![[info]](https://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) bethbethbeth: FIC: "Choosing the Wizard" for synn
Recipient: synn Author: albalarkTitle: 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. :-) Choosing the Wizard(Don't forget to return to this page to leave feedback for the author!)

Now if only he could get the team's new Healer, Marietta Edgecombe, to see that too. Author's/Artist's Notes: anguis_1, it was a pleasure writing for you – I'd never written either of these characters before, so it was a great experience to try my hand at both of them. I hope you like the results. Much gratitude and thanks to my incredible brain stormers and hand holders: R & K & K2 & M, all of whom helped me figure out the whos as well as the wherefores and whys of this fic, and wouldn't let it defeat me, and my betas: K & K2 (again!) plus J for making it so much better than it was. And of course, much love to our ever-patient mod, bethbethbeth, who puts up with my tardiness year after year. ( Behind The Masks )

Author's Notes: Thanks to my speedy betas. Mostly book canon used, though some personal fanon might have slipped in there. Note that canonically (or at least per the HP Lexicon), it is believed that Elfrida Cragg was a typo in the book and that in OoTP, the portrait was supposed to be of Elfrida Clagg. I declare writer's privilege to hereby create a new character whom you shall meet anon. Happy Beholding, shadowycat!
