Seamus Reilly Finnigan.
You've got a nerve,
Giving me the cold shoulder,
Giving me the twice over, that's not deserved.
And we'll talk, again when you're sober,
You said that I've got cold, our heat has gone,
I wanna be in your eyes,
So you can see, what you've done.
I wanna be in your ears,
So you can hear, everything that's been missing.
Finders keepers,
Will you keep me in mind?
I like secrets,
Cause they keep me in line.
Old habits die hard,
But I'm too young to die.

Blood: "I'm half and half. Me dad's a Muggle; Mam's a witch. Bit of a nasty shock for him when he found out."
Wand: ‘Hawthorn, Nine and a Half inches, Leprechaun Hair core. Yes, I’m Irish. It works.’
Broom: ‘Ah. None. I have one at home, but really it’s just a crappy pile of twigs.’

Likes:
- ‘Dogs. I love dogs. I have no clue why. I say that but...We used to have one. She was a Border Collie…She used to stay with me when I would get freaked on stormy nights when I thought I could hear a Banshee. Tilly was her name. She died just before I came to Hogwarts. But she really left a lasting impression, y’know?’
- ‘Just hanging out with friends. It’s as simple as that.’
- ‘The colour gold. I’ve always liked that colour for some reason.’
Dislikes:
- ‘Jesus, I hate whoever keeps switching my Potions ingredients. There are a limited amount of times my eyebrows can be burnt off.’
- ‘Not to mention Potions. My eyebrows can’t take much more. But unfortunately me Mam thinks it would be brilliant to do that at NEWT level. I managed to get in…just. And I’m hating every minute of it.’
- ‘I really don’t like Ducks. It’s their feet I think. There’s just…Something about them.’
- ‘And Jesus I hate those stories about Banshees. What a horrible thing to tell children!’
Amortentia:
‘Y’know, I could never properly brew the stuff. I got a whiff of Dean’s. It smelt like Lavender (The plant, dumbass), which may be because I like that smell, yes, I said it, shut up. The second smell was shampoo and I’m guessing that’s because being clean is good. The last smell was that of salt water. That may be because we live near-ish to a beach (Yes, Ireland has beaches. Ireland is an Island. Get it right. It’s cold but it’s a beach) and I enjoy going down to the beach.
Boggart:
‘Me boggart’s a Banshee. They scare the shit outta me, to be honest. Me cousin Fergus told me stories about them when I was younger. Then he used to make horrid shrieking noises. I used to think they were coming for me…But it was just him. Little fecker. Anyway. Now I’m a bit older, but they scare me more. Anytime I hear anything Banshee like, I always think someone I know has died. I think it’s more the fact I’m frightened of anyone I know and/or love dying.’
Patronus:
‘My Patronus is fox. I have no clue why, to be honest. Maybe it’s because foxes stick around in family groups. My family and I are all pretty close. But, you know, I really have no clue. Maybe it’s ‘cause I’m so cunning and cute?’
Strengths:
- He’s actually decent at Tranfiguration.
- And, despite a few mishaps in First Year, he does alright in Charms as well.
- When he was younger, he took lessons in Irish dancing. He never wanted to be in Riverdance or anything, and it wasn’t as if he could have been, but he didn’t suck, and he is actually quite decent.
Weaknesses:
- Potions.
- Temper. He has a slight issue with his temper, and does occasionally snap at people.
- He’s quite a slob. He’s not one to spend a day tidying a room, and he really doesn’t give too much thought into the way his uniform looks. His tie is always a bit off-centre, his shirt never tucked in.
Personality:
Seamus is quite easygoing, mostly. He’s not one to stress over the tiniest things, or get annoyed at the teensiest mistake.
He’s got a bit of a temper, however, and if there is something you’ve done, he won’t hesitate to tell you about it. Never talk bad about his mother, by the way. That’s bound to get you into a fight.
He’s not what we’d call a teacher’s pet, either. Instead of being known for his prowess, he’s known for his ‘Inexplicable capability to make things explode.’ He has a certain magnatism for things backfiring. Literally.
He’s certainly a true Gryffindor. He puts on a Brave front, and he won’t hesitate to defend someone who deserves it. All in all, he’s a generally nice guy.
I’m surprised he doesn’t have a fanclub.
a p p e a r a n c e
Hair: His hair is a sandy brown. He keeps it short, as he really cannot be bothered with a slightly longer hairstyle.
Eyes: His eyes are light blue. They look very innocent and childlike, compared to the rest of his face.
Complexion: He has freckles scattered across his face, and his skin is pretty clear.
Height: He’s 5’9. He wishes he was a bit taller.
Weight: 150 pounds. An ideal weight.
Build: He flies, so he has muscle tone from that. He not just skinny, as he has all the proper muscles needed to look…Normal.
Unique Features: He has an Irish accent…?
h i s t o r y
Family:
Mother: Siobhan Finnigan. (Pronounced Sha-vaun, those of you who think it’s Sio-ban. xDD)
Father: Paddy Finnigan.
Brothers: None.
Sisters: None.
History:
Seamus Finnigan was born and raised in Donnegal, near the west coast of Ireland. He was a talkative child, and…
Never really shut up, to be honest.
He attended Muggle school, by request of his father, and got used to both Muggle and Wizarding worlds from a young age. He began showing signs of magic at around age seven, when he thought he saw a Leprechaun (Which he, in fact, did,) and was so upset he wasn’t able to catch it, he threw a rock in its general direction. The rock stopped half-way, and he made it float, somehow. His mother witnessed this and was, of course, over-joyed.
Though she still told him off for assaulting poor creatures.
o t h e r
Orientation: Straight.
Currently Likes: ‘No one.’
Turn Offs:
- Freckles. ‘Too like me mam, and that’s just odd.’
- Body Odor. ‘Really, it’s not that hard to take a shower.’
- Playing hard-to-get. ‘It’s stupid, and I’d just give up.’
Turn Ons:
- Capable of doing some things by themselves. ‘I’m not going to fight all their battles.’
- Not overly-clingy. ‘I wouldn’t mind at least some time to myself, thanks.’
- Dark-coloured eyes. ‘What? They’re pretty.’
Secrets:
- The whole Irish dancing thing.
- He once had a dream he and Dean were getting married. He has no clue why.
- Once fancied both Patil twins at the same time because he thought they were the same person.
- He couldn’t do a shield charm until the D.A. meetings.
- He once wanted to be a farmer.
