Secrets (a Seamus Finnigan story)

Chapter Two

I try to ignore the voice, but its in vain. "Alex is finally starting to look like a girl, and not a 12 year old boy, too bad though, she could still be with me, if she wasn't a filthy whore and cheated on me with Finnigan, but I'm sure his time will come, right blood traitor?" he looks at me scowling. I was used to this, just standing there taking it while he said his insults, Slytherin laughing behinds him. but I heard someone behind me, realizing Seamus had heard him as well. "what in the bloody hell did you just say to my girlfriend Malfoy?" he said, I turned around and looked at Seamus, shaking my head, seeing Harry was standing behind him, straight faced, holding back the angry Irish boy. "Seamus, its not worth it please just sit down" I could see him, his face was physically red, fists clenched at his sides, like he was ready to pounce at the Slytherin boy. "why are you so upset Finnigan, you're acting like this is the first you're hearing of this?" he turns to look at me, then as if a lighbulb goes off, he smirks and laughs looking back at Seamus. "Oh i get it! your little girlfriend here hasn't been telling you of our conversations has she? well i'll fill you in, she's a whore who broke up with me, and then tried to get with me again, until she realized she was an ugly dirty blood traitor and moved onto you, I've just told her how bad i feel for you really, being stuck with her for two years, i mean obviously the make up doesnt work-" getting cut off by Seamus's fist colliding with his mouth, He grabbed Draco's shirt, their faces inches apart, "don't ever talk to Alex again, don't look at her, think of her, talk about her, don't even breathe around her, you are jealous scum. you think I don't know you want my girlfriend? dont you think I see you looking at her? how you try to hide it? well Draco, she's mine now you had your chance and you let her slip away, thats not her fault. not my fault, your fault." he let go of Draco, who was now blushing, his scowl and hatred gone, replaced with embarrassment. Seamus looked him up and down, and then walked back to me, grabbing my hand and walking to the table Harry was seated at, placing me in between himself and Harry, as if challenging someone to say something to me again. luckily, class started soon after and no one talking about what had just happened, no one mentioning the bruise and cut around Draco's mouth. i see Seamus reach up and wipe at my cheek, I didnt even realize, but I am crying. I look at him and smile. he forced one back, it was obvious he wanted to leave, he hid his fist from sight, he was ashamed of punching Draco like that, he knew I wasn't too happy about it. but, I knew he needed to go to Madame Pompfry now, before the swelling gets worse. I raise my hand, saying I feel ill and Snape has Seamus walk with me to the hospital wing. I gather our things and look at Harry. "I'll take notes for you, feel better okay?" he says to me with concern. I nod and smile, leading Seamus out of the Potions class and walking towards the hospital wing.
