Chapter Thirteen,

Seamus stood in front of his mirror and assessed the clothes that he'd put on for their first date, dinner at a posh sounding restaurant. He was extremely nervous and wasn't sure whether or not the tight black jeans and black silk shirt was suitable or good enough.

"Whoa Seamus, you look hot," Hermione commented from the doorway where she and Sean stood looking at him. "Whoever the mystery date is with will be knocked dead." Sean giggled, he knew who the date was with but he had promised nine times not to tell anyone and he was going to keep his promise. "How are you going to wear your hair?"

"Like I normally do," Seamus answered awkwardly as he smoothed down the shirt once again.

"Oh no you won't, you're hair always looks a mess. Let me do it for you," Hermione walked forwards and picked up the tub of wizarding hair gel on Seamus's dresser. Quickly she put a rather large amount on her hands and began to spike the soft blond hair up at different angles. "That's better, much better. So who is this date with anyway?" she asked as she wiped the gel of her hands on a tissue.

"That is for me to know and you lot never to find out," Seamus answered with a calm grin. Sean giggled happily and went back into the main room to play with Paddy on the floor in front of the fire.

"Sea!" Paddy hadn't quite managed to get his brothers name yet and just missed off the 'n'. The little boy held out a slightly wet building block he had been sucking on moments before.

"No you keep it Paddy, I'll play with this one," Sean picked up a dry block and tapped Paddy on the forehead with it. In one swift move Paddy took the dry block from his brother and placed it in his mouth with a wide smile. "Fine, you have them all."

"Sean make sure that Paddy doesn't swallow any of them," Seamus said with a smile as he pulled on his black coat. "And Hermione? Don't let them stay up past their bed time."

"But Seamus…" Sean complained loudly, he wanted to see Seamus when he got back.

"No Sean, no 'buts'. You will got to bed at half past eight. I'll see you in the morning," Seamus leaned down and kissed both little boys on the top of the head before he left the room and walked down to the front entrance of the school where a tall dark haired man waited for him. Severus couldn't stop the smile surfacing on his face when he saw Seamus, damn that boy looked good.

"Are you ready to go?"

"Yep, Hermione's watching the boys till I get back. So where is this restaurant we're going to?" Seamus asked as he allowed Severus to escort him outside. Severus gave no answer just tapped his nose as he led the younger man away from the castle so that he could apparate them to the restaurant. "You're not going to tell me?"

"No, it's a surprise."

"I have new information for you my lord…"

"Speak…"

"One of Potter's friends has two young children in his care and it appears that Potter is close to both of the young ones…"

"Children? Bring them to me, we now have a weakness of Harry Potter to exploit. Make sure the children are unharmed…"

"Yes my lord…"

The restaurant was amazing, magical lights of different colours swirled around the room, romantic music played softly around them and scented candles lit up their table. The waiters were kind and friendly as they took their orders and brought their food and wine.

"Severus this place must be so expensive," Seamus giggled as he took another sip of his wine.

"You're worth it Seamus, every Knut, Sickle and Galleon," Severus gently rested his hand over Seamus's. This may be their first date but they had technically been dating now for three weeks and quickly Severus had grown to love and enjoy being with the Irishman. Seamus blushed and ducked his head embarrassed. "So how are the boys?"

"They are doing well," they continued eating their meal which was absolutely glorious, "Sean's getting all excited about starting his reception classes at the Hogsmeade school next year and he still has half a year to go."

"And Paddy?"

"Paddy's library of words he can say is steadily growing although our names still cause him trouble, Sama and 'verus is as close as he gets," Seamus gave a small laugh as he explained. "He's got more of you're name than he has of mine though."

"Do you want some more wine?" Severus asked as he topped up his own glass. Seamus nodded and held his glass out for the refill. Soon they were done with their main course and the waiter had taken their plates away and was now waiting for their desert orders. "What do you want for desert?"

"Do they do ice cream?" Seamus asked after taking a sip of the wine. Severus chuckled and checked the small menu that was on their table.

"So it's the ice cream for you and I'll have the chocolate cake with cream," Severus told the waiter who calmly nodded and turned away. "Oh and another bottle of wine."

"Severus this stuff is expensive!"

"What did I tell you earlier?" Severus asked with a smile as he took both of Seamus's hands in his own across the table. Seamus smiled and kissed Severus's knuckles gently. Who would have ever thought the cold potions master was capable of something like this.

The smile on the spy's face grew as he and the Deatheaters he had just smuggled into the school came up to the door. It was almost too easy, rush in, kill the girls and take the boys. There was however the probability that she would fight back but she was only a girl, they were grown-ups and trained to fight. The door gave way easily and they ran in, finding the girl sat on the sofa with the elder boy.

"Run Sean!" Hermione screamed as she pulled out her wand and shot a spell at the group of Deatheaters. One went down but the others shot spells back, none of them the killing curse but all of them greatly harmful to the young girls health leaving her unconscious and bleeding on the sofa.

"Get the boys." They were gone before the teachers even realised that an attack had happened.

A/N There we go, another chapter and I'm sorry about the cliffie.
