Chapter 9

!Concubine?

Harry felt a surge of magic rush through his body and his first thought was Oh shit. Actually, that was his second thought; his first thought actually was Oh shit, but in a pleased tone. The second one was in a horrified tone.

"You're my master now!" Kuna said happily, wrapping her arms around Harry. "But it's ok, I like being your love slave! I like you!"

"Oh wow," Harry moaned as he rolled over. Kuna giggled madly and rolled on top of him. He could smell her. She smelt like clean, if that were possible for someone living in the forest. Actually, she smelt like fresh water and wind. Harry didn't know how that was possible either.

She tugged on his arm to get him up. "Come!" she said happily. "We must go to your home! I want to see it!"

NO, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! Harry moaned, banging his head on the ground. It was unfortunate that the ground was soft and mossy, since he didn't hurt himself at all. "Stupid git, stupid sodding git," he muttered.

"Master?"

Harry jumped up, alarming the cheerful wood nymph and grabbed her hand. "Right, well since I can't get out of this magical bond – it is a magical bond right?" he interrupted himself.

She nodded jovially, not understand the first part. "Yes master!" she said. "By my magic it is unbreakable!"

Harry groaned again. "Alright, since I can't do anything about it, we might as well head back," he said with great lament. "What – what do nymph love slaves do?"

She looked at him warily. "Anything," she said.

"Anything?" Harry asked incredulously.

"Anything."

"Oh wow," Harry breathed. "Don't worry, I won't make you do anything you don't want to do!"

"But I like you!" Kuna protested. "I want you to make me your slave in body and mind! I want you to take me night and day, gentle and rough, fast and slow!"

Harry nearly took her right there and then but somehow, SOMEHOW, SOME-BLOODY-HOW he managed to control herself. However, one more comment like that and he wouldn't be held responsible for his actions.

It was nearly one in the morning when Harry and his new wife/servant/slave? returned to Hogwarts. Kuna oohed and aww'd at the sight of the magnificent castle and nearly leapt with joy had Harry not restrained her.

"We have to be quiet," Harry told the excited nymph. "Many people are sleeping and we don't want to wake them up."

"Ok!" Kuna said cheerfully. She held onto his arm possessively. "Are you taking me to your home to ravish me now?"

"Oh good god woman!"

Kuna only smiled mischievously, showing her cute dimples. Yes, her dimples are also cute. You cannot escape the cuteness. And she's only like, eighteen.

Harry and Kuna finally arrived to his quarters. Kuna started to pick a fight with the Veela in his portrait, but luckily Harry stopped it and they went inside. Kuna shrieked in delight of so many foreign objects and darted around the room, touching everything. Harry just sighed heavily and took his jacket off and collapsed onto the bed.

Kuna was right there next to him an instant later and her nose touched his as she stared at him. He stared back into her earthly orbs and muttered, "… Yes?"

She merely giggled madly and pointed to the floor next to the bed. Harry looked down and saw a bunch of leaves. "Oh," Harry nodded. He took a deep breath.

"We must complete the bonding ceremony!" Kuna said brightly.

"Um, are you sure you want to do this Kuna?" Harry asked nervously. He was calculating the odds of success or scorn for taking a nymph lover. So far Harry estimated that he would get lots of positive acclaim from the younger male audience, but viewership in the female and adult areas might lose him airtime.

Kuna looked scandalized. "Of course, I like you!" she said. "If we do not bond then I will be shunned and exiled by my kind and sent to death by the bond!"

Harry stared at the young woman. "You wood nymphs really thought this bond over, didn't you?" he asked dryly. "Well, let's get this over with, who knows, I might even enjoy it."

Kuna laughed at him. "Silly human, how could you not?" she grinned.

The next morning, Harry awoke with his pelvis sore and aching. Kuna slept next to him with a very satisfied smirk on her lovely face. "Blasted nymph," Harry muttered fondly. Just to reiterate, this world rules. He rubbed her check affectionately before getting out of bed.

"Master?" Kuna asked sleepily.

"Just taking a shower Kuna," Harry told her. She was awake in seconds and bouncing on the bed. Harry's blood coursed watching her bounce.

"What is a shower?" she asked excitedly. "Can I take one too?"

Harry decided that maybe having a nymph for a slave wasn't really that bad. Heck, it made looking for a decent girlfriend unnecessary! Such ingenious thoughts! "Sure, how about we take a bath?" he suggested. "You'll love it, I swear."

An hour later, Harry and Kuna stepped out of his private bathroom with matching grins on their faces. She had absolutely loved the bath and had shrieked and frolicked around half the time. The other half was spent pleasing her master, which Harry didn't seem to mind anymore. After all, Kuna thought of the bath as a gift, and she had to repay her master. And Harry was a guy, which explains everything.

As they both walked into Harry's quarters, they noticed that his mother was standing there, a large piece of tapestry in her hand and a deadly look on her face.

"Oh shit," Harry said out loud. This was the second tone of course.

"HARRY JAMES POTTER!" Lily screamed. "I WOKE UP THIS MORNING AND JUST BY CHANCE I LOOKED AT THE FAMILY TAPESTRY. AND DO YOU KNOW WHAT I SAW!"

"I can fancy a guess," Harry said sheepishly as Kuna looked frightened out of her mind.

"IT SAID 'HARRY JAMES POTTER' AND RIGHT UNDER IT WITH A RED LINE WAS 'KUNA, CONCUBINE'! CONCUBINE!" Lily screamed.

"It wasn't my fault!" Harry said. "Kuna bonded herself to me!"

"Oh like I'm going to believe that!" Lily seethed.

"I like him!" Kuna said in her defense. "He is a wonderful master and I was lucky to bond to him quickly before he got away!"

Lily seemed to expand with rage and Harry wondered if she was going to explode. Finally, she deflated and collapsed on the floor. "A concubine, I can't believe it, my little boy…" she wept.

"It's ok mum," Harry said timidly, sitting down next to his mother. "She doesn't mind, honestly."

"He is my master!" Kuna said possessively.

"See?"

"I wanted you to fall in love, find the perfect girl," Lily moaned. "Not pick up a concubine or two! Where on earth did you find her?"

Harry winced. "In the forest," he said. "She's uh – she's a wood nymph."

Lily tensed up. "Oh bloody hell, I'm not going to bother," she finally muttered. She glared at her son. "Are you happy?" she asked.

Harry was bewildered. "Yes?" he said.

"And you?" Lily turned her head to Kuna, who was smiling way too happily for her own good. "Right, stupid question. Did you perform the bonding ceremony?" she asked Harry.

Harry turned beet red. "Well, I didn't like what she did, but I couldn't let her die!" he protested on his behalf. Lily was on him all of a sudden, hugging and sobbing.

"Oh my poor boy is so noble!" she cried. "Taking a concubine so she would live! I'm so proud of you!"

Harry saw Kuna looking over at them in curiosity. Redheads, he mouthed. Crazy!

Lily finally released her son from her clutches. "What's done is done I suppose," she said with a sniff. "You can still find yourself a proper wife anyways I guess."

"I have to share?" Kuna asked in utter disbelief. She wrinkled her nose cutely. Yes, every action that she does will be described as cute, you can't escape it readers. Just accept your fate. She is cute and you will hear of it as much as possible until it is drilled into your heads.

"Well, your godfather was happy to see it," Lily sniffed indignantly. "If I recall, his exact words were 'Way to go Harry, not even your old man could have pulled that off!' and your father was even worse! 'I can't believe he beat me Padfoot, I've been outdone by my own kid!'" she said in a deep voice. "At least Remus was sympathetic, but I knew I heard him mutter 'Lucky!' under his breath. Honestly!"

She stood up, pulling Harry with her. She began to tidy him up. "What is with you and wearing only towels in your room?" she asked irritably. "And you too!" she added to Kuna, who shrugged.

"I wear leaves!" she said innocently. Lily frowned.

"Yes, well I expect your provider and my dear son to get you some proper clothes," she motherly said. "Harry! Take her clothes shopping this instant!"

"Mum!" Harry whined. "We haven't eaten yet!"

"You can eat at the mall! Now shoo!"

Harry and Kuna were forcefully ejected from his quarters after he had gotten some clothes on and Lily loaned Kuna a t-shirt and skirt. As they rounded the corner at the end of the corridor, Aurora poked her head out of her room and asked, "Hey Lils, who was that girl with Harry?"

Lily sighed heavily. "You honestly don't want to know," she answered, giving the Potter Family Tapestry a dirty look.

Harry dragged himself back to Hogwarts while Kuna pranced beside him, dressed in the scantest amount of clothing she could possibly wear. Being a child of nature, it was either cover up the bare necessities or strut around naked as the day she was born. Naturally, Harry preferred the former and she bought many short shorts, skirts, tube tops, tiny t-shirts, half shirts, and shirts that were really brassieres, but called shirts. She refused to wear anything but thongs as well.

So, here we have our young hero dragging himself into the Great Hall, his new concubine nee wood nymph dancing beside him in shorts that barely covered her cute little bottom and a very small half shirt that had one side hiked up for some strange reason.

Harry threw himself into his chair while the faculty and students watched the odd girl sit next – pardon me – on his lap and began putting an assortment of vegetables on his plate. Wood nymphs don't eat meat of course. It's not cute enough.

"Uh, Harry who's that?" Aurora asked with her eyes narrowed. Dumbledore, be it fortunately or unfortunately decided to visit Harry.

"Well Harry, your mother told me this morning, congratulations!" he said, giving the poor man a pat on the shoulder. "Shall I call her by Kuna, mistress or Mrs. Potter?"

"WHAT!" Aurora screamed, nearly upending the head table. That would have been quite a feat, since with the food and whatnot on top; it probably weighed a ton or two.

"Call her whatever she wants," Harry sighed, leaning back and trying to swallow his tongue and choke himself to death.

"Kuna!" Kuna said stubbornly.

"Very well, welcome to Hogwarts Mistress Kuna, I hope you enjoy your stay," Dumbledore said, the twinkle apparent in his eye and the sanity obviously out shopping at the moment.

"When the bloody hell did this happen?" Aurora hissed, smacking Harry on the arm.

"Last night," was his response.

"You had a Vegas wedding last night?" she nearly shouted.

"No, she bonded herself to me," Harry groaned. "Can you like, shut up, my head hurts from all the screaming and my feet hurt from all the clothes shopping."

"You've taken a concubine?" Aurora snapped furiously. "Are you out of your mind?"

"Apparently," Harry shot back.

"Eat up your carrots!" Kuna said brightly, shoveling a handful of carrots into her master's mouth.

It was after many painful slaps to the back from the males (as he had thought) and many painful slaps to the face from the females (again as he had thought) that Harry finally pulled himself and his bubbly wife/servant/slave? to his Dueling class.

"You teach people how to fight?" she asked curiously. "Why?"

"There's this big bad guy out there that's causing a lot of trouble," Harry told her as they entered the silent room. It was all the younger years. "I need to get the students prepared to fight if they have to."

"Oh," she simply said. "Have fun!"

At 9:30, Harry finally called the class to an end and dismissed his students, many of whom were ogling his new companion. He took Kuna gently by the hand and they retired to his quarters for the night.
