Skewed Reality by ForgottenEllipses

Summary:
Soon after he arrives back at school for fifth or sixth year, Harry has an accident somehow transports him into our world in the current year in Muggle America. And who should have tagged along but his least two favorite people - Snape and Draco? As if that's not enough, it turns out that this world is actually an alternate reality from their own, one in which the Harry Potter story is a series of books that have revolutionized our world and culture.

While trying to find a way home, they learn to each reconcile with each other and come to realize that their perspective on each was skewed. Bonding occurs - fatherly/brotherly or otherwise. Throughout it all, they must try to keep low profiles and survive in a world that can instantly recognize them as story-book characters. For if that little fact leaks out, mass chaos would ensue.

In this world, they are recognized by a young girl/boy around Harry and Draco's age (OC) who ends up befriending them and helping them throughout their journey.

Please try to make reactions of all characters and especially the OC as realistic as possible. (i.e. if you literally ran into your favorite story-book character on the street, what would you really do?)

Ideas:

• Angst, drama, humor, hurt/comfort
• Girl is in school (high school or uni)
• Harry has unresolved issues with Cedric's and Sirius' deaths, which are confronted
• Draco has unresolved home life issues that are confronted
• Scenes with loads of humor. Use your imagination - it's a perfect setting. ;)
• Harry and Draco attend public Muggle school with the girl, and Snape gets a job of some sort - most likely a teaching position (substitute or long-term)
• They are trapped in this world for quite some time. Long enough to experience some of our major holidays, at least.
• Harry has nightmares
• Harry has unresolved Dursley issues which are confronted
• OC understands the Snape/Harry and Harry/Draco discord and works to try and fix it
• OC has no problem sharing her opinions with Snape, especially when s/he butts heads with him. This happening somewhat often, and rather loudly too would be awesome! :D
