Summary: Teddy has been looking forward to spending the summer with the Potters. He was not prepared for the force of nature that is one James Sirius Potter.
Excerpt: You were unprepared for this to happen. It was just supposed to be a nice summer vacation in a beach house with the Potters, a well earned break from your hectic work as an Unspeakable. You had envisioned lazy days spent in the sun, bathing, drinking beer and reconnecting with Lily and Albus (and Scorpius, who always seems to come with the package). You had imagined spending the evenings catching up on your reading, or playing board games, talking to Harry and Ginny long into the nights about everything and nothing.
The first week lulled you into the safety of their domestic life, everyone so happy to get you to sit down for more than a few minutes, to get to know you again in a way.
You weren’t prepared for the force of nature that is James Sirius Potter.
Yes, you’ve heard his matches on the wireless, distantly following his career as a professional Quidditch player in France. The two of you have even exchanged letters here and there, yours always apologetic about how little time you have to write something longer, his always blotted with ink as if he’s been eager to get the words down as soon as possible, not even bothering with a spell check charm. But words on parchment and match commentaries can’t convey the metamorphosis that James has gone through. The year spent abroad, the countless training sessions and games, have made him stronger, taller, fiercer. He’s not the same little boy that used to follow you around everywhere, demanding your undivided attention and your stories. He’s a man now. A man you can’t take your eyes off of, a man you can’t stop thinking about.
The sight of James, beautiful, boisterous James, when he arrives a week into your vacation like a whirlwind, takes your breath away. You realise your life has been black and white and greyscale up until now, and James is the colour that you have so desperately been craving.
Initially you try to brush it off as a stupid crush. Everyone seems to have a crush on James, Scorpius included even though he’s with Albus, why should you be an exception? But the more time you spend with him, the more you understand that you want to be with him all the time, you can’t get enough of him.
The way he seems so comfortable in his body makes you relax, and you realise your shoulders have been hitched up at least an inch, you don’t even know for how long. You like yourself more when you’re around him, he makes you more interesting. His focus and questions as you tell him about your work makes you see it in a new light, makes you appreciate it further.
It frightens you more than you want to admit.
But it doesn’t matter that it feels completely wrong, that you’re worried about how Harry will react to the fact that you can’t stop thinking about what you want to do with his son. You are utterly and completely lost.

Summary: In this AU where Cedric doesn’t die in the Goblet of Fire, Ron and Harry’s friendship is tested by the secret Harry is keeping. A secret that’s threatening to make itself known with every steamy letter Cho and Cedric send Harry while he stays with the Weasleys.
Summary: Arthur felt a stirring in his loins as he watched Molly cook them breakfast. His thoughts were so consumed with Lucius, with whom he was having an affair, that Arthur was uncertain who or what precisely caused the stirring. All he knew was that he wanted to have sex, and he wanted to have it now.
