Chapter 91: Where are We Going?
"Ehm… Harry?" Hermione knocked on the door of his dormitory with hesitation and waited.
She could hear some strange noises coming from inside, as well as a female voice, which took her by surprise as she thought that, other than Harry, she was the only human living in Azkaban.
Moments later, Harry's voice could be heard clearly. "Come in."
"Sorry to bother you, I just wanted to…" Hermione froze when she saw the peculiar scene.
Harry was lying on a large bed with a set of red sheets covering only the lower part of his body, while his chest was completely exposed.
Next to him was a fully naked girl with long red hair, resting on top of the bed right next to Harry.
Hermione was not innocent enough to fail to guess what had been going on right before she knocked on the door. But what truly shocked her was the identity of the red-haired girl.
It took her a moment to recognize her, as she never imagined she would see her in such a state. "Susan?"
Susan Bones looked away from Hermione and attempted to cover herself in shame.
"Ah yes… you two haven't seen each other since you got here." Harry had kept Hermione working in the basement and would have her meals delivered to her room, which was also in the basement.
Susan, on the other hand, was normally around the second and third floors, in the living quarters.
"What is she…" Hermione looked between Harry and Susan.
"Hmmm?" Harry tilted his head. "You want to know what we were doing?"
"N-No!" Hermione's cheeks became completely red.
"I was just having Susan here help me relieve some stress. This young body is filled with hormones and has strong urges."
He pointed at the red-haired girl. "I thought I wouldn't be able to find some use for her after killing her aunt. But what do you know? She can serve for something after all." Unlike Hermione or Luna, he had only decided to 'recruit' Susan as a means to control Amelia Bones and gain access to his demonology book.
Afterwards, the girl didn't serve much purpose other than using her body to please him.
Harry glanced at the paper that Hermione was holding. "You got something for me? It's been three days since you started with your task."
"Y-yes!" Hermione tried her best to take her eyes off the naked girl and focus on Harry. "I have been carefully studying the book you left me, and I ran an inventory of all the materials available inside Azkaban. Here is a list of everything I would need to work on the creation of the collars." She approached and handed him the paper.
"Mmm…" Harry felt some of his old memories resurface as he read the list of ingredients she had written for him.
The problem was that he had no idea how rare these things would be nowadays, only how difficult they were to acquire five hundred years prior, when he first created these collars.
Harry moved the sheets aside and jumped off the bed, making Hermione cover her eyes to avoid looking at his nakedness.
He paid her no mind. "I will hand this list to Blinx to see what he can get. If there is something that cannot be acquired by normal means, we may have to find some replacements. I'll think of something."
Harry walked to his wardrobe and pulled out a set of robes. "I'm going out for a bit."
"But… what should I do in the meantime?" Hermione asked.
"Whatever you want, as long as you don't leave the fortress. There is a library on the first floor."
"A library?" This piqued her interest.
He walked closer to her. "Yes, make sure to study a lot. I will need that sharp mind of yours." He ran his fingers across her face. "Do try to stay clear of the demons, though. They have orders not to harm you, but it's better to avoid taking risks."
After saying that, Harry walked out of the room, leaving the two girls alone.
Hermione glanced at Susan with concern, as she hadn't moved at all since she entered the bedroom. "Susan… are you o—"
"Just leave me alone already!" Susan turned her face and screamed at her.
Hermione was taken aback by the outburst, but after seeing the pain and shame in Susan's eyes, she could not say much in return. "Sorry…"

Harry landed his broom in a large clearing. A short distance away, he could see a strangely shaped building.
It was so poorly balanced, with the top part hanging at a terrible angle, that if it wasn't for all the magic used during its construction, the place would have collapsed immediately.
"It does fit her," Harry commented before walking closer to the property.
When he was still some twenty feet away from the front door, it opened and a blonde girl ran outside.
"Master Harry! You came to visit me!"
Luna Lovegood looked extremely happy to see him. After all, he was the closest thing she had to a friend.
It was likely that he could have gained control of her, even without the collar, by just showing her some sympathy. But that was not the way Harry did things.
He had no use for friends or family...just servants.
"I told you I would come visit you at some point during the summer," Harry told her.
"Wanna come in? I have pudding and cake." Luna offered with a sincere smile on her face.
But Harry shook his head. "Go pack your things. You will be spending the rest of the summer at my house. I am in need of your special abilities for a project I have in mind."
"Oh! That sounds fun. What are we doing?" Luna asked with excitement.
A grin appeared on Harry's face. "We are going to exterminate a muggle city."
