My muse is abandoning me and I'm very sorry I didn't stick to my shedule. I'm trying to be better in uploading but it's a slow journey! Hope you like it


A few days came and went since Hermione gained three new slaves. She hadn't really visited them or any of the others really. She was very confused at the moment. Was it really the best decision she made taking those three new ones in? Well… Not that she thought it was a bad idea but didn't it disrupt the dynamic within the group?

Hermione shook her head. Back to the problem at hand, she was writing out her proposal for the education law. When she finally picked up her quill again, a soft rapping was heard at her door. Hermione sighed. 'Thank god, I don't think I can concentrate today.'

"Yes?" the door opened very slowly and the skirts of one of her kitchen maids was showing. Hermione looked up, brown eyes meeting dark blue. "Yes Millicent, how can I help you?"

Millicent was one of those girls that was saved out of Madame Umbridge's orphanage. Millicent started out as a slave in the Slytherin kingdom but she escaped and evaded the slave catcher until her group was caught and she was sent to the orphanage.

"Your Highness, I don't know if I can ask this but can I enquire about the three new slaves that joined us." Hermione smiled. "Why do you ask? They are called Marcus, Adrian and Zabini but I think Zabini is his last name." Millicent nodded.

"Well, your highness, I've known these men. We grew up in the same slave mansion in the Slytherin kingdom." Millicent said. Hermione smiled. "Well the gardens are very beautiful this time of year so I suggest taking them around there, giving them a little tour of the grounds and you can reconnect. But do you have a little time right now?"

Millicent nodded her head slightly. "Is there something I can do for you your majesty?"

Hermione smiled. "I would like you to tell me somethings about them so they can be more comfortable and well blend into the group more." Millicent smiled. There were a lot of stories she could tell about her friends so she would indulge the Queen.


As the Queen dismissed her, Millicent was walking over to the hospital wing. The three new slaves were still held there by Matron Pomfrey but she had specific orders to escort them outside before taking them to the others.

She softly knocked on the big doors before she pushed them open. Matron Pomfrey was giving the three men in the beds the stink eye but smiled as she turned around to greet Millicent. "Hello Millicent, how are you? Are you ready for another lesson?"

Millicent grinned. "Hello Matron Pomfrey, no lessons for today but I got the assignment to take these three scamps on a tour of the gardens and unite them with the others."

Matron Pomfrey smiled. "A little relaxation before throwing them for the lions?"

Millicent smiled. "Well I don't think the others will be that bad, but the relaxing is more for the advantage of the others."

Matron Pomfrey nodded her head. "Just give me a few minutes before I release them. I want to be sure they have a clean bill of health." Millicent nodded her head and waited on the first bed until she heard a few grunts and sighs coming from behind the curtains. Adrian was the first to turn up and hugged Millicent close. Marcus was the next to show up and immediately swept up Millicent in his arms. Zabini joined them and hugged Millicent tight. "How is our little sister?" Millicent smiled at the three of them. "Good and saving your asses again by helping you out of the hospital wing." Millicent smirked.

The three guys laughed and followed Millicent out of the hospital wing. Millicent lead them outside to the formal gardens. Roses were in bloom, giving off a wonderful smell. Millicent lead them to a secluded area with a few benches.

"How did you guys get here? The last time I saw you was they caught us out at the border." "We got captured but we could escape again, but after a few months we were caught by the imbeciles that led us here. And surprisingly the Queen allowed us to stay?"

Millicent smiled. "Yeah she has a saving people thing." And Millicent indulged the guys with information about her life before and after she got in the castle. She told about her apprenticeship with Matron Pomfrey and her work in the kitchens until she has her degree. She told about her relationship with another kitchen help, a girl named Pansy. And she told about how the Queen helped them set up funds for their own little cottage close to the castle.

The guys were very shocked that the Queen was so positive about the same sex relations. But Millicent gave them another example with two guards that found love in each other's arms and they were both male.

The guys had a few things to think about. They had wanted to escape this castle, just being free to roam the land but they would stick around a little more. Because they found Millicent again and because this Queen became more mysterious with each word Millicent was saying.

Millicent guided them to the common room the others were lounging in. They were prepared to face the music and meet the other slaves.
