seamus finnigan x reader :,)

||2||

you sat there on the couch, dumbfounded. he this couldn't be real? could it? no. it was just some stupid joke. you shook it from your head and went down for dinner. when you got to the great hall you plopped yourself down next to parvati. normally you wouldn't have minded sitting with hermione, but hermione was sitting with harry, and harry was sitting with weasley, who, unfortunately, was sitting next to... well... finnigan.

"hello, y/n, don't you normally sit with mione?"

"yep." you tried to keep your sentences short, but that just made you come off more suspicious.

"are you ok?" parvati, sounded slightly concerned. you thought about what had happened in the common room, and a light blush dusted your cheeks. you almost wished you'd sat with mione now.

"are you... blushing?" she had a mischievous grin plastered on her face now, though she did at least grant you the courtesy of lowering her voice.

"nope" your cheeks were only growing more red now.

"now, this,, is a real mystery. y/n normally sits with mione at dinner, and really could, considering there's multiple spare seats. everyone sitting there is there most of the time, buttttt maybe something changed between one of them and y/n outside of dinner. i wonder who it could be? ron, harry, sea-"

"right shut up parvati. and stop talking about me i'm third person," you looked around to see if anyone was listening before turning back to parvati. "i'll tell you in the library, come on." you quickly ate up the remainders of your sticky toffee pudding //a/n sorry i had to i love sticky toffee pudding that shit is hands down the best,, second only to apple crumple and custard.// and grabbed your bag, leaving parvati shovelling spaghetti into her mouth before hurrying after you.

when you eventually reached the library and checked that it was empty. you sat down across from parvati at a table. she was already leaning over it, listening intently to what she was waiting to hear.

"ok. so i was in the common room,"

"yeah,"

"on the couch by the fire"

"yeah,"

"having a nap,"

"yeah,"

"right can you not i know you're eager but i'm trying to tell you and you keep interrupting"

"right sorry"

"ok so i was in the common room on the couch by the fire having a nap, when i heard ron and... yknow...." you blushed a bit

"seamus?" said parvati grinning

"finnigan." you corrected, blushing a shade darker than before. "coming down the boys dorm stairs. i -of course- didn't really feel like being set on fire, so i stayed quiet so they wouldn't notice me. buuuutttttt then ron called me an angry dragon barbarian,"

"good choice of words" parvati mumbled absentmindedly. you glared. "sorry.." she uttered.

"anyway i was kind of hurt, as you would be, so i was like 'eXcUsE mE' but see the issue is the reason he called me an angry dragon barbarian was because he was saying that i'm not an ice queen which he was saying because,, well,, i think he was ,,, yknow....."

"go on..."

you lowered your voice. "he was trying to convince finnigan to ask me out because,,, i mean i don't know if i heard right but i think i maaaybe heard something about finnigan..... wanting to ask me out?" the previously dusty pink on your cheeks darkened significantly saying this.

"i- i mean it's not like i like him i just... no ones ever really liked me before"

"except malfoy last year."

"what???"

"yeah why did you think he was staring at your arse all the time?"

"what?????? and you chose to not tell me this"

"i thought you knew" she chuckled. "to be honest i think seamus-"

"finnigan"

"-oh shut up- i think he does like you. i mean it'd explain why he was always glaring at malfoy in potions."

"please- everyone hates malfoy. why wouldn't he have been staring at him?"

parvati shrugged, still grinning.

you jumped, hearing the library doors open.

"oh shut up lee."

"come on— you guys must have hate fucked at least once."

"listen, as much as i would like to say we had," you knew that voice. also what? "there's no way in hell y/n would let that happen. i'm fairly certain, lee, that she fully hates me."

"come on seamus, ron told me she blushed when she heard you talking about making a move."

you heard their footsteps approaching, and terrified, dashed into a cupboard, leaving parvati sitting alone at the table.

you pressed your ear to the door to hear what was going on.

"ok don't get me wrong, she's hot, and she blushes a lot, but there's no way she likes me.

"is there not?" parvati that traitor.

"p-parvati? what are you doing here?"

"oh i was just talking with y/n- you know, about boys." she was /so/ dead. "you, to be specific."

seamus, no. finnigan. seemed to have recovered from his initial shock.

"really?" he didn't really sound like he believed her. thank god.

"yep, you can ask her yourself if you want— she panicked when she heard you coming and sprinted into that cupboard there"

fuck.

you heard footsteps approaching the door. shit. shit. shiiiitttttt.

you panicked, and, in a second, your body collapsed into a long coil, your skin replaced by deep emerald scales. just as the door opened you had fully assumed your second form. mortified at yourself, you stared seamus dead in the eyes- hoping to god you hadn't done the wrong thing. parvati looked at you, somewhat disappointed that you wouldn't be getting any with seamus now that you were a snake. lee stood a couple paces back from the door, frozen. slowly and unsurely, you slithered out of the cupboard and, glancing back to make sure they were still terrified and unmoving, darted to the first place you could think of they wouldn't follow you.
