Summary

James Potter navigating changes in his life after a drastic change in his hearing loss leads to him using hearing aids for the first time since he was a child. Its daunting at first, and some unwelcome situations arise because of the change, but when the dust starts to settle James discovers there are things to enjoy in life he'd never thought possible. And that's how he falls in love with drumming. Maybe, one day, he'll fall in love with something (or someone) else.
OR a study in ableism, changes, and music where everyone is disabled, everyone is gay, Snape is a bully, and James likes looking at Regulus black.
