Yet another piece for Houses Comp - AU, as always my dears. In this piece, I wanted to demonstrate the hilarity that every glasses-wearer experiences, the "ohmygod you wear glasses what", and the required explanation that follows.

Head of House for Ravenclaw, Drabble, Prompt: Glasses, WC: 355, AU

"Granger, what in Merlin's name are those horrifying things on your face?" Malfoy asks, my office door banging open as he enters unceremoniously, laughing. I roll my eyes, not bothering to turn in his direction. Today is not my day, which means he's going to be taking the piss for every single moment of it. "You look utterly ludicrous."

"Thank you for your kind words, Draco, but I really am not in the mood to deal with you today," I warned, not looking up from my mountains of paperwork. "They're glasses. They correct your vision if you have bad eyesight. I ran out of contacts - which are like tiny lenses you can put on your eyes."

Malfoy walks further into the room, seeming to examine my face in detail. "I'm not an imbecile Granger, I know what glasses are. Making fun of Potter's was a regular pastime of mine. But you've never worn them before." He peers closer and taps against the glass in front of my eyes, humming to himself in wonderment. "Did you damage your eyes overnight? You look odd now."

"You look odd all the time," I mutter, crossing through another line of the work. Some people I work with really have no idea how to file a report, so I am stuck reading through their shoddy lines of writing, making sure they're suitable. It's mad, honestly, given that I do actually have my own job to do, as well as doing theirs.

"You're wrong and you know it. I look like a Greek god."

I glance at him over my glasses and squint. Everything is blurry, but I just about make out his pose - like the Thinker.

"Hmm..." I murmur, almost closing my eyes. "Maybe like this."

"Rude."

Draco looks offended for a moment, as if I have somehow damaged his insanely huge ego. But then he laughs, sitting down on the edge of my desk and picking up half the papers on my desk to go through them on his own. I can practically feel him smiling as we settle into our daily routine.

I know, because I'm smiling too.
