Nothing Else Matters
A whole year they had been separated. A whole year. Yet when it was all over, when they met in the middle of the great hall, the year fell away as though it had never happened. Dean held out his arms, and Seamus fell into them, their bodies fitting together in a perfect fit. The battle fell into insignificance as they held onto each other, each assuring themselves that the other was alive and well.
"I missed you," Dean murmured into Seamus' hair.
"Not as much as I missed you," was the quiet response, not much more than a whisper.
They stood together, neither of them caring how they must look to anyone else, neither caring that they were blocking the middle aisle. All they cared about was being together, about being alive.
"I tried to write to you, but... I didn't send it. I couldn't. If the owl had been followed... I didn't want you to be found. I couldn't be the reason you were caught," Seamus muttered, the desperation in his voice evident as he tried to explain himself.
"Seamus, I know. Trust me, I know. I have a thousand letters in my bag, all for you. We made it. We survived. Don't worry about before, thing about here and now. We're together. Nothing else matters."
"Together."
"Always."
