Ok... I couldn't leave it at a cliffhanger. You guys were mad :O Haha, I just couldn't bring myself to leave it.

SO this is the 5th and final part of Hidden? and I hope you enjoy it.

The next few weeks for Seamus were like being a zombie. His constantly hung his head and didn't really speak to many people, and the ones he did he got easily annoyed with. People started ignoring him completely. Except from, of course, Ginny. He was growing to hate that little girl.

The next few weeks for Dean were denying everything. Flat out. Even though Neville had seen them that day, he simply said it had never happened. Conversations usually went like this:

"Hey Dean, how is Seamus?"

"Why don't you ask him?"

"I just thought; since you two were, you know..."

"What? Friends?"

"You're not a couple?"

"No. Why would you think that?"

"Everyone says you kissed in-"

"Nope."

"But they said Neville-"

"Incorrect."

"But Seamus was-"

"It never happened."

Seamus started rethinking his life, his goals, what he aimed to achieve. He decided he was going to focus on his grades, and become a great wizard. It seemed like a good think to put his thoughts and energy towards.

That is what he was doing in the Gryffindor common room 3 weeks later, with a little assistance from Hermione when he was unsure.

"Why isn't Dean helping you?" She asked one time.

She obviously didn't mind helping the short blonde boy, but she, like most other people who knew them, was concerned about his and Dean's friendship.

"We've kind of... grown apart." He shrugged, taking the essay back from Hermione after she had looked it over. "I don't think he'd be interested."

She left it at that, knowing it was a sensitive topic. Anyway, she was glad she'd found someone who was as keen as achieving good grades as her.

The news that Dean and Ginny were back together spread like wildfire. In fact, according to Dean, they'd never actually broken up. Seamus knew Ginny would only be too happy to oblige. That way, the gossip of Dean's sexuality would be classed as fake and Ginny would keep up her ego. It was a perfect scenario.

"This is the way it's meant to be."Dean smiled down at his girlfriend, shortly after the renewal of their relationship.

He brushed a stray hair out of her eyes and kissed her. She put one hand around his neck and the other in his hair. Dean did feel a wave of guilt for his former best friend, but he thought Seamus had to accept who he was and that he couldn't be with him. It wasn't like he was going to wave Ginny in his face or anything.

Seamus was watching all this. He watched his favourite man wrap his arms around the attention seeking slut. He watched her smile as she kissed him. He longed so much to be where Ginny was and couldn't take his eyes off the embracing couple. The huge, gaping hollowed out feeling widened in his chest and spread to his heart. Dean had been his first kiss.

Dean pulled away from his girl and told her he had to go. She whined and gripped his hand to her heart. Dean laughed and tried to wiggle free but she pulled him closer to her, laughing along. Dean hugged her once more and turned around a left. Ginny, seeing no reason to stay, headed off in the other direction, in Seamus' direction. He saw this, but had no intention to leave.

As she turned the corner to where he stood, Seamus took her by surprise and gripped one of his hands on the back of her neck and the other over her mouth. She tried to gasp and slapped her hand over Seamus'. His eyes darted back to the corridor to confirm they were alone.

"Listen!" He shouted to her firmly. "You don't know what ye've got yourself into, you little-"

The sound of footsteps approaching stopped him mid sentence. Ginny whined and Seamus squeezed her neck more, pulling her down the corridor with him. His plans were to take her to a private place and forcefully convince her that using Dean for attention seeking was wrong. And she would break the relationship off. Ginny managed to clear her mouth from one of his vice fingers.

"Seamus, what-"

"Shut up, slut." He hissed, covering her mouth more.

Ginny yanked his arms free from her and shook him off.

"What the HELL?" She shouted, a bit hysterically, backing away. "Why are you being like this?"

She took off down the corridor, hands covering her face. Seamus stood standing exactly where he was as her whimpers echoed down off the walls.

"Ginny?"

Seamus snapped to attention as he heard the most beautiful, deep voice from down the corridor. Ginny mumbled something in reply.

"What? Seamus did that?" Dean sounded alarmed, his hands holding Ginny's forearms.

He looked up and the boy's eyes met. Dean blinked. Seamus had been acting weird ever since... well. Ever since nothing happened.

"What are you going to do about this?" Ginny demanded, her voice still a little shaky.

Dean pulled his eyes away from Seamus. They were like toffee and resistant to move away, like they were stuck on him. Dean dropped his arms down by his side.

"Don't worry Ginny."

He stood up straight and strode towards Seamus. Seamus' eyes stayed on him as they approached, no emotion on his face.

"Seamus, how could you do that? What were you thinking? Are you-" Dean started

"This is the first time you've spoken to me in nearly a month." Seamus interrupted in monotone, looking into Dean's eyes, completely unnerved.

Dean stayed silent, looking down on the Irish boy and trying his best to look mad. But the truth was, he wasn't mad. He surprised himself about how much he didn't care Seamus had lashed out at Ginny.

"I know ye, Dean Thomas." Seamus frowned. "You don't lie. You don't ignore people."

Seamus' eyes focused behind Dean. He saw Ginny standing, watching them, having made a surprisingly fast recovery. His eyes quickly went back to Dean as he replied.

"And I know you, Seamus Finnigan." Dean fumed. "You don't block out the world. You don't lash out."

Seamus shrugged.

"We all know who to blame for that, aye?" He looked hard into Dean's deep brown eyes, before pushing his finger into his chest. "That'd be you."

Dean lost all power. He felt like his defensive system was shutting down and he was ready to just give up. His shoulders sagged.

"What's happened to you, Shay?" He said quietly, looking at the finger still on his chest.

Seamus snatched it away.

"Had me heart broke."

Dean felt his insides go for a little country dance as the guilt washed over him. He felt terrible.

"I'm sorry." He could feel the tears welling.

He just wanted to scoop the little Irish boy up and hug him and never let go...

"Yer not that sorry." Seamus laughed, a little too manically for Dean's liking. "You didn't keep that very hidden from me."

Dean hesitated for a second, then leaned forwards and wrapped his arms around his friend. Seamus was surprised and unable to move his arms, so he stood there like a totem pole. He got a quick look at Ginny scowling and tapping her foot before Dean lifted his feet off the ground and Seamus gave a little yelp before laughing. Dean laughed too, and placed Seamus back on his feet and released him.

It was only a few seconds before Ginny came up behind them and started yapping and complaining.

"Dean what are you doing, he hurt me, he really hurt me! He's just laughing at you, making you look like and idiot and..."

Blah blah blah! Dean thought, another smile creeping onto his lips as he looked at his best friend. Seamus slyly smiled back.

"... and now I feel like I don't even know you any more, we've grown apart over these past few days it's clear to see, I was in love with you but now I don't know, and..." she continued, oblivious to what was happening right in front of her.

The words she used were so dramatic but she said them as if she was reciting what someone else had said to her. Probably was the case. Seamus raised his eyebrows and Dean stepped forwards.

"I know you love me a lot but I'm not sure of my feelings right now, I know you will try to tell me that I am but..."

Seamus tilted his head upwards and Dean downwards.

"... I'm not your everyday girl, I'm something else and I mean a lot to a lot of people, but mostly you, I know that..."

Seamus pouted jokingly.

"... I like you too but you clearly like me more..."

Dean's smile widened and their noses touched.

"I'm not over reacting or attention seeking; this is me being honest..."

Their lips were centimetres apart.

"No one understands me, you see..."

Millimetres.

"... I know I'm really pretty but people don't see what's inside me, which is a really nice girl so..."

And finally...

"I'm precious and vulnerable you know!"

...they kissed.
