Different Sorting/Resorting

As hard as it is to find a good, “Harry gets somewhere other than Gryffindor,” fic, it’s even harder to find one that is complete.  So, therefore I included a few that I might not have otherwise, simply because they are not WIPs.

Here’s painless_j’s AU Sorting List, in case you’re interested.

Sorted into Hufflepuff

For Want of a Quill by Veytta
Summary: First Year AU. Alternate Sorting. Ron finds a different compartment to sit in, Harry travels alone to Hogwarts and that small change changes the world in ways big and small. No pairings!
My Warnings: WIP
Length:  40K

Harry the Hufflepuff by BajaB
Summary: Luckily, lazy came up in Petunia’s tirades slightly more often than freak, otherwise, this could have been a very different story. AU. Not your usual Hufflepuff!Harry story.
My Warnings: Creative!Harry
Length: 29K, Complete (over 1000 reviews too)
Two sequels (both complete): Harry the Hufflepuff 2 and Harry the Hufflepuff 3 – Harry’s Year Off

The Misplaced Potter by chubby redburn
Summary: AU OOC. A tale in which Dumbledore makes a tiny mistake that changes Harry’s life. COMPLETED
My Warnings/Opinion: Could use a beta, but is still a readable and an enjoyable story.
Length:  47K

The Other Potter by Saelia (dead link, sorry!  As soon as I have a new one, I’ll update this one)
Summary: AU. Lily and James Potter were, as luck would have it, not home the night Voldemort attacked and was vanquished. Thomas Potter became the Boy-Who-Lived. Harry? Left with the Dursleys.
Warnings:  Slytherin- ish !Harry, Manipulative!Dumbledore.
My Warnings/Opinion: references of abuse, independent!Harry, twin to Boy-Who-Lived? (not certain), WIP – unfortunately, because it’s a really good fic
Length: 39K

Sorted into Ravenclaw

Accidental Hero, aka The Absentminded Ravenclaw by Nia River
Summary: ON HOLD. Freaky connections aside, does anyone else think it strange that Harry survived a Killing Curse with little more damage than a scar? Well, what if he hadn’t come through so unscathed? And what if the other damage was more mental than physical?
My Warnings/Opinion: Non-Linear progression, Luna/Harry, though it says it’s a WIP, it could be considered complete as is.

Xerosis by Batsutousai
Summary: Harry’s world ends at the hands of those he’d once fought to save. An adult-Harry goes back to his younger self fic. Semi-super!Harry
Warnings: Major Character Death, Alternate Universe, Dark!Harry, evil!Harry, semi-super!Harry, M/M, F/M (references to)
My Warnings/Opinion: Slash (but only in the very mild, most basic form), Ravenclaw!Harry, quasi-Vampire!Harry, completely awesome fic
Length: Complete, 135K

Sorted into Slytherin

A Different Harry, Year One by Shadow Adams
Summary: Harry disappeared from the Dursleys at the age of five. What happens when an independent Slytherin Harry enters the Wizarding World? This is my view of Harry during his first year.
My Warnings/Opinion: WIP, needs a beta (a little sub-par for my usual list of stories I read, but it has a pretty major following, 1000+ reviews and all)
Length:  86K

Better Be Slytherin! by jharad17
Summary: As a first year, Harry is sorted into Slytherin instead of Gryffindor, and no one is more surprised than his new Head of House.
Warnings: Abusive Dursleys, Alcohol Use, Alternate Universe, Neglect, Profanity, Slytherin Harry, Snape-meets-Dursleys, Violence, Mentor!Snape
My Warnings/Opinions: One of the best Harry is sorted into Slytherin fics currently out there. Completed.
Length: 166K

Breaking Forwards by lastcrazyhorn
Summary: HP&OP. The professors no longer can scare Harry with talk of lost points, detentions or Quidditch suspensions. He’s been beaten down for far too long, and he finally has reached his limit. Severus mentors, maybe guardian. Abuse, non-con, AU, evil!Ron

Warnings: Time-Travel, EWE, Slytherin!Harry, SSHP slash
My Warnings/Opinion: Really interesting and I wish they’d bloody well finish already. WIP
Length: 90K

Harveste Addams and the Sorcerer’s Stone by kyaru-chan
Summary: A little death can change so much. Delightful, isn’t it?
My Warnings/Opinion: Wonderful story. I liked it so much. Surprisingly enough, it only has around 200 reviews and that’s a shame. We should do something about that. Crossover with The Addams Family, Harry (pronounce Harry like the “Har” in “Hard” or “Harvest” as opposed to “Hairy”) is a also a crossdresser.  His friends are:  Hermione, Draco and Blaise (the male version, thank god).  In addition, there is Professor Snape and even he doesn’t know how to react to Harveste Addams. Much fun.
Length:  7k, Complete

Harveste Addams and the Chamber of Secrets by kyaru-chan
Summary:  Parselmouths, the Chamber and Lockhart. Well, well, well…

Length: 200K+

Not Slytherin Enough by fruit17
Summary: Harry was sorted into Slytherin. Five years later, members of the Order of the Phoenix come to collect him from Privet Drive. The Boy Who Lived isn’t quite who they expected.

Warnings: Snape!Mentor
My Warnings/Opinion: Abuse, WIP
