Chapter 10: Darkness Rising, Calls in the Dark and a Rising Witch

Oh brothers and sisters revel in your life for even if we serve death we must not forget to live! Never forget that death and life are tied and that we serve the living and the dead—Necromancer Acolyte Alice Clawson to the All Hallows’ revel

Despite what you think you know you know nothing about anything. Life requires death as much as procreation requires sex. While one does not need to procreate to have sex one does have to kill to live wither it is plants or animals every breath costs something its existence. Don’t even get me started on alternates as synthesized slop is not the same anymore than your other strange notions to divorce people from the truth of existence. – NA Hermione Granger to the consortium concern after the Wizengamot went Crazy.

Once More Nymphadora Tonks was uncertain in how to handle things. Her last encounter was confusing her in its intensity as well as its content. She had gotten used to being kissed until she felt her body thrumming with need and her blood boiling with passion waiting to be unleashed. She had gotten used to that her once and more often admitted to herself as her future lovers had their hands wander her non sexual yet still sensual parts of her body.

‘They went from little more than backrubs and friendly touching to fingering me until I came screaming out my release,’ Tonks thought as she paced around her room. ‘Not exactly ready to go to any of my girlfriends and admit even half of what happened let alone that I kissed a girl and I liked it. I’m not sure they would take that being repeated or the other stuff yet. I know what they told me but telling them anything about Halloween or the morning after is out for the foreseeable future. That I seem to find myself having fleeting fantasies of practically everyone of any possible physical interest around me is disconcerting enough without telling my friends that I have had several wet dreams about them.’

With a huff Tonks walked around her bed and went to her drawers. She slid the drawer out and looked over the small selection of toys that Jane had given her. As she had asked there was nothing overly penetrative except the plug. She shuddered as she realized that if she had it with her before that with the state she had been in she would have likely suggested that they wetten it with her juices. That her more sexual side thought have Hermione tease herself until she lubricated it even if it took several climaxes to get it that moist before sliding it into her body while Harry caressed her was almost as thrilling as it was intimidating.

‘Right like I can think I wouldn’t die of embarrassment if I told them that,’ Tonks thought with a sigh as she set the massager against her skin. ‘I can picture the look on their faces if they knew I wanted a guy to not only fuck me but bugger me before another girl eats his cum out of me and more likely than not with someone possibly them watching my humiliation as that only causes the steam to explode.’

If Tonks knew what Siobhan got up to on a daily basis, she would have been less mortified at where such conversations could go. That her friend would have gladly assisted in any acting out of her fantasies she had would have shocked her. So what was she left to do? Who could she go to as almost all her friends were outside her tower and Sarah was unavailable again with someone who she was being very quite on. It was sadly getting far too near curfew to leave the tower even if she had a strong inclination that her abilities would allow her to get out with only a warning and some compensation.

‘If I went to visit any of them it is likely that any prefect and most likely the males if they caught me out of bounds would use their position to have me provide them with relief,’ Tonks thought with a sigh. ‘That I am starting to fantasize about Penny doing that to me is disconcerting almost as much as being in her place and catching Harry or Hermione or even Merlin forbid anyone even somewhat physically attractive or likely to satisfy. Still as long as they stay fantasies for the most part I don’t think that I will regress even more. Still that I came like a Knut whore when Harry talked about such situations or similar submissive ones where I am passed around and used is part of why I regressed so easily not wanting to be a bad girl like mum said. Yet when I was bad that time I felt so good…’

Making up her mind, Tonks went again to Penny for some advice. Her libido whispered to her that she should have done more last time and why doesn’t she compensate Penny for her time in a very pleasant and pleasurable way. That was soon followed by recollections of what she had indirectly tasted like as well as how hungry she had been from the perfumed scent that she had smelled from the other girls arousal. That she knew that her libido if it got to strong would allow her less repressed or even regretful side out to play.

‘So I know I need to talk to Penny and try not to let things degenerate enough for my more willing side to come out,’ Tonks thought with a shudder as the images Dora danced across her minds eyes made her knees weak and want to go to his room and just get the whole seduction over and revel in the experience. ‘Still while Dora may be as much as I hate my name accurately described as a nymphomaniac nymph that does not mean that I will submit to her odd impulses to her regret. That the only reason that part of me hadn’t buried our tongue into the flowing fountain that was Penny’s rapidly stimulated sex was that she was pretty much passed out and thus would be unresponsive. So self confession before I go in. I like boys. Harry is a good example of that and he doesn’t act like a jerk. Okay now a harder one. I like boys and girls. Yeah that is a bit shocking to admit to myself. Now the sticklers to all this, I really do not regret a damn thing I did that night or morning. I just cannot admit that out loud for fear still engrained by /mother/! I accept the fact that if I am given an opportunity I will reciprocate for Harry and most definitely Hermione. I do not think I am ready to do more than be present with Penny. I know that I do not want to do such things at this time. Dora at least should be willing to compromise in that it is only proper to serve our owners first instead of just crawling before her and begging to eat her out!’

Her internal monologue drew to a close as she stopped before Penny’s closed door. She was conflicted more so this year than in any previous year. She knew to the depths of her being that if she had been found by anyone else that she would have broken completely and already be passed around to earn her user some Sickles. Without the oddly calming notion and the constraint of the oath they had gotten her to agree to she felt that Dora would have been completely overcompensating and that she would have been passed around like firewiskey at a party. Dora had been so hard up that she would have gladly presented herself to anyone and done whatever they wanted no matter how demeaning, disgusting or demented.

All this flashed through the flushed girls mind as she raised her hand to knock on the door. Tonks was aware that Dora as loath as she was to admit it valued privacy except when the idea of exhibitionism or voyeurism came into play. A sudden thrill at the recollection that she had been brought to a very hard and messy climax for Hermione’s viewing pleasure caressed her body. Things would become more hectic and disconcerting in the future. Dora was currently teasing Tonks with the knowledge that she planned on teasing Penny after she had been properly taken by her master in all ways.

‘Right I can do this just knock on the door,’ Tonks thought with some hesitation present. In her demeanor before she began to dwell on her own issues once more ‘Penny does not know what I have done let alone what I spent some time jilling off to certain images of her and what acts we could do. I still suspect that Dora will want to come here and confess after master takes me. Oh there I go again completely believing that it will happen… right I am trying to kid myself again. The conclusion of this situation is as immutable as the sea. It will happen and from what little I could recall of some of the post stimulation discussion that Hermione is very frustrated at the fact that she has to wait for Christmas so master’s other playthings can get a go at that time. That however does not mean that she plans to do anything and everything short of being so wonderfully stuffed by him. It will be like that night in its degenerative decadence of debauchery and where he slid along our slits and between our ass cheeks this time he will slide himself inside. Is that why I am so hesitant now knowing that Penny has some experience though based on her need to get relief afterwards nowhere near as satisfying as my time has been? That a part of me feels the need to show master off even if it means he takes some other girl in front of me is troubling though all those images bring to mind the fact that when he clit fucked one of us that he had us eat the other out. Guys are not the only ones to brag and to rub it in some girls face that I am his even if most would be possessive and have him as theirs is so tempting especially if they have to watch and feel so deliciously jealous of how better I have it and how even better the future will be!’

Drawing determination from that line of reasoning, Tonks rapped on Penny’s door. She hoped that she was not disturbing her though she felt a sudden thrill at the idea of catching Penny in mid motion. The wait for her to ask who was there seemed heavy to her mind. Uncertainty if she was there or if she had let all this tension build up for no reason suddenly troubled her. She came here for advice and while some of it had been heavily influenced by the bliss crashing though Penny’s mind in mid masturbation that did not mean that things were not true.

“Who is it?” Penny asked without the irritation present last time. “I am trying to get a bit of a tough one dealt with…”

“It’s Tonks, Nymphadora Tonks,” Tonks said with as hopeful a sound as she could. “I was wondering if I could come in and talk with you again. Your advice was real good and well my other friends are unavailable at the time for a number of reasons.”

That drew Penny up for a moment as she recalled that there had been a discussion though part of it seemed overwritten by a fantasy and a rather fulfilling wet dream. She suspected that she had been worked up again and had as soon as the younger girl left rapidly returned to her frenzied self fornication. She suspected as well that her somewhat embarrassing habit of licking and sucking her altered wand clean afterwards was the reason that her wand had been showing little to no signs of all the use she had given it that night.

‘If I recall correctly she is in her first relationship,’ Penny thought as she set her mind trying assignment to the side. ‘Ah to be young and naïve in love again. Still Percy seems to be somewhat trainable though he seems to lack a desire for public dates as much. Still he wants to take time in introducing himself and acquainting himself with my family so that is good. Having a boyfriend that is trained enough not to embarrass me when he meets the family is important. So the standard so snogging and how far and quick to go without gaining a rep and spending the rest of my time as a girl that is believed to spread her legs at the slightest inclination talk is in order. Probably would be better to tell her the things I thought of in that fantasy I had. I really need to keep a good eye on her as the rumors were confirmed that she was a Metamorphmagus and that no matter how well behaved any of the boys here are that they would be willing to be most unswerving in initiating an encounter. Well only girl more likely to be at perpetual risk of unwanted sexual advances being even legally ignored are Veela as they are largely considered a creature who exists solely to be fucked.’

Turning her head to the door and after glancing around that nothing that would shock or embarrass the girl was present she moved to the door. She opened the door and took a look at the girl seeking her aid. She looked to have had a shower recently and there was a just clinging flush to her that was more than that. The sudden realization of what the girl had likely done after a very intense snogging session came to mind.

“Good evening Tonks,” Penny said motioning the girl to come in. “So more advice is what you need. I take it that your girlfriends are either busy or in other houses?”

“Yeah and I sort of need some advice even if I think I might have come to a conclusion on my own,” Tonks said with a slight smile as she sat on the other girl’s bed. “It was rather embarrassing getting a corrected form of the Talk and I really cannot thank you enough for countering all the intentional misinformation mum gave me.”

“That is what I am here for,” Penny said with a slight grin. “It is a prefects duty to help guide and assist ones fellow housemates and that is doubly so for us girls. I know that having someone as a sort of proxy older sister helps as it would be far too mortifying having to ask ones head of house or one of the other professors about such things.”

“Yeah,” Tonks said shuddering at the notion of having to have asked Flitwick or one of the female professors about such things. “It would be worse than getting the Talk from both mum and dad. So how do I ask this?”

“Let me guess,” Penny said as she looked the girl over. “You just had a very heated encounter and after getting some relief came for advice about it and most likely how far you should go with a boy?”

“Um not quite,” Tonks said with a blush. “It sort of went a bit out of hand and well hands wandered and I was so embarrassed afterwards…”

“Oh little Tonks got felt up until she came,” Penny said teasingly. “I remember the first time I got some heavy petting and his hands felt so good rubbing my knickers…”

“Yeah,” Tonks agreed breathlessly as she remembered what happened. “It was very good. I just am not sure if I handled the situation correctly considering…”

“Yes, you are a bit less experienced than most of your year mates,” Penny said with a nod of thought. “Now as you may recall it is very important not to be involved with a boy and let him go too far especially if he blabs. So you were unsure what to do when his hands wandered and likely you were feeling so hot that you didn’t protest too much if at all when he started to quench the need with his hands. So let me get a good picture of this.”

“I was leaned against him and his hands ran across my body as he teased and kissed my neck,” Tonks said red faced yet eager to tell someone that she was doing something besides wearing her fingers out. “He was so eager and he seemed to just know what spots would get me worked up. It was just so good.”

“I can tell,” Penny said with a grin as she recalled how fun just snogging and caresses could be. “So where all did his hands go that they made you feel so good?”

“He let his hands get a good feel at these,” Tonks said as she hefted her once more enlarged and impossibly perky bosom. “How he got his hands to unbutton my blouse and remove my bra without me noticing until his thumbs were oh so teasing, I do not know.”

“So your guy got to feel your titties up and was necking with you,” Penny said as the image of the scene appeared in her mind. “Did you do that to them?”

“They just do that,” Tonks said with some confusion. “It does feel weird at first but it makes them sooo sensitive!”

“You are such a lucky girl!” Penny started as she noticed the implication even if things were starting to feel surreal again as it was so like that fantasy last time. “So he caressed your titties and you came?”

“Oh yeah,” Tonks said as her mind started to recall how good that made her feel and was still unsure if her body had cum from that or had just started to thrum in arousal at that time. “It just seemed to feel like it was one long drawn out wave of pleasure…”

“With your body that sensitive it must make it so easy to climax,” Penny said with a slight frown. “As I said you are a lucky girl, I know a few girls that seem to take forever to get to any of the fun stuff. It is almost a letdown as they do take so long to get there but they get to stay there when they do. If only the boys here were willing to spend more time than just enough to get you moist enough not to chaff them. Oh I would spend so many galleons just for a guy that loved the game so!”

“I take it your current interest is a bit of a minute man?” Tonks asked feeling some sadness even as her body was seemingly getting aroused more so again. “He should at least be willing to give some consideration to your needs if you are dating him. I hope he is not one of those asses that only are interested in a girl for two things: one their body and how good it makes them feel or what they can get if they are known to be with the girl. One thing I agree with that prudish bitch about is I don’t want a guy that wants me for status as while he may keep me in luxury it would be so frustrating!”

“Yeah he does seem to have an overly developed interest in his future career,” Penny said with a thought before her attention was riveted by the way that Tonks’ chest seemed to move. “At least he doesn’t seem to be as much of an ass as that Malfoy brat is even if that is not that much of a consolation. I guess I need to spend some time teaching him that he has duties besides in public to any girl he is with as it is quite rude to just wander off leaving me high and dry or more accurately wet and needy.”

“I hear ya,” Tonks said with a purr as her hands seemed to be acting out memories of how he had teased her. “Still I can get why the guy I am interested in would do that. Still he was willing to go when I said no so there is that…”

“You wanted him to ignore your protests and if he had given you just a hair more play would have changed your mind,” Penny said contemplating what it would be like if Percy was up to more than the mediocre level of attention that he did. “True we want guys to stop when we say no but we want them to know when a no is really a maybe and not a just go away but slow down a little bit. Wish the guy would do more than prod along getting me excited before wanting a hand job or a blow.”

“Just give him some training and he won’t be an ass like most of the jerks,” Tonks said with a sigh as her hands continued to move her breasts even as Penny seemed to be fixating on the barely covered or concealed part. “Tell me he can at least make your toes curl when he kisses you. Cause my guy oh the things he can do with his tongue. I wish that I had been willing to ask for him to use that tongue elsewhere. Oh how good it would have felt!”

“You do realize that most guys seem to have little interest once they get something to touch their pricks,” Penny said with a sigh as she barely noticed that her hands were teasing herself mimicking what Tonks was doing to her attention getting mounds. “Well you can get them to maybe suck and play with your tits but most here seem to think it is a very sick thing if they go anywhere else than a girls lips, neck and tits with their tongue. Though there was this one guy that seemed to be so playful that I had a hard time not burying his face into my pussy when he teased my belly button! Oh it was so hard not to have imagined his tongue teasing me there like he had just a few inches from where he had been!”

“At least you had some goes with a guy that was interested in reciprocating,” Tonks said with a sigh. “Why he has to be more of a tease than a girl I do not know! Still he seems to love making me want to go to him and ask for more. I will confess that he seems quite good at getting me worked up and any trepidations that I have had seem to die after every time. At least this last time he got me so worked up that he got me to cum before I could make myself able to tell him that we had to stop!”

“So lucky to get a guy that seems to both know what to do and willing to make you cum not just see you as a more pleasurable way to drain their balls,” Penny said with a sigh as she noticed the way that Tonks seemed to shudder every now and again. “Still with how easy you seem to be able to cum I am quite jealous of you. Oh that was a very difficult admission…”

“One of these days I need to find some time when my girlfriends are available for a girls’ night in,” Tonks said as she felt another soothing and settling wave of sensations wash over her more content body. “Talk about boys, drink some strong drinks and generally relax would be so nice to do. Not that I don’t like talking to someone I seem to see as a barely older yet experienced enough to give advice sister or anything.”

Penny laughed at that. She would admit that some butterbeer or some stronger stuff would have helped them to relax but it was nice even if she felt a twinge of jealousy that she was living vicariously through the slightly younger girl. She really would have to see about stamping out the delusions and other issues that Percy had. Well that and help him be able to transfer his passing kissing skills to other aspects. She was aware that he was not well trained enough to let between her legs with his lips let alone his dick so she would work on his manual dexterity in the near future.

‘Perhaps if I make it where he needs to get me to cum before I let him will teach him a proper appreciation for me other than as a talking doll,’ Penny thought as she contemplated how to get her love and sex life back to the level that the virgin in front of her had. ‘I do need to ask her if she got to see if his fingers were as skilled elsewhere than on her obviously trigger happy and readily stimulated bosoms. Percy seems to think that a few quick rubbings is enough for me and it will be quite disappointing if Tonks here gets a guy that can play her pussy like a fiddle or even if she lucks out with someone almost addicted to eating a girl out.’

“Hey I didn’t mean that in a bad way,” Tonks grumbled as Penny laughed. “It’s not like I tried to compare you to mum! At least you seem to know that a girl is supposed to enjoy it more than think back and think of Queen and Country while the jerk ruts around without concern to anything than trying to spray enough sperm to get a girl preggers!”

That drew Penny’s laughter to a stop as she shuddered at the notion. She fervently hoped to never get into such a situation in the future. If she did she knew that most pureblood women tended to dalliance as much as the males after the matter of an heir were dealt with. Oh it was not talked about of anything but how often she had heard her own mother lament about the rest of her friends having such lackluster husbands. That there were rumors that the more dark inclined females tended to capture muggle men and women and use methods more lasting and complete than the imperious to keep a flock of willing and eager sexual partners was not one she wanted to think about. Still the notion of discrete sexual escapades was so enticing.

“That is something that I admit to having some worry about in the selection of males here,” Penny said closing her eyes and trying to reach a nice state where such worries are drowned out. “Still it seems that you got ahead of me there little sister. My current candidate seems to have issues in thinking on the truly important matters. He seems a bit young to be already planning on being married to the job. Well that and needing way too much training to please me… so are you going to let his hands wander more and make a discovery in what gets you off in addition to having those oh so thankfully easily excited tits of yours fondled?”

“Yeah it is great and all being so easily able to get there but think how inconvenient it is to be pointing in class like some of the boys do,” Tonks said as she pressed her thighs together rubbing as she reveled in the sensations she was enjoying. “Besides his hands did wander and it was so damn… I just can’t seem to describe it well…”

“Ah so your beau is skilled with his hands and teased your little cunt until you spasmed on his eager fingers,” Penny said as her own hand drifted while Tonks also let hers drift. “So this is the first time since this seduction and dating began that he purposefully had you cum from his fingers. Don’t freak out or anything that you were enjoying a skilled artist at work in pleasuring you. So did you reciprocate?”

“I was a bit to limp to try and by the time I recovered I let my doubts overcome me,” Tonks said as her fingers teased her sex. “He just seemed to know what to do and whisper to get me off like a firecracker.”

“Oh so he found a few buttons to push to get your mind more excited while also exploring where your sweet spots are,” Penny said picturing herself in the place of Tonks with Percy’s image before flickering to this unknown man. “It sounds like you went into shock from a very strong orgasm and it sounds like you plan on not denying that you want him to do that again. So would you let your hands ease his straining balls or are you willing to try something a bit more delicious?”

“Yeah if I hadn’t taken so long to recover that my doubts resurfaced I planned on stroking him and letting him cum on my face or tits,” Dora said huskily her fingers making squishing sounds that were echoed by Penny’s own. “Definitely wanted to see the look on his face as his cream stuck the flesh he had so recently made oh so warm!”

“My little sister it seems that you definitely have your head on straight!” Penny shuddered as she let herself picture the girl acting out just that. “You were half naked and masturbated to one hell of a cum by what it sounds like. You should have at least stroked one off for him after that. You must have soaked his hand cuming that hard!”

“Oh Merlin!” Dora said as her fingers became frantic. “I didn’t just soak his hands I actually squirted I came so hard!”

“Gods that must have been hot,” Penny said with a shudder. “Oh to have seen that I think I would have creamed myself!”

“Hah! You probably would have been locking so close you got sprayed!” Dora teased as she started panting her body flush and the warm feeling growing again. “Can you picture it Penny kneeling so close you could almost taste it? And then just when you think the image in front of you can’t get any hotter seeing a healthy young girl writhing around as her body is being played like a violin the finally. Your panting parched throat gets sprayed!”

“Fuck!” Penny shouted as she felt herself go. “That would be so hot!”

“Ah is big sister feeling her needy little slit trying to suck her fingers like they were a cock wanting to feel it spray her insides,” Dora said her body heaving as she watched her words affect her as theirs had her earlier. “Or are you thinking about licking your parched lips as they are wettened with an eager pussy fountaining into your eager and needy mouth? Why you would even suck his fingers clean or been willing to have licked the fresh cum off wouldn’t you? You would have buried your face to lick even quicker if it had been his cock plunging inside and getting to taste the two of us together wouldn’t you?”

“Yes!” Penny agreed her peak rising again from Dora’s words. “It would have been so good!”

“Just you wait Penny,” Dora said as she slowed her fingers playing with her slightly over sensitive spots. “It will happen eventually. I wonder how eager you will be to eat my pussy from his fresh cum or you likely would love me to writhe on that tongue as he shows that he is as good with his cock as his fingers as he plows your eager cunt stuffing it with cum which I will then suck out while you do the same for me.”

Dora reluctantly wobbled from the bed as she saw Penny flop to the bed her fingers still buried to the palm in her pussy. A moment she wondered if she could fit the whole hand in there since she only saw the thumb outside and it was rubbing around her clit. She really would need to figure out a quicker way to wash her panties as they seemed to keep getting soaked.

‘Maybe I should go without,’ Dora thought as she contemplated how that would ease such matters. ‘Well it would enable my lovers willing fingers to have quicker access and I know that Hermione doesn’t wear any either. Then again she does have the tendency to be direct in such matters. Now why do I get the sudden picture of Harry taking her in the nooks and crannies that they have been using to seduce me? More so why do I believe that before the school year ends that I am willing and eager to be taken against any surface that they want. Yes he will likely be more than willing to slide inside any of our eager holes by then. I guess the panties go as well as the bra as it seemed far too readily removed. I wonder how Penny would jill off getting to watch Harry mount me when I drop a quill. That seems like something to try at some point in the future. So no panties for this girl unless I plan to have a toy held snug without a charm…’

Dora slowly made her way from Penny’s bed to the door stopping only to hold her slick fingers to her open mouth. She had enjoyed Penny doing that and while it was not blatantly sexual any more than any other arousing sight it felt damn good. Oddly enough Dora was willing to rewet her fingers before offering them to the dreaming Penny’s lips to lick and suck clean. Finally while suckling on her finger she watched as Penny shuddered and her finger withdrew with a whimper lying still next to her spread legs.

‘I sucked her bloody wand off right after withdrawing it from her cunt,’ Dora thought with a sensual smirk. ‘She sucked my finger clean so since I didn’t reciprocate for him I might as well for her. Still I didn’t tell her that he had a girl watching as I writhed on his fingers and that her fantasy was fulfilled by someone. Odd that Hermione didn’t bury her lips to mine considering all that we had done before…’

Reluctantly Dora left the room after licking Penny’s fingers clean and placing them to her mouth so she might suspect she had licked her fingers clean. That she had let those fingers brush across her damp and now uncovered sex was immaterial even if she shuddered as Penny mumbled things thinking such naughty thoughts that she felt very reluctant not to indulge in right there and now. She could see why more partners might be very rewarding. Having her tits, lips, neck and cunt being ravaged at the same time would be quite thrilling.

‘Thoughts and actions for later,’ Dora thought as she very reluctantly walked from Penny’s door after closing it quietly. ‘Hermione did imply that he had other willing toys. I wonder if they will be as prone to turning into complete sex starved sluts at the mere inclination of sexual or sensual relations. Now there is an image for a possible deflowering. Hermione sitting on my face while two others suck my tits while my shrieks as he takes me is muffled as Hermione grinds her pussy against my tongue. I do wonder if it will be like that even if it is far from how I dreamed it as a little girl. Still considering how they implied one has a very strong fixation on him taking her ass there is a chance that I will do so. Hmm sixty-nining with Hermione after both of us get a belly full sounds a good way to start. Yes and both getting a good spanking or even more before he slides unwaveringly into our eager squirming hole!’

Dora was not going back for a while and was planning on using every toy she had at her disposal when she got to her room. While it was likely that her seducer would very willingly bring her to orgasm it was not likely that they would end the game so soon and allow her to pleasure them. Likely they would perform for her and only when she was completely willing to take any and all attention that they provided finally allow her to reciprocate fueled by all the extra energy and need that would be burning through her body. Based on the toys they had for their own play she knew that she would likely learn to love each one and thank them repeatedly for using them and her so satisfyingly.

Kiki was wandering the halls of Hogwarts and as it was night there was no worry for being bothered by the people that went there during the days. There were plenty of things to eat even if the green skinned ones were grudgingly not food. At least he let her eat a few meaty things every now and again. The inability of any of the prefects of professors that wandered the halls to notice let alone track her was a very amusing thing for her.

Why the two were spending so much time doing that left her quite confused. She had seen the confused one heading to the other’s room and she stunk so much like her master and his other willing servant did before they went and did that. Dismissing it as some older person’s game that she felt no interest in she carefully had left the tower and made her way in search of food and new things. This place had enough secrets to distract her for a very long time.

Ignoring the kitchen and the green things that brought a seeming never ending amount of food, Kiki bounced around the hallways jumping in a very child like manner chattering that if the prefects of professors had heard would have frightened them dreadfully. At least the complete asexuality that she had seemed to balance the over sexuality that the others were going through if it had not been for that it would take most of their years before they found anything of interest.

Passing the also rarely noticed green things, Kiki shook her head in disgust at the over helpful beings. If it had not been for the one that served her masters she would have had far too many to eat as they seemed to be almost as numerous as the vermin she was snacking on. A poor stupid rat made the mistake of getting to arm reach of the quiet yet still rapidly moving small and limber form. That was its last mistake and both were gone with just a quick crunch echoing around the hall.

Kiki was not the most straightforward of thinking entities. Her personality and mental state was a very young child and it would likely take centuries before her mental state grew beyond the simple need-want-have stage. It was a very good reason that Snape had never met her or his first impulsive attempt at Legilimency would have had more dire and permanent effects than his ill-conceived attempt to violate Harry’s mind. Kiki had taken a very firm hand to allow her to develop some sense of subtlety and not just kill and eat anything and everything that she either did not understand or annoyed her.

So where would she explore tonight was the closest thought passing through her mind. Partially tempted to play with the big furry puppy or risk the anger of Harry if she nibbled a few of the others’ pets. Why he hadn’t let her eat the not rat she was unsure of but would ask if she remembered it. Suffice it to say that she had a very short attention span and found it very satisfying that the green things would let her butcher the meat.

That Harry would understand her chattering to be a rather disturbing children’s song modification was part of why she liked wandering on her own. Personally she hoped one of the oblivious would get hurt as Harry had never told her that she couldn’t eat as it would be wasteful otherwise. The blond and red headed bad speaking boys had been lucky that Harry had told her not to cause any accidents or both would have plunged to their deaths before becoming dinner.

Her head snapped to the direction she felt the wave of power coming from him. Something was happening but felt a need not to follow him this time. Personally she had hoped that many heads would have shared his bite with her. The greasy one would have been delicious with the way his emotions would have seasoned his flesh. Why he let that one go she was uncertain of. Perhaps it had something to do with the door he slept on.

‘Eh it didn’t matter to her and oh there was another crunchy snack,’ Kiki thought as she reacted. ‘Food come here food!’

Snag went her hand and with a sickening crunch the poor helpless creature was crushed and quickly digested.

‘Hmm… meat! It was always good!’ Kiki thought or resembled to do so. ‘Meat, meat, give me something good to eat. Grind it up and fry it, slice it up and grill it, chop it up and bake it! Just give me some meat!’

Yes Kiki was more centered on her hunger than anyone even the human disposal known as Ron. At least she had manners and didn’t let food fall out of her mouth like that boy did. Well there was also the rather sadistic tendencies to carve her food up alive or sometimes to the others at first eating and gnawing on the still attached and sensitive parts. There was something about gnawing on ones leg bones while the blood loss temporarily was rendered unable to grant unconsciousness. Her teeth were more than able to slice through flesh as well as bone with remarkable ease.

Unknowingly even the ghosts felt a sudden irrational need to stay away from where she went much in a similar manner to her master. It was that in part which had allowed the three of them to wander so much without being discovered. The portraits tended to be unable to locate them even if they were standing right there. A remnant of the magic used to create them that their presence interfered with.

A new room soon came to view and Kiki remembered to draw where she was and how she had gotten in. At least her ability to communicate through writing was well in advance of her verbal abilities. Her drawings thankfully did not resemble anything like the stick figures her living self had barely been able to draw. Turning there was not much to the room.

‘A mirror was there and oh pretty,’ Kiki thought before becoming entranced by the strange moving images in the mirrors surface.

Sadly the mirror would hold her attention for a little time at least. She didn’t really have to worry about wasting away but not eating would drain her strength but not do more than render her into an enchanted sleep. The visions that assaulted her did not make too much sense to her.

She could understand her master having his goals reached but why was she granted a form like theirs? Would she feel the same strange needs that they did? Why they were not satisfied with blood and death and needed this other hunger to be sated? She just could not understand why such a slight amount of physical effort made them feel so good. Odd that they acted after a few moments as if they had drank enough fresh blood to fill their bellies. She chalked it up to any other strange living person thing as she became entranced by the sights before her eyes.

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…’

“Let me get this straight,” Hermione said slowly the following morning her head held in her hand a groan of disbelief flowing from her lips. “You went into the forest alone in the dead of night and didn’t bring me with?”

“Well you were recovering if you recalls,” Harry tried to remind her, “or does the fact that you had orgasmed from being caressed by a crop until your muscles were sore and you were unable to do more than shudder not familiar? I seem to recall you begging for more and seemed to really be into the session for you to forget that unlike normal playing that healing would be more intensive than just flushing built up acids!’

“You could have easily given me a taste of blood to get better,” Hermione grumbled in irritation. “Instead you go gallivanting in the forest alone trailing something you were unsure of what it was or how dangerous it was. Damn it Harry! Do you have any idea how worried I was?”

Wrapping his arms around her irate form Harry slowly leaned his head to rest near her and said, “Hermione I know that you worry and I know that you care for me but sometimes we have to do what we have to do. I was just going to investigate something and the next thing I know…”

“Things went downhill,” Hermione said with a pout. “At least tell me that something useful came from the situation!”

“Relax I ended up with a bit of backup from an unexpected source,” Harry said as he stroked her hair and back trying to calm her down some more. “Who would think that Dumbledore’s phoenix is not a complete puppet? I don’t think that they will be sharing too much time if his disgust at his companion’s mistakes is anything to go by.”

“Well that is something,” Hermione said with a sigh as she leaned into the massage that Harry was expertly using to relieve her tension. “Was there anything else of interest?”

“Yeah whatever it was out there ran like crazy from necromantic fire,” Harry said thoughtfully. “Whatever it was seemed to be even odder than Peeves…”

“How so?” Hermione asked in interest even as she rubbed against his skilled fingers. “Oh that’s the spot. Hmm… it seems that a massage should be added to our schedule besides the ones in the shower.”

“Oh and have you become so relaxed that you fall asleep leaving me to handle the situation that caressing your body would cause,” Harry said trying to sound offended. “Alright it would be almost as soothing giving a massage as receiving. Still a good reason to see that Dora finishes her protesting, she does seem to be more eager every few encounters. I think that it is fortunate that we are unable at this time to reach her.”

“Yeah it would help having a second set of hands or do you think that Alice was not going to try to get one soon,” Hermione said with a purr. “I give fair odds that even if she didn’t tell us what she has been up to exactly that she has grabbed at least one playmate. A shame that whoever it is will be left alone in Surrey next year… still they can keep an eye on things from what she told me. Now was there a reason that you neglected to mention that you were the default leader there?”

“It didn’t seem important at the time and while I was one of the leaders there was at least one other that was a decent enough rival,” Harry said as Hermione slowly moved to lie on her stomach. “John did a good job keeping the other boys in line which only left Dudley and the few special needs buddies of his. Seriously Alice was for the most part keeping the girls in line while I spent more time studying when I was not trying to get both of them closer to a level to assist me in the more complex magics. Well there was that entire potion brewing and ingredient harvesting to bring in some money since the Dursleys even with the threat of grievous would give me any more than they had to do. Even after I found out about Gringott's there was no way that I would risk Dumbledore not knowing I was informed about magic instead of being less informed than most muggleborns.”

“So it was something that didn’t seem to be a big deal to you so you… oh that’s the spot!” Hermione groaned as his hands distracted her thoughts. “Where was I? Oh! Just like that! HMM… that feels so good! Ah! Didn’t tell me?”

“Well I guess we know better than to try to have a conversation where you respond when you’re being massaged,” Harry said with a sigh as he felt her muscles relaxing even more as Hermione started to become very vocal with her appreciation of the job he was doing. “Just relax and listen ok?”

“Hmm hmmm,” Hermione murmured in agreement as the heavenly sensations continued. “All... right!”

“Good girl,” Harry murmured into her ear appreciatively. “Now it wasn’t something that I kept secret I just didn’t bring it up still there are more important things to think about…”

An inquisitive groan came from Hermione as she decided that it was far too difficult to think let alone speak clearly under Harry’s skilled hands. That he was now sitting nudged against her ass with her laying on her back legs and arms limp and spread to the side was part of why he was focusing on talking. Mostly it was due to the fact that he was barely apart from her and he kept chiding himself for going completely sex mad and it was almost as bad as the time when he found Alice and Anne had spent most of a weekend locked up with just food and water while they explored each other. At the time he had been grateful that he hadn’t walked in on that as some things can completely destroy ones control and that sight would have put him behind more so than the current period of sex madness.

“Oh right,” Harry said in response to her noise of inquiry his hands now working along her spine towards her lower back. “I think that I have been neglecting the combat aspects of necromantic fire in a use besides evidence disposal. Whatever it was, it seemed to run off like mad with just a glancing blow. Odd sound it made as well. It wasn’t the sound of someone being burned would make but still hurt something fierce.”

If Hermione had been able to convince her body to do more than moan in response it would be that a new area that they hadn’t thought to investigate had been realized. It was a shame that they would need to get a place to test it and some sort of test subjects. Maybe there was somewhere in the school that was even more secure from monitoring that they could use? She made a note to ask the house elves the next chance that she could or likely Harry would as she was in no way able to move. A part of her wondered if this sort of situation would be ideal for their first consummation of their odd relationship.

‘No I cannot think about Harry just entering me when I am so pliant especially right now,’ Hermione chided while his hands were lifted to a new spot giving her precious moments of clarity. ‘Still the idea has merit in the future and even if I don’t get to try that first either Anne or Dora would love the complete submission that such a state would give. To think that I am likely so relaxed that some of the more shocking things that I read about would likely have a very minimal chance of causing strain.’

Before Hermione could get distracted by those notions, Harry’s hands were once more working her limber and lithe body to an unresisting and pliable form. It was a very good thing as if Hermione had been able to verbalize it she would have likely pissed Alice off by getting the jump on her with Harry’s own restriction no longer mattering do to her level of relaxation. It was a very good thing that Harry had previous experience to control himself from two most likely nymphomaniac leaning girls.

Still it was a good thing that their day had a good few hours for her to recover from before making an appearance or things might have been harder to maintain. At least Hermione when she recovered and recalled what had been told to her in that soothing state would be able to itemize their close term objectives in more detail. Harry wished to scour the school for all pertinent knowledge and that would require sifting through masses of unrelated knowledge. That they now needed to search for a place to practice properly was of pressing concern only offset by the unwinding that their recent sexual and sensual interactions had with or without their future participant being involved.

‘Still there is the matter of those two to deal with in a most public and humiliating manner,’ Hermione thought as he slowed his approach to her often eager ass. ‘Now if I could just move a hair closer and I could get a bit of friction from more than his hands…’

As soon as Harry’s hands had reached her still slightly red cheeks, Hermione made just enough of a movement to dissuade any proper discussion. With barely ignored supplication, Harry put the matter to rest. There was time enough before they needed to be seen for a bit of playing and it was not like they had clothes in their way at the moment and Hermione was just so willing.

Suffice it to say that the two were very grateful for the speed boost that Harry had learned the night before as they would have been very late to breakfast otherwise. A sensual massage of a willing girl will do that to a guy especially when they focus too much on giving their all to their recipient than they do the clock. As it was they were barely dried off from the quick rinse they had and Hermione had a very warm smile from the way her morning had started. Sadly the rest of the day would be marred by the actions of a few idiots. Still they were able to look fondly at the day as a whole.

They had time enough to accomplish their goals and regardless of how driven Harry could be at times there was the simple matter that with any of his girls to watch out for him there was little risk of Harry burning himself out. Drive was an important thing but Harry crippling himself wither it was magically, physically, mentally or emotionally was not something that Hermione could allow. She accepted that each had responsibilities to the other in their relationship and while she felt a pang of concern for her cousin being out of sight or more to her mind Harry’s ability to safeguard there was no reason for letting this more pressing duty be shirked. The old saying may be all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, but Hermione had seen several of the other students in the accelerated program burn out, choke or otherwise crack under the pressure they put themselves or their parents put them through.

‘What greater pressure would there be than the burning need to know that an orphan has for a missing parent?’ Hermione wondered as they used a few simple tricks to hide how much and how quickly they were working their way through breakfast. ‘No greater fear of failure is the feeling of disappointment compared to having never dared. To you my first true friend I have dedicated my all. Whatever is required I shall do even if it is to crawl across the depth of the pains of the flesh, causing the ground to be soaked in blood I have shed or even the disgust my family may have for what I will do! I! Shall! Do! It!’

Unbidden Hermione had dug her nails into the palms of her hand. Unnoticed to most she brought the bloody appendage to her mouth and confirmed to herself yet another oath to him. She would bleed for him, do unimaginably cruel acts if it brought his goal closer and she knew that without a shred of doubt that she would gladly kill for him when he asked. She was as dedicated to her lord and master as Bellatrix Lestrange was to hers only Harry would reward her and the anguish she would feel in disappointing him was to her worse than any torture or punishment could be.

Alice and Anne had willingly shed blood for him offering it as well as their pleasure and pain to his needs. They had with great joy killed whenever he had asked and would as gladly do so again. Perhaps it was Anne who was the worst in terms of her loyalty and willingness to serve. Neither Alice nor Hermione would so easily do any act if he but asks it. No matter how degrading, painful or offending would Anne refuse and would in fact do so gladly. It was something that would likely have unnerved Harry if he was anyone else but he knew and they knew that there were certain things that he had no interest in. It was perhaps fortunate that they would have Sarah for home and Tonks for at Hogwarts until she graduated.

Little did the two know but someday they would be needed to protect those around them similar to the way they had before coming there. Despite the many attempts to sugarcoat the world to the children these were ones not fooled by such things. They had many enemies surrounding them sometimes knowingly and unknowingly cooperating to control them. Harry knew of three sides he would have to deal with someday: the Ministry, the Death Eaters and Dumbledore’s own minions. Sadly for someone dedicated to such a cold goal, Harry would find that many would flock to whatever protection that they could find and at least he was more honest in what he required for those in his service.
