After ordering a pot of coffee and poring into the leprechaun, his eyes become normal and he stopped laughing.... He then told his story and by the description he gave Rose guessed that the place he saw his pot last was Dublin's castle.
"We should get a cab then..." - said Alexis
"No, no. Me way better." - said the leprechaun and made them all hold hands. Then he took his stick and banged on the table three times. A rainbow appeared out of the thin air.
"Now get going. No time to waste." - he said and began to climb the rainbow
The rest followed...

As Avian and Scorpius stepped into the shimmering colors they felt light as clouds drifting across the night sky. Stepping out they found themselves in the courtyard of Dublin Castle. Uniformed guards were stationed here and there though the castle was now closed to the public. The tours had ended for the day and as a good portion of the castle was used for various government meetings it was dark and empty except for the guards.
The leprechaun put his finger across his lips and motioned for them to follow. He lead them around the edge of the courtyard making sure to stay in the shadows. They wound in and out of nooks and groups of trees before he stopped in front of a deeper nook holding a fountain with a stone leprechaun sitting on a pot of gold. He scrambled up and rubbed the nose of the statue and muttered a few words. The back of the nook then opened and he lead them through and into a small garden. Avian gasped when she saw all the trees and flowers for each glowed in a soft golden light.

Lena, Goyle and Liam were having a great time until the leprechaun showed up, how did they not know that there would be an adventure in an adventure when they were all together as a group. Liam had cracked up when the little man kissed Avian and thought for sure Scorpius would punch him, but to all there surprise he didn't touch him.
Once the Leprechaun was sober enough to tell them his tale and they all fallowed him to an amazing looking garden were Goyle was tempted to pick a flower for Lena. The Leprechaun then lead them to a spot on the ground were a giant brown spot sat. There had obviously been some sort of large round pot of some sort there and Liam looked at Damon with the same thought. If the pot-o-gold was that big then they would be rich for life.
"well this was were it sat" said Lena as she walked up to the spot to examine it. "that's interesting, the spot isn't so much browned from something sitting on it but it has become a little gold, wait whats this?" Lena moved some of the brown blades of grass to reveal a coin "oh well not all of your gold is lost." She picked it up and looked to the group.
Goyle was near the group but was more interested in the glowing flowers on a bush that were changing colors and decided that Lena would love to have one he was sure of it and picked the shiniest one he could find and ran to Lena "Hey look! It's a psychedelic flower!!" but by the time Goyle had gotten to the group the flower was an interesting shade of yellow and blue giving the appearance of being almost green. "hey what happened to it?" Goyle looked at it confused.

While Goyle had his nose in a flower bush Scorpius was watching some movement in a very large tree. Moving closer he noticed the leaves where in the shape of shamrocks. Reaching out to touch one he jumped back when he got a sharp bite on the finger. "Ouch! That tree bit me! Or something or someone in that tree." Using his wand to part the branches he looked into the opening. Smiling he waved Avian over. There sitting in the crook of a branch was a little boy and a littler girl. Both had fiery ginger hair and both wore bright green clothes that perfectly matched the leaves.
"Oh! How very sweet! They must be his children." Avian nodded toward the little man who was talking with Rose. Scorpius reached into his pocket and found two mints. These he held out to the children. The boy bravely walked forward and sniffed the candies. Then with a nod and a wink he took them both and returned to his spot beside his sister. Scorpius closed the leaves and approached the man and Rose.
"This is where your pot of gold went missing? And you think one from another clan took it? But why? Are you at war with them?"

Xander had no idea why he came to Dublin, but he vaguely remembered his sister saying she had wanted to go there someday. The whiskey he was kicking back was making his head spin, and that's the way he preferred his mental state these days. He didn't take Luna's death lightly. His sister was his other half, and when he watched Fenrir Greyback end her life, he knew the images would be burned in his memory until the day he died. Aleksander and Ramona didn't take it easily, either, but they handled the situation a lot better than Xander. His survivor's guilt made it impossible for him to go about his daily life without a lot of help from the bottle. He spent the night traveling from pub to pub, trying to drown his sorrows. He sat in the corner of a dimly-lit pub called "Howl at the Moon", quietly kicking back his current drink as he saw a group of people walk in. He knew them as his classmates from Hogwarts. It wasn't long since he last saw them, but he decided anonymity from them was best. He pulled up his hood and hunched over the table, his scar briefly catching the light. In his attempts to save Luna, he garnered a scar that started above his left eyebrow, and went straight down to his jaw. He watched the group of his classmates from afar, and watched them get into shenanigans with a leprechaun. They left with him, and Xander ordered another drink. He was pleased that his presence went unnoticed by them, and he continued to sulk in the corner, content on staying here until he was forced out.

"This is where your pot of gold went missing? And you think one from another clan took it? But why? Are you at war with them?" The leprechaun nodded and said:"Aj, this where me pot was. It was Seamus and Coilin. No, no, no war. We leprechauns love partaking in mischief. We sure love our whisky, gold and pranks." "Do you know where we can find Seamus and Coilin?" - asked Alexis "Aj, at the pub. ólta mar skunk." - said leperchaun "O Lord, why are all the leprechauns drunk as skunks?! What pub?" - said Rose "Because the love their whisky." - said Aida and grinned "That is the truth my lassy." - said the leperchaun - "At the Seamus' pub." Then the little man lead them down the ston path and in a few minutes you could hear the lively Irish music and lots of laughter... As they came closer they saw more and more little men dressed in green, dancing around the big fire... When they passed a group of laughing men no body even payed attention to them... "Me friends welcome to the Seamus' pub." - said their leperechaun All of them turned around but there was no building or anything you could call a pub, only a meadow with camp fire and lots of drunken little men...

Scorpius pulled Avian close and whispered in her ear. "Don't be fooled by them. Leprechauns, even when drunk, are a sly tricky bunch. And keep an eye on those knobby canes of theirs. They carry as much magic as a wand."
Avian nodded in understanding. She didn't think they were cute or funny and she was beginning to think it was only fair that he lost his gold. He certainly deserved it if he spent his days drunk and weaving about like a crazy person.

Lena and Goyle watched the gathering of leprechauns in slight disgust as they punched each other and sloshed there pints of beer and ale all over them selves as they danced. "They look like my dad and his friends when they get together to play snaps, only smaller and drunker." Goyle said as Liam was offered a drink from a very drunk wobbly guy.

Xander didn't know how long his classmates would be gone with the leprechaun, so he pushed it out of his mind, which was becoming fuzzier with every new drink. He sat at his corner table, watching the flame on the candle that was perched on the table. He emptied his glass, and the bartender came by with another drink. "What's the matter with you, boy? You're young...you should be happy to be alive!" "I'm not." Xander said, slightly slurring his words, but they still sounded hollow and empty. The bartender cast a concerned look at him, but set the glass down and walked away. The house ale tingled in his mouth as he took a swig of the frosted mug. How was it fair that the others didn't lose anything? How was it fair that he was the only one wallowing in freakish misery while the others could move on with their lives? Why were his parents able to act so cavalier about losing their only daughter, but Xander felt like half of him was missing? "It's not fair..." Xander mumbled, as he took another swig.
