A/N: Chapter 15? Already? Weird…

Anyway! Here's a little recap on what happened in chapters 13 and 14:

13: Lucius got his Dark Mark and persuaded Voldy the Moldy to talk to Aries, his brother, so that he could join the Death Eaters. Aries says that he doesn't want to, they argue, Lucius calls Aries a coward, and then Aries agrees to see Voldemort. Lucius apparates himself and Aries under the Ministry to Death Eater HQ. Lucius gets locked out of the room where Voldy and Aries were talking.

14: Aries leaves the room, and Lucius keeps annoying him about telling him what they had talked about. Aries said that he'd tell Lucius later. The brothers get home and Aries tells Lucius that he said no when Voldy asked him to join his army. Lucius yells, calls Aries a coward, and Aries freaks out. He curses Lucius, using the electric-shock spell on him, and Lucius says that they are no longer brothers. Aries runs away, leaving a note for his family saying that he'll be better and he'll be brave, and that he'll prove that he's not a coward.

Disclaimer: It's 2:30am, I have a final tomorrow, sorry today, I'm to tired too come up with anything witty to say, so I own nothing.

"That was the last time I ever saw Aries," Lucius said, looking down at his cup of tea that Narcissa had given him while he was telling the story of Aries.

"Have you heard from him since?" Mr. Weasley asked, hoping that he had, and that he knew where Aries might be.

"…Yes…"

"Can you tell us what he said?" Harry asked.

Lucius sighed and stood up from the couch. He walked over to a table that was up against one of the walls of the living room in Malfoy Manor, and opened one of the drawers. Harry and Mr. Weasley heard he sound of paper being moved around, and they looked at each other with a matching confused look on both their faces. Lucius rummaged around in the drawer for a few moments, and then turned around with a wrinkled envelope in his hand. He walked back over to the couch and sat back down.

"I got this letter a few months ago. I couldn't throw it away, because Aries had written it. I regret making him run away, I regret everything that happened, so I kept it. It doesn't say much, though." Lucius confessed as he looked down at the envelope for a second, and then handed it to Mr. Weasley.

"We'll make sure it's returned to you," Mr. Weasley promised.

"Thank you, Arthur."

"We'll be back if we learn anything, and please, tell us if Aries contacts you," Mr. Weasley said as he and Harry stood up from the couch that they had shared.

"Will do."

Lucius stood up and showed to two visitors to the door, and closed it after them.

"Father? What did they want to know about Aries?" Draco asked as he came over to the front door where Lucius was still standing.

"Nothing, Draco. Go help your mother," Lucius replied, looking down at his son. He saw the look in Draco's eyes that he had seen once to many times, the look that meant that he was about to argue with him. Draco opened his mouth whine, or plead, or argue with his father. He had worked up a huge speech about why he should know about why his old school mate and his old school mate's father had arrived at their house, unannounced, asking Lucius questions, but before he could say anything, Lucius shouted, "NOTHING!"

Draco stared at his father, seeing a look of fury and anger in his eyes that Draco had not seen in a long time. The last time Draco had seen the small light of anger in his father's eyes was during the war when he found out that Snape was dead. Lucius and Snape had been close friends, and learning that Voldemort had killed his close friend made something snap inside Draco's father, and he felt as if he needed revenge. It was a look of vivid rage that scared the hell out of Draco, and he knew to keep out of his father's way when the spark was in his eyes. Draco backed off and walked into the kitchen to help his mother, and heard Lucius stomp up the stairs to the hall of guest bedrooms.

Lucius ran up the stairs, and flew the door open to one of the 15 guest bedrooms in the huge hallway. When he opened the door, he saw a man laying down in the bed, twirling a wand in between him fingers, and staring off into space. His blue eyes were glazed over, showing that he was deep in thought.

"ARIES!" Lucius screamed, and Aries quickly jumped out of his trance, almost dropping his wand, and looked up at Lucius.

"Hello, brother, how are-"

"What the hell did you do?" Lucius spat out.

"What do you mean?"

"What did you do? Two men just came to my house asking questions about you, so you tell me right now what you've been doing when you sneak out ever night. I know you're not meeting some girl, so tell me NOW!" Lucius yelled.

Aries started at Lucius, seeing this strange anger for the first time.

"Actually, I have been meeting a girl. Just not in the way you think," Aries said, smirking. He started laughing, and Lucius cringed. His laugh sent shivers down Lucius' spine. It sounded so creepy and evil and it was so unnatural.

"What do you mean?" Lucius asked cautiously.

"That mudblood Hermione, I happen to have her captive." Aries said, and he started laughing again.

"What are you doing to her?" Lucius asked, secretly not wanting to know.

"You know, torturing her for information on that Potter boy and the Order." he answered, as if it was the simplest and most common thing to be doing to a person in the whole world.

Lucius stared at his brother, finally seeing how messed up and crazy he turned out. After spending a few years in St. Mungo's for suicide watch, Aries was never the same. He had come to seek shelter at Malfoy Manor a few months ago, begging Lucius for his forgiveness. Lucius forgave him, but never forgot what happened.

"You act like this is crazy, but as I remember, you did the exact same thing to millions of other people, right Lu-y? And you called me a coward for not joining you. I'm not a coward." Aries said, sounding crazier and crazier by the moment.

"Get out of my house. I don't want that kind of stuff being mixed up with my family again, and don't call my Lu-y." Lucius demanded.

"C'mon, Lu-y! Join me!" Aries pleaded, jumping up from the bed and standing in front of Lucius.

"I don't want to be the one to put you in Azkaban, but if you don't leave in the next 10 minutes, I will personally bring you to the prison myself. And if you call my Lu-y one more time, I will hex you to oblivion."

"Look who the coward is now! Oh, how the tables have turned and the mighty have fallen."

"OUT! NOW!" Lucius screamed.

"Fine, fine, I'm leaving." Aries said, as if being kicked out of his brother's home happened everyday.

He waved his wand, and everything that he owned flew into the open trunk. "You'll come crawling back to me, you just wait and see."

"Doubt it," Lucius answered while rolling his eyes.

"See 'ya, Lu-y!" Aries said as he started laughing.

"DON'T CALL ME THAT!" Lucius screamed at the room, but Aries had already apparated away, leaving the chilling echo of his laugh in Lucius' brain.

A/N: Well, we get to see some of Aries' crazy side, and Lucius' annoying childhood nickname! Yay for nicknames!

Review and all that jazz!
