Love Interest: none

Personality:

She’s very anxious and startled easily. She spends most of her time in the library or her father’s office because barely anyone will bother her there. She gets panic attacks and her brother Rowley or her mother are usually the best at helping her calm down. She’s got sensory issues so things being too loud or bright will set her off. She’s sensitive and cries a lot, but books and soft blankets are usually the best things to soothe her tears. She’s very sweet and intelligent and will help someone with something if she’s asked.

Tell me about; I love you in many ways

💕

It is basically set about 10ish (give or take) years from when the final battle of hogwarts takes place. Grizzy has become an accomplished wandmaker and works alongside Garrick Ollivander (and got adopted). Harry has been getting THERAPY (bc he needs IT) and is coaching quidditch little league in the summers and just recently accepted the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor. So he needs a new wand and Garrick is always away, so it’s Grizzy who ends up working on it. (He remembers her from when she hit him with a bludger (Bc she was a beater) their 6th year). They strike up a friendship and start writing each other. They become closer sometime during this and start visiting one another. Then Garrick gets sick and Harry will pop by and help Grizzy out and just keeps making excuses to be there. Then something happens (spoiler) that ends up bringing them even closer together and then they confess their love for each other and happy ending

An accidental brush of lips followed by a pause and going back for another, on purpose.

—

Grizzy sat in the shop, sniffling. It was hers. Garrick has left the shop and his business...to her.

The tinkle of the door had her wiping the tears from her eyes, until she saw who it was.

Harry was standing in the doorway, looking right at her.

“Oh, Harry, didn’t- didn’t know you would be stopping by.”

“Judging by how the will reading went yesterday, I figured you’d need some company”

Griselda nodded, and Harry sat next to her.

“You do deserve this, you know?” He leaned his head on her shoulder, “you’ve earned it more than anyone else there has”

“I’m not sure-“

“Well, be sure. If Ollivander knew that, then you should too” he rested his hand on her forearm.

“I’ve been getting angry letters from his family all day”

“We can burn them, if you’d like” Harry mumbled, “burning letters works”

Griselda let out a wet laugh, “I guess you’re right”

“I’m always right”

Grizzy turned her head to give him a look, only to notice he’d lifted his head, causing her lips to lightly brush against his.

It was quick, and unexpected. Her lips tingled as she moved back, her fingers lifting to touch her mouth. Harry was still, his expression one of surprise.

“I-“ Harry started, before Grizzy leaned forward, her hand moving to his jaw, to kiss him. It didn’t take long for him to kiss back, his hand resting on hers, a grin on his lips.

Leander Ollivander-Potter

House: Slytherin

Blood Status: ??? (Adopted)

Place of Birth: somewhere in Ireland

Career Path: Probably something in demolitions

Sport: dueling club

Likes: mischief, catching and releasing creatures with lark, fairies, walking with Rowley, pulling pranks on Juniper, running, dancing, explosions

Dislikes: when he’s not allowed to do “fun” things, rules, disappointing explosions, seagulls

Favorite Classes: potions, alchemy(later), ghoul studies

Physical Quirks/Scars: moves like a snake in the grass, surprisingly light footed, scar on his mouth when he was attacked by a seagull when he was little

Speech: higher pitched, stumbles over his words because he talks so fast, can’t understand half of what he says bc he’ll switch topics in the middle of a sentence

Wand: Pine, Phoenix, 13 3/4", Pliant

Patronus: Hippogriff

School Pet: rock named salsby and a black cat named Orion

Family: Harry Potter (father), Griselda Ollivander (mother, OC, wandmaker), Rowley Ollivander-Potter (+3 years, Slytherin), Juniper Ollivander-Potter (+1 year, Ravenclaw)

Friends: Lark Weasley-Price(OC), Rowley, Lachlan Weasley (v oc)

Love Interest: none

Personality:

Chaotic, mischievous. Harry was convinced at one point Leander was part imp(and he was right). He loves causing chaos and has the attention span of a gnat. Lark is honestly a bit of a bad influence on him and those two together are just unbelievably chaotic and wild. He’s somewhat of an evil genius in a way that Harry had to monitor him for a little while to make sure he wasn’t going to get out of hand, but he’s very much not harmful in the dark wizard way. Follows Rowley around the forbidden forest and has scared half the living beings there. Talks to the fae a bit too much.

“I can’t stop thinking about you.” Hizzy

Griselda was about to close the shop, when the overhead bell rang. She looked towards the door to see Harry Potter standing, frozen, and panting.

“Harry?”

Harry snapped out of it and strode towards the desk, determined. Griselda tilted her head.

“What-“

“I can’t stop thinking of you.”

Griselda’s brows raised, “uh-what?”

“I can’t-cant stop thinking about you.”

“That must be unpleasant-“

“I’m serious, Grizzy.”

Griselda’s features softened, “oh” she took a breath, “that’s-unexpected.”

“Was it?”

“What do you mean by, can’t stop thinking about me?”

Harry’s shoulder’s slumped,

“What? I’d like to know.”

“Griselda-“

“Don’t Griselda me-“

“Grizzy.”

“Mhm?”

Harry pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose, “I can’t get your face out of my head. Your eyes, your smile, your nose-your freckles-“ he rambled on, completely missing the smile spreading on Griselda’s face.

“Your laugh, the way you say hello-“

“Harry-“

“Stop me, I’ll go on-“

“I get it-“

“Your-oh.” Harry’s shoulders relaxed.

“You might have a residency in my noggin” Griselda knocked on her head lightly with a sly smile, “I just wanted to see how long you could go...I’m flattered.”

Harry grinned at her, before patting his pockets and pulling out a letter in his coat.

“Here” he placed it on the counter between them.

“Sending me letters again? Haven’t gotten one from you in quite some time” Griselda’s fingertips touched the edge of the rumpled envelope.

“I think it would be better if I sent it in person.” Harry’s fingers lingered on the letter before he drew them away.

“ answer it whenever you feel like it.” He gave her a crooked smile before heading out the door.

As soon as he was out of sight, Griselda ripped at the envelope, and pulled out the folded parchment inside. A wide grin spread across her face as she read the words, before she grabbed her own pen and ink.

Harry stood ten feet in front of the door, his back facing it, unable to move. He could feel his heartbeat in his ears and his palms felt sweaty even if it was freezing outside.

The small twinkle of a shop bell sounded behind him, followed by hurried footsteps and a tap on his shoulder. He whirled around to see Griselda, holding out the folded parchment.

Harry took it gently from her and she gave him a small wave before walking back into her shop.

As the door closed behind her, he ran his thumb over the edge of the folded parchment.

After taking a deep breath, he opened it.

The letter contained six words, three on top of the other, mirroring each other, in two different penmanships.

Harry could feel his cheeks hurting from how wide he was grinning. He gently folded the letter and put it back in his pocket before looking at the shop.

Griselda leaned against the front desk, tapping her foot, waiting for something to happen, though she wasn’t sure what.

The overhead bell rang once more as Harry barged in, wearing a smile so brilliant she couldn’t help but smile back.

grizzy

-the only thing she has from when she was young is a little figurine made of jade from a lady on the street in diagon alley

-had to learn how to sew to make her clothes

-meets Ollivander when she’s 9 years old and is instantly attached

-Ollivander takes her under his wing when she’s 10 (he helps her make her own wand so her first wand is a little bit shoddy looking)

-learned about Quidditch through reading a little of Quidditch through the ages each time she went into the book shop (and asked questions in the Quidditch shop)

-she’s actually p smart and has read at least half-3/4 of flourish and blotts books by the time she’s graduated hogwarts

-the ice cream parlour gives free ice cream to the orphanage every Tuesday so that has become her favorite day, ice cream or not

-Ollivander tried to set her up with Harry before he died but they were both not ready for anything yet and didn’t know they liked each other like that yet

-she thought Harry was a prat up until her fifth year

-she nearly strangles Malfoy when she (somehow) finds out Ollivander went missing bc of death eaters

Love Interest: none

Personality:

Like many of the next gens, he likes to wander around the forbidden forest. He’s managed to befriend both the centaurs and spiders and no one knows how he was able to do so. He really likes nature, and creatures, and he likes to be as close to them as he can. He has a meticulous collection of magic and non magic insects that the spiders and centaurs have helped him build. Around people, he’s a little broody, “mysterious”(he’s just awkward tbh), and quiet. He can be snarky and sarcastic when he wants to be. He only wears converse or creepers and when he gets older he probably has the best fashion sense out of the bunch

#24 with a pair of your choosing?

24. “Uh–why am I wearing your shirt? I think it looks good on me?”

—

Griselda came out of her room to see Harry sitting on the couch, eating soup, and reading the morning news.

“Morning”

“Oh! You’re awake!” He grinned back at her, soup dribbling down his chin and onto his shirt, “shit” he hastily grabbed his wand and cleaned it.

“Yes, I-what are you wearing?” She moved closer, squinting.

“I-“

“Harry, is that my shirt? Why are you wearing my shirt?”

“Why am I wearing your shirt? I think it looks good on me” He smoothed it down and smiled, before posing.

“What am I going to do with you” she shook her head, smiling, before sitting next to him, “don’t spill anything else on it, or I’ll hex you”

“See, you always threaten the hex, but the hex never comes. Admit it, you love me”

“I wouldn’t let you live with me if I didn’t” Harry pressed his thumb into the dimple on her cheek before kissing her temple.

“And I’m so glad for that”

[waterloou]

30. “I never knew you were a romantic at heart” w/hizzy

Harry walked in to see candles lit at the table, lighting the two plates of food, and rose petals scattered around them.

“Oh, you’re here. Good” Grizzy took his hand and led him to the table, “I made your favorite”

“You charmer” he smiled down at the food, before looking up at her, “and rose petals?”

“Figured it would seem romantic”

“I never knew you were a romantic” his smile grew into a grin.

“At heart”

“Hmm” he leaned over and kissed her cheek, “well it’s seeping out. Careful, others might see-“

“Hmm, maybe I can eat both of these plates-dunno what you’ll eat-“ Grizzy moved his plate over to her, teasing.

“Oi, no! I am very appreciative of this gesture!” Harry rested his hand on hers, “my honey bear”

Grizzy scrunched up her nose, “oh don’t drop the pet names”

“My dove-“

“Harry-“

“My dearest-“

“No-“

“My darling-“

“You’re pushing your luck-“

“I’m not too proud to grovel. Besides. We’re being romantic today, aren’t we?”

Grizzy sighed, “yes”

“Then my darling dearest can you please pass me the lovely dinner you worked on?”

Grizzy fought the smile that threatened to appear.

“Is that a smile?” He poked his finger at the corner of her lips, “I see a smile”

“Perhaps”

[waterloou]

46. “Dance with me.” Hizzy

Griselda was closing up shop when Harry appeared in the window, his face pressed against the glass.

“Grizzy, let me in” his voice was muffled.

“You do realize you can pop in, this is your house too?”

“But I wanna come in through the door” his mouth stretched into a wide grin.

Grizzy sighed and unlocked the door, only to be nearly tackled by her fiancé.

“Darling!” He greeted, holding her round the waist and spinning her around.

“Hello!” She giggled as he peppered her face with kisses.

He shut the door behind them and rested his forehead against hers.

“What’s got you in a good mood?”

“I’ve got the most marvelous news!”

“Well, What is it?”

“I got the job!”

“The job-the defense against the dark arts position?-“

“Yes!” He picked her up and spun her around, “This calls for a celebration! Dance with me!”

Grizzy kissed him gleefully as he set her down.

“Set the mood?”

Grizzy waved her wand and a twinkling tune slowly drifted through the shop.

“My favorite song” Harry smiled, and twirled her before pulling her close again, resting their foreheads together.

“When did you learn how to dance?”

“When I realized Winnie would make me dance for the wedding”

“That would also mean I would have to dance”

“And you’re a terrible dancer”

Grizzy laughed as she stepped on his foot.

“See? Terrible!” Harry laughed with her and spun them round and round until the two collapsed on the floor in a heap of giggles.
