Just after lunch, the group returns to Hogwarts.
Harry and his friends decide to eat with the rest of the student body for a change.
Luna is talking to Hermione when it happens.
The blonde's eyes suddenly lock on Hermione's left hand, "So he finally purposed did he?"
Those simple words, uttered quietly spread through the student body like a shockwave. Almost immediately, the two are swamped by students wanting to see Hermione's ring and congratulate the two teens.
It is only with the help of Harry's Thralls that he and Hermione manage to escape the pandemonium and the Great Hall.
The two teens are walking through the halls alone, holding hands when three shapes step out of a cross corridor.
Theodore Nott looks at the lovebirds and says, "Aw... isn't this a cute sight? A pair of disgusting Gryffindor's who just need a proper lesson in respecting the purity of blood."
Harry gently shakes his arm, causing one of the marble to fall into his hand unseen. Shaking his head, Harry says, "Nott, get out of my way. I'm fully aware that you serve Voldemort and I think you'll find he will be rather aggravated if he discovers you attempted to assault me."
"QUIET POTTER, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO SPEAK THE DARK LORD'S NAME!"
The other two, Crabbe and Goyle move forward with the obvious intent to grab Harry and Hermione.
The messy haired wizard does a firm underhand toss and the marble sails away from him and his Nott in the chest, subsequently knocking the hapless wizard back with tremendous force. He impacts the wall so hard that dust from the ceiling settles down onto his head.
As the two louts try to comprehend what just happened, two Stunners fly out of the corridor behind them and hit the pair, rendering them unconscious.
Harry has his wand out as Draco steps into the corridor and nods at him. Harry returns the nod with a curious expression.
Draco's voice is contrite as he says, "Don't worry Potter, I'm still not ready to join your merry band. I just couldn't stand by and let this happen when I could avoid it."
Harry's eyes are locked on his ex-nemesis as he replies, "Why then?"
Draco seems to deflate as he sighs, "Simple really. I owe you one for allowing me to continue to see my mother. I also have talked at length with my mother, especially about her treatment at your hands." Sighing again, the young man says, "Say what you will about me Potter, but I love my mother as much as any son could. I owed you for both of those and if there is only one tradition of the Malfoy family I intend to continue it is the one that says the Malfoy family always pays their debts."
Harry nods, "And these idiots?"
"I'll take them to see Madam Pomfrey. If they want to admit to trying to attack you, then I'm sure my own punishment will be rather light."
Hermione is shocked to find that the two young men are not trying to hex each other, "Harry, perhaps a walk in Hogsmeade would be in order."
Draco smiles as he catches sight of the witch's ring, "Congratulations Granger. Now if you will excuse me..."
The two take the hint and start the trek towards the Wizarding town, completely unaware of the fate that is stalking them.

Luna screams out her climax as the lash strikes her swollen nipple.
Ron smiles at his bound lover as he puts down the riding crop. After she's calmed down a bit, the young man says, "Is Kitten enjoying her Lord's attention?"
The blonde witch literally purrs as she says, "Kitten is enjoying herself very much Lord, though if Lord would bugger Kitten then Kitten would consider everything perfect."
Millie continues to masturbate as her master walks behind his lover and frees his staff to comply with her request.
_____
Susan is on her knees in front of her master, looking straight as his stiff staff.
Neville grabs his Thrall by the hair and pulls her face towards his crotch.
The blonde happily takes the flesh spike into her mouth and moans as the tip hits the back of her throat.
The young man pulls back slightly before ramming his hips forward, cutting off the witch's air supply completely.
Susan reaches her hand down and starts to masturbate as she begins to suffocate.
Neville smiles down at the witch as her face slowly turns purple from lack of oxygen.
Just before Susan passes out, her master shoots his seed down her throat and pulls back allowing her to breathe again. She uses her first breath to scream out in climax.
Susan smiles as she brings her fingers up to her mouth to clean them off. She slowly sits up on the bed and wishes for not the first time she could actually work up the nerve to either enact the fantasy on her own or ask her master to aid her.
The former Hufflepuff slowly pulls her knickers on, wondering if she should look into any accessories such as Harry's Thralls wear.

As Harry and Hermione are walking towards the Three Broomsticks, neither of them notices the figure slinking through the shadows following them.
Antonin Dolohov has a maniacal look in his eye as he raises his wand. The insane Death Eater watches the mudblood who managed to escape him holding hands with the damned Potter brat. Giggling, he raises his wand and says, "Avada Kedavra."
The bolt of green light shoots from his wand, flying towards its target.
Hermione is idly discussing possibilities for their wedding and never even notices when the curse hits her in the back.
Harry staggers as he's hit with unexpected pain through his link with Hermione. He is surprised when she suddenly collapses.
Dolohov watches as Potter suddenly kneels next to his girlfriend and picks up her hand.
The messy haired wizard can already feel the heat draining from his lovers' body as he takes her hand in his.
