i love seamus and im gonna tell u why: hes real smart like? so damn curious and unapologetically eager to learn interesting facts? my hc is that he was borderline ravenclaw 100% he LOVES experimenting especially with pyrotechnics ;) and he’s rlly skilled like he managed to conjure a patronus at 15 without much difficulty and hes BRAVE!!! so damn brave. he was so fucking scared like……….just the thought of a terrifying psychopathic dictator rising from the dead and taking hold again was enough to give him LITERAL NIGHTMARES. this is totally not justifying his 180 turn on poor harry in ootp like he was a lil shit doing that smh but boy — whilst it isnt exactly excusable i can at least UNDERSTAND it ?????? a bit???? and god it took him a while like,,,,his stubbornness and pride are two of his major character flaws,,,,to actually confront the fact that he was terrified and to recognise that his denial was essentially contributing to one of his closest friends feelings of isolation???? was SO HARD and such a major character arc. for him man? once he was able to look past that which wasnt easy he was caught up in this rebellion group which gave him a way to FOCUS that fear! into fighting, into standing up and pushing back in the hopes that nobody would EVER feel so terrified as to turn on those you cared about in the same way that he did again. he was SO DETERMINED to achieve this. it became quite an unhealthy coping mechanism tbh bc my boy is so impulsive and hyperactive and he expresses himself so physically all the time like? he was so beaten up by the carrows bc throwing fists and hexes became just a way of coping with that STRESS. of the whole situation plus dean not being there and ugh? my poor lil gay :(
