SUMMARY: What if where there was Yuki Eiri, there was instead Harry Potter? Driven from England by his nightmares, he finds sanctuary in Japan and a life of solitude writing novels. Until that fateful day, when he picks up a piece of paper floating towards him…

Of Past Misunderstandings – An Interlude.

Seamus Finnigan was sooooooo pride of his widdle Harry.

He was on his way back to Gryffindor tower when he had heard about that incident between Harry and Ron. How Ron had begun insulting Malfoy in an attempt to show everyone how evil the "blonde ferret" was (me thinks, someone needs some new insults instead of just recycling old material. But then again, I suppose if it ain't broke why fix it? Especially when one doesn't have the brain capacity to do so in the first place, the sandy-haired mused). How Malfoy just stood there glaring and 'took it like a man' so to speak. The platinum blonde wasn't about to let a weasel ruin his newfound friendship with one Harry Potter. A friendship that Harry obviously had no qualms vigorously defending, even if it was against his best friend, as evident by the lecture he gave the red-head in which he announced to the audience that Slytherins were not evil and could be better than friends than certain Gryffindors.

And then proceeded to turn Ron into a tomato because "it matched his face".

Seamus snickered at how, apparently, Snape then gave Harry 5 points for defending Malfoy, 10 points to Malfoy for "putting up with imbeciles" and then took away 50 from Gryffindor because Harry attacked another student. Harry had only rolled his eyes after that but a wicked grin was obviously threatening to break onto his face. Seamus sighed wistfully, Harry was just so… cute!

Now you may be wondering why he was all so eager to defend Slytherin rights along side Harry. While he admits a lot may or may not have to do with Harry's smexy body, it was because he had already known all to well that not all Slytherins were evil. He had been dating one of them after all. And while he and Blaise Zabini were no longer a couple, they were still friends and often met in the library to study together (you know, transfiguration, charms, potions, boys…). Secretly, of course…

But not anymore!! Seamus thought happily, I'm gonna be right there beside Harry and making friends with Slytherins!! And then Harry will like me even more!! Hehehe…!!

But all happy thoughts slipped from his mind as he took in the sight before him, freezing him in his tracks.

Par… Parvati… Parvati lying there on the cold stone floor. Eyes staring unblinking and unseeing. And glowing a shade of unmistakable green. An unforgivable green… Avada Kedavra.

Sharp blue eyes caught his as the blonde-haired woman standing above Parvati's unmoving body suddenly turned to him, making him reel in shock as he took an unsteady step back. More movement as she raised the wand in her hand, incantation already escaping her lips.

Seamus did the only thing he could possibly think of doing at a time like this.

…run like hell.

And he did, just barely dodging the sickly red beam of light that crackled viciously as it hit the wall behind him. He ran like hell towards Gryffindor tower, cursing his luck as not only was there no one in sight (where is Filch or Mrs. Norris when you need them to play sacrifice?! Seamus thought angrily) but loud footsteps behind him told him that the killer wasn't about to let the witness get away so easily. After what seemed like an age (I'm sooooo taking up quidditch or some form of sport/exercise after this!! He thought to himself, puffing loudly as his legs already began moaning at the strain he was putting on them), he finally reached the Fat Lady. Practically screaming out the password, he flung the portrait open, stumbled inside with relief (as surely the murderer wouldn't dare follow him into the lair of Harry Potter and the rest of the Gryffs!) and yelled the first thing that came to mind, "OH MY GOD I ALMOST DIED!!" (though it came out more like "OH -puff- MY GOD -puff puff- I ALMOST -puff- DIED! -puff puff puff-)

Suffice to say, everyone looked at him weirdly. Seamus quickly gathered a large breath and started to explain, "I was on my way back when I saw…" For the second time that day, he froze at the sight of blonde-haired women, "YOU!" he suddenly screamed pointing his finger at the figure seated beside Harry, making everyone in the room jump.

Harry slowly stood, placating hands raised, "Seamus, what…?" But he didn't get to finish.

"Harry! Harry!!" the sandy blonde yelled, arms flailing wildly, "Get away from her! I saw her! I saw her with my own eyes! She killed Parvati!!"

Shocked silence followed for a few seconds.

"What?!" a loud screech suddenly erupted from the other blonde beside Harry, who hurriedly pulled Draco back before he could strangle Seamus with his bare hands, "How dare you say that about my mother?! I'll kill you!!"

"Draco!" the woman admonished while Seamus' eyes widened in surprise, his… MOTHER?!

Neville, ever the peace keeper, quickly stood as well (just in case, Draco managed to escape Harry's grip) and said, "I'm sure he didn't mean any harm Draco, whoever he saw just happened to have blonde hair as well and in his panic, thought it was her," then turning to Seamus he continued, "Seamus, it couldn't have been Mrs Malfoy. She's been sitting us the whole afternoon. We'd have known if she had left the tower."

But I saw… Seamus stared incredulously at them, "But I…!"

"Have you been drinking again?" a new voice interrupted. Seamus flushed with embarrassment as he turned his eyes to that of his best friends hurt ones, and not with me but him again no doubt, were the words left unspoken.

"That's not-" he tried to explain but before he could, Dean interrupted him again.

"Or maybe you're on Ron's side too. And this was all an elaborate ruse to show 'how evil' Slytherins are," he sneered.

"What…? NO!!" Seamus shouted, how could you say such a thing? He thought, looking a Dean in shock as a horrible feeling welled up in his chest.

Betrayal.

Turning to the others, he saw Malfoy glaring at him all the more (if that were possible), Harry giving him this heart-wrenching disappointed look and even Neville was frowning at him unhappily! This isn't happening! He thought, shaken, I haven't done anything wrong! I wasn't lying! I wasn't seeing things! …or was I? As he processed the fact that it was undeniable that she didn't kill Parvati. Not if she had been here all afternoon under Harry's watchful eye…

Slumping in defeat, Seamus' gaze once again caught Mrs Malfoy's ice blue one. And as he apologized, he couldn't help but wonder… He could have sworn he saw understanding and pity in her eyes…

And it had nothing to do with his supposed defection to Ron's side.

i will get the next chapter out eventually... i will! i swear it! XD
