The Lie I've Lived

The Lie I've Lived, an Alternate Universe Fic by jbern that picks up right at the end of Prisoner Of Azkaban. By blasting a couple hundred Dementors away, something inside Harry breaks loose:. From here we get an expanded Triwizard Tournament, one of the best takes on The Sorting Hat, and Harry kicking ass and taking names. A sequel is supposedly in the works, but his first Fanfic, Turn Me Loose, and his original novel are taking precedence.
