Can you do worse? Try harder.

Okay, cat!McGonagall/Dobby and Crabbe/Fawkes are both completely wrong enough to be competitive.

But of course, it's more impressive if the completely wrong ship is less high-entropy - that is, if you don't have to dip so low in the search ordering to find it.

Incidentally, I tried to look it up, and as far as I can tell, this particular ship has been done exactly once before. Surprising, considering how near the characters are in canon. I suppose it's just that wrong.

Firenze/Hagrid?

It should feel at least somehow wrong but it actually does not. Then again, I suspect that most "happenings" that include Hagrid could pretty soon end with a grave medical emergency of some sort, generating copious amounts of squick.

Luna/Draco/Karkaroff?
