If You've A Ready Mind is a novel-length (approximately 90,000 words) Harry/Draco AU by Maya that was posted in ten installments on her LiveJournal between December 2005 and July 2006. The story uses a common Harry Potter fanfic trope — sorting a character into a different House — to show how Draco Malfoy might have developed in Ravenclaw instead of Slytherin.

If You've a Ready Mind Reviews

    3.5*
    this is basically HP 1-7, a sometimes cracky, in other parts serious, 'what if Draco was sorted Ravenclaw' story.
    loved Hermione and Anthony as Dracos sidekicks

    Sarah's most recent published novel, In Other Lands has a protagonist who I adore, primarily because his dialogue is just as entertaining and laugh out loud funny as Draco is in this specific fic. And while it does have H/D, the ship is almost more of a bonus to the deconstruction and meta regarding HP canon and the hilariousness that is young Draco Malfoy and his coming into his own through the years.

    It's a brilliant piece of writing that has stuck with me. It's also a genuinely good example of the transformative nature of fanfic. Will always recommend.

  • Emily Crowe

    This one uses the ol' What If Draco Were Sorted Into Ravenclaw meme. Love it.

    "Don't think you can talk to me just because you have a demon around your throat."

    Anthony Goldstein gave him a wary look. After a moment, he ventured: "D'you mean my
    inhaler?"
