HoggywartyXmas-Recs
Every year I think, the posts at the fest https://hoggywartyxmas.livejournal.com/ could not be matched in matters of excellent ideas and wonderful style the next time around, but every new edition of the fest proves me wrong, as there are stories again that cover new characters and background-stories one did not know one was missing until reading them :-).
This season my favourites in this respect would be:
"The Touch": Ollivander is taught by his grandfather about the details of his family trade; PG; https://hoggywartyxmas.livejournal.com/115505.html
"A Fine Romance": retired Ollivander is setting up an Antique Bookstore with his school-Sweetheart Augusta; G; https://hoggywartyxmas.livejournal.com/113610.html
"Sufficient Unto the Day": Minerva's widowed Father visits for the Holidays at Hogwarts; PG 13; https://hoggywartyxmas.livejournal.com/111730.html
