Chapter 2- It's All For The Best
I woke up refreshed and my mind was at ease. I stared at my clock to check the time, and I briefly glanced at the picture next to it. It was one of Seamus who was smiling happily back at me. That was when all the past events of the day came flooding back. The betrayal, and of course that regrettable encounter with Padma. I was feeling really down, if the gossip network was up to it's usual standards, the whole school would have probably known by now. Luckily, it would be hard for them to connect Evanthe's sister to me. Most of them have probably never seen me, another benefit of being unnoticeable.
I made my way down to the Great Hall for breakfast, regretting every step. I took a deep breath, trying not to let my anger get the best of me, but too late. As soon as I came in whom did I have the fortune see? Evanthe, not just by her self, but she was talking to Seamus. When she saw me, she smirked, and left. Seamus turned to me and waved, his face was slowly turning red. As I walked over to give him a piece of my mind, people were shooting me looks of pity.
"Hi," he said rather nervously as I stood next to him.
Ignoring his salutation, I immediately said, "Where were you at four this morning?"
That didn't seem to surprise him, he must have been going through this possible incident in his head, "Sleeping," he answered unconvincingly.
"Sleeping my arse," I said, "I saw you!"
"Saw me sleeping?" he asked innocently.
"Guess again," I said coldly.
"Out on the grounds?"
I slowly nodded my head.
"Listen the rumors aren't true, I wasn't doing anything wrong."
"Usually rumors have some accurate basis to them." I shot back.
"Not in this case."
"So are you suggesting I'm blind, Seamus? Let me guess, everything I saw was just a hallucination."
"No, I'm just suggesting that you're overreacting." Seamus replied dimly. Even his friend seated next to him, the famous do-gooder Harry Potter, snorted at that weak retort.
"Overreacting? You were cheating on me, not with just any one, but my own sister, and you say I'm overreacting?" I yelled rather loudly.
Seamus looked mad, "It was just a kiss!"
"Just a kiss?" I repeated incredulously.
"That's right, it meant nothing." He said.
"Well it means something to me, it means our relationship is over." Okay, maybe now I was overreacting just a tiny bit, but my trust doesn't come easily, and he just stopped earning it.
"What, you're lying!" he exclaimed. How could he not expect that after what he did?
"No I was just kidding, I'm going to worship you for snogging my sister." I said sarcastically.
"Would you?" he asked, hopefully. What did I ever see in that mindless womanizer?
"No, you idiot, I just said it was over."
"Yes, but you're still angry, let's wait until you calm down enough to think rationally, and then we can discuss the future of our relationship." He replied, trying to placate me.
"I am thinking rationally! See Seamus, this is how relationships work, if the boy remains faithful to the girl, everything is fine, but IF he decides to betray the girl, especially with someone of her kin, the girl will break up with the offending traitor." I was seething at this point.
"Calm down! It's not like I impregnated another girl!" My eyes were bulging out in shock at this point.
"I didn't," Seamus said defending his honor.
"Well good for you, nevertheless, you still cheated, and I can't ignore that."
"But…"
I interrupted, "It's over, Seamus this conversation has gone on long enough, but you can't stop it."
"Please give me another chance, your sister was trying to seduce me."
"It worked didn't it, if you had any respect for our relationship, she wouldn't have been able to."
Seamus stared after me as I walked away. I was expecting him to let me break up with him without any trouble, but our encounter was quite the opposite. Then again, he was probably trying not to make him seem unworthy of any girl's affection in the future. In the end the break up was all for the best, for the both of us.
I'm sorry, yes another short chapter, but next chapter has flashbacks, and I will try to make it a lot longer! I hope that will make up for the shorter ones. Oh yeah, thank you Freya Racinna and JoeDaSpartan06 for your lovely reviews! It's nice to see that people like my story.
