Sorry for the wait Crappy chapter? Yeah, I know. I'm a freshman in high school and I'm juggling precalculus, honors courses and extra curriculars at the same time. I'm just a really busy person. Leave a review!

Ever since the Battle of Hogwarts, the school had not exactly been in the best of shapes. The ancient Covered Bridge was in smithereens and the majority of the

walls in the castle had damage to a certain degree. Seamus kicked at the fragments of stone scattered across the floor; pretending to play football. He wondered why Americans called the sport soccer. After all, people did play the game with their feet. He rested his stomach on the rim of the balcony and leaned his muscular torso off the edge. As he scanned the horizon, he spotted the Quidditch Pitch. The stadium instantly reminded him of the World Cup four years ago.

"Mum!" he cried. "Is it okay if I grow shamrocks on the tent?"

"I don't see why not." She replied.

Seamus and Dean looked each other in the eye and shouted in unison, "Wicked!" The two boys began flicking their wands and emerald green clovers began to grow on the tent until it was barely recognizable anymore.

"And that, Dean. Is what I like to call a bit of Irish pride." Seamus beamed and eyed a motley trio walking in his direction. He spotted a four-leaf clover and plucked it from the ground.

"Hey look! It's Hermione and them!" Seamus said with excitement flashing through his eyes. He immediately waved them over.

"Ello Harry! Ello Ron!" Seamus turned his head to look at Hermione and was immediately mesmerized by her radiant beauty. She looked gorgeous yet sophisticated and he was completely at a loss for words.

"I-I-um. Hi." He muttered.

"Hi Seamus. Sorry, but we can't stay long. Ginny and Hermione are trying to catch a glimpse of Viktor Krum and we're supposed to follow them." Harry said the seeker's name with contempt.

Hermione shouted, "Bye Shay!"

"Wait!" he cried as he caught her by the arm. "I want you to have this."

Seamus handed her the four-leaf clover. Hermione beamed and gave him a flying hug. "Just what I needed! A bit of luck!"

Ginny cried,

"C'mon Mione! I hear that he has a six-pack and he walks around without a shirt!" Hermione winked at him and disappeared into the crowd. Seamus swore that his heart stopped for a few seconds.

Snapping out of reminiscence, Seamus couldn't help but realize that he would miss Hogwarts once he left. He felt his spine tingle as if someone was watching him. Quickly, he turned around to find Cho behind him.

"Ahh! Geez, Cho. Why do you keep appearing out of nowhere? You gave me a fright!" Seamus was exasperated.

"Shay, calm down! I came here to tell you that there's a Dumbledore's Army Reunion Party in the Room of Requirement today but obviously, you're not in the mood." She flipped her silky black hair and turned on her heels. Seamus panicked,

"No, Cho! Wait!" He grabbed her by the shoulder and noticed that tears were welling up in her eyes. Her beautiful hair seemed to shimmer in the sun and without thinking, Seamus pulled her head towards his and their lips met. Cho's arms slowly made their way up to his shoulders and locked him in an embrace. Seamus did the same. He never wanted the kiss to end; it was a moment of pure ecstasy and her lips tasted like cinnamon. The snogging continued until Seamus broke away.

"NO! WHAT AM I DOING? WHAT ARE WE DOING? I can't do this, I'm in love with someone else." He felt as if he had betrayed himself. Cho was stunned. She hadn't experienced something as magical as that since Cedric. The thought of him brought tears to her eyes as she realized that Cedric was probably watching her at this very moment.

"I get it, Seamus. Hermione's the ultimate prize and I'm just the roadblock along the way."

Seamus buried his face in his hands,

"No. You don't get it. It's just complicated, Cho. We can still be friends right?"

Cho scoffed,

"Well what do YOU think, Seamus? Just do me a favor and stay away from me, alright?" Teardrops rolled down her cheeks as her footsteps thudded on the floor, slick with rain. Seamus looked up from his hands to apologize to Cho but found that she was already gone. A pang of guilt stabbed through his heart for he knew that things would never be the same again.
