Tick Tock, Tick Tock, Ding.
Lunch. It was the one thing that Seamus hated. He had hated it every since he arrived at Hogwarts. Not because he didn't like the food, he hated it because of how busy it was. He thought that it was stupid, he thought that hating lunch because it was busy was just pathetic, at first.
Seamus hated it when students would come storming down the staircases and charge into the Great Hall. He hated how he always got trampled by the the older kids. He hated how there was nowhere to sit, and he really hated how he had to eat in the toilets because of it.
He would sit in a cubicle, alone, every lunch and eat whatever sandwiches he had taken from the Great Hall. Sometimes he would even cry, sometimes he wouldn't. Seamus couldn't help but think that this meant his social life was over.
Knock, Knock.
The cubicle door shook, as he heard the knock. Seamus, whilst crying, opened up the cubicle door.
"Hi," A small boy mumbled. "Do you mind if I eat in here with you?"
Seamus smiled, wiping away tears from his face, gesturing towards the cubicle. He invited the boy in. He thought that maybe he was wrong, maybe his social life wasn't over. This boy may betray him and make fun of him. But, for once, Seamus was happy and he wouldn't trade that for anything
Thanks again to Verity (Verity Graham's) for betaing :)
