Harry, Seamus, And The Master Plan

Harry, Seamus, and the Master Plan

By SilverWolf7007

Chapter Two ~ Breakfast Time Conversations

Seamus thought hard for a few minutes as he got dressed later that morning. Breakfast would be starting soon, and Harry had promised to wait for him.

Setting up Ron and Hermione was something he and Harry had been working on all year and part of the previous one.

Seamus had pulled Harry aside one day and told him that he was bisexual. Harry had responded by telling Seamus not to think he was coming on to him or anything, but he was gay.

They spent that whole night talking, and after both getting detention for falling asleep in Transfiguration the next day, they talked some more and began to construct their master plan.

It wouldn't be too hard. No, what Seamus was worried about was who he could set Harry up with.

It had been something he'd been trying to do since beginning of fifth year. Near the end of the term, when he'd found out his friend's preferences, he hadn't been deterred. In fact, he'd just tried harder.

But now, when Harry had finally consented, he was fresh out of ideas. Neville, Dean and Ron were straight, Colin Creevey was just plain creepy, a female was out of the question, the Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws all had a boyfriend or girlfriend, Crabbe and Goyle were repulsive, most Slytherins wanted Harry dead anyway, and there were rumours about Blaise Zabini and Draco Malfoy's friendship being more than platonic.

What Seamus needed was to see if those rumours were true. If they weren't, then he had the perfect person. If they were, then he'd have to resort to someone not attending Hogwarts, or worse, himself. No, he was out of the question. Harry was like a brother to him, it would just be wrong.

"Are you coming, Imp, or are you going to miss breakfast altogether?"

"Coming Felix." He exited the dorms and joined Harry on the way to breakfast.

"So, have you come up with anyone yet?" Harry asked as they entered the Great Hall.

Seamus shrugged. "One, but I need to research it a bit. If we're lucky, I might be joining you for a double date."

"Nope. Bad idea. I can't eat in public near you."

"Oops, I forgot about that."

They sat at the Gryffindor Table and began breakfast.

Just as Seamus was drinking his orange juice, Harry leaned over and whispered in his ear. "What makes you think I'd be caught dead in Hogsmeade with Draco Malfoy?"

Seamus choked. After he'd caught his breath, he whispered hastily to his friend, who was calmly eating his toast. "Harry, how did you know?"

Harry smiled mysteriously. "Well, I've noticed that you seem to have quite a liking for drooling over Blaise Zabini, you mentioned the chance of you going on a date too, and which other two Hogwarts boys have such a close friendship that people think they're shagging?"

Seamus shrugged, and they both went back to their meals, mentally resolving to finish the conversation later, where prying ears wouldn't hear.

Even though they both had very good hearing, neither of them picked up on the conversation halfway down the table between four of their closest friends.

"Have you guys noticed how close Harry and Seamus are?" Dean asked quietly.

Hermione nodded. "They're always together, they're like Malfoy and Zabini."

Lavender gasped. "Maybe they are!" At the other's curious expressions, she explained. "There are rumours that Malfoy and Zabini are actually a couple."

Ron's eyebrow's shot up. "You think Harry and Seamus are shagging?"

She shrugged. "They might be."

Dean frowned in consideration. "You know, neither of them even said good morning to us today."

Ron nodded thoughtfully. "They just walked straight past, whispering. They look like they're plotting something."

"They do seem to be sitting rather close," Hermione commented. "I can see Malfoy and Zabini from here, and they're whispering and such too. There's so much similarity, it's not even funny! If those two Slytherins are a couple, then there's no chance of Harry and Seamus not being together."

"And if Malfoy isn't shagging Zabini, then Harry and Seamus probably aren't shagging either," Dean concluded.
