There Was Only One Car Seat
Ron stares at Harry incredulously. “You’re serious?”
“Yep.”
Well, that sounded pretty definitive, but Ron still can’t quite believe it. “Absolutely, totally, one-hundred percent sure?”
“Completely.” Harry dangles the keys right in front of Ron’s face. “Now do you want to drive the bloody car or not?”
It’s a good point. Ron snatches the keys out of his best friend’s hand before Harry can change his mind. He’s been waiting for this opportunity for almost five months. Five whole months since Harry’s seventeenth birthday. Five whole months since Harry’s absolutely loaded and ridiculously generous godfather gifted him the car in question.
But it isn’t just any car. No, it’s a 1.8 litre Mazda MX-5 Phoenix Special Edition MX-5 two-seater soft-top roadster, in gleaming black, with sienna-brown full leather interior, fifteen-inch low profile alloy wheels, 146-brake horsepower, nought to sixty in 8.2 seconds. It’s an absolute wet-dream of a car, and ever since the first time Ron laid eyes on it, he’s longed to drive it.
Harry has always flatly refused.
Ron understands. Really, he does, because there are good reasons for Harry’s refusal. The main one is that Harry’s parents (well, Ron suspects mainly his mother) have absolutely forbidden it, along with any other even slightly dubious (aka fun) behaviour behind the wheel. As Harry tells it, she wasn’t at all happy that Sirius gave Harry the car in the first place, and she’s threatened to confiscate the keys if she ever gets even a hint of anything untoward going on.
Which, now Ron comes to think of it, makes this sudden change of heart more than a little bit suspicious.
“Why now?” He’s kicking himself even as the words come out of his mouth, because heaven forbid Harry changes his mind.
Harry shrugs. “Call it festive spirit. You drive us there, I’ll drive us home.”
Ron isn’t sure that ‘festive spirit’ really covers it, but he isn’t going to argue. The important thing is that he gets to drive Harry’s car to the Hogwarts college sixth form Christmas party. He was happy enough when Harry declared himself designated driver for the evening, but now Ron gets to pull up in front of the pub that’s hosting them for the evening, climb out of the sexiest car known to man and saunter into the pub in front of all his classmates like an absolute king.
He really hopes that Hermione’s around to see it.
Speaking of Hermione, Ron’s hoping tonight is the night; her parents are away at some dental convention for the weekend, and she’s made a point of explaining that she’ll have the house to herself.
“Assuming I’m coming back here, obviously,” he points out, aware that he sounds more than a little smug, and not giving even the tiniest bit of a shit about it, because tonight is shaping up to be the best night of his life.
Harry just smirks at him. “Yeah well. I’ll be rooting for you.”
Ron doesn’t reply. With a sigh of satisfaction, he opens the door and slides into the driver's seat. He takes his time adjusting the seat, the steering wheel and the mirrors for his taller frame, enjoying every single second, but soon enough he’s ready to go—and now that he’s ready, he wants to get on with it.
Harry, though, is still loitering on the battered concrete forecourt outside the Burrow, the farmhouse that Ron has called home his whole life. What the hell is he waiting for? Ron opens the passenger door window (electric, of course! What a luxury! He’s far more used to getting a decent upper arm workout wrestling with the manual winders on the Weasley’s elderly landrover) so that he can encourage his best mate into the car when the front door to the house opens and Ginny skips down the steps.
“Sorry!” she declares. “I didn’t keep you waiting long, did I?”
Ron’s surprised to see her. “I didn’t think you were coming.”
“I wasn’t. But Harry talked me into it.”
Ginny picks her way towards them across the uneven concrete in her knee-high heeled boots. She’s wearing a glittery black mini dress that skims the top of her thighs and she’s put tinsel in her hair. “That dress is a bit short, isn’t it?”
She sticks her tongue out at him. “Like that’s any of your business. And don’t let Hermione hear you saying crap like that if you want to get laid tonight.”
Ron flicks a finger at her—and then a thought occurs to him. “Wait a minute. You didn’t think Harry was giving you a lift, did you?”
“Yes?” she says, slowly and loudly, as though she’s talking to someone extremely stupid.
“But there are only two seats!”
“Yes Ron. I can count, thank you very much,” she shoots back. “I’ll sit on Harry’s knee.”
Ron can’t help but laugh, because there is no way that Harry is going to risk his future use of the car by breaking not one but two of his mother’s inviolable rules on one night—except Harry is already climbing into the passenger seat next to Ron, and doesn’t object when Ginny positions herself on top of him. “We’re only going two miles,” he says. “Just don’t crash.”
This is bloody typical, thinks Ron—Ginny’s always got away with shit like this, her entire life. He shakes his head in disgust as they attempt to fasten the seatbelt around the pair of them, a process that takes far longer and much more irritating giggling than Ron thinks is strictly necessary.
But, finally, they’re ready to go. Ron puts his foot on the clutch, turns the key in the ignition and feels the engine roar to life. A huge smile spreads over his face. Yes, tonight is going the be the best night of his life.
It never occurs to him that it might just turn out to be Harry’s too.

A Hinny microfic, using @ginnystrophyhusband April-May-June prompt 15: Green (albeit very tenuously!)
535 words, rated Gen
The first of September 1991 is a momentous day for Ginny Weasley.
She expects it to be, because it’s the day when the last of her big brothers heads off to school and leaves her all alone.
Which sucks.
But—much to her surprise and delight, the 1st of September 1991 turns out to be momentous for a much better reason than that, because on 1st September 1991, Ginny meets him.
Harry Potter!
The Harry Potter, the one she’s read about and talked about and dreamed about for practically her whole life. Not that he spoke to her or anything, but she saw him. He was there right in front of her, the actual, real, him, he spoke to her mum and her brothers and everything!
On the second of September, when she’s alone and bored, this is what inspires her to come up with a new way to fill her time. After all, she has so much more time to fill now that she doesn’t have Ron to play with. Or argue with.
First, she steals two of her mother’s old wooden clothes pegs. Then, she fetches her box of crayons and carefully decorates them, concentrating hard, tongue poking out just a fraction in the way that Ron would tease her for, if he was here.
She gives one of the pegs orange hair and brown eyes. The other receives black hair and green eyes, and a lightning shaped scar on his forehead.
Ginny is very proud of them
After she’s spent a suitable amount of time admiring her handiwork, she settles on the rag rug on the floor of her bedroom with her brand new Harry-and-Ginny clothes peg dolls and plays with them all afternoon.
It is glorious.
She pretends that Harry becomes her best friend, and they play quidditch together. She pretends that Harry is a brave hero who rescues her from a terrible monster. But her very favourite thing is when she pretends that Harry Potter is her boyfriend.
“Ginny!” says the Harry-peg, in Ginny’s best Harry-voice. “There is something I have to say to you!”
“Really, Harry? What is that?” asks the Ginny-peg.
“You are the most amazing-est girl in the whole world, Ginny, and I am in love with you!” declares the Harry-peg. “Please will you marry me, as soon as possible?”
“Oh Harry!” swoons the Ginny-peg. “Of course I will marry you!”
The Harry-peg jumps up and down with excitement. “Great! I will get a ring, and we will have a wedding!”
As Ginny makes the Harry-peg kiss the Ginny-peg, she wonders if one day, the real Harry Potter might play quidditch with her, or fight a monster for her, or fall in love with her.
Smiling, she tucks the Harry-peg and the Ginny-peg in her pocket and heads to the linen cupboard. Maybe she can find a white handkerchief that she could fashion into a wedding dress for the Ginny-peg?
Unfortunately, she is interrupted by her mum, calling from the kitchen; it’s time for dinner, so the great handkerchief heist will have to wait until tomorrow. Ginny sighs happily. The third of September is going to be a busy day; after all, she’s got a wedding to plan.

For our writers
It's time to start on your angst to fluff/fluff to angst fic! Let's go!
Stupid fest question - I have a canon compliant remix fic ready. Can I post it to the collection now? Or do I wait for the deadline?
And I also have a canon divergent one ready too - when can I post that? As soon as the writing window opens?
That's not a stupid question at all! Yes canon compliant fics that are ready can be added to the collection
Yes, also for the canon divergent and following themes is they can be posted as soon as the previous theme is revealed, so that would be right around the start of the writing time for that theme indeed.
Keeping them separate like that is just easier when we do the reveals because then we can assume all unrevealed fics can be revealed at that time and it saves us having to check in detail or accidental early reveals 😁
