(In which our hero wonders how many times she can say 'Freeeeeench' before people go mad.)
Title: Harry Potter and the Half-Assed Job.
Fandom: Harry Potter, duh [novel].
Rating: R for crazy.
Genre: Parody.
Summary: Unhealthy fixations, romantic entanglements, and a big walrus are just some of the things Harry has to deal with in his sixth year at Hogwarts. Oh yeah, and the whole Voldemort thing. A parody. A bad parody.
Warnings: Extremely juvenile humour, extremely perverted humour, extremely non-humorous humour. Caveat emptor (although technically you aren't paying).
Pairings/Characters: Er . . . all the ones from the books?
Author's Note: This is a slightly vitriolic parody of the (to me) supremely unsatisfying Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, which will most likely anger a whole shitload of people. Feel free to leave me horrified/infuriated flames deploring my heathen sensibilities, or else simply telling me how utterly bollocks I am at this parody business. Chapters will be posted in groups of five. Now go have fun, or not, as the case may be.
Disclaimer: All characters mentioned herein, except for the various Guilds, Coalitions, and so forth, belong to J.K. Rowling. J.K. Rowling, while not a character, presumably also belongs to herself. Please don't sue me, for I am cute and cuddly and occasionally kind.
