    First post on the forums, yay?
    The summary of this one confuses me a little bit... the pairing has me downright worried.

    Was it really? It sounded pretty funky, seeing as Harry randomly takes Yuna's spot (when she's been trained her whole damn life to be a summoner). Even more so because he takes Yuna's spot in Tidus' eyes.

    Hogwarts list by twilightharrypotterfangirl
    Summary: Random
    Rated: M - English - Humor/Angst - Chapters: 1 - Words: 2,606 - Published: 7-14-10 - Harry P.

    Probably the worst candidate for this thread, because it essentially doesn't have a summary.

    My God, seriously, how do they get away with this? I thought FF.net was making an effort to get rid of this drivel! Or maybe I heard wrong...

    They can get rid of stories for having bad grammar and spelling. Beyond that, though, they can't do much else without upsetting too many people.

    When you look at some of the previous posts in this thread, you'd find painfully worse summaries.

    Voldemort/bella (twlight) is confusing, but Edward Cullen / Cedric Diggory would be just weird since it is the same actor. Just a random thought.

    At least he didn't pay fifty thousand Galleons for a custom made staff of power that no one since Merlin has wielded with an angel's heartstring as the core or some shit like that.

    They then attend lessons with the Man Who Does Not Wash His Hair, the Woman Who Is a Cat, the Man Who Is Small, and runs into the Caretaker Who Fails at Magic, prompting them to have a detention with the Half-Giant Who is a Thumpin' Good One, I Reckon.

    I remember +Anima... I never thought it was particularly good, though.
