A/N: Chapter 38. Pairing: Lavender/Seamus, prompt: help. Also, I can't remember if Lavender being injured in the Battle of Hogwarts is canon or just very, very common fanon. Either way, I'm going with it *shrugs*

Help
I wasn't always a jealous, psychotic bitch. Normally, I was a perfectly sane, rational human being. Sixth year and Ron Weasley had been a...blip. I had always known I was pretty, but I was feeling insecure, so I threw myself headlong at the first available male that had less self-esteem than I did.
After the War, I learnt to be less vain and petty: the scars, something that would have horrified me at sixteen, seemed like...karma now, and it had given me a new confidence. I didn't give a damn what people thought of me anymore.
Seamus had helped, of course: in those first few days, when I hid away from the world, he forced himself in and made a place in my world. Now I didn't know what I would do without him.
When the world had seemed small and dark, he had thrown the curtains open and let the light back in.
