James Potter x Gender Neautral! Reader
Drabble: James notices Y/N’s started wearing glasses and finds himself a little bit distracted.
James, as usual, couldn’t seem to stop going on about Lily. Even on this warm, Friday afternoon, as he and his friends walk through the corridors, looking for something to do, he rambles on.
“We get it, James,” Remus chuckles, “we’ve heard this about a billion times.”
“I would say this specific spiel is more like half a billion,” Sirius chuckles, slinging his arm over James’ shoulder as he nudges him, “he has a wide range of Lily-related topics he likes to bore us with after all,” Sirius laughs.
James pushes Sirius off of him, “I’m in love ok, let me be.”
“Ever one for the dramatics, prongs,” Remus chides, laughing along with Sirius.
Peter, dragging on behind them pipes up finally, “why are we just wandering around? I’m bored.”
Looking back at the whining boy Sirius rolls his eyes, “go find something to do then. We’re not here to put on a show.”
Peter huffs and turns away, starting to lag behind the group once again.
“Hey Y/N,” he yells suddenly, running off and out into the courtyard, over to where their friend is sitting reading a textbook. They look up and smile at the boy running towards them.
James feels his jaw drop without him even realising, looking over at their friend talking to Peter, admiring them. The way their legs cross over each other, the way they run their hand through their hair to smooth it out, the way they lean back and laugh at something Peter said.
And to top it off, those glasses. Oh, those glasses. James has never seen them wear them before, but the frames sit perfectly on their nose, framing their face, and for some reason, James can’t help but stare as his mind wanders.
Not for the first time he thought about kissing Y/N, laughing as his own glasses bump theirs as they lean in, imagining those beautiful eyes looking up at him, magnified by the lenses.
He’s yanked back into reality by a hand pulling at the back of his collar, turning to see himself centimeters away from a brick wall in front of him.
“Merlin mate, watch where you’re walking.”
He can’t even focus on Sirius’s comment, all he can bring himself to do is turn back to watch Y/N talk, marveling at the way they take their glasses off and rest them on top of their head.
“When did Y/N start wearing glasses?”

Fourth entry for the fest and it’s angsty. Thank you @frenchpresswriter for your diligent beta-reading <3

Dumbledore was old and weary, and he rubbed his eyes with only one hand. The other hand might have fallen off if he dared apply such pressure to it.
“You fool,” he muttered to himself: if he had not been tempted, he might have lived to see the end of the war. He allowed the stoic facade to crack when he was alone. To see the end of the war after all these years and all this work… he deserved that much, didn’t he? He’d had nothing else to gain from making it his personal business to destroy Lord Voldemort. Then again, one way or the other, to see the end of the war would be to see Severus die. It was so unfair for the old to bury the young, and how much more of this could he take?
For the old to bury the young. Heh. Gellert would have found it deliciously funny. It wasn’t fair at all, and yet in a sense, Albus had done just that: Severus was marked for death as sure as he was, and the odds were still in Riddle’s favour. It would take another miracle, Albus realized, and his only consolation was that miracles were rarely obvious. Of course they were not obvious in the sense that one anticipated them – everybody knew that. But so often, they weren’t obvious even as they were happening, even when they already happened.
He had thought, once, that Gellert’s arrival at the house next door was a miracle. Another wizard, his equal (and really, what were the odds), and a handsome one to boot. He had seized this miracle with both hands. If you hadn’t, you might have still had them. Gellert would have found that funny too. Everyone but Albus thought Harry Potter’s survival a miracle, but Albus knew it was an experiment, and it hardly counted as a miracle when a hypothesis, based on a well-founded theory, turned out to be correct. Dumbledore had always theorized on the power of love and on the power of choice, and Harry’s survival meant evidence. That was all.
The miracle had happened much before, and it looked like nothing much at the time. That a Death Eater could be brave enough to ask his master to spare a mother, the master being the type to murder an infant? That Riddle actually tried to deliver on his promise? For all your disgust, Albus, that ended up saving the world for at least ten years.
The miracle was Severus, not Harry, and again, Albus seized that miracle and never let it go. He wanted to care but he couldn’t afford to, because before long, they would all be dead.
A miracle, that a man so corrupted could love a childhood friend more than his own life. A miracle that a man so broken could face more danger and more death and yet complain only about the dunderheads that grew dumber every year.
Albus had told Harry that the prophecy being overheard had been a tragedy, but he knew the prophecy had waited for Severus just as much as it had waited for Albus himself. Only Severus could make it come true, and only Dumbledore could divine an interpretation that would give Harry and the Wizarding World a fighting chance when all was lost. Though it had not felt like a miracle when it had happened - not at all. It felt like a nuisance. Without his Pensieve, Albus might not even have remembered what the Prophecy had said at all.
The one with the power to vanquish the Dart Lord approaches… said while Severus Snape was approaching. Even Gellert might have found thatjoke to be in poor taste. In the end, Albus, you would have lost your right hand or your right-hand man. Now your right-hand man will lose you. That is all. A minor difference in the grand scheme of things. He closed his eyes.
It would have been easier for Severus to die for not killing me. His allegiance would have been known, at least, and he would have understood why, and I would have been able to help Harry, might have lived to see the end.If I hadn’t met Gellert a century ago, we might not have needed this many miracles.
Dumbledore downed a goblet of the golden potion that kept the curse contained. It went down smooth as fine scotch and warm as hot chocolate. Were it not for all these miracles, Severus might have been a world-famous healer.
Albus sighed, cleared his mind, and prepared himself for another private lesson with Harry.
hello people! i’m struggling a bit to get back into writing, so please!! send in some songfic request! i’m dying here T-T
And that’s all they wrote, folks!
We’ve come to the end of another amazing round of Ron/Draco Fest! I once again want to take a moment to thank each and every one of you who made this fest possible.

Title:Lay Back
Rating:NC-17
Summary:Seeing Ron like this, how was Draco to stop himself?
FIC
Title: Healer-Patient Privilege
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Never accept candy from Weasleys. Words to live by. Had Draco followed those wise words he wouldn’t be sitting in the waiting room of St Mungo’s, hugging a sick bucket right now. To add insult to injury, Healer Ron Weasley is on duty. Or: Draco’s friends are all terrible and he’d rather die than join in on their collective Gryffindor fascination. Honestly.
Title: Strike a Pose
Rating: NC-17
Summary: Struggling financially in the midst of his costly divorce, Ron runs into a muggle woman at a pub who offers to pay him generously if he poses nude for her pornographic website. Ron accepts on the condition of anonymity, only to find out when he arrives for the shoot that the photographer is none other than Draco Malfoy, who has changed since his Hogwarts days in ways that Ron never could have expected.
Title: Study in the Key of Weasley
Rating: R
Summary: Draco is over 30 and pretty much over participating in the world. First enters Scorpius, a stray Jack Russell terrier who won’t leave, and then Ron Weasley, after Millicent Bulstrode screens those who respond to Draco’s handyman ad in The Prophet. Can Draco still be himself if he finds comfort in both of these unexpected companions?
Title: You’re my teddy bear
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Ron comes home from work devastated. Good thing Draco is there to comfort him.
Title:A Bit of House Unity
Rating:PG-13
Summary:Draco absolutely hates the fact that Ron is dating a certain Hufflepuff. He’s determined to convince the redhead that he’d be better off with someone else. Specifically… Him.
Title:Another Shot
Rating:NC-17
Summary:Ron Weasley plays for the Chudley Cannons and takes part in a scantily clad charity photo shoot. What Ron didn’t know though when he agreed to take part in the event: Draco Malfoy takes the shots. And that really wouldn’t be much of a problem if it isn’t for the unfortunate fact that Ron and Draco had a one-night-stand at a wedding just a few weeks prior.
Title:Don’t fall
Rating:PG-13
Summary:Also be careful about DIY curse breaking. It all starts going downhill once you turn 28, apparently.
Title:the verge of losing you
Rating:PG-13
Summary:He has an hour left in his shift and Draco is finally enjoying some peace and quiet in the break room. He’s been at St. Mungos’ for eleven hours straight, hasn’t seen his husband in longer. He’s cranky, alright? He’s tired and his feet hurt deep enough that even spells don’t help. Now that he has the chance, even though he can leave in an hour, Draco is going to take it and lay down. Just his luck, however, that one of the Trainees knocks on the door and sticks her head in not even ten minutes later.
Title:An Unexpected Home
Rating:PG-13
Summary:When Draco feels like his world is crumbling down, he turns to the one person he knows he can count on.
Title:revelations soft and bright
Rating:NC-17
Summary:The war turned everything on its head, assigned new roles and made adults out of the impetuous youth. There is no right way to deal with that. Draco, though, Draco is doing it wrong. That’s okay—Ron is going to help him. They have all suffered enough.
Title:Well, I’ll Be Damned
Rating:G
Summary:You’ve got to be kidding me, Ron thought as he stared at the person behind the till, grey eyes staring back at him. He blinked once, twice, but the image didn’t change. There behind the counter was undoubtedly Draco Malfoy. TheDraco Malfoy. He would recognize that ferret anywhere. Ron frowned. He should have known. Waking up early on a day off was never a good thing.
We’ve come to the end of our second and final week of Ron/Draco Fest 2022! Thank you so much for everyone who participated - and to everyone who’s been following along with posting, we appreciate you more than you know!

Notes: There were some moments when I seriously doubted this fic would ever come to anything. The fact that it did wrap up nicely instead of spiralling into a mess of loose thread and unfinished sentences is due to several people. Thank you Lou, and your willingness to sacrifice hockey to my ignorance. Looking back, I’m not sure how I would have written that scene without you. Thank you lumosatnight for the lightning-fast beta and feedback. And finally a huge thank you fangqueen, for organising the fest to begin with and for being very patient with me.
