Potion Master's Quarters

Sunday, August 22nd, 1993

Late Evening

Snape had managed to keep his expression impassive ever since he'd left Malfoy Manor, managing to carry on a normal conversation with Minerva when he arrived back in the castle, but now he was alone. Closing the door to his quarters, he locked the door behind him the new robes he'd purchased for the ceremony dropping from his nerveless fingers as he rushed to his private bathroom. He just barely made it to the toilet before the icy terror that had gripped him broke through and he lost everything he'd eaten.

Eventually, he pushed himself to his feet and stumbled over to the sink. Rinsing his mouth and splashing cold water on his face, he was able to push the terror back far enough to allow him to think rationally for the first time since he left Wiltshire.

Walking back into the front room, he picked up his robes and hung them neatly in his wardrobe before unlocking the compartment that held his Pensieve. Carrying the rune-covered bowl to his desk, he set it down carefully and lifted his wand to his temple. Concentrating on the memories that had bothered him, he pulled them one by one from his mind and placed them in the Pensieve.

Closing his eyes, Snape checked his Occlumency shields, and once he was satisfied that they were in place, he closed off as much as possible any emotional connection to the memories and opened his eyes.

Touching the surface of the memories, he found himself standing outside Malfoy Manor at dusk, watching Narcissa as she spoke the ritual words of farewell to Lucius and Draco. Focusing on her body language he frowned, there was something off there. Her face may have been schooled in the appropriate expression for a grieving widow, but she was far too relaxed. Where was the tension that would be the normal reaction?

Moving on from Narcissa, he scanned the mourners who were in attendance, and he stopped at the sight of Potter on the second row. What could have caused Narcissa to invite Potter to the private ceremony? She was well aware of the enmity between both the boy and Lucius as well as Draco, so what purpose did his being there serve?

Was she making a political statement, showing that she was moving the family to the Light? If that was the case why didn't she invite Albus or Augusta Longbottom? No, there was something else going on, there is no way that Narcissa would align herself with the Light, not with how eagerly she and her sister went to Riddle's bed. The two of them were fanatically devoted to the Dark Lord, although Narcissa stayed to the shadows, she wasn't as vicious as Bellatrix was. Not that wasn't perfectly capable of killing when needed, but a slow poison or a dagger in the back was more her style. Or a potions accident...

Snape's eyes widened as he contemplated the idea. Was that what happened? He was well aware that Narcissa was not happy about being forced to marry Lucius, and was no doubt disappointed in Draco's multiple failures over the last several years, but would she go so far as to kill the two of them? And why now? Too many questions without answers and he didn't like that. His ability to figure things out kept him alive and sane while serving the Dark Lord, and if he was missing something vital it could mean an agonizing death when the man returned.

Putting Narcissa aside for the moment, he returned to the memory of Potter. There was something there that shouldn't be there, but what was it? Focusing on Potter's expression, he looked appropriately solemn, but his eyes! He looked amused, as if he knew a joke that nobody else did. And the way his gaze dropped to Narcissa's body wasn't the look of an admiring schoolboy. No, he was looking at her the way a man looks at a woman he's already enjoyed and knew he would be enjoying in the future. He'd seen the expression often enough in his final year as a student when Potter would look at Lily!

But when and how would the brat have the opportunity to even meet Narcissa, let alone execute a seduction? And why would she willingly allow him to have her? He froze, remembering a snatch of gossip that he'd heard a couple of weeks prior, not long after Black escaped and Bellatrix was reported killed. He'd been picking up some fresh fluxweed at Chang's, and heard the girl mentioning to her mother about seeing Potter speaking to Narcissa in the Alley. Was that when it started? But it still didn't answer the question of why, and he could feel in his bones that knowing the answer to that question was far more important than anything else in his life!

There were no answers to be found staring at Potter, and he looked at the other attendees, Fudge and his Under-toad were only to be expected, and Vanessa Zabini and her son, but why were the Greengrass's there? Anastasia had detested Lucius and Daphne had spent at least half her time in the Slytherin Common Room hexing Draco when he annoyed her. Cyrus was no surprise, he had been one of Lucius' toadies, which was a nicer term than catamite, Snape mused.

Examining the two Greengrass women, Anastasia had herself under complete control, nothing to show the pleasure she was certainly feeling at Lucius' death, while Daphne, Daphne had a slightly distracted look on her face. That, and the way her glance would land on Potter before moving back to Narcissa, and the slight smile she was trying to hide? Why would she be interested in Potter, she'd never shown any interest before? And Potter would glance back at both her and Anastasia, with the same confidence that he showed looking at Narcissa!

The ceremony ended and the guests stood to start making their way to edge of the wards, and it was at this point that it happened! Almost in spite of himself, Severus felt the terror building again, because he found himself only a few feet away from Potter, and the boy's eyes fell on him. He nodded at the boy, still distracted by what he had seen, but then he felt a sudden twinge in his Dark Mark and he looked sharply back at the boy, but Potter was looking away, seemingly not paying any attention to him.

Suddenly everything that had been bothering him became clear, and he felt the terror gripping him. He knew that Potter was acting out of character, to send him any letter at all, let alone an apology. And the offer of rendering the Basilisk? It was far too cunning a move, designed to allow the boy to get close to him, and Potter would never have thought of it on his own, no, the boy was being guided. And there was only one being that would be guiding him that would cause his Dark Mark to react. But when did the Dark Lord possess Potter, and what the bloody fucking hell could he do about it?

Harry's Room

Early Afternoon

When the door from the bathroom opened and a naked Cho walked calmly out, followed by Harry,

Bella looked up from her perch on the window ledge, her grin of anticipation hidden by the feline form she was wearing. She'd been waiting to watch Harry claim Cho entirely from the moment the two of them had walked in the room earlier, and Harry cast the silencing charms. It was interesting to see that girl was showing no signs of nervousness, unlike the night before. Cho was eager to give herself to her Master, to do whatever he wanted her to do, and Bella could appreciate the mindset.

Bella was still trying to figure out how to reveal herself to Harry and let him claim her as well. But she had to admit that spending so much time as Midnight seemed to lessen the urgency, she was really enjoying the warmth of the sun on her fur, and the feeling of his hands stroking her, and it was all so much simpler than trying to make plans.

She would need to visit Narcissa later that night and see if her sister had any ideas for revealing herself, because even as lazy as she was feeling, Bella knew that it was important that she choose the time and place to let Harry know the truth.

But those were thoughts for later, things were getting started!

Harry had the girl standing by the edge of the bed, her hands behind her back, and Bella watched as he wandlessly created a Blue and Bronze necktie that he wrapped around Cho's wrists, binding her firmly. Bella could smell the girl getting even more aroused than she already was, and could almost swear that the girl had a mini-climax when Harry put his hands on her shoulders, lowering her to her knees.

Bella watched as Cho opened her mouth and kissed her Master's cock before she started to lick him, and while her skills were lacking, her enthusiasm wasn't. She was sure that Cho's Master would arrange for her to get lots of practice, not only kneeling before him, but probably in front of her mutt of a cousin as well.

She did wonder which pussy Cho would have her tongue in first? Would it be Hermione, the girl Marietta that Cho had mentioned, or even Narcissa? Bella would love to watch the girl using her mouth on her sister, or her niece because Tonks was entertaining to watch when in the midst of an orgasm. Either way, she was sure that Harry would have her tasting quite a few different girls.

It was a shame that he hadn't managed to collect the Indian twins yet, because it would be sexy as hell to watch the two of them entwined with Mary and Elizabeth! Oh well, there was plenty of time, because she was sure that the two older girls would be eager to visit Hogsmeade when their Master called for them.

And then there were those two Veela sisters that Hermione had mentioned. She was sure that Harry would be enjoying them at some point, maybe after she figured out how to reveal herself to him so that Mistress Hermione could play with her and Narcissa at the same time?

Bella was looking forward to tasting Hermione herself, because she was sure that Harry would enjoy watching it.

Harry's hands were toying with Cho's tits as she sucked him, playing with her nipples and lightly pinching them. Bella's eyes narrowed, it looked like a small spark of his magic went from his fingers to her flesh, and triggered another burst of pleasure in the kneeling girl. Interesting, teaching Cho to associate pain with pleasure, Bella wondered where he'd learned that? Her Master had never done that to her, and Bella wondered what it felt like?

Cho seemed to really like it, based on the way she pulled her mouth off of her Master's cock to moan loudly, before taking him back into her mouth and continuing to suck and lick him. Bella was intrigued that Harry was easing her into different ways of serving him, and not just using her mouth. But it did make sense, considering that Cho was still a virgin at this point. No doubt he would be educating her as her training commenced.

Bella watched as Harry tensed and he tapped Cho on the shoulder to get her attention. The girl pulled her face back releasing his cock, before she tilted her head and opened her mouth widely, allowing him to cum directly into her mouth. If she had been in human form Bella would have smirked at how deep Cho's submission ran already, as it was, she just purred softly. Harry stroked himself, the first shot of his sticky white seed landing on the kneeling girl's tongue, which triggered another orgasm in her.

TYOTC & TYOTC & TYOTC

Harry smiled widely as Cho wavered in position, the pleasure she received from serving him showed just how deeply submissive she naturally was. It was going to be a delight to guide her through her training. Of course, he was going to have to introduce her to Narcissa before they got on the Express, so his Alpha could start teaching her other aspects of her duties.

He should also arrange for Mary and Elizabeth to meet with Narcissa as well, the two of them were almost ready to accept their collars, even if they weren't consciously aware of it. He would also need to introduce the two of them to Gnarlspike, because the sisters had expressed an interest in opening their own shop and, once they were collared, he would be financing it, and wanted to make sure they had the best chance of succeeding.

He would also be taking care of Cho's school fees and expenses once he was able to find a socially acceptable way of formalizing their relationship. Having slaves wasn't unknown, but the sheep wouldn't accept their sainted 'Boy Who Lived' openly enslaving women, no matter how willing the women might be. Harry was tempted to tell the whole lot of them to go get buggered, but he would need to keep his reputation clean for the future when he took his place in the Wizengamot.

But that could wait, Cho was starting to recover and it was time to make her completely his. When her eyes cleared and focused on him, he smiled softly, "Well done, Cho, you are getting better at pleasing me. Now, are you ready to give yourself to me?"

Cho smiled widely, nodding, "Yes please, Master, I've been waiting for this for a long time, but didn't know what I was waiting for until you started teaching me."

"When you described your dream, you were bending over the bed, and I want to see you in that position."

She shuffled closer to the bed and struggled to climb to her feet until Harry put his hands on her arms and helped her to stand. It was too much to expect Cho to be able to move gracefully with her arms restrained, at least not yet. From Tom's memories, even Bella stumbled at first but was soon able to take any position he desired.

Moving behind the kneeling girl, Harry ran his fingers over her swollen pussy lips, pulling pleased sighs from Cho's mouth as she wriggled against him. Remembering the spells that Tom would use when he wanted the girl to enjoy her first time, he picked up his wand and pointed it at her entrance. Casting the contraceptive and muscle relaxer, he nodded at the bright blue glow before casting the final spell.

Cho's head came up when she felt the spells, and she said, "Master?"

He chuckled, "Just a couple of spells to ensure you didn't experience any pain from giving yourself to me, plus a contraceptive spell. In time you will be giving me children, but not yet."

She nodded but didn't say anything, and Harry slid his fingers inside her, stretching her slightly and letting a trickle of magic touch the sensitive flesh. Cho shivered and spread her legs wider apart, an invitation he wasn't going to refuse. Gripping his shaft, he rubbed the head of his cock along her wet pussy lips before pushing forward, her lips wrapping around him.

Cho moaned as he slowly entered her, letting her adjust to being filled for the first time. He kept moving forward until he pushed through the barrier, and while she gave a jerk of surprise, that was her only reaction. Once he was completely inside her, he pulled back and moved forward, his hips slapping against her arse cheeks, drawing a happy cry from Cho's lips. She started moving against him, pushing back to take him deeper into her body, her body tightening around him.

Harry reached around and started rubbing her pussy, the tips of his fingers brushing against her clit as they moved together. He could tell by the way she was crying out and moving with him that Cho was very close to peaking, and he was getting close as well. Rubbing his thumb over her clit, he held back until Cho started climaxing before burying himself inside her with a cry.

He exploded inside her welcoming pussy, and Cho shuddered against him as his cum flooded her, her voice hoarse as she babbled her encouragement, before collapsing on the bed, panting.

Pulling out, his cock was still hard and Harry moved so he was sitting beside Cho, his hand stroking her hair. She smiled contentedly, turning her face toward him. When she opened her eyes and saw that he was still hard, she immediately shifted position so she was back between his legs and her mouth was on him.

Harry was surprised, he hadn't expected Cho to react like that so quickly, but he wasn't going to discourage her. She was just as enthusiastic about sucking his cock, even coated with her juices, as she was earlier. Wanting to reward her, he stroked the skin under her jaw and let his magic seep out of his fingers. Cho closed her eyes and moaned around his cock as his magic mixed with hers, sending pulses of pleasure through her body.

He leaned back and enjoyed the feeling of her mouth for a few moments before he tapped her on the shoulder, getting her attention. When she looked up at him questioningly, he smiled down at her, "You are doing a wonderful job serving me Cho, but it's time for you to give the last of yourself to me."

Realization shone in her eyes and she pulled back, an eager smile on her face. Without any further prompting, she moved back into position and spread her legs again. Casting the spells to clean and stretch her arse, he put the head of his cock at her last virgin hole and pressed forward.

TYOTC & TYOTC & TYOTC

Cho bit her lip to keep from moaning as Master entered her last hole, claiming her completely. She'd already experienced more pleasure than she thought was possible from the moment they walked into his room, and now she was serving him in such an intimate way! She'd absolutely loved the way he took her innocence, it was even more satisfying than she had dreamed the night before. The way that she was wrapped in his power and love made her magic sing in her blood, and Cho knew that she was where she belonged at last!

She'd been eager to give herself to her Master, and the way he made sure that there was no pain when he entered her proved she'd made the right decision. She'd heard several of the other girls talking about how losing their virginity had been a painful experience, and Cho felt a bit of pity that they didn't have the good fortune to be claimed by Master. But then, she was already planning on bringing Mari to Master's bed, maybe she should ask him if she should bring Sheila and the other girls? Let them know the pleasure of serving him?

The thoughts of Mari, Sheila, Penelope and the other girls naked in Master's bed were all driven away as she felt his shaft sliding deeper into her arse, the pressure sending signals of pleasure all through her body. The magic he used to prepare her had her completely relaxed and there was absolutely no pain when he stretched her, just an amazing feeling of fullness and completeness, this was what her body was built for, to pleasure her Master.

And she didn't have to leave him tonight! She could spend the night serving him and even sleep in his arms if he desired. She didn't have to be back home until after breakfast in the morning.

Her mother had been surprisingly understanding when they spoke this morning, not raising any objection to Cho's spending the night with Master. Cho hadn't actually meant to refer to Harry as Master in front of her mother, but Mei had just smiled softly and nodded. It was slightly embarrassing to know that her mother had seen her in the middle of her dream, but when she started describing what Master was doing with her, and how much she was enjoying it, the embarrassment faded and her excitement started building again.

Cho managed to finish the conversation before the excitement overwhelmed her, but it was a close-run thing. She'd barely made it to her bedroom and shut the door behind her before she was shoving the robe off her body and her fingers were buried in her quim, pumping furiously. She was sure that her mother knew what she was doing after the loud cry of release that tore from her throat, but Cho didn't care! Calming down, she licked her fingers clean and wondered which of Master's women she would be tasting first?

Taking a shower, Cho made sure that her bottom was as clean as possible knowing what was going to happen later that day. She was actually looking forward to serving Master in such an intimate way, knowing that her willing submission would greatly please him. Remembering the dream, she picked up her wand and used the grooming spell to ensure that she was completely hairless between her legs. The expression of pleasure on Master's face when she displayed herself to him, and he saw her bare skin had sent shivers of delight through her body, knowing that she had pleased him.

Feeling Master's hand smacking her on the arse pulled her out of her memories, and she cried out, the sting a delightful reminder that she belonged to him, even more than the rod of steel that was splitting her so wonderfully. She did her best to move against him, letting him bury his cock completely in her body, and she could feel him throbbing inside her!

Time had no meaning, there was nothing in the universe besides Master and her, his cock spearing her tightest hole and the beautiful feelings spreading through her body. Cho was dimly aware that Master's other hand was between her legs, his fingers plunging into her and shooting sparks of magic all through her. She felt like his touch searing her very soul, until everything that wasn't Master's slave faded away, leaving her washed in her devotion to him.

An unknown time later, Master swelled inside her, and his love filled her arse, sending her off into another journey of ecstasy. She could hear colors and see sounds, experiences she couldn't describe crashing into her and tearing screams of wonder and joy from her throat until her body felt Master pulling out of her body and she found herself on her knees again. Seeing his hardness before her, she smiled and took him in her mouth again, licking Master clean as he slowly softened. When he was clean, she placed a worshipful kiss on the head and was rewarded by his soft smile. Master gestured and her arms were free once again, and he helped her to her feet, his arms wrapped around her.

She smiled widely as he held her, but then he moved to lay her on the bed his hand brushing her mouth and she felt a cool breeze touching her tongue and lips. Licking her lips, she understood that he had cleaned her mouth, and was thrilled when he leaned down and kissed her. She didn't think she could be happier.

The Leaky Cauldron

Hermione's Room

Same Time

Hermione relaxed naked on the bed, her bath completed, the communication mirror she had charmed floating in the air in front of her. Daddy and Monica were clearly visible, with Daddy fully dressed of course. It didn't bother her at all for Daddy to see her like this, although she did enjoy the hungry look in Monica's eyes. She wondered if Daddy would object to letting Monica and Apolline serve her for a night? She would let him enjoy Good Girl and Brat, of course, but the idea of the two older women on their knees in front of her was rather attractive.

But that could wait until they were face to face at Christmas, it would be a good way to celebrate giving her pet's their collars.

"But yes, Daddy, things are moving along quite well. I did get a bit of shock when I met up with Harry because he's got something in common with you and me, he's already got several girls, and even a couple of adult women ready to wear his collar! That's going to make things a great deal easier since one of the women has a large house that we are using to hide Snuffles until everything is ready."

She smirked, "To make things even more interesting, the woman is the mother of the boy who I was looking to make miserable this year. Apparently, she had an encounter with Harry a few weeks back that really made an impression on her! When Harry introduced her to me, she was happy to demonstrate her skills for me, and she is quite good."

Daddy grinned, "But Harry doesn't have a problem with the fact that you are a lesbian? From what you told us about his background, I would have thought it would have been frowned on by his relatives."

Hermione laughed, "Not in the slightest! He was a bit surprised at first but seeing some of the tamer pictures I took with Good Girl and Brat prepared him. It was the fact that I'm a dominant that surprised him more, but then the prat offered to introduce me to a couple of the girls he was training!"

Daddy and Monica both laughed, and she continued, "I haven't taken him up on it yet, we have too much to do, but it's tempting. They are identical twin sisters and have no problem playing together, or with other girls, so I'll probably be meeting them before we get on the Express next Tuesday. Ron and his family will be arriving on Saturday, so we have to get ready to capture the rat before we can focus on playtime, unfortunately."

Daddy gave her a faux sympathetic look, before laughing, "Well, I'm sure you will find the time somehow, but if there's nothing earth-shaking going on, I'd better let your girls into the room, they're practically peeing themselves to see Mistress."

Hermione laughed and nodded, and soon Fleur and Gabrielle were smiling at her through the mirror.

TYOTC & TYOTC & TYOTC

She was still smiling when she ended the conversation with her girls. They were both excited to meet Master Harry and Cho, and intrigued by the description of Narcissa, especially when she mentioned that the woman had already served her. Hermione could see that both of her girls were planning to show their Mistress that they were much better than any other woman could possibly be! Even if they failed it would certainly be enjoyable, and she knew that Harry would enjoy watching their efforts. Fleur was looking forward to being given to Master Harry since Hermione had told them both so much about him.

Hermione frowned as she considered the casual way she was thinking about 'giving' Fleur to Harry, and wondering at how much she had changed over the years from the girl who crusaded against house-elf slavery. She was very fond of both Fleur and Gabrielle, doing her best to treat them well, but she had already conditioned the two Veela to think of themselves as her property. She hadn't intended to, not at first anyway. It was just supposed to be a few days of fun before she returned to England and started fixing things, but old habits died hard when she started training them the first night in the club.

She had been surprised at the change in Harry because he never showed the skill for dominance at an early age when she knew him the first time, but he had a valid explanation for the difference. Hermione wondered if she had been subconsciously influenced by the time she carried the locket Horcrux? It was only after Voldemort was defeated the first time that she began to explore her dominant desires after all. But even then she wasn't as casual about treating her girls the way she was planning on treating Fleur and Gabrielle, as well as Lavender and Parvati when she claimed them.

And what about Astoria? The Greengrass girl was far too young to be what Hermione remembered, the worthy partner and lover that she had cherished in her old life. At least until Blaise Zabini murdered her, that is.

Well, Narcissa was aware of the Zabini situation, and with a bit of planning, Vanessa Zabini would be broken to Master Harry's cock before the son could become a problem. And if he did, well, she'd already killed Blaise once, a second time wouldn't bother her that much. But what about the other deaths? Snape had to die, that was a given, but what about the others? With Draco dead, could Nott and the others be spared? Did McClaggen need to die this time or Zach Smith?

"Bah! This is ridiculous! Honestly, woman, you realized you'd be getting your hands dirty when you and Luna made your sacrifice, and you accepted it, so why are you worrying about it now?"

She froze, "Luna, oh hell, I'd almost forgotten Luna! I need to make sure Harry has Cho bring her to our compartment on the train. No, it would be better if I visited her before school starts, I'm sure I can find the Rookery easy enough. What time is it?"

Casting the 'Tempus' spell, she grinned, it wasn't even dinner time. Dressing quickly, she opened the secret compartment of her purse and checked that the milky white jewel was where it was supposed to be. Closing the purse, she closed her eyes and concentrated on the front walk to her friend's house and with a slight pop of displaced air, disappeared.

The Leaky Cauldron

Harry's Room

Same Time

Harry's smile was fixed on his face as he watched Cho sleeping peacefully on the bed, but his mind was racing. He'd casually scanned her thoughts after he released her, and the depths of her devotion stunned him. He didn't know if Cho was naturally that submissive, or if something he wasn't aware of was causing the change in the girl. He would need to watch carefully how Cho reacted when she woke up, to see if the devotion was still there, or if her personality reasserted itself. He was inclined to think that it was something that was already part of Cho's personality, because Mary, Elizabeth, and Tonks never went that deep in the multiple times they'd been in his bed, and Daphne wasn't changed either.

Tom may have demanded mindless obedience from his followers and slaves toward the end, but he had admitted during one of their dream conversations that he was more than a little insane by the time Snape brought the prophecy to him. That was why he was pleased that Narcissa had been willing to question him when they told her the truth. And even more that Hermione, even though she had scared the crap out of him earlier, knew the truth and could be counted on to keep him on the right path.

Harry hadn't been lying, he had no intention of going any darker than he already was, and certainly wasn't planning to conquer the Wizarding World. He just wanted to get through school, kill Snape, destroy the version of Voldemort that is out there, and bed as many willing women as he could manage. The rest of the world could worry about itself until he was old enough to take the family seat in the Wizengamot and start making changes.

He would need to talk to Narcissa about what changes would be best to start with since she and Anastasia were the most familiar with the different power blocs in the Wizengamot. Anastasia would be able to assist them, but until Cyrus had his broom accident she wouldn't be able to openly join their bloc. Daphne, now that would be a bit delicate until Snape was removed, but once the man was dead she would be able to join him publicly, and with Hermione's knowledge they can start removing the barriers between the Houses that are the cause of so many of their problems.

Harry smile changed to a smirk, of course, he and Hermione's method of removing barriers, by removing knickers, would probably raise a few eyebrows, but that could be dealt with.

He was still thinking about the different girls who would find themselves in his or Hermione's bed over the next several months when he fell into a doze.

Greengrass Manor

Outside London

Monday, August 23rd, 1993

Early Evening

Daphne sighed as she lowered her body into the steaming waters of the bath, nodding at her mother who was already in the tub. Cyrus had already drunk himself into a stupor and was passed out in his lounge, an elf watching to see that he didn't injure himself, and Astoria was spending a few days with her friend Romilda Vane. Ordinarily, she and her mother would have commented about Astoria spending time with a Gryffindor, but considering what a certain Gryffindor had been doing with the two of them the day before, it would have been more than a little hypocritical.

It was just that Gryffindor that Daphne wanted to discuss, and, taking a sip of her wine she said, "Was it like that before? Because that was beyond anything I'd ever experienced in my life!"

Anastasia chuckled, with made her breasts come out of the water, as she shook her head, "Oh Daphne, that was positively tame compared to some of the nights Narcissa, Bella and I spent in Master's bed! But yes, the absolute power and dominance was is the same, and the knowledge deep in your soul that you have found the only man who could ever satisfy you? That was the same, but this time is even better because Our Lord isn't afflicted with the madness that caused his downfall the last time. He is planning to work through the system, using the advantages his family name gives him so that he can take his rightful place in our society. And we will be right there beside him, serving him and receiving the rewards he gives us."

Daphne nodded, "I had figured that much out for myself, but I'm more interested in what other women he is going to be bringing into his bed? Because even with you and Narcissa there, I was still exhausted and he was ready for more! I thought you might have been exaggerating when you described his stamina, but you weren't, were you?"

Her mother laughed lightly, shaking her head, "No, not at all, but don't worry, you'll find your stamina and appetite increases with experience. After all, you've only had the miserable excuses for wizards in Slytherin to deal with, and if they ever managed to satisfy a woman it was by accident!"

Daphne smirked and nodded, "Honestly, the only decent experience I had before yesterday was when I stumbled on Percy Weasley and his girlfriend at the end of last year. It's a good thing that my magic had already settled because the two of them shagged me seven ways from Sunday!" She shook her head, "It's too bad that the Weasley in our year is so anti-Slytherin, it would have been interesting to see if Percy's skills were shared by his brothers. Oh well, I'm going to be busy enough with our Lord that I won't have time for comparisons."

Anastasia frowned, "Actually, that may not be correct. If it serves our Master's purposes, you may find yourself being given to Weasley or Longbottom or one of his other allies. It didn't happen very often, but there were times when our Master needed something done and subtlety was called for, so one of us would find ourselves using our bodies to bring about the desired outcome."

Daphne sat silently in the water for a moment, digesting that, before nodding, "Not really a surprise, you taught us from the beginning that using whatever was necessary to achieve our goals is the Slytherin way, and our Master's goals are our goals, aren't they?"

"That's true, and I'm glad you are approaching things logically. Narcissa, Bella and I were a bit older and more experienced when Master first let others touch us, I was concerned that you might not understand the necessity yet."

Daphne didn't say anything, she'd been aware that it would be a possibility already, Master had casually mentioned it while she was bathing him the day before. She wasn't necessarily excited about the prospect but understood why it would be a useful option to have available. Of course, she told herself that if it was that unpleasant an experience, she would ask permission to personally kill the man after he was no longer useful.

The Rookery

Ottery St Catchpole, Devon

Earlier the Afternoon

Luna was sitting in the afternoon sun, a sketch pad on her lap when Hermione appeared at the end of the walk. The younger girl looked up quizzically when she heard the soft 'pop' of apparation, and smiled, putting the pad aside as she rose to her feet. Walking forward, she said, "Hello Hermione Granger, I was wondering why I dreamed about you and Harry Potter last night, but I knew it was important."

Hermione smiled widely, pulling the girl into a tight hug. "Oh Luna, if you only knew! But I'm very glad to see again, and you'll understand why in just a minute." Opening her purse, she retrieved the milky gem and held in in the palm of her hand, showing Luna that it was touching her bare skin. "You're going to want to be sitting down for this my sweet Luna, it's going to be a shock."

Luna looked in her eyes searchingly, but not finding any sign of deceit or maliciousness, she nodded and moved back to her chair and sat down, holding out her hand. Hermione took the seat next to her and set the gem in the palm of Luna's hand, gently wrapping the girl's fingers around it. Luna looked at her hand briefly, and then at Hermione, her mouth coming open to say something when she stiffened, her eyes slamming closed and falling back in the seat.

Hermione's heart ached for the girl who had become her best friend as the memories of the next 20 years flooded Luna's mind. They had been horrible enough to live through, but to experience all of them in a matter of seconds? Reaching out, she pulled the shaking girl into her arms, wandlessly casting a notice me not spell around the two of them, and held her as she cried.

Eventually, Luna calmed down, the tears drying up, being replaced by a look of determination in her silver-gray eyes. "Where's Harry? We need to get him away from those people before they do any more damage to him!"

Hermione chuckled, "Already done, this world isn't exactly the same as the one we escaped from. To start with, Draco and Lucius are already dead and their ashes are in the Malfoy vault. Harry has been in Diagon Alley for almost a month. As for where he is? He's probably shagging Cho Chang for the third or fourth time by now. The girl was already practically begging him to put a collar on her, and they were only together for the first time a day or so ago!"

Luna snickered, "Poor Cedric will have to make do with his hand this time, I guess. But I'm glad that Harry is already developing his skills, it will make things a lot more fun when he takes me to bed this time. It was wonderful the first time, of course, but he was too uncertain to be what we both needed. It got better, naturally, but I'm happy I won't have to coach him this time."

Hermione smiled, "No, you won't need to coach him. But I'll admit I'm going to miss having you in my bed or over my lap when you're with your Master. Those nights were the only thing that kept me sane after Harry, and then Astoria..."

Luna looked at her, surprised. "Why would you miss me? You know that Harry would want to make sure you were happy, so why do you think he would keep you from enjoying me? And even if you don't like the idea of Harry touching you, there's no reason you both couldn't enjoy me at the same time, is there?"

Hermione gaped at her, but Luna just shook her head, "Hermione, Mistress, I love you, as much as I love Harry. I would never have been willing to sacrifice myself otherwise, I thought you knew that. We never said the words, but the feeling was there, wasn't it?"

"Yes love, the feelings were there. I didn't want them to be, I felt it was disrespectful to Astoria and Harry, but I love you too. But, speaking of Harry, there are things you need to know. I'm sorry to ask, but I'm going to need to ask you for an oath, because he has secrets as great as we do, and people would see him dead if they knew the truth."

After the oath was sworn and Luna absorbed the changes in Harry, she looked sick with worry until Hermione told her about the oath that Harry had given her, which made her relax at last.

"Bugger! Things are even more complicated than we'd thought, aren't they? I was hoping we'd arrive back in our own past, the way the Doctor always seemed to, but we didn't. Oh well, we're here now, and things are already being changed, so buckle up, Hermione, it's going to be a bumpy ride!"

Hermione glared at the girl, "Honestly Luna, combining the Doctor and Bette Davis movies? I really wish I hadn't introduced you to my video collection!"

Luna looked at her innocently, but Hermione could see the twitching at the corners of her mouth, "But Hermione, if you hadn't shown me that movie about the Secretary, I'd never have ended up over your lap, and we would have missed out on all the fun we had. You don't want that, do you?"

Hermione just stared at her, before she started laughing, "You are such a brat, Luna, you know that, don't you? If it weren't for the risk to your magic I'd put you over my lap right here and now!"

"Don't let that stop you, Mistress. Don't forget that I turned 16 only a couple of days after Harry did, but losing mamma made me start Hogwarts a year later."

Hermione blinked, "Oh, right. I did know that, but we were both far older than that the first time, so I didn't think about the age issue. But won't your father object to me molesting you in his house?"

Luna shook her head with a grin, "Daddy is off on one of his expeditions, I think he was searching Amsterdam for the Humongous Gazongas, and I convinced him to leave me behind. I do hope he's successful, he's been awfully lonely since mamma died."

"Humongous Gazongas, Luna? Really? In that case, I think you need to take me inside and show me your room, don't you?"

Luna smiled widely, "Of course, Mistress!"
