When Irish Eyes Are Smiling - Chapter 1

It was a brand new year, at Hogwarts, and it was Nate's first. He had moved from Canada, to England, and transferred Wizarding schools. This in mind, he had to talk to the headmaster of Hogwarts with his family. It had went well, Nate was warmly welcomed by the headmaster, who's name was Dumbledore, and he had been placed in the house of Gryffindor, and had been given his list of subjects, and supplies he had to buy. At this time Nate was walking through Diagon Alley to find his needed supplies. He had just bought a gorgeous, jet-black cat from Magical Menagerie, which he had decided to name Luna. She was curled up in his arms as Nate walked down the Alley. He was about to enter Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions, to be fitted, when he ran into someone and fell to the ground, still holding onto Luna. Some of his supplies has spilled to the floor, which after he recovered from the fall, he began to gather. The person who had knocked him over knelt down to help him stating " I'm so sorry I didn't see you there."

Nate feeling flustered, finished collecting his supplies. He got up, and was about to accept the person's apology when he looked up, and looked at the person. He couldn't muster even one word, as he looked at the boy before of him. He was taller than Nate by a bit, had short brown hair, and wonderful eyes someone could get lost in. " The name's Seamus." the boy stated.

"Umm, hi, I'm Nate." Nate managed to say.

" I don't recognise you, are you new to Hogwarts?" Seamus asked.

" Yes, it's my fifthyear of wizarding school, and I just moved here from Canada, so I have to go to Hogwarts." Nate stated quickly.

" Oh cool, well then I'll see you soon then." Seamus said before leaving.

Nate watched as Seamus walked away. He was gorgeous, he seemed very nice, but nothing would happen.

Don't get your hopes up, he's probably completely straight. Don't even think about him focus on getting your supplies, and succeeding in school.

But his eyes, and his face, and....he's so nice.

That doesn't matter.

But..

NO!

Great, now he was arguing with himself. " I guess I better finish this list." Nate stated, setting off for the next shop.
