Seamus climbed the stairs to his dorm. It was almost 12:00 AM and his roommates had been to long before he had gotten back. He quickly changed into his pajamas. His lucky ones. If he were lucky, Parvati would never ask him out again.
He climbed under his sheets, and closed his eyes. He tossed and turned, trying to get to sleep. Finally tired of trying he climbed back out of his bed.
Seamus quietly snuck into the common room and sat in front of the fire. He stretched out his arms and legs and lay flat on his stomach, staring into the dancing flames. His eyes began to get heavy, as he lay his chin onto his arms.
He blinked a few times and felt his eyes close. "Seamus?" He reopened his eyes and peered over his shoulder.
"I was looking for you." Lavender said lying next to him. "How'd your date go?"
He shrugged his shoulders and yawned. "Okay."
"Okay? You should hear Parvati. I had to leave the room; she was talking so much. So, did you kiss her?"
"No."
"No? Why not?"
"I didn't want to." He turned his attention back to the fire.
"Why? Don't you think she's pretty?"
Seamus sighed. "She's pretty. I just don't like her like that."
"Oh. If you don't mind me asking, who do you like?"
His cheeks grew hot, and he looked away so that she wouldn't see him blush. "No one."
"Fine. If you don't want to tell me. The reason I came down here was to work out our deal."
He looked back at her. "Okay. When do we start?"
"Um." She looked into the fire. "How about now?"
The corners of Seamus' mouth tugged upwards, forming a small smile. "Alright."
She sat up and crossed her legs. Seamus followed her actions and situated himself across from her. He leaned forward, pursing his lips into a kiss. "No wait."
"What?" Seamus asked leaning back.
"I'm afraid."
"Afraid of what?"
"I don't know. Don't make fun of me."
He shook his head at her. "I'm not going to. Now, are you ready?"
She nodded her head and he leaned forward again. "No, wait."
"What now?" He leaned back again. He folded his arms across his chest.
"Sorry. Could we try something else?"
"There aren't many different ways to kiss, Lavender."
She sighed and looked down. "I know. There has to be some way to warm up to this though."
Seamus stretched his legs out in front of him. He thought for a few minutes before he sprang forward. "Here." He leaned forward and kissed her cheek. She blushed and looked at him. "That wasn't so bad. Now you do it."
"Do what?" She tucked her legs underneath her.
"You kiss my cheek. Don't worry."
She wrinkled her nose. "I can't do that."
"If you don't do this, you're never going to have enough guts to really kiss someone."
"I know."
"There's no way to mess up something as simple as this. Now go ahead."
She leaned forward a bit and paused. "I can't."
"I'll close my eyes so that you don't feel like I'm watching you." He closed his eyes tight, and heard her lean forward again. Seamus opened his eye, and peeked down as he felt her warm lips press against his hot cheeks.
She quickly backed away. "There." She smiled. "I did it."
"Good. Do you want to try something else?" He asked hopefully.
"No. Not tonight. I'm kind of tired. I'll talk to you tomorrow." She got up and turned back to him," Good Night."
Seamus smiled. "'Night." After she was gone, he got up and went to his room.
