Author Note: Millicent makes a choice, Goyle makes a move, and Daphne gets revealed.

===xxx===xx

Neville began to wear his bodysuit under his clothes daily. He and Draco both shared the same punishment of having to be walked to class and otherwise stay in their respective common rooms so did not get into much trouble.

Millicent and Pansy got into several squabbles. Usually Millicent won by virtue of being the more physical girl. Crabbe had also begun to ignore Pansy or do little things to annoy her, until he got beat down by Goyle to such a point that he wound up in the hospital wing.

Goyle had come back after grieving for his father a bit changed. He had shaved his head and walked with a perpetual angry sneer. Especially at the ADA. Draco and Theodore seemed to even be slightly afraid of him. Snape even seemed to have trouble getting Goyle to obey or respect him. Goyle had no family left at all and was becoming a bit of a loose cannon. Pansy though was intrigued and begun to be seen hanging off of his arm far more often.

The ADA elevated Goyle to the top threat and all of them began to wear their bodysuits, expecting him to seek retribution for his father. There was no evidence he knew they were involved but Hermione pointed out with his attitude he probably wouldn't care.

Neville was going back to the Gryffindor Tower for lunch being escorted by Parvati. The two of them chatting about the transfiguration homework they had been assigned. The foot traffic had thinned out as most students had already gone down to the Great Hall when Neville heard his name called. Turning he saw Goyle and Pansy stepping out of an alcove behind a tapestry.

"Goyle. What do you want?"

"I want to hold your heart in my hands after I rip it from your still beating chest." He sneered as he assumed a fighting pose.

"You know the headmaster outlawed dueling at school." Neville calmly said stepping in front of Parvati.

"Oh this won't be a duel this will be a beating." Goyle said taking his gloved fists and quickly thumping the knuckles together. A glowing blue nimbus surrounded his fists as he began to stalk forward.

Neville swiftly said to Parvati, "Go get help." Then took a fighting stance as well.

Parvati turned to run for a second set of stairs when Pansy lashed out with a rope spell. There wasn't much Neville could do as Goyle was on him. Throw short economical punches that were swift and carrying a large amount of force Neville saw as he dodged or deflected the blows. One struck a painting on the wall causing the inhabitants to have to flee as the blue nimbus blasted the frame to kindling.

Neville was trying to get a grip on Goyle arm's but they were swollen taught muscles ripping at his sleeves. The muscles swelling and vessels pulsating just below the skin. A small part of Neville's mind quickly identified that he had taken a strength potion, probably more than one.

A punch managed to barely intersect Neville's ribs taking his breath briefly as he shifted and moved in the steps that the Grangers had taught. Neville knew that this was not going to continue going well so he pulled his combat knife. Switching to bladed combat like Uncle Paul had said.

The appearance of the goblin worked blade didn't seem to deter Goyle as he sneered and continued the fight. Neville slashed and blocked, causing blood to run down Goyle's arm in rivulets. He did not seem to notice at all as the wounds began to pile up. Neville failed to block a swift flurry of punches as he felt his left shoulder dislocate and shatter from one punch that would have landed on his jaw if he hadn't moved.

Dropping down Neville swung the knife blade upwards into Goyle inner thigh, plunging it up into his groin to the hilt. Neville had no doubt that this fight would only end with one or the other dead and as he saw the dark mark on Goyle's left forearm where the sleeve had torn away he felt no qualms about it being Goyle whose life ended.

Blood spurted out in thick fast gushes letting Neville know he had hit the artery he was looking for. Goyle's lifespan was measured in minutes, so all he had to do was last that long as he rolled back and out of the way of Goyle's boot stomp. A punch on the floor caused tiles to leap and crack spraying Neville with shards that cut his face.

Neville had scrabbled until his back was to the wall when Goyle faltered a step. He stumbled and fell to his knees. His face had become pale and ashen as his blood ran down his legs in a pool. A gallon of blood coated the floors as Goyle growled and fell on his face. His hands outstretched he clawed his way towards Neville who kicked and shoved on Goyles face. Neville's left arm hung useless and limp but his right arm gripped his knife which he slashed out at the dark mark inked arm that had managed to grip his ankle. Goyle gave a final sigh and collapsed his grip slackening. Neville panted just before his own eyes rolled back in his head and the lights went out.

While Goyle and Neville danced in the sands of blood Pansy stalked Parvati. The dark skinned girl wrapped from shoulder to ankle in thick ropes tried to wriggle free.

"Well, well, you damn curry carpet muncher. Let's see if you're the same color on the inside. Eh?" Pansy sneered as she stepped on Parvati's stomach. "Maybe instead of cutting you open we just turn you inside out eh? The ol entrail expelling curse. I've always wondered how that worked. Does it come out your butthole or your mouth or both maybe." She sounded excited to know.

"I know Greggie was hoping to have some fun with you when he's done pummeling Longbottom into paste, but I don't think you could handle it. That and I don't want him to sully that magnificent tool in your dirty fanny." She cooed.

"You're the one who'd know all about dirty fanny's you bitch." Pansy heard as Millicent Bulstrode came from the direction of the Gryffindor tower.

"Bulstrode? Well what're you doing here?" Pansy said standing up.

"None of your business Parkinson. Now get off her."

"Oh? I thought Longbottom was snorting in your hog trough. It was this brown dyke after all?"

Millicent stomped forward breathing hard in anger. "No more Parkinson. I choose which side now."
Pansy was still standing with one foot on Parvati when she went to cast a cutting curse on Millicent who was charging at her. Parvati shifted throwing her aim off so instead of slashing her throat she slashed her diagonally from her right hip to left shoulder. Millicent yelped but jumped on Pansy. Grabbing her arms as she straddled the far skinnier girls chest.

"No Goyle to save you now. No Draco to save you. You're mine bitch." The far larger girl said sliding her hand from Pansy's wrist to grab at her wand. Pansy did not want to let go and fired a few spells off in her struggles before it snapped due to Millicent trying to rip it out of her fingers, or with her fingers she wasn't certain. Millicent threw the half of Pansy's wand over her shoulder and head butted the prone girl.

Parvati had begun to roll away from the struggles when the ropes dissolved. She wasn't sure why the spell ended earlier but pulled her wand and froze. Neville and Goyle were moving around too much for her to get a clean shot at Goyle and Millicent's broad back was covering Pansy. When part of Pansy's wand went flying by trailing gold sparks she flinched and backed against the wall.

Pansy spat in Millicent's face causing Bulstrode to head butt Pansy hard enough her eyes crossed. She tried to recover but Millicent had begun to punch her repeatedly until someone grabbed her arm in mid punch. Glaring over her shoulder she stopped when she saw it was Harry Potter-Black. She slumped as he said, "Millie you're bleeding. We need to get you to the hospital wing."

===xxx===xx

Harry, Hermione and the rest of the ADA sat outside of the Hospital wing in the antechamber. They had been eating dinner when suddenly Margaret had screamed that he was killing them at the top of her voice before clinging to Susan trembling in fear. Harry and Hermione knew that had meant Neville was being targeted and bolted form the room followed by Lavender. Somehow the headmaster and Professor McGonnegal had arrived at the same time they did and found the tableau of Goyle and Neville passed out on the smashed and destroyed blood coated floor. The two of them unmoving Hermione went to check on them with lavender while Harry stepped in to stop Millicent smashing Pansy's head into paste.

The headmaster left the hospital wing with a short man in a brown tweed suit with a blue silken waistcoat. He was just putting a notebook in his pocket when Harry and the others stood up.

"Sir how are they?" He stopped the headmaster.

"Ahh well Mr Longbottom will recover. He had some ribs and his shoulder broken along with a few cuts but otherwise is none the worse for wear. Miss Bulstrode suffered a deep cut but will be just as good by morning as will Miss Patil." The headmaster explained with a happy smile. "It was very fortunate Mr Longbottom was wearing the suit you provided or his injuries would have been far graver."

"Will there be any repercussions for them?" Hermione asked. Relieved that the suit worked.

"Oh of course not. Will they?" Albus asked turning to the shorter man beside him.

"Ah o course not. Clearest case o self-defense ah've seen in a long time now." the man said in an Irish accented cheerful voice.

"Uh sir? Whoa re you?" Harry asked bluntly.

"Oh forgive me. I'm Auror Detective Inspector Francis Muldoon. A rather big mouthful of a title so ye can call me Francis." The man said holding his hand out.

Harry shook it in confusion. "So both of them?"
"Ah. Young Mr Goyle was wearin a pair o Mutai Gloves. These are deadly weapons as they enhance the punching power of the one wearing it by a hundred fold. Plus he had taken a potion o giant strength and pain suppression. He was going ta murder ye friend. If he hadn'a done some fine wandless casting there. As for the lass. Well she came ta the rescue of the ambassador's daughter so I'm sure he'll be more than appy ta show his appreciation for her being defended like that."
"Parvati is an Ambassador's daughter?" Lavender gasped in surprise. "She never mentioned that."

"Oh now did she? Well better keep it under ye hat then lass. Ya neglected ta tell me that Albus." The short man said with a wink.

"Oh. I suppose it had slipped my mind. Now the rest of you should slip away quietly as Madam Pomfrey has given all of her guests sleeping draughts until the morning. They'll be quite fine in her fine care but it would be best not to disturb them." Dumbledore quietly chuckled.

The group nodded and began to shuffle off except Hermione who asked, "What will happen to Pansy?"

"Well her behavior and attitude have earned her an expulsion at the very least. Plus as it was confirmed that she had taken the mark she'll be a guest of the Ministry for a time." Dumbledore sighed.

Francis Muldoon nodded grimly. "Aye she'll be well taken care of."
Hermione sighed "Okay. Good."
"I would have to disagree Miss Granger it is not good. A young girl, throwing her life away like that. That is never good." The headmaster said gravely. "Well I should see you to the floo Francis."
"Certainly Albus. I have a long night ahead of me writing up this literary masterpiece." The shorter man laughed as they moved off.

Lavender shook her head, "Parvati is a diplomat's daughter. Imagine that."

===xxx===xx

The next morning Neville slowly woke up. He could tell he was in the hospital wing from the way Harry had described it from his frequent stays here. He opened his eyes and sat up slowly. Moving carefully as a few of the bones had not quite finished regrowing and there was some residual aches.

He swung his legs over the edge and looked around the room. He saw Parvati sleeping in a bed across the room and then he saw Millicent. She was laying on her side gazing at him.

"Hello." he said softly. Not wanting to disturb anyone else. Giving Millicent a smile he stood up and moved to walk closer. She didn't flinch or frown at him but gave him a shy smile back.

"Hello." She replied. Her voice uncertain and worried.

"So how did you wind up here?" He asked sitting in the chair beside her bed.

"I guess you missed it but I kinda beat up Parkinson. While you and Goyle were fighting." She replied.

"Oh. Well thanks. That must have felt good." He grinned gently.

She snorted in amusement, "Yeah it did. I was coming to warn you about Goyle. Only I guess they got there first."

"Well thank you for trying. I really do appreciate it." Neville said.

"Yeah. Uh. I guess they took my girdle off to treat me."
"Actually Miss Bulstrode it was damaged beyond repair by Miss Parkinson." The matron said walking up.

Neville went to stand up only for the matron to wave him back into his seat. "Just stay seated Mr Longbottom. I can examine you there as well as anywhere."
"Yes ma'am."

Waving her wand over Millicent she nodded, "Very well, no lingering effects from the spell. She seemed to use just a normal cutting charm. So you can get dressed and leave as soon as Mr Longbottom steps aside."

"I'll need to get my spare girdle and corset out of my trunk." Millicent worriedly said.

"Why? Do you really need them?"

"I told you I'm a big girl." Millicent blushed looking downcast.

"I don't mind." Neville grinned.

The matron cleared her throat, "Obviously you are not suffering any ill effects MR Longbottom." She said with a repressed grin as she waved her wand over him.

"Uh no ma'am."

"Very well the both of you are healthy and seem to have recovered. I would still treat that shoulder with some care for the rest of the day." the matron said to Neville.

"As for your wardrobe. I can ask Professor Snape to send your clothes here or you may leave with the uniform I'll provide. It is still early enough that most students will still be in bed."

"I'll go on my own."
"Very well. Mr Longbottom." The matron waved her hand towards Neville's bed and then pulled the curtain when he returned to gather his clothes.

When the curtain was pulled back again his eyes widened in surprise as Millicent stood there. She was almost his height which put her at 5'11" it was her figure that stunned him though. She had a large bosom. No large was an understatement he thought. They swelled outward from her chest like twin zeppelins ready to invade England, mountains worthy of being climbed. They hung pendulously over a stomach that was solid and round. It began just below her bosom and ended at her thighs. Thick firm thighs that her skirt merely accentuated. Her hips were wide and full of potential he felt his breathing tighten and accelerate.

She frowned and looked at the floor, "I know I'm a freak. I'm disgusting."

"No you're a Venus." Neville whispered in awe. "You're beautiful."

Both the matron and Millicent looked up at Neville in curiosity and confusion. "Mr Longbottom perhaps you could clarify your comment." The matron requested.

"My dad. He collected these figurines, or copies of them really. They're called Venuses. Like the Venus of Willendorf. They're fertility goddess representations. My Gramma hates them but they were my dad's so she doesn't do anything with them. You remind me of them. A goddess of fertility." Neville rambled awkwardly before he finally seemed to realize what he was saying and stopped talking.

Millicent looked at him with a flickering shy smile as if she wasn't certain he was being honest with his words but would give him the benefit of the doubt.

The matron looked at the two of them, "It is my duty as the matron to remind the both of you that official school policy is that sexual relations are not permitted on school grounds. Even for a fertility goddess. However as a woman I have a prophylactic potion available Miss Bulstrode."

Both teens blushed at that point but Millicent looked up at Neville who was smiling goofily. She nodded at the matron who hustled off.

"You really think I'm pretty? No joking or I'll smack you too." She said cautiously optimistic.

"No joking. I mean it."

"What about Bones or Brown?" She asked.

"Uh. Well I like them too. And they're both pretty too and. Its kinda complicated." He rubbed the back of his neck.

"Yeah okay. I can accept that. Well we can figure it out later I guess." She said smiling at him.

The matron came back, explained the potion and watched as Millicent drank all of it. She nodded and went to check on Parvati.

"Uh ma'am. Why isn't there a male potion like that?" Neville asked before she left. "I was just curious."
The matron paused, "Because the male body produces new sperms daily. There is some difficulty making a potion that is long lasting, effective and safe enough for a male to take. The one that males can use lasts only a single day. The female body operates on a different cycle and the magic of the potion is better able to manipulate that."
"Oh. Okay. I see." Neville said nodding in understanding.

"Perhaps if you study hard enough you could find a way to rectify that." The matron suggested. "Now you are both released and can return to your normal schedule."

"Thank you ma'am."

Parvati was waking up as Neville and Millicent were walking out hand in hand. Watching them leave she shrugged, "Well that was unexpected."

===xxx===xx

Neville and Millicent walked holding hands towards the dungeons. Her bosom was moving and swaying with each step unrestrained and Neville kept glancing out of the corner of his eye.

"They're a 42M if you're curious." She said finally. "Madam Malkin says I'm the largest human she's seen that naturally grew them."

"Oh. Wow. Uh that's bigger than Susan." He said in awe.

Millicent laughed hollowly. "Yeah. They just won't stop. Actually all of me just won't stop and I don't know why. Dad keeps a record and measures me and stuff but he never tells me why."

"Really? Hunh. So what does your dad do?"

Millicent shrugged making her chest shift in ways that briefly distracted Neville. "I dunno. He does stuff in his lab."

"Stuff like a doctor or something?"

Millicent shrugged, "I don't know. He doesn't talk to us about it. Just his death eater buddies. But I get the feeling that whatever he was expecting or hoping for me and Maggie hasn't turned out the way he was wanting."

"I'm sure it'll be alright." Neville reassured.

"I guess. I just dunno." She glumly said.

"Well I'm glad you decided to join us. You're not all that bad." Neville said squeezing her hand.

"I got a letter yesterday from dad berating me for not taking the mark yet and not being a good daughter. He expected me to be a better daughter. I'm shit at spells, that's why I get physical when I fight. They think I'm a squib. I don't really like hurting people anymore and I just am a fat freak." She sighed.

"You're not a freak. Please don't call yourself that. I may not react as badly as Harry does at that word but I still don't like it. And my family thought I was a squib, maybe you just need to get some training or focus or a new wand."

"Okay and why can't I lose weight? I've tried and it doesn't work. Even potions only work a little bit."

"Maybe its the way you are supposed to be. Hermione was talking about magical patterns and stuff, or something muggles discovered called DNA. Maybe they could figure something out."

"Yeah but I've been big all my life. I started growing boobs when I was eight. I'm almost as tall as you are. I got a pot belly that looks like I ate a first year. And let's not even talk about my backside." She huffed.

"Why not. I don't mind it."

She snorted or giggled. Neville wasn't sure but she at least didn't let go of his hand.

"What will your friends think about us?" She said changing the subject.

"They'll be fine with it. I mean in case you haven't noticed we're all pretty open about things." Neville said with a grin.

"Yeah well I'm not getting naked in front of anyone else." She declared firmly.

Neville shrugged that time, "Your choice. More for me to appreciate then." He grinned.

They reached the Slytherin dungeons and she said she would be right back when she got dressed. Neville gave her a hug and squeeze on the rump as she went off with an attempt at swaying seductively that made him sigh happily as he leaned against the wall with his arms crossed.

Draco and Nott came out a few moments later and froze staring at Neville suspiciously.

"Longbottom. Good work on Goyle." Draco finally said after a few moments.

"No hard feelings on losing one of your minions." Neville snorted

"Three actually. You seem to have seduced Bulstrode somehow over to your harem of bountiful babes. And of course Parkinson." Draco stated with a shrug.

"Oh you must be so broken hearted." Neville snarked.

Draco seemed to consider for a moment, "No not really. Thank you for helping weed out the weak and pathetic. Saves me the trouble." He shrugged then moved to walk off.

"Mighty brave of you to turn your back on me." Neville said stepping out into the middle of the corridor.

Draco paused, "Really? I thought stabbing someone in the back was a Slytherin trait. Not a Gryffindor." He waited a moment then walked on. Nott walking next to him dutifully, his robes swishing behind him.

Daphne came out next and looked coldly at him. Gazing around swiftly she nodded then quietly said, "Longbottom. Tell Potter Shrieking shack, tomorrow just after lunch." Then walked away stiffly holding her head up as Tracey Davis and a few others came out. It was getting close to breakfast and Neville was drawing attention as each Slytherin came out of the door to their common room to find a Gryffindor standing in the corridor. Some reacted with confusion while others glared at him like it was an affront for him to merely be there.

Millicent eventually came out wearing her normal uniform, everything tucked back into the compression suit she wore.

"Sorry. I almost went without but I'm not ready for that yet."

Neville painted a smile on his face, "Fine. No problem. Whenever you're ready." He then offered her his arm.

Taking it they moved off to the Great Hall.

===xxx===xx

When they arrived at the hall Susan and Lavender moved over for Neville and Millicent. Lavender giving Millicent a hug which caused her to stiffen momentarily before awkwardly sitting down. When no one yelled at her or told her to leave she started to relax. Margaret laughed happily that the group was all together.

The group seemed to accept Millicent with no comment and acted like she had been part of them all along. Neville told Harry what Daphne had said and they made arrangements. Neville would still be on restrictions so Lavender and Susan would stay with him. Lavender said she'd sneak Millicent into Gryffindor tower along with Margaret too.

When Millicent reacted in surprise Harry said they would give her the benefit of the doubt. That she was the one who could choose to be part of their family or not. Millicent maintained her composure but only barely.

Once Harry and Hermione were alone a bit later Hermione cleared her throat in the manner that Harry recognized as her getting ready to ask a rather unpleasant question.

"Yes dear what is it?" Harry sighed.

"How far do we trust Millicent? She is still a Slytherin after all."

"We trust her as far as Neville does. Lavender and Susan have accepted her so we accept her." Harry said flatly in a tone of voice that closed the subject.

Hermione nodded and went on with the day. The air was a bit tense around the Slytherins as they saw Millicent being friendly and close with the Gryffindors.

When the day was done Neville walked Millicent back to her common room. Lavender came along as a chaperone and escort.

Standing outside the common room Neville smiled holding Millicent's hands, "So are you going to be alright still?"
"Yeah. They may not like me but I've cracked enough heads and balls to make them cautious about trying to pull a stunt with me."

"Even Malfoy? He seems a bit more hard to persuade."

"Maybe. I can handle myself Longbottom." Millicent sternly said.

"Okay. Just making sure. Its what we do."

Millicent smirked, "Well trust me to be able to handle myself. I'm not a weak little flower."

"No you are not. So okay. I better get back to the tower."
"Sure thing." Millicent grabbed Neville and kissed him with quite the passion. She then shoved the stunned Gryffindor to Lavender. "I'll leave him for you to finish off, for now."

Lavender laughed, "Okay Millie. Good night."

The Slytherin girl smiled and entered her common room.

===xxx===xx

Millicent had entered the Slytherin common room and froze. It lights had been turned down low enough that the room was filled with shadows and flickering lights from the fireplace. The giant windows looking out under the lake had their illumination turned off as well. Millicent did not hear anyone moving about, making noises, or even the scritch of quills on parchment. She sniffed the air and smelled Draco's pomade. This made the hair on her neck stand on end.

"Come along Millicent dear. I know you can sense I'm here. That wonderful nose of yours. We need to talk." Draco quietly said from the chair beside the fire.

Millicent moved over to sit across from him, "What do you want Malfoy."

"Well. Its rather obvious you've made your decision on joining us."
"Yeah. I'm not gunna." She declared defiantly. "I've had a better offer."

"So Longbottom is that good is he? Intriguing. Pity his gate is hinged only one way." Draco observed with a dark chuckle.

Millicent scowled at Draco, "So what're you going to do?"
"Oh just relax Bulstrode. I have been placed in charge of all operations at Hogwarts. So since I find it rather amusing, as long as you do not actively work against us I'll do nothing to you. I have other fish I need to fry." He casually said.

"You're not gunna hurt Maggie are you?"

Draco scoffed, "As long as you behave yourself. Otherwise I do not care about her. She makes that Lovegood barmy bint seem downright sane."

Millicent glared at him without blinking as he stared into the fire.

"You can go now Bulstrode. I have nothing more to say to you. Just remember to mark my words. Do not cross us." Draco glared at her from under hooded eyes.

"Feck off Malfoy." Millicent growled standing up. "Yer not as big a deal as you think you are."

Draco sneering in amusement said, "Well I suppose that will yet be determined won't it?"

===xxx===xx

The next morning Lavender , Susan, Margaret and Millicent retired to the Gryffindor tower with Neville. The others though set up early for their meeting with Daphne. Hermione took the satphone and the GPS to run a few tests off of the school grounds.

The teams spread out along the route to the Shrieking shack while Harry, Hermione and Luna took a position in the shack.

Hermione was frowning at the satphone and GPS as she kept playing with the settings including the diagnostics as she read the manual. Luna watching her or outside the windows. Harry sat on the couch and waited.

"So you get the thing working yet?"
"No. Which is odd. Since we're outside the wards it should be working." Hermione frowned, "I had Dobby take me back to Crawley and it worked, we went to London and it worked. Until we went in Diagon Alley when it stopped. Same thing at Grimmould.

Luna made a humming noise, "Hermione what's the one thing Diagon Alley and Hog Valley have in common?"
"Well high magic, strong wards, and they're both unplottable."
"Right. Which you told me those things send magic beams up into the sky machines then back down. So what if something about being unplottable is affecting or blocking those beams." Luna suggested pointedly.

Hermione's eye lit up as she started thinking rapidly, "Dad always said it was like something out of Doctor Who when he went to Diagon Alley I wonder."

"What's the big deal about unplottable stuff?"

"Harry remember when Uncle Bill showed us those aerial views of London and we couldn't find Diagon Alley or those maps and satellite photos that should have shown Hog Valley. The cameras should have seen those places but they didn't. It was like they weren't there."

"Maybe they are not actually there from a certain point of view. Maybe they are in a sort of trans-dimensional space that is coterminous with the real world that is only accessed through a specific gateway?" Luna suggested with a smile.

Hermione grabbed and kissed Luna before saying, "Yes exactly!"

Harry shook his head before Luna put her head to her earpiece. "Katie says Daphne is coming up the lane."

"Okay show time." Harry said.

Daphne entered after carefully checking the place out. Seeing Harry, Hermione and Luna she nodded and took a seat.

"They know you and your crew were the ones responsible for saving the Abbotts."

"Great so what are they going to do about it?" Hermione asked grumpily.

"According to my sources there is some debate. Some of them want to go after you directly but others want to go after your families. The big man is unable to think clearly and is relying on his seconds heavily." Daphne said with a shrug.

"We should probably begin movies the families out." Harry said to Hermione who nodded and took the mirror to contact Lupin.

"Are there any other raids planned soon?" Harry asked.

"Yes several. Here is the list my sources managed to discover." She passed a piece of paper to Harry who glanced at it then handed it to Luna to tell Remus.

"Okay we'll take care of some of these."
Luna's hand went to her earpiece, "We have guests coming in. Malfoy, Nott and Zabini."
Daphne immediately got up to pressed herself close to Potter. "They must have followed me. Malfoy is cracking down on traitors in Slytherin. Promising great rewards for loyalty." She began to unbutton her blouse.

"You two go hide. Make sure they can't find you." Harry said figuring out what Daphne was going to do.

Hermione and Luna scrambled up the stairs to hide but remain nearby. Daphne swung one of her legs over Harry's as she slid his hand to cup her right breast, her hand sliding down to his groin as they heard the front door open carefully. Soon even though Harry was being quite skillfully kissed by Daphne he heard the mocking laughter of Draco followed by his smug voice. "Oh graciousness what is the deal with all the Slytherin Girls going for Gryffindors."

Daphne stopped and stood up putting herself away she smirked, "I got Potter isolated for you Malfoy. All alone. Consider it a gift." Harry had just begun to get excited when Draco and his friends came in so had to put himself away. While Draco watched with a hungry look in his eyes.
"Oh it seemed like he was the one getting to do most of the unwrapping." Draco sneered. "See if the lovebirds really were alone." He ordered his companions.

"Did you really think I couldn't get this smug prick alone?"

"As close as the mudblood hangs on him you'd think she was a leech." Draco said in disgust.

Harry jumped up, "You watch what you say about Hermione."

"Oh excuse me. I suppose you're going to come slap me for talking about your little whore." Draco sarcastically declared.

"I'll do more than slap you." Harry threatened.

Draco put his hands to his cheeks quickly, "Oh really? Maybe you'll make it a word and a blow." He campily said before sneering. "As interesting as it is Greengrass what exactly were your intentions here?"

"I was going to see what all of the fuss among the girls is about him then bind him and send for you. We could execute him right now and no one would know for several hours." Daphne said with a cold smile in an eager tone.

Draco sighed, "As wonderful as that thought might be I'm afraid I can't accept the gift. Nor may I allow someone else to perform the act either."

Daphne had pulled her bra over her bosom but left her shirt unbuttoned as she slunk over to Draco and hung on his left arm, "Oh really Malfoy? And I went to the trouble to seduce him into getting the stuffy little mudblood and the loony fruitbat to leave us alone."
"He's reserved for the Dark Lord himself. He wants to deal with him personally." Draco sneered, "Does that make you feel important Potter? That the Dark Lord himself wants to end you personally?"

"Oh I'm honored. I look forward to reducing him to a bodiless spirit once again." Harry sneered crossing his arms.

Seeing his companions return with a head shake Draco looked down to Daphne's Fendi bra clad bosom then up into her pale blue eyes. "Perhaps you and I could become better acquainted finally Greengrass? As you seem to have come to your senses."

"Yes. I'd like that, only let's go somewhere a bit less, common shall we?" Daphne purred into Draco's ear.

They four of them left. Draco making a shooting gesture with his wand hand at Harry as he did so.

"Hermione?" Harry called as he climbed the stairs quickly.

Stepping into the hallway Hermione frowned, "Okay. We managed to hide from them, what did we miss?"
"Daphne covered by claiming she seduced me here to tie me up and give me as a gift to Draco."
Luna nodded, "Yes he would enjoy that."

Harry raised his eyebrows briefly before shaking his head and saying, "Right, anyways. He believed her and they left. But not before saying that I'm reserved for the Dark Lord to kill."
"Well that's not good. We need to get those stupid Horcrux found and destroyed." Hermione declared biting her lip.

"And how are we going to do that?" Luna asked honestly.

"We need to go have a talk with Snape. He might be able to shed some light on things." Hermione said thoughtfully.
"Snape? Really?" Harry disgustedly asked.

Hermione smiled broadly, "Yes Snape."

Soliel Sidus: Yes Margaret is that sort of teep. Its not just the fics I'm this big a sci-fi geek in reality too. Thank you. I thought Harry would definitely take the role of Riker. I agree we need more Nevilles and Harrys and fewer Rons or Dracos. I'm sure there is plenty for you to be confident about. Just seek it and find it, I'm sure its within you. As for the bad memories I hope what happened to Pansy was a bit cathartic.

Manwe Illuvatarian: There is a war on. It can't be sexy time all the time. Although some sexy time will still occur.

Jadesabrexiv: Ahh cousins. Yes indeed they make life interesting. I know what it feels like to hang upside down from a five point harness in a jeep thanks to my cousin. Draco is definitely not the usual stupid smarmy git in this story. And thank you. I do like to have wheels turning and not always in the same direction. It does sometimes get a bit hectic but in the end as long as its fun its all good.

Qhaq: Thank you.

IdlemanRPG: Ahh then we see her unbound in this chapter. I also was thinking of how some of the other characters looked and thought of Meghan Tairnor from the music video All about that Base for Lavender. Maybe a bit bustier but that general body type.

Rifannuari95: I thought I did already?
