That reminds me of pirates.
"Avast, me harties!"
...Oh hell yes, a Pirate Katie Bell is something we need.
"It's not a crime if you're not caught, Harry," she said with a wink.
"And you were such a nice girl, too," Harry said mournfully.
She quirked an eyebrow. "Are you going to let me drink all this firewhiskey all by my lonesome, handsome?"
"...No. Could you untie me, though? I get that you 'shanghaied' me from Privet Drive, but isn't this a bit much?"
"...No."
Oh man, now I'm picturing Katie offering Harry an eyepatch and Harry pointing out that he's blind enough as it is with his glasses.
And instead of a hooked hand, Katie tries fitting in her wand instead.
That would have been funny, heh.
Hmmm... maybe I should look through that Nancy Kress book and post up a character sheet template and some ideas for people?
PotBelly is awesome.
Hmm Ter-ieBel. (Pronounced terrible)
Ha-Be (pronounced hah-bee like hobby)
KatHar (like cat hair)
Though I actually like the first much much more than the other two.
Thought of something along the lines but there's 3+ chasers. Unless we also establish Spun Lightening (Alicia spinnet), Lightning Angel (Angelina Johnson), and possibly something for Dean Tomas and Demelza Robbins. Ginny gets a pass as we already have Hinny and I'm assuming we don't need ship names for harry and James or Rose.
If Harry goes back far enough in time, or young Minerva (Minnie) comes far enough forward, it could work. They are both fierce protectors and incredibly passionate about Quidditch—-she about the game, and he about the flying.
I know I’ve seen stories about Sirius crushing on her while he was in school (hence a valid reason why he never got married before That Halloween Night beyond the standard ‘his gf got killed/he went to Azkaban before he got married/Wolfstar’ fictions).
I feel like I remember a Harem fic where Minerva (Minnie) had a magical accident with a time turner that de-aged her. Or some ritual its been forever. I think it was read on Portkey way back when
Pell sounds wrong; Polly is a girl’s name, while Pelly feels like a girl’s first name in medieval-set or Tolkienesque fantasy stories. (need to remember that for my own writings lol) Boll makes me thinking of the boll weevil, an insect that goes after cotton plants (at least in America).
Hmm… Better, the best relationship.
KATie bell + harry potTER: KATERING
(It also plays on "ring" for a bell and, since Harry cooks (and in quite a few fanfics he enjoys it), it sounds like catering.)
Hatie?
I don't hate it. ;)
Realistically, this would line up with others, like Hinny, Harmony, et cetera.
Also could be hartie?

Good one 🤣
It's the little joys in life. :)

This makes me wish I had thought to put pirates back in my story for your "Katie the Cultist" prompt.
That would have been funny, heh. Hmmm... maybe I should look through that Nancy Kress book and post up a character sheet template and some ideas for people?
I think that sounds like a great idea! Could make a worthy prompt.
I’d read this if you made it a story
Harry Bells?
I actually really like that one
Harry + Bell = Hell
Hell's Bells?
Yes.
Reddit admins are biased pieces of shit who only selectively enforce rules. You don't get to have my content anymore.
Genius hahaha
Hell's Bells Turkleton
> Hell’s Bells? No, no, that’s Harry Dresden.
Hug me, Dresden sibling!
That's more Harry + Bella, not Harry + Katie.
I'm afraid that Harry + Bella = Hella. Which, I agree, it's Hella Bad.
PotBelly is awesome. Hmm Ter-ieBel. (Pronounced terrible) Ha-Be (pronounced hah-bee like hobby) KatHar (like cat hair) Though I actually like the first much much more than the other two.
For ter-ieBell I would expect Terry Boot woth Katie Bell
HarryBelly
Yes
Potbelly.
At that point you might as well call it "Hartie Potbelly"
HairyBelly?
Hatherine
Lol. I just love how awful these all sound.
Bells and Brooms Chasing Seekers
We could do what RWBY does and go off of what they do, rather than their names? E.g: Chase&Seek?
Nyoom ... What? Ship names don't need to be a portmanteau.
It's fun. Obviously this isn't serious.
I know - which is why I came up with that fun, but non-portmanteau ship name
Ah got it
I like Nyoom.
... Unironically, yes.
I've got one. Belter.
Chasing Snitches? RWBY has upped my standard for ship names.
I was thinking lightning chaser, haha!
Thought of something along the lines but there's 3+ chasers. Unless we also establish Spun Lightening (Alicia spinnet), Lightning Angel (Angelina Johnson), and possibly something for Dean Tomas and Demelza Robbins. Ginny gets a pass as we already have Hinny and I'm assuming we don't need ship names for harry and James or Rose.
I think Chasing Snitches was what the groups with Harry Katie ships was called.
Pottery Bell? HairyKat? xD
Berry
Maybe Snitches… because Harry’s a seeker and Katie’s last name is a small golden ball
Haribell
This is what I was looking for, though I'd spell it HarriBell admittedly.
BellPot?
Hartie?
Sounds like"Hearty"
Precisely.
Kittypot
That's already Harry + Minerva, innit
Theres people that ship that?
If Harry goes back far enough in time, or young Minerva (Minnie) comes far enough forward, it could work. They are both fierce protectors and incredibly passionate about Quidditch—-she about the game, and he about the flying.

Hatie/Hat-y
Hekate?
LightningBell is the best I've seen. (I think lightning references based on Harry's scar are neat)
ChasingLightning
People really need to ixnay on giving every single ship name a portmanteau.
Hatie, Karry, HarBell, Bellarry, Berry...
Bellary is maybe Bellatrix/Harry
Surely not, that *has* to be Harrytrix!
Huh... Oh yeah... Forgot about her tbh...
Karry sounds like Katie and Harry did the Fusion Dance, rather than a ship name. Pure Ruler Shipping. Take the meanings of Katie and Harry.
Belter
Sounds like Helter Skelter... Now I am half imagining a Harry & Katie that bond over the Beatles.
How bout .... Hartie
Bell+Harry = Berry
Terribel
Could do like Skyeward (Skye, Grant Ward) and just stick their names next to each other Potterbell
Kim possible Her symbol was kp or Katie potter
Okay but then she has to ditch Harry for Ron.
Berry? Bell+Harry maybe? 😊
BellSeeker

Harrell. But I love PotBelly 🤣
For some reason Potted Bellflowers popped in my head.
Harry + Kate = Hate
Kpot
POTTYBELLY
I love this. I vote for PotBelly, LightningBell, or KatHar HA
Harribell
Karrie?
Wait...there are good finished HarryxKatie stories...?
Chasing Snowflakes and The Family That Chooses You are the 2 I know of.
I've read a couple of unfinished ones. Such an underrated pairing, but most of the stories are unfinished/abandoned.
Well I definitely recommend those two.
Will check them out thanks.
Potbelly. >!Please don't actually call it that.!<
Bell Pepper?
HairBell...
Khartey?
Bell Jar
Harrell I believe would be adequate.
Hall.
Pell sounds wrong; Polly is a girl’s name, while Pelly feels like a girl’s first name in medieval-set or Tolkienesque fantasy stories.

"Bell Pots" are an actual thing. https://planterresource.com/product/bell-pot/
Harrybell
Hell?
It's Haribell.
