HP drabble: Giving Love
Title: Giving Love
Author: order_of_chaos
Rating: PG
Pairing: Implied Neville/James Jr
*
James gives the professor love with a determined ‘getting this over with’ mumble and a sullen flush of embarrassment on his cheeks. It’s the most hideously uncool thing he’s ever had to do, ever, and if his friends see him, he’ll just die. Dead. Professor Longbottom can use him as compost for the mandrakes.
But Neville smiles at him and thanks him as if he’s genuinely thankful, and James suddenly doesn’t mind so much.
The next time he gives the professor love is years later, and it’s not his mum’s love he’s giving but his own. And this time, he’s not the one that blushes.
