Beautiful!
Seeing Lavender like this was wonderful! I wanted to whoop with joy over the line about her being done with "moping over Ron".
The movie did a great disservice to Lavender and reading this did me a lot of good!

As always, thanks for sharing your amazing talent!

♥!

Thanks for commenting. I'm glad you liked this. I thought Lavender was made to look like an idiot in the movies. I like her so I always give her a chance to tell her side of things.

Thanks for reading and reviewing.

I know you didn't like Lavender in the movies, but I thought the actress did well with the part. There was a lot she could've played for slapstick and she didn't.

Anyways, I like how you've fleshed out Lavender's character here - the fact that she doesn't like-like Seamus shows that she's not one to just fall into infatuation with anyone who shows her attention and just forget about Ron. I think you did a good job showing the mundane life-must-go-on after the battle and Dumbledore's death. Nice bit of foreshadowing with her thoughts on the werewolf attack!

Oh, and I liked the bit about the trio + Ginny being standoffish and intimidating to everyone. I'm sure that's what it looked like from the outside.

This was't really about Lavender in the movies, but my idea of what Lavender is like on the inside. It's sort of a prelude to my seventh year story.

I'm glad you liked my depiction of Lavender here, especially the part with Seamus.

I'm glad her perception of the trio worked. I don't think they meant to appear as Lavender saw them, but I do think that is how they would look to outsiders. The buzzing charm would draw attention to them at the same time as say we're talking here and your not a part of it. There's a reason of course, but that's how it would look.

Thanks for commenting its very appreciated. (I didn't have a problem with the actress. It was the way Lavender was written that I didn't like.)

Thanks. I've often thought about what the other students thought about Harry and his friends whispering behind spells alone when not running off and having adventures. After the battle Harry seemed to have cut himself off from everyone except Ron, Hermione and Ginny. I wondered what they all thought of that.

I’m not sure if I’ve told you this before, but I love your Lavender. Always a girl on the cusp of becoming a woman, always something going on beneath the surface. Very nice job.

Thank you. I enjoy writing Lavender. I do see her exactly as you describe.

Thank you for reading and commenting by the way. I know you are busy with your own work.
