Playing With Emotions
~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~ Dean stormed into the boys' dormitories. Seamus turned his attention to the door, where his best friend just entered and slammed shut. "Problems with Lavender?" He asked Dean, finally looking back to his work.
"I just don't understand her! She acts all flirty one minute, then I go to kiss her and she gets cold. Girls, I'll never understand them!" He flung onto his bed, landing on his back.
"Maybe she's just shy?" He closed his books and looked up at his friend.
"No, I don't think so. She's always flirting with the guys." Dean mumbled into his pillow.
'Every guy, except me.' Seamus thought to himself. "Do you want me to talk to her?"
Dean sat up and turned to him. "Would you do that?"
"Yeah, sure." Seamus put his books on the floor and stood up. He straightened his robes and walked across the room. He opened the door and heard Dean call from inside, "Thanks mate!"
He shut the door behind him and started down the stairs towards the common room. Jumping off of the last step, Seamus scanned the room looking for Dean's newest crush.
Finally spotting her sitting by Parvati, he walked to her. He sat down next to the girl on the couch and turned to Parvati. "Can I speak with Lavender alone?" The girl nodded and left the couch.
"Dean sent you, right?" Lavender asked without looking up.
"Yes. He wanted me to ask you something."
"Look, Seamus. I really don't feel like talking about this, alright?"
Seamus nodded and got up off the couch. "You know if you just want to talk to someone, I won't tell Dean." He turned to leave the room.
"Wait, Seamus!" she called after him. He turned around and looked at her. "Can we go somewhere to be alone?"
He smiled and walked over to the couch, pulling her up by the hand she offered. The two walked to the portrait hole and left the room. Lavender walked down the hall quietly next to Seamus, looking down she noticed their hands were still linked and she pulled her own away.
"Sorry." Seamus said slightly disappointed. She nodded her head. Seamus pushed open the wide doors leading outside, holding it open for the lady. She smiled and walked outside.
He leaded her out to the stands of the quidditch pitch, and she obliged by climbing into one of the seats. He followed and sat down next to her. She turned to look at him. "How much do you know about what happened today?"
"Dean told me that everything was fine until he tried to kiss you."
"Right. Um. It's not that I don't like him. It's just that. Oh I can't say it."
"I'm not going to laugh at you. Just tell me."
"Okay." She drew a deep breath and looked him in the eyes. "I've never actually kissed someone before."
"That's it? That's what you were embarrassed about?" Seamus laughed.
She slugged him in the chest. "You said you wouldn't laugh!" she looked away.
"Hey." He put his hand on the side of her face, forcing her to look at him. "I didn't mean to laugh. It's just that I don't think it's a big deal. Just do it, and get it over with."
"I can't just do it and get it over with. What if I mess up?"
He laughed again. "I don't think you actually can mess up a kiss, Lav." He said finally removing his hand from her face.
"I don't know how to kiss!"
"It's not that hard. Just close your eyes and let it happen. It's not a hard thing to do."
"Can you show me?"
"What?"
"Show me how to kiss."
Seamus smiled and leaned in towards her. Her hand stopped his face before he could kiss her. "Not on me."
"Then on who?" Seamus was slightly mad at her. He was beginning to see why Dean came back so angry earlier.
"I don't know." She looked around for someone. No one else was around outside. "Use you hand."
Seamus raised his eyebrow. "Are you serious?"
"Yes. Go ahead."
He looked at her again. She was completely serious, and he was completely pissed off. He jumped up and looked down at her. "Let me know when you're serious. Then we'll talk." He turned and ran down the steps, jogging back into the castle.
~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~
Seamus hurried through the portrait hole. He knew Lavender was trying to catch up with him. He needed time to cool off, before she talked to him again. Maybe by then she'd come back to her senses.
He hurried up the stairs and opened the door to the dorm. He slammed it shut and stomped over to his bed. "Seamus, what happened?"
"I don't want to talk about it."
"Did you talk to her?"
"I said I don't want to talk about it." He pulled the curtains around his bed and closed his eyes, trying to sleep. He felt bad for yelling at Dean. "Ask me tomorrow."
"Okay. Good night." Dean returned to his bed, and Seamus saw him turn his light off.
