I'm Not Perfect | Seamus Finnigan

Yule Ball

Seamus' P.O.V.

I was waiting outside the Ravenclaw common room.

"Must you wait here? Why can you not wait in the great hall?" The portrait asked,.

I was about to say something when Emma came out of the common room door.

I pretty sure my heart faltered.

"You're... beautiful.. I mean- not that you're not always beautiful.. but.. more beautful.. I mean-" I said nervously.

Her hair turned bright pink.

"Uh.. Emma?" 

"What?"

"Your hair just turned pink."

"What?" She said nervously, "I need a mirror."

Luna came out with one.

"Mum said this might happen.."

"What is it?" I asked.

"Well, some of our ancestors are... I'm - I'm a metamorphagus!"

"Wow."

She just smiled, and changed her hair back to what it was.

"So what does pink mean?"

"Oh.. well.. it.." She said as her hair turned purple.

"That's embarrasement." Luna pointed out, "Pink is love."

Her hair turned even brighter purple.

"Alright I need to change it back." Emma said.

My heart felt light and airy. 

"Oh yeah."  I said, "I almost forgot."

I pulled out a necklace. It was a key with a blue stone in the middle.

I gave it to her and helped her put it on.

"Thank you Seamus... What made you think of a key?"

"Well.. it's really cheesy... it's kinda stupid..."

"It can't be stupid."

"Well..."

Luna spoke up, "I helped him find it. He came up with it, It's the key to his heart."

Her hair turned pink, then purple, and back to pink.

If I was a metamorphagus, my hair would be so pink it'd blind people, but instead my face just looks like a tomato.

We made it to the great hall. Emma and I walked down the stairs together.

Hermione was waiting there with Viktor Krum.

"I knew it!" Emma said.

"Knew what?" I asked.

"Well, Viktor was hanging out in library everytime Hermione and I were there, and I talked to him. He said that he wanted to ask Hermione, but her friends were always there. So I was able to lure Harry and Ron out of the library so he could ask her." She said, turning to Viktor, "I told you it'd work!"

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

Ron was being a complete arse to Hermione all night and Emma finally blew a fuze. 

Her hair turned bright red in front of everyone.

"Listen, Ron. I don't know why your being an - for lack of a better word - arsehole to Hermione, but it's probably for a completely unnecisarry reason, as usual, and you don't have to ruin this for Hermione just because you feel like being a git today."

They were all staring at Emma's hair.

"What are you all looking at?" She asked, the looked at her hair, 'Oh, yeah."

She changed it back to normal.

"You're a metamorphagus?" Hermione asked.

"Well,yeah. I just found out today. It runs in my family. But sometimes it doesn't show until later in life."

"Do you know what this means?" Fred asked.

"No."

Fred and George got that mischievious look in their eyes.

"I am not using my 'ability' for your pranks."

Fred and George just smiled and walked away.

I turned to Emma, "Did you notice that we haven't danced yet?" 

She took my hand and we began dancing.

"I have to tell you something." she said.

"What?" I asked.

"You know about the whole mirror thing when Harry and I were trying to stop Quirrell from getting the stone, right?"

"Yeah."

"Well, when I looked in it I saw all my friends, smiling and laughing. Fred, George, Riley, Hermione, Ron, Harry, Luna, Neville, and you. And..."

"And what?"

"Well.. you kissed me."

I paused for a minute "....Seriously?"

'Yeah... I didn't really think about it much. I just thought well, the mirror said it showed your hearts desire.. but I didn't think much of it until Harry turned it around and said that it was what I wanted more than anything else in the world..." she looked down at her feet."

So I did. I kissed her. 

I blushed a little, "I wonder what you see in the mirror now..."

"Nothing. I have everything I want in the world." she laughed, "Now I'm the one being cheesy."
