Avian and Scorpius followed the others out into the street while looking over the tourist brochures they had picked up in the lobby. The day was warm and sunny and Avian was glad she had dressed casually in shorts and a cute knit top. They set off walking and soon found the Bank of Ireland Arts Center. An hour or so was spent looking at the exhibits before they moved on to the Guinness Storehouse where they were given a mug of Irish ale. Avian didn't much care for it so Scorpius finished hers. Then the girls found Arnott's and spent several hours trying on clothes while the boys found a tavern and waited.
After walking around Trinity they returned to their hotel to change for dinner and a night on the town. In honor of being in Ireland Avian wore an emerald green mini-dress and the emerald earrings Scorpius had given her for Christmas the year before. They matched her eyes perfectly. She left her hair down and it hung almost to the middle of her back. As she slipped on her heels she was once again glad that Scorpius was so much taller than she was so she could get away with such high ones.
Scorpius wore black slacks and jacket with a white silk shirt and only fussed a little when Avian tucked a green silk hankie into his breast pocket. He stood behind her and looked at the couple in the mirror who were smiling back at him. Their hair was very close to the same color with hers just a bit less white. He bent his head and kissed the top of her head and inhaled her warm smell letting it fill him up. Then she giggled and tugged him toward the door.

Alexis wore a little black dress Nikita made her for her birthday and deep green heels...She pulled her hair in to a low ponytail and put only mascara and lip-gloss... After checking her self once more in the mirror she let Louis dress and went to see how Aida and Stark were doing... There she found Stefan and Rose too...
Aida was dressed in to black shorts, violet shirt and black stilettos, her hair was left down and her make up was modest... Stark matched her in every way... Rose wore skinny jeans, black baby doll shirt and red high heel sandals... Her hair was done in half up do and her make up was done in light summer tones... Stefan looked handsome in him black slacks and red t-shirt with a jacket over it...
"Where is Louis?" - asked Aida
"Getting ready... How do I look?" - said Alexis
"Great..." - said Aida
"Thank you... You all look awesome..." - said Alexis - "Lets go to the living room and meet with the others..."
In the living room they found Liam and Damon looking their best.... After few minutes they were join by Louis, Avian and Scorp and last that came were Goyle and Lena... When they all were together Rose explained where they are going...
"To the Temple Bar Street, of course... It have the best pubs and nightclubs...You have Cassidy's Bar, Darkey Kelly's, The Temple Bar, Viper Room and many more... Those are pubs... With nightclubs you have Club M and Switch... So if you all are ready, let's get going..."- said Rose

Scorpius was getting rather tired of Irish lads breaking in while he and Avian were dancing so he started ignoring the taps on his shoulder. A few times he whispered "go away" and twice he almost screamed it before they were left alone. This made Avian giggle which only caused more attempted break-ins. Giving up he lead her back to their booth and their waiting friends.
"I will say Irishmen are the bullheadedest people on earth" Scorpius muttered as he ordered a tower of onion rings and some Irish cheese bites with chutney.
"You are funny and silly and I just adore you to bits." Avian laughed. "And I bet those Irish wenches over there that have been staring at you since we walked in wish they could take my place right now."
"We have wenches? Where?" Louis stood and looked around which caused Alexis to pinch him and all the others to laugh.

The mention of wenches made Liam and Damon stand up and look around... Two tall red heads smiled at them and in a second they were gone...
"I am taking bets... How long will take them to get slapped this time? I say three minutes..." - said Alexis
"I'll take that bet cousin... Five minutes... I still have fate in them..." - said Rose and passed Alexis 5 euros...
"Two minutes tops..." - said Aida and gave Alexis her 5 euros
In a few seconds all were betting on how long it would take for Liam and Damon to get slapped...

When Liam and Damon returned with each sporting a very red cheek Scorpius suggested they move on to another pub. Alexis hailed a cab as she put her winnings in her purse. After asking the cabbie to take them to a real Irish pub where tourist never visited they settled back and waited as the driver sped along past the buildings until they thinned out to almost none. He stopped in front of a small brick and sod building with shaded windows and chipped paint and wished them luck as he sped away.
The sign read "Howl at the Moon" and showed a wolf baying up at the full moon. "How very charming and what a clever sign. What genius came up with that I wonder." Louis grinned as he opened the door for the rest and then followed them inside.

Avian squinted into the dimly lit pub trying to get her bearings. This certainly wasn't anything like the brightly lit and modern clubs they had just left. How long had that cab ride taken she thought. Surely no more than half an hour. She suddenly felt that they should have paid more attention to where they were being driven. But her head had been fuzzy and Scorpius had been holding her and it had just been easier to let things just slip by.
Now she felt uneasy as all eyes turned toward their group. The fiddler had stopped playing and the bartender stopped filling mugs of ale to join the staring. It seemed most of the bar had been gathered around a table near the rear of the pub but now all eyes were on them. Louis waved as if to say go on with what you were doing and don't mind us then lead the way to a table in the center of the room.
This was a small pub with rough floors covered with a layer of sawdust. The bar was clean but simple with stacks of mugs and glasses mixed with bottles of spirits on a shelf under a mural of the pub when it was much newer. Gas lamps hung from the ceilings and Avian could smell the kerosene they burned. A dartboard hung on one wall and besides the fiddler that seemed to be the only form of entertainment. It was if they had stepped back in time.
A sassy waitress wiped their table and took their orders without even asking to look at the IDs Damon had worked so hard to alter. It had not been easy to age them a full year and he had been thrilled when they had passed inspection at all the other places. Tension eased some when the fiddler began playing and as the other patrons returned to watching whatever was happening at the table they were surrounding. Apparently the young people had been deemed no threat. Avian breathed easier as Scorpius squeezed her hand.

After a few glasses of fine Irish beer the group forgot where they are. The dull atmosphere was replaced by laughter and jocking around. The fiddler began to play more lively music and Damon even stole a few dances with a sassy waitress when the bartender was out back.
Stark and Alexis both started rubbing their eyes at something they saw. A small little man was racing around. He was dressed in green suit and he had orange beard and hair coming out under his very green hat. He was wobbling around in a very high speed.
"You seeing that?" - asked Stark when he saw Alexis looking at the same thing he was
Alexis only nodded.
"What is wrong with you two?" - asked Stefan looking around
"Do you honestly can't tell me you don't see a little man, dressed in green running around?" - asked Stark
"I think you had enough beer." - said Stefan
But then both Rose and Aida screamed as that little man claimed on their table. The rest just opened their mouths and inhaled a deep breath. The man was hiccuping and holding a small bottle. He smelled like a whiskey brewery and his small eyes were cross.
"I lost me pot of gold. Hahahaha. An raibh tú ag feiceáil é?Hahahahah Give a kiss lass! Hahahah" - he said and hiccuped again
Everybody exchanged looks.

"It is a leprechaun... A drunk one too..." - said Rose
The little man was dancing around and saying he lost his pot of gold...
"O how great... First day here and we meet a drunk leprechaun..." - said Aleixs
"What did he say?" - asked Aida
"He asked us if he saw his pot..." - said Rose
"Give a kiss lass!" - said the leprechaun and put a wet one on Avians lips - "I lost me pot of gold!"

Avian wiped her mouth with the back of her hand. "And you stink to high heaven too!" But as a sad look crossed over his face Avian softened her words. "What happens when you lose your gold?"
The little man was almost in tears now. "I can't go home. And I won't have any luck but bad. Gotta find that pot o' gold before sunrise my lassie."
Avian put a finger under his chin and lifted his head so he was looking into her eyes. ""I am thinking your good luck is still with you for you have found a fine group of wizards and witches and we will help you find your gold."

"We are?" - asked Damon
"Of course we are. Can you tell us where you last saw your pot?" - said Stark
Leprechan sat down, took a sip of his whisky and schrached his chin.
"I was making me shoes and then some man came and took me. They gave me whisky and made me dance on the table. That is where I saw me pot last." - said the leprechan
"Those men over there?" - said Stefan looking at the other table
"Mar sin féin, níl aon leprechauns eile. Us leprechauns we love our whiskies and gold." - said the leprechan
All head turned to Rose and Rose explained that other leprechauns took him, got him drunk and made him dance.
"Aren't your pots of gold hidden under the rainbow or something?" - asked Damon
The leprechaun stood up, smacked his head and said:"Pull me beard and call me lass, how didn't I think of that?"
Then he sat down and rolled his cross eyes.
"I lost me pot of gold." - he said and started laughing again
"We need to sober him up." - said Stark
