[artistic] - dean/seamus
part of dorrito's every flavour mood beans

The thing about drawing is that it takes time. Dean works slowly while the magical world spins around him. Once Hermione offered to teach him how to make his work move and live like the portraits and photographs, but he refused. They make him dizzy sometimes, and he wants something in this world to stay the same.

He knows that he'll never be able to draw anything exactly the way it was, but as he softly traces the lines of Seamus's body, he hopes that he'll be able to capture at least a little bit of how it felt.

Oh, that's lovely. And I totally understand his desire to capture a moment and have it unchanging.

i love the concept of the magical world spinning around Dean while he works. it makes me think of some kind of very cool circular pan shot in a movie. and Hogwarts is such a big, kinetic place (all those staircases and everything!) that it's a really thought, someone just sitting still and observing and recording.

and the last sentence, <3.

staircases, portraits, books, newspapers, even candy refuses to stand still ;) quiet moments are to be treasured, i think. thank you!
