I decided to write this as a fun story with plenty of smut/lemons (in the post chapter 1 chapters). It started out just being a one shot, however I had so much fun with building up the universe and the new positions that the characters where in I decided to break up the story into a few chapters.
Though normally I don't give trigger warnings (as you know what you clicked on) this story is probably the least politically correct story that I have ever written. So be warned that this story discusses rape, spousal abuse, and has a heavy dose of Weasley bashing. That is why this story is rated M. Thus, if you don't want to read that type of story, feel free to leave and read one of my other fanfictions.
As always, the rights to the Harry Potter Universe belong to J.K. Rowling and comments are always appreciated.
Chapter 1
"You never return to this house again! Do you understand me Harry Potter?" screamed Molly Weasley.
Harry decided to not respond to that question and disapparated to a place that he knew that he wouldn't be recognized, Knockturn Alley.
Once arriving at the wizarding slum, Harry decided to walk around aimlessly to think about the past. The first thing that popped into his head was the reason why Molly Weasley didn't want Harry to return to her house, his divorce with Ginny. To be honest they were way too young to have gotten married and never truly considered having to live with the other's bad habits for the rest of their lives. It wasn't like he was the only one to make that same mistake, as Hermione and Ron's relationship ended up in a similar fashion, although they remained friends.
Regardless, Harry didn't come to the Weasley house to see Ginny, he had come to see Ron, both of whom had moved back with their parents after their respective divorces. However, Harry suspected that Ginny was exaggerating the reasons for their divorce to her mother and that's why he wasn't even let in.
It wasn't this bad when he had broken up with Cho. Perhaps that was because they had no mutual friends and could make a clean split.
Harry then realized that there's no point in dwelling on the past. He was an available and relatively attractive 22-year-old. Plus, with his auror money, he could do whatever he pleased if he wanted to stay single for a little while longer.
Right before Harry was going to disapparate from Knockturn Alley back to his house he noticed something strange. There was a wizard holding a chain that was connected to a collar worn by a crawling half-naked woman.
Curious, Harry decided to walk over to the wizard and asked, "What are you doing?"
"I am taking my slave for a walk" replied the wizard.
"Your slave?" asked Harry.
"Yes, my slave" responded the man.
"But why do you have a human slave? I believe that to be illegal under wizarding law!" exclaimed Harry.
"It's not illegal under wizarding law" responded the man.
"Please explain further" demanded Harry.
"Well for hundreds of years wizards have been taking slaves. However, you can only make someone into your slave if they owe you a life debt. In my case, I saved this slave from being hit from a drunk driver" said the man.
"And for that I am always grateful" interrupted the slave.
"Yes" the wizard continued "However if you are interested in seeing if you can acquire a slave, or simply want more information, go to Toorahloo Bookstore over there and buy a book called 'The Secrets of Ancient Magic' and turn to the chapter about slaves. Plus, if you go to Gringotts, you can see if anyone owes you a life debt, as those creepy goblins keep track of everything."
"Thanks" responded Harry choosing to leave the man alone.
Harry was curious about whether the man was telling the truth. So, he purchased a copy of The Secrets of Ancient Magic and disapparated back to his house.
Once Harry arrived at his house, he immediately went to his study to read his new book. Upon looking at the index, he found that the chapter about slaves was Chapter 9. It read:
Since ancient times, wizards have had slaves. In our times most well-off wizarding families will have an elf that will do household chores for them. However, since ancient times wizards and witches have also taken and become slaves.
Though the practice of making another witch or wizard your slave has become uncommon in our times, as many see it as unethical, it is still legal as outlined in the Wizarding Criminal Code. This may be because you can not make any regular witch or wizard into your slave, only ones who owe you a life debt (as they would be dead if it weren't for the other's action).
Those who are owed life debt(s) by other witches and wizards and want to make those magical beings into their slaves can do so by stating the following with their wand in hand:
"I (your full name) call upon the life debt owed to me by (full name of the person who owes you a life debt) to become my slave. So make it moot."
The effects should take on immediately because you are simply merging your magic together, but with you in command. If the witch or wizard that you are making into your slave is not present at the time of the act, they will immediately appear in front of you.
Once the witch or wizard becomes your slave, they will only be able to refer to you as master. They are not able to call you by your real name, and if they try to, they will simply say a word that is similar to your name. For example, if your name is Mickey and your slave is trying to call you by your real name, they might say "sticky". If you want your slave to call you by your real name, you simply have to command them to do so.
What you can get your slave to do is unlimited, as they would be dead if it weren't for your actions. Many witches and wizards therefore make their slaves do a variety of things for them, ranging from doing household chores to having sex.
Many witches and wizards who acquire a slave will simply refer to them as "slave". For the few witches and wizards that acquire multiple slaves, they will often call them "slave (first name)". For example, if a wizard had two slaves named Daniel and Emma, he would likely refer to them as Slave Daniel and Slave Emma respectively.
However, if someone owes you a life debt and you don't want to ever make them your slave or you want to release one of your slave(s) you simply repeat the following with your wand in your hand:
"I (your full name) recognize the life debt owed to me by (full name of the person who owes you a life debt) and demand that (preferred pronoun) is released from that life debt. So make it moot."
Since life debts belong only to one person, a slave cannot be given to a new master. If the someone owes multiple life debts to multiple people, they will be the slave for the first person that calls upon their life debt and could possibly work for the other possible master(s) after the first one releases them.
If a master dies, the slave(s) will be released to live on with the rest of their life. This doesn't mean that a witch or wizard can't call upon a life debt at any point in their natural lifetime, no matter how long ago the life debt was created.
Harry put the book down, not even halfway through the chapter, and though it seemed to be correct he wanted to double check his copy of the Wizarding Criminal Code (which he was required to have because he is an auror).
Eventually Harry found the right section of the Code and it indeed said that witches and wizards could have slave(s) so long that the slave is a slave by choice or is serving out their life debt. Having a slave that doesn't fit those two criteria could result to being sentenced to Azkaban for up to 50 years.
Noting this, Harry decided to disapparate to Gringotts to see whether anyone owed him a life debt.
After waiting in line for a while, a goblin became free for him.
"Hello, my name is Harry Potter" said Harry "and I would like to know whether anyone owes me a life debt."
"Can you please show me your key so I can make sure that you are who you say you are, sir?" asked the Goblin.
"Sure" responded Harry and then gave the Goblin his key.
After closely inspecting the key, the Goblin asked, "Mr. Potter, am I correct in that you want a list of all those who owe you a life debt?"
"Yes" responded Harry.
"Would you like the list to be printed out for you, sir?" asked the Goblin.
"Yes" responded Harry, suspecting that if there's a list at all, it likely won't be too long.
A few minutes later, the Goblin returned with a stack of paper that was the thickness of a small book.
"Why do all these people owe me a life debt?" asked a surprised Harry.
"According to our records you gained all these life debts when you saved everyone at Hogwarts from certain death when you killed the basilisk in your second year, sir" answered the Goblin.
"Okay" replied Harry simply as he grabbed the long list of names and disapparated back to house.
Before deciding if he wanted to take any slaves for himself, Harry decided to analyze the list of witches and wizards who owed him a life debt. As he picked up the first page, he noticed a small preamble which read:
What follow is an alphabetical list (by last name) of those who owe Harry Potter a life debt.
If there is an asterisk (*) beside their name, it means that they owe multiple people (whose name will not be revealed for confidentiality reasons) life debts that they are not relieved of.
If there is two asterisks (**) beside their name, it means that they are currently serving a life debt to another witch or wizard (whose name will not be revealed for confidentiality reasons).
What followed that was the long list of names with the odd asterisk here and there. The first name to really catch Harry's eye was CHANG, Cho. Though he had never admitted it to anyone, he still had feelings for the witch. She was his first crush, first love, and his first kiss. Harry longed to see her again. But would it be appropriate to see her for the first time in years as his slave?
Not wanting to contemplate the answer to that question, Harry kept skimming through the list. The next name to catch Harry's eye was GRANGER, Hermione*. He was first surprised that she was on the list, as he figured that it was more likely that he owed her a life debt considering how much she saved his stupid ass. But why did her name have an asterisk beside it? Who else did she owe a life debt to? Though Harry figured that he would never know the answer to that question, he suspected that it might be Ron, when he saved her life from the troll in their first year at Hogwarts. But not truly knowing who else Hermione owed a life debt to frustrated him. What if it was a person who would use her as a piece of meat, forcing her to constantly have sex with them? Would that mean it would be more ethical to take her as his slave so to stop the chances of her living out that type of life?
Once again, Harry wasn't sure how to answer those questions properly. But seeing Hermione on the list made him curious whether there was any Weasleys on the list.
Sure enough, the names of the five Weasleys who were at Hogwarts when he killed the basilisk during his second year were there:
WEASLEY, Fred
WEASLEY, George
WEASLEY, Ginevra
WEASLEY, Percy
WEASLEY, Ronald
Though Harry wasn't thrilled that Ron was the list, he was happy that Ginny was there. Oh, how he would like to make her his slave after spreading lies about their divorce. Lies that got him banned from visiting the Weasley house ever again.
Now that Harry had a few people who he was considering to be his slave, he had to consider the logistics and ethics of having slaves. Logistically, Harry could probably have up to three slaves without changing his lifestyle that much. Many of his colleagues, who were earning the same amount of money as he was, were able to be the single source of income to their families of four. Plus, unlike those families, he wouldn't have to pay for new clothes for growing kids, nor pay for extracurricular activities, such as junior quidditch league fees.
Ethics is a harder case to crack. Harry figured that he wouldn't be doing something morally wrong if he took slaves, he would just be settling debts owed to him. That's the sort of thing that banks do everyday, and no one goes to jail for it.
On the other hand, taking slaves is also not entirely morally correct. Obviously, he would be taking another person's freedom away from them. Plus, he could order them to do anything he wanted and they would be forced by a magical bond to do that thing. If he wanted to Harry could basically have sex with anyone on the list without needing their consent.
As that seemed like rape to Harry, one of his first orders to his potential slaves would be that they can choose whether or not they want to engage in sexual acts with him and they could back out of any of those said sexual acts at any point.
Figuring that he might be the most ethical master for those who owed him a life debt, Harry decided that he was ethically clear to choose people from the list to become his slave.
His first choice to become his slave was Hermione. Though he didn't like having power over his best friend like that, he figured it was better that he called upon her life debt to him before a possibility worst wizard called for her to become their slave.
His second choice to become his slave was Ginny. Perhaps this choice was out of spite for the way she treated him after their divorce. But also, did miss her cooking, which was way better than his more basic cooking style.
His third choice to become his slave was Cho. He didn't really have a good reason for why he wanted her to be his slave other than he secretly wanted to be with her. Plus, if she really hated being his slave, he could just as easily release her.
With those choices made, Harry started to set his house up for his new slaves. He set up two of the upstairs bedrooms for Cho and Hermione to use. He also put a bed in his basement for Ginny, so hopefully he wouldn't have to hear her snore.
After setting up his house, Harry had to do some shopping to do. At Diagon Alley he bought enough food for three extra people and a few french maid outfits that he thought might be fun to make his soon to be slaves, especially Ginny, wear.
Once Harry had acquired everything that he thought he needed to house three more people, he went up to his room and grabbed his copy of The Secrets of Ancient Magic and brought it down to his living room.
As the book instructed, he held his wand in hand and said:
"I, Harry Potter, call upon the life debt owed to me by Ginevra Weasley to become my slave. So make it moot."
Suddenly Ginny appeared in front of him, looking a little lost as she didn't yet realize what had happened. Deciding that he would let her gather her orientation before he spoke to her, Harry started calling for his second slave:
"I Harry Potter call upon the life debt owed to me by Cho Chang to become my slave. So make it moot."
Suddenly a soaking wet and naked Cho appeared before them, who seemed like she was in the shower when Harry had called upon her life debt to him. Harry could also see that Cho had a black eye that she might want treated. However, not wanting to waste more time, Harry decided to call upon his third slave:
"I Harry Potter call upon the life debt owed to me by Hermione Granger to become my slave. So make it moot."
Like the other two girls before her, Hermione magically appeared in Harry's living room.
"Where are we master?" asked a confused Hermione "I am sorry, I accidentally said master instead of hairy."
"You are all in my house and you called me master because I called upon all of your life debts owed to me. Hence you are all my slaves" said Harry. "I am however fine with you calling me master, Master Harry, or, for Cho and Hermione, simply Harry."
Hermione gave him the look that he knew so well. She was confused and trying to process the new information given to her.
"I know that this is probably confusing for all of you, and I promise to explain your situation to each of you individually in time. However right now it's probably best that I show you each to your new beds" said Harry. "That is except for you Slave Ginny. You will make us all dinner using what you can find in the kitchen."
"Yes master" responded Ginny before leaving to the kitchen.
"Slave Hermione and Slave Cho, please follow me upstairs" ordered Harry.
Once they walked up the stairs, Harry pointed to the room on the right and said "Slave Hermione, that is your new room. Please go in and start to make yourself feel comfortable."
As Hermione entered her room, Harry led Cho into her new room. Harry took a deep breath before entering his naked slave's bedroom, not entirely sure what was going to happen next.
