Seamus Finnigan didn't blow anything up...today (walk_on) wrote in afic,
Seamus watched Malfoy's retreating back with a small frown on his face, feeling irrationally quiet and completely at a loss of how to deal with that. He knew that by all means he should be having a strong emotional reaction - scream, shout, throw stuff out of windows - but instead Seamus felt curiously numb and even he recognised this as symptoms of shock.
Drawing in a shaky breath, Seamus turned to look at Harry who looked as devastated as Seamus should feel. Shaking his head in defeat, Seamus decided to act while he still could. He had promised Hermione to keep her informed if the Ministry planned something drastic. This definitely qualified.
He nodded at Harry in passing, randomly recalling a Muggle expression. "Never mind, Harry," Seamus said in a low voice. "It's a brave new world, after all."
