A/N: Hello again! I'm updating much more frequently now, amazing huh? Well
anyway, don't mind me as I shamelessly advertise my other stories!
I would really like some more feedback about my one-shot Without You. It's
Harry Potter related. Though it is a little dark. Okay, a lot dark, beings
as there are two character deaths. But really, if you're into that, please
read it and give me some feedback!
I'm also currently in the middle of my other story Silence. It's also a
Harry Potter story.
And if all of that doesn't explain why it takes so long to update, consider
schoolwork. Cuz I have a lot of that. And baby-sitting my younger sister.
Disclaimer: I don't own any Harry Potter characters. Those are strictly J. K. Rowling's and I am merely using them for my story writing pleasure. Don't blame me if they are seriously messed up when I give them back.

Chapter 5: Home Again, Home Again
It was late when Harry, Draco and Blaise arrived back home. The lights were all out, and the sky was dark. Of course, that did not mean that everyone was asleep, or that no one was standing guard.
Draco opened the door quietly, and shoved Blaise through, muttering something about staying silent. Draco slipped through the door after him. He then turned, beckoning to Harry to follow.
Draco turned back around and squeaked in terror. Standing in front of him, dressed all in black, was one very angry man.
The man shook his head of sandy blonde hair, tapping his foot impatiently. "Where have you been?" he whispered furiously, motioning to Harry to shut the door. "And who is this person that you brought with you? You know the rules!" he announced furiously, as Harry shut the door.
Draco winced. "Hello Aidan, I apologize for being late. Could we maybe get something to eat?" Harry asked calmly. The man smiled, motioning towards the rest of the house. "Of course. Please, help yourself Harry." He answered graciously, stepping aside to allow Harry to walk by.
Draco tried to follow, but was abruptly cut off by Aidan. "I'm not finished with you yet." Aidan said sharply, grabbing Draco's collar and dragging him off down the hall. Draco grudgingly came along, but only because he saw no other choice.
Aidan stopped in front of a door, and knocked on it. "Anyone in here?" he called through the door. "Wha--?" someone asked sleepily. There was a loud thumping sound, and the sound of something breaking, and a shriek. Aidan winced. "Try not to break anything Rin, please!" he called.
"Sorry Aidan, it was Sesaru's fault! He broke it!" a man's voice floated through the door. The man sounded sleepy. Draco sighed. "Aidan, I'm a little hungry, and I don't think Blaise here appreciates being drug around like a dog."
Aidan glanced back at Draco. "You can shut up. Sesaru, Rin, I kind of need this room at the current moment, so can you clear out?" Aidan called kindly.
A few minutes later two men walked out of the room arm in arm. "Sorry for the mess Aidan, I'll clean it up tomorrow, promise." One whispered. The other smiled sheepishly. "Aidan, uh, I'm really sorry about the vase. But you kinda startled me." he added.
Aidan just smiled and nodded, apparently used to this kind of thing. "It's quite alright, Rin, Sesaru. Sorry to wake you two up, but it's slightly urgent." He told them quietly, gesturing at Draco.
The black haired man smiled. "Nice to see you back again Draco!" he said. Draco grimaced.
"I'd love to say it's nice to be back, Rin, but Aidan's kinda spoiled it for me." Draco told him with a hint of malice in his voice. The other man laughed. "He's been worried sick about you two. Hey, who'd you bring back with you?"
Draco blinked. Then he realized what the man had asked. "Oh, him. This is Blaise. Sesaru, meet Blaise. Blaise, ah nevermind. He's not important enough. Well, I'll be seeing you two later. Don't get into any more trouble now!" Draco said as he was dragged into the room.
The door was slammed shut, and Rin and Sesaru were left standing in the hall looking stupid. After a few seconds of staring at the door, they walked off down the hall to the kitchen.
Inside the room, Draco was calmly sitting in the middle of the floor, watching Blaise, who was standing beside him. Aidan was sitting on the chair across from them. The room was silent for a few moments. Aidan put his head in his hands and sat like that for a few moments.
"Draco. How many times must I tell you? We cannot have Voldemort's cronies here. We cannot have anyone who is not a part of either the Forbidden, or the Republic here. NO GUESTS. PERIOD. Understood?" Aidan asked him angrily.
Draco nodded, blushing. "I'm sorry for making you worry Aidan, and I apologize for breaking the rules. It won't happen again, so please, get some sleep. You sound dead tired." Draco said as he stood up, walking over to sit beside him. "Are you alright Aidan?" he asked in concern.
Blaise stood silently, watching the two of them intently. He knew that there was no escaping his fate, and had basically given up.
Aidan nodded. "I'm fine Draco, now go get something to eat. And get rid of your friend, alright?" he got up and walked over to the door. "Are you coming Draco, Blaise? I'm sure Rin and Sesaru would appreciate getting their room back." Aidan asked cheerfully as he opened the door.
Draco stood up as well, grabbing Blaise and walking out the open door without a second glance. Blaise walked behind Draco silently, wondering if Draco had noticed what he had.
Aidan watched them go, a faint smile on his face. He closed the door behind him and leaned up against it. He stood there silently, listening to the hum of activity in the house.
He heard water running in the room beside him. He heard the sound of people talking quietly in the kitchen, and the sound of a fight in the room across from him. He stood up then, walking slowly down the hall in the direction he came.
He heard the sounds of everyday activity in each of the rooms as he
passed them by.
He walked through the room at the end of the hall, and down another hall. At the end of the hall he opened the door. He walked into the room, shutting it behind him, and walked over to the bed. He collapsed upon the bed, and fell asleep not long after, thoughts of all the unfinished work he had to do still running through his head.
A/N: Well, this is the end of chapter 5. You learned about Aidan, and met Rin and Sesaru! You also have arrived at their 'home'! Who knows what you'll learn next! Drop me a review! Be the first to review and the next chapter's dedicated to you! And, as always, don't be afraid to tell me exactly what you think! Likes, dislikes, gripes, I want to hear it all. Except if you've got a complaint about the SLASH warning I mentioned, and any suggested themes you picked up on.
