This is utterly brilliant. Everything fits so perfectly; Garcia as a witch and her sparkly pen wand, grown up Auror!Harry, Hotch as a long-lost Black, the explanation for Hotch's severe perfectionist tendencies and probable child abuse, Jack manifesting magic. It's true to both canons - because Garcia has to be something supernatural - and is very well written.

Thank you so much for writing this unlikely crossover!

Thank you! it did come together quite well in the end - something about the unlikeness of the situation making it work, strangely enough :)

Awesome: "Contrary to popular opinion around the office, Erin Strauss is not a witch."

This was great.

[mhalachaiswords]

that was actually the first line for this story that came to me, after I set my mind to writing it :D it had to be said, really.

Very cool. Harry Potter is my first love and CM is my most recent addiction, having them melded together like this is pretty darn awesome. If you ever feel like writing more of this crossover we'd all love to read it!

Thanks! I am a recent convert to CM as well (if you can say a year or so is recent), and I enjoyed mashing it up with HP :)

This is absolutely wonderful--I love it! As with all your stories, I would love to see more of it if you are so inspired.

[mhalachaiswords]

Thank you so much for your kind words :)

[beatrice_otter]

You're welcome! Seriously, you could write anything and I would at least try it--I love your stuff. (Would prefer not AB because I'm not an AB fan, but I've loved everything of yours I've ever read

This? Is beyond awesome! I hope you're inspired to write more!

Garcia and Jack were adorable! I thought Aaron's reaction to being a squib was nicely done, it's not something I really see being explored in other fics, so it was nice to read.

The explanation of having witches and wizards across the country in the FBI is probably far more entertaining than it should be!

Thanks for sharing :)

Thank you! Having Garcia be a witch was, well, the most obvious thing in the world once the crossover 'verses were set. And Jack is so adorable, and Aaron is so good with him :)
