(214): Probably shouldn't have written that paper while wasted, its starts with once upon a time.
(972): I tried to stop you but you kept shouting "two birds with one stone!"

"Two Birds"

"The old bird's going to murder me." Seamus murmured forlornly as he sat at breakfast, surrounded by noisy Gryffindor's and the other fifth years. He winced at a particularly loud shriek that came from the mouth of a deceptively small, docile looking first year.

Dean was covering his toast with a generous serving of jam, a look in his eyes that just oozed schadenfreude.

"You seem a bit faint, Seamus." Harry grinned, sliding onto the bench opposite the pair. "Partied a bit too hard last night, did you?"

Seamus groaned, dropping his head to the wooden table. The Gryffindor celebrations for their victory over Hufflepuff had lasted well into the following morning.

"He's anticipating McGonagall's death sentence." Dean informed the trio. Ron barked out a laugh, helping himself to a pile of bacon, and Hermione sent a disapproving look towards them at the complete exaggeration they had made about her favourite teacher.

"What did you do?" The red head asked.

"Let's just say," the Irishman said, "that I probably shouldn't have written the essay while sloshed; it starts with 'once upon a time'."

"I tried to stop you but you kept shouting 'two birds with one stone!'" Hermione admonished him as the others burst into raucous laughter. She appeared torn between laughter and horror, unable to fathom doing an assignment so poorly, but amused at Seamus' plight despite herself.

"There's still time." She relented, feeling sorry enough for him that help had to be offered. "I'll go over it and see if there's a chance to salvage it during History of Magic."

"You're a doll, Hermione." Seamus responded gratefully, looking as though he might hurdle the table and kiss her. "Don't let anyone tell you anything else."

The curly-haired witch rolled her eyes, but smiled nonetheless, before stealing one of Harry's rolls.

Is it bad that I can very, very easily envisage Seamus being like this/doing something like this? Hahaha.
