Harry Potter Star Wars Fanfiction Lets Try This Again

So maybe everything didn't work out perfectly for Harry. Yet, well-nigh of his friends survived, he'd gotten married, and was about to become a male parent. If but he'd have stayed away from the Veil, he wouldn't take had to become back and do everything over again.

Oh God Not Again! is a Harry Potter fanfiction past Sarah1281, ao3 link here. An adult Harry gets sent back in time and makes information technology his goal in life to save as many lives from Voldemort as he can. Okay, that'southward a lie, actually. Not to say he doesn't practise that, but he spends most of his fourth dimension enjoying himself and wreaking as much havoc as possible. Also an Appreciating Parody, and so people and events are looked at and discussed from a unlike perspective when deemed appropriate. Or funny.

Non to be confused with the trope Oh, No... Non Again!

This fanfic provides examples of:

• Adults Are Useless: The adults are more than useless than usual, but mainly because they don't take noesis from the future. Harry does sometimes get them involved on purpose when they can assistance, such every bit going straight to Dumbledore when Hagrid gets Norbert.
• All Therapists Are Muggles: Harry remembers that this was a trouble for Cho Chang in recovering from Cedric'south death. She needed therapy, simply had to edit her story because there weren't any wizarding therapists.
• Always Second All-time: As Harry miserably notes, Gryffindor volition never lose the House Cup as long as he is at Hogwarts considering he is Dumbledore's favorite student, making every other firm this by default. The only year where this is justified equally not due to Dumbledore's favoritism is Tertiary Year, where the mistake lies on Sirius for giving fifty points to whoever called Voldemort ... well, "Voldemort". Gryffindor, being the Business firm of the Brave and all, was the one who had the biggest advantage — even Ron, i of the few Gryffindors who had issues saying the name, stopped flinching upon hearing information technology by Christmas. That didn't finish Harry from being stubborn and avoiding saying the name himself (unfortunately for him, he slipped up at the End of the Year Feast and was promptly awarded last-minute points).
  • Otherwise, Draco notes that Hufflepuff is lucky to get a win occasionally, Slytherin tends to be consistently top two but may drop if someone goes too far with a prank, Gryffindor is also up in that location with Slytherin and their fall to third identify hinges on if someone messes upward spectacularly, while Ravenclaw is unremarkably second or 3rd and sometimes wins through consistency. He likewise notes that it'due south unfair for Hufflepuff as existence responsible is expected of them and thus tends to reduce their chances of winning points.
• Anachronism Stew: A one-off case; Harry declares that Lockhart's favorite color is "Famous (formerly, Hot Magenta)". The author explains in the end-note that Crayola didn't rename that crayon until 2008, just she thought information technology was simply too good to pass up.
• Artifact of Attraction: Sirius starts to put on the Slytherin Horcrux ring despite Harry warning him that it would kill him. He manages to stop himself when Harry says, "Sirius, if you lot put that on, and so Snape will have to save your life. SNAPE."
• Artistic License – History: Used for Dominion of Funny. When doing Lockhart's quiz, Harry answers "Famous (formerly Hot Magenta)" for Lockhart'southward favorite colour. The author notes that Crayola didn't change the name until 2008, but thought the opportunity was also good to pass up.
• Artistic License – Law: When Sirius'southward innocence is inevitably proven, Harry browbeats Fudge (who is conveniently correct there) into issuing the official pardon immediately. Legal pardons in the Great britain are issued but to those who are "morally innocent" — i.e, people who are definitely legally guilty of the crime, simply have been judged non to have washed anything really incorrect. Cases similar Sirius's would be handled by a different procedure — given that he was imprisoned without a trial and therefore was probably never actually bedevilled of any criminal offense, Fudge could take just rescinded the guild for his arrest.
• Attention Whore: This time, the claims that Harry enjoys his fame and seeks out attending are absolutely truthful. Partially so he can make money off of his celebrity status and put that money to expert use, and partially because, well ... it's fun.
• Badass Instructor: Sirius takes over as the History of Magic instructor. The badass function comes with the package.
• Bad Liar: When Ron wonders where Ginny got the extra money she was spending on school supplies (which she got from her cutting of a less-than-accurate volume by Lockhart), she freaks out and demands to know if he's implying she stole it. Harry thinks to himself that the Weasleys were raised to be honest.
• Batman Gambit: A couple times, Harry gets what he wants by playing on the reactions of others. In some cases, he already knows what their reactions will exist, considering he'south lived this solar day before, while other times, he merely knows them well enough to estimate.
• Beyond the Impossible: Draco notes the ridiculously high point totals during Harry's 3rd Yr, which is promptly blamed on Sirius for giving points out "like processed".
• Large "NO!": Fred and George when they see the Quidditch field is now a hedge and Harry at 1 of the times Hermione wins fifty points after he dedicated himself to losing the Firm Loving cup.
• Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Harry is much more than of a Cloud Cuckoolander this time round, causing the general population to view him every bit somewhere between batshit insane and only full of information technology, just he's — usually — a nice guy, employing Dumbledore's tactics of destroying his foes through politeness and snark. Sometimes, though, he strays right into Magnificent Bitch territory:

  Pansy: [After Rita Skeeter'southward Pentawizard Playoffs article] Stunningly pretty? GRANGER? What was she judged against — a chipmunk?
  Harry: I wouldn't talk if I were you, Pansy. Seeing as I heard you came in tertiary.

• Blatant Lies: Used by Harry when a Sarcastic Confession just won't cut information technology, or when he feels like it.
  • Invoked in 1 example:

    Molly: This is much better gossip than concluding year'due south 'Albus Dumbledore was madly in love with Gellert Grindelwald.' Honestly, y'all'd call back Rita Skeeter would learn to stop making upwardly such sensational stories. Obviously Dumbledore was struck speechless by the blatant lies and thus couldn't exist bothered to deny it.

  • "How do you lot know that?" "My psychic scar told me."
  • As well, this substitution is Blatant Lies for the Hogwarts personnel present besides every bit Harry and Sirius:

    Snape: Is there a reason you felt the need to go running off on a suicidal rescue mission without informing a responsible adult, first?
    Harry: I did get a responsible adult. Professor Lockhart is a Hogwarts Professor and surely Professor Dumbledore wouldn't have hired him if he didn't have consummate faith in him.

• Born Lucky: Harry gives this impression to those around him, since everything seems to work out for him. Of class, he has an unfair advantage they don't know about ...
• Sabbatical Episode: Nothing of import happens in Harry's new third twelvemonth, but the author didn't want to skip over it entirely. Information technology generally covers the elective classes.
• Broken Pedestal: Although Harry still plainly respects Dumbledore and tries to maintain something of their old relationship, it's besides clear that he's enlightened of only how fallible Dumbledore is and how many mistakes the old human has made.
• The Caligula: Parodied with Neville'south Boggart, which is Harry as Minister for Magic in this timeline instead of Snape. Since this is a humor fic, Minister-Harry is less "feed people to lions because he'south bored" and more "ban Monday because it's as well depressing and let people pay to not register as Animagi".
• Cannon Fodder: How the Sorting Chapeau describes the Gryffindors.
• Casual Danger Dialog: Harry uses this (forth with a great deal of sarcasm) every time he and Voldemort have a showdown.

  Voldemort: You have been taught how to duel, Harry Potter?
  Harry: I've been taught to drop my wand and summon snakes. Our dueling social club was kind of substandard.

• Cassandra Truth: See Breathy Lies. Though, in this example, it'due south unknown whether Rita managed to piece this together through other sources or if she was but making things up later on somehow learning nearly Dumbledore and Grindelwald'southward friendship and accidentally hitting the marking total on.
• Chickification: Inverted, but not to the extent of Xenafication. Fleur does considerably amend in the Triwizard Tournament. Discussion of God (God for this universe, not Rowling) says that this is because the reasons for her lowered points in catechism (attacked by Grindylows, the dragon breathing fire on her) were chance events non probable to be repeated.
• Complaining Most Rescues They Don't Like: Ginny was quite put out by the lack of heroics involved in Harry'southward defeat of the basilisk.
• Consulting Mister Puppet: How people react to Harry talking about his scar. Made more explicit when a frustrated Hermione asks if she should say "pitiful" for doubting Harry'due south scar's "predictions", and Harry inclines his head as though pretending to consult with the scar before answering that the scar says an amends would be nice.
• Continuity Nod: Occasionally, mention will be made of by events.
  • Harry gets Hermione a copy of Hogwarts: A History for Christmas in get-go yr. In 2nd year he mentions this when he asks her why she wants to borrow a copy from the library.
  • Harry gets Hermione a time-turner for Christmas in second year. He brings information technology upwardly when the grouping start discussing what classes they'll be taking at the starting time of third year.
  • In third year Divination form Ron sees in his crystal brawl a vision of Harry and Fred competing in the Pentawizard Playoffs the following year (not that he knows what he'southward seeing). When Harry and Fred get selected, Neville reminds Hermione of this.
• Conveniently Timed Attack from Behind: In the final boxing, Sirius hits Voldemort from behind.
• Crazy-Prepared: When Pettigrew is defenseless, Luna pulls out an Animagus-proof jar that her begetter had her behave around in instance she e'er ran beyond an illegal Animagus she wanted to capture.
• The Cuckoolander Was Right:
  • Luna is the only person to figure out Harry and Sirius had traveled back in time. It seemed obvious to her.
  • Harry hires a team of trackers who successfully find a Crumple-Horned Snorkack, proving that Luna was right nearly them all along.
  • Harry comes off similar this to others, as most things he says are batshit insane, but slowly people realize that the more over-the-top Harry's predictions are, the more authentic he gets.
• Cute Impuissant Daughter: Harry gets Tonks an anti-awkwardness ring to help with her Auror preparation, only figures she'll just clothing it for work, suspecting that she likes to exist klutzy.
• Cutting His Heart Out with a Spoon: When Harry and Lockhart reach an agreement of sorts, Harry adds that if Lockhart tries to steal one of his accomplishments, Harry will beat him to decease with a paper napkin.

  Lockhart: Can yous beat someone to death with a paper napkin?
  Harry: [shrugs] I'll take fun trying.

• Deadly Euphemism: Parodied:

  Harry:...Sadly, leprechaun gilt dies after a few hours.
  Percy: Dies?
  Harry: Well, the official story is "missing", merely we all know what that means.

• Dead Guy Junior: In the original timeline, Harry had a new owl named "Hedwig Jr", after his previous owl who died in Deathly Hallows.
• Deathbringer the Adorable: Averted, much to Harry's dislike. In the original timeline, he and Ginny got a rabbit, and she refused to accept his proper name suggestion of "Mega Ultra Flame Deathsman", instead going with a more standard "Flopsy".
• Death past Adaptation: Mrs. Norris ends upward killed by the basilisk during second yr.
• Deconstruction Fic: An appreciating, Deconstructive Parody using the Peggy Sue framework. Lampshades hung, inconsistencies trounced flat, and characters attacked at angles that reveal new aspects. And information technology has a ball doing information technology.
• A Dog Ate My Homework: I of the papers Lupin tries to form was chewed up by the textbook Hagrid assigned.
• Do Non Call Me "Paul": Only three people are allowed to telephone call Tonks by her birth proper name Nymphadora. 2 of them are Charlie and Cedric considering she lost a bet to each of them (and doesn't make such bets anymore). Remus can call her that equally well, though the significance of information technology escapes him at first.
• Double Standard: Neville points out to Hermione that attributing their obsession with Quidditch to their gender could be considered sexist.
• Dragged into Drag: Sort of. Draco gets a photo of Harry in a dress (technically a boggart Neville made less frightening) and sells them to students equally collectibles. Harry negotiates for a cutting of the profits and is okay with signing them.
• Emo Teen: Harry accuses Diary!Riddle of being one. Then does Sirius, for that matter.
• Everybody Knew Already: Nigh dragons being the first task in the Pentawizard Playoffs. Bagman is not pleased that "the champions (and George) all spectacularly failed to react":

  Bagman [Bellyaching]: Oh come on,you lot could at least pretend to exist surprised!
  Harry [Obliging]: Gosh, this has got to exist the most unexpected issue I've ever encountered! Dragons? I don't think I've fifty-fifty seen a dragon!
  Cedric: That'due south a niggling over-the-top, don't you retrieve?
  Harry: I'm reacting for six people hither; have it or go out it.

• Everyone Can See It: Ron acts shocked at the idea of asking Hermione to the Yule Ball. Harry and Neville point out how obvious his crush on her is.
• Verbal Words: Dobby jinxes the Bludger to go after Harry in 2d yr despite Harry having gotten Draco to make Dobby promise not to salve Harry's life.

  Harry: Wait... Didn't Draco order you not to effort to save my life or to try and bulldoze me from the castle?
  Dobby: (looking downright mischievous) Dobby wasn't trying to salvage the Peachy Harry Potter'due south life nor was he trying to ship him abroad from Hogwarts. Dobby was trying to break Harry Potter'south arm.

• Fantastic Racism:
  • At one point, it'south shown that fifty-fifty the Weasleys aren't completely allowed to the pureblood mentality when Ron mentions they never talk about their second cousin who'southward a Squib (and an auditor). Harry notes that it'southward to Ron's credit that he doesn't grasp why the cousin is an outcast and that he'due south invoking this trope unintentionally.
  • Parodied when Luna asks Snape if he is a "living-ist" — someone who prejudges based on whether a person is expressionless or live.
• Fiction 500: Harry exploits his fame and knowledge of the future to open several business ventures over the course of the fic, and as a result he's able to buy basically anything he wants.
• Foreshadowing: A subtle inkling to who Barty Crouch Jr. is impersonating this time effectually happens when Percy offers Crouch Sr. a drink at the quidditch loving cup. Mr Crouch declines because he has brought his own potable before taking a sip from his flask.
• Fun with Acronyms: Hermione'due south house-elf rights organization becomes SHOE: Sacme Hurting Our Elves.
• Gender Bough: When a certain trickster gets into the History of Magic post, he warns that this might be one of the random "amusing" results of falling asleep in class.
• Genius Ditz: Lockhart is yet incompetent every bit a teacher, but Harry admits he's a genius when information technology comes to annihilation dealing with the media.
• Skillful Affair You Can Heal: Or at least, Skilful Thing You Can Go Healed.

  Sphinx: Correct. Do not worry, though, as I am not permitted to kill you. That said, Healers can work all sorts of miracles these days.

• Grammar Nazi: Harry trademarked SPEW for his Grammar Nazi system 'Stop People Abusing Words.' He chose to spell 'Abusing' with an E to be ironic (and make it fit the acronym).
• Handwave: How Harry goes back in fourth dimension is barely explained and goes confronting catechism, just the setup barely matters.
• Hard Truth Aesop: In-universe. Sirius tells his History of Magic grade the story of Voldemort's parents and asks them what the moral is; Lavender suggests, "Don't assume the guy you're feeding love potions is in love with you and end."
• Difficult Piece of work Hardly Works: Draco points out that Hufflepuff never comes out ahead considering working hard is such an ingrained, defining trait of theirs. "What are they going to do? Practice exactly what they're supposed to do MORE?"
• Harmful to Minors: Neville kills Quirrell in the Bedchamber of Philosopher'due south Stone and is understandably shaken by it. Albus and Harry try their best to comfort him.
• Harsher in Retrospect: An in-universe example. Mentally beingness an adult lends Harry a different perspective on many incidents, such as at present being horrified at Neville's Hilariously Abusive Childhood. invoked
• Take You Told Anyone Else?: Defied when Harry thinks Lockhart might exist planning to steal his Invisibility Cloak. He makes a indicate of telling Lockhart that at least two dozen other students (whose names he is non maxim) can ostend that information technology'southward his. Lockhart gives upwards and doesn't take the thought any further.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: Also in-universe, Harry finally gets that Lockhart was joking when he implied he was more famous than Harry. invoked
• Humiliating Wager: Charlie and Cedric are allowed to use Tonks's Embarrassing First Proper noun because they won one of these. She has vowed not to make these bets anymore — much to Harry's dismay, as he would likely win easily with his unfair advantage.
• Hypocrite: Harry (affectionately) thinks this when Sirius insists Snape should really let get of his resentment. Because Sirius, himself, is quite mature in that regard.
• If You Die, I Call Your Stuff: Ginny to Harry upon facing the third year Gryffindor vs. Slytherin quidditch match:

  "...[I]f you die, can I have your broom?"

• If You lot Ever Hurt Her: Averted.

  Remus [Dazed]: Aren't ... you going to warn me almost breaking [Tonks'] center?...
  Sirius: Why, are you planning on breaking her heart?
  Remus: Well, no, simply—
  Sirius: Then she can handle herself. She is well on her fashion to becoming an Auror, after all; and I'thousand sure she could desexualize you far ameliorate than I ever could.

• Insane Troll Logic: Harry does this a lot in lodge to explain how he knows certain facts that he shouldn't know yet or when he'due south messing with people.
• Insistent Terminology: Harry keeps calling their grouping "The Trio Plus Neville" because "The Quartet" sounds too much similar they should be musicians.
• I Pass up Your Reality:
  • In a lighthearted version of this, Sirius chooses to pretend he was in Majorca instead of Azkaban for over a decade. Everyone pretty much goes with it.
  • Luna provides an equally lighthearted case:

    Hermione: It's not our mistake we're not insane. No offense, Luna.
    Luna: Why would I exist offended? I've seen your version of sanity. It bores me.

• Ironic Echo: Harry returns ane of Dumbledore'south cryptic remarks to the man himself.

  Harry: The truth. It is a beautiful and terrible thing, and should therefore be treated with swell caution.
  Dumbledore: That is about unhelpful and I suspect deliberately cryptic.
  Harry: Well, if it is it's probably because I got that from a reticent and secretive to a error onetime man.

• It Amused Me: Much of what Harry does is to avoid the crap that's going to happen, but almost of information technology he does for the hell of information technology. The main reason he doesn't tell everybody his actual age is that everyone would then expect him to act like it.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold:
  • Harry comes off equally this, specially to the other characters who can't hear his thoughts. He may spend the story being an attention-seeking Troll, but he does it while as well doing everything he can to save or improve the lives of near everyone.
  • Draco is this in the new timeline, since he and Harry manage to get friends. Prolonged exposure to the residue of the gang means his prejudices aren't nearly every bit potent, and by the end, he'south actually not so bad.
• Karma Houdini: Lucius Malfoy gets away with everything he does. Once again.
• Keet: Harry is a lot happier in this timeline, and is often cheerfully groovy jokes, running headfirst into danger, and generally enjoying every second of his existence.
• Impale It with Fire: Virtually of the Horcruxes are destroyed using Fiendfyre.
• Lampshade Hanging: The story is practically made of them.
• Late to the Punchline: It takes Harry time-travelling and hearing Lockhart's comments virtually fame a second time (this time every bit an adult) to realize that Lockhart was joking. (Of course, he's notwithstanding a self-centered, fame-hungry git, simply he's non nearly as bad as he came off in the original timeline.)
• Leaning on the Fourth Wall: When presented with a headline reading "Harry Potter and the Pentawizard Playoffs", Harry muses that information technology sounds like the title of a volume ...
• Loophole Abuse:
  • In Harry'due south fourth year, he was supposed to work with antidotes and "turned in a bezoar again".

    Harry: It's kind of expensive, but the await on his face and the fact that he can't technically neglect me considering the assignment was to notice a fashion to salve someone from the diverse poisons makes it all worth it.

  • Fred Weasley gets entered into the Pentawizard Playoffs and George wants to enter as well. Solution: Have him change his name to George "Fred" Weasley and both tin participate!
  • Dobby turns out to be unexpectedly expert at this during the second yr. Despite Harry having Draco gild Dobby to "not try to save Harry Potter" and "not try to keep Harry Potter abroad from Hogwarts", Dobby can still attempt specific things he's non prohibited from (such as enchanting a Bludger to assail Harry, since he hasn't been ordered to "not break Harry Potter's arm"), which may lead to Harry leaving safely.
• Love Potion: Discussed. When Sirius explains Voldemort's backstory and asks his grade what the moral is, Lavender says, "Don't assume the guy you're feeding love potions [to] is in love with you lot and terminate?" Seamus is disturbed past this.
• The Masquerade: At the Yule Ball, Luna namechecks the wizarding world's policy of hiding from the muggles.
• Mauve Shirt: Some readers idea Cedric Diggory was existence gear up for this, again. "When I was rereading GoF I noticed how ridiculously likable [Cedric] was. Seriously, information technology'due south like JKR did that just so everyone would be sorry when he died…"[ane] He'due south promoted to a supporting character. And doesn't die.
• Mental Time Travel: The way Harry and Sirius end up going dorsum.
• Mentors: Lockhart mentors Harry in dealing with being a celebrity. They later try to give fame advice to Krum.
• Muggles Do It Meliorate:
  • An case appears to explain why Theodore Nott, a Slytherin, is in Muggle Studies. When asked why he was there, Nott notes that his father learned the hard way that Muggles weren't every bit harmless as he thought after being shot on a trip to Las Vegas, and wants his son to learn as much near Muggles as possible.
  • There is also why some students begin to use pens and notebook newspaper instead of quills and parchment.
• My Friends... and Zoidberg: At the get-go, Harry insists on referring to his group of friends "The Trio Plus Neville" because "Quartet" sounded too much like a group for musicians for his liking.
• Noodle Implements: Narcissa Malfoy doesn't like to exist around Sirius later on the Marauders pranked her while she was on a appointment using "a frog, a canteen of pinkish hair dye, and a trampoline."
• Noodle Incident: Harry's first summer with Sirius is by and large discipline to this; we know that he and Sirius helped Luna and her dad rails down a "Blibbering Humdinger" in Zaire (with little luck), that he was forced to speak French for vi weeks (which he maintains was the worst thing that happened to him in recent retentiveness), and that he, Fred, and George locked Percy in a pyramid for three hours.
• No Periods, Menstruation: Averted twice. Moaning Myrtle was killed during her "time of the month", which she offers as an explanation of why she'south emotionally volatile all the fourth dimension. In third yr Lavender receives bad news from dwelling that her pet rabbit has died on the date seemingly foretold by Professor Trelawney, and that, worse, her menses has also just begun (a revelation which causes the male Gryffindors to make hasty excuses to leave).
• Not Even Bothering with an Excuse: Harry doesn't actually bother to hide that he knows things he actually, actually shouldn't. HE's just equally probable to claim that his scar told him as he is to tell the true source, and he often namedrops future/previous-timeline events (like how Dobby "took a knife for him once"). Since everyone thinks he's completely insane, he gets away with it.
• One time Done, Never Forgotten: After Harry becomes a participant in the Triwizard Tournament, he complains that the adults are more than worried about how he was entered in the tournament and non why:

  Sirius: If it were whatsoever other student potentially in danger, they would probably be highly concerned, but you lot go after trolls because you're bored.
  Harry: That was only the in one case!

• Only in Information technology for the Money: Well, Harry's not just interested in money, only he does deliberately projection this persona, to the bespeak where he manages to convince everyone that he'southward not the Heir of Slytherin because if he were able to petrify people, he would be charging to do it instead of doing it for free.
• Only Sane Homo: Neville, who'south part of the main grouping this time along with the trio, is oftentimes the vox of sense and reason when Ron and/or Hermione are being unreasonable and/or Harry is existence a troll.
• Paranoia Gambit: When Sirius becomes the History of Magic professor at Hogwarts, he decides to play the long game when it comes to tormenting Snape.

  Sirius: It'southward going to take every ounce of my considerable self-control, only I desire to await until he'due south so paranoid he tin can't sleep before I offset in on him.

• Peggy Sue: Harry and Sirius get sent back in fourth dimension and decide to fix things and goof around in the meantime.
• Pillow Pistol: Pillow Wand, rather. Harry manifestly sleeps with his wand nether his pillow and will hex anyone who disturbs him while sleeping.
• The Ability of Love: Harry tells Sirius how he survived Voldemort'due south second Killing Expletive through the power of love. Sirius responds that Harry should come with a more badass explanation than that.
• Power Trio: Double Subverted. Though Harry, Ron, and Hermione become friends like before, Neville is added to the ranks right from the become-go, making them a Ability Quartet. Even so, Ron, Hermione, and Neville end up more of a unit without Harry, making them a Ability Trio and Harry more of the Draco to their Crabbe and Goyle. On the other mitt, Harry ended up forming a unit with Luna equally his closest cohort.
• Precision F-Strike: When Cedric hears the offset task of the playoffs will be to steal an egg from a nesting dragon mother, he takes a deep breath and just says, "Shit."
• Psychic Powers: Harry'south main excuse for knowing what he does is that his scar is psychic. Notation that he isn't psychic — merely his scar. Professor Trelawney calls him a Seer by proxy.
• Refuge in Audacity: The main fashion Harry gets away with everything that he does? Practice it with total confidence and zilch shame. And make sure that whatever "it" is, information technology'due south as over-the-top and ridiculous as humanly possible. Most people are and then stunned (or so exasperated) that they simply ... let him.
• Replacement Goldfish: After Mrs. Norris is killed by the basilisk (the simply casualty in that incident), Harry has Mrs. Figg send Filch a kitten, to Sirius's horror. The new true cat is seen working alongside Filch similar Mrs. Norris did and he seems to like her.
• The Rival: Draco for Harry, but in a way that is far more friendly than in canon. Neither likes the other's friends and they sometimes don't speak to each other, but more often than not they are on rather skilful terms. Information technology may be best described every bit a cross betwixt this and Vitriolic Best Buds.
• Rule of 3: In the centre of dinner in the Great Hall, Harry makes a show of inviting Luna to exist his date to the Yule Brawl. The other students are impressed. Then Neville invites Ginny. And then Ron invites Hermione.

  The students hesitated for a few moments in case someone ELSE wanted to take that opportunity to ask someone to the Yule Ball. When no i did, the applause became thunderous and girls swarmed in on the only iii with dates to press for details.

• Running Gag:
  • Information technology'southward a taxation deductible!
  • The ever-spreading rumor that Draco Malfoy is secretly the lovechild of Narcissa Malfoy and Severus Snape.
  • Wrackspurts!
  • Harry's psychic scar.
  • Harry's "Oh, that reminds me, Cedric? Graveyards," and Cedric reflexively responding, "Run similar hell."
• Sarcastic Confession: Harry occasionally tells the truth about how he knows certain things, stating specifically that no 1 would believe the truth. In chapter nineteen, he recaps the entirety of the original timeline to a disbelieving Dumbledore.
• Scaled Up: Harry'south Animagus grade is a ophidian.
• Screw the Rules, I Have Money!: Harry is constantly able to ransom government officials for whatever he wants, including a Time-Turner for Hermione and paperwork for a pardon for Sirius.
• Fix Correct What In one case Was Wrong: Downplayed. Harry spends some time defeating Voldemort before with a far lower body count, but admits that the futurity he came from was already pretty skillful.
• She Is Not My Girlfriend:

  Remus: Nymphadora is not my girlfriend!
  Harry: She lets yous call her Nymphadora.

• Shout-Out:
  • Luna has seen The Princess Bride and read The Movie of Dorian Gray.
  • Moody mentions The Dark Side, unintentionally referencing Star Wars to Harry's amusement.
  • Harry tries to convince Cedric that the Great Pumpkin is real.
  • Harry and Sirius quote lines from Pinky and the Encephalon.
  • At 1 point, Draco smiles, and Harry muses:
  • At one point, Snape lampshades this trope.

    Snape: POTTER! Enough virtually your mythological creatures and your obscure Muggle literature!

• Spared by the Adaptation: Everyone, except Mrs. Norris and Voldemort. Also, Professor Binns' ghost gets exorcised past Sirius and moves onto the after life but he was already dead.
• Stating the Simple Solution: When diary-Riddle tries to extort Harry for how he survived the Killing Curse, Harry points out that he doesn't demand that information to kill him — he merely needs to utilise a different spell. Despite knowing this, Voldemort never really does that.
• The Stations of the Catechism: Harry occasionally uses these to earn coin by betting on highly improbable events. The nigh obvious of these is during the third year Quidditch match between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff when dementors show up out of nowhere to crash the lucifer, despite not beingness stationed at the school. Cedric catches the Snitch, at which point Harry gets a big payout from students that he'd bet (through a proxy, of course) about the outcome of the match with.
• Stunned Silence: The Death Eaters' reaction when Harry throws off Voldemort's Imperius Curse and proceeds to mouth off at him.
• Stupidest Thing I've Ever Heard:
  • At the beginning of Harry'due south second year:

    Harry: [Dobby's] apparently gotten information technology into his head that Hogwarts is a walking death trap and therefore I'grand amend off with my Muggle relatives and in particular my Muggle uncle who could snap at any time and try and strangle me. Therefore, he sealed the portal to the platform and Ron and I got bored so we decided non to wait for everyone to gear up the mess and just fly here.
    Draco: That has got to be the stupidest affair I've ever heard.

  • And later...

    George: Besides, the Slytherin team manifestly couldn't find anybody to spy every bit they showed up in person. And full Quidditch gear.
    Harry: Why in the earth are they wearing their Quidditch robes to practise in? That has got to exist the stupidest thing I've seen all solar day.
    Fred: All solar day isn't very long, Harry. It tin can't exist more than ten.

• Certain, Let's Become with That: Played for laughs a couple of times.
  • When Harry's denying having been fugitive Draco:

    Draco: Are you sure? Considering I seem to retrieve y'all albeit y'all were avoiding me old in November.
    Harry: Really, Draco, yous do say the strangest things. Now why would I become and practice a dizzy thing like that?
    Draco: Avoid me?
    Harry: Well, really, I meant 'admit to avoiding you lot', but let's become with that. Why would I avoid y'all, Draco?

  • At the Quidditch World Loving cup:

  Sirius: Top box. It was part of my reparation. Of course, the rest of it went to buying Harry a Firebolt, but ...
  Harry: You don't mind, because I'thousand your godson and you lot love me?
  Sirius: ... Let'southward get with that, sure.

  • Played straight with Charlie Weasley hinting well-nigh the Triwizard Tournament:

    Charlie: I might be seeing y'all all sooner than you lot think.
    Fred: Why?
    Harry: Are y'all going to be in Britain for Christmas?
    Charlie: ... Let's go with that.

• Surrounded past Idiots: Harry considers most of the human population to be mindless sheep.

  "Harry, yous've got 'I volition exist besieged by the stupidity of the general population' four times this month," Ron pointed out.
  "Really?" Harry said mildly. "But 4 times? This must be a good month, and then."

• Talking Is a Free Action: After being transported to the graveyard, Cedric, Fred, & Harry hash out what to practise (in place of 'run like hell') before Harry stands up to face Voldemort'south minion.
• Trickster Archetype: The first thing Harry does when meeting the Weasley twins (once more) is trick them into starting a rumor, stunning them and Ron. He later encourages others to try to lose the House Cup, calling it a "Suck-up" Cup. So at that place'due south, well, everything else he does ...
• Troperiffic: Tropes are invoked, discussed and parodied all the time. Several tropes are fifty-fifty mentioned by name — Breathy Lies, Cannon Provender, The Ability of Honey, Unexplained Recovery (by its old name, "I Got Better"), UST and Unresolved Sexual Tension (spelled both ways, in fact)...
• Uncle Penny Bags: Harry both makes and spends coin far more than extravagantly this fourth dimension effectually.
• Unresolved Sexual Tension: Harry points out that Draco and Ron's rivalry looks suspiciously like "UST" (Hermione finds information technology hilarious, whereas the acronym goes right over Ron's caput). He later thinks Hermione and Ron'due south relationship clearly falls nether this also.
• Vitriolic All-time Buds: Draco and Harry. See "The Rival" above.
• A Sorcerer Did It: A couple times, when someone asks how Harry knows something, he says it's "Magic" and refuses to elaborate.
• World of Snark: Unsurprisingly, given the source material. Harry, of course, gets to do it the most, but almost of the characters, even background ones, go a few snarky lines. A special mention should probably go to Neville, given how a few changes in his beginning scenes make a huge difference between his canon self and what he is like in the fanfic.
• Worst. Any. Ever!: Sirius calls himself the worst guardian ever afterward Harry dies again. Harry assures him he couldn't possibly be worse than the Dursleys were. For some reason, Sirius doesn't find this comforting.
• Worth Information technology:
  • Harry decides the look on Snape's face when Harry turns in a bezoar as an antidote is worth the high expense he paid for it.
  • In a rare serious example, Harry has to tell himself that information technology'southward worth it to be obnoxious to Voldemort fifty-fifty when he'due south being hit by yet another Cruciatus Curse.
