Why this must be read: This was written for the 2009 [profile] hp_spring_fling and is just plain hilarious. Set post-War and told from the point of view of Albus Severus, it provides a fabulous picture of the extended Potter-Weasley family post-war. Albus Severus dreads having to attend a Ministry event honoring the Weasleys, not the least because the bane of his existence -- and not so secret crush -- will be there. Funny and cute and sexy as hell, this is an entertaining one-shot. Albus is written with a sarcastic and deft hand and his observations on his family are hilarious.

Ministry events were the absolute worst thing about being a Potter.

Next to being James' brother, of course. But, I think that's pretty irrelevant because as much as I would just as soon lose James in a sea of flesh eating pixies, I can't because Mum would flip an ovary, and Dad would go ape shit Auror on everyone, and my life would suck. Ministry events, on the other hand are something that I loathe and wish, beyond all natural hope, that I will one day never have to attend. But until Mum stops insisting we go, I have to go. Not because I live in her house or some other hogwash, but mostly because she gets this wild look in her eye when she informs us kids of the function we have to attend, and I'm afraid she might lose it one day if any of us did more than bicker and complain about it.

I mean, Dad's a bad ass hero and everything, but Mum has eyes in the back of her head and hormones that are prone to uncontrollable magic. All of which is hilarious if someone other than me is on the receiving end, but even then, I think about what if it was me and it's not very funny anymore. I'm not stupid; I know the tides could turn against me at any moment.
