Chapter 14: A Punishment Complete
Harry rose early that Saturday morning and after chaining Hermione to the bed he gently kissed her on the forehead and left the letter on his pillow for her. With a sigh he left the room and headed across the suites common room and into the other bedroom. Standing in the doorway he cocked his head to one side and stifled a laugh as he saw a sight he had never expected.
Dobby was standing in the middle of the room wearing a denim pillowcase and a big yellow muggle hardhat the hardhat had two holes in it that his large ears poked out and he was manipulating the wall at the far end of the room.
Harry sighed and asked what was becoming a common question with dobby. "umm dobby what are you wearing?"
Dobby turned to Harry and went a strange greenish color that Harry recognized as an elf blush. "Master Harry Sir, youse told Dobby that the room had to be done by this morning and told Dobby that safety was important so dobby asked some of the other students what construction safety was. They told Dobby that muggles wear yellow hard hats for safety but didn't know why. So dobby found a hat at a muggle building site. Dobby also saw the muggles wearing clothing made of this blue stuff. It took dobby a long time to find apillowcase made of this" Dobby hung his head in shame, "Dobby is sorry Master Harry Potter Sir but he is not going to be done on time because he had to spend so much time looking for the safety things."
Harry only barely managed not to burst into tears of laughter. "Umm... that's ok Dobby safety is very important to me. Umm when will you be finished with the room?" Harry looked about and couldn't see anything else that needed to be done.
Dobby hung his head again and said, "Dobby is sorry Master Harry Potter Sir but the room will be a whole ten minutes late."
Harry again tried not to laugh. "Oh I see well umm if it was the safety that made it late I guess that's ok carry on Dobby"
The little elf nodded so hard the hardhat slipped over his eyes and after straightening it returned to his work as he muttered, "Dobby doesn't see how these hard hats is helping with safety."

Fifteen minutes after the amusing conversation with the hyperactive one elf construction crew Harry was standing outside the entry to the Slitheren Dorms in his best robes waiting.
With a few more minutes waiting and a few strange looks as Slitheren students exited their common room the portrait opened again and the two students he had been waiting for stepped out talking quietly together. They quickly noticed him and Daphne seemed to pale a little as Tracy raised an eyebrow at him.
Harry smiled what he hoped was a pleasant and non threatening smile at that pair and motioned them over.
Daphne who was normally so strong and self assured lent on Tracy for a moment as she saw him standing their waiting and after a moment of indecision let herself follow Tracy over to the young lord
Feeling Daphne lean on her a little Tracy sucked in her breath and they approached Harry and spoke with a quick respectful nod of the head. "Lord Potter how can I serve you this morning?"
Harry frowned a little. "Please Tracy Call me Harry..."
Harry was about to continue when Tracy spoke again, "my apologies my lord but my master insists that I be properly respectful to all within the life and as you have taken a position I must address you this way."
Harry thought for a moment and nodded. "Very well Tracy Iwould not want you to get in any trouble. I have a bit of a problem and I need you both to help me out if you can. The problem is lifestyle in nature and needs to be resolved today are you both available?"
Daphne nodded immediately without thought and Tracy looked across at Harry wondering what could be up. After a moment thought Tracy nodded slowly, "As long as your request is not against my rules I would be happy to assist you milord."
Harry smiled, "I doubt that it would require you o break any rules can you please come to the heads suite as soon as you have finished breakfast?"
Tracy looked at Daph and recognized the need in her to help Harry as soon as possible. Turning back to Harry she said, "We will accompany you now milord breakfast is trivial next to your needs."
Harry thought for a moment and shook his head in wonder, "ok then let's go."

Reaching the entrance to the head suite Harry and the two girls found Luna waiting for them to arrive.
Looking over to Harry she looked somber and spoke, "I felt the need to be here this morning."
Harry smiled at the odd blond and simply nodded before opening the portrait and entering the suite.
Leading the three girls into the newly renovated head girl's room he noticed that Dobby had outdone himself there was a large wooden frame standing in the middle of the room that he could see would be able to be rearranged to secure a person to in many different positions. Either side of the frame was an iron cage hanging from the ceiling and what looked like an over sized wooden rocking horse. In the corner there was a large throne like chair and there were thick sheepskins thrown about the whole room a fireplace was in the far wall and the floor in front was covered by even more thickly furred animal skins.
Hearing two gasps behind him Harry turned back to the door and saw Tracy standing wide eyed as she looked about the room, Daphne was leaning against the door way her chest rising and falling quickly and Luna had skipped over to the deep couches along the back wall of the room and almost threw herself into the padded seating.
"Wow Harry I love what you have don't to the room."
Harry smiled at Luna and gestured the other two to the couches. "Have a seat and I'll tell you what is happening"
Waiting for Tracy and Daphne to take a seat and he noticed that Daphne stayed close to Tracy her hands almost clinging to her friend Harry started to explain. "About two weeks after Hermione and I started our relationship Hermione willfully broke one of my rules. The rule was simple that she was not to wear underwear. When I found out I asked her about it she didn't say anything about forgetting so I am left to believe she did this with areason."
Luna nodded serenely and the other two gasped Tracy covering her mouth with her hand in shock.
"luckily, I had just read a chapter on punishment and decided I should not punish her then and there but rather wait till I have calmed down"Harry paused and saw Tracy and Daphne nod, "so last night I read the book you gave me yesterday and I have decided I wish to have you whiteness the punishment."
Tracy looked up. "Umm Harry we trust you are doing what you feel needs to be done with the Charm you used we are already completely happy that whatever punishment you have in mind will not require any intervention from the families."
Harry looked at Tracy, "errr I thought you had to be formal with me?"
Tracy blushed. "Oh umm that's only in public and you did ask me to call you Harry." She started to look worried.
Harry Nodded, "oh ok then nop Harry's fine I just didn't want to think you were going to get in trouble. No there are two reasons I wanted you both here; the first is I want Hermione to know other people know she made a mistake and has been punished for it. And the second." Harry started to blush, "well I would like to talk to you both after to see how you think Iwent. I'm really nervous about this I don't want to do it at all but from what I have read if I don't do it she will see me as weak and that could kill the relationship... so I want you to tell me how you think I did later."
Tracy looked up into the young man's eyes tears beginning to form in her own. "Oh Harry its hard being a master to someone all of the masters I know say the same thing. They all say that punishing their slaves is harder on them than on the slaves. But take it from me you have to do this Iwas punished once for something I did and without that I would have hated myself and my master for being weak. The books you have read are right you know, you have to do this and you have to make it hard for her. In the end she will love and respect you more for it."
Daphne beside her simply nodded her agreement. Internally Daphne was amazed at the strength f the man in front of her. The wetness between her thighs was increasing and just being close to him was hard she was so close to ripping off her robes and throwing herself at his feet begging him to take her vow. Somehow as she clung to Tracy's arm she managed to control herself.
Harry looked about the room and took a deep breath. "Luna can you go into my room and get Hermione please?"
Luna nodded solemnly and bounced out of the room. Harry drew a deep breath and as he waved his wand the animal skins and furs disappeared from the center of the floor and two large racks of implements floated in from the common room finally coming to rest against the wall opposite the fireplace.

Hermione lay awake for nearly an hour before the door to the room opened. Looking up she saw Luna come into the room and approach the bed.
Looking down on the naked witch on the bed Luna sat on the edge and reached out to stroke Hermione's head. "He loves you a lot you know. You really hurt him with what you did and it's hurting him more to have to punish you."
Tears sprang to Hermione's eyes and she nodded. "I know I was stupid... so stupid and it nearly cost me my dream. I don't know what he has planned but I deserve it and I know for damn sure I won't be making the same mistake again."
Luna smiled at her. "Im glad you realize."
Clipping a leash to the collar Luna scrambled about and undid the chains holding the young slave in place and with a gentle tug said, "come on then time to get this done."
~*~
Harry watched the door with some dread and Tracy and Daphne watched Harry.
A few minutes after Luna left she returned with Hermione following along behind her. Hermione's chin was resting on her chest and her shoulders were slumped. Harry stepped forward and took the leash from Luna and lead Hermione who had not noticed the other guests to the center of the room where he grasped he shoulders and applied some downward pressure making her sink to her knees on the hard stone floor.
Harry took a deep breath. "Miss Granger... you have broken arule of mine and will be punished in front of witnesses for doing so."
Hermione looked up and saw the three witches in the room Luna with a somber expression and Tracy and Daphne looking at her with nearly identical looks of sorrowful acceptance.
Harry continued to speak. "The whiteness have been told about the incident in question and have all agreed that punishment must be given. You have had time to think about the actions you took and have told me you know why you performed such actions I wish you o now explain your reasons."
Hermione looked at Tracy and Daphne then over at Luna tears forming in her eyes before looking directly t Harry. "Master... I made a gevious error and attempted to control you I have no defense for my actions as I was clearly wrong in taking them. At the time there were two things happening within my head. And while neither excuses me I will attempt to explain."
Hermione took a deep shuddering breath, "the first thing and the only thing I realized at t time was that I was horny as hell. Master I am avirgin and you had spent two weeks playing with me pushing things seep into my cunt and ass using my mouth to relieve the pressure on your cock. My world was spinning but I wanted more I wanted you to use me fully I gave you my body and I wanted you to fully claim it my cunt is available for your use at any time. At the time I thought that by wearing panties you would get a little angry with me and finally claim me fully. I wanted you to punish me by jamming your wonderful cock into my cunt and stretching it open as it has never been stretched before. In this way I attempted to control you and for that I beg you to punish me."
Hermione took a few deep breaths and looked about the room again the look on Tracy's face was one of knowledgeable sympathy but Daphne and Luna were unreadable.
Hermione took a deep breath and continued, "the second thing and at the time unknown to me but in my opinion the far worse crime was that Ineeded you to prove yourself to me." Gasps were heard from the two Slitheren girls as Hermione carried on, "when I started looking at the life I wished Iread a lot about people who said they could be dominant but wimped out with the hard stuff. When you told me that you wanted to be there for me in this way Iwas so happy but taking it slow over those two weeks I apparently started to have subconscious doubts about you and to me that is nearly unforgivable. You are my master and I should never doubt you. I hate that I needed you to punish me for willfully breaking your rules and I beg you to believe me that your actions since that have squashed any doubts I had about our strength and ability to control me. For my doubts in you I beg you to punish me harshly."
Tracy and Daphne cried together on the couch clinging to each other as they heard the words of doubt flow from the young muggle bourn witch.
Harry looked over at the couch and sighed looking down at Hermione he spoke, "I understand your doubts pet and I myself have doubted that I was strong enough to control you. I'm glad you accept you have done wrong and I accept the reasons you have given.
Walking over to the kneeling witch he took her hand and fastened a cuff about her wrist then about the other offered wrist. With asharp tug on her wrist he prompted her to stand. With Hermione stood facing the three witches on the couch Harry attached the wrist cuffs to chains that lowered from the top of the frame and then attached the ankle cuffs to chains coming in from the sides. Harry attached a short length of chain to between the two wrist cuffs and with a flick of his wand the chains started to retract into the frame slowly pulling Hermione's arms above her head and her legs apart.
When the chains were all taught Harry stepped forward and slowly ran his hands over the alabaster skin that was displayed to the room with a sigh he cast several silence charms on the room and door not forgetting the ceiling floor and the window.
Looking over at Hermione he sighed again. "I love you pet and it pains me to do this to you. Beg me to punish you."
Hermione moved about a bit and took in a deep breath. "Please Master I have failed you, I have seen the error of my way I beg you to punish me for my stupidity.... Please master correct me... punish our worthless slut."
Harry nodded and walking over to the wall selected a few implements. Stepping back to the girl in the center of the room he spoke again. "You were wrong but you are not worthless to me slut. You are in fact worth a great deal to me and for that I will punish you if you were worthless I would have ended it."
As he finished he swung the thin leather paddle he was holding landing the blow across the outside of her hip. The sharp impact of the paddle made Hermione lurch to the side and she sucked in her breathe grunting in pain. Slowly Harry walked about the restrained witch the paddle rising and falling ac cross her hips and ass as he moved. On his second pass around her the paddle started to strike lower and most of the blows landed on the top of her thighs some in the tender inner side some on the outer. Finishing the second circuit he stopped in front of her and landed the next ten blows on her tits the last one on each directly onto her sensitive nipples.
By the time Harry had finished the second circuit Hermione was sobbing the pain from the blows was intense and he hadn't done any warming up at all the blows on her breasts caught her by surprise and caused her to scream out.
As he landed the last blow on each breast Harry felt the first twinge from the safeword spell and was glad to get it. He knew she would take whatever ha gave her but this was a sign that her safety was not at all in question.
Stepping back Harry dropped the Paddle and unfurled the four foot whip he had in his other hand. Taking two practice swings he cracked the whip about a foot in front of Hermione's face.
Hermione sobbed and shuddered as the whip cracked in front of her and she muttered. "Thank you master."
Tracy watched the proceedings with the knowledge that she was glad it wasn't her up there. Each slap of the paddle landing made her wince alittle and she could feel the small jump from Daphne as they landed. As Harry stood back and let the whip go Tracy shuddered herself she had tasted a whip in her own master's hand and she knew how much they could hurt. The crack of the whip bought her out of her reverie and she watched as Harry shook his shoulders and bought his arm back for a third time.
Harry stood there with his arm drawn back and after a moment pause he looked about the room his eyes lingering on tracy. Steeling there for a moment he saw her give him a small nod and he returned his attention to Hermione's pale skin his swing was not as hard as the practice swings of a moment ago but the tip of the whip reached out and kissed the tender flesh on Hermione's torso about midway between the bottom of her breast and her hip.
Hermione cried out as the tip of the whip landed on her the pain lanced out from the landing site into her body and seemed to run up her torso like a line of fire the pain not as intense as the paddle but far more localized.
Harry swung again and the tip of the whip landed on the other side of Hermione's body at about the same height and he again winced internally as she cried out though with no twinge from the safeword charm he knew she was ok.
Over the next few minutes the whip in his hands rose and fell each time reaching out and causing the bound girl in the middle of the room to cry out in pain Harry started to move slowly about the room and one of his strokes reached out a little further than the others and the tip of the whip fell across her breast leaving a deep red mark less than an inch from his slaves sensitive nipple.
Hermione screamed out in pain as a line of fire erupted from her breast it felt like the skin had been broken and she was sure Harry would stop with that this surety was dashed moments later when another line of fire lanced out from her lower torso.
Harry continued for another minute with the whip before stepping back and regathering the paddle. Stepping up to Hermione he placed the handle of the whip under her chin and lifted her face to look at him when he finally spoke.
"Your punishment is almost over do you have anything to say to me?"
Hermione listened to the words from her master and started to relax as he spoke to her then answered, "Thank you master."
Harry lent in and kissed his slave on the lips gently then as he pulled away from her again he bought the paddle up in a sharp slap directly into the girls exposed cunt landing the blow in such a way that both the fleshy lips and clit were impacted.
Hermione felt lent into the kiss and as Harry pulled away she felt a brief rush of air between her legs as the paddle came up the impact on her pussy caused her mouth to open and her breath to leave her the solid impact on her most private area hurt more than anything else she had ever experienced her knees buckled and what weight they were holding up was caught on her wrists tears that she thought were over sprung back to her eyes and she started to sob.
Dropping the whip and paddle Harry reached in and wrapped his arms about her a flick of his hand and the chains holding her lags apart released then moments later her arms were free. As the chains holding her arms up slackened off Hermione wrapped them about harries neck and clung to him sobbing into his neck assuring him she would never again challenge him.
On the couch Tracy looked to Daphne and quietly asked her, "Are you still sure about this?"
Daphne nodded as she replied, "He is a hard master but can you say it was too much?"
Tracy shook her head, "No."
Luna who had sat through the whole process with a grim look on her face lent over to the other two and placing her hand on Daphne's shoulder commented, "Let's take care of Hermione for Harry so that Tracy can talk to him for you Daphne."
The blond Slytheren looked at Luna with a shock and was for the first time in her life speechless.
Grinning Tracy patted Daphne on the shoulder and nodded. Standing the three of them walked over to Harry and Hermione. Luna and Daphne stood either side of Hermione and supported her as Tracy unhooked all the chain from the cuffs. Standing again Tracy laid a hand on harries shoulder.
"Harry let Luna and Daphne take Hermione to the bathroom clean her up and lay her down ok?"
Harry nodded and watched as the two blond girls took Hermione's weight and helped her out of the room. As the three of them left Harry slipped to the floor his hands coming up to his head and he started to cry softly.
Kneeling with him Tracy wrapped her arm about him, "Harry I now it was hard but it was fair. If I had done something like that I would have been on the sling for hours my master wouldn't have hit me as hard as you did but I would have been there for a lot longer. From what I have seen today you are a fair master and the fact that it has affected you like this says only good things about you."
Harry looked up at Tracy and managed to get himself under control,"thanks Tracy I was worried I you would tell me I was not hard enough or was too hard."
Tracy smiled, "you however have another problem."
Harry looked at her confused.
"how much do you know about the magic of D/s."
Harry shook his head a little, "I read the book you gave me and I found a few spells in other books but not much really."
Tracy nodded. "I thought as much. Ok here goes. When a baby is born into the families a charm is placed on them. The charm strengthens the natural dominance or submission of the child's personality. It has a few other effects one being that we don't have a moral issue with the lifestyle because of it and we don't have to wrestle with the question of preference. For example when I was born the spell found my submission was the stronger trait and reinforced it. You with me?"
Harry nodded still a little confused.
"It also helps those of us that are submissive to find aMaster or mistress. It works with our sexual preference and other things so that when we met a dominant person we can tell whether they are a good match for us. On the extreme end you can have what happened to me. 2 years ago I met a Dominant man at a family meeting and I knew instantly that he was to be my master. When it happens at that strength there can be no other master for the submissive if my master had not wanted another slave or I could not please him enough I would never have another master or mistress."
Harry looked at her with a scrunched up face, "umm but if you found your master and he accepted you then what does this have to do with me?"
Tracy looked at him for a minute, "no Harry not me I'm happy with my master." She laughed a bit, "no Harry not me Daphne. She felt it yesterday the strength you showed when you burst through the door and the support you showed caught her and I'm afraid today didn't help all she saw was you punishing the slave she considers a sister and was sad for Hermione but proud of you for being fair."
Harry looked somewhat shocked. "Oh Merlin."
"Ok Harry you need to decide what you want to do here. Its your decision and both Daph and I will accept it either way but you have to think about what is best for you and Hermione...Ok."
Harry nodded, "Ok."
