The time is here, we are finally covering the EPIC story of "Manacled". Join us, Chanel, Stacy, Ashley and our special guest Ashli as we journey into the layers of this incredible fanfiction. We kick off the episode with a deep exploration of the first part of the lauded fanfiction, "Manacled" by, Senlinyu where we delve into its dark and gripping themes, touching on elements of violence, murder, and non-consensual activity. We draw parallels with the anxiety-inducing nature of The Handmaid's Tale.

Our voyage takes an emotional turn as we tackle the first chapters of "Hermione Granger and the High Reeve." We shine a light on Hermione's dire circumstances, her capture by Voldemort, and her struggle to recall the war. We also contemplate on the unique concept of manacles used to suppress magic and the twist of Hermione's assignment to Draco Malfoy, the High Reeve.

Warning: 
This work is dark. Rape and non-consensual sex are a significant and ongoing aspect of the plot. There are also character deaths, psychological trauma, descriptions of battlefield violence, and references to torture. Reader discretion is advised.

Authors Note:
The characters in this story are not mine: they belong to JK Rowling, whom I happen to not be. The initial inspiration of this plot occurred when watching the first episode of The Handmaid’s Tale. In homage there are elements of it maintained throughout the story. The title High Reeve was drawn from Lady_of_Clunn’s use in her story Uncoffined.

This story diverges from canon following the conclusion of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

Summary: 
Harry Potter is dead. In the aftermath of the war, in order to strengthen the might of the magical world, Voldemort enacts a repopulation effort. Hermione Granger has an Order secret, lost but hidden in her mind, so she is sent as an enslaved surrogate to the High Reeve until her mind can be cracked.
