Prompt – Characters are trying to keep their relationship a secret but they accidentally kiss as one walks away from their friends, so now they're kissing everyone else too.
Harry doubted he'd ever laughed so hard. It had been a great idea, catching up with his oldest and dearest friends, and it was nearly two years since the battle, so the guilt that sometimes popped up when one laughed or felt happy was subsiding.
They'd agreed to meet at the Leaky Cauldron, with Hannah Abbot working there and just finishing up her shift. Neville had just announced that they were moving in together and everyone – he and Ginny, Ron and Hermione, Dean and Seamus, were all very happy for the couple.
"Oy, Dean has an announcement too," cried Seamus, nudging his best friend.
All eyes turned to Dean.
"I'm moving to Paris, been offered a, well, kind of scholarship. I'll be working with a mentor, she has a studio and – "
"She loves Dean's art and there's talk of a possible exhibition," finished Seamus, excitedly.
"Oh my God, that's amazing, Dean," said Ginny, raising her glass, and everyone copied. "To Dean!"
"To Dean!" they all cried, clinking glasses together.
"That's not all," smiled Dean. "Shay is coming with me."
"What?" All eyes now turned to Seamus, who pinked.
"Yeah, I wanted to see some of the world before I settle down, running me ma's pub," he told them. "Paris seemed a good place to start."
"Shit, speaking of Paris, I need to go pick up our tickets," remembered Dean. "Sorry guys, but I need to go."
They all stood to say goodbye when, to their great surprise, Dean kissed Seamus fully on the lips.
There was a deady silence.
Seamus blushed even further. Dean tried to take it in his stride, moving over to Neville.
"Bye Nev," he said, before planting his lips on Neville.
Next to him, Hannah squeaked her surprise.
Releasing Neville, Dean squared his shoulders and moved on to Harry and Ginny.
"Forget it," said Ginny, holding up her hand.
"Harry," said Dean, by passing his ex girlfrien as he bent to kiss his dorm mate on the lips. Harry's eyes, already wide from watching Dean kiss Neville, widened even further.
"Oy, that's my best mate," bellowed Ron, and Dean broke away from Harry.
He locked eyes with Ron, who gulped. As Dean headed for him, Ron pulled Hermione in front of him, and waved his goodbye.
"Sayonara," he said.
"Ron, that's Japanese," corrected Hermione. "You meant to say 'au revoir', you've heard Fleur say it all the time."
"Right, what she said," nodded Ron to Dean.
Dean chuckled. "It's fine. Take care guys, if you're ever in Paris..."
"I'll see you later," called Seamus, as Dean left.
They all sat back down and resumed their drinks. Harry and Neville still felt a bit embarassed by the kiss and didn't know where to look, but then Ginny shouted –
"Oh my God, you and Dean," she yelled, pointing at Seamus.
Seamus calmly scolled his drink.
"What do you mean, Ginny?" asked Hannah, looking between the two..
"Him and Dean, they're doing it!" she yelled in triumph.
"A little louder, Ginny, Macgonagall in Scotland didn't hear ye," scoffed Seamus, "and we're not doing it, we're in a relationship. I – I love him."
"Awww," sighed Hannah, Ginny and Hermione.
"He's a pretty good kisser," noted Harry without thinking. He then looked startled by what he said.
"You're loads better," assured Ginny.
"Agree to disagree, Ginny," winked Seamus.
