Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. I do own Sean and Paddy. Snape may come across a bit OOC but that's only because he's being nice. SLASH!

Chapter Two,

"Well, well, well. What do we have here? Is that your baby Finnigan?"

Seamus tensed and looked at the door where Draco Malfoy was stood calmly, Crabbe and Goyle at either side of him. Paddy stirred slightly but just turned his head over. Sean had stopped drawing with Dean and was staring at Draco worriedly.

"Get lost Malfoy," Harry growled, in no mood for the Slytherin.

"Oh but Seamus hasn't answered my question yet. Is his mother at home or has she left you?" Draco laughed. Seamus blushed and looked at Paddy. "I expect she left you for a better man eh? You're pathetic Finnigan." Seamus blinked back tears and stared at the window.

"As a matter of fact Malfoy their his brothers now why don't you just sod off," Dean said, putting an arm around Sean.

"Why are you bringing your brothers to Hogwarts? Mum and Dad chuck you out or are they too poor to support you?" Draco laughed. Something snapped inside Seamus and thrusting Paddy into Hermione's arms he pounced on Draco, aiming punches for his head and stomach. Crabbe and Goyle were too shocked to actually do anything, as were the other Gryffindors.

"Seamus don't!" Harry finally came to his senses and pulled Seamus of the bleeding Slytherin. "Get out of here Malfoy," Harry snapped as he struggled to hold Seamus back. Malfoy needed no more encouragement and fled whimpering, his nose most likely broken. Crabbe and Goyle followed him like lost puppies. "What was that Seamus? You've just gotten yourself at least a detention from Snape when that Ferret runs and tells him!"

"He shouldn't have mentioned my parents," Seamus growled. Paddy was crying in Hermione's arms and no matter how hard she tried he wouldn't hush. Seamus moved to her quickly and took the little boy, shh-ing him gently and rocking him in his arms. The others watched in fascinated as the boy calmed almost instantly, one hand fisting his Seamus's t-shirt, the other sticking his thumb in his mouth.

'He really is a father.' That was the thought going through everyone's minds as Sean got up and moved next to Seamus to lean against his arm. Soon he too was asleep.

"This is the main room and this is your brothers," McGonagall said kindly as she showed Seamus his new rooms. They were on the same wing as the Gryffindor Professors; in fact her own room was the next one down. Sean was yawning badly, tired from the journey. "You can take your meals here or with your friends and when you are in lesson's Poppy has agreed to look after your brothers," she continued, following Seamus into the other room. He put Paddy in the crib.

"Thank you, arms up Sean," Seamus said and the little boy obeyed. McGonagall frowned at how thin Sean was as Seamus changed to boy into his pyjamas. Seam got into the bed while Seamus changed Paddy into his baby pyjamas and tucked him in. "I'll be back in a minute to tell you a story Sean," Seamus told his brother before gesturing for McGonagall to go in the other room. "Thanks Professor."

"If there's anything you need Mr Finnigan my room is next door. Now I will bid you goodnight," she nodded kindly to him before leaving. Seamus sighed and returned to the other room.

"Now Sean, which story would you like?"

A/N Sorry it's short and rather random but I couldn't think of anything to happen there, I know what I'm gonna do later but now...not a clue.

A/N I'm having a bit of a dilemma right now with this story, you see I put earlier that it was non-slash but now all I can think of to do with this story is slash, different pairings etc but I want to know you're opinion's on changing it to slash.
