Harry Potter Thought
May. 31st, 2005 08:05 amSo, last night, relaxing after the BenCon meeting, my wife tossed in a copy of the first Harry Potter movie while I was futzing around on the computer in the corner - reading mail, scanning newsgroups, the usual.
My attention was gained during the sorting ceremony, where the hat's trying to convince Harry he's a Slytherin, and Harry's trying to go anywhere but there, and it hit me - it'd be an interesting Alternate universe to have where Harry *does* go into Slytherin. It wouldn't be a cake walk for him - for one thing, I don't suppose he'd stop loathing Draco, and Snape (as we know) wouldn't go any easier on him there.
Are there any good Harry Potter fanfics out there where he ends up in the wrong house? I'm sure there's got to be something out there, but my first attempts at googling up harry potter fanfics weren't that successful. (There seems to be www.harrypotterfanfiction.com, but the search interface is problematic.)
Thanks!
