I'm Not Perfect | Seamus Finnigan

Replies

The next day, I woke up to find two replies. One from mum and dad, and one from Luna. Seamus must not have gotten my letter yet. For a regular owl it should take at least two days to get there and two days back. But when I bought my owl I was told it was rare and could travel a day faster.

Emma,

Yeah! The Quibbler's doing great! I enclosed an issue of the magazine. If you ever want to subscribe to it just tell me. This issue has a free pair of spectrespecs. They are used to see wrackspurts. I bet you're having fun at the burrow. I hope you have a great summer too! 

Your friend,

Luna Lovegood

Sure enough, there was an issure of the Quibbler. "Cool." I said, before moving on to the next letter.

Emma,

We're happy to know that you've made friends. I think we've met Luna's father before, Xenophilius Lovegood, right? And Harry Potter! That's wonderful that you have someone that understands. Seamus sounds like a good friend, it's nice to know that you're using your knowledge to help others. Hermione Granger sounds just like another you! As for Ron Weasley, I think I've met the Weasley's before. His older twin brothers Fred and George sound like really fun people. And we know the Diggory's. Well, we hope you have lots of fun at the burrow with your friends! And yes, Dumbledore told us all about what happened with the stone. 

With love,

Mum and Dad

I rolled up the parchment the letters and turned around to see Fred and George looking right over my shoulder.

"Cool! You wrote about us!" Fred said.

"I wrote about all my friends."

"So? She said we're fun!" George exclaimed.

I rolled my eyes and went down to breakfast.

"So, Emma wrote about all of us to her mum and dad." George said when we were all seated at the table.

"It's not that big of a deal! They asked me if I made any friends!" I said.

"What did you say about me?" Ron asked.

"Well, I said that you were cool. And really great at wizard's chess. I told her about how you Harry Hermione and I got the Sorceror's stone. Although I was pretty sure Dumbledore had done that already."

"And me?" Harry asked.

"Well, I told them that you understood the whole famous thing. And that you want to be known for who you are as a person." 

"Cool." Harry said.

"And what did you say about us?" Fred and George asked in unison.

"That you and Riley are really funny, and that I help you prank sometimes."

They smiled as if they'd accomplished something.

"And Hermione, I said that we were pratically sisters."

"It's true." Hermione said, "We're like personality clones."

I laughed at that.

"What did you say about Seamus?" Harry asked.

"Oh." I started, until I saw everyone at the table looking at Harry, and then at me. Obviously thinking that Harry knew something they didn't.

"I didn't say much... I said that I helped him with his studies and... he's a good friend."

Harry smiled mischeviously.

"What?"

"So you didn't mention tha- OW!" He didn't get to finish because I had kicked him under the table.

He glared at me.

I smiled innocently and shrugged, "Must be the Nargles."
