I'm Not Perfect | Seamus Finnigan

Seamus Finnigan

A few weeks later, I had stumbled upon the three headed dog, Fluffy, and now we were trying to find out about Nicholas Flamel after Hagrid accidentally told us 'that is between Dumbledore and Nicholas Flamel'.

I walked into the Gryffindor common room with Hermione.

"What is she doing here? She's a Ravenclaw!" Percy complained.

"Hey! Our little sidekick has come to visit!" George said.

I rolled my eyes, "Again. I am not your sidekick."

"Sure you aren't" Fred said sarcastically, "After all the pranks you've helped us pull."

I ignored them and sat down with Harry, Ron, and Hermione to discuss it.

"The name sounds so familiar! I just can't seem to put my finger on it! I must've read it somewhere!" Hermione said.

"I'm pretty sure I have too." I said, equally frustrated.

"Well we'll have to go to the library."

Harry, Ron, Hermione, and I moved to walk out of the common room.

"Hey Hermione?" A boy asked.

"What is it?"

"Could you help me with this for potions? We're supposed to make our own babbling potion but I'm afraid I'll blow it up again."

Oh, that's the kid that's always blowing things up in class.

"I'm sorry. I have to go research something."

"I can help." I said.

"But-"

"You can research without me. Tell me if you find anything."

"Alright." Harry said.

And with that, they left.

"Hi. I'm Emma Torrett."

"I know."

"How do you know?"

He blushed. Probably wondering if I thought he was a stalker.

"Well your the top student in every class so..."

"Oh."

"Anyway, I'm Seamus Finnigan."

"Well, what do you have so far?"

We started mixing the potion and every once in a while I'll say something like, "Oh that's what happened. You're supposed to stir left, not right."

I would try to sound nice and not like a rude know-it-all.

When we were done, he said, "Thanks. That's the first potion I've ever made succesfully."

"No problem!" I said cheerfully, "So... if you ever need help again I'd be happy to."

I think I've found a great way to make a new friend.

He smiled, "T-that would be nice."

"Well, I've got to go see if Harry, Ron, and Hermione have found anything."

"Ok. Bye."

I walked out of the Gryffindor common room.

Percy stopped me, "I could take points from Ravenclaw for being in another common room, but considering you were helping a student with their studies I'll let it slide."

I smiled, "Ok."

"By the way, I can definitely see you becoming a prefect."

"Really?"

"Well, yeah. I mean, I hate to admit it, but your doing better than I did in my first year."

Then Neville walked by, covered in boils.

"Neville! Who did this?" I asked.

"Malfoy." he said sadly.

"That slimy bloke." I said angrily, "Come on, let's get you to the hospital wing."

"I will catch him next time," I continued, "and he will regret it."

I walked with Neville to the hospital wing.

When we got there Madam Pomfrey said, "Neville! What happened this time?"

"Malfoy happened." I seethed, "Again."

"Oh, you poor boy. Come on, let's get you fixed up."

I left and hurried down to the library.

"What took you so long?" Ron asked.

"Well after I helped Seamus, I talked to Percy, and then I had to take Neville to the hospital wing because Malfoy hexed him again."

"Honestly. Sometimes I just want to punch him in the nose." Hermione said. (A/N: Haha. Foreshadowing.)

"Well, anyway, we found out what Fluffy is gaurding."

"Really? What is it?"

"Well, it says here that Nicholas Flamel created the Soreceror's stone. It can turn any metal into gold, and it cam grant immortality. That's what Fluffy is gaurding. That's what's hidden under that trap door."

"Thank you Hagrid, for blurting out things you really shouldn't supposed to."

"Yeah." Harry agreed.
