Airous's father had sent the letter to his son about showing up at Hogwarts to take his child back home. However his father did not think that Airous listened since he normally didn't. The secret passageway from the small pub in hogsmade that lead to the room of requirement was exactly where Airous's father was coming from.
The man had cracks by his eyes and looked older than he was. Ever since his wife left him he found it hard to be sober. That's way he drank a beer before he decided to write his son a letter and try to break into the school. The small passageway was smaller than he remembered. He was sure that he could fit but know that he started he was getting ill from the tight space.
Finally after about 10 minutes light shown threw from the tunnel as he climbed into the room of requirement. He dusted himself off and opened the door into the school. He watched students run around as he passed by in the hall. Some looked at him with a confused expression but mostly they walked off. It was time to find Airous.

"NO RUNNING IN THE-" Jonathan turned around to glare at the two Gryffindor students only to see that they were already long gone. A frown spread his face as he nearly whispered the last word that had been cut off from the shock of them disappearing so fast. "hall..." As he shook his head and continued on his way, he mumbled something about students as of late. Though, it went unheard because the corridors were mostly empty. Save for a few students making their way to class. Typically, he didn't spend much time on the seventh floor. He didn't have much of a reason to. He didn't even particularly care for the Room of Requirement because it contained too many memories. And he obviously had no business in Gryffindor Tower. But sometimes between classes, he wandered. It was easier than sitting in his office thinking.
He wasn't even quite sure how he ended up on the seventh floor, really. It wasn't a floor he occupied often. And when he passed where he knew the Room of Requirement was and felt that pang of memory hit his heart and cause him to flinch and shy away from the room... he knew why. He'd always heard it could be a beautiful place... but from his experience, it was everything but. It wasn't until he heard the door open that he spun around to actually face the room. He saw the man exit and frowned. Another pair of Gryffindors ran past him and he glowered in their direction. "NO RUNNING IN THE-" this time he was cut off by how strange the man actually looked amongst everyone before he could manage to say "hall."
"What are you doing here?" Jonathan demanded of the man, glancing at a first year crawling into the Gryffindor common room. "Are you look for someone? Because if you are, you have to go to the main office for that." He frowned again, silently brushing a stray lock of blonde hair out of his face as he did so.

Airous's father steeped forward to Jonathan. "And who are you to tell me what i should do?" He glared. The smell of booze came off of him and it was hard for him to walk straight. "I'm looking for my son, a first year about .....4 feet something inches." He coughed into his arm and looked back up. The light hit his face and some similar features to Airous's shown, like the green eyes and high cheek bones. "the damn kid is a hufferpuff." he chuckled "what a shame to my family. Now you won't happen to know where i could find him or the hufferpuff chambers would you?" he asked taking a few more steps toward Jonathan and taking a old looking wand out of his pocket.
"If you don't tell me what i want i can make your death wishes come true or better yet make you wish you had a death wish. Now tell me where i can find the bastard child of mine so i can knock his brains out with my bat at home." he threatened.

Jonathan returned the glare with one of his own. He didn't have the dark Doom eyes like most of the males in the Doom line seemed to... yet, as he stared at the man, he was sure he had that intimidating glare that was characteristic of Doom's. "Well, I am a teacher at the school... and a Head of House... I believe that does give me authority to direct someone to... where they should go." As the man stood close to him, the first thing that hit him was the smell of alcohol. He couldn't say the smell was new to him. The Doom's were known for their ability to hold their alcohol well. Himself included- though he rarely drank. He saw the similarities between him and Airous and frowned once he caught them.
"Shame?" Jonathan asked, raising an eyebrow. "I kind of find that a bit offensive. Seeing as how I graduated in Hufflepuff house. Anyway, I can't tell you where he is- unless you get permission to be here. Just doing my job." Jonathan had his wand drawn quick when he saw the others hand go to his pocket. "That's funny. See, according to most of the people that know me... I already have a death wish. And, yet, here I am. Alive."

The man looked at Jonathan and laughed. "I'm so sorry you where a puff. My friends and I use to hang puffs by their toe nails from trees." He smirked and laughed again when Jonathan took out his wand. "You think your so smart being a puff huh? you think you can stop me? My child is coming home and is NOT staying at this institution especially if he is a puff like you. "
He waited for Jonathan's next move. "Go ahead. hit me with you best shot puff boy!" He stood up straight in a drunk position, racking his brain for the best spell to us but the only one that he remembered was the killing curse.

OOC: Sorry that it's delayed. >>
When the other apologized to Jon because Jon had been a Puff, he merely shook his head solemnly and laughed. He couldn't help but wonder how the yellow on his robe and the Puff crest hadn't given it off. Then again, the man didn't seem completely sober. "It's sad," Jonathan said, shaking his head once more. "the way people treat Hufflepuffs. Really, we're the most patient, tolerant witches and wizards there are. Perhaps that's why people do such things. Taking advantage of our patience and our tolerance. Heartbreaking, really. I don't think I'm smart because I'm a Puff. If I recall correctly, the Ravenclaws are generally the smart ones. Regardless, I can't let you take him home. I'm just a Head of House. You'll have to speak to the Headmistress for that."
Shaking his head solemnly once more, he pointed his wand at the other, holding it hard and steady. He was sure the man couldn't hold his wand that steady if he tried. "Ah, but I'm not going to throw a curse unless I feel threatened. That would just be wrong. But, make me feel threatened and you can bet I'll hit you with my best shot. Did you not pay attention to what I said about patience? I have plenty of it. Now, I'm going to ask you this one time and this one time only to leave."

The man glared. "I am not leaving until i have my son. Now if your not going to go get him than i well." He looked around. "Where is the hufferpuff common room again?" he turned back to the man. He slowly moved his wand toward Jonathan's throat. "You well either show me the way or bring my son to me now." He growled in anger.
A few students ran by and stared at the two men. Then giggled and ran off. Airous's father turned around glaring. "what are you laughing at?" he growled pointing his wand drunkenly at them. He turned back toward Jonathan. "No more fooling around. Go get my f**k**g son or else!"
