A/N: I don't plan to have Seamus transform in this chapter. I'm still getting a hold on flowing dialogue. One of my friends asked why in the Prologue, Seamus used Vulnera Sanentur three times. If you check the Lexicon or Wiki, the spell is best used by the law of the three from Paganism. Items coming in threes are a sign of power, like in most nursery rhymes or the golden trio we know and love. Onto the story!

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

It's been a week and a half since Seamus contracted Lycanthropy. He awoke on the last day of September next to Harry, who was now smaller than Seamus. The Irishman who used to be a near leprechaun was now nearing six feet tall, his shoulders broader than before, and slightly toned. It was a very quick change, taking only one night. Needless to say, Seamus was oblivious to it until he properly woke up.

"Mmm..." Seamus moaned contentedly as he pulled his mate closer. Not just his friend mate, but his mate.

"Shay?" Harry was apparently fully awake, his voice sounded thoroughly woken up. "Not to be rude, but you're hurting my stomach."

"Wha'? Oh, sorry 'arry." Seamus blushed deeply, pulling his pelvis away. They'd agreed to hold off on shagging until a while later. "Didn' meanta. Jus' woke up."

"Its fine, Shay. Let's get up and go get breakfast kay?" Harry mumbled sweetly, coaxing Seamus up with him.

Seamus strapped his wand to his arm, dressed in his muggle clothes, theu didn't fit. The wolf in him was growing, and making his body fitter. Seamus sighed and refitted his clothes with a charm he learned in 4th year for the yule ball, and walked downstairs to leave for the Great Hall. Harry was waiting for him downstairs, charting with Ginny and Dean. They were snogging again.

"Aye, 'bout time you kids tried again. Worried for Dean's health." Seamus grinned widely at them. Dean threw a book at Seamus. "Ouch!"

Harry winced at the sudden pain in his shoulder. Sometimes the bond wasn't a very nice thing, but Harry started thinking. What if the bond does the same thing for good feelings too? Harry shuddered.

"I'm going to breakfast now before all of the cinnamon rolls are taken." Harry walked out of the portrait hole. Seamus made his way after him and didn't duck, he never had to before, hit his head, and tripped through the portrait hole.

"Seamus, did you just hit your head on the TOP of the portrait?" Dean was right behind him, Ginny was in front of him. Seamus had knocked Harry over. He got up and gave Harry a hand up.

"Seamus you've gotten taller! I don't have to look down to look you in the eye!" Dean was confused, obviously. Seamus shot a glare and bared his canine teeth to give him a hint. He didn't catch on.

"Ginny, stop, I'm alright." Harry was behind them pushing Ginny off his arm. He was cut and bleeding from the fall.

"Harry you need to see Madam Pomfrey!" Ginny grabbed his arm again.
