Death Valley Queen- Flogging Molly- Seamus/Parvarti

I remember you well, from that town you did dwell

With a face of an angel in a dump hot as hell

When I asked for kiss, you kindly dismissed, so I left my poor heart to the slaughter.

Tell me dear, what did you fear?

I met Parvarti on the first day at Hogwarts, here I was a poor Irish boy in need of an adventure, and she was a dainty Indian princess. How could I ever have her? I knew there must be some way.

"Hey Parvarti, look at this!"

"Seamus Finngean, attatching mistletoe to your head is so unbecoming." She scoffed.

"Come on love, just a little kiss?"
"forget it."

Now here I was at the New Years ball, 7 years later, bored as ever, still waiting for her.

I decided on a stroll outside, just to clear my head. The Great Hall was starting to smell of sweat and punch, and it was way too warm for my tastes. I look up at the moon and sigh.

"Oi, will you go to the ball with me?" I ask softly as I pass Lavender in the hall.

"Seamus, we both know you're heart only sees Parvarti, why are you asking me?"

"She asked a Ravenclaw."

"Then why do you want to go?"
my eyes plead with her.

"This may be the only chance I have to prove that I really love her and that I really care."

So there I was with Lavender as my date. She looked stunning in her light blue robes, but no one came close to Parvarti. Her deep crimson robes hugged her in all the right places, and looked ravishing. I wanted, no, needed her to be mine. I almost felt like I had no chance, just by looking at her.

I dance for a while, but I really can't get into the music. All I can see is Parvarti and that Ravenclaw laugh and dance like there's no tomorrow. My blood boils, I need to cool off.

I can hear everyone start cheering as the New Year slowly approaches.

I hear a light cough and jump. I look over to the side and there I spot the girl my heart's being pining for.

I walk over and sit next to her on the ancient stone bench.

"Hey" I say softly as I sit down.

"Hey" she chokes out. Her eyes were red, and fresh tears were still falling down her face, but admit all of that, she was beautiful.

"Not having a good night?"

"Terrible" she says and wipes her eyes as new tears start to fall.

"Tell me all about it." I say softly smiling and placing my hand on hers.

"I asked Terry Boot to the dance, because I had no one else to go with, and cause he knew Padma and everything. I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to get over this guy I really like."

My heart flutters and plummets at the same time. Could it be me?

"So why are you crying?"
"It didn't work"

I squeeze her hand.

"I'm sure you'll have another chance."

"I'm such a coward, I'll never get another chance."

"Why?"
"Lavender already got him."
My eyes shoot up to the Great Hall. I spot Lavender right away, not with a guy, but with Hermione and Ginny. My heart starts to pound. I was Lavender's date, I asked her because Parvarti already had a date.

"She thinks Lavender and I are together." I smile "she likes me."
"No he doesn't" I say quickly and look at her.

"What?" she says

Then the ball dropped, and everything fell by the way.

As your teardrops were falling I forgot to say

That I have always loved you.

"He doesn't, he never did, there was only ever one for him."

"But, Seamus, I've always been rude, I pushed you away, why, how…it can't be."

I stroke her cheek, smiling brightly.

"I have always loved you, and I always will."

I pull her in for a soft kiss.

We part and she looks up at me.

"You were the only one Seamus, there never was another."

"shh, love." I whisper into her ear. "Just let me hold you."
