Oh my goodness, this is a such a beautiful piece of work. You did such a good job with Seamus and his character, the troubles he has after living in Hogwarts during DH, that felt very real. And Hermione remembers some random thing he did! Good for her.

Not putting this very well, but I like!

YAY! I'm so happy you liked it! It means a lot that you like what I did with Seamus and his characterization. <3

Oh, this is lovely!
You know, the only other Seamus/Hermione I've read was by you, too, and I loved that one as well. Seamus was a bartender and Hermione was clueless than he liked her...
I guess because they're such opposites I like to see them together? Who knows?
Anyway, this was very enjoyable!

Haha. Yes, that one is mine. I have a fondness for pub owner/worker Seamus. I think they make an interesting dynamic because they're so different, so I'm glad that's what you enjoy about them, too. ♥

Okay, so Seamus rarely passes my thoughts when it comes to a lead character. Usually because some of the story's I've read with him being POV skew towards steroetypes.

But this was brilliant! I love his personality, and someone actually considering his time under the Snape/Carrows rule of hogwarts. Then of course there is his blatant interest and sweet interaction with Hermione.

Thank you, hon! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I really am pleased you enjoyed Seamus and his characterization!

Oh, Inell, you took that little prompt and did something really lovely with it! I love Hogwarts stories set right in the aftermath of DH, and this is perfect, with the war year still casting shadows, and Hermione and Seamus finding common ground in different, yet similar experiences that they're still processing

[inell]

Thank you so much, sweetie! I got inspired by the sweet prompt. It was also nice having a chance to explore post-DH with Seamus, as I can see where he would have been changed quite a bit. It means a lot that you enjoyed his characterization here and liked his dynamic with Hermione. Oh, and I agree about enjoying Hogwarts stories post-DH a lot because JKR has confirmed Ron and Harry never go returned, so it's Hermione on her own for the first time since the troll, after spending so many months with one or both of them, and I think that's something fascinating to explore, in a way. I don't always use what JKR spouts off about in my stuff (to me canon ends at the sandwich and EWE generally), but I'm glad it's there for reference when I do want it. LOL

♥ another excellent one, I love how it takes place after that year and rewrites it... I love how you wrote how Seamus was still affected (how I assume many if not all of the kids are), and the lightness he gets from just being around/listening to Hermione talk.
