and he nods.

for the four of us. And besides, I’ve
been curious about you ever since I saw you in that bikini over the
summer. Haven’t you wondered about me,
even a little?”
“Well, of course, I didn’t think you’d be interested in
having other people around.”
“Let me show you how interested I am” Hermione said and she
stood and slid her robes off her shoulders, then stripped off her school
uniform until she stood there in stockings, and a matching bra and panty set.
Watching their girlfriends disrobe, Harry and Ron quickly
stripped to their briefs. He felt a
brief twinge of jealousy when he heard Susan gasp when she saw the size of
Harry’s equipment, “My God! How do you fit that thing inside you
Hermione?” Hermione didn’t answer, but
Ron was glad the Growth Potion his Dad gave him was permanent.
Harry took his wand out, but before he could transfigure the
furniture, the room shifted and the couches became an oversized bed.
and Susan embrace and starts to undress each other.
admiration as the girls revealed themselves to each other, as well as to their
men.
Hermione, not surprisingly was the aggressor, and she
removed Susan’s bra, freeing her breasts, which were easily twice the size of
Hermione’s. Moving from one nipple to
the other, Hermione licked and sucked each one, enjoying Susan’s obvious moans
of pleasure.
Ron leaned over and said, “She loves it when you pinch her
nipples, Hermione. Try it and you’ll
see.”
Hermione put her hands on each breast and gripped the
nipples between her thumb and index finger, and squeezed tightly.

Not giving the redhead a chance to recover, Hermione slid
her hands down and tugged Susan’s panties down around her knees.

mound, and smiled at how wet she was.
Gathering some of her juices, Hermione took her fingers to her mouth and
sucked them clean. “Susie; you taste
delicious!” She moaned, “And I can’t wait to enjoy them from the source!”
Matching deed to word, she buried her face in Susan’s pussy and started
licking.
Seeing his brother’s girlfriend panting in orgasm, Harry
smiled at Ron and said, “Damn! Your girlfriend’s a firecracker ain’t she?”
“Oh yeah! How about yours?” Ron said, as he stroked himself
through his shorts.
“Hell yeah! Just wait and see!
seems to have decided it’s her turn. Susan’s
had enough.”
Sure enough, Hermione had pulled away from Susan’s pussy and
stripped out of her underwear.
Straddling the exhausted girls face, she lowered herself until her lips
were just above Susan’s mouth. “Get to
work, girl! I’m not going to do all the work!”
Hermione started moaning and rocking as Susan’s tongue did its
work, and soon reached her first peak of the evening.
that Susan had kept on licking, and she was rushing toward another climax.
Looking over at Ron and Harry, she saw that they were both
fully ready for action, so she said; “Harry, come over here and give me your
cock! I want you in my mouth; now!”
Harry didn’t argue, and he moved to Hermione as Ron moved to
Susan and pulled her ankles over his shoulders.
Hermione rolled off of Susan and reached for Harry, pulling him into her
mouth. After only a little attention;
Harry growled out; “Enough foreplay! On your back, now!”
Hermione blinked ‘feeling the testosterone Harry?’ she
wondered; but then she smiled as he was inside her, filling her up.
Pansy and Cho; lying naked, except for each was wearing a collar, before her;
Harry was beside her, watching as the two of them were stroking themselves,
begging permission for release. The
image was so intense Hermione barely realized that she was pushing back at
Harry; screaming and moaning out her orgasm.
It was only 10 minutes later that she came back to reality, and panting
heavily; smiled up at Harry whispering; “Wow!”
He smiled back, “Wow is right!
You’ll have to tell me what you were thinking of, it really got you
going.”
“Oh; I will, but don’t worry; you were there too!” She said
with a wicked grin.
Lying back on the bed, Harry looked over at Ron and Susan
and hid a smirk, Susan was looking
rather disgruntled, and Ron was trying to get himself back to hardness, without
much luck.
“Ron, my brother, I told you that Flaumel’s potions and
exercise program had its benefits. I
hope you believe me now.” Harry said, as gently as he could.
“Yeah, yeah, I do. I’ll start the program tomorrow,
okay?” Ron said, embarrassed.
Susan saw the unhappy look on her boyfriend’s face; and made
a quick decision.
Pulling him down beside her she whispered in his ear. “Ron;
when you can keep going after making me cum three times; I’ll let you finally take
my ass! How’s that for an incentive?”
Harry and Hermione couldn’t tell what Susan said, but it wiped
the frown off of Ron’s face and got him grinning, a far away looking in his
eyes.
They all dressed and headed out of the room, Ron escorting
Susan to the Hufflepuff dorm and Harry and Hermione heading directly back to
Gryffindor.

Time Passes
Harry was surprised to see so many people signed up for the
Dueling Club, In fact, it seemed as if almost every 3rd year and
above Gryffindor, Ravenclaw and Slytherin, as well as a smattering of
Hufflepuffs, including Susan were there.
Professor Flitwick was just as good at teaching Dueling as he was at
teaching Charms. The tiny professor
tested each of them to determine their skill levels, and paired them up with
people at approximately the same level.
That was how Harry ended up facing Goyle, and Hermione was working with
Pansy Parkinson. Ron was paired with
Cedric Diggory, a 5th year Hufflepuff, who was the Seeker on their Quidditch
team. Draco, to his chagrin, found
himself facing Neville Longbottom, who consistently defeated him in the
practices. Draco found himself getting
angrier and angrier, until he eventually decided to dig up the book his father
had left for him in the hidden part of the vault.
Harry, remembering what Narcissa had told him about the
traditional ties between the Potter, Goyle and Parkinson families, decided to get
to know the two of them; especially since it seemed that Hermione had chosen
Pansy as her pet. He was rather
surprised at how well his girlfriend took to the idea of a pet; but like any
new idea; she was fascinated with it. . He had expected to have a major
argument on his hands to convince her.
However, it seems as though she has picked up some of his pragmatism
over the past year or so. And, as far as
Harry was concerned; If it's necessary to have a pet or two to achieve his
goals, having another girl around for variety is not a bad thing, especially
since Hermione enjoys the girls as well.
Why complain? He also, once
Hermione pointed it out to him, noticed Cho watching him at times when she
thought he didn’t notice. Harry helped Hermione
as much as he could in searching for information about the rules and history of
pets in the Library; which wasn’t much.
In fact, she was getting frustrated by how little she could find
out. Finally; he suggested she make it a
point to ask Narcissa about it since she was the one who raise the subject
originally. Hermione brightened, and
proceeded to pull out a piece of parchment, and start writing down questions to
ask her. Harry shook his head, smiling
in amusement at his girlfriend.
Ron kept to his promise, and started the potion and exercise
program the others had started second year, and began noticing a difference in
short order. He still wasn’t up to the
goal Susan set for him, but he was determined.
Susan certainly wasn’t complaining about his improvements, and neither
was Hannah for that matter, on the occasions when the blonde joined them.
They rarely saw the headmaster this year, other than at
meals; it seemed that the crystals Arthur provided were doing what they were
meant to do. It seems that Professor

her magical signature since she left her cell.
Harry found himself looking forward to Potions each week.
year, and was continuing to teach the nutrient potions and exercises, as well
as several other useful potions. The
students were broken up into the same groups as the year before, but, this time
Harry was amused to see, several of the ‘control’ group were asking for the
nutrient potions and the exercises, the main exceptions being Draco and Crabbe,
who just sat together at the back of the classroom, making smart remarks and
just barely getting by.
Draco spent his free time studying the book his father had
left him. The spells weren’t necessarily
dark, but, there were ways they could be used to severely injure an opponent.

he would be working with the mudblood Granger.

Dueling Club mid
November, Thursday Afternoon
Draco stood in the approved stance, waiting for Granger to
get into position. Professor Flitwick
stood between them, holding the traditional white feather.
The feather had just left the professors hand when Draco
fired off the first spell, “Diffindo!”
Hermione dodged the cutting curse and was preparing to
disarm him when Draco fired again, using the Reductor Curse on the floor in
front of Hermione. The debris from the
blast knocked her unconscious before she could get her first spell off.
Draco raised his wand to fire again, but before he could
cast his final spell, he was hit by several stunning spells, from Harry, Ron,
Neville, Susan, and Professor Flitwick. Harry rushed to Hermione and started
clearing the rubble away from her as Professor Flitwick sent a student for
Madam Pomphrey. Fortunately she was in
the area, having expected injuries from the duels.

Draco woke up and recognized his surroundings as the
Headmaster’s office, so he relaxed.
Draco figured he would be back in the dormitory before too long.
would let him go with a few minor detentions.
Draco just had to make sure that he was more subtle the next time he
faced the mudblood.
He soon realized that something had changed; something
drastic; The Headmaster sat across from him, looking at him sadly; and
Professor Flaumel, his Head of House was standing by Dumbledore’s
watching him.
Dumbledore cleared his throat, and said; "Mister
Malfoy; you have taught me a lesson I have been avoiding for 60 years.
While you were unconscious; I scanned your memories, trying to find some shred
of mitigating circumstances, some reason to show you mercy.
However, your memories have finally driven home what several people have tried
to tell me over the years; that there are some people who are not
redeemable! Unfortunately, I cannot use your memories in front of a
court; but, because of the crimes you have committed, even using the Imperius
on another student; the most I can do is snap your wand and expel you from
Hogwarts. By the Authority I hold as the
Supreme Mugwump of the Wizengamot, you are hereby expelled from the magical
world. You are forbidden to use magic
again until the day you die!" As Dumbledore pronounced the sentence; a
grey cloud surrounded Draco and it permeated into his flesh. "You
have two hours to pack and leave the castle, farewell!" Then
Dumbledore turned his back on Draco.

Draco left his escort in the common room; and walked to his
room, not paying attention to what was around him; he was too occupied with
thoughts of vengeance on Potty and the Mudblood.

him from the shadows. All he knew was
darkness.

While Draco was packing his possessions, the seventh year
Slytherin prefects gathered all the members of the house, except for the 3rd
year boys, and told them what happened.
One of the Prefects explained the Ritual that would happen as the
disgraced student left the school for the last time.
the Ritual had to be performed in almost 40 years; and he didn’t want to have
to see another one in his lifetime, because the student brought shame onto
their entire house and all its members.

Later that evening, Draco was seen dragging his trunk out
the Main Entrance, through the Gauntlet of Shame, where all the members of his
house lined the hallway, except for his goons.
As he walked past his former house mates, they deliberately turned their
backs on him. At the doorway, he was
stopped by the Slytherin Prefects, who stripped him of his house colors, and formally
ejected him from the rolls of Slytherin House before they, too, turned their
backs on him and ignored him as he trudged down the hill toward Hogsmeade.
Two people, in two separate windows, watched as Draco walked
out of sight. Albus Dumbledore shook his
head in sadness at the senseless loss of a bright student.

Only one of these two watchers ever saw Draco again.

She

Hermione
jerked around to look at him; “Minister of Magic? What are you talking about
Harry? You know they’d never elect a
‘mudblood’ to that office.”
“Today?
Maybe not; but in about seven or eight years, when we’ve broken the backs of
the blood supremacist bigots, don’t be surprised at what we can accomplish.”
Her
eyes widened as she listened to him; “You’re serious? You’ve really got a plan
to make me Minister of Magic? What will
you be doing, running the Wizengamot?”
“Oh,
I figure I’ll be about ready to take over as Headmaster here, and guide the
next generations of students. I think
that would be enough to keep us both busy.
Besides any children we decide to have, of course.”
“Well,
let’s figure out that part later, okay?
We can get lots of practice, but I think I’d like to at least graduate
before bringing the next generation of Potters into the world.”
Hermione
said with a smile, and she squeezed Harry’s hand.

The note was unsigned.
Harry looked at Hermione; “Do you think it means what I think it

“I think somebody gave us a gift of a ferret.

Letting the others go back to the tower, the two of them made the trunk

Leaving it there, they went up to the tower and quickly fell asleep in

Saturday Morning
Harry and Hermione woke up early that morning; and grabbed a light
breakfast before heading down to the chamber. Walking over to the trunk, they
checked the lock for any traps before lifting the lid.
Malfoy was shoved into the main chamber.
“He doesn’t look very comfortable, does he?” Hermione smirked;
“No he doesn’t. Why don’t we let
him get stretched out? At least let him

Casting a couple of spells on herself,
Hermione hisses at him, "You think you’re so much better

was rising with each question; tears of fury running down her face; as she
pushed him further and further back. “Well, come on Draco, try to hit
