Background for Chapter:
Hermione/Seamus
Set in 6th year
Hermione and Seamus are about to tell Harry and Ron about their relationship.
"I can't believe you actually convinced me to do this. It's like a death sentence." Seamus whispered furiously to his girlfriend of a year, secretly of course.
"It didn't take a lot Seamus." Hermione calmly replied.
"You are a seductress, that it why. You abused your power as the woman I love."
"It's called using my brain to figure out how to sway you toward my way of thinking by using my womanly ways. Now, I love you Seamus, but Harry and Ron are like my brothers and I'm tired of sneaking around. I want them to know about us."
"I want them to know about us too, love. But, what I don't want, is the murder of my body once they find out."
"They won't kill. I won't let them."
"But what if they explode? Ron, I'm not too worried about, he's an idiot. But Harry? He's like your scary older brother. And I already had to meet your actual scary older brother, I really don't need to do that over again."
"You aren't getting out of this. They're your friends, they won't hurt you."
"You under estimate how much they, and by 'they' I mean mostly Harry, care about you. They were close to beating poor Terry Booth for looking at you too long when you two were working on a project. What do you think they're going to do to me when I'm your boyfriend?"
"Oh, honestly, I've told them many times that I'm not a little girl anymore. They knew that I would eventually get a boyfriend."
"Yeah, right. Try telling them that you aren't a little girl anymore, see if that gets you anywhere."
"You are telling them tonight."
"But…"
"No 'buts' mister. Now, go talk to your friends and there just might be a reward for you."
"Can I get that reward now?"
"Go,"
"But, Mina, they will kill me."
"Then stand up to them."
"Yeah, right. Have you noticed that whenever someone is on the opposing side of the Harry Potter loses?"
"Seamus, it takes a great deal of courage to stand up to your enemies, but a great deal more to stand up to your friends."
"You need to stop reading all those muggle books."
Hermione smiled coyly at him before brushing her lips lightly across his. He leaned closer to her, but she pulled back.
"You get a lot more than that AFTER you talk to my best friends. I'll be waiting right here."
"Mina, kiss for luck?"
Hermione laughed and kissed his cheek before pushing him toward the end of the landing.
"Mina, promise me something?"
"Of course."
"If you hear me screaming, please come running."
"Okay."
"And, for the sake of my dignity, please make sure no one sees me lifeless corpse."
"Go." Hermione laughed as he walked down the stairs.
*10 minutes later*
"MINA!"
Hermione came running out of her dorm and down the stairs.
"HARRY JAMES POTTER, GET AWAY FROM HIM!"
Harry immediately backed away, though he didn't stop glaring at Seamus, who was cowering in his armchair. Ron's entire head was red and he was standing up. Seeing his girlfriend, Seamus ran behind her. She rolled her laughing eyes and Seamus glared at her.
"Mione.." Harry started.
"Don't you 'Mione' me, Mr. Potter. Now that you know, me and Seamus will be leaving."
Not waiting for a response, Hermione took Seamus' hand and lead him through the portrait hole.
They stopped outside the RoR and Seamus gave Hermione a questioning glance. She ignored him and once the door appeared, dragged him through it.
"So, not that I'm not happy about the room…" Seamus said, immediately looking forward to tonight.
"Well, now that you told Harry and Ron, you can have me for the whole night, instead of just an hour." Hermione said with a coy smile.
Seamus didn't need to hear anything else. He grabbed and threw he onto the king size bed. He climbed on top of her and captured her lips in a passionate kiss.
"I love you, Mina." Seamus said, breaking the kiss and resting his forehead on hers.
"I love you, too, Shay." Hermione responded, flipping them with a smirk, causing Seamus to groan.
Tonight's going to be awesome, was Seamus' last coherent thought.
