Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. I am not making any money from this story.
Summary: “Sometimes he reaches for two plates at dinner.” Post-DH Weasley-centric drabble.
Rating: PG 
Warnings: DH spoilers
Genre: tragedy, angst
A/N: I wrote this right after DH came out and thought it might fit here.


Sometimes


Sometimes he pauses mid-sentence like he’s waiting for something. Ron tries to jump in and crack a joke, finish the sentence, but the words always feel forced and empty and he knows he didn’t say the exact right thing, even if he gets close sometimes. Close but no cigar, as the Muggles say. 

Sometimes he reaches for two plates at dinner, pausing awkwardly before he puts the second one back. Sometimes he orders two butter beers and then gives one to Ron as if he’d meant to do it all along. Sometimes his spells work half as well, last half as long. 

Ron pretends like he doesn’t notice. He takes the butter beer, accepts the second plate, but the beer and the meal always taste funny in his mouth, like they were meant for someone else’s tongue.

Harry Potter Misfit Fics

Welcome to hp_misfitfics!

Welcome to this little corner of the universe, dedicated to giving poor, neglected Harry Potter Gen fic the attention and readership it deserves.

Are you primarily a ship writer, but suddenly find yourself writing a non pairing specific piece and you don't have a community to share it with?

Well search no more!

All types of Harry Potter Gen Fic are welcome here. Character based pieces, plot or action based pieces, and friendship pieces are all appreciated and encouraged.

For the purposes of this community a Gen Fic is defined as any kind of fan fiction in which action and primary focus of the piece does not center around a romantic relationship.

The Mod reserves the right to refuse posts that do not fit our definition of a Gen Fic. If you have any questions about this policy, please contact [personal profile] star54kar
