Dinner after a surprisingly long nap

Hermione woke up when she felt Daphne shift and let go of her. Daphne was changing back into her Slytherin robes by the time her eyes were fully opened. She was surprised to see the sun lowering in the sky. Had she truly been so comfortable out here naked that she was able to take so long a nap?

Once Daphne was fully dressed, she looked at Hermione. "Well, the sun seemed to dry you up enough! Let's get you inside for dinner!" She reached her hand out and summoned the lead once again to walk across the castle grounds.

As Hermione crawled on all fours, she felt the cool winds caress her naked body once more. She curled her bushy tail in front of her privates once more, hoping to hide them from Daphne as she felt them get wet.

Something Hermione hadn't noticed before was just how pronounced the sounds were with her large cat ears. She could hear the birds in the forest more clearly than ever before, the creaking of the whomping willow in the distance, and even Hagrid sneezing in his hut, even though they were already at the oak doors of the castle.

When she entered the entrance hall, however, she was able to hear Pansy and Millicent in the great hall, even though they were whispering.

"So you're sure we'll be able to make sure she stays naked?"

"Absolutely. We'll make her watch in the common room tonight to put that fear in her. When term starts again, the whole wizarding world will know that Granger is best used as a naked pet."

"And if she fights back?"

"She's a wandless witch against the three of us, Millie. I think we can take her."

"And if her friends send her more robes?"

"Working on that... all we have to do is-" Pansy turned her head and saw Daphne and Hermione come into the Great Hall. "Ah, back, I see. Were you two outside that entire time?"

"Yeah, we walked around the lake, took a dip, and took a nap." Daphne beamed.

"Woah, she slept out there naked?!" Millicent asked, astonished.

"Yeah, the sun was nice and warm... But we had fun, isn't that right, kitty?"

Hermione merely let out a small grunt, still affected by the tongue-tying curse.

"Wait, did Millie's silencing charm break?!" Pansy looked somewhat angry.

"No no!" Daphne said, not wanting her friend to get into trouble. "Granger actually suggested we change spells. Went from her being able to whisper to only being able to make those cute sounds! See?" Daphne crouched down and put her pinky inside Hermione's pussy, causing to yelp once in shock at being violated so casually.

Millicent whistled. "Guess she has a thing for being like this after all..."

As the Slytherins sat down for dinner, Hermione sat on the ground, waiting patiently. She knew that if she tried to get up to the table, she'd only be pushed back down.

Her patience was rewarded with a bowl of beef stew from Daphne. She bent low to eat out of the bowl. It was messy work. Not only did she get broth all over her face, but her hair kept dipping into the bowl, too. At least she could eat this without needing to be fed, she thought to herself.

Even though the Slytherins were talking about nothing important now, she had to wonder what they had in mind... They evidently plotted to keep her naked, but how were they planning to do it? Did they think she was going to steal the clothes they had won from her? The thought hadn't occurred to her, since it was far too risky. Were they going to try to intercept any owls that might bring her clothes? That wouldn't be a problem, since Ginny was bringing robes with her on the train, they wouldn't have the chance. She simply had to hope that the protections of the castle wouldn't lead them to do anything horrible to her as they plotted against her.

After they had all finished eating, Daphne looked down at Hermione. "Aw... You made a right mess of yourself, didn't you?" She giggled as she waved her wand at Hermione's face and hair, cleaning her up instantly.

After summoning the lead again, the Slytherins wordlessly guided Hermione out into the entrance hall, then they turned down the stairs to the dungeons.

Hermione was confused, but seeing as she couldn't ask questions, she went along with it.

Daphne, evidently sensing Hermione's confusion with either legilimency or by the look on Hermione's face, spoke up. "Well, we can't have our pet go up to her own common room, now can we? You're staying with us tonight!"

The dungeons were cold. The sunlight from the grounds apparently didn't reach far in the windows down here. Hermione shivered as she continued to crawl until they stopped in front of the wall that was the entrance to the Slytherin common room.

As Daphne opened her mouth, Pansy spoke up. "Hold it, we can't have Granger knowing the password!" Pansy turned to Hermione and held her wand. "Stupefy!"

Hermione would have been thrown back if the lead hadn't been connected to her collar. The last thought she had before the lost consciousness was one of fear, until she landed naked on the cold, stone flooring, eyes glazed over.
