Harry, Seamus, And The Master Plan
By SilverWolf7007
Chapter Fifteen ~ Plotting, Hogsmeade, And Nets
Seamus carried Harry to Remus's office, put him down and pulled the door shut behind them. When he turned around Harry had already changed back, and was grinning at him.
"Well?" he demanded. "Did you find anything useful out?"
Harry laughed. "Oh yes. For one, Blaise and Draco are not a couple."
"Yes!"
"Jason Nott is dating Sarah Moon."
"Really?"
"Draco has a secret cat obsession."
"Hm."
"Blaise likes you."
"I se - WHAT???"
"I said," Harry replied slowly, holding back a grin, "That Blaise likes you."
"Oh my god. And Draco?"
Harry hid a smile and shrugged.
"Harry," Seamus said warningly. "Tell me. Does he like you?"
He nodded. "They're plotting."
"Plotting what?"
Harry smirked. "You'll see. But if Blaise asks for help with homework, be sure to be extra nice."
"So, are you going to meet Draco after dinner?" Seamus asked.
"Yep. Hey, I've got an idea."
"Not another one!"
"Don't complain; it's Plan B back to haunt us. All you have to do is get along with Blaise, and let him know that we're trying to set Ron and Hermione up. I'll tell Draco, and ask for suggestions or help, and then we let them get together with Jason Nott. With the five of us, Ron and Mione don't stand a chance!"
"I have an idea of how to throw the Five off the scent too," Seamus said with a grin. "You gave me the idea just now. We can get Orla Quirke and Owen Caudwell in on the act. Owen's best friends with Eleanor, and Orla gets on pretty well with Stewart. We can get them to feed the Five false information. And of course, we'll have to pay them."
"Y'know, Imp, that might just work. Except for the paying part. Shall we go and find them?"
"No. We're going to Hogsmeade with the others, remember?"
"Oh yeah! Maybe one of us can sneak off and talk to Orla and Owen in Hogsmeade."
"Maybe. C'mon, the others'll think we're making out or something."
"Oh! Seamus, I almost forgot. Watch your back. I mean, Fluffy???" Harry demanded. He left the office, leaving Seamus staring after him. Then, the blond shook his head to clear it and followed, knowing that he'd end up more embarrassed than Ron by the end of the day.
**********************************************
Maddy was in trouble. Serious trouble. 'This is Not Good,' she thought.
Malcolm and Emma were heading in her direction. "Maddy, hi!" Emma said. Malcolm smiled at her, but didn't say anything.
"Hi guys," Maddy replied nervously. "Aren't you going to Hogsmeade?"
"We are," Malcolm answered, "But we thought we'd come talk to you before we left."
"Oh? What about?"
"Well, you know Harry Potter and Seamus Finnigan pretty well, right?" Emma asked.
"Of course I do. Why?"
"Well, we have reason to believe that they might be a couple. Do you know if they are or not?"
"They aren't. I know who Harry has a crush on, too."
"Really?" Emma asked, intrigued. "Who?"
Maddy grinned. "I can't tell you who, Harry made me promise not to tell. Even Seamus doesn't know!"
The other two looked curious, but they didn't pry. They said goodbye, then left.
Maddy knew she had to tell Harry and Seamus, but she'd have to wait until they got back from Hogsmeade.
**************************************************
Hermione, Ron, Dean, Lavender, Parvati, Neville, Ginny and Colin were waiting in the Entrance Hall when Harry stepped in. He walked over to join them, and a minute later Seamus caught up with them. They left the castle and walked towards the town, talking about various unimportant things.
It was about then that Seamus remembered his bet with Remus. "Hey Ron, who was it that turned your hair green?"
"Lavender," the red head answered, glaring at her. "She poured ice cold water coloured green all over me this morning to wake me up."
"Cheer up Ron," Lavender said, stifling a giggle. "Your hair will only be green for a week."
"A week???" he yelped. "Aw man........."
Seamus sighed. "Damn. I owe Professor Lupin five Galleons. I thought it was Dean."
"Poor thing," Harry said sympathetically. "I should have warned you never to bet against Remus. He's too damn smart for his own good!"
They continued to talk as they walked, mostly about pranks and betting.
Once they reached Hogsmeade, they stopped to discuss the day.
"Ginny and I were going to look at owls," Lavender said.
"I'm heading for Zonko's," Colin, Ron, Dean and Seamus said together.
"I need a new quill," Parvati supplied. "Want to come, Hermione?"
"Sure."
"Where are you going, Harry?" Ron asked.
"Honeydukes," he answered. "I need some chocolate. And sugar quills."
"How about we meet at the Three Broomsticks for lunch at one?" Dean suggested. They all agreed and went their separate ways.
Harry stepped into Honeydukes, chose his selection of sweets and payed for them, before leaving the shop and heading for the Shrieking Shack, where he'd seen Orla and Owen heading when they'd arrived.
He walked up behind them to hear that they were discussing the ghosts that were said to haunt it. "It was never any ghosts," he said by way of greeting.
They turned to stare at him. "Then what WAS it, Harry?" Orla demanded.
"A werewolf."
"Professor Lupin when he was a student?" Owen guessed.
Harry nodded. "Yep. D'you two want to do me a favour?"
Orla grinned. "Of course. We'd do anything for you, Harry. You're our big brother, remember?"
"I do. By now I'm sure that you both know that the Five are investigating me and Seamus?"
"To find out if you're a couple," Owen confirmed. "What do you want us to tell them?"
Harry looked at the two kids he'd 'adopted' as siblings carefully. "I want you to throw them off the scent. Invent rumours about one of us and a random girl, or say that you heard that one of us was interested in a particular girl. Whatever it takes."
They both grinned at him. "Sure thing," they answered.
*****************************************************
Sam glared at Sirius. "I hate you."
He glared back. "That's good, 'cause I hate you too."
"This is all your fault."
"What?" he snapped. "No Samantha, this is YOUR fault!"
"Is not!"
"Is too!"
"Is not!"
"Is too!"
"Is not!"
"Is too!"
"Is not!"
"Is too!"
"Is not!"
"Is too!"
"Is not!"
"Is too!"
"Is not!"
"Is too!"
"Is not!"
"Is too!"
"Quit denying it Samantha, you know the truth!"
"Don't you try to blame me!"
They fell silent for a while, glaring at each other.
Samantha and Sirius had been sent by Dumbledore to use their Animagus forms to spy on Death Eater meetings.
Unfortunately, Voldemort had become somewhat paranoid about spies after he'd caught Snape out, and there were traps everywhere.
One of these was a net.
This explains why Sirius and Samantha were hanging ten feet above the ground in a net, without their wands (which had fallen to the ground when they'd been caught.
"I hate you," Sirius told her.
******************************************************
The Hogsmeade visit had flown by, and Harry, Seamus, Dean, Neville, Hermione, Colin, Lavender, Parvati and Ginny were currently staring in horror at Ron, who was eating a disgustingly large amount of food in a rather uncivilised manner.
"It's unreal," Dean commented. He turned to Ginny. "Does he eat like this in front of your mother?"
Ginny shook her head, looking nauseated. "No, he doesn't. Mum'd kill him."
"Maybe you should write and tell her," Neville suggested.
"Not a bad idea," Ginny mused. "She'd have a fit."
"Gin, that's NOT a good idea," Harry argued. "Then your mum would come here to Hogwarts and sit at the Gryffindor table and watch Ron to make sure he was minding his manners. Then we'd ALL have to be careful of what we say and how we eat. Do you really want that?"
Ginny shuddered. "No, I don't. It's okay Harry; you've changed my mind about it. I won't write to her, if only for the rest of us."
Hermione sighed in relief. "For a minute Gin, I thought you were going to actually go through with it!"
Seamus leaned over to whisper in Harry's ear. "You might want to go meet Draco now. He seems to have finished eating and is waiting for you."
Glancing over at the Slytherin Table, Harry confirmed this and stood up. "I think I'm going to end my dining experience with Ron now. I'm going to the library."
The others, who were still eating, just nodded and waved.
Harry noticed Draco get up and leave as he did, and walked towards the library.
Once he was there, he picked a table as far away from Madam Pince as he could and sat down. A minute later Draco walked in and sat down across from him.
