I'm just overwhelmed by how many are reading Seeing Fred and even better loving it. Thank you for reading, voting, and making amazing comments.
I'm just posting this for anyone with questions about Seeing Fred—just a little Q&A. You can ask any question about the story in the comments. If it's just for some info or on why I chose a certain approach, just shoot. ;-D
So, ask away!
Here are the first questions:
Q: Did Leah ever let her depressed students see their dead loved ones as closure?
A: Hmm, I never really thought about it until you asked to be honest. But my guess is yes. I would definitely see her share her gift with young kids who have a hard time losing someone. I lost someone too and I would give everything just to see her again.
Q: Did Leah ever find the courage to contact Addie?
A: Yes! It was my plan to add it to the epilogue but it got lost somewhere. If I finally find the inspiration to write a short story or another epilogue, this will definitely be in it.
Q: Did Leah and Fred have any kids? If yes, then can you give the names
A: They did have kids! And I have actually been thinking of writing a short story or second epilogue to show you guys. ;-)
Q: Was it always the plan for Leah to be the descendant of Godric Gryffindor? And did you always plan to end it that way? No wedding or kids for us to read about.
A: No, that just came to me before I wrote that chapter actually 😅 I had a plan to make her a descendant from another famous wizard (I don't remember who, oops) but I went with my gut feeling. In the very beginning it was the idea for Leah to be a muggle.
Q: What led you to write this fanfic? Did you have any stories or fanfiction that you read that inspired you to write a story like this?
A: Before this I read a lot of Fred/Hermione fics, wrote a couple too. And a lot of the stories were about saving Fred. (Obviously :p) Adn that this just came to me. But I wanted something different. I think the idea came after I read Mischief Revived on AO3 from Moonyfairy13.
Q: Why did Hermione end up with George and not Ron, I mean it's your story but what was the idea behind it ???
A: This is an easy one to answer. I don't like Hermione and Ron together. When I was younger, I thought they were cute but now as a grown-up, I know better. Their relationship is rather toxic and they would have broken up anyway. So I rather write them not together at all, instead of a whole mess between them.
Q: How did Addie die? And why does Leah blame herself for it?
A: Addie died when she and Leah played in the woods. She fell into the water when they were playing hide-and-seek. She got hypothermia. By the time help arrived, it was too late.
Q: What is the extent of Leah's sight magic? Like how long is the time limit to contact the dead after she's mastered it?
A: She needs to be able to hold another's hand to be able to see a loved one. And the more people are added to her power, alive or dead, the shorter the time limit is. Because even after mastering it, it still takes power from her magic. Too much will always be dangerous.
