The Mirror of Ecidyrue #1
Draco Malfoy and the Mirror of Ecidyrue
All it takes is one look in a mirror and an ill-advised attempt to shatter it, before an embittered Draco Malfoy fresh out of Azkaban is sent back into his body on the day he gets his Hogwarts letter.
Suddenly, Draco has an unwanted second chance, with a Sorting Hat that doesn't know what to do with him, a certain Muggleborn who won't leave his study table alone, and green eyes he just can't get out of his head. And then there's his new wand, whose choice of him could just mark him as every bit as dark a wizard as his name means he should be.

Si digo que me gusto mas que Harry Potter y la piedra filosofal ¿es malo? No. Significa que este es mi nuevo canon.

After the defeat of Voldemort, Draco accidentally gets transported back in time and into his eleven year old body. Now faced with reliving everything over again with the knowledge of what's going to happen. Except how does he make sure he doesn't mess up the outcome, or is it already altered.
This was such a fun read. Retelling the first book from Draco's perspective with a unique twist. Seeing how much Draco has changed since he started at Hogwarts, and how much he's struggling with his actions.
Draco begrudgingly becoming the fourth member of the trio was something I never new I needed.

Someone from post-war Hogwarts going back in time to their 11 year-old self and reliving their school years! I love the idea, 6/5, would read again (and again). It's my New Thing. And I think it's only really something you're likely to find in all its depth in fanfic, because normal media often doesn't have a clear canon that we all know very well to riff on.
Anyway. If you're like me and you're into this sort of thing, this fic is wonderful. Well-written, engaging, repeating the first year of school without feeling too repetitive, but hitting all the highlights while introducing us to new things.
18 year-old Draco Malfoy goes back to the Malfoy manor after his dad was sent to Azkaban and Draco and his mother were left off the hook by Harry's touching deposition in their favor at their trial, reminding me that I should really reread the series again because I forgot a lot of what happens in years 6 and 7. Anyway. My faulty memory notwithstanding, Draco has a grudge on Harry, and on the world, and he hates everything, and his morale is so low that the first thing he does is get utterly drunk.
While drunk, he comes across the mirror of Ecidyrue (reminding me I should reread some Greek mythology, but this is neither here, nor there), which he breaks in a fit. And he falls in, waking up as his eleven year-old self, in his old house, with his abusive father and his mother who does little to stop that.
Worse, he knows that, in order to defeat Voldemort, he should probably keep the past as it is, even if it means sacrificing people he cares about and, well, a part of himself. And he knows he's a coward and unimportant to anyone - or, rather, that's his feeling about it, but... unreliable narrator much?
This is pre-Draco/Harry slash, as far as I can tell from the tags (and from Draco's slight obsession/rivalry with Harry, although isn't that just canon?). Great stuff.
If you're into Harry Potter fanfic about people being sent to the past to relive the events in the books, although not really, complete with trauma from the war and darkness, but that's also well-written, I thoroughly recommend The Time Jump Chronicles by Transgressions, which is about a jaded Auror Harry Potter returning to his 11 year-old self and body - though that one is Harry/Snape.

"I'm useless and you know it. I'm no good at any of this heroic bit, I just freeze up. Potter needs you, so don't be stupid. It's the three of you. It's always going to be the three of you. So take my spot, call the play, and win the game. And if you stick around wasting time once it's won, I'll cheer from the afterlife when Quirrell drinks your blood. Well?"
Honestly I’m so in love with this fic that I need to put it on Amelia’s radar

Goddamn solid series. Author churns out words like its butter, and yet the quality and plot has been on point. One of the best fanfics I read this year, and the high word count means it will be quite a diverting time.
Draco is very disagreeable, and an unreliable narrator. Childish for being so old, and its perfect.

Lo empecé una noche y lo acabe al día siguiente jajajajsjdjdj.
Venía buscando algo interesante y entretenido, pero encontré algo MUCHO mejor. Esta historia me tuvo pegada al celular, leyéndola, todo el tiempo.
Este es el mejor, sin duda el mejor fanfic que he leído, la historia está super bien construida, la soltura de la autora al escribir es realmente magnífica y la disfrutas mucho, los personajes están super bien escritos, y lo mejor, lo mejor de esto es Malfoy, sí, tener a Malfoy como protagonista, poder saber sus pensamientos, sus acciones, Todo de él hace a este libro más especial parar mi, sin duda el toque que le dio la autora al personaje es magnífico. Ver todo desde su perspectiva, tratando primeramente de querer escapar de ahí y no arruinar la línea temporal, ver que el realmente no es el niño cruel que nos habían planteado ni lo que aparenta, haciendo pequeñas acciones para ayudar a los demás y evitar pasados accidentes, lo hace un niño (aunque mentalmente no lo es) demasiado tierno para mí y noble.
Tengo muchas más cosas que decir, pero soy mala expresandome así que las dejaré para mí jajajajaja.
Re lectura: Junio 2025
decidi re-leer esta historia porque cuando la leí fue hasta el volumen 5 (o 6 no me acuerdo jajsjs) no la terminé, y no quería empezar donde la dejé así que por esa razón decidí re-leerlos de nuevo hasta el fin.
y me gustó mucho como la primera vez jsjsj 🤭.

Draco Malfoy and the Mirror of Ecidyrue is a rewrite of the first Harry Potter book. Draco travels back in time after the war has ended and is forced to relive his first year at Hogwarts, but this time with all the knowledge of what's to come.
Time Travel ususally is not for me, but the way Draco is forced to face this second chance at life is very intruiging. It's funny at times (Draco's disdain for Hogwarts child-safety precautions and how he stands up to his parents), but also endearing and sorrowful (the regrets Draco has to his passiveness in the Second Wizarding War).
In no other work have I seen Severus Snape viewed through the eyes of the main character in such a kind and caring way. Also, the friendship between Draco and Hermione is to die for. The book has some mystery elements as well and I am keen to find out more about the magic mirror and Draco's Tallon wand in the next fic in this series.

Se nota que es una historia cuya escritora es fans de Draco Malfoy y Slyferin. Y si bien tenía cosas muy interesantes, me era insoportable Draco aquí. Es que era un adulto en cuerpo de un niño y actuaba como tal. Al menos tuvo algo de evolución de personaje. Pero hizo que pusiera en blanco los ojos a cada rato.
Lo curioso es que me cayó mejor el trío de oro.
Si has leído Harry Potter y la piedra filosofal, toma está historia como un universo alterno del alterno. Aunque juega la vieja y confiable viaje en el tiempo.

Primero, si no tuvieran 11 años en este libro, se hubieran comido la boca durante todo el libro.
Segundo, sorprendentemente, la escena q mas me gusto fue con Draco y Ron:
"Orgullo, q más tengo a parte de eso?"
"No lo sé, a nosotros?"
Tercero, esto es como leer "Choices" por segunda vez.
AME, ME VOY A LEER TODOS PQ LA TENSION Q HAY ENTRE HARRY Y DRACO, BOOOFFF

4 estrellas a lo mucho que me gustó.
Me encanta la comunidad, el fandom y la idea de tomar una historia y darle giros hasta que se haga otra cosa. Te quiero mucho Draco Malfoy.

My first time reading a time travel where they don't try to rewrite the past.
An interesting idea and well written.
Draco is both himself and different.
I look forward to reading more.
