Even as the situation at Hogwarts twisted and turned, Harry's two minions slash apprentices were savoring the freedom that came without explicit instructions to adhere to. Oh they liked the freedom that the opposite was as well but this let them indulge their creativity. Besides Sarah was a great source of both knowledge and items to explore with. There had been several things that they knew instinctively from their connection that their master had no interest in and were more than eager to allow Sarah to fulfill those kinks and experiments.
Well that and the usual school age drama in who was running the kids in the town. They didn't have a section that normally was for the rich and often was on higher hills than the common drudges lived in. Dudley was a few apples short of an orchard and keeping him in line was a pain as well as the other rival factions. It was funny that the one boy constantly discredited when he was younger had brought his fist down on any idiot trying to organize a gang.
So Big D and his crew as they to everyone's humor called themselves were kept down by the two rival factions. Alice had inherited and expanded the group of informants and couriers made of the girls that Harry had reluctantly kept out of Dudders way. The other was a very disciplined and tight group that deserved to be called a crew as they ran with a precision that union foremen would find efficient. Jonathan J. or Johnny J. to his friends and John to his peers was a boy with a plan. He also had a lock on the boys that already had gotten over or had very short times in the girls were icky phase.
Unlike the disdain both had for Dudley, the two had a mutual respect for each other. Their main contention was over two points: who ran the place and whose girls they were. Yes John was rather annoyed that Alice had snagged every one of the ready and willing girls and left only the very late bloomers uncounted. So when Alice had come up with a two bird with one stone idea she had pitched it to the head of the increasingly frustrated with their hands group. Alice had seized the opportunity to allow Sarah to indulge in her more difficult to hide interests while getting some more funds available.
It hadn't been that they had been promised one of her new and still being broken in playmates. She really didn't think that they would have room to complain or more likely time. Sarah had almost drained them of their strength with how insatiable she had been without her former user's pool of victims and Alice had felt a savage glee that her rival had likely bit off more than he could chew. Add to that it sounded like something that would be very arousing to watch and things had readily been prepared.
'It does a bit of alright to have an even more willing tool,' Alice thought from where she lounged in the shadows watching Sarah debase herself while Anne was buried between her own legs. 'I know that I cannot act that submissive to anyone but Master but watching the already debased slut beg for anyone to use her like this is amusing. Oh it's nowhere near rape or even our own traumas as she is throwing herself with her entire being into it. That it is serving to create a control of the rest of the boys is a good thing.'
That what she was watching was a gangbang by very young boys even if they were able to have a completely useable hard on was dismissed as she observed the practical applications. Sarah was while willing to accommodate any and every little kink that the boys had more interested in the practical demonstration of as many sexual practices, positions and techniques as she could provide for her mistresses. That Alice felt a flush of arousal from knowing that it was her orders that caused this was something she was uncertain of how to tell Harry.
"Now that is a scorching sight Anne," Alice said as she held the girls head to her. "You likely wouldn't mind being in her place if master wished you to. Every way at once seems to be pushing our little pet to her limits. If only you were able to see it you would just cream yourself!"
'Of course I would,' Anne thought as her mouth was occupied. 'That I want master to do everything and anything that he wants to me is no surprise. A shame that there isn't a way for multiples of master to use me all at once... well that and that my tits aren't growing as quick as Alice though I know master will be very hard and likely have such a time when he does claim my pert little ass.'
"So why don't I describe it to you?" Alice asked as she shuddered from Anne's moan. "Our little cunt licking, cum guzzling, cocksucker of a submissive sex slave is getting it in all her holes! That's right she is taking a cock down her throat, up her ass and in her twat and that is not all! Why she even has someone sliding between her tits with her hands jacking off two different cocks! How positively degrading and they are touching her wherever they can! That's right; can you hear those slaps? That's not just them fucking and their skin smacking into each other but they are spanking and punishing her entire willing wanton whore body! Yeah she could probably get those little dicks to do whatever she wants just to get another go. Think about how they are not just as much as they believe using her body but worshipping it!"
Suffice it to say that Anne was wishing that her master had not in his own way forbidden them from stretching any hole but their mouth as she made do trying to once more work more than a finger or two into her sex while she buried her tongue as deep as she could into Alice. She had a simple dream that she wished for now after all this time. Just being naked for her owner's beck and call was what she seemed to dream of more and more.
Alice just closed her eyes and reveled in Anne's talented tongue. They would drop in when the boys were done. Sarah was definitely having fun and there was no reason to jump in and ruin it for her. So what if she loved and craved being used and drenched in cum. It was her choice after all. Maybe she would see about Anne blowing them to ease her cum dependence it was not as if Harry would mind as he wasn't there to feed them.
Alice started to work her foot against Anne's receptive sex and turned enough to keep watching Sarah in her debauchery beneath them. Hanging out in a high branch was cool and it gave them such a nice view. She sighed in disappointment at how quick the boys shot the first few times, but chalked it up to a lack of discipline and experience. Having her two submissives kneeling in the center of the boys as they used mouth and fingers until the boys squirted their release on them seemed to be a new idea that she would contemplate arranging.
'Now to just feel out Anne for how hot and bothered it got her,' Alice thought as she ground the lapping girl's head into her eager slit. 'Still these boys would only be available until September when we finally get to join our master. Hermione better not plan on hogging him since she had him all this time alone!'
Letting Anne's ministration wash the irritation at being separated from Harry from her mind, Alice relaxed into it and turned to see what Sarah would be like after her little inattention. Her eyes bulged at the sight that was clearly visible now. Sarah was covered in the groups' leavings and she was giddily bouncing on two different cocks while sucking and stroking the cocks before her.
'Yes Anne will love that double penetration I believe it is called,' Alice thought as she turned to Anne and said, "You should see Sarah down there. She is ridding two dicks one in her cunt and the other up her ass while she gets her face fucked by a circle of guys just grabbing her head and using her. Why she is even jacking any guy that gets in range. You should see how soaked in their cum she is. Those boys are going to be drained soon at this rate!"
Anne seemed to moan even louder as Alice described what she couldn't see. That Alice's foot was rubbing against her didn't help matters either while Alice was far too preoccupied with the sight of Sarah's sexual escapade as well as using Anne's mouth to get some relief. Anne was doing her best to get Alice off so that she could move to see the action as well even if being held in place made her aroused normally.
'I wonder if master would like to watch this or if this is something that appeals more to girls?' Alice thought as she watched Sarah urging the boys on again. 'I wonder how much longer they can go. Some of them seem close to being unable to cum anymore as their balls look to be visibly shrinking with such a short amount drained from them.'
Alice was grinding Anne's eager mouth to her sex with plenty of bucking and writhing against her friend's talented tongue. As soon as Anne got her to cum and hard she planned to flip the girl and clit fuck her while they both watched the debauchery their toy was engaged in. they both new that Sarah was almost a sex addict as certainly as they had their own addiction to climaxing wither it was from sex, blood or violence didn't really phase the pair.
"Come on Anne," Alice said teasingly. "The sooner you get me to cum... the sooner you get to watch Sarah getting creamed as she keeps cuming!"
Alice arched against Anne's teasing tongue as she felt herself shudder and spasm into the willing girls mouth. Her foot dug into her friends own sex and was soon soaked with her own release. The pair panted as they recovered grateful to have not fallen from their perch so near the hedonistic hidden revel that Sarah was indulging with the less prudish or repulsive boys. There had been no way that they would have let that pansy assed pack of cowards that hung with Dudley near their toy. Boy barely measured for one and the other was that they preferred to give the lot a beat down now that Harry was not there to tell them not to smack the whinny little bitches around.
"Well it seems that motivated you," Alice said with a sigh drawing her into a steaming kiss. "Now turn around and let's get a bit more fun..."
"Yes Alice," Anne agreed swirling about while arching her ass and flipping her skirt to bare her eager uncovered sex. "Do me like you wish master would!"
"Like I need an excuse," Alice said as she pressed her sex into Anne's own eager slit. "Master is in for a Christmas to remember and don't think I don't know what you plan to do for him. The fact that you already have our toy playing with this plug when she eats you is a testament to that!"
"Hmm," Anne murmured as she rocked back against her lover's throbbing wet mound with a smack sounding around them barely covered by the orgy beneath them. "Don't knock it till you tried it! So what if I want master to spread my cheeks and ram his cock inside my ass to give it a good reaming? It makes you feel so good and so submissive to him... Why do you think the slut down there is so into it? She gets stretched in both holes while they cum all over her face and tits. It must make her feel so submissive to be used so well!"
Alice turned to see Sarah eagerly speared by one of the males she had been just been blowing before eagerly sucking the boy who had just cum in her ass back to hardness. That she had impaled herself and been bouncing eagerly while one of the boys she had been circle sucking had shuddered and shot down her throat before one of the others eagerly took his place was not lost on her. If the two boys she was riding didn't cum at the same time she moved enough to let the other pop out and gave the other a very quick ride as she waited for one of the eager boys to plug whichever hole was empty.
"Yeah I can tell from how you moaned into me when I told you what she was doing," Alice sneered as she smacked their sexes together. "You really want master to set something like that up for you don't you?"
Looking down at Sarah eagerly bouncing around on two cocks while at least a good half dozen were arranged around for her to suck and jack, Anne went gloss eyed at the sight. That as soon as the two she was impaled on squirted inside her she would hop up and two more would take their places while she sucked and fondled the males either to return or stay erect unless they just started spurting than she would shift them to spray over her chest and face. The euphoric look in her eyes made Anne realize that no matter how degrading the scene may look that Sarah was loving and enjoying every moment.
"Oh yeah," Anne said as she shuddered. "Only thing almost as good would be to have every one of those prissy girls work me over before master takes me and makes them watch while being unable to do anything!"
The two were so wrapped up in their own games that they missed the slowly dwindling number of boys able to be revived by Sarah's eager mouth and hands. Not that she didn't keep trying to coax some life back into their limp and drained dicks, but their libido was willing while their balls were dry and their dicks starting to chafe. Why even a few of them had collapsed weak kneed wincing at how sore their eagerly used cocks and repeatedly unloaded balls were. They stumbled back when Sarah's eager sucking lips could no more draw any cum only shudders of sorrow that they could not get it up again.
"Heh that at least would be possible," Alice said with a grin. "It's a shame that master won't break just anyone. Still whatever he does to those weak willed wimps who thought they could own him will be damn good. I think when he is done that all of us will be worn out afterwards. Awe; see the poor ickle boys seem to be tiring out. Really now they have only been at it for such a short time and they are drained and dozing. Not like master at all are they and they wonder why neither of us would give them the time of day. At least the few girls who play can last more than a few romps!"
"Come on!" Sarah huffed in indignation as over half of the boys were dozing with their dicks limp and dry. "Can't you boys last a bit longer? That's it you two just because I can milk a man dry doesn't mean that you two are finished yet! Come on stop laying their while I ride you! That's it good boys. Keep that up! You four get back here your cocks still have some cum left in them I can tell!"
As Sarah bounced on the now panicking and panting duo rapidly meeting her movements, she grabbed the four males that had tried to crash after they had crawled away from her riding them. Dragging the four back she set them to task. One last ride and she was done for and she was not letting the boys just turn over and sleep. Taking the least limped of the four she set him to once more plowing her tits while the one barely holding up was eagerly taken into her hungry mouth. That left the two that she had grabbed by the balls to stand to the side as she jacked their weak kneed bodies for one last spurt.
As soon as the dick in her mouth had enough hardness she went around the three suck jack suck and repeat. The boy between her tits was holding on to her shoulders with his legs on her shoulders as he tried to do more than twitch between the soaked mounds. The two boys beneath her were doing their best to get the she devil off so that they had time for their poor drained balls to recover. So they were using their last bit of strength and stamina to slam their dicks up into her bobbing holes.
Sarah had no care if the boys died of dehydration after she drained them although she would likely have vented her rage at their lack of finally in a very unpleasant manner. Sarah had confessed to the pair that while he had taken a preference to anal that he had no care what the gender of his plaything was. He had especially enjoyed when she sodomized someone after he had been forced to recover. Personally she would have held the poor dehydrated and drained balls boys to her mouth and hold them their till she came down their throats.
'Come on you six you have lasted this far but I want one last finish,' Sarah thought as her mouth was stuffed with a slowly throbbing member. 'I can feel them getting close if they time it right I will cum like crazy!'
So thinking, Sarah shifted her grips on the two in her hands while increasing the suction on the three in her mouth, pussy and ass to match the pace of the boy shuddering and getting closer as he rabbited between her heaving globes of heavenly awe. Well that was what the boys had stuttered and called them when she had pulled her blouse off leaving her in just a skirt. She recalled the smile she had at the fact that regardless of their states before they had all stood to attention at the mere sight of her chest being bared before them. She had barely held off a laugh when one had almost creamed his pants when she had pulled her skirt up to leave nothing but a thin bit of elastic from their view as she turned about letting them see every inch that they could.
"To think that those boys down there promised almost anything if not everything they had for this," Alice murmured into Anne's ear as they watched the scene draw to a close. "Think about what we can do with everyone in our class at our beck and call..."
Sarah was bouncing like a maniac and pushing the poor tired and worn boys' bodies to their limits. She felt another wave of orgasms starting to build in her body. The strained boy's cocks were starting to get worn out as were their bodies so Sarah started to really try to draw the last shaking climax out of the few that remained. The strained eyes and muscles showed as all the boys could mutter were insensate grunts and moans as she worked them like a well tuned machine. The three wrapped in her warmth were wide eyed at the suction drawing them back and the grasping of her inner walls was turning their voices into keening.
'Just a bit more boys,' Sarah thought as the two in her hands bucked into her hands as their legs trembled to remain standing. 'I'm almost there and then you can cuuuum!'
Snapping her head back she let the dick in her mouth pop out as she screamed out her release. The rest were shuddering as they felt their balls tighten and start to flow with what little they could provide. The two she was jacking bubbled weakly dripping down to ease the friction of her hands movement. Smiling Sarah felt the spurt of the boys so near her face. The boy she had been sucking let go throbbing in the air and she let it splash against her face and into her mouth. The boy rutting in her tits whimpered as instead of a forceful shot he dribbled up and on her tits before falling down.
"Hmm," Sarah said delighting in the finale of the cum-blasting she had savored. "That's good boys let it go. Ah right there you two stop fighting it and just flow!"
The two that she had a vice grip on with her muscles collapsed after arching up and letting the last of their load empty into her hungry holes. They were suspended by her grip on their shuddering cocks as her muscles milked the last of their cream into her needy body. As she felt the sudden lack of release into her well used and happily sore holes, Sarah released her grip on their cocks causing their bodies to drop with an audible slurp.
"Well that was fun boys," Sarah said drenched in cum and savoring the taste in her mouth as she felt it swish there and in her snapped shut lower holes. "Do give me a call when you are up for it again. So boss lady, done getting your own fun up there or what?"
"Just a moment," Alice said as she ground her sex against the quivering quim of Anne. "We're almost done!"
"Sure go on have your Sapphic sexual spree without me," Sarah said teasingly. "All I get are a few cocks that are worn out but could do with a bit more suction to make sure I got it all and they didn't leave any..."
Sarah smiled as she watched Alice ground her cunt as it gushed into Anne's willing lips. Their clits had not been as often to rub against in this position but both had found their juices mixing. With the lack of sound from the panting boys, Sarah could easily hear the two girls' shout of release just before Anne fell forward and Alice followed. The second cry from Anne as her clit rubbed against the tree as Alice smacked into her ass brought a slow shudder to Sarah.
After a few moments of collecting themselves the two jumped down from the trees to land in a crouch. The only sign to disturb the ground was the drips falling from them. Anne looked intently at Sarah in all her cum covered glory and shuddered thinking of being in her place. Alice looked at the boys and the fact that save for the last ones that their dicks had been drained dry. Thus she knew that Anne was not going to go over and try to get the last drop sucked out of them as there was plenty on Sarah and the last few had only the slight traces that had not been sucked into her body except for the four that were the last to cum on her.
"Well now who looks the mess?" Alice asked as she smirked at the satisfied and satiated smile gracing Sarah's face. "You definitely had fun and the boys can attest to having some fun as well."
"You left some cum on and in them," Anne said as she looked at the four glass eyed forms lying around her crouched form. "Are you going to finish cleaning them up or do you need a hand?"
"Don't you mean lend a mouth?" Sarah asked her fellow submissive as she held out a cum covered finger. "They could use a slightly different diet but they are not the worst tasting I have had..."
Taking a lick and swirling it around to taste it before swallowing Anne answered after smacking her lips, "Well they could be better. Master at least tries to eat foods to make his cum taste good. Still wish to find a way to make it taste closer to chocolate though..."
"Hmm now that would be perfect," Sarah said with a sigh. "Sex to feel better and a squirt of chocolate to enhance the experience would be interesting. Still you should try pouring some chocolate syrup on em and licking them off sure there is no the need for say the same amount of forceful licking as say peanut butter but it is easier to clean up and not as much a pain if you don't get it all. Still one of the better tricks for girls is with cherries..."
"Yes training the tongue to be flexible enough to tie a cherry stem and all that," Alice said looking at the unmoving boys. "Can't be much harder than learning to dial..."
"True," Sarah said in agreement. "Still it's not what I meant though. Imagine stuffing an eager and wet twat with cherries and having to get them out just with your tongue no fingers at all..."
The two tilted their heads at that ignoring the gasps of the boys wincing as the verbal innuendo tried to get them to rise to the occasion. They both could agree that would be fun and wondered if Harry would mind dunking for cherries. Alice did have a sudden frown at the thought of what might happen with Hermione being alone with him all this time even if both had written that they had not gone that far.
'Still there is no reason to accept losing permanently,' Alice thought with a sigh as she barely restrained soothing her ass in memory. 'It is just natural that we compete. Master would like it if we change things up more. A shame that we cannot drag Sarah with us as she seems the perfect little sex toy. At least she can keep an eye on things here when we join Master at school. Now if we can compete with our pets than Christmas might be more interesting...'
"What are you thinking about Alice?" Anne asked as she let the poor whimpering for mercy boy's cock out of her mouth as she licked the last drip she had drained from him. "I don't think that they are up to anything at this point. To drained to fuck and too tired to suck."
"I was not thinking about these boys although," Alice began before stalking over to the whimpering and pleading form of their leader as Sarah was ensuring that he was drained by extra stimulation. "Hello John you had your fun and you best be able to keep up your part of the agreement or things will be a far shade as unpleasant as this was pleasant!"
"Eep! Alice what do you mean," John said with a stutter. "There is nothing to worry about its all here..."
"It best be John or you'll be paying similar to how you were playing if you get my drift," Alice said to the suddenly pale teen. "Oh and try to be a bit more respectful John. I can still crush your balls if you get out of line."
"Sorry Miss Alice," John shuddered as Sarah worked him some more. "We counted before to make sure."
With that John handed off the rather substantial amount of money that the boys had ponied up. It was a well known fact that coercion of any sort would lead to you having to get your balls removed from your throat in this town. Well except the idiots and they tended to either leave town of their own volition or just disappeared. Even if there had been any reason to suspect Harry and his crew, most would consider them as a necessary evil as they had curb stomped any attempt by Big D and his boys to do more than bluster. Even after Harry the Ghost had gone to school there was none of that going down as even Piers Polkiss had been hesitant to do much after he was nutted airborne from a standstill kick.
It was in part to Alice backhanding the whale when he had tried to restart his ways that had led to John as a rival leader to keep his head down. It hadn't helped when almost every one of the interested in fun girls had been roped into whatever she had been planning. So when the Lady had offered them a chance to have a go with a girl they had contemplated Alice deciding she was bored with some of the experience girls and wanted to get something in return.
'To think I thought she was going to rent a few of her girls out for dates,' John thought sweating a bit as Alice counted the money and Sarah kept him on edge again most likely until she was done. 'Her having a nymphomaniac adult sex slave eager to get some young boys to service her slut desires was unexpected. Still as long as one of the others doesn't try to nick some of the cash we won't be screwed. Hell my older brother was telling me about the girl and that while she was worth a go that her owner was not someone to owe and I know Alice is worse. Bro got his ass sold to be buggered when he had a go without money... so I know that whatever Alice comes up with will be worse.'
"Well John one of your boys seems to be having trouble with his math," Alice said with a frown. "What are you going to do about it than?"
"Fuck," John whimpered as Sarah went from coaxing his balls to trying to give his drained balls a reason to be sore that he was not going to like. "Alright, now which one of you little tossers decided to nick some of the green? I'm not shooting the breeze here, so you best know when the time to shut your gob is and when it's not! I'd say unless you lot plan to be buggered that you find the cunt and throw him up as in case you failed to remember this is Alice who has been known to cut a man for looking at her funny and one of you shits decided to take the gem out of her donut by skimin' a few quid!"
"We bloody well know who it is," the boy with Anne's nails a hair's breadth from slicing his balls off said. "Do any of us look to be able to think let alone nick some quid? How short are we, as some of us can see about getting a bit of dole to make up for it...?"
"And how do I know you won't bug out as soon as you're out of sight?" Alice asked in irritation. "Here I was thinking of letting you lot have a go at this slut Sarah again with Anne somewhat available and then you go and do this. Really now to keep you from running all of you don't expect to be getting your trousers back just yet. If you can't cough up enough you'll be working off your debt..."
With that said, the boys scrambled as much as they could wiggle to their wallets and scouring for any coin they could find. John had a firm idea on what would happen as he started going cross eyed from what Sarah was doing to him. Just a few moments ago he was whimpering as she tried to make sure he was good and clean as well as empty of any cum in his balls, and now he was whimpering from the idea of having to pay up with his ass or if he lucked out being their toy for a bit and only if he was extremely lucky going down on them. He really feared that he was going to get worked over for them to vent before they ensured that his boys knew that he and in proxy they answered to Alice.
'Bloody hell I find who did this and I am giving him up for these two to use however they want,' John thought as he felt Sarah smirking as she teased closer to where he knew his brother had been broken by. 'If I beg, I might get by with them fucking my face like I really loved doing to their slut. Worse case they bend me over and use one of those strapons to ream my unlubricated ass. Though given the small bit I overheard it might just be me having to suck their twats and as loath as I am to think about it tonguing their asses.'
As John and Anne's unnamed victim were unable to move do to the danger their bait and tackle were in, they were sweating as they knew that they were close enough to be the first to get shafted instead of shafting someone if it all went down the drink. Alice was more than capable of dealing with them if they were in tip top shape, but they were exhausted and feeling like their balls were about to fall off and thus were not doing a damn thing to pretend if they were not responsible. The situation was allowing Alice an unprecedented look at what a group will do when they know one of them was going to be the cause for a major load of shit dropping on them.
'Now let's see if even if they come up short that the fool gets caught,' Alice thought with a quick licking of her lips. 'As much fun as these boys being toys I don't think that John will deal with that too well and he is quite useful in keeping another faction from forming. Symbolism is important to the sheep after all and I likely will let him go with him doing a good job at licking me to climax while the idiot might have a future as one of Surrey's cocksuckers for hire...'
One of the boys seemed just a hair too nervous for his own good and when Alice noticed she approached him and snagged his wallet. Letting out a whistle at the amount that was there and shouldn't have been the boy flinched in shock. He was screwed. He knew it and he was too damn drained to even think to fight back.
"Well now John it seems like it is your lucky day," Alice said with a smirk as she kicked the boy hard to the ribs causing him to skid a few feet back and cough a little blood up. "The soon to be spending the rest of his short miserable existence in pain asshole is taking the rest of your boys places. Sarah, stop tormenting and let him relax..."
Before he could shout at the idiot who had double crossed him, John was moaning as Sarah coaxed the last drops of cum out of his body. He just lay there like a limp noodle as he tried to recover from the delayed and drawn out shuddering racking his body. Turning his head a bit he saw the poor bastard that had skimmed enough money out of their payment to almost get them in serious trouble. At the look on Miss Alice's face, John was grateful that the bastard had been caught or it would have been him getting the beat down.
'I trusted you and this is how you repay me?' John thought in shock in the boy he had pulled out of getting a shakedown by Big D. 'You fucking deserve it and I hope you like your new life, cocksucker.'
John let his eyes partially close as the meaty thumps hit his ears. None of the boys were up for a tussle with a squirrel and the two toughest gals in the town were dropping a deserved thrashing to the idiot that got them almost killed or worse. The fact that he was trying to pass out before they moved on from the punching and kicking was really getting difficult.
The last thing he saw as his eyes closed was a scary knife in Alice's hand. It was damn creepy looking like it was made out of bleached bone and the shear presence of doom radiating from her made him glad they had been at least friendly rivals.
"Now this is going to hurt," Alice said as she gave her weapon a quick swing. "Remember that we were far enough that no one heard you scream in pleasure so no one will hear your screams of pain..."
Suffice it to say that John was going to be seeing how long he could stay in Alice's favor as Jack had gotten one hell of an attitude adjustment. What she actually did to him he never wanted to know. He would suspect any number of violent things but Jack had not a single wound more damaging than a bruise though he walked sore and was skittish around many a thing. The closest he managed to find out was that Jack had spent time as a training dummy and he would never say anything more on it. John thought he got off easy but he didn't have a clue what sick things that Alice did to him before having Sarah demonstrate every conceivable thing that they could ever have an interest in.
While his two minions and servants in all ways indulged their sexual lusts as they watched their toy eagerly being played with by the many boys that would afterwards do whatever they asked, Harry was very reluctant to slip from his bed with Hermione. He felt something bothering him and he could not shake it off. He turned to the window of his room and opened it. Looking back he saw the sheet draped over her nude form and fought to turn back. He knew that she needed sleep to heal from their game and that he felt a very strong pull towards the forest.
'I really wish that we hadn't gone as extreme tonight,' Harry thought with a sigh of regret. 'I feel unease at going out alone without someone with me this time. Something else is roaming there that I can tell.'
Still even if he did not want to he felt a pull similar to when he aided ghosts in crossing over. This was just another price that he had to pay. Swinging his legs he crouched on the windowsill and looked down toward the ground. As much as he wished he had purchased and snuck a broom in the height was not that bad. He could run down the wall and brake enough not to be hurt or likely even land from a leap without causing much if he cast a wandless cushioning charm.
Harry didn't think and with a blink found himself crouched on the ground beneath the tower landing as silently as a cat could fall from a tree. He blinked for a moment before looking back where he had come from before looking to the forest. It did not matter how he had gone from his window to the ground as he needed to go to the forest. To anyone looking it would have been a figure appearing in a blur clothes swirling in the air before vanishing in a blur again.
Harry found he was in the edge of the forest before he had thought to move. Detached parts of his mind contemplated the speed he was moving at and the rate of energy it was consuming. The method would burn like crazy but when speed was life it boosted to beyond superhuman speeds. Well there was the fact that it seemed to almost ignore the effect gravity should have had on his passage there was a rush as he used this new skill. It was not quite a short distance teleport as he was aware of moving though the intervening space just without most of the laws of physics seeming to have applied.
'Nice,' Harry thought as he seemed to flow even faster than he had in the forests in Surrey. 'So close to flying without a charm or object as to be liberating. Now to find whatever is calling me.'
As Harry did some sort of strange blurring jump from tree branch to tree branch, his mind drifted over what could the pressing need be. Deeper and deeper he went passing through areas of danger without more than a flicker of wind to mark his passage. In addition the more attuned animals in the forest had drawn away as he had passed darting as far as they could or borrowing as deep as they could at his palatable presence. Every single creature that was within range to detect the approach had felt something primal and dangerous speaking of a predator far more capable than them. Wolves had fled to their dens as birds flew away as silently as they could. The prey species of deer and the like had scurried away at the first wave of danger had flickered against their instincts.
Unnoticed as Harry was distracted far more than normal, a bird followed a bit behind his wake. Both being drawn by instinct to do something even if neither knew what they were about to do. Fawkes was likewise so intent on the call that he failed to notice the dark magic lingering along his path. Not that phoenix hated dark creatures exactly more or less those that they knew were impeding their goals. The line between a light phoenix and a dark firebird was not very large after all.
'What could this call be? It feels familiar, but I have not felt it in a very long time,' Fawkes thought as he flittered through the trees as the denizens tended to scurry away in his passage almost as much as they had the first traveler. 'Yes whatever this is it has been centuries since I have felt it.'
While Fawkes trailed the accelerating necromancer, Harry was getting close to where the call was coming from. He was aware at this point that the call was not coming from a ghost or other necromantic creation, but it was coming from something alive whose blood was singing of power and purpose. The faint whiff of the spilt blood was in the air now and his eyes flicked to see the silvery blue trail on the ground. It was not a lot mere drips nowhere near a lethal level of blood loss from what he could see. Still the blood was strange in its scent.
'What the hell is with the blood that it smells repulsive?' Harry wondered as he moved a small scattering of dust and debris flying from the branch as he kicked off. 'I have never smelled something as nauseating in my life. It is as if the blood itself is cursed and that to drink it is to invite a loss of epic proportions.'
Harry came to a standstill on a branch a little ways from a clearing. The blood was more potent in the air and the buzzing in his body seemed to grow in intensity. His gaze swept the clearing as he looked for the source of the irritation. Shockingly the pale white stood out from the dark shadows that the woods cast. It was down on its leg limping as one of its legs was slowly seeping a slightly less marginal amount of blood as it had from its trail.
'Ok a white horse... with a horn,' Harry thought before his eyes widened in realization. 'Ok what the hell would hunt a unicorn of all things? Light or dark they are as dangerous as practically anything else out there. The dark aligned ones would gore any male to death and stalk a virgin female before doing the same. It reeks of purity and light though so I doubt it got hurt trying to gore something it was planning to eat like its counterpart would. So what is it that is after a unicorn of all things? They are fast and few things are unaffected by the curse that devouring one would cause.'
It was at that point a black cloaked form came stalking into the clearing clearly following the unicorn's blood trail. Its stance and behavior immediately suggested it as the hunter. Sadly it did not seem to fit into a known category. That caused Harry to have enough of a logic gap to override the instincts that had his hand trembling to strike at the abomination before him. It offended him worse than the pale imperfect imitations of Infiri compared to a proper construct.
'Now what in the name of Morgana's eager cunt is that?' Harry wondered as he tried to identify the whatever-the-hell it was. 'Let's see it is not an undead so it's not a vampire, zombie, ghoul, Infiri or the like. It does not radiate a cold aura sapping all positive emotion so it is not a Dementor. It is too cold for a Lethifold as well. It is not a construct as that would have its own flavor to its scent as well as presence. It drinks blood based on its actions like a vampire or more accurately has been drinking unicorn blood. Come on what use does that kind of blood... ok almost as potent as phoenix tears even able to cure one of a complete dose of Nundu's breath.'
The cloak thing drew closer to the no longer able to run unicorn. Its pitiful fangs were bared as it approached. It lacked claws to grip nor any animal like predatory behavior. The area that the thing had gone for was not one that anyone would strike a pursuit prey on as it would not bring it down even if it was near a major artery. As it started to lunge something unexpected happened.
Harry acted on instinct and a burst of necromantic fire flew past the thing cutting it off from its forward movement. Its unholy scream was heard as even though the strike was not dire it was obviously painful. Looking at contempt at the thing Harry's shadow covered form bowed its head to glare at the thing that had impeded in his hunting grounds and hunted one of the silver ones.
"Leave," Harry growled at the thing. "I will not warn you again or you will be my prey..."
Twitching in shock the thing made a look and saw only a shadow wrapped form exuding an aura of pure predator. There was no good or evil to him he just was. A dark predator that was going to slay whatever chose to wander into his territory.
"I warned you," Harry began to say before he found the darker than night flames wreathed around his hand.
The thing stood still eyes wide as the burning volley of death approached. It was as startled as a deer caught in the headlights. It looked for a moment that it was over and that it would soon be reduced to less than ash from the deadly flames.
"Move," came a quite whisper with urgency from the things body. "Move I command you!"
That seemed to startle the thing to moving and it jumped back barely managing to avoid a direct hit with the black flames. Even though the fires barely connected with the thing it screamed and screamed as it fell. That had hurt it more than it could recall hurting. Even as Harry drew another shot, the thing snapped up unsteadily and ran off as if it was scared to death.
"I will get you," the whispered voice promised. "Whoever you are know that you shall die at my hand."
"Well that was unpleasant," Harry commented as he dropped to the unicorn's side and out of instinct started to channel a white flame to cauterize the wound. "It seems that you are not in that bad of a shape. Your bone is just unable to support your weight and the blood loss is minimal."
It was at this point as Harry crouched near its side with the white wisping flame mere breaths away from the unicorn's flesh that Fawkes flew into the scene. The phoenix's song crashed over the clearing causing the unicorn to twitch in response. The two looked at each other in an amusing sort of way. Fawkes did not feel the boy before it was evil per se more or less following his nature while Harry was looking at Fawkes in interest of a phoenix in such a place as well as what it wanted with the unicorn.
The two seemed to lock gazes for an instant to an outside observer. To the two involved each was contemplating many things. They each shifted in their appearance. Harry's flame shifted from white to a sickly black while Fawkes drew himself up and flames flickered around him. Each released a force pressing the few animals there that dared to investigate to cower even further than they had before. Their eyes were heavy judging each other and the situation.
The common enough thoughts between the two were: was this person an enemy and can I defeat them. After that was the reasoning of what each was there to accomplish. Unicorns while powerful magically and had blood with powerful healing properties were susceptible to wounds and certain types their healing would not handle. Do to the still seeping wound as well as the way the unicorn was fading and becoming less magical it was wounded not only physically but its magic itself had been injured.
"So," Harry said after the two had sized each other up. "We both want the unicorn to live. You even are willing to use your tears to heal it."
"Yes," Fawkes trilled causing a shudder to barely be suppressed by Harry. "This situation is not to be tolerated."
"I can see why you think that," Harry said with a sigh. "There are not enough unicorns left in the world and even I am loath to wish them anything less than their survival. We may be at opposition in other matters but in this I believe you are willing to set aside those differences."
"For the sake of the unicorn," Fawkes trilled his reply, "Yes I will set aside our mutual dislike. Call the healing flame and I shall add my own strength to it."
"For the sake of the unicorn," Harry agreed as his hand was wreathed once more in white flickering fire. "Brace yourself..."
The unicorn had but a moment before the flames came into contact with its body and it seared the unnaturalness that hindered its healing. Fawkes cried into the fire causing it to turn from a wispy white to a shining white flame. The unicorn was soon having the flames flickering more than to the main wound and its legs seemed to regain the gauntness that it had gained as its magic had been draining causing the relatively immortal creature to wither and grow frail.
"I take it that we best part," Harry said as the unicorn nuzzle him once before turning to look at the sudden appearance of another pair of unicorns both bigger than it was. "Our duties have both been released and I know we find each other's presence trying..."
"Yes," Fawkes trilled in reply causing the unicorns to shine a bit brighter, "young death touched that is what shall be. Not that your help is unappreciated but I would prefer not to terry in each other's presence."
"Of course, oh phoenix," Harry replied with a slight nod of acknowledgement to the bird. "I wouldn't want to trouble you with my lowly presence consorting with such unsavory things..."
"Fawkes young death keeper," Fawkes acknowledged. "It is not that your presence is unappreciated, but your scent does try me."
"Ah," Harry said with a thoughtful nod. "It would be understandable that the scent of blood and death would offend one such as you. Still I had best be off."
"Yes one should not keep one's mate waiting," Fawkes replied with a humorous trill. "What you think I as a phoenix have become so disassociated with living as to forget the joys of such times. No young servant of death, a phoenix is of fire true, but is not passion a flame as well? Do not seek to add human notions to such as us. We each serve a part of natures order."
"True enough," Harry said with a grin. "My mate will be displeased when she finds out I left our bed to go gallivanting here without her!"
"As it is with all good mates," Fawkes agreed with the avian equivalent of a laugh and shake of his head. "Ah to be young and willing to sport again..."
Harry let things go at that point as he had no desire to reminisce about the phoenix's love life or current lack thereof. With a jaunty wave he went back to springing from branch to branch.
'I just know that Hermione will be annoyed,' Harry thought as he saw the castle approach. 'Sure I may be in charge, but a girl always knows how to make a man feel like he has done the dumbest thing possible. I have a responsibility to her and her to me. Still I feel tired as if all that I have done lately used far more magic than it should.'
As Harry got to the ground below the tower, he barely thought as he ascended the wall. At first he was unsure if he had jumped, ran or some other manner moved from the ground to be crouched at his open window. Realizing it was a matter to be thought of and in depth when one was awake he looked on the site that greeted him. Hermione was nude as always and the sheets clung to her form in a very visually appealing as well as aesthetic way. It was a sight that he promptly made sure to commit to memory. She just looked too cute for even his indifference to come into play.
'Sleep,' Harry thought as he slid under the sheets and wrapped himself around Hermione. 'Everything will be better in the morning and I can just hope that this doesn't come back to bite me in the ass later...'
