Chapter 4: Passing out &Truth
'I did not know why, but Ciaren was nervous being under my stare. I almost cackled, but before I did such a thing, I stopped myself. I did not want to make him even more uncomfortable than what he already was.'
In a matter of seconds, the three eye-catching men popped into the large well-designed drawing room that was in Draco's manor.
"Take a seat, make yourselves at home. We have much to discuss." Draco's voice rang trough the empty room.
The three men made their way to the comfortable looking couches.
"Draco tell me what is so... in lack of a better word intense about this situation. Because I know that, this is more than what it appears to be. I know you; your posture is rigid, stiff. Something is up. And I for one want to know what is going on." Harry's voice was determined and sounding as if he was preparing himself for the worst.
"You're right Harry. There is more going on than what it appears to be. I wanted to bring you here so that you wouldn't run away from what we are going to reveal to you. This will be hard on you and I lament whatever pain you will feel at the cost. Nevertheless, you must know. It's in your right." Draco's voice was considerate and sincere. He obviously did not want to hurt his most loyal of all friends.
"Pray tell, Draco, what would this right of mine be?" Harry said almost whispering.
"Well, umm, you see... it's not easy for me to say this—" Draco mumbled before he was cut off.
"It has everything to do with me Harry, and evolves you just as much." Ciaren's said with a strong voice, filled with uncertainty that was mixed in with... fear.
'I really had no idea of what was happening. I was interested and questioning Draco, but nothing new came out of his mouth that he had not already told me earlier. It seemed that he was frightened of my reaction.'
'In addition, Ciaren didn't look any better. He was fidgeting with the edge of his sleeve. He had run his hand over his considerably wavy midnight black hair identically like Sirius when he was nervous.'
'Something strange was going on and I was determined to find out what it was. After all, I might have been put in Griffindor, but the sorting hat did try to put me in Slytherin. I do have Slytherin characteristics in me. And I embrace that now, not like when I was eleven and tried to denied it and attempted to bury it in the depths of the earth.'
"Look Harry, what I need to tell you is highly significant. Just give me a couple of minutes to find were my nerve left to." Ciaren said, his hands balled into nervous fists in his lap. He looked away, silent as the grave it seemed.
'In the moment that had followed Ciaren's statement I took it as an opportunity to view my surroundings. I had been in that very part of the manor many times before, but before it was previously decorated in Lucius tastes. It was formerly dreary and intimidating.'
'Now on the other hand that Draco had finally redecorated the place it looked more alluring than ever before. It's still in some part threatening, but in its own way. It's extremely different from his father's sense of décor.'
'Anyway it was to be expected. Draco is a Malfoy and a Slytherin. What else could anybody expect from both forms of aristocratic and clever witted aspects of Draco from his family and school house?'
'I had let my mind wonder those few minutes of awkward silence in which trough out my viewing of my surroundings I had been feeling slightly ill. Soon however I came back with the help of Ciaren calling my name.'
"Harry? Are you feeling well? You zoned out on us. Are you getting ill because of the rain? You look flushed. Here let me feel your temperature." Ciaren advanced to Harry's side and had laid his hand on top of Harry's forehead, Harry on the other hand tried to swat his hand away.
"I'm fine. No need to fuss." Harry said in a weak voice.
"You're burning up Harry. Harry!" Ciaren exclaimed.
Harry had passed out cold with Ciaren's soft hand over Harry's brow.
"Harry! Ciaren lift him. I'll lead you to his room." Draco said in a mandatory voice taking matters into his own hands.
'The fist time that I had awoken from having fainted I was being carried with much gentleness from someone unknown to me because I had not looked up. However my curiosity got the better of me (and it still does to this present day... I think should do something about it). Anyway, soon after I had looked up and found Ciaren to my greatest astonishment. He looked concerned and had a glint in his eyes that declared an if-you-don't-get-out-of my- way-I'll-hurt-you type of look.'
'I was drowsy, but I could identify Draco's voice commanding some house elf to bring a healing and sleeping potion to my room.'
'I had previously lived with Draco. Before Ginny and I moved in together in a flat. Draco was great to talk to, with his sarcasm and sharp mind. I guess that if it were not for Ginny I would still be living with him.'
'She had asked me if I was capable of living for a wile with her. To get used to living in the real world and it would help her to get accustomed to it with me being beside her for some time. It had been at that time four months since I had gone and live with her.'
'Draco had offered for her to live with us, but she had declined. She wanted to experience the real world and not be shielded from it. She said she wanted to see how it was to pay rent, food, electricity, and all of those bills that drives people crazy.'
'So instead of Draco and I splitting we decided in a three bedroom flat. Every once in a wile we would come over to his though.'
'Anyway I got steered out of track here. Before I fell asleep I saw Ciaren look down and held my gaze until my eyelids finally fluttered shut.'
"Ciaren, lay him down on top of the bed and light up the hearth. We have to wait until that bloody excuse of an elf comes with the potions necessary to heal Harry." Draco declared.
Ciaren said nothing. He did what he had been told, but did not let a sound out.
With a popping sound a house elf finally came. "Master Draco Sir I am here to deliver your requested potions Sir."
"Put them on the night stand . Next time be quick about it. You took an alarming amount of time to acquire two potions. Now leave, I need you no more." Draco said harshly to the elf.
"Wake him up Ciaren and give him the healing potion first and then the sleeping draught. Draco said.
Making his way towards Harry Ciaren woke him up gently, but not fully and proceeded to give him both tonics.
"He'll be out for the whole night. Do you want to sleep here or do you want a room?" Draco asked.
"I prefer to sleep here if you don't mind." Ciaren said
"Very well I'll keep you company." Draco whispered.
Thus, both men took a sofa and feel right to sleep, both dreading what morning will bring.
'When morning had come I woke up to find two sleeping men at my sides. Each in there own couch.'
'It was still raining hard outside. The sky was covered by angry gray clouds pouring their bitter cold drops of water into the earth.'
"Harry you finally woke up from your slumber. Are you feeling well?" Draco asked startling Harry.
"Damn it Draco you scared me. And For your question I'm fine, tank you for looking over me." Harry said graciously.
"No problem Harry. You know I'll do anything for my best friend." Draco said.
They smiled to one another until Ciaren awoke and asked Harry if he was fine.
"I'm fine don't worry. Thanks for helping me." Harry said.
"You're welcome. Are you hungry?" Ciaren asked.
"Yes." Harry said and with that Draco called upon a different house elf and ordered what they were going to eat. All three men ate peacefully until they all reached their last bite of food and two of them were dreading to continue, but knew it had to be done.
"Harry I think it time to tell you what we have been meaning to since yesterday." Draco said carefully watching his words.
"Go on then. Tell me" Harry encouraged Draco.
"Well you see Harry," Ciaren continued after Draco, "I got a confession to make to you. You see I didn't want to encounter you again, but Draco here found me and confronted me to seek you out and tell you what happened to me. I didn't want to, but here I am."
"Draco was trying to encourage me to confront my fear and so he put that walky-talky muggle contraption thing in your pocked to reassure me that coming into your life again would only benefit the both of us instead of making the both of us suffer because I was to afraid to come in to your life again. I was scared that I would be unwanted by your part. However, Draco thought that I was being stupid and I quote, 'You are being an idiot as always, but you need to start being like the Grifindor you are you fucking ass and stop acting as if you had your tail between your legs.' In addition, you are the one and only person whose opinion I value. I could not bare for you to reject me." Ciaren said sadly with a hint of a waver in his voice.
"I was not ready when you came and made your presence known in the church the previous day. Therefore, I had asked Draco for a little time, and so he introduced me as Ciaren." The man affirmed.
"So then who are you?" Harry requested.
"I am Sirius Black, your godfather Harry." Sirius declared carefully, afraid of his godson's reaction.
A/N: The part with Harry getting ill came to me 'cause I'm sick right now. So yeah... that's 1 of reasons why I haven't up dated. The other 1's were that I have had a massive amount of homework having Pre AP classes and all plus having to study for my PSAT'S test. Thanks for checking over this Mikki.
Anyway, this chap is longer than my other chaps, so R/R people.
Also do any of you guys ever heard of Alcatraz? It's a prison that was built in an island away from this state which I forgot the name of. Anyway, it's in shark infested waters and is isolated from more contact. It was 1 of the most recognized prisons in its time. I'm just saying 'cause it reminds me of Azkaban.
In another note thanks for those people who wished me well on my exams. THANKS as well for the reviews.
