Before catching the train, they were having breakfast. Low and behold, Tom marched Abigale over to the couple. After properly greeting Harry and Hermione, Tom calmly ordered "show them your bottom Abigale." Abigale froze and stopped, seeing all the people in the great Hall, and noticing she was quickly becoming the center of attention. Tom getting embarrassed, ordered more forcefully, "Abigale remove your robe, now!" Abigale blushing as the hall quieted hearing the loud order. She was definitely the center of attention now. Abigale slowly removed her robe. Tom nodded and calm again, ordered "Now your pants, Abigale." Abigale just looked at him in horror. Tom not believing she was going to embarrass him like this, grabbed her arm, and walked over to the bench. He motioned for the students there to move out of the way. Susan and Hanna, who were sitting at the location, quickly got up and moved others out of the way. This was going to be fun. Tom turned and sat on the bench facing outward. He immediately, pulled Abigale down over his lap, flipped up her skirt, and spanked her 20 times with his hand. He was either hitting her very hard, or she already had a sore bottom. Almost from the first swat, Abigale was starting to cry and scream. Tom then stood her back up facing him while he was still sitting. She stood there crying and blubbering.
Tom tried again, "Abigale, remove your pants now!" He ordered in a fair DAD is pissed, voice. She shook her head no, so Tom pulled her back down over his lap. This time he yanked off her panties, and spanked her 20 more times bare. Abigale was howling now, with the entire Hall standing and watching.
Tom then stood them both up and shoved Abigale down on the table. While using one hand to pin her to the table, he flipped up her skirt showing everyone a very spanked and belted bottom. She was kicking so much; she was also showing her dry fanny to the world. Tom again spanked her bottom with twenty swats and said, "Lie STILL, or it's the strap for you!" Abigale with a cry of distress, relaxed and stopped kicking while she continued to sob in significant pain, and abject humiliation.
Tom then with a half-bow, politely invited Harry and Hermione to verify she was properly punished. Harry glanced at the bruised bottom, and nodded his acceptance to Tom, immediately looking away out of respect for Tom. However, Hermione came over, and swiped Abigale's bottom, verifying it wasn't makeup or a glamor. Then Hermione, unexpectedly brought her hand down hard SMACK!, on Abigale's apparently bruised rump. Hearing Abigale's shrill scream verified she really was tender. After swatting Abigale, Hermione curtseyed to Tom "You are a wizard of honor and integrity, Thomas Aberton. You do house Aberton proud." Tom bowed in thanks for the powerful compliment, before letting Abigale back up. Tom, then holding Abigale by the arm and carrying her robe and pants, marched back out of the hall. Abigale was forced to walk along with him, while her punished bottom was available for all the hall to see. Hermione just walked back to her seat, with a small smile.
Hanna had returned to her seat, and was again eating with Neville. She said to him, very seriously, "Neville, you spank my bottom properly, if I ever start to get catty with Hermione. Something tells me it would hurt much less." Neville just nodded with wide eyes.
Harry and Hermione were on the train and holding each other in a back corner. Hermione had her legs up on the seat facing the door. Harry with his right arm cradling her to his body, was seated along the window, watching the world go by. Hermione had turned her body to face Harry, and her arms were wrapped around his abdomen, holding him tightly. She was fast asleep. Harry was gently stroking her hair and face with his left arm, ignoring everything while daydreaming except for the occasional loving glance down at her face. He wore a contented peaceful smile.
Creevy came in to visit, and Susan quietly motioned for him to take a few photos, as she knew Hermione and her mothers would desperately want them. Dennis took them, as well as a few of Susan and Hanna before leaving. Susan and Hanna just continued to watch and sighed. Both has tears in their eyes, wondering when they would experience such obvious and sincere domestic bliss. To have a boy…no a man, so obviously in love with them, it was the dream. Hanna sighed again, and looked over at Neville, who was looking at her intently. Seeing his direct, and obviously interested gaze, made Hanna blush and look down, demurely. Soon, she thought.
Neville had placed a silence bubble around them, with Harry nodding his thanks. Hermione slept until they were arriving at King's cross. Harry hadn't even tried to move, holding her the whole way. It was just another unbelievably romantic occurrence with these two. Many of their friends came to visit, and just shook their heads when they saw Harry holding his witch. Cedric, again groused about Harry placing the bar way too high for ordinary wizards to compete.
Shortly before they arrived. Susan and Hanna insisted on waking Hermione up. She would need a few minutes to repair her face and clothes after sleeping so long. Hermione still had to make a public appearance, and it would not do, to be seen in such disarray. The wrong conclusions, would definitely be drawn.
Once the girls had Hermione looking presentable, they all left the train to meet their families. There they were, seeing the Tonks/Blacks/Potters, Longbottoms, Bones, Abbots, Diggorys, and Malfoys together was a powerful political image of solidarity. It gave others pause.
There were friendly greetings without all the introductions, since everyone was friend and family now. Comportment was important, but being sloppy with it in public among extended family and allies, was a very powerful statement all on its own. Narcissa watched with a slight grin. Harry didn't have strong political instincts, but his familial instincts were exceptional.
Harry and Neville hugged gran yelling "GRAN!' loudly, and in public. It just elicited a smile from everyone, as his inappropriate behavior was known, and it was family. What was surprising was Hermione curtseying before she also hugged Lady Longbottom saying "Hello Gran." with a smile. Gran had tears in her eyes. It's been so long, since the Longbottom had a daughter. While Hermione hugged her, Gran noticed Neville looking intently at Hanna, with Hanna returning the look demurely. Neville seemed to be saying she would be expected to join the group soon, and Hanna wasn't disagreeing. Interesting, time for a talk or two.
After greeting Gran, Harry greeted the Tonks. Chastity had already hugged both her parents tightly after Curtseying to them. Harry with a slight bow, immediately hugged Andy, "Hello Mum", then hugged Ted, "Hello Dad." Ted was surprised at how big and muscular Harry was. Merlin, he went through his 2nd maturation already! He glanced at Hermione and noticed her changed figure. Morgana, she has too!
Hermione was also greeting her parents with hugs. Once this was done, the two switched families. Harry came over and hugged Juliet, "Hi Mum." getting tears in her eyes at the unexpected greeting. He then held out his hand to Stephen, but as Stephen clasped it, immediately pulled him in for a hug, "Hi Pop!" which made Stephen's 'allergies' act up too. Drat.
Harry then walked over to Cissa, "Hello Aunt Cissa" and pulled her into a hug too. She just shook her head hugging him back, while Draco smiled with his "I know what political games you are playing, smile."
Unexpectedly on greeting the Diggorys, Harry was hugged tightly by Darla's mother. She exclaimed "Thank you , thank you, thank you for saving our daughter!" as she hugged him tightly, with Baron Diggory just smiling at her behavior. Cedric stood there, proud of his brother. Harry gently hugged her back and then backed away, "Cedric is my brother apprentice. I promised him I would watch over our sister, and I did. Family takes care of family."
Baron Diggory snorted at the implication. "So, the Diggory's are now family with the Potter's…and the Black?"
Harry stared directly in Baron Diggory's eyes, and losing some of their previous warmth, said calmly with an intent look "Is that a problem? I am to be Lord of both in time. Both consider family first, period."
Baron Diggory was thinking about the implications, and glanced to Cedric, seeing worry, bordering on fear in his son's eyes. It was obvious, he could make a grave mistake here. He tested the waters, "No, if the Black are led by you, I don't see a problem with a close alliance. I can't promise to always agree politically, however."
Harry just shrugged at the idea of a loose alliance, instead of a fealty situation, "Family doesn't always agree. As long as we listen to each other with an open mind, and then decide what is best for our family. Honor is satisfied." He paused, "Just be aware, I am not a fan of Dumbledore. I do not trust him…with cause."
Baron Diggory had many misgivings about Dumbledore as well, but getting out from under that wizard's thumb was not without risk. However, joining this powerful block would abrogate much of that risk. Baron Diggory decided to take a chance. He nodded and held out his hand, "For saving my daughter's life and befriending my son, I now agree to consider Heir Black family and allies." Harry took his hand, "Welcome to the family, Uncle Amos." Harry then pulled Amos into a hug. Cedric just laughed shaking his head. Only Harry.
Cissa eyes widened, he didn't! Ohh, that boy! When I get him home, he and my hairbrush are going to have a long conversation! Draco standing next to her, felt her fury, "Punish him if you must, but be aware, IT WORKED! The Black are now allied to the Diggorys." She looked again, into Amos' eyes. They had started our surprised and angry, but quickly softened into acceptance. Damn Harry, how does he do this?
Lady Bones was watching the show, while talking quietly to Andy and Gus, "Is he always like this? Casually allying families, which were never allies in the past? Merlin, he just flipped Diggory from Dumbledore to Black!"
Andy replied with a hint of sadness, "He grew up without friend and family. He wishes to keep that from happening to anyone around him. His charisma, will, and magic is a potent mix. With his almost naive sense of Honor and loyalty, few can stand against him."
Gus admitted with wonder, "He has me being hugged by grandchildren in the street! I threaten to paddle him, and he just smiles at me. I thought James was troublesome, he had nothing on his son…and I wouldn't change a thing."
Cissa hearing the conversation, warned "Just be aware, there is an ulterior motive. Everything he does is to protect his family, and isolate Dumbledore. He blames Dumbledore for his childhood, and is seeking to reduce and destroy him."
Gus sighing, then answered "We will have to curtail that. With Riddle still out there, we may need Dumbledore a while longer. Once Riddle is really gone, we can let Lord Black have his revenge." And she smiled a cold smile.
Shortly all the families went their separate ways. Again, the Grangers came home with the Tonks. Once home, Andy and Ted pulled the Grangers, Hermione, and Harry aside for a quick talk. "There is a situation. Lord black is insisting on training Harry this summer. The whole summer. Harry will be gone for 3 months. I discussed with Lord Black that his relationship with Hermione would not tolerate that, and he only agreed to a 3-hour break once a week where Hermione can visit Harry at the manor. That's it."
Turning to Harry, "Harry, he believes he will be dead within the year. He says this is necessary to give you the weapons you will need to defeat Riddle…and Dumbledore. I advise you accept it."
Harry, shocked turns to Hermione, "Mine? Your thoughts?"
Hermione with tears forming in her eyes, "I hate this, but if this gives you the training necessary to protect our family so we can have those children we crave, it is a necessary sacrifice. I will pick the time of the week my parents work so as to minimize time away from them." Turning to Juliet, "You both work Thursday afternoon's, correct?" And Juliet nodded with wide eyes listening to this. Hermione turned back to Harry, "We will meet from 1pm to 4pm every Thursday. OK?"
Hermione then turned to Andy, "While Harry is training, I expect you to train me HARD. Harry has been training us in combat at the school, but I have much to learn. I need to get stronger as any intelligent enemy of Harrys will come at me, believing me to be a soft target, and his weakness. I need you to change that."
Andy with some respect in her eyes, "We will train you hard. I now consider you a Black, its time you learned to fight like one."
Andy turned to the two and calmly ordered, "Spend the rest of the evening together. Harry leaves tonight 10pm"
Juliet quickly thinking, realized she had to ignore the apparent age of her daughter. This was a young woman whose man was going off to war. She needed intimate time with him, to say good bye. Juliet then said to Hermione, "that gives you about 3 hours. Go upstairs, and we will see you tomorrow." She grabbed Stephen and with a glance was able to tell him to accept it. Stephen just nodded. He was not processing this well. These were supposed to be teenaged kids, emotional, spontaneous, self-absorbed, with little discipline. Instead, the two of them were acting like a mature serious couple, dealing with a harsh situation, requiring mutual sacrifice and long-range plans. He shook his head as they were popped away.
Harry said to the rest of his family, "I will see you all later. I need some private time with Hermione." And Ted and Andy just waved them away.
Harry took Hermione's hand, and led her to his room. "Remember when I said I would spread you out on my bed and make a meal of you?" Hermione with wide eyes, nodded. Harry quietly commanded, "Get undressed, Mine."
Hermione, had started to get damp, when Harry said he was making a meal of her. It was ridiculous, but oh so HOT. Hermione stripped completely and moved to the center of the bed. Once there, she spread her legs as wide as she could, "The buffet is open. All you can eat." Harry just looked at her after that ridiculous comment, and started laughing. When she saw the look on his face, and thought about what she had said, she started laughing too. That was seriously corny.
As Harry stared at Hermione offering herself to him so completely, he realized that while her comment was ridiculous, the intent wasn't. Harry was suddenly very hungry, and not for food. He stared into her wide-open core lustfully, then looked into her eyes with such desire, it took her breath away. Hermione felt extremely vulnerable, but it didn't scare her, it excited her. Submitting to Harry just felt right.
Harry stripped off his clothes and joined her on the bed. He lifted Hermione up, and put a couple pillows under her rump, positioning her for a long session of oral. Once ready, he dived right in with a strong lick from her anus to her clit. He wasn't starting slow, or gentle. He went right for her core, shoving his tongue in and sucking on her labia aggressively. He then dragged his tongue up to her clit and bit her, gently. She gasped, at his forcefulness. It almost hurt too much, and he was on the edge of making her say 'yellow-light.' His aggressiveness made her nervous, but it also strangely excited her to be dominated by her wizard. Harry had never given her a reason to mistrust him, so she just submitted. After all, she still had her safe-words if things went too far. He was going off to war, or a close facsimile. She felt it was her job, to give him a reason to fight hard enough to come back safe.
Harry knew he was being rougher than usual, but had no intention of getting too rough with Hermione. Still, he understood and appreciated her surrender and trust. Now, he wanted to see how many climaxes he could wring from her before she insisted on returning the favor. Harry then went to work. He was working Hermione so thoroughly she was soon a sweaty, quivering, pile of goo. He had counted seven distinct episodes, each with their own aftershocks, before she tried to wave him off. Harry ignored her resistance, as she wasn't using safe-words, and was able to force another climax from her before she got serious. Hermione after coming down from the latest climax, 'forced' them to flip, so she could get her mouth on him. She grinned as it was time for some payback.
Hermione also skipped the gentle foreplay they had previously used. She started aggressively sucking Harry, and was irritated when he came in just 3 minutes. She then grinned, and took a lesson from what Harry had just done to her. She never stopped and ignored his minor complaints of being too sensitive. Hermione popped off his dick and with a grin, "If you are going to be a pussy, use the safe-words."
Harry snorted in amusement, and then gasped when Hermione sucked hard on his glans. Hermione continued sucking and licking and handling his balls, quickly bringing Harry back to full throttle. Once he was hard, she aggressively deep-throated as much as she could. This time he lasted 5 minutes. Hermione said to herself, 'Not good enough' and kept going. After an hour, she had drained Harry five times, and he begged her to stop. It was getting too painful to be fun.
Hermione popped off with a grin, and crawled up to Harry's face. She completely unrepentantly said, "Now you know how I felt. It really hurts so good, doesn't it?"
Harry just smiled at her, "I really want to spank you…or make love to you…probably both."
Hermione replied smiling, "soon, my love, soon. Forever and always, my everything."
"Forever and always, Mine."
The two cuddle for the last hour with Harry just holding her. They quietly talk of nothing and everything, and despite her nap, Hermione falls asleep in Harry's arms. When she awakes, it is morning, and he is gone.
