Dean nodded. "I think people were reluctant to just accept something they didn't have the same conviction in. I tried to talk to her about it, but..." Dean shrugged. It wasn't his fault Lavender didn't want to hear opposing views. He hadn't abandoned her or called her thoughts crazy, but she reacted to him - and to Seamus - as though they had. But when she started putting words in his mouth, he'd had to put his foot down. "I check in on her again. Hopefully it'll go better next time." He was hopeful, despite what Seamus had told him about their conversation earlier. "Maybe seeing what she saw will help."
Dean chuckled at that. "I didn't mean to imply he was. Just that I know full well how often he speaks before he thinks. I'm damage control," he said simply. He tilted his head at Michael. "I'm glad you're looking out for her though, Michael."
