****READ THIS BEFORE READING THE CHAPTER PLEASE****

SO I decided to try something just a smidge bit different. I decided to do this chapter in someone else's POV because it just came to me and it fit in better than if I were to just do another one-shot like I did with my Ron/Luna chapter a few back. I made it into it's own story which if you like that pairing you might wanna check out:). ANYWAY you'll find out who's POV this chapter is in when you read it.(Like I would really give anything away ;) come on guys really?) R&R pretty please:).

Disclaimer: I do not own anything except for the lovely new ipod I just bought ;).

Enjoy!

I watched from across the common room as she bickered with Ron again. I always watched when they bickered. She was beautiful when she was mad. Dean told me I should just forget about her, she was engaged, but I just couldn't. She was beautiful and smart. Not to mention she had a wicked sense of humor when she wasn't worrying about school work.

They finally stopped bickering. Ron soon left to go to bed so it was just the two of us left in the common room since everyone else was asleep at this late hour. Only reason I was up was because I had to finish Snape's essay by morning or he'd give me detention. Couldn't fathom why she was still up. She normally had all her work done months in advance.

Curiosity got the best of me so decided to go over and sit with her to see what she was doing. She looked up at me as I sat down.

"Oh, hey Seamus," she said smiling at me. Bloody hell she had an amazing smile. "I didn't know anyone else was up this late."

"Yeah, I had to finish Snape's essay," I said. Despite my annoyance at the greasy git I couldn't help but smile back at her, her smile was just contagious.

"Oh, well I could help you a bit, I finished mine last week," she said closing the book she had been reading.

"What? You're only a week ahead? I thought by now you'd have at least next September's work done," I teased.

She laughed. Oh Merlin did I love her laugh.

"Well I'm a little behind this year," she said taking the parchment out of my hands to look at it.

"You don't have to do that," I said. "I'm almost done with it. You can go back to your reading."

"It's alright, I needed a break from reading anyway."

"You needed a break from reading? Are you feeling alright?"

"Ha ha."

"That was pretty funny wasn't it?"

"Hilarious. I'm in stitches, Seamus."

"So how's the essay?"

"Pretty good actually, you just need to finish it."

"I'll finish it in the morning, I'm too tired to think anymore."

"I know what you mean."

"You're willingly staying up late to read though."

"Not necessarily willingly, I'm doing research."

"Research for what?"

"Just something Harry asked me to look up."

We fell into a comfortable silence, she had picked up her book again and I was just staring into the dwindling fire.

"So, Hermione?" I asked testing out my Gryffindor courage.

"Yeah?" she said without looking up.

"You going to Hogsmeade this weekend?" I asked a bit braver, maybe she would say yes.

"Yes, Fred said he was going to have Lee cover for him at the shop so he could come visit for a while," she said finally looking up smiling.

"Oh, t-that's great," I faltered. I knew she was with Fred but I didn't stop to think he might actually come visit his fiance, bloody hell I was an idiot.

"Are you going?" she asked ignoring my falter.

"I don't know," I said. "Dean's going with Ginny and I don't really fancy going alone."

"Harry and Ron are going, maybe you could go with them," she suggested. "Or you could ask Lavender."

I shook my head. "Lavender fancies Ron, she'd turn me down."

"Ron would never go out with Lavender," she chuckled. "He fancies someone else, even if he doesn't want to admit it."

"Oh really?" I asked curiously. "Who?"

"I'm not telling."

"Oi, what's with all the secrets tonight? 'Something Harry asked me to research.' 'Ron fancies someone but I'm not telling who.'"

"What's with all the questions tonight, eh?"

"Good point."

"I think it's time for you to go to bed, Seamus."

"Why? I'm f-f-f-fi-ine," I yawned. Maybe she was right. Bloody hell, who was I kidding, she's always right.

"Yeah, and I'm Umbridge," she said rolling her eyes. "If you want to have time to finish that essay in the morning you better get to bed now."

"Alright mum," he joked. "I'll see you in the morning then. Night."

"G'night," she said returning to her book.

Merlin, I had it bad for someone who was in love with another bloke. What the boodly hell was I going to do?

Ahh short I know, but this will now lead into more conflict and perhaps a jealous Fred in the near future? I know how much all of you would enjoy that ;) Like I said, this just fit better into the story as Seamus' POV than anyone else's. Hope you guys liked it!:). Review!
