Author's Notes: A huge, huge thank you to my fabulous beta!
The feel of the whip against his skin brought surprising tears of gratitude to his eyes.
Harry realized that the transformation he'd longed for and sought with no success until now was finally within his grasp. Yellow stars of melancholy that had loomed in the night's pale distance broke in fiery explosions and left him sobbing for joy. Finally, Harry let someone lead him to what he most feared, and what he most wanted desperately. Oh, and what he had tried despairingly not to want. Now he had surrendered, not only to another man, but also to his own desire and to his dominating shame.
When Master held the whip's silver handle to his lips after the flogging, Harry kissed it with an unfeigned devotion and licked the leather strap that had caressed his skin, and when he said, "Thank you, Master," it was with all the sincerity of his heart, which finally opened. He experienced devotion. He had never felt such ease and softness. He left home that evening transformed. His Master bid him to face the past and Harry thought that he finally had the courage to do it. The night's soft wind danced across his skin and swirled away from him to mingle in the air's great ocean, the accumulation of the breath of all earth's creatures.
Harry had never experienced true happiness. He'd never had a true childhood. After the final battle, Harry fell into a deep depression and sank into darkness that his friends feared would ultimately destroy him. His desires grew increasingly twisted and frightening. Harry didn't know which direction to turn, and so, he hurled himself bodily down the path of self-destruction.
Without asking his slave whether it was alright with him or not, Master had his nipples pierced that night with two tiny silver rings and Harry still felt the sting of the piercing as a sharp silver ribbon that glowed in his mind and turned upon itself like a thin strip of pain and pleasure. Unable to distinguish between the two anymore, what mattered was that the sensation signalled he had fallen and was bound to the humiliation that he'd always been ashamed to crave.
Now there was no shame in it. He was accepting of everything. He walked tall and proud to the Apparition point. Before he had been withdrawn and secretive, hidden and bent, hesitant in his associations and nervous with his associates; now he was forthright and open, free and easy with everybody, assertive but not demanding, witty but not vulgar, a magnet to attract all gazes.
That first year after the war ended, Harry spent most of his time in the seediest part of Diagon Alley, deep in the bowels of the underground clubs, letting himself be used and abused by anyone who would have him. The Weasleys tried to find him, but Harry was still a powerful wizard and if he didn't want anyone to find him, then no one would. The Glamour fooled everyone and Harry just let himself go, giving into the debauchery that consumed his every waking breath.
At the strangers who gazed at him as he walked through the streets of the tiny village in a tight black shirt, skin tight jeans and high black boots, the muscles of his upper left arm adorned by the wiry circlets that his Master had tattooed there, he looked out with the marble arrogance of the proudly conquered. Harry felt owned, loved and taken care of. He felt safe. Harry no longer needed the approval of strangers. All he needed was his lord and master.
