    :facepalm looking for a story about the Gaunts, came across this treasure;

    More like 4 words of total summary fail. The best thing about which is that the story is actually 14 words long and, in being so, is 14 words too long.


    Sneaking suspicion this might be a repost. Apologies if it is, but this much fail crammed into so short a summary deserves at least a double mention.

    What if Harry had a twin sister that he was separated from when his parents died and they met on the train to Hogwarts. Hey what is she doing talking to Malfoy and... wait did he just smile with kindness? Full sum inside. This is NOT male x male. On Hold.

    I didn't click on your link but I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess it's a reference to the 1986 movie, Peggy Sue Got Married.
    It's actually a pretty good movie, though it's trailer doesn't make it seem as much so. Unfortunately, if it really does follow the Peggy Sue format, then I don't want to bother reading it for obvious reasons to anyone who's seen the movie.

    You can watch the full movie with commercials here: http://www.crackle.com/c/Peggy_Sue_Got_Married/Peggy_Sue_Got_Married/2481748#

    Peggy Sue is what the plot device in which a character travels back in time to posses their younger self, while keeping the memories of the future is called. Named after the movie. I'd link you to the relevant TVTropes page, but I'm not that big of an ass to make you waste hours trapped.

    In the movie, Peggy Sue passes out during her 25th High School Reunion and wakes up in the body of her self in Senior Year of high school in 1960.

    She decides to change things from her previous mundane life but ends up getting pregnant and marrying her high school sweetheart anyway and wakes up in the hospital in 1986 again. At worst it was all a dream. At best, she managed to have someone from the past remember her and dedicate a book to her.

    Again, if it really is the Peggy Sue format, then there's no reason to read the fic: Harry will still die, and nothing will change.
