Potion Master's Quarters

Late Evening (Immediately after the prior scene)

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?

He swore softly, cursing the fact that Dumbledore was out of the castle and wouldn't be returning until right before school started. There was nobody else he could speak to about his discovery, and it wasn't something he was going to trust to the floo or a letter!

Unfortunately for the Potions Master, he made the mistake of speaking his thoughts out loud, not realizing that he wasn't as alone as he believed. But that wasn't really a surprise, because almost no-one pays any attention to house elves. After all, it's part of their nature not to be noticed.

It was just Severus Snape's misfortune that he had attracted the enmity of a young man that was practically worshiped by a particular elf, one that would do anything for him. A young man who, with his Alpha, were well aware of Severus' suspicious nature and planned for it. The two of them had given this elf specific orders, orders the elf was thrilled to follow. It was a simple matter of watching and listening to a bitter, spiteful man, an easy task for the elf.

The orders were to watch and listen, and if the man tried to contact anyone, to move to the next part of his orders. So Dobby watched and waited...

Harry's Room

Morning

It wasn't the sound of birds chirping, or the sunlight that came through the open window above his head that woke him, although they were certainly present. It wasn't even pressure from his bladder, he'd gotten up earlier and taken care of that before falling back to sleep. No it was something far more enjoyable, something he decided that he wanted to experience as often as possible.

It seemed that Cho had woken up before he did, and was still deep in the submissive mindset from the night before, because she had slid under the covers and was using her mouth on his cock, humming happily as she sucked him. The rational part of his mind was impressed that she had really improved since her first fumbling attempts on Saturday night. She had been eager but nervous then, but now she was easily Daphne's equal at pleasuring him.

Of course, Cho already had far more experience with him personally than Daphne had, since he had to split his attention between Narcissa, Anastasia and Daphne, while Cho had his undivided attention, and

they had shagged for hours, with only a brief nap until nearly midnight the night before. His eyes opened as it hit him just what they had been doing before they fell asleep, Cho had been tied face down to the bed, her knickers stuffed in her mouth as he buggered her for the third time! She had actually climaxed steadily as he was taking her arse, and he was sure that if she hadn't been gagged her pleased cries would have strained the silencing charms around the room.

It didn't take long until her attention had his balls tightening and he swelled in her mouth, the first jet of cum splashing against the back of her throat. She didn't pause, just swallowing smoothly until he was finished, before looking up at him with her eyes full of devotion. Cho released him from her mouth and started licking him clean and then placed a soft kiss on the head of his cock.

"Good Morning, Master. Did you sleep well?" She asked, a happy smile on her face.

He chuckled, "Wonderfully, Cho, and I greatly enjoyed your wake up. But now, I need you to brush your teeth and prepare my bath. We need to get some breakfast before you leave."

She nodded obediently and slid out of the bed, padding naked into the bathroom. Harry watched her appreciatively, before looking up to see Midnight glaring tiredly at him. He smirked at the cat, "Sorry you had to sleep up there last night, girl, but you can use your pillow when we leave."

Midnight just kept glaring at him, before she deliberately turned her back on him and went back to sleep. He shook his head with a grin, amused by her antics, before heading to the bathroom.

YOTC & YOTC & YOTC

When she heard the bathroom door closed, Midnight sat up and yawned, glaring towards the bathroom, before she stopped and shook her head. She really needed to find a way to let Master know who she was, she wanted to be able to sleep on her pillow again! Sure, it was fun watching him shagging Cho through the bed, but the girl was using her pillow, and that wasn't right! And even worse, they kept going so late that she wasn't able to sneak out and visit Narcissa. Bella needed to talk to her sister, because Narcissa was always better at making plans than she was, even though she hated to admit it. Bella knew that she had an unfortunate tendency to be rather Gryffindorish at times, although she would happily curse anyone who called her that to her face.

She also needed to find a way to talk to Master, as well as her old Master, to find a way to help prevent the future that Mistress Hermione had experienced. And, well, if Master decided to punish her for deceiving him, she would accept that, but hopefully he would at least shag her when he finished. Her fingers just weren't doing it for her any longer.

Yawning again, she curled up on top of the cupboard and fell into a light doze.

YOTC & YOTC & YOTC

Cho's mind was whirling as she understood what Master was telling her. She hadn't expected anything like this to happen when she woke up this morning. She had woken after the best night sleep she could remember, her dreams wonderfully filled with her serving her Master, and pleasing him by serving Mistress Hermione, as well as the others he wanted her to serve, although she hoped he wouldn't want her to serve Snape! She didn't think he would, because it was clear that he hated the Potions Professor even more than she did. But when she woke, she remembered how much pleasure he had given her, and it only seemed right that she use her mouth to show her appreciation, and she was thrilled that she was able to swallow all of his beautiful seed.

She had expected his order to prepare a bath, and honestly, she rather enjoyed doing it, feeling his enjoyment as she washed him sent a thrill throughout her body. It was while she was washing him that he started explain what he would expect of her during her training, and there was nothing that concerned her, even the idea of Master piercing her was rather exciting.

She had even accepted the idea that he would be using a crop on her, because it pleased him to show her the connection between pain and pleasure, and Master promised to start slowly to allow her to adjust to the sensations. She wasn't looking forward to that part of her training, but her was her Master and she accepted that he knew what he was doing.

No, none of that had shocked her at all, it was when he told her that he was not willing to have her sleeping apart from him, and was going to speak to her mother about a formal relationship between the two of them! She was almost speechless from happiness, all she could do was nod, and when he pulled her into his arms and kissed her? She felt like she could float away from happiness. Life was beautiful!

The Rookery

Ottery St Catchpole, Devon

Same Time

Luna was singing in the kitchen as she prepared their breakfast, and Hermione listened, a fond smile on her face. It had been so nice having Luna in her arms again, without the terror of the war pressing down on them. The two of them had enjoyed themselves most of the day and evening yesterday, falling easily into their roles of Mistress and Pet, with Luna eagerly stripping out of her clothing using the shaving spell to remove the hair covering her before draping herself over Mistress's lap for a welcoming spanking. The blonde had practically soaked Hermione's lap with her juices, so of course she had to lick them all up before being given permission to pleasure her Mistress.

Eventually they fell asleep in each others arms, and Hermione held her love as she cried out through the nightmares of the future. She knew exactly what Luna was going through, because she had several terror filled nights when she first work up in her 16 year old body. It was the nightmares, more than anything else, that convinced her parents that she really was an adult no matter what age she looked like. After a while, Luna's nightmares eased and she fell deeper into her dreams, which let Hermione fall into a doze at last.

When she woke up, Luna was still wrapped in her arms, and Hermione smiled. The two of them were together, and Harry was already away from his relatives and enjoying his summer for a change. Granted, learning what had happened to her best friend had been more than a bit of a shock, but the oath he had sworn had removed her worries completely.

She had been thinking about the next steps when Luna shifted in her arms, and she knew that one of the first things the two of them needed to do was find a way to change how Luna was treated in Ravenclaw. She wasn't going to allow her lover, her pet, to be mistreated any longer! Fortunately she had an idea, it would take a good deal of work for Luna to refresh her memory, but since she was already 16 her magic would be able to handle the work in the elective classes. Something they could talk about later, when they were both awake.

Hermione was still thinking when Luna woke up, and after the girl had said what she called a 'proper good morning' with her mouth between Hermione's thighs, the two of them had gotten out of bed and Hermione had dressed, Luna didn't bother, and went down to have some breakfast.

It was while they were eating that Hermione said, "How well did you get along with the girls in the year above you, Luna? Padma, Lisa and the others?"

Luna paused, chewing on her toast thoughtfully, "They basically ignored me, Mistress, none of them were part of the bullying, but they weren't particularly friendly either. Although I did become friendlier with Padma and Cho during the DA, why?"

Hermione frowned slightly, "That's not as good as I was hoping, damn it. But I was thinking about your situation in the Aerie last school year, and how it could be improved. I thought that if you were willing to refresh your memories of the second year work you could test out to be moved up a year, get you out of the dorm with those bitches who bullied you."

The blonde shrugged, "I can handle the work easily, I was already well ahead in my studies even before you gave me the memories, but wouldn't it be easier if I just tried to get resorted into Gryffindor? The hat said I could go into either house, but I chose Ravenclaw because mummy and daddy had been there." She suddenly grinned, "Besides, it will make it easier when you and Master seduce and claim Ginny next year, won't it?"

Hermione laughed, "True, but this year I'm more interested in Lavender and Parvati, and that will bring in Padma as well. Harry has already got Cho practically begging for his collar, and will probably be adding Edgecombe before the end of September."

Luna smirked, "So, if I'm counting right, Master already has Cho, Daphne Greengrass, me, and that's just in the castle, plus Narcissa, Anastasia, Tonks, and the twin sisters at Madame Malkin's, plus the other girls that the two of you are planning on adding? Will he actually have any time to do his school work?"

"Don't forget Fleur and Gabrielle, or rather 'Good Girl' and 'Brat', but they won't arrive until the Yule holidays, both of them already know that they will be spending time in Harry's bed as well as mine, and are looking forward to it."

Luna chuckled, "So am I, Mistress, so am I! I told you that I had a crush on Fleur during the Tri-Wizard, and I like her even better now that I know she belongs to you."

"And I'm sure that both of them will love meeting you, my girl. But, as much as I would love to take you back upstairs and spend the day in bed with you, I've got some things that I need to do to get ready for the express, so I'm going have to leave for now. While I'm gone, I want you to pack up everything you want to take with you to Hogwarts. I'll be back at the Leaky Cauldron by about 4 o'clock, and I want you to bring your trunk and meet me at the Leaky at dinner time. I'm going to talk to your Master and explain the situation, so he will be ready to claim you properly. Of course, it's very possible that you will also get to see a very different side of Cho than you are used to." She chuckled, "I think if Harry had told her to, she would have gone down on me right in the public area of the Leaky yesterday!"

Luna laughed, "Quite a change from the girl we knew before, Mistress. I'm sure she's a lot happier now that Master is giving her what she needs."

Hermione just grinned and pulled Luna into a kiss before heading for the floo. She really did have things to do this morning, as much as she would love to spend the day in bed.

9:00 am

Narcissa smiled slightly, setting down the quill and folding up the note and sealing it. It would be nice to be able to let Master know that the downfall of the Crouch's was started. She was certain that Rita would put the proper slant on things, especially now that Lucius was gone.

The reporter had sent her a nicely worded letter of condolence on the death of her husband and his spawn, but both of them knew that Rita had hated Lucius even more than she had. The two of them had spent several afternoon's in Rita's bed, where she spun more and more intricate plots to ruin Lucius for what he did to her. It wasn't that Rita had a problem with, as she put it 'a mind blowing shag', but Lucius didn't even bother ensuring she was comfortable, let alone enjoying herself. It might be worthwhile discussing the woman with Master, it would be helpful to have a pet reporter, especially one who had her particular gifts, when they needed to influence public opinion.

Calling one of her elves, Narcissa had it take the invitation to Rita and wait for a reply. Hearing the floo activate, she heard her sister Andromeda calling her name. Standing, she straightened her robes and checked her appearance in the mirror before stepping into the entryway.

"Good Morning, Andi, thank you for answering my note." She said, a friendly smile on her face. Tapping her wand to the control rune, she nodded, "I've opened the passage, you can step through now."

Andromeda Tonks stepped through the flames gracefully, looking around curiously before turning to face her younger sister.

"Okay, I'm here, why did you get into contact with me now, after ignoring me for all these years?"

Narcissa flushed, she really wasn't proud of that, but, she did need Andromeda's help, and her discretion, so she said, "I apologize for that, I actually did want to contact you several times since the night you left, but I was honestly still so angry with you for having the courage to do what I couldn't do. But with Bella dying, and then Lucius and Draco... Well, I don't have enough family left that I can just ignore your existence."

Her sister looked at her for a long moment before smirking, "Very nice, now why don't you cut the crap, as Ted likes to say, and tell me what's really going on?"

Narcissa laughed lightly, "That's actually the truth, but there's more to it. But, before I get to the main reason I contacted you, I'm going to have to ask for your oath as a healer to keep what you see and hear a secret until I tell you otherwise. I'm willing to offer an oath that what I'm asking will not cause any harm to you or your family. You'll understand when you give the oath."

"It must be serious if you're offering an oath, but I'll take your word for it for now." Raising her wand so it was pointing at the ceiling, Andromeda gave the oath and Narcissa grinned at her.

"Thank you Andi, now, follow me and prepare yourself for a shock."

Leading her sister up the stairs, she paused outside of the closed door to Sirius's bedroom. Opening the door she stepped aside to let Andromeda enter, waiting for the explosion. It wasn't long in coming.

"Sirius! What the Hell?" She started to pull her wand, but Narcissa had been expecting that reaction and was gripping Andromeda's wrist before she could get it clear of her pocket.

"He's not the traitor, he wasn't the Potter's secret keeper, Harry Potter is the one who brought him to me to help. Release the wand and we'll give you the whole story, are you willing to listen?"

Andromeda's lips were tight with anger, and she was staring at her cousin with hatred in her eyes, making Narcissa worry that she would need to stun her sister, and that would set all of their plans back. Eventually though, Andi relaxed slightly, releasing her grip on her wand. "This better be damned good, or I swear I will kill him right here and now!"

Twenty minutes later, Narcissa, with help from Sirius, managed to tell her almost the whole story. They didn't say anything about Hermione's time travel, or Harry's extra memories and personality, but at the end of it, Andromeda was shaking her head in disgust. "Typical, absolutely typical. And Dumbledore, instead of pushing for a trial, just lets it get swept under the rug? Bagnold is dead, so she's untouchable, but tell me that Crouch isn't going to get away with this!"

Narcissa laughed, "Oh, Barty is in for a great deal of trouble in the near future, but I'm not going to say anything more, you can read it in the Prophet when it happens."

Andromeda's grin was almost shark-like, "I'm looking forward to it. But, I do need to examine Sirius and determine a treatment schedule, so, if you'll let me get to it, I'll see you when I'm finished."

Narcissa nodded and stepped out of the room, shutting the door behind her as she heard the beginning of Andromeda's ranting at Sirius. Better him than me, she thought, having been on the receiving end of Andi's temper in the past.

When she got back to her seat, the elf she had sent to Rita was waiting, a piece of paper in her hand, which the elf handed to her. Reading it quickly, she smirked, Barty Crouch had no idea just what was going to hit him!

Taking her seat, she called for a cup of tea and went over exactly what she was going to tell Rita. It wasn't going to be the whole story, of course, but enough to point her in the right direction. She knew the other woman well enough to recognize just how tenacious she could be when on the trail of a bit of scandal. It was going to be quite entertaining to watch the sanctimonious bastard being raked over the coals before getting thrown into Azkaban. Oh yes indeed!

Chang's Apothecary

Diagon Alley

Late Morning

Mei looked up as the chime over the door rang, and she bit back a laugh seeing how her daughter was walking, and the huge smile on her face. Calling her assistant Gina to take over the counter, she waved for Cho and Harry to join her in the back of the shop.

When the three of them were sitting and Mei's elf had prepared tea for them, she sat back with a grin and said, "I don't even have to ask how last night went, do I Cho?"

Her daughter surprised her, Cho didn't even blush, just smiling widely and shaking her head. Mei glanced over at Harry, to see his reaction, because most men would be preening and generally acting the arse after managing to satisfy their partner, but he was just smiling affectionately at Cho, his arm around her shoulder. 'Impressive' she thought, before saying,

"Thank you for taking care of my daughter and walking her home, that was more than I expected, to be honest." She deliberately didn't thank him for giving Cho a wonderful first time, Cho had probably thanked his brains out already, Mei thought with a hidden smirk.

Harry just smiled and nodded, but then he shocked the hell out of her!

"Actually, one of the reasons I walked Cho home was so I could talk to you. I'll be blunt, Cho and I made a deep connection in our time together, and neither of us are interested in being apart when we go back to Hogwarts, or afterward. I've discussed this with Cho, and she is in favor of the idea, but I'm sure you will want to talk to her privately. What I would like to do is sit down with you in the next day or so and discuss a formal arrangement between our families, if that is agreeable to you?"

Mei stared at him for a long moment, before her eyes narrowed, "Did you get my daughter pregnant, Mister Potter? Is that why you want an arrangement already?"

Cho leaned forward, putting her hand on Mei's arm, "Mother, no! It's not like that, Harry is my Master, and my place is at his side. I want this, he isn't forcing me to do anything I don't want to do."

Mei looked Cho in the eyes, and saw the honesty in them, and nodded slowly, before turning to Harry. "I apologize for my reaction, but you have to admit, the two of you are moving very fast, since you were only acquaintances a few days ago. But, I hope you won't object if I do a scan of my daughter. I don't think you are the type to need compulsions, but I need to be certain."

Harry actually smiled, "Congratulations Mei, you are one of the first adults I've met since I rejoined the Wizarding World who actually acts like a responsible adult! Thank you for your concern, and I have absolutely no objections to you checking that Cho is acting of her own free will."

She nodded and pulled her wand, running through the detection spells she had learned. All of them came up normal, and she smiled at the two of them. "I apologize again for doubting you, there are no external compulsions that I can find, although based on the way my daughter's magic is reacting, it's no wonder she's calling you Master! Have you decided what family Cho will be joining?"

Harry looked at her, a confused expression on his face, "I'm sorry, but what do you mean, what family?"

"You don't know? I thought your magical guardian would have explained all this to you by now. It's fairly common knowledge that the Potters are descendants of the Peverell family, and a couple of others that escape me at the moment. I know that your father and mother were looking for a wife for the Peverell family when they went into hiding, so you're going to be expected to continue both the Potter and Peverell lines plus the others."

Harry scowled, "Okay, that's something else I have to look into! I have no idea who my magical guardian is, if I even have one, and I need to check with Gringotts about the other families. You'd think that my account manager would have mentioned it when I spent the day with him going over the Potter family holdings. Damn it!" Turning to Cho, he said, "I'm sorry, but I really need to take care of this, and I don't know how long it will be. Why don't we meet for breakfast tomorrow morning?"

Cho nodded, and Mei said, "Why don't you join us for breakfast tomorrow, Harry? We live above the shop and if you arrive around 7 o'clock, we can eat and we can talk about the arrangement then."

He smiled, "I'll be there!" Pulling Cho into his arms, he kissed her thoroughly, before standing and heading toward the front of the shop.

Once Mei heard the chime of the door, she turned to Cho with an eager grin, "Alright, it's obvious you enjoyed it, but I want details!"

"Mother!"

Diagon Alley

Flourish and Blotts

Late Morning

Hermione smiled as she browsed the stacks of the bookstore, she'd already picked up her course books and an updated copy of Hogwarts, A History naturally, and now was looking for some light reading to entertain herself when her pets aren't available. She had been surprised and a little amused when she discovered a section of the bookstore that she didn't remember from the last time she had been in the store. Walking through the archway, her eyes widened at the rows and rows of nearly pornographic book covers, displaying scenes that would be considered scandalous in the non-magical world!

There were sections showing naked witches, collars around their throats as they knelt before wizards, naked wizards kneeling before witches, even wizards kneeling before other wizards. None of those held her attention for long, before she found the section that really intrigued her, where witches were kneeling to another witch!

Her eyes widened and she licked her lips when she found a series that had two gorgeous blondes kneeling before their Mistress, ecstatic smiles on their faces as they kissed each other. Glancing at the title of the first book, she grabbed it immediately, as well as the other books in the series. How could she avoid it, the first book was called 'Claiming the Veela Sisters'! Putting the other books in her basket, she opened the first one, skimming through the first few pages before nodding in satisfaction and putting it in her basket as well. She wasn't going to spend her money on poorly written dreck, after all!

She was about to take her purchases up to the counter when she heard a soft moan coming from the next aisle over, and it sounded very familiar! She had heard the same moan many times in the dorm after lights out, and Hermione wondered just what had Lavender so turned on?

Moving quietly, she slipped around the end of the shelf and grinned eagerly, it was Lavender, although the outgoing blonde probably wasn't expecting anybody to see her, because her blouse was unbuttoned and one hand was fondling her tits and the other was under the waistband of her skirt, working feverishly between her legs.

Glancing at the books in the section to see what was affecting her roommate, she bit her lip to keep from laughing, the entire section was dedicated to Harry! There were books that looked like sweet romances, but those didn't have Lavender's attention, no, it was the section called "Slaves of the Boy Who Lived" that had the blonde on the verge of a screaming orgasm. 'This is going to be fun!' Hermione thought, as she approached the girl.

She moved as quietly as she could, but Lavender was so lost in her fantasy that she wouldn't have noticed Snape standing beside her screaming in her ear. When she was directly behind the distracted blonde, Hermione took a look at the book covers that had affected the other girl, and her eyes widened, the cover showed Harry taking a busty blonde from behind, while the blonde was using her mouth on a dusky skinned girl! Just how realistic were these books? And more importantly, did Harry know about them? She didn't think he did, otherwise he would have mentioned them, but they could be useful in Harry's goal of removing the knickers from as many girls as possible before graduation.

Glancing at some of the other books, she frowned slightly, there were books that seemed to show a girl who resembled her standing beside Harry as they dominated different willing witches. Granted, the images were hot as hell, but she was never contacted for permission or payment to use her likeness. Harry was considered a public figure, so they had some leeway, but she certainly wasn't!

It was as she was considering her options that Lavender's moaned changed tone, and Hermione could tell that the girl was close to cumming. Not wanting to attract the attention of any other shoppers, she cast a wordless silencing charm around the two of them, and just in time, because her dorm-mate let loose with a cry and practically collapsed onto the floor, shuddering from the power of her climax.

She stood back, waiting for Lavender to recover, and when she saw awareness in the girl's expression, moved forward and reached out her hand to help her to stand again. Hermione almost laughed at the shocked expression on Lavender's face, but ruthlessly suppressed it, she was Mistress, she was in complete control of the situation and it was time to show it.

"Enjoy yourself, Lavender? Did you enjoy fantasizing about giving yourself to your Master while he made you go down on Parvati? I can help you make that happen you know, Harry has already claimed his first slaves, and they love what he does with them! Do you want me to help you? Because if you do, know that you will be serving me as well. Master Harry and I already share one of his slaves, and she loves kneeling to both of us, and I know you will too, if you have the courage to reach for what you desire. Do you have that courage, Lavender?"

Lavender was staring at her with lust filled eyes, and Hermione knew the answer to the question already. "Go ahead and put yourself together again, I'll be waiting at the counter, so bring your books. You're coming back to my room with me for the afternoon, so I can see if you are worthy of Master Harry."

Turning, she didn't look back. She was fairly certain that Lavender would do what she was told, but if she didn't, it was her loss.

By the time she got to the front of the store, Lavender was standing behind her, her eyes demurely on the ground, and Hermione knew what the girl's decision was.

Early Afternoon

Andromeda actually looked tired when she finally came downstairs, and Narcissa called for an elf to bring her sister something to drink.

Taking a sip, Andi sighed in satisfaction. "Thanks, I needed that. I'm amazed he survived long enough to get anywhere, the way he was. He should start recovering fairly quickly now, but it still leaves the problem of the 'Kiss on Sight' order that Fudge signed."

"Well, once we get our hands on Pettigrew, it should be easy enough to take care of that. It was seeing the picture of the rat with the Weasley's that prompted Sirius to escape in the first place, and we have a plan in place to catch the actual traitor."

Andi looked at her curiously, "That's another thing, Narcissa, since when are you and 'The Boy Who Lived' on such good terms? I remember Nymphadora saying that he and Draco were enemies at Hogwarts."

"Oh, that's quite a story, but, I'm going to need an oath to keep it quiet. When the time is right I'll release you from the oath, but discretion is the key for now."

Andromeda shrugged, "Why not? After the secrets I learned so far, what's another one?"

After the two of them agreed on the wording, Andi gave the oath and picked up her tea, taking a sip.

Narcissa smirked, looking forward to her sister's reaction, "Well, the two of us have been extremely close ever since the day, not long after Lucius and Draco were killed, we spent shagging our brains out in the Master bedroom."

Sure enough, her older sister nearly choked on her drink, sputtering as she stared in shock. "What! You, you actually slept with Harry Bloody Potter? How the hell did that happen?"

Narcissa chuckled throatily, "Oh, trust me, there was very little sleeping involved. As to how it happened, not long after Bella was reported dead I happened to be in Diagon Alley, when this young man approached me...

When she finished, Andromeda opened her mouth to say something, paused, closed her mouth and shook her head, before saying, "I think I need something stronger than wine for this conversation, Narcissa."

Narcissa careful kept her face neutral, even though she really wanted to burst out laughing, before calling for wine for the two of them. Letting her sister take a drink, she waited for Andromeda to swallow before saying, "By the way, I'm not the only member of the family who has been in his bed from what I understand. I've been told that he and Nymphadora have been quite friendly ever since he came of age."

Surprisingly, Andromeda didn't react to that piece of news, she just nodded, "Actually, I was aware of that, she was extremely enthusiastic about the nights she spent with him. Of course, we made sure that Ted was nowhere around for those conversations, I'm sure he thinks she is still a virgin!" She finished with a chuckle, which Narcissa echoed.

"But I was actually more impressed that he managed to bed a pair of twin sisters, for his first time, no less! Hearing what you said about his power does make it less unbelievable though." She shook her head, before taking another drink.

The two of them spent the next hour just catching up, before Andi had to leave, but would be back the next day to check up on Sirius.

After escorting her sister to the floo, Narcissa saw that Dobby had appeared by her seat, clearly waiting for her. "Is there news, Dobby?" She asked calmly and the elf grinned widely,

"Yes Mistress, I watched the Nasty Potions Man and he was starting to write a letter about Great Master Harry Potter, and Dobby followed his orders. He froze the man and made him drink the potion to go to sleep. He's hidden down in the big snake room now, and I took the letter when I left."

Narcissa smiled, "Well done, Dobby! Now I want you to go to Master Harry, and if he is alone or with Mistress Hermione you can give him the news. If not, wait until he is alone to tell him."

When the manic elf popped away, Narcissa raised her glass in silent toast to her Master. They had deliberately let Snape notice things at the funeral, knowing that he would figure out at least part of what was going on. Master still hadn't decided how the man would meet his end, but making him disappear would cause Dumbledore problems, and that would be useful when the time came to permanently retire the old man.

The Leaky Cauldron

Harry's Room

A Few Minutes Later

Harry was stretched out on his bed, Midnight curled up on his chest as he stroked her, talking softly. "I still can't believe it, Midnight, what the hell is Dumbledore playing at? You'd think that letting me know he's my magical guardian is something he would be required to do, wouldn't you? Let alone telling me that I'm responsible for continuing not just the Potter family, but another five fucking families!"

Midnight just looked up at him, and he chuckled, "Too bad you can't speak, Midnight, you're obviously a lot more intelligent than most of the people I have to deal with. But, at least with the marriage laws, nobody will raise an eyebrow at my having concubines. At least, the sheep can think they are under the concubine bond, they don't need to know the truth."

He lay back, staring at the ceiling as he thought. "It's going to raise a hell of a stink when the word gets out that I really am the Heir of Slytherin, especially after the mess last year. But Daphne would fill that role, and she can bring Parkinson and Davis into our bed. And it will be interesting to watch Hermione's seduction of Astoria, especially since the girl is still too young for anything to happen."

He smirked, "Of course, considering how Astoria reacted to me the few times I saw her in the Alley, she might just have plans of her own. Well, we've got time to figure that out. Although, with as close as Hermione and I are, would she be interested in being Lady Potter? Sure, she's not interested in having sex with me, but neither of us would be deprived, with all the ladies in the family. And considering that mum was a muggleborn, it's practically a Potter tradition!"

He closed his eyes, thinking, the Potter family is easy enough, even if Hermione doesn't want to be Lady Potter. Katie Bell hadn't been all that subtle about the fact she was interested, and Cho would be the family concubine, and if Hermione is interested, Katie can be the consort.

The Peverell's, from what Hermione tells me about Luna, she would be a good fit for that family, and it might be entertaining to watch people's heads explode if I claim Narcissa for the Black Family. Of course, once we get Sirius cleared, he'll probably want to have an heir of his own, so I won't have to worry about the Blacks. Still need to find a place for Narcissa though, and Anastasia as well, after Cyrus has his accident...

His thoughts were interrupted by a soft knock on the door, and Hermione's voice calling his name. Midnight sat up and moved to her pillow when he sat up, glaring at him for removing her perch, but Harry ignored the glare, curious as to why Hermione was knocking on the door already, he wasn't expecting her until after dinner.

Opening the door, he was about to ask Hermione what was going on, but then he saw that she wasn't alone. Standing slightly behind her, looking extremely disheveled, was Lavender Brown, her robes open just enough for him to see that she was completely nude underneath!

Hermione grinned at him as she led the girl into the room, and he closed and locked the door, the silence charm going up immediately.

He gave Hermione a questioning look, and she said, "It seems that Lavender is an extremely naughty girl, fantasizing about submitting to Master Harry as he makes her lick Parvati's pussy. I found her playing with herself in Flourish and Blotts, and had to make sure she was good enough to serve you, I hope you don't mind that I tried her out, do you?"

The laughter in Hermione's eyes told him that there was quite a story, but it could wait. He stepped close to Lavender, who had a nervous smile on her face, but he could also see the eagerness in her eyes. Reaching out, he pushed the robes off her shoulders, leaving her standing naked in front of him. He nodded in appreciation before saying "And was she acceptable, Hermione? I know that I like the way she looks, but how are her skills?"

"For a beginner, she is very good, and what she's lacking in experience she makes up for in enthusiasm. I knew that you were interested in enjoying her, so when I saw she was available, and had the proper attitude, I decided to bring her back here for us to enjoy."

"I thought that you had somebody else joining us this evening?" Harry asked, not wanting to use Luna's name in front of Lavender, the girl needed to be trained out of her gossip habit first.

"Oh, she will be joining us after dinner, I sent her a message before letting Lavender cover herself. Our pet is really anxious to serve both of us again, especially after I refreshed her memory last night."

He nodded to understand what she wasn't saying, before turning to Lavender. "Is what Mistress Hermione tells me correct, Lavender? Do you truly desire to serve the two of us? Or is this just a fun adventure to you? We will drive you out of your mind with pleasure either way, but I need to know before we get started."

Lavender looked up at him, her voice soft, "Master, I've wanted nothing more than to belong to you from the first time I experienced your power, when you confronted Draco the night the Chamber was first opened. I've fingered myself to dozens of screaming orgasms picturing you ever since that night! And I really enjoyed serving Mistress Hermione earlier, even if I hadn't ever thought of it before."

"In that case, do you have to be home this evening?"

"Not until 10 o'clock, Master."

Checking the time and seeing that it was just 4:30, he nodded, "We have time then, both your Mistress and I need to clean up, so go and prepare the bath for us. Part of your duties will be to bathe us when we wish."

Lavender nodded and hurried to the bathroom, closing the door behind her. Harry turned to Hermione to find out the rest of the story, but before he could say anything, Dobby popped in, getting their attention.

"Master Harry Potter, Sir? Mistress Narcissa wanted me to let you know that the first part of the plan is complete, Nasty Potions Man is hidden away, sleeping!"

Harry grinned, "Excellent Dobby, thank you! Was their anything else?"

When the elf shook his head, Harry dismissed him, and turned back to Hermione who was watching curiously.

"The greasy bastard is currently under the Draught of the Living Death, and hidden in the Chamber of Secrets until we decide how we want to kill him. I was going to play with him for a while before killing him, but this is a lot easier, and it will cause Dumbledore headaches, which is just a bonus."

Hermione laughed, "Oh that's perfect! The old man will have no idea what happened to his spy, and nobody but you and Dobby have access to the Chamber! This is going to make the next year even better!"

They were both grinning at each other when Lavender stepped out of the bathroom to let them know she was ready. Conversation could wait until later, it was playtime!
