Thank You, Fawkes

Pairing: Seamus/Dean

'This is a wretched nightmare,' Seamus thought as he climbed a hill, overlooking Hogwarts grounds. The battle was done. They were the victors. You-Know-Who was gone for good thanks to Harry. Everyone around him celebrated. Even those who mourned fallen loved ones sent up a little cheer that it was finally over. They had finally achieved their hard fought peace.

Seamus couldn't celebrate, though. Not yet. Not until he found him. His eyes narrowed, moving from smiling face to smiling face, looking the one that stood out. He didn't see Dean. Every face was someone else. Although some of the faces he saw were friends he cared about, it didn't lesson the feeling of his suffocation, as if he was drowning because he didn't see the one person he needed to see.

"Dean!" he shouted, desperately trying to find the most important person in his life.

He kept his wand ready as he ran down the hill, ready to disarm anyone that managed to escape the Aurors. Although You-Know-Who was gone, some Death Eaters still wanted to fight, although most of them were already captured.

If Dean hadn't survived, it would be all for nothing in his mind. Seamus wasn't sure how he'd be able to go on.

"Dean!" he shouted again.

Some heard his call and began looking around.

He ran past them.

He passed Parvati kneeling on the ground next to Lavender's body, tears streaming down her face as Padma comforted her twin. His heart twisted painfully. Would that soon be Seamus?

"Dean!" he cried, begging to a deity he didn't believe in for his best friend, and soulmate, to be okay. 'Please, don't leave me, Dean,' he thought silently, continuing to run, his arms pumping as his heart raced.

There was a bright flash of fire, and Seamus stopped. Others stopped what they were doing to stare as Fawkes appeared.

Fawkes lowered a body to the ground and Seamus saw the tall, skinny boy with the dark complexion. "Dean!" he shouted again, this time louder as he now had a focused destination. Just as he reached the artist, Fawkes leaned over and cried a couple of tears on the prone body. And the, Dean was sitting up, looking good as new.

Euphoria washed over Seamus as fell to his knees. "You're okay!" He hugged Dean close. "Thank you, Fawkes. I'm not sure what you did, but thank you, thank you, thank you."

Fawkes trilled a song and was gone in a flash of fire.

Dean patted Seamus on the shoulder. "I'm okay."

Seamus answered with a kiss, vowing to never let go now that Dean was back in his arms.
