Seamus' face turned quickly from surprise to laughter as what his best friend had just said. Dean chuckled along, starting to jog lightly ahead of him.
"We're gonna be late, Seamus!"
The shorter boy snorted. "Give me a reason to care." He didn't bother picking up his pace. "Just walk with me, will you?"
Dean made a show of rolling his eyes but ran back up the hill to meet his roommate. They kept walking towards the quidditch pitch, hands hanging carelessly at their sides. Seamus blushed as his pale fingers brushed those of his dark-skinned friend. not just a friend, a part of his brain tried to correct him.
But Seamus was jolted back to reality as the duo reached the bottom of the hill and a flash of red hair stepped into Dean's waiting arms. The Irish man had to look away as his roommate's lips met those of his girlfriend.
"I was wondering if you would end up showing."
"I always do." Dean stepped away.
"Just with less time to spare every day." She threw her sweaty hair in a ponytail. "Hey Seamus."
"Hey, Ginny. Good to see you." Seamus sported a weak smile. He liked the youngest Weasley, he really did, but he had a hard time not resenting her when she's got the boy he's sure he loves wrapped around her finger.
"Can we head up?" Once again, Seamus was brought back to his current position by Ginny Weasley's voice.
"Sounds good to me, Seamus you coming?" Dean grabbed his girlfriend's hand, not unnoticed by Seamus.
"Uh, no you go on ahead I'll meet you back in the tower."
Dean and Ginny exchanged a glance. "Are you sure? You're welcome to walk with us."
"Yeah, I've got something I've got to take care of, I just remembered."
"Alright mate," Dean seemed to accept his answer. "See you up there." He turned, slipping his arm around Ginny's waist, and they headed up toward the brightly lit castle.
Seamus walked the other way. He thought he'd sit in the locker rooms for a minute and just collect his thoughts. He had to get a hold of himself.
The sixth year sat down heavily on a bench right outside the pitch, staring off into the darkening sky.
"You okay?" A brighter female voice spoke this time.
Seamus looked up into the concerned eyes of Katie Bell, who's hair was thrown haphazardly into a do similar to Ginny's. "Oh yeah, I'm good. Sorry, just... enjoying the weather." The lie was awkward but Seamus hoped Katie didn't notice.
Clearly, she saw right through him, though he wasn't sure she could read what exactly he was thinking. "Well I was just about to head back up to the common room, d'you want to walk with me?"
"Sure." He stood and they began to walk. After a moment or two of heavy silence, Seamus spoke up again. "Um, Katie. This is awkward but I was wondering if you might want to go with me to the next Hogsmeade weekend."
She looked over at him, studying him for a long time without responding. He shifted.
"No."
He just stared back at her, his cheeks starting to heat.
"You're hot Seamus, sure, and I know I'm hot, but you're not interested in me."
"What? Of course I am! You're beautiful and you have nice tits and..." He trailed off, looking at the ground. "I'm sorry, I can't do this."
"Exactly. I can't be a distraction for you." Katie looked up the hill to where Dean and Ginny had reached the castle. "How long have you liked Thomas?"
Seamus looked up sharply. "What?"
Katie just rolled her eyes. "I don't know you very well, Seamus, but I can tell. You've fallen hard for Dean."
A moment of silence and Seamus sighed heavily. "So what if I have. There's nothing I can do about it."
"I'd say not asking girls out when you know you're gay would be a pretty good start."
"Noted." He glanced up at her.
"And for what it's worth, Dean and Ginny aren't going to last. You'll have your chance with him soon enough."
A foreign glimmer of hope rose in Seamus' chest. "What makes you say that?"
"I've seen Ginny at practice, she's worse off than you, pining for Harry. She'll never be happy with anyone else. That and Dean treats her too much like a lady, that's not the kind of person she needs."
"I wouldn't mind being treated like a lady." A soft grin rose on his face.
"Just give it time."

Severus's potion book being annotated, corrected, tattered, and well-loved has my entire heart. He loved potions class. He was so very creative and smart. It takes ingenuity to look at the text and improve it. He should've written a textbook and published it.

*6th Year bathroom scene* Draco, when he sees Harry: Why the fuck you keep following me, Potter?! Harry: In my defense I come here everyday to go down the Chamber of Secrets to have my daily mental breakdown alone. Draco: Harry: So, yeah, if you excuse me... Harry: *Turns to the sink* Draco: Potter, that's a fucking sink. It's not the Chamber of Secrets. Harry: Oh, you sweet innocent little snake! Harry, in Parseltongue: Open. Oh, and stairs would be good too. Thank you. Harry, to Draco: You were saying? Draco:

Disproving an unreliable narrator (HP/ST parallels)
(psa : this post is in reference to the use of an unreliable narrator/memory reveal plot device ONLY I do not think Mike Wheeler is like Snape. AT ALL. Believe me guys. Absolutely not. No.
I just think the narrative similarities are interesting considering the strong Harry/(Voldemort/Tom Riddle) and Will/(Vecna/Henry Creel) parallels and how Papa is almost like Dumbledore, in a narrative sense, raising a child like a pig for slaughter because he failed terribly with the last one -- but that's another post)
I've said this before, but in the final Harry Potter movie, THE 'big twist' for the general audiences was Snape's memories scene -- a memory montage revealing that all his questionable behaviour was, in essence, because he was in love with someone you never would have expected - his childhood best friend -- this is partly why I'm convinced we're going to get a flashback montage to explain Mike Wheeler's thoughts and feelings since before season 1.
The situations are startlingly mirrored. All though the HP series, we are shown through snippets of conversation an inexplicable looks, that Snape is the villain, but we are seeing this through Harry's eyes as an unreliable narrator.
The 'point of no return' for Snape's character was him murdering Dumbledore, it was the ultimate betrayal designed to make the audience believe that Harry's unreliable narration was correct. It was that final moment of indisputable evidence that he is everything he was painted as being.
-- But even that had facets that turned the whole thing on its head in hindsight (he was a double agent, and did it because he felt forced, and pushed by his friend, and had in fact begged not to be put in that position).
Mike's monologue is similar, (!!! NOT that I am likening a love confession to committing murder, (please.) this is purely in a narrative sense) for byler it seems to be the point of no return, the metaphorical final nail in the coffin for Will's feelings ever being requited. But as with HP, some things just don't add up -- Mike's facial expressions and the actual words of the monologue just don't support the sentiment. This monologue was intentionally used to divert as much suspicion as the writers could, in order for that twist to pack a that much harder punch.
We know this! We know that Will is an unreliable narrator here, I just find it interesting that the plot device to resolve that unreliable narration for the big twist in Harry Potter was a memory montage with dramatic music and posthumous* redemption centred around being in love with a childhood best friend.**
And yes I do think this revelation is going to come hand in hand with the reveal about what really happened the night Will disappeared and whether Will has powers or has to die or is the key to defeating Vecna. The use of flashbacks in this way is such a cathartic plot device and I love it, and I think the drama of byler can do it justice :)
* Yes I'll admit this makes me a little scared that Mike is going to die in s5 and we'll find out through his hidden letters, (read by him, voicing over a montage) that he loved Will all along, and he just never got to say it, but if this is true I will never recover so let's not go there I prefer the Vecna'd approach anyway
**(Albeit the HP childhood best friends to lovers plot was an unrequited one, but the point still stands)

Never realised until today how awkward everyone is behaving in the half-blood prince.
Harry standing next to Ron's hospital bed like a stick.
Harry just plain looking not saying anything while Hermione and Ron are talking about Lavender afterwards.
Blaise literally not being embarrassed for his best friend Draco or laughing his ass off when Filch caught him at the Slug Party, like what is this he just standing there like everyone else like :| you guys are teenagers, go make fun of each other, gossip around what is this
every encounter between ginny and harry obv
btw Ginny isn’t the only with 0 personality, literally everyone lost theirs
everyone always standing around like a god dam stick istg do you not know what to do with your hands other than stick?? everyone is so weirdly postured throughout the movie, so unnatural, why have I never noticed
there’s more I guess

Coming to Ao3 September 2022
...
During the second battle of Hogwarts, a violent and mysterious curse devistates both sides of the war. Voldermort is finally defeated, the Order is left standing victorious and nearly all Death Eaters are killed or on the run.
Nearly all.
But Draco Malfoy? He's found barely alive, and is given an opportunity for a new life, by the most unlikey source.
The girl he tormented as a child.
The woman he's been harboring feelings for, for years.
The golden girl, herself. Death Eaters' Bane. A perfect vision of The Angel of Death.
Hermione Jean Granger.
Hunt down the most deadly death eaters who ever lived? Help Hermione Granger avenge her parent's murder? Get a second chance at life?
If only it were that simple...

No, because James Potter and Sirius Black were obsessed with Severus during their school years. Why else would they target him specifically all the time? He wasn't the worst of the worst of Slytherins. If they hated Slytherins who embodied everything evil then they could've gone after Mulciber. There were mentions of way worse people. The only reason for the animosity is because Severus dared to be friends with Lily, a Gryffindor.
I view their "rivalry" like how Harry was obsessed with Draco during HBP. Why else would James and Sirius know so fucking much about Snape?
