An owl flew through his open window during the first week of the summer holidays. Dean recognised the owl at once. He took the note from the owl, gave it a treat and then opened the note. It was from Seamus asking him if he wanted to go to the Quidditch World Cup with him and his mother.
Dean rushed downstairs and asked his mum if he was allowed to go to a sporting event with a friend. Naturally, his mother agreed.
A few weeks later, the doorbell rang just as Dean finished packing. His mum hollered up the stairs and he rushed down. Seamus was lounging in the kitchen looking perfectly at home. Whilst Dean's mother went through the details, Dean and Seamus went over the list of things they would need. After double-checking everything, it was time for the off. Dean hugged his family and then reached for Seamus's hand. His mother waved goodbye and they Apparated away.
The Quidditch World Cup was extremely fun up until the whole Death Eater invasion thing. Luckily, they got out very quickly. Dean spent the rest of the summer in Ireland with Seamus and his family, exploring, taking pictures, practising his drawing skills and having a very enjoyable time.
Fourth Year. Triwizard Tournament. The Yule Ball and they had to find partners. Every time Dean thought about asking someone it felt like a blow to Seamus's stomach. After weeks of discussions and no action, all the females they had considered had already been asked, so they decided to go with each other. They were even better friends after spending the summer in each other's company so this, they decided, would be alright. Dressed in traditional robes they entered the Great Hall. They sat out for the more flow-y, traditional waltzes but when it was a free-for-all they were on the floor with everyone else.
Hermione spotted them and came over. They danced for a while and then a slower song began to play. They tried to leave the floor but Hermione was having none of it. In her defence, she was ever so slightly hyper and very angry with Harry and Ron. She was determined to have a good time and of course she had to choose this as her entertainment.
She stood next to them with a grin on her face as they danced together. She didn't think that it would mean anything to them but it really did. Seamus briefly looked up and into Dean's eyes before looking away and laughing. Fortunately, everyone accepted they were dancing together and continued as normal.
That was the night Seamus finally agreed with his subconscious. He loved Dean.
