A/N: With love, for Emma. Happy birthday, darling. Hope it's as perfect as you.

"Look at me," he pleads.

Lavender hesitates, tugging the floppy, oversized hat down and barely lifting her eyes towards him.

With a sigh, Seamus reaches out. She recoils at his attempt to touch her.

"Shay..."

But he doesn't let it stop him. His fingers grasp the brim of the hat, pulling it off of her head. Lavender tries to look away, but he tucks his fingers under her chin, his thumb caressing her scarred cheek.

"You're beautiful," he says, kissing her.

He feels her tears fall onto his lips, and he knows she doesn't believe him. But he won't give up until she does.
