Harry, Seamus, And The Master Plan

By Silver Wolf

Chapter One ~ The Dream And The Deal

Harry woke up gasping for breath. As he recovered, the sounds in the dorms began to register in his mind. Ron rolled over in his sleep, while Dean mumbled something about rotten fish eggs in his sleep. Neville's snoring was loud and continuous.

"Harry?" Seamus's voice said quietly. "Are you okay?"

Harry sighed. "Yeah Seamus, I'll be fine. It was just a nightmare."

"Wanna talk about it?" the blond offered.

He considered. He had wanted to tell Seamus, Dean and Neville about Sirius for a long time. As a fellow member of the Order, Neville had been told, but the other two were still ignorant.

"C'mon Harry, you can tell me anything. I mean, you told me you were gay even before you told Ron and 'Mione. Have I told them anything? No."

Harry nodded. "All right. Come over here and I'll tell you."

Seamus jumped out of his own bed and crawled onto Harry's. The dark haired boy pulled the curtains closed and cast a silencing charm.

Seamus sniggered. "Gee, I never knew you felt this way, Harry."

He rolled his eyes. "Grow up, Finnigan. I don't want to wake the others up."

"Like they'd hear over Nev's snoring. Well? Get talking."

"Really long story cut short, Sirius Black is innocent and my godfather, and Peter Pettigrew is Voldemort's left hand man."

Seamus blinked. "Seriously?" As Harry began to laugh, he noticed what he'd said and joined in.

"Yes, really. I found out in third year." He launched into the longer version of the tale, telling Seamus all he knew, including about Sirius and Remus's relationship.

"So what was the nightmare about? I'm guessing something to do with your godfather."

Harry frowned. "I'm not really sure. It was near dark, and I saw Sirius. And then a bunch of wizards and witches and Dementors showed up, and the Dementors dragged him away. I heard someone scream 'Nooo!' and then I woke up."

"That's just weird Harry."

"I know. I keep thinking that maybe it's a warning, but that's stupid."

"Not stupid, just highly unlikely. But what if it was a dream about the past? When he was captured and put in Azkaban?"

"Do you think it might be? That was my first thought, but everyone thought he was guilty, so who would shout out?"

"Did Lupin think he was guilty?"

"I think so. He didn't want to believe it, but not one living person on the light side other than Sirius knew that he hadn't been the Secret Keeper. Everything pointed towards guilty. If I hadn't seen Pettigrew with my own eyes I wouldn't have believed him myself."

Seamus yawned, and then saw Harry do the same. "How about we sleep on it?"

Harry nodded. "All right. And Seamus," he added as the other boy made to leave, "Can you not tell anyone about this? Hermione's worried enough as it is without wondering about prophetic dreams of the past, and Ron would tell me I'm being paranoid."

He grinned. "I wouldn't dream of telling a soul, Harry. But because of that, you have to let me set you up with someone for the next Hogsmeade weekend."

Harry frowned. "Seamus, that's not a good idea. I've told you......"

"Harry, Harry, Harry," he began with a grin, waving away his friend's protests. "I swear to you that unless you both want to, you'll never have to see him outside of mealtimes and classes - "

"Wait, who are you planning on setting me up with?"

"Oh I dunno yet, Harry. I know the sexual preference of most students in the right age group......"

"Due to the fact you've tried to sleep with most of them."

"......And I know a few who'd jump at the chance to spend some time with you," Seamus continued, pretending Harry had never interrupted.

"What about Ron and Hermione?"

"You know the saying. What they don't know can't hurt them."

"That might work, but I doubt either of them are planning on letting me out of their sight in Hogsmeade."

"Tell them you're giving them some alone-time."

"They aren't a couple."

"Yet."

"True. We ought to speed up our plan so that they are together by then."

"Brilliant idea. See you in the morning."

"Later in the morning, you mean."

"Whatever."

"Go to sleep, Seamus."

"Yes Harry."

"Seamus."

"Yes Harry?"

"Shut up unless you want me to cut off your privates and shove them up your nostrils."

"Thanks for the graphic description. I'm going to have nightmares now."

"Seamus!"

"Heh heh. Sorry Harry."

"You will be when you find your cock up your nose."

"Er. Sorry."

"Shut. Up."

For once, Seamus listened. Mainly because he wasn't sure that Harry wouldn't carry out his threat.
