Tears

Chapter 3: Ciaren

'I did not know at the time of what was in the interior of my robe's pocket. I did not feel anything being put within my it. However, knowing my sly friend, Draco, I guess I should not be so surprised at his ability to be undetectable when he wants to be. After all, he is a Slytherin.'

'So with my mind set on its purpose I headed out in to the rain and followed the path that led to the church. I admit it was a nice pleasant walk. It might have been pouring cats and dogs, but it was relaxing. Before I knew it, I was in front of the wooden carved church doors.'


Opening the doors slightly at first, Harry peered in and noticed of the first time in his third visit to the cathedral, the beautiful carvings in the wood. The windows that had the pictures of the remembered righteous people, the place was full of burning candles, which illuminated shadows in the elegant walls. In the center passageway, he noticed a man in a stunning tailored ebony colored suit.

The man looked strikingly handsome, about his mid twenty's. He was facing to the side and Harry could notice almost every tight muscle that was being covered under a silky button down shirt that was ocean blue color. The shadows that came from the burning candles made it impossible to actually see beyond the man's lusciously plump lips.

To his left, fully facing Harry, stood Draco in all his glory fully dried from the previous encounter with the rainfall. Unlike Harry who had chosen to stay quenched, making his clothes look as if they were a second skin, outlining every curve and strong flexible muscles.

Soon after Draco noticed Harry and vice versa, Draco started of the conversation with the introduction of the man standing besides him.

"Harry let me introduce you to my good friend Ciaren. Ciaren this is also another first-rate friend of mine, this is Harry." Draco's voice echoed on the deserted building.

"Hello." The both men said in unison and finally faced each other and shook hands. However, much to the annoyance of Harry's part he was still not able to see Ciaren's face properly.


'I was so aggravated that I could not see Ciaren's face. I felt that I knew him from some were. He seemed so familiar to me, but I could not place from were. It was frustrating for me.'


Turning his attention to Draco, Harry finally asked. "So Draco what's the big mystery?"

"That my dear Harry I will answer when we arrive at my manor. What do you say? You feel that you can apperate to my humble home?" Draco Answered.

"Humble home? Yeah sure I don't feel to down too not be able to apperate to your house." Harry stated.

However he felt that he was being looked over from head to toe, but was unable to prove that he was actually being checked on. Thanks to the poor lighting in the place. It made him more aware of his soaking stated and apparently since Draco and himself knew each other so well; Draco was able to tell that he was feeling a little uncomfortable.

"Harry what do you say if we dry you up before we go anywhere?" Draco suggested.

"Oh yes, thanks for reminding me D." Harry answered quickly. Therefore, with a flick of his wand Harry was dried and warm again.

"But before we leave could you give me at least a little hint of what you want to discus with me?" Harry asked with interest.

"Don't worry Harry; I won't leave you with nothing I believe that I have to provide you with something." Draco said thoughtfully.

"And what would that clue be?" Harry asked with suppressed curiosity.

"Well I'll just tell you this; Ciaren plays a big role in it all." Draco finally said, with a small knowing smile gracing his face.

Furthermore, with that said Harry eyed the new comer with my more interest than before. This made the other man feel uncomfortable being under Harry's stare.

"Well gentlemen, shall we make are way?" Draco asked. And so the threesome made there way to Draco's "humble home."


Note: things are taking longer than what I thought they would take. Maybe 1 or 2 more chaps to go. Also thanks Mikki, for checking over this. R/R
