'''''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3384712/1/The_Lie_Ive_Lived The Lie I've Lived]''''', a ''[[Harry Potter]]'' [[Alternate Universe Fic]] by jbern that picks up right at the end of ''[[Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (novel)|Prisoner Of Azkaban]]''. By blasting a couple hundred Dementors away, something inside Harry breaks loose: {{spoiler|all of James Potter's memories}}. And Harry quickly finds himself wondering if he really is Harry with James' memories... or James living on in Harry's body.

From here we get an expanded Triwizard Tournament, one of the best takes on The Sorting Hat, and Harry {{spoiler|or HJ to fans}} kicking ass and taking names. A sequel is supposedly in the works, but his first [[Fanfic]], ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20131001232702/http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3759007/1/Turn_Me_Loose_A_Harry_Potter_Adventure Turn Me Loose]'', and his original novel are taking precedence.
