yikes
First off, apologies to Ron. I'm sorry, I don't REALLY think you're shagging your sister. Or Malfoy. Or anyone, really. And I promise not to show the drawing OR the novella to anyone else.

Not that it wasn't really funny...

Anyway.



Watching Professor Lupin and Professor Black get ready for their ceremony has given me a lot to think about. And when I heard about what what going on with Ginny and Cho....and then hearing about Ginny's talk with her parents, well... A LOT to think about.

I realised I'd never really stopped thinking about Seamus as a friend. And, you know...started thinking of him as a....well, a boyfriend, I guess. He was just a really good friend. A really REALLY good friend, if you know what I mean. Heh.

But the other day, I realised that he's not just a friend anymore. And I don't want him to be. And I know it's not something I should be embarassed about, or something I should try and hide, because if Ginny and Cho and Lupin and Black aren't afraid, then I shouldn't be either. Right? And I knew that it wasn't fair to Seamus, always waffling back and forth about what we were and where we were going.

So I...well, I wrote to my parents. A really long letter. Embarassingly long. About everything. I told them that Seamus and I were, you know...a couple...

And I don't know what they're going to say, not at all. Because while they're not....well, they're not homophobic, exactly, but they're not really so enthusiasic about the whole thing. They've always had this "As long as it isn't in MY house" kind of attitude. So I...well, I just don't know.

I'm just hoping I get an owl from them soon. The suspense is making me sick to my stomach. :(

So Seamus, if you're reading this? Could you ask your parents if I can stay at your place for the easter holiday? Just in case?

Of COURSE you can stay. My family loves you, you know that.

I realized that he's not just a friend anymore. And I don't want him to be.
Dean, I ... I'm speechless, is what I am.

And grinning like an idiot.

Re:

well...you know...can't help how I feel, right?

Aw, great, now I'm blushing...this is so embarassing.... ;)

Afternoon, Mister Thomas. Take 3 and a half points each for you and Mister Finnigan, just because. 1 point deducted for taunting Mr Weasley. Good luck.

Professor McGonagall.

I do hope your parents respond promptly, Dean. And it goes without saying that I hope they take the news gracefully, as well. Good luck!

Er, 1 point from Gryffindor for the mental images your first statement inspired, Dean.

But good luck with your parents. I'm rooting for you, for what it's worth.

Five points, for displaying textbook Gryffindorian bravery.

Good luck with that, mate. Of course, they'll probably blow up like one of Longbottom's ill-fated Potions experiments, so when they do, I'd just like to point out that I Told You So.

Thanks for generating all that positive energy, Boot. Appreciate it.

Honestly.

I'm so happy for you, Dean.

Truly.

You and Seamus both deserve every happiness.
