hauntingly

That one Harrymort fan fiction with the power to make you cry every five chapters. Written by Obsidianpen, an author of both original works and fan-related prose, Hauntingly is sure to either convert you into the garbage, Harrymort cesspool or at least give you an understanding of the people who ship this very un-cannon pairing.

Related Definitions:
Harrymort- The imaginary relationship between Lord Voldemort and Harry Potter. Not to be confused with Tomarry, the name for the relationship between Tom Riddle and Harry Potter.
Cannon- The irrefutable basis of a fandom. “While disliked, John and Mary’s marriage is cannon.”

Person A: “Why did you recommend Hauntingly to me? This is so sad.”
Person B: “You gotta read it if you wanna call yourself a Harrymort shipper.”
