I am so so so so sorry that I haven't uploaded in awhile. I've just been really busy. I have a couple of announcements that you will find at the bottom of this page AFTER you read the chapter. No peeking! I will know if you peek. Susie, stop peeking!

I do not own HP or any of the characters.

Taco Night!

Dean POV:

I don't know if you've ever been on a golf cart, but if you haven't, it's really bumpy, especially if you're going fast. Well, I was driving fast, because we only had 10 minutes until dinner started and we still had to put our stuff in our trailer. Jeff's office is in the center of camp, with the trailers on one end of camp and the dining hall on the other.

We arrived at the trailer in about 3 minutes. I parked the cart and we went inside. When you walk inside the trailer, there's a rocking chair right next to the door and a pull-out couch across from it. To the left, there's the kitchen on one side and a table on the other. There were also several pictures of me, usually with Seamus, but some with my parents and sister.

We quickly set our stuff down on the table, grabbed our flashlights, and walked down to the dining hall. Seamus wanted to drive back down in the golf cart, but I know from experience that after dinner, it gets really dark and I won't be able to see where I'm going.

We got to the dining hall, right as it was being opened. The dining hall is set up like a cafeteria. You put food on your plate and find an open seat at one of the many circular tables. table. They also had hot chocolate, coffee, juice, and a soda machine.

We got our food and sat down at one of the staff tables, since we were volunteers. It was taco night, so they had tortillas and shells. Then they had pork, chicken, and beef, as well as, various vegetables and cheeses for tacos. I made two normal tacos, while Seamus piled a bunch of meat and cheese on some tortillas, completely skipping over the vegetables. I sighed and put extra salad on my plate.

The staff table that we sat at had Chad to my left, Kaylin, Alex and Jessica to Seamus' right. Once we sat down, Seamus looked at me and I shook my head slightly. He looked a little upset, but followed my request to not eat yet.

"Hi Dean," Alex broke the ice, "Who's your friend?"

"My name is Seamus," Seamus responded, reaching his hand across the table and he shook it.

"My name's Alex," he introduced, "and this is my cousin, Jessica. She's a little shy." Jessica nodded to Seamus in acknowledgement and he beamed at her.

"My name's Chad, and this is Kaylin," Chad broke in.

"Brilliant to meet you both," Seamus replied happily. He always loved meeting new people.

Seamus then looked at me again. I inconspicuously nodded my head and Seamus began eating.

I turned back towards my plate and caught Alex's eye. He had a suspicious smile on his lips. I guess I wasn't as subtle as I thought.

"So what do you guys do here?" We had been eating in silence for about five minutes, when Seamus seemed to finally snap from the silence. Seamus lived for noise and chaos.

"Well, Chad and I work here full time. We run the stables," Kaylin answered.

"And we're secondary school volunteers like you and Dean," Jessica said quietly. She seemed to be slightly more comfortable around Seamus now.

"So, are you out of school then?" Seamus questioned Chad and Kaylin.

"Well," Kaylin started, "I'm getting my bachelors degree in animal science and Chad just graduated with his."

"That's cool," Seamus said, "I don't know what I want to be."

"Well, I'm sure you'll figure it out," Kaylin said kindly.

By then Seamu had finished his "tacos" and was about to get up and get more, when I stopped him. I scooped some salad from my plate onto his.

"Eat," I commanded, "You need your vegetables."

He scowled, but I could see the mischief in his eyes.

"Who are you, my mother?" he questioned.

I mimicked his expression and replied, "No, but she would kill me if all you ate here was meat and cheese and I would rather not get on her bad side. She could be scary." Everyone laughed.

He grumbled halfheartedly, but ate the salad.

Desert came out shortly. Tonight it was double chocolate chunk cookies. Seamus tried to grab five, but I snached two of them out of his hands.

"Don't forget to come to the stable directly after breakfast tomorrow morning," Kaylin reminded me.

"See you then," I replied and Seamus and I left.

I have a new beta reader. She's my best friend in real life, so she's very trustworthy. Also, am now a beta reader. I hope you enjoyed it! Please R&R.
