Of Various Woods

[Gaius Ollivander]

11/14

Gaius had spent his time after work alternating between embarrassment and indecision. Even he was not quite sure what he was doing, and he really was not fond of the floo network anyways, and if that entire encounter in Ollivander's had him so unsure of himself what would being alone with Ozias Lovegood do to him?

Of course there was always his perpetual, damned curiosity. Mr. Ozias Lovegood was interesting and Gaius had always liked interesting, new people - this was why he was in love with Rosalie and why he was friends with Anders Howe .

So when the time came Gaius had steeled his nerves, stepped in his fireplace, and threw the fistful of floo powder at his feet. "Lovegood Residence, Irvingly!" he spoke clearly, and before he knew it he was hurtling through the network of fireplaces and remembered exactly why he hated the floo network.

Gaius stumbled from the fireplace with after brushing the ash off of his pants.
