CHAPTER FORTY-FOUR: TURNING TIME
MONDAY, JULY 22nd, 1996 – Potter Manor, Charenwell.
It was his third time through Monday when he awoke with Luna and Mallory in his bed and he had to admit that while he was getting a lot more done in a "day" than would have been the case and it seemed this schedule would mean all of his ladies would enjoy far more quality time with him than even a few days before, and not just the sex bits, it was a good thing he had three people keeping him on his schedule. This could easily get confusing.
Monday, Version One began with Hermione and Luna in his bed in the Master's Chambers. He had seriously considered asking that Laura and Fiona be given the privilege as they had Love Bonded with him, much to his surprise given how reticent they had been up to then. They practically jumped him Sunday evening after the luncheon was over and all the guests had left. Laura made some statement about her father being a little put out she still hadn't done so. Fiona said it wasn't real to her until she saw her parents, sisters, brother and more nieces and nephews than names she could remember. They both said they'd probably begin the final step of their bond in the fall, that being becoming the mothers to Harry's children.
The morning after, breakfast was early as it probably would be for the foreseeable future during the week. The five new witches would not start flight training until next week, once Harry had talked to Mr. Jennings about the status of the "new" Tiger Moths and ground school classes, but he and the others would be in Ground School that morning. Well, Harry thought the Morning of Monday Version Three, the next morning for him. That first Monday Morning, he ate with all of his witches, as the fun of time turning was yet to confuse things. It was also because they would be joined by all the other Harems that morning for the week's Baby Boom results, as some were already calling it.
The first news from Mallory was that Minerva and Amber were indeed pregnant and their babies were magical and as healthy as could be determined at this early state. Minerva was going to have a daughter probably in early April. The Matriarch, for though a Matron she was the oldest person there and highly respected by everyone, was in tears when she was told and apologized to Harry for not having a name yet. She didn't want jinx it as this was her dream come true in many ways. Amber was also expecting in early April and she nearly passed out when she was told what she was having. Neville was flabbergasted. Amber was having twins, a boy and a girl. She had already thought of names, but had not told anyone and was glad it was one of each because she only had one boy and one girl name to recommend. So it was that her children would be named Harry James (after Harry as she'd leave a Neville to someone else) and Suzanne Alicia (after Susan and her mother).
There were only four new members to the Baby Boom club. George had his second week in a row of news as Shelly (Parker) Weasley was now expecting. George paled when Shelly's recently rescued sister Georgina announced she expected massive amount of "Georgie Time" 'cause she didn't want her sister to have all the fun. Fred was also having to again think about baby stuff as Danielle (Carter) Weasley was expecting as well. Fred was told that she expected the announcement to be published in that week's Darby Chronicle, the Daily in Port of Darby where her family currently lived. (They were on the list interested in possibly moving to Harry's "family" town.) This prompted Shelly to make the same request of George, as her family was there as well. Bill was on the hook too as Mary (Howard) Weasley was also expecting. The announcements were greeted by vigorous applause from the others, laughs and tears as well. Last, but certainly not least, Hermione was expecting. She practically launched herself at Harry when her name was called and Harry had to admit he felt wonderful all day afterward.
The good news made Harry change dinner plans from then on during his time turned days. He would dine that night out of the Manor with Hermione and Minerva, the two who he would sleep with later. On Version Two evenings, he would take out Luna and the witch who would be sleeping with them. On his final Monday nights, unless it was a birthday, he would dine with the rest of the family.
First Monday was to be spent on his Duke and Lord duties and his primary assistant would be Cissy. Promptly at nine, Cissy presented him with the six titles to the six witches from last week's Auction who would be brought in that day. Harry found that a little amusing, seeing as for him the bonding would occur the afternoon of his third Monday so that from now until then a part of him would be wondering how it went and his girls had to keep their mouths shut about it, unless there was an absolute and immediate need for him to know something before his Third Monday.
The afternoon schedule had to take into account that on what would be his third Monday afternoon, the next group of witches would be arriving for their bonding. He also had to remember that while he got three Monday's, for now his witches only had one, thus to include the five witches in his morning plans on this first Monday would mean he could include not the witches in his other Monday mornings. Minerva and Mallory had their work today with the new arrivals, after all, and the other seven would be at the Base.
So his first Monday morning, as he was scheduled to go to Jamestown to see the work and talk with the supervisors, he took Laura and Karen with him as they were from the area. They had lunch together at Martha's, which he needed to remember so that he didn't show up at the same place for lunch before Tuesday.
Monday afternoon, none of his witches were with him after lunch as for them there was the bonding. Cissy and he spent the afternoon inspecting the construction on the main estate and the site at the lake where the Weasley Manors were just breaking ground. He also had a chance to speak with the supervisor of that project (and the hotel already well underway) about two new houses and his plans for a town between the lake and the entry drive. He scheduled a meeting for the next "real" morning to begin talking details. He spent the remainder of the afternoon adding up figures from Daphne and Astoria's research into the families from Britain and the lists from the day before.
Assuming all the British families relocated, he would need 166 additional homes for this town for an additional 590 people. Each home would have a separate family. He also knew that if the "harems" were included, this new town would have 700 people by mid to late September. It would be larger than Potter's Vineyard from its outset. What staggered him were the number of children. Including the witches in the Harem's, there looked like there would be 116 children who were in magical schools, 70 in primary school including five year olds, and a staggering 137 under the age of five (and not including any from the Baby Boom.) At the very least, this meant he had to think about shops and a primary school as part of this new town.
The morning after his Duke Day, he awoke and had breakfast with Hermione and Minerva in his sitting room. For them it was Tuesday, but as soon as they left to begin their Tuesday, he used his Time Turner to begin Monday again. This time, once he was dressed he was off to R.A.F. Pottersport for his day of flight training. He had lunch at the base with his seven flying witches. That afternoon was spent flying and going over the beginnings of the Air Force. Six new Tiger Moths were on the flight line and another six were expected by the end of the week. Mr. Jennings assured him that the training could handle another large group beginning next Monday.
Harry met Luna and Dora in Pottersport for dinner. He did not know if he had already bound with his new witch or if that was after dinner and he did not ask. He had to admit, he was beginning to like this time with his girls even if it did not lead directly to bare naked bodies. He spent that evening in a sitting room going down a list he made. On Monday one, he had naked time with Hermione, Minerva, Laura, Karen and Mallory. Today he added or would add Luna, Mallory, Daphne, Astoria and Tabatha. That meant on Monday three he needed to have time for Fiona, Rhonda, Stacey, Ginny and his new girl. He then realized he already made a minor temporal mistake. Karen was to be the cross-bonder, which meant she'd get double Harry time. Oh well, Harry thought.
On the final Monday which began after he had breakfast with Luna and Dora in the Mistress's Sitting Room, he now realized he did not have to worry about temporal anomalies aside from perhaps bumping into himself, but as that had not happened, he knew it would not – at least not today. In the morning, he invited Tabatha, Fiona and Rhonda to join him for his magical training session which was in the Gym in the buildings just behind the Manor. Alice and Frank Longbottom were there with a few other witches from other families as well. The former Aurors would be supervising the session. It was exhausting and it was a good thing he had a little time to relax with his witches before, as he thought of it, the three timelines converged and all his witches were together again. And damn it if there wasn't another anomaly as that meant he had Tabatha time twice as well. Well, she didn't complain yesterday evening so Harry guessed she had no problem.
Lunch was in the Family Dining Room and Cissy, He remembered now that Cissy had spent her Monday morning going over the planning for the meeting with the Prime Minister and his people later in the week with Remus at Government House when Harry was off in Jamestown. He also had to shake his head remembering that at this moment, he was having lunch with most of his other women somewhere else. Thinking about it, he realized that only Mallory and Minerva were dining somewhere without him. He then decided it was best not to think of such things otherwise he might go 'round the twist.
Katie Bell's morning began quite normally. She was home for the summer with her family near Nottingham. Her parents were Muggles. Her father was a pharmacist and worked at a clinic in town and her mother taught primary school. As it was the summer, her mother had little to do aside from keep an eye on her three, magical children. Katie was the oldest and was set to begin her final year at Hogwarts in the fall. Her brother Justin had finished his Third Year at Hogwarts and, much to Katie's sometime dismay, had not done her any favors by being sorted into Gryffindor three years earlier. Justin might be her brother, but he could still be a pain. The youngest was Laura, who was eleven had had received her Hogwarts letter only days after Katie returned from school.
Katie had been worried all summer about what was happening in the magical world. She had not taken a subscription to a magical newspaper, which might have told her what was going on. The truth was they were hardly known for printing the truth where lies served their sponsor's more readily as Katie had observed over the past couple of years, so what was the point? Besides, as worried as she was about the return of You-Know-Who and his vile minions, she felt somewhat safe in the Muggle world and saw no reason to worry her parents about things they could not control and might not understand. What good news there was, was that now that she was seventeen, she was free to do magic outside of school and she had learned loads about Defense this past year thanks to her friends and her teammate Harry Potter. She figured she could get her family out of trouble if need be.
Today she was going to Diagon Alley. Two of her friends lived there now, or so they told her soon after she had returned home from Hogwarts. Alicia and Angelina had been on the Quidditch Team with her through this last year and were now finished with Hogwarts. In their last letter, they said they had "hooked up" with Fred and George Weasley and were living in a flat above a shop that the two pranksters were planning to open soon. Katie had not had a chance to go before today and as her friends were apparently living with the boys, was not certain her parents would be enthusiastic with a visit later in the Summer when they took her and the others shopping for school supplies. Fortunately, Katie could apparate as London was a full day trip by Muggle means from where they lived. It was also an excuse to take her wand and given the times, not having a wand was not a smart thing.
She left at eight in the morning, which seemed like a good time as while stores would probably be open, most shoppers arrived later so she would have time to spend with her friends. She had no idea if Alicia or Angelina were also working with their boyfriends, but figured that was probably a safe bet. She apparated from her family garage to an alley a block away from the Leaky Cauldron on Charing Cross Road in London. The Alley was said to be a safe place to arrive as the only Muggles who might be there were drunks and no one would believe them should they say they saw someone appear out of thin air. Fortunately the alley, while smelly and filthy, was also quite devoid of humans, although Katie would not be surprised if there were rats. She quickly walked to the main sidewalk and headed to the Leaky Cauldron.
The tavern was all but empty. Tom the Barman was sitting at a table reading a paper. The usually friendly owner looked up momentarily and then returned to his paper. Katie found that odd as he was usually a very outgoing sort. Maybe it was the hour. She walked into the alley behind the tavern and tapped a pattern on the brick wall. Even after seven years, watching the bricks rearrange themselves from a wall into an arch never lost its wonder. She smiled as she stepped through into Diagon Alley.
She had never seen the Alley so empty and depressing. It was almost as if everyone had left, and the number of closed up shops stunned her. She had never seen a closed up shop here before, windows boarded up and doors blocked. Ollivander's shop was a wreck. All the windows seemed to be broken and the door busted in. She glanced through the window and saw the shelves were empty. Katie wondered where her sister would get her wand if Ollivander was gone. Florean Fortesque's Ice Cream Shop was also abandoned. Some stores she knew looked like they were still in business, but it was hard to tell because in place of boards, the windows were plastered with handbills warning about Death Eaters and "Wanted" Posters. The office of the Daily Prophet was slightly different as the last day's Front Page was on display amid the handbills. The Headline was calling for the removal of Dumbledore as Headmaster. Katie snorted. The Alley looked abandoned and that damned paper is still on about Dumbledore. But there was another article that caught her attention:
MINISTRY ANNOUNCES MANDATORY CONCUBINE REGISTRATION
All Wizards In Possession of Any Concubine Must Register
Themselves And Their Property With The Department For
Regulation |and Control of Magical Creatures By August 15th
or Be Subject To Highest Fines on Record.
Katie was curious and as no one seemed to be looking, she nicked a copy and stuffed it into her purse, which fortunately was magically expanded on the inside. She'd read it later, but wondered what it was about. She knew what the Muggle word "Concubine" meant sort of. It was a sex slave or something similar. But she wondered what this was about. She's never heard of a magical creature called a Concubine.
She finally reached her destination. It was Number 97, Diagon Alley. It too looked abandoned and the front door was ajar. There were no signs whatsoever to suggest there was a shop here and she could not remember what shop had been here in the past. She stepped inside and saw it was empty. The barren shelves and floor were covered in a fine layer of dust.
"Hello?" she asked, pulling her wand.
It was at that moment something happened. The depressingly empty shop seemed to dissolve before her eyes and she soon found herself standing in a huge, ornate space that reminded her of a fancy hotel lobby. For a moment it was empty. Then two more figures appeared before her without a sound.
She recognized the taller one. The blonde haired girl was named Hannah Abbott and although Hannah was a year younger and from a different House, Hannah had been part of the D.A. last year.
"Katie?" Hannah asked.
Before Katie could answer, three more girls appeared one by one. She recognized them, but the only one she knew was Annette Barnes who was from Gryffindor and two years behind her, the same year as one of her other teammates Ginny Weasley.
"Where are we?" another girl asked.
Katie first decided to find out who they all were. The girl who seemed to be with Hannah was named Patti and was Hannah's younger sister. Pattie had finished her Third Year in Hufflepuff. The darker haired girl was Mandy Brocklehurst from Ravenclaw and one of the former Fifth Years who was not in the D.A. The last girl was Tammy Grey, another former Fourth Year and like Hannah and her sister she was also a Hufflepuff. Two of the girls looked like they had been getting dressed and the Abbott sisters were still in their bed clothes.
Two women soon entered without magic. One was definitely older than the other, although they both looked older than the six confused witches.
"My name is Mallory," the older one said, "and this is Roberta. "As it's obvious some of you are in a state of undress, we have robes for the lot of you. When your name is called, please raise your hand. Hannah Abbott?"
Hannah raised her hand and was handed a silken robe with the letter "N" over the left breast. She was instructed to wear it over her bedclothes. Pattie was next and received identical robes. Annette Barnes received a different colored robe from the Abbott sisters with the letter "F" on it. She was half dressed or more like mostly naked with just a pair of knickers and her bra and eagerly put on her new garment. Katie's robe was a different color altogether and had a letter "H" on it. Despite being dressed, she was asked to wear the robe. Mandy received yet another color with the letter "B." She too was only in her underwear and did not hesitate to cover up. Last, Tammy Grey received a fifth color robe with the letter "G" and put it on. Roberta told her that she would be Tammy's escort for the morning. Everyone wondered what that meant.
"Okay then," Roberta said, "any of you have your wands on you?"
Katie nodded and noticed she was the only one. Roberta looked at the other woman. "No worries, the rest of you," she said and left them.
The six witches in robes were then led to a sitting room where finally there was an adult they recognized.
"Professor McGonagall?" several voices asked.
Minerva McGonagall had been teaching for practically fifty years. She began the fall following the end of her final year at Hogwarts at primary school here in Charenwell while she worked on her Mastery in Transfiguration. For the last forty years she taught Transfiguration at Hogwarts. She thought of herself as a good teacher, and most all of her former students whether they had her years ago in primary school or later at Hogwarts would agree. But the last few hours was, in her opinion, the most important lesson she had ever given to any of the thousands of students in her long career.
It was only her third time giving that lecture. The first had been a week ago. That had been a small "class" of eight young women ranging in age from twenty to fourteen. The twenty-year old, Penelope (Clearwater) Longbottom, at least had a good idea about the subject of the lesson, which helped with the others. The day after, she gave a similar lesson to thirty young women. At least they were young to her. They ranged in age from sixteen to twenty-five. Unlike her first "class," all of them were very familiar with the subject matter.
Today, arguably, was her most difficult class. There were only six young witches ranging in age from fourteen to seventeen, but this was a group where none of them had any idea about the subject matter. She had to tell these young women about the truth of being a witch, something she was forbidden to teach at Hogwarts. She had to tell them about Consorts and Concubines and the social status of witches in general and Concubines in particular in Magical Britain. And then she had to tell these poor girls that their Magical Guardian had sold them off as Concubines.
In preparing for this lesson, she had spoken at length with the Muggle Borns and Muggle raised in this new world. There were not many prior to the Auction. Basically, she spoke at length with Harry, Hermione, Mallory, Stacey, Alicia and Angelina and with Mary (Howard) who was with Bill and Ellen (North) who was with George. They had all been Muggle Raised and she wanted their first impressions of the magical world.
It was these impressions, she knew, that were significant to most all Muggle Borns. The realization that magic was real and they were magical soon became a sense of hope and wonder (at least to everyone not named "Harry Potter," but having a psychotic Dark Lord obsessing over one's murder tends to put a damper on things.) There was a sense that the fairy tales and fantasies of their childhoods were real and could be for them. It was somewhat disturbing as most childhood fairy tales were very dark indeed. "And they lived happily ever after" seemed to be a common ending for the Muggles, but given the hell the hero and heroine had to go through to get there, it was little wonder why. The truth was the magical world was every bit as dark as their former world and in the present far less hopeful. The dreams of youth never measured up to the reality of adulthood, and the disparity was even greater in the Magical world in many ways.
It was hard to destroy a person to build them anew. In essence this was what she was doing. Every hope and dream these young women had before they arrived had to be replaced with hopes and dreams that they could achieve in this new life. The truth was they were the lucky ones. It was hard to convince a young teenage girl who would soon lose her virginity against her will and be bound to a wizard she might not even know or at best barely know that her life could actually be better than it might have been otherwise, but Minerva had to get them to start to think along those lines. The sooner they thought that way, the sooner they would accept their new life and move forward with their bonds.
But she was not so naïve as to believe she could accomplish this in a brief few hours. Most of the Muggle Borns from last week had yet to take the next step. Penelope had, but then again so had almost every woman for whom the Concubine Bond was not new. Of the newly bound, only Harry's Tabatha had taken that leap of faith so far. One of the points of this lesson was to encourage that leap. Minerva hoped the girls left here open to the idea of one day allowing their bond to mature to its fullest potential and she believed it helped that there were Concubines in all the Houses who were doing so. Over time, as they talked with their "sisters" they would see how lucky they truly were and how each of their wizards were looking out for them.
That was the other point to the lesson. These girls were destined to be Concubines if not from birth, then certainly from the moment their magical guardian saw fit to sell them off. They were never told how to avoid this fate and the truth was it was difficult for a young witch to avoid it. Hermione had been lucky in more ways than one. Susan and Luna were lucky to become Consorts as well. Angelina and Alicia were lucky that Dumbledore had not seen fit to sell them sooner (perhaps the Old Man was more interested in the Gryffindor Quidditch Team than lining his pockets at the moment, which was arguably why Katie had not been on the block last summer as well), but it was also now known the two girls' time had run out as they were on one of the original lists for this summer's auction. Only the Consort Bond had saved them from being in the same place. Arguably, it was the Consort Bond between Harry and Hermione that had saved all of them. She never said it, but Minerva was convinced that without Hermione, Harry would never have gone down this road to the same extent. He might very well have kept his inheritance and probably considered the Greengrass sisters, but Minerva was not certain he would have taken any others.
From Dora, Minerva learned that even in a fairly benign Concubine relationship, the witch could still harbor resentments against her wizard that would prevent the Bond from maturing. It had delayed it in Minerva's case, but she had long thought it was due to her youth. Seeing how quickly some of the young witches had taken the next step, she now agreed with Dora that ignorance of the whole truth (on the part of both witch and wizard) had a lot to do with their past circumstances. If the witch blamed her Binder in any way for what she has become, the Bond might never mature.
Thus, an important part of this lesson was to help them see that their wizard was not the one to blame and for them to keep an open mind in regards to him, his family, and their relationship and to see the possibilities that are there and not dwell on what might have been. The Bond was never meant to be evil. Wizards made it that way over time. The evil was the society that allowed this to occur and the magical guardians that saw them as cattle that sold them without a second thought. The wizards here were not doing this because they wanted to or needed to for themselves. They had Consorts and did not need others. These wizards were doing it for the witches. Every witch deserved a full life and these wizards knew that the girls they were bringing into their families would not have a full life otherwise and might well die miserable and all too young.
Minerva looked at the six faces before her. The two Gryffindors were doing their best to put on a brave face, although it was clear that this was difficult. The others made no such pretensions as silent tears streaked their faces and the occasional sniffles were heard.
"There is hope," Minerva said. "You might not yet see it, but it is there. The young men whom you are joining are that hope. They will offer you a life of hope and promises fulfilled if you only let them."
"They'll free us?" Hannah asked.
"In a way," Minerva said. "When the Bond is complete, they will still be your husband and you their wives and that bond will be for life, but you will be more free than you could have reasonably been as a witch in Britain."
"And how do you know this?" Mandy shot out.
"You mean aside from the fact that one of the Wizard's is my husband and I am his Concubine?" Minerva replied.
There were several gasps as she had not revealed that information before. She thought it was more dramatic later than up front.
"So one of us get's an old man?" Katie said with some disgust. "Probably all of us? And we should be grateful?"
"My husband is about your age, Katie," Minerva said. "He's the youngest of the wizards. The oldest wizard is twenty-five."
"So young? How long have you been a …. a ….?"
"I was younger than you, Katie, when I was first bound to my husband's Great-Grandfather. I Love Bonded with him after a time, but we never had children. I bonded with my current husband as Concubine less than a month ago. I Love Bonded with him within days, not years. And now, I will bear my Husband's daughter sometime around the beginning of April and should I again wish for a child and be able to bear one, he will allow it. He was under no obligation to either keep me or allow me anything, and yet he has allowed me all I could hope for and more. He and the others find our society as repugnant as you very well may now. They offer you a life because you deserve it. The others would have it stolen from you. They stepped in to see it restored. And, if you are concerned about whether they will truly love and care for you, don't be. You will find that they do and will.
"To be here means you will all be able to Love Bond with your wizard should you wish it. If you have taken your O.W.L.s and desire a child, you shall have one. You shall have as many or as few as you desire. Even if you have not yet taken your O.W.L.s, that option is not foreclosed, but the family will decide whether to allow you to become pregnant then or wait until the O.W.L.s when permission is your right. You will be expected to continue your education through N.E.W.T. levels and will be allowed to continue beyond, if you wish it."
"And what about our families?" Katie asked.
"All will be invited to move here to be near you," Minerva said. "I can't promise that they'll accept the invitation, but it is not the intent of our wizards to destroy families. Hannah and Pattie are sisters. They are one of nine or so sets of sisters who either are or will be here and like all of the others, they will be a part of the same family. Hopefully, within two months and should they accept the invitation, your families will be here as well and living probably within walking distance from where you will be living."
"Who are our Wizards?" Mandy asked.
"You shall find out soon," Minerva replied. "It has become our custom not to reveal that until it needs to be revealed. I believe at least some of you, if not all of you will be pleasantly surprised."
At lunch, Katie and the others were introduced to their guides. Tammy Grey had already met the twenty-five year old witch named Roberta who was to be her guide and she asked what the guide was for. They were told that each would lead them to where they needed to be to meet their new families. Annette Barnes's guide was a twenty-three year old witch named Coleen Harrington. Mandy's was a a twenty-two year old witch named Lana Powell. Hannah and Pattie, as they were destined to remain sisters, had but one guide named Annette Harper. She was twenty-four. The four witches had all been "rescued" from prior owners who were typical for British wizards. While they did not go into detail, they talked about their lives before as slaves bound to their Master's will and condemned to a life whose value was measured in the quality of their ability as sexual entertainers. Minerva, it seemed had been lucky to avoid that fate.
Katie's guide was named Mallory. She was thirty-nine and had started her life as a concubine in much the same way as the others. But early one, her first Master had been forced to sell her and she had been fortunate to find a new wizard who, in time, saw greater value in her as a person. She would eventually become that wizard's Wife-In-All-But-Law, and was encouraged to continue her education. As a Concubine she became a Healer and eventually went on to Muggle University and became a Doctor. It was obvious why these witches were here, Katie thought. One reason was to describe the life they might have led had whomever these wizards were not intervened, and the other was the life they could aspire to now that fate had moved in this direction.
Mallory's first "husband" was unable to have children and had died only recently. Without a child, she remained a concubine and could be sold at the whim of whatever wizard gained control over her person. Her new Husband had inherited her, allowed her to Love Bond within days, and she was now expecting a son by him. No one knew for certain when the final stage of the Bond took hold, she said. Was it upon conception or birth of their child? But it would take hold, and while she would remain bound to him for the rest of her life, she would be equal in all things and her stature would be practically that of Consort.
"Although," she admitted, "not his exclusive one. To date, he has two Consorts and twelve Love Bound Concubines, three of whom are pregnant. But that does not matter to us. Here, we are as free as we can be and what limitations are placed upon us are our own. The only sacrifice that remains is he will be our last, and in most cases only wizard. Believe me, that's no sacrifice at all!"
"With that many, I guess it's easy to be left alone," Mandy said.
"That's not what she meant," one of the other guides said. "We have all learned how wonderful not being left alone can be. Keep your mind and heart open, and your bonding can be wonderful."
"Our wizards neither demand nor ask for sex from us," another said. "We ask it of them."
"And they are usually most obliging," a third said.
"Unless they are totally knackered," another said. "Then you might have to wait until morning. But it's worth the wait."
"As the Consorts can tell you of similar – er – physical enjoyment," Minerva said, "we are now of the opinion that the maturing bond has as much to do with our enjoyment and even eager anticipation of physical intimacy as any – er – talent he might have in that regard. You are advised not to let it go too much to your heads, although our recent history shows that warning is always unheeded."
Mallory chuckled. "Even the ones who have not yet Love Bonded – er – over did it their first times. And none of the wizards will demand intimacy from you once you're bonded so if you over do it – and at least a few of you will – you have no one to blame but yourselves."
"So we just don't do it after we're bound," Mandy said.
"If you manage such self control," Minerva said, "you would be the first."
"I find that hard to believe."
"As have a few others who were complaining the next morning," Mallory said. "We don't know why, but experience shows you will become as randy as he lets you. And all five don't put any limits on your desires in that regard. The only limit is you're not the only one and they try to treat all of you equal after your first day."
"How many others?" Katie asked.
"Katie," Minerva said, "the family you're joining is and will remain the largest. It is the only one with two Consorts and as of right now, it has twelve Love Bound Concubines. When this summer is over, there will be twenty-two."
"Guess that means not a lot of sex," she said gratefully.
"Don't be so sure," Mallory giggled. "There is a schedule of sorts and it means you'll sleep with him about once a week and you'll be able to have sex with him every day."
"He can do it twenty-four times in a day?" Hannah asked.
"We finally wore him out once at something like thirty-five times. Actually, there is a trick to his schedule you'll learn later, Katie."
"And your wizard is apparently no slouch either, Hannah," Minerva said. "We don't compare those kinds of notes, but his Consort and eight Concubines seem to have no complaints about either ability or frequency."
"Except that you can over do it," Annette Harper said with a slight giggle.
"Nine witches?" Pattie Abbott gasped. "Eleven including us?"
"And nineteen eventually," Minerva said. "You two and Katie are arguably the unlucky ones in that regard. The rest of these young ladies families, while they currently are the same size as your future wizard's house, will top out at sixteen."
"Are there any witches left in Britain?" Hannah asked more as a joke than anything.
"Funny you should state it that way," Minerva said. "You all are from Hogwarts. For most of you, that meant Dumbledore is the man who sold you. Of the fifty young witches sold into bondage this summer, forty-five were from Hogwarts. Along with you, seven others have also become Consorts of Concubines that we know of."
"And what does that mean?" Mandy asked.
"It means those seven and you fifty are all here or going to be here and are or will be part of one of the five families represented by the five initials you see on your robes. Every year at Hogwarts has at least one witch who is or will be here aside from the incoming First Years and every House at least five. Hufflepuff is losing the most. And the sixth year is losing the most. When the Hogwarts Express departs King's Cross this September First, there will be no Muggle Born witches at Hogwarts above Second Year aboard and of the eighteen witches who took their O.W.L.s recently, only six will be returning: three Slyherins, two Hufflepuffs, one Ravenclaw and no Gryffindors."
"Four of the five wizards were at Hogwarts last year," Mallory said. "They say they now have all the good looking witches; certainly all the good looking rising Sixth Years. Personally I find that a little hard to believe, but it's what they say."
"Who else?" Hannah asked. "I mean we know Hermione Granger, Lavender Brown and Parvati Patil are on your list as you said there are no more Gryffindors in my year, and I'd guess Padma's on it as well. But who else? Is Susan on it?"
"We'd be best not to speculate," Minerva said. "You will all find out for certain very soon."
Somehow, the thought that Hermione was involved made Katie feel a little better about the situation.
Mandy Brocklehurst stood in a large, elegant room. She was told it was the main room of a large guest house where she and her new family lived for now until their permanent house was finished. She looked around. For now she was the only person standing in the room. Seated around her were her soon to be "husband's" other "wives." The only one she recognized for certain was Fleur Delacour, the Tri-wizard Champion from Beaubatons in France who was apparently her "wizard's" Consort. There were two others she had seen before. One was Peggy Nolan who was a year ahead of her in Hufflepuff and the other was Peggy's younger sister Beth who was two years behind her in Gryffindor. Lana had been her escort, and the three other witches were named Carla, Donna and Christine and like Lana were both older than her and had never attended Hogwarts. Given that Fleur was Consort, Mandy feared the wizard might be Roger Davies who had been Fleur's date to the Yule Ball a year and a half ago. Roger had been a year ahead of her in Ravenclaw and Mandy couldn't stand him at all.
A tall, red haired man entered the room. It was definitely not Davies. He smiled at her and it was not what she expected. She expected some kind of feral or greedy or perhaps dirty minded grin. What she saw was more warm and welcoming and she could not help but blush and smile back.
"You must be Mandy," he said in a very nice voice she thought. She nodded in reply.
"I'm Bill Weasley and yes Fred and George are my brothers and I was Head Boy, but I'm told I was not the stuck up bastard my other brother Percy seems to have been."
"Or the Dork Ronald is," Fleur said darkly.
Bill shrugged. "I swear my Mum must have played around a bit. Those two sure as heck didn't get their attitudes from Dad and as they were married and not bonded she could have had a dalliance or two. But that's neither here nor there. Is Mandy short for Amanda?"
"No," Mandy said.
"Oh, you're in so much trouble," Peggy Nolan said.
"Oh?"
"He likes to – er – play a song after," Peggy's sister said. "Something for you. How he found that sappy song is beyond me."
"You're just complaining 'cause you don't like Buddy Holly," Bill chuckled. "And I did apologize. They should have stamped 'I don't like Buddy Holly' somewhere."
"What song?" Mandy asked. "Not 'Mandy'?"
"Don't tell me you don't like it," Bill moaned.
"Oh, it's not that," she said. "My Mum did. It's how I got my name."
"You won't mind then?"
Mandy shrugged. For all practical purposes, he was going to have his way with her anyway. She was trying to keep an open mind, but it was not easy. Maybe that would help. Before she knew it, he had recited the oath and told her to undress. She undid the sash on her robe and let it fall open and drop from her shoulders.
"Not again," Bill said as she began pulling down her knickers, "I swear there's some sort of conspiracy! Every one of my girls came here naked or close to it beneath their robes!"
"We were in bathing suits," Beth Nolan protested. "And it's not like anyone warned us it was a bad time for sun bathing!"
"I'm just saying," Bill replied, now looking over Mandy who stood naked before him and the others. "You look amazing, by the way," he added as he walked over to Mandy and took her in his very powerful arms almost melting her with his kiss.
Hannah and Pattie found themselves following Annette down a wide, well groomed bridle path through some woods. They knew it was a horse path because they could see the shod prints in the fine dirt. Annette had also told them this was where their Wizard and his Ladies went riding, at least those of them who knew how. She didn't, at least not yet. Their wizard had arranged lessons for his Ladies who could not "sit a horse" because he apparently liked riding with his ladies. Annette quipped he also liked riding his ladies, but preferred to do that without horses.
"Either of you ride horses?" Annette asked.
"No," Hannah said.
"Well, don't fret. It seems a few of us don't, at least not yet."
"Where are we going?" Pattie asked.
"This path leads to the lake," Annette answered, "or at least a lake. But it's our lake and along it is our tree."
"Excuse me?"
"It's where we all bonded with him," she said. "It really is a lovely place. It's very special, you'll see."
"Who is this wizard?" Hannah asked. "Do we even know him?"
"Ah Ah! That would spoil the surprise," Annette chimed.
They soon left the wood and before them was a large lake with sunlight glinting off the ripples. They saw up ahead a large oak tree near the shore, standing apart from the rest of the wood and there were three people gathered around it. They arrived and saw the people were all young women. They were introduced to these other members of their new "family." They recognized the former Head Girl from Ravenclaw Penelope Clearwater. Debbie was another and was twenty, the same age as Penelope. The third was an eighteen year old witch named Miriam.
"We were sent on ahead," Penelope said. "The others are going to ride."
"This is where…?" Hannah started.
Penelope nodded. "It's a powerfully magical place," she said. "Quite beautiful and peaceful too."
There was that, Hannah though to herself.
"But outside?"
"Our husband bound all of to him right here," Penelope said. "Well, all of us aside from his Consort. He bonded with her at a very similar place back in England where, apparently, his father and grandfather and so on bonded with their consorts and concubines for eight or nine generations. He picked this place because it's almost just like that place. Now, if you must know, his parents are here as well. The war back home brought us all here in a way. Not right now, of course, but they live nearby. And because there are so many of us in need of good homes, his parents agreed to take a few of us in. They used this tree as well. Of course, not when we were around. They say that bonding in one place actually makes the bonding – er – better somehow. I think it's true 'cause although he was not my first, I thought it was wonderful!"
"We're supposed to," Pattie hesitated, "to have sex with him here?"
"We all have," Penelope said. "And by all that includes his Consort."
"And where will you be?" Hannah asked.
"Here," Annette said.
"Watching?" Pattie gasped in shock.
"We all were bound this way," Penelope said. "His Consort was the only one to bind with him alone but then again she was his first. However, his second was Amber and he made love to his Consort here, beneath this tree as Amber watched before bonding with her. It's actually kind of nice."
"Nice?!" the two girls exclaimed.
"It's you, your wizard – who's wonderful by the way – and your new sisters. It's very intimate and it felt … safe. It felt right. You'll see."
"Sex in front of others?" Pattie asked in horror.
"Have you had girl sex?" Miriam asked.
Pattie nodded. She had it since the beginning of last year.
"Do you do that in private?"
"Er … no. But they're no boys around!" she added hastily.
"Have you ever done it in private?"
"Um … well my sister and I …"
"So, having girl sex in a room full of girls is okay, even if there are some who are not into it or who you would not accept as a partner and doing it with your sister is okay, but this is not? How is this any different? You've met us. Are you saying if this was the girls' loos or dorms you'd not have girl sex because we are around and might see?"
Pattie said nothing.
"Were you alone with your partner when you first had girl sex?" Miriam asked softly.
Pattie shook her head. "My other roommates were there."
"And how soon after your first time were you doing it in the bathroom in front of any girl?"
"The next day."
"And you?" she asked Hannah.
"My first time was in the girl's bathroom," Hannah confessed. She and Susan thought it would be easier there.
"In some ways, it's just like that," Penelope said. "Think of it like that, yet with a different partner and it's less … embarrassing. Besides, it won't be just you two, you know."
"He's bonding with others?" Pattie asked.
"Not today," Penelope giggled, "but the rest of us do hope to have our turn with him as well and we don't care if you two watch at all."
The sound of hoof beats startled the sisters and they turned to see who was approaching. There were two riders, both women. They dismounted just before reaching the group and allowed the horses to wander. One was an older witch named Amber who the sister's learned was their Wizard's first Concubine. She was thirty-three and had known the wizard practically from the day he was born. The other was Amanda Kennedy who was Hannah's age and made sure the sisters knew they were going to enjoy this.
"Where are the others?" Annette asked.
"Oh, they decided to have a pre-bonding quickie in the stables. They should be along," Amanda replied.
"Here they come," Miriam said.
Hannah could not believe her eyes. There upon two horses were the young man she was supposed to lose her virginity to, regardless as to whether that was what she wanted, and his Consort. She was to do it here, in the open, under this tree, in front of all these women and her sister and the Consort. She knew them both. The Consort was her best friend Susan and the young man was Neville Longbottom.
Her first girl sex time was with Susan. Now her first real time would be with Susan there. Hannah made up her mind right then.
"Pattie," she said, "I'll go first."
Katie Bell found herself somewhere else in what she now knew was a huge manor of some kind. This room was a library and quite possibly the largest one she'd ever seen. Mallory had brought her there following lunch and told her to wait until the others arrived. Katie thought about her options. She could run. She still had her wand so she could fight. She did not have to do this. But the harder she tried to convince herself to find some way out of this, the less her body wanted to help her. She was now standing still, facing a large fireplace and she now bothered to see the picture hanging over it.
It looked like a color photograph, but it was not a magical one as the figures did not move. She recognized one immediately. In the center with women on either side of him was Harry Potter, dressed far better than Katie had ever remembered seeing him. He looked like a million pounds in that dinner jacket and white bow tie and had what looked like a Knight's sash under the open jacket. To his right stood a beautiful young woman wearing a deep blue dress and a similar sash and more diamonds than Katie had ever seen. The brown haired woman looked very familiar, yet very different.
"It really is a nice photo, isn't it?" a voice asked.
Katie turned around and saw a familiar face, although not one she expected. It was Ginny Weasley. Ginny was wearing a short silk robe and matching slippers. Katie turned and looked at the photo again and saw a much more elegant version of Ginny with a sash and lighter blue dress, and again more diamonds than anyone she had known had ever worn, seated just in front and almost in between Harry and the young woman in the deep blue gown.
"That's you?" Katie asked pointing to the red haired girl who was smiling in the picture.
"It is," Ginny said. "It was taken last week at the State Dinner for Her Majesty the Queen and the Investiture of the Countess of Darby and the newest Knights of the Order of the Round Table. That's the sash you see us wearing."
"The Queen? Not the Queen of Britain?"
"Well, she's the only one I met. Are there others?"
"And the others?" Katie asked.
"Those of us in blue are House Potter. Hermione is the Consort and Duchess of Charenwell."
"What? Duchess? How? Where?" Katie stammered.
"Well, given that Harry Potter is the Duke of Charenwell, naturally his Potter wife and Consort would be his Duchess."
"What's Charenwell?"
"It's an independent magical country," Ginny said. "It's an island actually a few hundred miles out in the ocean from Britain. House Potter's lived here since the Eight Century and it gained its independence from both Magical and Non-Magical Britain in the Thirteenth Century, which was when Lord Potter became the Duke."
"So Harry's the ruler?"
"Not really," Ginny said. "According to our research, the Duke never ruled directly. Even when we gained our independence, the Duke left the governing of his people to an elected council of respected people and a Lord Mayor. He still has a large say in government seeing as he owns most all of the land. But basically he merely has final say on when and how land is developed. Otherwise he has to convince the government and people to do things."
"Harry never acted like a prince," Katie began.
"He's not a prince and never has been," Ginny said. "At most, until this summer he was Heir Apparent, although he only learned the weekend we left Hogwarts. Before then he had no idea about any of this."
"Now the rest of House Potter includes me," Ginny said pointing at her picture. "I got knighted that day," she added. "Harry and Hermione got theirs when he became Duke about a month ago. Anyway, the one to my right is Astoria. She's the youngest. I'm next youngest. Anyway, sitting at the end is Stacey and standing next to Hermione is Minerva."
"You're his concubine?" Katie asked in shock. "Professor McGonagall is his…?"
"Minnie is actually quite nice," Ginny said.
"Minnie?"
"Well, it is kind of hard calling her Professor McGonagall after having watched her and Harry doing it and her watching me do it with Harry … and having girl sex with her."
"You've got to be kidding!"
"I'll have you know I've had sex with everyone in that picture and they've all seen me have sex, so no. There are some rules in this house, but not many. The unofficial rule is no fewer than three people can have sex at the same time, although it counts if two of you do it while another waits for their turn."
"That applies to everyone?"
"Well, since you are bonding with Harry, you will get some exclusive Harry Time tonight."
"I'm bonding with … Harry?"
"Of course. Of the girls who came in today, who do you think he'd pick to join the real Harry Potter Fan Club? Now, our ladies in Green are House Black," Ginny Continued. "Harry is also Lord Black, Head of that Ancient and Noble House. Luna is his Lady Black and Countess of Darby."
"Luna?" Katie asked, "as in Luna Lovegood? I can't believe she and Hermione…"
"Believe it," Ginny giggled. "Those two have very active imaginations! So the rest of House Black includes…"
"Mallory," Katie said.
"The former Healer Mallory Grant," Ginny said. "Now Healer Mallory Black-Potter."
"Excuse me?"
"Oh, as a Consort they're Lady Black and Lady Potter. We are Lady Potter-Black, if we're House Potter or Lady Black-Potter if we're House Black."
"What's the difference? Is there one?"
"Well, as you see House Potter wears Blue at State Dinners while House Black wears green."
"I mean any other differences?"
"Aside from that and our last names, no. It doesn't matter to us or to Harry whether you're Katie Potter-Black or Katie Black-Potter. None of that matters when we're naked, which is a fair bit. Now the others are Dora – she was an Auror – and Daphne."
"She looks familiar," Katie said.
"You might remember her as Daphne Greengrass. Astoria is her younger sister."
"So you're saying Harry tamed the famed Ice Princess of Slytherin?"
"Er, I wouldn't call her tame. She's a wild one in the sack. Then again, I think we all are at least to some extent," Ginny added with a giggle.
"How did you become a … you're a Pureblood!" Katie said.
"As are Daphne and Astoria," Ginny replied. "Okay. Hermione was brought here the day after we left school and jumped Harry here in the Library that afternoon and became his Consort…"
"I never would have seen that coming," Katie said.
"… he inherited Dora and Mallory from his Godfather the last Lord Black," Ginny continued, "and Minnie from his Grandfather. He bonded with them on the same part of the same couch where he and Hermione first did it and became bound. The Greengrass sisters' Dad was given a choice by the Death Eaters to sell them to the next Lord Black or their entire family would be killed. Apparently the stupid Death Eaters thought Malfoy would be Lord Black. So Harry took them to keep them and their family safe and bound to them where he bonded with the others. Luna was brought here after the Death Eaters tried to kill her, Hermione, Neville, Susan and me. It didn't go well for the Death Eaters, but Luna's Dad was killed and her mother was already dead so she became Harry's Black Consort right here as well. A bunch of Pureblood bastards owed the Black Estate a lot of money and couldn't pay. Stacey was a Concubine for Draco Malfoy's father, who is now both in prison and broke."
"Draco?"
"His father, although the Ferret is now one of the poorest who will be attending Hogwarts. Anyway, that's how we got Stacey and Laura and Rhonda for House Potter and Fiona and Karen for House Black They're not in the picture 'cause they came in after. As for me? My Mum was involved in a plot to kill Harry and I was given to him to avoid a blood feud."
"You were given to him?" Katie asked in shock.
"It's not so bad," Ginny said. "I actually am grateful in a way, 'cause no other boy will ever touch me again. God! One little kiss and they think they can do what they want to with you! I mean Michael Corner was magical raised so I'm not surprised he thought I should have just spread my legs for him, but I figured Dean being Muggle Raised would be different! Maybe it's a boy thing."
"They didn't do anything…"
"No," Ginny said. "They knew I could hex them into next week if they tried and my brothers would kill them. But they made sure I knew what they wanted."
"And Harry?"
"Oh, he's different," Ginny said. "First of all, as his Concubine, I couldn't say 'no' if I wanted to and second of all, when it came to that I didn't want to."
"Didn't want to do it?"
"Didn't want to say 'no'. It helped that he was a friend and I knew he wouldn't hurt me – well, anymore than it would have to hurt anyway. Dora thinks it might also be because he's scary powerful magically and that seems to be a huge turn on for us witches."
"Will it be that way with me?" Katie asked.
"It can be wonderful," Ginny sighed. "It can be if you want it to be. I know Harry hopes it will be for you. He does like you. If you are willing to accept this, it is wonderful."
"And what will I be when it's done?"
"My flat-mate," Ginny said.
"I don't understand."
"When we're not in Harry's very huge bed, we have our own room, but we share a common room with another of Harry's Girls. You and I will share a common room. You'll move in tomorrow."
"Why tomorrow?"
"'Cause tonight you'll sleep with Harry."
"And what if I don't want to?" Katie asked in protest.
"Well, Harry could order you to, but he's never done that. Then again, no one has ever not wanted to snuggle with Harry all night long. He really knows how to curl your toes!"
"So they're fourteen of us?"
"Fifteen," Ginny said. "Tabatha was bought at the Auction like you were. She joined us a week ago."
"So, I'm going to be in the family of twenty-four?" Katie said.
"Hermione's worked out a schedule. You'll sleep with Harry about once a week and if it's during a weekday … well it seems he's decided that the girls who sleep with him and one of his Consorts on a weekday go on a date with him for dinner. Tonight's the first one at least for us."
"I don't understand."
"You wouldn't believe how busy we are here," Ginny said. "It's more interesting than school and so far there's no boring homework, but I think I had more free time in school what with flying lessons…"
"But you're already a great flyer!"
"Airplanes. Harry's got a load of them and we're flying them. It's actually really cool! Anyway, we have ground school in the mornings and flying two afternoons a week for now. Once all the girls are here it might be sane again, assuming it ever was. But as busy as we girls are, it's worse for our Harry. So he's got magical help. Something called a Time Turner which lets him spend three days doing what he needs to do for every day of the week."
"Why are you here, Ginny? Why are you telling me this?"
"Harry and Hermione found out this transition is easier if you begin it with your eyes and mind open," Ginny said. "If you talk to those who were Concubines before Harry, they'll tell you that in Britain you show up confused and are taken before you have any idea what is going on. We do it different. That's why you had that long lesson from Minnie and why I'm here. Hopefully, when it begins, you'll be less terrified and more willing to give this life a chance. It may not be what you wanted, but I think we'd all say it's probably more wonderful than we deserve really."
"And when will this happen?"
Ginny looked over her shoulder and saw the other witches entering. "Very soon. Relax, Katie. It will be wonderful!"
