Probing the Depths
Chapter 9 of 9
HechiceraInvestigative journalism comes to The Wayward Wand.
ReviewedReaders of the Prophet may be shocked to learn that Wizarding London has a seamy hidden underbelly, where traffic in human flesh is a commonplace, and no desire is too dark to be satisfied . . . for a price. For the first time ever, an intrepid Prophet reporter, at great personal risk and sacrifice, dares to penetrate this secret world and thrust our readers into its dank, steamy interior.
Be warned: the following article is not for the immature or faint of heart. It contains graphic, gritty details of a world heretofore completely concealed from decent Wizarding society.
I stood in the dimly lit parlour of The Wayward Wand, an infamous house of ill repute hidden in a clandestine location in Knockturn Alley. One does not enter this establishment from the street, and journalistic ethics prevent me from disclosing the favours called in, and personal standards compromised, to allow me to gain entry on this occasion.
Expensively appointed in exquisite taste, the foyer was presided over by a distinguished, impeccably turned-out gentleman who summoned the lady of the House and then withdrew silently to his post, the picture of prudence and discretion.
The madam who swept regally into the room was a statuesque blonde who arranged herself at a dainty antique writing desk and took a blank parchment card from a drawer.
“Your name?” she asked unexpectedly. Her voice was low and husky, a whisky-soaked, smoky voice—the voice of someone who has seen, heard, and done it all.
Fortunately, I am well accustomed to thinking quickly on my feet. “Anopheles,” I replied. “Miranda Anopheles.”
She looked approvingly at me over the tops of her elegant reading glasses, clearly never suspecting my clever use of a pseudonym.
“And would you prefer a man, or a woman?” she asked. “Or both?”
Both . . . I toyed briefly with the possibility, which would, after all, have afforded me the most comprehensive and accurate research opportunity. In the end, however, fiscal caution and a knowledge of the limits of my expense account won out.
I was obliged to turn over my wand, and any other magical objects, to the silent butler—a requirement that caused me no small amount of apprehension, since it meant divesting myself of my trusty Quick-Quotes Quill and relying solely on my (admittedly photographic) memory to memorialise my experiences. In the true spirit of investigative journalism, however, I handed them over, and waited for my chosen companion to appear.
And what a companion he turned out to be, readers! Tall and dark, with rippling muscles and glistening, bronzed skin, wearing only a pair of bulging, skimpy cut-off jeans. His name was Lance, and he led me into a secluded room whose only light was provided by softly shimmering candles.
“Would you like a drink?” he asked, gesturing toward a group of crystal decanters.
I declined politely, knowing that journalistic ethics required that I keep a clear head.
“You don’t mind if I do?” he said.
“Certainly, go ahead,” I replied graciously, and he poured himself a generous amount from one of the decanters. I could see that his hands were shaking, and so pretended not to notice when he added a few drops from a small brown bottle. Poor thing, he was nervous. Perhaps this was his first time. Perhaps he had been forced into this degrading life, sold into slavery by depraved parents . . . .
My thoughts were interrupted when he approached me and began to take off my clothes. A tremor of fear went through me, but I resolved to make whatever sacrifice was necessary for the sake of my Art. Journalism was ever a profession fraught with danger, and I was determined to be valiant in the face of this demanding task.
At last I stood revealed before him, my still-youthful breasts standing perkily at attention, my flat stomach and slender thighs luminous in their perfection. He looked me up and down, drew a deep, appreciative breath, and put away the rest of his drink in one long swallow.
Then he removed his shorts, and I saw at last the size of the sacrifice I was about to make for my profession.
Readers, his manly parts, which stood rigidly at attention—inspired no doubt by the flawlessness of my own physique—were absolutely enormous.
I gasped in apprehension, and tumbled backwards onto the bed in disbelief. Astonishment caused my knees to part slightly, and without further ado the sturdy stallion was between them, his mighty member probing for entry between my creamy, yielding thighs.
Remembering my duty to my readers, I wrapped my shapely legs about him and urged him on, crying out in shock as twelve pulsing, throbbing inches of man-meat filled my love cavern. The highest standards of covert investigative journalism had caused me, in unconscious pursuit of verisimilitude, to stream with slick love juices in order to facilitate his entry, and he slid easily into my tunnel of passion, despite its youthful tightness.
Over and over he pounded into me, his pulsating manhood thrusting into my hot, wet grotto of romance. Staying scrupulously in character, I screamed his name and raked his back with my long, perfect red nails, clenching around his proud jackhammer with my powerful interior muscles as surge after surge of passion burst over me like breaking waves pounding the shore of a beautiful, youthful tropic island.
A few seconds later I saw his face contort with ecstasy and felt his hot man-seed spurt into me, and knew I had scaled new heights in my pursuit of journalistic excellence.
Author’s note: The following week, when I attempted to return for a follow-up interview, I was chagrined to find my Patronus unanswered, and the Portkey which had previously allowed me entrance suddenly ineffective. I can only conclude that rigorous investigation by the Fourth Estate (in the person of my fearless self) has driven this illicit business to seek out another, more hidden, location.

Haha awesome. If i had to beta this, I'd have been giggling too much to get any work done on it. Thanks for not taking the pwp too seriously!!
Response from Hechicera (Author of The Wayward Wand)
Funny you should say that. This chapter was the last straw in a permanent rift between me and my beta, who objected to its unrealistic portrayal of journalism.
" I can't belive it's not pussy" ??! I really wish i hadn't had a mouth full of tea when I read that
This is the best story ever. I mean, this chapter alone. Riiiight up my alley!!
I love teh fact that she writes like it's a romance novel! I could so see her doing that.
These are so funny, I hope you intend to write more. I really do wonder why those girls were fighting, a ploy to get the men's attention or was it real? I also would love to read about Mrs. Malfoy and what trouble she casues. *lol*
Response from Hechicera (Author of The Wayward Wand)
They were fighting because one of them was not Malavi--it was Bruce, who had used the hair Malavi gave him a few chapters back to make some Polyjuice, which he thought would turn him into a perfect replica of Snape for his appointment with Narcissa. But because Malavi had substituted her own hair for Snape's, he got a big surprise.
Very interesting... I love where this is going! The last line caught me off guard... I wonder why he's never indulged further? Great start!
Response from Hechicera (Author of The Wayward Wand)
Thanks!
This fic was actually a kind of spinoff from my OFC fic Soroche, so this Snape is my "Soroche Snape."
My theory is that this is Snape's way of remaining symbolically "faithful" to Lily while still getting his needs met occasionally.
I came across this on random story search. I read it back in the days when I was lurking, and not reviewing. So I read it again and really had a good time. Sometimes stories that are labeled "humor" really aren't all that funny. You on the other hand have made me laugh. I hope that you periodically continue this. It isn't like it has such a raging plot that it must be updated frequently, but I think there are plenty of characters left who are just dying for a chance to shine. Plus, you can't just leave us hanging as to whether anyone EVER gets the jar money. He has to have a breaking point, doesn't he?!
Response from Hechicera (Author of The Wayward Wand)
Thanks so much! I don't really know when/if I'll continue this story--sadly, its interruption is inextricably linked to a very painful event in my life, and so far I've been unable to get past that connection. So we'll see.
Response from HBAR (Reviewer)
Oh, I am so sorry to hear that. RL really doesn't always go how we want it to, does it? I won't hold it against you if you can't finish it. Of course you could always just write something else completely different, but fantastic and that would suffice. I'll think happy thoughts for you ;)
Ew, ew, ew, eeeewwww! BRILLIANT!! 111% Rita!
Response from Hechicera (Author of The Wayward Wand)
*bows deeply and heads off to the shower*
ROFL. Hoops! That is so funny! :)
Response from Hechicera (Author of The Wayward Wand)
Glad you liked!
LOL. Poor old Perce! :)
Response from Hechicera (Author of The Wayward Wand)
Yeah, he's a bit of a dweeb, isn't he?
That's the purplest prose I've read for a long time. Good effort! Can just see Rita writing that LOL. And I thought she was a beetle, not a mosquito... :P
Response from Hechicera (Author of The Wayward Wand)
You are the ONLY person who has picked up on "Anopheles." Fifty points to your House! I did it because of "Skeeter."
Response from sunny33 (Reviewer)
I did travel medicine for years. I can recognise a damned malaria carrier when I see one LOL! :)
That'll make the Polyjuice taste funny! :)
Response from Hechicera (Author of The Wayward Wand)
Yes. Not to mention the unanticipated result.
Nekkid Rita Skeeter... oh the HORROR... bring the brain bleach, STAT!!!But Rita's description of her "sacrifice" on behalf of her duty as a journalist is truly beyond the pale. Urgh. *Staggers off for a shot (or three) of Pepto*
Response from Hechicera (Author of The Wayward Wand)
Heh heh heh. A shot or three of tequila probably wouldn't hurt either.
It's no wonder she write for the Daily Prophet. Her use of vocabulary for the woman anatomy is absolutely dreadful.But her card is absolutely gorgeous. How can you make it look like a real paper is beyond me, and I'm admirative.
Response from Hechicera (Author of The Wayward Wand)
Thank you! Those cards are fun to do.
Geez! I think that killed my libido for at least a week! Rita is truely 'shudder-worthy.' Her card is pretty funny, though. Will we ever see someone succeed at fucking the Potions bloke?
Response from Hechicera (Author of The Wayward Wand)
Wait and see....
"my hot, wet grotto of romance", that is just so, utterly cringeworthy and she would totally write it that way too.*cringes, shudders and giggles, all at once*
Response from Hechicera (Author of The Wayward Wand)
Yes, I had to take a long shower after spending that much time with my Inner Rita.
Response from Pyttan (Reviewer)
I will never ever get over that sentence, you realise. It is just so amazing If I dared I would use it on my husband, but I am to frightened I would put him of sex for the rest of the year.
I loved the way you had them undress! Perfection. You captured the twins exuberance perfectly.
Response from Hechicera (Author of The Wayward Wand)
Still haven't decided who gets the smoking lube...
Do we get to see what Bruce does with this hair? Very hot pool scene!
Response from Hechicera (Author of The Wayward Wand)
Yeah, I wish I could get in that pool with him...where was I? Oh, yeah, the hair. That's the source of the second Malavi in the Value for Money chapter.
She's perfect. And I can so see Filius being completely attracted to her.
Response from Hechicera (Author of The Wayward Wand)
I'm glad you like her. I had fun writing her!
Oh man, I can see Percy being just this uptight - until he sees the value in women rolling around on the floor! LOL.
Response from Hechicera (Author of The Wayward Wand)
Ha ha, thanks. Not one but two "Personal Areas" to gaze upon...
I can perfectly see RIta writing this article and this description. Perfection.
Response from Hechicera (Author of The Wayward Wand)
Wow, that was fast! Thank you! You can see Rita's card on my Deviant Art site--I'll put a link in the story.
Response from timestep (Reviewer)
Actually, I've been reading and reviewing on OWL, but really think it's so fabulous I wanted to make sure you are getting proper reviews/story rating here too!
ROFL!! I hadn't expected that explanation about Filius' nickname. Brilliant job again.
Response from Hechicera (Author of The Wayward Wand)
Thank you kindly.*bows*

Response from Pyttan (Reviewer)
I just need to say this; I really liked the New Orleans bit. To me, New Orleans have always felt magical. I have always wanted to go there rather then New York or any other place in America where my countrymen tend to visit.
Response from Hechicera (Author of The Wayward Wand)
Thank you. I'm feeling reeeeeally self-conscious about having introduced an American character into this fic, but NO is in a class by itself, I think. And so brothel-y.
Response from Pyttan (Reviewer)
Victor Krum and Fleur Delacour wasn't exactly Londoners either, so why not? The divine JK Rowlings brought in non english people in her world so all you are doing is following tradition...well...following tradition to a certain extent anyway...
I never thought that a story about a whorehouse would make me chuckle through a whole chapter. This is just so delightful! Love it!Ehm, yes, I did get out of the pool eventually, shrivelled up like a dried plum :P
Response from Hechicera (Author of The Wayward Wand)
OMG!!! This is fabulous! I once read the memoirs of a madam from a brothel in Bowling Green, KY, Miss Pauline Tabor I believe her name was, and her tales read very similar to this. You ought to give it a try to see if you can find something on her. She was a pistol! Might give you a lift if you need it for this story. Sara
Response from Hechicera (Author of The Wayward Wand)
I will definitely look for that!I'm glad you like the story, thanks!
