It's a war portrait. Just a simple sketch, really.
The new Ministry's not big on statues anymore (too much baggage), but they insist they need this image of Harry, their hero. Harry concedes only if his friend is the one to draw it.
In a series of sessions, Dean sketches, shades, blends the scars, the tired form, the man who's lived a lifetime in his eighteen years.
Dean completes a masterpiece, but he walks away with that tired form in his arms.
Life resumes; Harry looks more vibrant than Dean can capture on paper—though it doesn't stop him trying.
