"Harry Potter and the Mirror Of Paradox" by Yih


Title: Harry Potter and the Mirror Of Paradox
Author: Yih
Rating: T (aka PG-13)
Genre: Drama, Adventure.
Pairing: Severus/Harry, mention of Draco/Hermione and Draco/Harry.
Warnings: None.
Spoilers: Book 1-5.
Disclaimers: Harry Potter is © J. K. Rowling, WB, Scholastic, and all others involved. No money is being made off these works.
Summary: 6th-year AU, reality-travel. Transported into another dimension by cursed mirror, Harry enters a world where he died as an infant and ruled by Voldemort. Left with no choice, he adapts.
Why I like this fic: It's a reality-travel stroy, in which Harry was threw into alternate reality and was re-sorted into other House and showed us his gifted and intelligent side and blossomed under a false name. He's a totally different paeson from canon, but not unreasonable so. Mostly, it focused on how Harry grows and matures into a capable and powerful wizard.
