FRIENDS FOREVER PART II
In a friend you find a second self.
Isabelle Norton
It was time and the brown headed, sea blue eyed young wizard of seventeen was sitting waiting for a sign, a signal for the commencement of something that they had been waiting for all year long. It wasn’t that they were sure they were going to be a part of it because they did all they could but couldn’t prevent the inevitable. But at least they showed the enemies what they were made of. And even if they got into hiding in the secret room they will come back, come back in huge force for their leader and for the safety of the future of the wizarding world…
The Gryffindor looked up and looked around and saw almost the entire school present there with the DA member’s keeping a safe eye on everybody. Pulling himself out of the train of thoughts of his responsibility Seamus Finnigan rested his head on the armchair and closed his eyes…
Seamus, mate I may not be coming back this year…As you already know that they are tracking muggle borns down…My heritage is complicated. I don’t know quite a bit about it myself. I need to save myself and keep them away from going to my parents…I am not telling where I am…
Just wanted to let you know that I couldn’t have found any other best friend all through my life than in you…
Thanks...
And hoping to see you soon…

The words were almost imprinted in his mind…
Seamus opened his eyes and looked at some movement. He looked up and then around and caught Parvati and Lavender’s eye. They indicated towards the portrait hole through which Neville left them. Seamus nodded and got up from his chair. Neville wasn’t around now, he had to be ready and alert. Walking away slowly (thanks to the Carrows for the bruises on his legs) and twitching his face a bit which bore cuts and marks Seamus made rounds around the room his hand in his cloak pocket but his mind no doubt wandering to think where exactly his dear friend would be now…
Seamus regretted the entire time about burning what could have been the last letter of his best mate just for his friend and his safety sake.
Watching the Gryffindor flags around the room and the paintings Seamus realized how Dean loved drawing and painting and how he was very good at his Quidditch. The guy who always thought Football better than Quidditch had become a very fine chaser for their House! Seamus let out a small smile looking at the Gryffindor flag and a Quidditch uniform hanging nearby on a cloak stand…
Thinking of his and Dean’s best time playing gobstones and chess with Ron, or sitting together and doing nothing but cursing Snape when they had spare time and all such memories of their best school days were Seamus’ only escape route now but with every passing memory the hope and wish for his friend’s safety and survival increased and so did the pain of thought of not able to see him again…
Minutes had passed into hours and there was no sign of Neville. Seamus looked at his friends and it seemed his own worries were being reflected back and then they heard muffling sound coming from the portrait door which was closed. The wands were out instantly.
Ernie and Terry each on the side of the portrait with their wands aloft, Seamus diagonally a little away waiting to get a clear shot standing over the timid first years was ready if they were to be an attack. Parvati, Lavender, Justin, Michael all of them in their positions ready.
“Hey wh-what!” it was the astonished voice of Harry Potter and there were instant gasps. As the people from the portrait piled in Seamus was already near them and they were so many of them talking. He chuckled when he received a look from Harry which clearly indicated that he couldn’t recognize him till he spoke. Seamus shook his head and just then he noticed his best mate walk in.
Astonished, he went and hugged him covering up his relief and worry as well as his physical pain in a good natured enthusiatic hug.
Dean looked at Seamus and then sighed, “man…have the Carrows been beating you with a bludger” and Seamus chuckled
“you bet” and Dean hugged him back
“Good to see you again, mate” Dean spoke and turned just in time to listen to Harry and their next step and Seamus just nodded but he knew his mind was finally at peace and heart stable and ready to face the battle with his friend by his side, for in Dean he found his second self…
