When I decided to make Dean a talented and successful artist, making him a portraitist felt right and of course doing Harry's painting would give him a huge boost—and of course Harry would ask him, because he would trust Dean and feel comfortable around him.

Part of this is a preview of issues in the sequel I'm still poking at and the longer Seamus/Dean project. So I'm really really pleased that you liked the themes in it! Thank you so much!
