Non-Crossovers that Should Be, or Plotbunnies Free to Good Home
 
#45
I had another Potter bunny pop up - at first it would look like a pretty standard mulligan, with an accident in the Time Room during the DoM incident 5th year sending him back to his first year body, but then... This is a Harry who has just had demonstrated to him why he desperately needs to be able to defend his mind, and only knows one way to learn to do that. Of course, he's about to walk up to Snape after class and say "Oh please sir, rape my mind and rake up all my nastiest memories," he deosn't really want ANYONE poking through them let alone the one bully who's given him more trouble than Dudley ever did. But again, he knows the incantation, and the wand motion is just a simple jab - it can't be that hard to cast, right? So, he tries it on a mirror in the middle of the night. This... doesn't quite work, as he finds himself in a space of cold, hard, sharp edges, feeling like his projected will is being squeezed into a space too small for it, and treated to an apparently endless series of scenes of telling more or less slovenly schoolboys how to smarten up a bit.

Then the spell ends, and he's back in front of the mirror in the boy's dorm loo, with the silver rapidly tarnishing to black and the runes around the frame smoking. Counting his blessings that he didn't actually BREAK the glass since the last thing he needs is even more bad luck through his school years, he scampers back to bed, mind circling over the need to learn Occlumency without exposing his mind, or risking hurting one of his friends that way trying to bounce it off a shield charm if they aren't quite quick enough of can't hold it.

He concludes he neds a more magical mirror... fortunately, he knows just where to find one. With typical Harry Potter recklessness when he's onto an idea, he doesn't stop to consider that intentionally bouncing mind magic off the Mirror of Erised back to himself might, just possibly, be less than the ideal plan... rather than just seeing a version of himself surrounded by his family and friends, the memories of the life he might have had stream into his head!

Super-Harry of some sort probably follows, but whatever. Having got to the end of this I now remember vaguely one or two other MoE based stories, one with him interacting with SLyhterin Harry, and the other IIRC somehow switching with a Harriet Potter, or possibly somehow the mirror-world where she was the Girl Who Lived - that one may have started on Harriet's side and been told form her POV dealing with Canon Harry, or maybe there was yet a third fic I'm getting conflated. Details escape me in any case, and this isn't all that much like either concept really.
