I hope you guys enjoy reading this and I hope it doesn't suck too much, it's been awhile since I've done this, please support me!

Well what do you want to know? The fact she goes to Hogwarts? That's she's in Gryffindor? Or the fact she was quite brainy? Or the fact she hated Draco Malfoy so much, or maybe the fact she loved Seamus?

Flashback…

They were both in second year and in the Great Hall Stacey was sat reading her potions book, there was no one really in there except here and a few others as she studied for a test she'll have in potions the next day. No one ever did the revision for it expect her and Hermione of course, ad possibly were the only two who did well in them. I'm not trying to say she's a "clever clogs" or a "smart ass" just the Professor Snape was pretty terrifying like all the time.

As she continued to read her book, there was another boy sat on the same table as her casting a spell on his drink. She didn't know him she just knew of him, which was quite bad in a sense seen as they had both been in the same house and classes since the beginning.

"Eye of rabbit, harp string hum, turn this water into rum." He chanted.

As he went to say it again he didn't get through half of the spell before it all blew up in his face. The people in the Great Hall all laughed at him as he looked down in embarrassment. Stacey felt really bad for the boy and decided to go see if he was okay. As she closed her book and shuffled do to where he was sat she realised that his eyebrows were missing.

"Hey, are you okay?" she asked him.

He didn't even realise she had shuffled down and was a bit startled when she spoke to him.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you or anything. I'll just go" as she was about to get up and leave he spoke.

"Sorry, I just didn't realise you'd moved down. I'm fine Just feel as if my eyebrows are on fire" he replied.

She giggled at his comment and pointed out nicely that he had no eyebrows making him feel his forehead, as he realised his face turned into a tomato. He had to admit this was the most embarrassing moment in his whole life, especially if front of someone he didn't know but she was really pretty.

"Don't worry they'll grow back soon. I'm Stacey by the way" She held out her hand and he took it instantly.

"Hi I'm Seamus" his Irish accent sent shivers down her spine; she had to admit it was pretty sexy. She blushed a little thinking about it which he saw, awkwardly coughing and quickly thinking of something she said

"So what were you doing?"

"Oh I was trying to turn the water into rum. I tried in many times in first year but it always ended terrible, and now well now there's still no difference." He answered. It was pretty disastrous always; he was always blowing things up.

"Oh, so do you like blowing things up?" She had no idea what she was doing, but she just wanted to keep talking to him. He chuckled at her comment, and oh what a cute chuckle it was.

"Now and then, as it's funny. But when I lose my eyebrows its not all that cool. But it's what I'm excellent at."

They both laughed.

They sat there for ages just talking and laughing. It was the start of a wonderful friendship.

4 years later….

"Oh Stacey, you're so wonderful, so amazing, so lovely, so..."

"What are you after Seamus?" Was all she said. When Seamus starts singing compliments to her, she knows he's after something. He sat down in front of her in the Great Hall watching her as she did her essay, gosh she'd became so beautiful.

Seamus dramatically faked hurt by putting his hand on his chest and throwing his head back. "Why Miss James, what makes you think I was something. Can't I just sing nice things to my best friend?"

She looked up from her essay and giggled at his dramatic state; by god he had grown him such a handsome young man. She hated the fact he was dating someone who was not her.

"No you can't, whats up?" She turned her attention back to her work as she listened to him beg for her to help him do the essay she was doing right now. She loved it when he was like this, because she felt like he actually needed her.

"Okay, okay I'll help. Just please stop begging."

"Stacey, you were sent from heaven. You're a life saver thank you so much" She smiled up at him and turned back to her work, expecting him to get up like him normally would and go and see her. But this time he didn't.

She looked back up at him a little confused.

"Was there something else?" Her question confused him a little.

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"Well normally you would get up and leave to go to Lavender." Was all she replied.

Seamus had to admit he was a little hurt by her reply, but now as he thought about it she was right, after he normally begs her for help on something he would just get up and leave. But for some reason something held him back this time.

"I want to hang with you, is that a crime?"

Oh she had offended him she could see it in his eyes. "Oh Seamus I didn't mean it like that at all. It's just this hasn't happened since you and Lavender started dating."

Seamus and Lavender had been dating for two months and it was crappiest two months of Stacey's life, it was meant to be her who was dating Seamus she's been in love with him for 4 years, and when she finally plucked up the courage to ask him she found out he was with Lavender, that night she sat in her dorm and cried as Hermione and Ginny comforted her.

"I know, sorry I just thought you wanted rid of me"

I'll never want rid of you was all she thought. Instead of answering him she just smiled and finished off her essay.

For the next hour she helped Seamus with his essay as they talked and joked too. It had felt like forever since they'd last done this, it was like part of there now spoiled routine thanks to the wicked witch of the west coming into his life.

Speak of the devil.

She stomped towards them making her self known as she got there, talk about the face of thunder.

"So this is where you have been" she barked.

Seamus turned his attention from his and Stacey's conversation to the girl behind him. "Lav? Whats up?"

"Don't 'Lav' me, I've been waiting for you out side for the past hour" she said in a huff as she stood there and glared at Stacey, He stood up and took her into his arms which Stacey envied so much. "I told you yesterday that I was going to ask Stacey to help me with my essay and that I would catch up with you tonight."

Lavender and Stacey hated each other so much, it was that bad Stacey would rather be friends with Draco Malfoy than her, and that was saying something. "But why her? You can ask anyone in your class. Why does it have to be her" She whispered. Seamus knew of Lavender's dislike for his best friend which he wasn't too happy about. But he wouldn't just forget about her, because his girlfriend isn't her biggest fan. Stacey was a big part of his life.

"Seamus, just go I'll finish this for you." Seamus could hear the hurt in her voice but he could see the jealousy in Lavenders eyes. He turned towards Stacey and bent down to give her a hug, he could feel Lavender burning holes into the back of his head.

"I'm so sorry" he whispered in her ear.

She never wanted him to let go, but when he did she gave him a small smile.

"It's fine" he only just heard her say it she said it so quietly. With that she turned round and focused on his essay as he just stared down at her, he felt terrible to just leave her to do his work. He turned and saw the Lavender had now the biggest smirk on her face now she got what she wanted. She took his hand and led his out the Hall.

"Jealousy is one ugly thing" he muttered.

He never got the chance to turn round to make sure she was okay, meaning he never saw the fact she wasn't, the look of hurt in her eyes and the tears that threatened to spill from it.
