AN: This is written for, The Golden Snitch, World Sight Day Event. The prompt is: Write about a character too embarrassed or stubborn to wear their glasses. My school and house are, Hogwarts, Slytherin.


"Draco Lucius Malfoy! Get up here this instant!" Shouted Hermione Malfoy, Draco's wife. Once again, his glasses that he was required to wear at all times, were sitting atop their bathroom sink.

"Yes? What requires you to shout like a banshee while I'm entertaining your daughter?" Retorted Draco when he finally arrived in their bedroom.

"I want you to explain to me, why exactly your glasses are sitting on that counter, and not on your face? And don't play the your/my daughter game right now, Mister," she asked.

Mumbling Draco started with, "I know something that can sit on my face," before speaking up, "They hurt, alright you bloody woman? They make me look stupid, and undignified. They make me look old."

"OLD! You would rather retain what youth you still have, instead of keeping your eyesight strong and healthy? Hah! You're lucky that blonde hair hasn't turned grey yet! Get your glasses on, or tonight, you won't see the present that good husbands who listen get!"

Practically rushing to get his glasses back on, Draco gave his wife a peck of a kiss and returned back downstairs, where their 27-year-old daughter was waiting with her two kids.

"Mom set you straight? Once again? You know Dad, that little Orion here needs glasses as well, and it would mean a lot to the both of us, if you actually wore your glasses full time now? After all, Grandfather day is coming up soon, and you would want to set a good example to your grandkids about responsibility and maintaining a healthy eyesight, wouldn't you?" Explained Lyra.

"What am I? Chopped liver? Now I'm getting reprimanded by you! Who's next?" Said Draco, before leaning down to pick up three-year-old Orion. "Are you going to get onto Grandpa too?"

With the only response he got was, "Play with me," Draco decided it was better to wear his glasses, besides, he can't really see without them now, and he would never give up a chance to play with any of his grandchildren.
