![[info]](https://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) bethbethbeth: FIC: "Burrowing" for lyras
Recipient: Lyras lyrasAuthor: ??? Title: Burrowing Rating: PG / Teen Pairings: Arthur Weasley/Molly Weasley Word Count: @3,000 Warnings/Content Information (Highlight to View): * Dealing with the death of a loved one.*. Summary: Fred's death hits the Weasley family hard. Author's Notes: Lyras provided wonderful prompts and it was hard to choose. In the end, several of her suggestions were used in creating this 'slice of life' featuring Molly and Arthur. While Lyras said that she didn't mind if the angst was piled on to them, I like to think of this as the two of them stepping in it without becoming buried. ( Burrowing )

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!)

beholder_mod: FIC: "Records are for Keeping" for regan_v
Recipient: regan_vAuthor: florahartTitle: Records are for Keeping Rating: PG-ish (I can't explain it either) Pairing: Irma Pince/Silvanus Kettleburn Warnings/Content Information (Highlight to View): * Nothing to speak of.* Summary: There is no spell to account for people trying to take things from the library unnoticed. Irma sets out to fix that. Author's Notes: The first name for Kettleburn comes from Beedle the Bard. We have no canon whatsoever for Pince's actual age or house (or Kettleburn's, although BB indicates he has been around since the era in which Tom Riddle was a student), so I am making her relatively new to Hogwarts in that same timeframe. My apologies for lack of smut; Silvanus didn't want to be too forward. ( Records are for Keeping )

Summary: It takes more than four Stunners to the chest to take down Minerva McGonagall. Author's Notes: Bits of dialog from JKR's Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix were lifted for the making of this story and are presented in bold type. I tried to incorporate therealsnape's likes for teacher fic, missing moments from canon, canon re-told with a twist, Minerva McGonagall, and women being awesome in the gift. ( Face on by Daylight )
