Darlings,
With all the curent happenings, I've been neglecting my grades. I have several projects and exams coming up. Eek! I also have way too many thoughts in my head.
Please, give me a week to get all my work completed and my thoughts sorted out. Your kind words make me reluctant to stop posting but I really need to do this. I hope you understand.
P.S. I'm terribly sorry for all you addicts, I didn't mean to get you hooked, honestly! ^-^
Thank you to Sophia, do you really care?!, Cimirone, Zoe, Wyv, Bel and Druss (multiperson reviews are great!), karina305, C.A., Fleur, Cat Samwise, Kate (aka Yama Luvr), Amo Draconem!, Lizzy Potter, LunarBard, Emily, Marisa, maidmarian62, Prongs, (: alex:), AVK, Bean, Padfoot Lover, Tom Riddilpley, Mystica, Bella, Tani, Lindsay Beth, Rehanna, Glace de Slytherin (are you feeling okay? I'm starting to worry...), Dreamer, and Lelio (sorry, dear.)

Seamus was the first to admit that he wasn't exactly the most observant person in the world, but he knew something was up. He hadn't been quietly obsessing over Draco Malfoy for the past two years for nothing. He noticed that the object of his lust-crush was more thoughtful than usual. He was more subdued. This was a mystery and Seamus didn't like mysteries.
He met Draco as he was leaving the library. Seamus blocked the doorway. Draco looked up tiredly. "Move, Finnegan." Seamus's eyes widened in surprise. He had expected Draco to sound a bit more defensive and less- well, defeated.
"Why so down, Malfoy?"
"None of your business."
"True, but I want to know anyway."
"I'd have to be crazy to tell you anything."
"Why do I keep getting that reaction?"
"Maybe because no one wants their business spread all over school."
"That is such an unjustly deserved remark. Just because I talk alot-"
"Try constantly."
"Does not mean that I tell secrets," Seamus continued.
"Bully for you. Would you like a cookie?" Draco asked dryly.
"No, thank you. I just ate," Seamus replied, ignoring the sarcasm.
"Did you and Harry have a lover's quarrel?" he asked quietly. Draco was about to laugh and find another way out, but there was an earnestness in those turquoise eyes that stopped him
"How do you know about that?" he asked.
"Please, you two are the things that go hump in the night. I nearly failed Potions from lack of sleep due to Harry's 'nightmares.'" Draco smiled at the recollection of that old joke.
"We didn't have a quarrel. We broke up."
"I'm sorry. I know I didn't hear that right. What did you say?"
"We broke up. I'm surprised you didn't know," Draco replied. Seamus gaped. He blinked several times.
"Okay, one more time."
"Harry and I broke up. We're no longer romantically involved. We're quits. We're over. Stick a fork in us;we're done. Get the picture?"
"No. How can you be over?"
"It's people like you that give blondes a bad name."
"Excuse me for not understanding how a couple that was so bloody sweet is suddenly nonexistent."
"You're excused. Can I go now?"
Seamus ran his fingers through his hair.
"Yeah," he sighed. He moved out of the doorway. Draco hurried past him and Seamus sat down to think for a long while. Neither of them noticed that someone else had overheard them.

I know this chapter sucked and it was short, but I needed to get this out. I have tentative plans for multiple Seamus pairings. Remus and Sirius won't show up for a whuile, unless I figure out a way to get them in here prematurely. So, who overheard them? Review! Until next week.
Love
J. Silver
