"I'd still notice," he told Dean, elbowing him back.
Seamus shrugged his shoulders has they walked through the hallways to the gates that led them outside for the walk to Hogsmeade. "I probably would've just slept, to be honest. I really am sorry I haven't been around lately. Just got a lot on my plate."
It was killing him inside. Silently Seamus wondered if he did let slip what was going on, if it was something that Dean would absolutely keep to himself. Or if he should keep on lying and give him the Patronus help excuse. He hated lying to Dean, but so much was relying on the secrecy of the animagi, and how much trouble they could all get in.
Seamus was pretty sure he was going to go mad by the end of it all.
