TheShards of his Heart

Chapter Three,

Seamus was on his fourth pint and was getting rather...tipsy. He was hugging anyone in sight, mostly Paddy's friends who were also regular visitors to the pub. When he went to hug the poliecemen on patrol Paddy quickly dragged him away, his mum would be pleased if he got Seamus arrested on his first day home. Paddy decided the time was right for interogation.

"So who are these two people you've fallen in love with?" he asked seamus who looked up from his pint.

"H-Harry Potted, no Potter and Dra-hic-Draco Malfeee...Malfoy," Seamus mumbled, drinking deeply again from his glass. "Have I told you lately how-how-what was I saying?"

"You were going to tell me what they were like."

"Right, well Harry's the saviour of the world an-an he kisses really good, he's nice and funny...and he's the saviour of the wizdin-wizarding world too. Draco was kinda his enemy and a wanker but he's relly relly sexy and he k-k-kisses good too, but in a more like p-passion-passionatey way. It's nice," Seamus admitted drunkenly. Paddy smiled sadly, poor Seamus, he really needed both of these men. But if Paddy knew Seamus, as long as they were happy-he'd pretend to be happy too.

1 Year Later,

Seamus laughed with his friends as they sat at the check-out's of the local co-op, his number two job. He had three, the co-op one, monday to friday, 8:00am to 5:00pm. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday night's he bar tended at the local pub and his last job was stacking boxes in a warehouse on Saturdays, 5:00am to 6:00pm. Basically he was working himself as hard as he could so that he wouldn't have time to think of magic, Harry or Draco who were one of the most famous gay couple's in the wixarding world.

"That'll be £20 and 57p please," Seamus said as he finnished ringing up the woman's shopping. He took the two notes she offered, gave her the change and said cheerfully "Have a nice day." He went back to talk with Conner on the till connected to his waiting for another customer. When they came he looked up to smile at them and gasped. "Dean?"

"Seamus? God I haven't seen you in ages!" Dean said happily, having not recognised his friend at first. Seamus started to run the bar codes of the things past the 'beep' thing.

"I know, how are you Dean and what the hell are you doing in Ireland?" Seamus asked. This was the only person in the wizarding world he knew talk to without feeling a great sense of loss.

"Business trip. I've been sent out here to draw," Dean said happily.

"Where are you staying?" Seamus asked as he took Dean credit card and wrang it up.

"I've got a room at The Lion Tamer," Dean said as he put his shopping into the carrier bags.

"I bar tend there 3 nights a week," Seamus said waiting for the receipt to be printed out. Once it was he ripped it off and handed it with a pen for Dean to sign it with.

"We can catch up then," Dean said happily handing back the receipt. Seamus printed out the last receipt.

"Here's your chagne and your receipt. See you Friday night at 8:00 at the bar," Seamus said casually. He didn't even watch Dean walk away, just started 'beeping' his next customer's things.

"Almost late Seamus," the pub owner commented with a grin on his face as Seamus arrived just as the clocked struck 6:00pm.

"As ever," Seamus shurgged off his coat revealling his tight shirt and jeans. "I'll get to work." He went behind the bar and releived Tracy, the day barmaid who gave him a peck on the cheek before disapearing. Seamus was immediatly in the part of flirty bar tender and got people their drinks in record time. He didn't notice it was 8:00pm until Dean sat down at the bar. "Hey Dean, what can I get ya?"

"Er, Coca-Cola," Dean said quietly.

"Non-alcoholic?" someone next to him laughed.

"It's not a crime you know," Seamus protested. He knew Dean was a non-alcoholic because he would never join in with all the drinking at parties. He opened a bottle of coke and put it infront of his friend. "So how's it going for you Dean?"

"I'm a junior artist for the magazine," Dean smiled, watching Seamus easily getting people their drinks. "I do pictures of people while they have interviews done. We interviewd Harry and Draco last month," Dean was 'testing the waters' about the subject.

"Really? That's nice...have a girlfriend yet?" Seamus avoided the subject almost immediatly.

"No not yet," Dean said, pretending not to have noticed the switch. They talk until midnight, closing time. When Draco and harry were mentioned Seamus immediatly changed the subject. He deffinatly wasn't over them like they were over him. Dean actually had a mind to owl Draco and harry and tell them this...but if Seamus found out he'd probably kill him. "Will you be here tomorrow?"

"Yes," Seamus said as he wiped the bar with a cloth.

"Would you mind if I drew you?" Dean asked.

"Nah, go ahead, but tomorow. I've gotta get going or I'll be locked out of the boarding house," Seamus laughed and pulled on his coat and grabbed his bag."
