LALALALALALALALALALA BTW NEW KEYBOARD SO I SHOULD UPDATE FASTER

Arthur looked around, as interesting as Ron's brother from Romania was he had more important things to think about. First, where the hell did Merlin go?

"Looking for something?" Arthur turned to find a blonde girl looking at him kindly. "My name is Luna, I'm a friend of Harry's too."

"My name is Arthur. It's very nice to meet you. I'm looking for my friend. His name is Merlin." Arthur smiled, she was too kind not smile around.

"He went that way," She pointed towards the door, "Though I should warn you, he seemed upset. And he had Harry's cloak so you might not see him."

"thank you Luna." Arthur bowed his head respectfully.

"You two aren't from here are you?" she asked softly.

"No. We're not." Arthur replied.

"I think you should stay a while longer than you hoped. You might end up helping us as much as we'll end up helping you."

"I'll take that into consideration."

"Goodbye." Luna turned and walked away. Arthur wondered if she were slow in the head, but knew that she couldn't be. If anything she was smarter than him. He walked out of the house, his head held high as usual.

It was getting dark. He didn't have much time. To look for Merlin. He jogged towards the forest, arriving there just as the sun went down behind the mountains. He looked back, realizing he'd left his jacket and sword at the house.

I could turn back. No, Merlin's out here, unless he snuck by you, you're going to find him.

"Merlin?" Arthur whispered, walking into the forest. He looked around the floor for any foot prints but saw none. "Come on Arthur you're good at tracking." He walked around searching for any sign. And then he found one, a broken twig followed by several other broken twigs and foot prints around moist leaves. He followed it quietly until he heard the rustling of leaves. He stopped and stood behind a tree.

"Harry is that you?" a voice asked. Arthur froze. It wasn't Merlin. He turned to look behind the tree.

Standing in between the trees was a blonde boy in a black suit, Harry's cloak in his hand. Arthur turned back and leaned against the tree.

"Who's there?" the boy asked.

Blond boy, black suit. Pale skin. Thin, but not that thin. Think Arthur. If Merlin were here he'd know. Where is he anyways?

"Squirrels, world's better without the filthy creatures." The blond stated, attempting to calm himself down.

Stuck up little. I know who he is.

IN THE HOUSE

Merlin walked into the kitchen, "Has anyone seen Arthur? I can't find him anywhere."

"He went to the forest to look for you." Luna replied looking up from her food.

"Why?" Merlin asked.

"I thought I saw you leave with Harry's cloak earlier and he was looking everywhere for you." Luna turned back to her food. Harry froze for a bit then began eating his food slowly.

Please don't take off the cloak. He thought.

"I haven't left the house other than to talk to him." Merlin replied confused.

"That's strange." Luna's eye brows furrowed slightly, "I'm sure he'll be back soon."

Merlin nodded and sat down to eat. He wasn't angry with Luna, mostly because she was to kind to be mad at but he was confused as to who Luna really saw leave with Harry's cloak.

"Maybe Malfoy found out where we live and came to steal the cloak disguised as Merlin!" Ginny scream jokingly.

"Ginny that's not funny. Sides Malfoy doesn't know Merlin's here and he'd have to get a hair to change." Hermione stated. Harry felt slightly relieved that she always over analyzed things. Merlin, however, knew why Hermione had really said what she had. It made sense. She believed Harry was with Malfoy.

"Thank for the food. I think I'm going to go look for Arthur. He forgot his jacket and sword." Harry stood and left his dish in the sink, "I'll clean it later." He walked out quickly and sprinted for the forest.

WITH ARTHUR PENDRAGON

"You must be Draco Malfoy." Arthur said stepping out from behind the tree. Draco tensed and grabbed his wand pointing it at Arthur.

"Who are you?" he asked.

"I'm a friend of Harry's. Don't worry. I won't tell anyone about your arrangement." Arthur smiled.

"What arrangement. I should curse you right now for being Potter's friend." Draco spat.

"Draco. Stop. I know what it's like to have feelings for someone you shouldn't. Your secret is safe with me." Arthur put his hands up and turned around. "I'm unarmed." Draco put his wand away and nodded letting Arthur put his hands down.

"How do you know Harry?" He pressed.

"Merlin and I, Merlin used to be my servant," Arthur explained.

"Person you shouldn't have feelings for?" Draco asked.

"Yes." Arthur replied, "He was kidnapped I saved him but we somehow ended up here. Ron and Harry convinced the others to let us stay. I'm teaching them how to work their way around swords." Arthur smiled and sat down leaning against a tree. Draco sat against the tree across him.

"The Weasleys are generous, I'm amazed they needed persuading." Draco commented.

"I made our welcome less welcoming. Merlin worked it out by telling me to shut up. Ironically." Arthur rubbed his eyes, "I came out here looking for him."

"Sorry. Harry didn't want to be seen coming out here with his cloak and returning without it." Draco explained, putting the cloak over him so he looked like a floating head.

"It's cold. I imagine he'll be running over soon." Arthur stood rubbing his hands together.

"He'll try to find you first. Make sure you don't find out." Draco shivered and held the coat tighter to him.

"Unless I meet him on the way." Arthur smiled, "If Harry doesn't want anyone to know, I won't tell anyone and you can chose whether or not you tell him about our meeting."

"I think it'd be best if he didn't know. He would worry about you using it against him." Draco smiled.

"See you in school." Arthur turned and left. He ran towards the field not wanting Draco to wait longer for Harry.

"Arthur!" Harry smiled half-heartedly. He wanted to find Arthur but now he had no reason to stay in the forest and be with Draco.

"It's a big forest Harry. Weird thing too. I thought I heard someone talking but it was just my imagination. Nothing there!" Arthur chuckled out of breath.

"Really?" Harry asked somewhat relieved.

"Yeah. Check it out if you want. I'll just tell the others that I didn't run into you. That way you can take your time. Is Merlin inside?" Arthur spoke quickly so Harry wouldn't have much time to process what he said.

"Yeah." Harry replied, his breath fogging the bottom of his glasses slightly.

"Good see you later." Arthur jogged away from Harry towards the house. He looked back, seeing Harry gone, he slowed down. "Wouldn't want to fall into a-" His foot slipped from under him and sent him slipping into one of the many small ponds. "Pond."

AT THE HOUSE/CASA/Chateau

Merlin rubbed his hands together over the fire in the room's fireplace. He was grateful to Hermione for having made a separate one just for his room. Then, the front door slammed open.

"Arthur!" Hermione asked sounding as if she were going to laugh.

"Did you see Harry?" Ginny asked.

"No. I slipped. You have no idea how long it took me to get out." Arthur grunted. Merlin suppressed a chuckle.

"Is your ankle alright?" Hermione asked giggling.

"Fine. Just fine." Arthur limped to the room. Merlin laid down on the bed and turned his back to the door. He didn't want to fight with Arthur over a simple mistake which led to him falling in a pond and getting soaked. But after the blond opened the door, he stood there. Merlin swore he could feel Arthur's eyes on him. Grunted as if the light from outside was bothering his sleep.

Arthur limped in and closed the door not wanting to wake Merlin if the brunette was truly asleep. He removed his shirt and pants, then walked over to the laundry basket by Merlin's bed and placed his clothing in there. Merlin held his breath; his eyes closed hoping he wouldn't be tempted to turn and look at Arthur's naked body. Arthur walked into the bathroom, a gift from Hermione as well. He walked into the shower and turned the water on, leaving the door slightly ajar. Merlin turned, gulping as he realized that he could see Arthur showering if he tilted his head a little when looking at the mirror.

Why is there a mirror in here?

He bit his lip and walked slowly over to the bathroom door. Merlin, what are you doing? Its ok, Arthur showers with his eyes closed. He won't see you. Right? Merlin looked through the crack, hypnotized by the way the water ran down Arthur's muscles so slowly. He gulped as Arthur began rubbing soap against his chest, making his way slowly down towards…

Harry knocked on the door, Arthur's eyes flew open and Merlin threw himself back away from the bathroom door towards the room door.

"Merlin?" Harry asked somewhat impatiently.

"Yes?" Merlin asked opening the door. Harry walked in and turned the light on.

"I owe you an explanation. Earlier, about what Luna said…" Harry looked at the mirror, Merlin turned to him with eyebrows raised. "Is that Arthur?" Merlin's eyes widened he looked over at the mirror, seeing Arthur looking at him through the mirror. Without lifting a finger, Merlin shut the door and moved the mirror.

"You were saying?" Merlin walked over to his bed smiling at Harry.

"About the cloak." Harry sighed and looked at Merlin; he knew he deserved an explanation.

"I was for the person you truly like. I know. I understand. Next time warn me. That way you don't have to worry about anything and go running into the forest like a crazy man." Merlin smiled hoping Arthur hadn't realized what Merlin had been doing.

"Merlin. Thank you. And, I'll make sure to keep certain things to myself," Harry whispered pointing towards the door. He smiled then walked outside turning off the lights.

Merlin laid back relieved and put a hand over his eyes, not noticing that the water had stopped pouring.

"What did Harry come to talk about?" Arthur asked, towel wrapped around his waist.

Merlin's heart skipped a beat. He kept his arm over his face, "I went into the forest with the cloak and no one saw me come back. He said I should notify people when I'm back so no one worries."

Arthur nodded knowing Merlin was lying, "good night Merlin." He walked over to his bed and laid down, not even putting the covers over himself. Merlin removed his hand to look over at him.

"You're not going to put on your night clothes?" Merlin asked.

"Nope." Arthur put his hands behind his head, looking up at the ceiling.

"And you're not going to cover yourself?" Merlin asked sounding slightly frantic.

"No, Merlin. I took a hot shower I don't want to get dressed or cover myself." Arthur replied. He could feel Merlin watching him.

"What if someone walks in?"

"That's why I have a towel."

"You're not worried you'll get sick?" Merlin stared at Arthur.

"Honestly Merlin I didn't think you cared so much." Arthur sat up. Merlin watched the towel, he saw it loosen. What if it falls off? "Does it bother you?"

"What?" Merlin asked distracted.

Arthur smiled.
