Ch 20
The play had ended, and the lights came back on as the crowd whistled and cheered for the cast. Agyness and Marcus both stood with grins on their faces, Agyness clapping jovially and Marcus whistling as the cast came on stage, Jesabelle in center stage. Jes caught Agyness’s eye and waved to her and winked before she took a bow with her fellow cast members. Once her hands ached from clapping, the red velvet curtain had fallen, and the crowd had begun to disperse, Agyness turned to follow a pudgy, waddling woman on her way out through the closest aisle. “Wait,” Marcus grabbed her arm, “Let’s wait for Jes. She’ll come out to fetch us soon. She’d kill me if we left for the after-party without her.” Agyness obeyed and took her seat, her forearm tingling from where his hand just grasped.

They sat in relative silence for a few moments, until only a few members of the audience remained, trudging their way out, and the janitors had started to file in with their brooms. Before she knew it, a flash of platinum blonde hair had whipped out from behind the stage curtain and had bounded onto the carpet in front of where Agyness and Marcus sat. “How was it?” Jes demanded, her eyes twinkling and her face flushed with delight. She had changed into another one of her impeccable outfits, a definite upgrade from the comical Shakespearean costume that she had worn in the play.

“I loved it, Jes! You were excellent as Viola,” Agyness remarked, “Excellent as Viola playing a boy, too. The Twelfth Night has always been one of my favorite Shakespearean plays. It seemed like you had a few admirers in the audience during your performance; it sounded like someone on the upper tier whistled at you.” At this last remark, Marcus and Jesabelle gave into a bout of nervous laughter. “That would be The Lads,” Jes remarked, no embarrassedly raking her fingers through her hair and Marcus scratched his ginger head. “Which reminds me,” Marcus perked up, rising from his seat and beginning to exit, “I need to meet up with them. I’m giving them a lift to the pub. See you Agy, Jes.” And with that, Marcus quickly ran up the aisle and was gone.

Once he had left, Agyness turned her puzzled face towards Jes, her eyebrows rising, “Who are The Lads?”

“Oh, just Marcus’s old friends from school. They always watch my shows and support his music.” With that, Jes had begun to walk out of the theater, so Agyness quickly rose and began to follow. “They’ll absolutely adore, you. I just know it,” Jes commented as they made their way down an aisle and nearer to the door. Suddenly, it clicked. “Jes,” Agyness began, “Were those the guys who were causing a ruckus before the show started, trying to get Marcus’s attention?” “Not sure,” Jes furrowed her eyebrows as she pushed the oaken door open, “I couldn’t hear a thing backstage, but it was probably them. They’re always doing something out of whack.” Agyness nodded in reply, not sure what to make of that statement. Meeting new people always alarmed her somewhat.

“Do you have your clothes, darling?”
Agyness woke out of her thoughts. Clothes?
“Your other clothes that I told you to bring,” Jesabelle’s smile began to turn into a pout. “You’re not going to embarrass me at the after-party, are you?”
“Oh, no, I have them!” Agyness hastily answered, patting her purse with her hand. “When should I change?”
“Oh, at the pub. I’ll get you through the back entrance and to the bathroom.” Jes replied. They were at a curb and Jes was waving down a taxi.
When a taxi had screeched to a halt and the girls had begun to climb in, Agyness almost laughed in disbelief. She knew that fashionistas and the Irish could be pushy, but she now thought that the combination of the two could be lethal.

----------
Draco had apparated into a dark Dublin alley, and in the distance he could see a nearby street; a taxi had just zoomed away. The smell of week-old garbage, urine, and dead cat permeated his surroundings. “Filthy Micks,” He muttered as he placed his hand over his nose and began to walk out of the dank alleyway. He made it onto the sidewalk and stopped under the glow of a streetlamp. He looked left and right, staring into the passenger seats of each passing car. “Bloody Potter,” He had slapped his forehead with his palm for what had felt like the trillionth time today. “Where’s that stag when you need it?”

Knowing that standing in solitude would be futile, Draco made his way down the sidewalk, kicking aside occasional pebbles with vigor when they were in his way and sidestepping a middle-aged streetwalker as she tried to call his attention. If Potter somehow knew how she was in Dublin, then why couldn’t he have given Draco a bit more information on her exact location? But this was no time to wonder why or how Harry knew that Agyness was here. This was the time to begin the hunt. Draco wasn’t sure how limited his time was.
