Chapter two - Just Friends

By: hhrprincess

The next morning Hermione went to see if Seamus wanted to go for a walk around the lake. The only Problem with that was she couldn't find him. At first she looked in the Gryffindor common room; Then she tried the Library no sign there. She was about to go ask Harry if he had seen him when she saw Seamus sitting in an empty classroom all by himself. She walked in and sat down next to him without him even looking up at her. Putting her arm around him she said

"What's the matter, sweetie?" For the first time his eyes met hers and she noticed a mix of sadness and jealously in them.

"As if you didn't know." He said getting up and crossing over to the front of the room and sitting down with his head in his hands

"What are you talking about? I really don't know." Hermione made her way over to him to stand beside him her voice dripping with tears.

"You know damn well what I am talking about" Seamus was yelling at the top of his voice. Tears now running freely done her face Hermione, paretically yelled,

"Seamus tell me what's wrong so I can try and fix it please." She grabbed his hand and looked pleadingly into his eyes searching for some kind of clue as to what could possibly could have him this upset. Taking a deep breath Seamus looked deeply into her chocolate brown and said much to calmly.

"Do you really want to know what's bothering me?" He moved over to the desk where he had been sitting when she walked in and sat back down, Meanwhile never taking his eyes from Hermione's, who was at this point honestly scared at what had she done to make Seamus this angry and upset with her?

Once he was seated she sat down next to him and took his hand in hers. Taking a deep breath she prepared herself for what was to come

"The thing that's really bothering me is the other night remember when you were having trouble with your easy?" Not really understanding why this would make him so upset ,but also not wanting to cause anymore problems, Hermione just nodded and let him continue.

"...Well I should have been the one to come over and comfort you, not Harry! Hermione let everything sink in and part of her could not believe that he was mad over something as trivial as Harry helping figure out homework. Even though the thought of Seamus being mad at something like this made her want to laugh she knew that, that would only make him feel even more angry and she was trying to make him feel better here not worse. She studied his face for a moment and when she realized that this honestly was really bothering she said as seriously as she could

"Seamus there is nothing to worry about between Harry and I, he was just being a friend and trying to help me out, we are just friends" Looking at her as if he was looking to see if he could believe her or not, he let out a sigh of relief and leaned over and kissed her softly on the lips. When they broke apart he said ,

"Yes I guess your right I'm sorry I ever thought any different." Smiling Hermione stood up and together they walked hand and hand out of the classroom and out to the lake for a walk.
