FIC: "Choosing the Wizard" for synn
Recipient: synn
Author: albalark
Title: Choosing the Wizard
Rating: PG
Pairings: Garrick Ollivander/Rubeus Hagrid
Word Count: 14,390
Warnings/Content Information (Highlight to View): *[None]*.
Summary: Garrick Ollivander is a lost soul after everyone leaves Muriel’s house to go fight in the Battle of Hogwarts. How will he fit back into a world where he feels responsible for handing Voldemort the ultimate deadly weapon?
Author's Notes: Beta’d by my dear friend B, who is, I am sure, regretting her rash offer to beta this story, since she got it over a weekend when both of her boys were sick. Thank you, my dear, you went above and beyond the call. Any remaining mistakes are my own bloody fault.
I hope this fic is to your liking synn, though I profusely apologize for the lack of pr0n. The two main characters had a long, plotty story to tell and by the time they were done, I ran out of both time and room (see the ridiculous word count). It is a bit angsty, though I don’t think it’s excessively so, but I think you will like the ending. :-)

	exhales That was utterly delightful! From this pitch-perfect Luna to Severus/Minerva to the role Hagrid played in that last year (how much do I LOVE that you made him into Severus' confidant!) and all the rich details you scattered throughout... I thoroughly enjoyed this story. And the wand lore was brilliant. I love wand lore. happy sigh Bravo! (Reply to this) (Thread)

Thank you Alisanne, I am so glad you liked this! It makes me happy that in particular you thought Luna came out well. Other than Severus and Minerva, I'd never written any of these characters before, and I was worried most about Luna. She is so hard to get right without seeming either underdone or over the top. And I'm always happy to know another wandlore geek! *g*

Thanks again for your lovely comment, dear, it is much appreciated!
