"You will learn to respect your Masters in every possible way," the overseer said, pacing before them. "When a Master enters a room, you will kneel and bow your head. You will address them as 'Master' or 'Mistress' at all times. You will anticipate their needs and fulfill their commands without delay. Any failure to do so will result in severe punishment."

As he spoke, the overseer demonstrated by calling forward one of the older slaves. The **** immediately dropped to his knees, bowed his head, and said, "Yes, Master. How may I serve you?"

The overseer nodded approvingly. "This is how you will behave. You are to be invisible unless summoned. You will not speak unless spoken to. Your life is now one of complete and utter servitude."

The overseer then turned to the guards. "Show them."

The guards stepped forward, distributing long canes among the overseers. The slaves were lined up and **** to practice kneeling and bowing repeatedly. Those who were too slow or showed any sign of resistance were met with swift, painful strikes from the canes. The overseer’s whip cracked through the air, a constant reminder of the consequences of disobedience.

{if SL = 1} Ron Weasley {elseif SL = 2} Bill Weasley {elseif SL = 3} Charlie Weasley {elseif SL = 4} Gregory Goyle {elseif SL = 5} Vincent Crabbe {endif} struggled to maintain his composure as the cane struck his back for the first time, the pain searing through his body. He clenched his teeth, fighting back tears, and **** himself to bow lower, to move faster, to comply more completely.

Hours passed in this brutal training, with the overseer and guards barking orders and meting out punishment. By the end of the session, the new slaves were exhausted, their bodies aching and marked with fresh welts. They had been stripped not only of their clothing but of their dignity and individuality.

As they were finally allowed to return to their quarters, {if SL = 1} Ron Weasley {elseif SL = 2} Bill Weasley {elseif SL = 3} Charlie Weasley {elseif SL = 4} Gregory Goyle {elseif SL = 5} Vincent Crabbe {endif}felt a crushing sense of hopelessness. The overseer’s final words echoed in his mind: "You are slaves. You will remain slaves for the rest of your lives. Your only purpose is to serve your Masters."

That night, as he lay on the hard floor, {if SL = 1} Ron Weasley {elseif SL = 2} Bill Weasley {elseif SL = 3} Charlie Weasley {elseif SL = 4} Gregory Goyle {elseif SL = 5} Vincent Crabbe {endif}understood the full extent of his new reality. The Kingdom of Dominus had claimed him entirely, and there was no escape from the life of degradation and subjugation that now stretched endlessly before him.
