Chapter 2: Classes

Seamus woke up on September 1st, a grin immediately to his face. Seamus couldn't help but grin, it was his birthday! He squirmed a bit in bed, and saw Harry's messy hair splayed against his chest. Seamus sighed, he hated having to wake him up.

"Mate, 'arry, wake up, we have to get ready." Seamus whispered into Harry's ear. Harry stirred and moved his hand a little lower on Seamus' abdomen, but remained asleep.

"Aye mate, I don' wanna geddup either. We gotta." And with that, Seamus pinched Harry's arm. Hard.

"Ow..." Harry moaned in pain, sitting up. He rubbed his eyes, and then he realized the day and jumped off the bed.

"Har, what are you doing down there?"

Harry popped up from the side of the bed and handed Seamus a box, it was wrapped in parchment, covered in detailed portraits of Seamus' face. Seamus took it and read the gift label on it. To: Seamus F. From: Harry and Dean. Dean. Seamus gets to see Dean again, his best friend in the world. Harry may be bonded with him, but Dean would always be his first and oldest friend. Seamus grabbed his wand.

"Diffindo." He sliced the tape off the edges of the portraits, and opened it gingerly. Inside the box was a book. Not just any book. The title read "Sexual Charms: What Spells You Use and When"

"It was Dean's idea, since you're always flirting with all of the girls at school." Harry prodded. Seamus punched him in the arm, playfully.

"Let's get dressed, we need to go to King's Cross" Seamus said pulling on his muggle clothes. Harry groaned and did the same.

-------------------------------------------------------------

The Hogwarts express was bustling as always. The compartment they were in was full to the brim. The prefects finished their rounds. Hermione made Head Girl, and Ron somehow made Head Boy, so the other prefects report to them. The compartment held Ron, Hermione, Harry, Dean, Seamus, and Remus Lupin. Remus liked to ride the train with the other students so they used this time to all have a laugh.

"Remus, remember the first time we met Sirius?" Harry bringing up his dead godfather was odd, but he must have a reason to.

"Yes, Harry, in the shrieking shack?" Remus looked confused.

"Was he always that dramatic?"

"Sirius did always have a flare for drama, it was contagious."

"Hermione, remember when you jumped in front of me, and tried to protect us from him? He could have tried to explain himself, but no, he says "only one will die tonight."" Harry laughed, joined by Hermione and Lupin. Seamus snorted.

"Seamus, you weren't even there why are you laughing?" Dean was looking at him quizzically.

"Tell ya later." Seamus winked at Harry.

"Tell him what?" Hermione glared at Harry and Seamus in turn. It was fair, Harry did always have certain secrets from them.

"Should we tell them now, Shay?"

"Not on the train, do it in the Gryffindor common room when everyone else is asleep." It was Remus speaking this time.

"Why?"

"Its a sensitive subject and one part can effect both of you." Remus left it at that. Ron, Hermione, and Dean all looked insanely curious. They silenced after that.
