A/N: Not sure if this was the proper character for such a piece…but I like it. The title is also from Shakespeare. Yeah. I've been becoming a Shakespeare fangirl lately.
Warnings: Dark-ish?
Disclaimer: Me? Own something?
Summary: hp100 challenge: send in the clowns. Dost thou know the difference, my boy, between a bitter fool and a sweet fool? (from King Lear, by Shakespeare)
Too many people considered him a clown, laughing even when he was being dead serious. Of course he had attempted to get the proper attention from his housemates—let them know what they were doing to him, how desperate he was for someone to let him be himself. But not even Dean would listen to him. So when Malfoy approached him in something akin to understanding, he agreed immediately. If Voldemort was the only person capable of believing in him, he would turn from his peers. Proud as Seamus was at his inception, all he wore was his expressionless mask.
