And then perchance everything didn't piece of work out perfectly for Harry. Still, most of his friends survived, he'd gotten married, and was about to go a father. If just he'd have stayed away from the Veil, he wouldn't have had to become dorsum and practise everything once more.

Non to be confused with the trope Oh, No... Not Again!

---

This fanfic provides examples of:

• Adults Are Useless: The adults are more than useless than usual, just mainly because they don't have cognition from the future. Harry does sometimes get them involved on purpose when they can help, such equally going direct to Dumbledore when Hagrid gets Norbert.
• All Therapists Are Muggles: Harry remembers that this was a problem for Cho Chang in recovering from Cedric's decease. She needed therapy, but had to edit her story considering in that location weren't any wizarding therapists.
• E'er Second All-time: As Harry miserably notes, Gryffindor will never lose the House Cup every bit long as he is at Hogwarts because he is Dumbledore's favorite educatee, making every other house this by default. The only year where this is justified equally not due to Dumbledore'south favoritism is Third Year, where the fault lies on Sirius for giving fifty points to whoever chosen Voldemort ... well, "Voldemort". Gryffindor, being the House of the Brave and all, was the one who had the biggest advantage — even Ron, 1 of the few Gryffindors who had issues saying the name, stopped flinching upon hearing it past Christmas. That didn't stop Harry from being stubborn and avoiding maxim the name himself (unfortunately for him, he slipped up at the End of the Year Feast and was promptly awarded terminal-minute points).
  • Otherwise, Draco notes that Hufflepuff is lucky to go a win occasionally, Slytherin tends to exist consistently summit two but may drop if someone goes besides far with a prank, Gryffindor is also up at that place with Slytherin and their fall to tertiary place hinges on if someone messes up spectacularly, while Ravenclaw is usually second or third and sometimes wins through consistency. He also notes that it'due south unfair for Hufflepuff every bit beingness responsible is expected of them and thus tends to reduce their chances of winning points.
• Anachronism Stew: A one-off example; Harry declares that Lockhart's favorite colour is "Famous (formerly, Hot Magenta)". The author explains in the end-note that Crayola didn't rename that crayon until 2008, only she thought information technology was just too good to turn down.
• Artifact of Attraction: Sirius starts to put on the Slytherin Horcrux ring despite Harry alarm him that it would impale him. He manages to stop himself when Harry says, "Sirius, if you put that on, then Snape will have to save your life. SNAPE."
• Artistic License – History: Used for Rule of Funny. When doing Lockhart's quiz, Harry answers "Famous (formerly Hot Magenta)" for Lockhart's favorite color. The author notes that Crayola didn't change the proper noun until 2008, but thought the opportunity was also adept to pass up.
• Artistic License – Law: When Sirius'due south innocence is inevitably proven, Harry browbeats Fudge (who is conveniently right there) into issuing the official pardon immediately. Legal pardons in the UK are issued only to those who are "morally innocent" — i.east, people who are definitely legally guilty of the crime, but have been judged not to have done anything actually wrong. Cases like Sirius's would be handled by a dissimilar procedure — given that he was imprisoned without a trial and therefore was probably never actually convicted of any offense, Fudge could have but rescinded the order for his abort.
• Attention Whore: This fourth dimension, the claims that Harry enjoys his fame and seeks out attention are absolutely true. Partially so he tin can brand money off of his celebrity condition and put that money to good use, and partially because, well ... it's fun.
• Badass Teacher: Sirius takes over every bit the History of Magic teacher. The badass part 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 cut of a less-than-accurate book 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 volition be, because he's lived this solar day before, while other times, he simply knows them well enough to judge.
• Across the Impossible: Draco notes the ridiculously loftier bespeak totals during Harry's Third Twelvemonth, which is promptly blamed on Sirius for giving points out "like candy".
• Big "NO!": Fred and George when they see the Quidditch field is now a hedge and Harry at one of the times Hermione wins fifty points after he dedicated himself to losing the Business firm Cup.
• Bowwow in Sheep'southward Clothing: Harry is much more of a Cloud Cuckoolander this fourth dimension round, causing the general population to view him every bit somewhere between batshit insane and merely total of it, but he's — usually — a squeamish 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's 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 lot came in third.

• Blatant Lies: Used by Harry when a Sarcastic Confession simply won't cut it, or when he feels similar information technology.
  • Invoked in i case:

    Molly: This is much better gossip than last year's 'Albus Dumbledore was madly in love with Gellert Grindelwald.' Honestly, you'd recall Rita Skeeter would learn to stop making up such sensational stories. Patently Dumbledore was struck speechless past the breathy lies and thus couldn't be bothered to deny information technology.

  • "How do you know that?" "My psychic scar told me."
  • Besides, this exchange is Blatant Lies for the Hogwarts personnel present as well as Harry and Sirius:

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

• Born Lucky: Harry gives this impression to those around him, since everything seems to work out for him. Of course, he has an unfair advantage they don't know about ...
• Sabbatical Episode: Nix of import happens in Harry's new 3rd year, but the author didn't want to skip over it entirely. It by and large covers the elective classes.
• Broken Pedestal: Although Harry still obviously respects Dumbledore and tries to maintain something of their old human relationship, it's also clear that he'south aware of simply how fallible Dumbledore is and how many mistakes the old homo has made.
• The Caligula: Parodied with Neville's 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's bored" and more "ban Mon because it's too depressing and let people pay to non annals equally Animagi".
• Cannon Fodder: How the Sorting Hat describes the Gryffindors.
• Coincidental Danger Dialog: Harry uses this (along with a nifty deal of sarcasm) every fourth dimension he and Voldemort have a showdown.

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

• Cassandra Truth: Encounter Blatant Lies. Though, in this instance, information technology's unknown whether Rita managed to piece this together through other sources or if she was just making things upwards after somehow learning almost Dumbledore and Grindelwald'southward friendship and accidentally hit the mark full on.
• Chickification: Inverted, merely non to the extent of Xenafication. Fleur does considerably improve in the Triwizard Tournament. Word of God (God for this universe, not Rowling) says that this is because the reasons for her lowered points in canon (attacked by Grindylows, the dragon breathing fire on her) were chance events not likely to exist repeated.
• Complaining Virtually 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 Boob: How people react to Harry talking about his scar. Fabricated more explicit when a frustrated Hermione asks if she should say "sorry" for doubting Harry'due south scar's "predictions", and Harry inclines his head every bit though pretending to consult with the scar before answering that the scar says an amends would exist nice.
• Continuity Nod: Occasionally, mention will be made of past events.
  • Harry gets Hermione a copy of Hogwarts: A History for Christmas in start year. In second 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 upward when the group start discussing what classes they'll be taking at the start of 3rd year.
  • In 3rd twelvemonth Divination class Ron sees in his crystal brawl a vision of Harry and Fred competing in the Pentawizard Playoffs the post-obit year (not that he knows what he'due south seeing). When Harry and Fred become selected, Neville reminds Hermione of this.
• Conveniently Timed Assail from Behind: In the concluding boxing, Sirius hits Voldemort from behind.
• Crazy-Prepared: When Pettigrew is caught, Luna pulls out an Animagus-proof jar that her father had her behave around in instance she ever ran across an illegal Animagus she wanted to capture.

  • Harry hires a squad of trackers who successfully observe a Crumple-Horned Snorkack, proving that Luna was correct nearly them all forth.
  • Harry comes off like this to others, equally most things he says are batshit insane, but slowly people realize that the more over-the-top Harry'south predictions are, the more accurate he gets.

  Lockhart: Tin you beat someone to death with a newspaper napkin?
  Harry: [shrugs] I'll accept fun trying.

• Deadly Euphemism: Parodied:

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

• Deathbringer the Ambrosial: Averted, much to Harry's dislike. In the original timeline, he and Ginny got a rabbit, and she refused to accept his name suggestion of "Mega Ultra Flame Deathsman", instead going with a more standard "Flopsy".
• Death by Accommodation: Mrs. Norris ends up killed by the basilisk during second year.
• Deconstruction Fic: An affectionate, Deconstructive Parody using the Peggy Sue framework. Lampshades hung, inconsistencies trounced flat, and characters attacked at angles that reveal new aspects. And it has a ball doing it.
• A Dog Ate My Homework: 1 of the papers Lupin tries to class was chewed up by the textbook Hagrid assigned.
• Practice Non Call Me "Paul": Only three people are allowed to call Tonks by her birth name Nymphadora. Two of them are Charlie and Cedric because she lost a bet to each of them (and doesn't brand such bets anymore). Remus can phone call her that besides, though the significance of it escapes him at commencement.
• Double Standard: Neville points out to Hermione that attributing their obsession with Quidditch to their gender could be considered sexist.

• Emo Teen: Harry accuses Diary!Riddle of being 1. So does Sirius, for that matter.
• Everybody Knew Already: Almost dragons beingness the beginning task in the Pentawizard Playoffs. Bagman is not pleased that "the champions (and George) all spectacularly failed to react":

  Bagman [Annoyed]: Oh come up on,y'all could at least pretend to be surprised!
  Harry [Obliging]: Gosh, this has got to be the nigh unexpected upshot I've ever encountered! Dragons? I don't retrieve I've fifty-fifty seen a dragon!
  Cedric: That's a little over-the-top, don't you think?
  Harry: I'm reacting for half dozen people here; accept information technology or get out it.

• Everyone Can Come across It: Ron acts shocked at the idea of asking Hermione to the Yule Ball. Harry and Neville signal out how obvious his crush on her is.
• Exact Words: Dobby jinxes the Bludger to go after Harry in 2d twelvemonth despite Harry having gotten Draco to make Dobby hope non to save Harry'southward life.

  Harry: Wait... Didn't Draco order you not to attempt to relieve my life or to try and bulldoze me from the castle?
  Dobby: (looking downright mischievous) Dobby wasn't trying to save the Groovy Harry Potter'southward life nor was he trying to send him away from Hogwarts. Dobby was trying to break Harry Potter's arm.

• Fantastic Racism:
  • At ane point, information technology'due south shown that fifty-fifty the Weasleys aren't completely immune to the pureblood mentality when Ron mentions they never talk about their 2nd cousin who's a Squib (and an accountant). Harry notes that it's to Ron's credit that he doesn't grasp why the cousin is an outcast and that he'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 dead or alive.
• Fiction 500: Harry exploits his fame and noesis of the future to open upwards several business ventures over the class of the fic, and as a effect he's able to buy basically annihilation he wants.
• Foreshadowing: A subtle inkling to who Barty Crouch Jr. is impersonating this time around happens when Percy offers Crouch Sr. a beverage at the quidditch cup. Mr Crouch declines considering he has brought his own potable before taking a sip from his flask.
• Fun with Acronyms: Hermione's house-elf rights organisation becomes SHOE: Southtiptop Hurting Our Due eastlves.
• Gender Bough: When a certain trickster gets into the History of Magic mail service, he warns that this might be one of the random "amusing" results of falling asleep in class.
• Genius Ditz: Lockhart is still incompetent as a teacher, but Harry admits he's a genius when it comes to anything dealing with the media.
• Proficient Thing You Can Heal: Or at least, Adept Thing You Can Become Healed.

  Sphinx: Right. Practice not worry, though, as I am not permitted to kill yous. That said, Healers tin piece of work all sorts of miracles these days.

• Grammer Nazi: Harry trademarked SPEW for his Grammar Nazi organization 'Stop People Abusing Words.' He chose to spell 'Abusing' with an E to exist ironic (and make it fit the acronym).
• Handwave: How Harry goes back in fourth dimension is barely explained and goes against canon, but the setup barely matters.
• Hard Truth Aesop: In-universe. Sirius tells his History of Magic form the story of Voldemort's parents and asks them what the moral is; Lavender suggests, "Don't assume the guy you're feeding beloved potions is in love with you and cease."
• Difficult Work Hardly Works: Draco points out that Hufflepuff never comes out alee because working difficult is such an ingrained, defining trait of theirs. "What are they going to do? Do exactly what they're supposed to do MORE?"
• Harmful to Minors: Neville kills Quirrell in the Bedroom of Philosopher's Stone and is understandably shaken by it. Albus and Harry attempt their all-time to comfort him.
• Harsher in Hindsight: An in-universe case. Mentally being an adult lends Harry a dissimilar perspective on many incidents, such equally now being horrified at Neville'south Hilariously Abusive Childhood. invoked
• Accept You lot Told Anyone Else?: Defied when Harry thinks Lockhart might be planning to steal his Invisibility Cloak. He makes a point of telling Lockhart that at to the lowest degree ii dozen other students (whose names he is not maxim) tin can confirm that information technology'due south his. Lockhart gives upward and doesn't take the thought any further.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: Too 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 immune to apply Tonks's Embarrassing Outset Proper name considering they won ane of these. She has vowed not to make these bets anymore — much to Harry's dismay, every bit he would probable win easily with his unfair advantage.
• Hypocrite: Harry (affectionately) thinks this when Sirius insists Snape should really let go of his resentment. Considering Sirius, himself, is quite mature in that regard.
• If You Dice, I Call Your Stuff: Ginny to Harry upon facing the 3rd year Gryffindor vs. Slytherin quidditch match:

  "...[I]f you lot dice, can I accept your broom?"

• If You Ever Hurt Her: Averted.

  Remus [Mazed]: Aren't ... you going to warn me about breaking [Tonks'] center?...
  Sirius: Why, are you planning on breaking her heart?
  Remus: Well, no, but—
  Sirius: Then she can handle herself. She is well on her way to condign an Auror, after all; and I'm sure she could castrate you far better than I e'er could.

• Insane Troll Logic: Harry does this a lot in order to explain how he knows certain facts that he shouldn't know yet or when he's messing with people.
• Insistent Terminology: Harry keeps calling their group "The Trio Plus Neville" considering "The Quartet" sounds too much like they should exist musicians.
• I Reject 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 instance:

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

• Ironic Echo: Harry returns one of Dumbledore's cryptic remarks to the human being himself.

  Harry: The truth. Information technology is a beautiful and terrible thing, and should therefore be treated with slap-up caution.
  Dumbledore: That is near unhelpful and I doubtable deliberately cryptic.
  Harry: Well, if it is it's probably considering I got that from a reticent and secretive to a fault old homo.

• It Tickled Me: Much of what Harry does is to avoid the crap that's going to happen, just well-nigh of it he does for the hell of it. The main reason he doesn't tell everybody his bodily age is that everyone would then expect him to act similar it.
• Jerk with a Centre of Aureate:
  • Harry comes off as this, specially to the other characters who tin can't hear his thoughts. He may spend the story existence an attention-seeking Troll, but he does it while also doing everything he can to salve or improve the lives of near everyone.
  • Draco is this in the new timeline, since he and Harry manage to become friends. Prolonged exposure to the rest of the gang ways his prejudices aren't nigh as stiff, and past the end, he's really non so bad.
• Karma Houdini: Lucius Malfoy gets away with everything he does. Again.
• Keet: Harry is a lot happier in this timeline, and is often cheerfully cracking jokes, running headfirst into danger, and mostly enjoying every second of his existence.
• Kill It with Fire: Most of the Horcruxes are destroyed using Fiendfyre.
• Lampshade Hanging: The story is practically fabricated of them.
• Late to the Punchline: It takes Harry time-travelling and hearing Lockhart's comments virtually fame a 2d time (this time as an adult) to realize that Lockhart was joking. (Of course, he's still a self-centered, fame-hungry git, but he's not nigh equally 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 it sounds similar the championship of a book ...
• Loophole Abuse:
  • In Harry's 4th year, he was supposed to work with antidotes and "turned in a bezoar again".

    Harry: It'south kind of expensive, but the look on his face up and the fact that he can't technically fail me because the consignment was to find a way 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 can participate!
  • Dobby turns out to be unexpectedly skilful at this during the 2nd year. Despite Harry having Draco order Dobby to "not effort to save Harry Potter" and "non try to go on Harry Potter abroad from Hogwarts", Dobby can yet attempt specific things he's not prohibited from (such as enchanting a Bludger to attack Harry, since he hasn't been ordered to "not break Harry Potter'south arm"), which may lead to Harry leaving safely.
• Dear Potion: Discussed. When Sirius explains Voldemort'due south backstory and asks his grade what the moral is, Lavander says, "Don't assume the guy you lot're feeding dear potions [to] is in honey with yous and finish?" Seamus is disturbed by this.
• The Masquerade: At the Yule Ball, Luna namechecks the wizarding earth's policy of hiding from the muggles.
• Mauve Shirt: Some readers idea Cedric Diggory was being set up for this, again. "When I was rereading GoF I noticed how ridiculously likable [Cedric] was. Seriously, it's like JKR did that just and then everyone would be sad when he died…"[ane] He's promoted to a supporting character. And doesn't dice.
• Mental Time Travel: The way Harry and Sirius end up going back.
• Mentors: Lockhart mentors Harry in dealing with existence a glory. They later try to give fame advice to Krum.
• Muggles Do It Better:
  • An example appears to explain why Theodore Nott, a Slytherin, is in Muggle Studies. When asked why he was in that location, Nott notes that his father learned the difficult way that Muggles weren't as harmless as he thought later being shot on a trip to Las Vegas, and wants his son to learn equally much about Muggles as possible.
  • There is also why some students begin to employ pens and notebook paper 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 likewise much like a group for musicians for his liking.
• Noodle Implements: Narcissa Malfoy doesn't like to be effectually Sirius after the Marauders pranked her while she was on a appointment using "a frog, a bottle of pink pilus dye, and a trampoline."
• Noodle Incident: Harry'south first summertime with Sirius is more often than not bailiwick to this; we know that he and Sirius helped Luna and her dad track down a "Blibbering Humdinger" in Zaire (with little luck), that he was forced to speak French for six weeks (which he maintains was the worst matter that happened to him in recent memory), and that he, Fred, and George locked Percy in a pyramid for three hours.
• No Periods, Menstruum: Averted twice. Moaning Myrtle was killed during her "time of the month", which she offers equally an explanation of why she's emotionally volatile all the time. In 3rd yr Lavender receives bad news from dwelling that her pet rabbit has died on the date seemingly foretold past Professor Trelawney, and that, worse, her period has also just begun (a revelation which causes the male person Gryffindors to make hasty excuses to leave).
• Not Even Bothering with an Alibi: Harry doesn't really bother to hibernate that he knows things he really, actually shouldn't. HE'due south just as likely to claim that his scar told him as he is to tell the truthful source, and he ofttimes namedrops future/previous-timeline events (like how Dobby "took a knife for him once"). Since everyone thinks he'southward completely insane, he gets away with it.
• Once Done, Never Forgotten: After Harry becomes a participant in the Triwizard Tournament, he complains that the adults are more worried about how he was entered in the tournament and not why:

  Sirius: If information technology were whatever other student potentially in danger, they would probably exist highly concerned, but you go after trolls because you lot're bored.
  Harry: That was but the one time!

• Only in Information technology for the Coin: Well, Harry'southward non only interested in money, but he does deliberately projection this persona, to the bespeak where he manages to convince anybody that he'southward not the Heir of Slytherin considering if he were able to petrify people, he would exist charging to practise it instead of doing it for gratis.
• Merely Sane Man: Neville, who's role of the main group this time forth with the trio, is often the vocalization of sense and reason when Ron and/or Hermione are being unreasonable and/or Harry is being 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's going to take every ounce of my considerable self-control, but I want to expect until he's then paranoid he can't slumber before I beginning in on him.

• Peggy Sue: Harry and Sirius get sent dorsum in fourth dimension and make up one's mind to fix things and goof around in the meantime.
• Pillow Pistol: Pillow Wand, rather. Harry apparently sleeps with his wand under his pillow and will hex anyone who disturbs him while sleeping.
• The Power of Honey: Harry tells Sirius how he survived Voldemort's 2nd Killing Curse through the power of dearest. Sirius responds that Harry should come up with a more badass explanation than that.
• Power Trio: Double Subverted. Though Harry, Ron, and Hermione become friends like earlier, Neville is added to the ranks right from the get-become, making them a Ability Quartet. Nevertheless, Ron, Hermione, and Neville end upwardly more of a unit without Harry, making them a Power Trio and Harry more of the Draco to their Crabbe and Goyle. On the other manus, Harry ended upward forming a unit with Luna as his closest cohort.
• Precision F-Strike: When Cedric hears the kickoff task of the playoffs volition be to steal an egg from a nesting dragon mother, he takes a deep breath and just says, "Shit."
• Psychic Powers: Harry'south main alibi for knowing what he does is that his scar is psychic. Note that he isn't psychic — just his scar. Professor Trelawney calls him a Seer past proxy.
• Refuge in Brazenness: The primary manner Harry gets away with everything that he does? Do it with total confidence and zero shame. And make sure that any "it" is, it's equally over-the-meridian and ridiculous as humanly possible. About people are so stunned (or so exasperated) that they just ... let him.
• Replacement Goldfish: After Mrs. Norris is killed past the basilisk (the only prey in that incident), Harry has Mrs. Figg send Filch a kitten, to Sirius's horror. The new cat is seen working alongside Filch similar Mrs. Norris did and he seems to like her.
• The Rival: Draco for Harry, but in a mode that is far more than 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 expert terms. It may exist best described equally a cantankerous between this and Vitriolic Best Buds.
• Rule of Three: In the middle of dinner in the Great Hall, Harry makes a testify of inviting Luna to exist his date to the Yule Ball. The other students are impressed. Then Neville invites Ginny. Then Ron invites Hermione.

  The students hesitated for a few moments in case someone ELSE wanted to take that opportunity to inquire someone to the Yule Brawl. When no one did, the adulation became thunderous and girls swarmed in on the just 3 with dates to press for details.

• Running Gag:
  • It's a tax 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 ane would believe the truth. In chapter 19, he recaps the entirety of the original timeline to a disbelieving Dumbledore.
• Scaled Up: Harry'south Animagus class is a serpent.
• Screw the Rules, I Have Money!: Harry is constantly able to ransom government officials for whatever he wants, including a Fourth dimension-Turner for Hermione and paperwork for a pardon for Sirius.
• Set Right What One time Was Incorrect: Downplayed. Harry spends some time defeating Voldemort earlier with a far lower trunk count, but admits that the time to come he came from was already pretty good.
• She Is Not My Girlfriend:

  Remus: Nymphadora is not my girlfriend!
  Harry: She lets y'all call her Nymphadora.

• Shout-Out:
  • Luna has seen The Princess Bride and read The Picture of Dorian Greyness.
  • Moody mentions The Nighttime Side, unintentionally referencing Star Wars to Harry's amusement.
  • Harry tries to convince Cedric that the Smashing Pumpkin is real.
  • Harry and Sirius quote lines from Pinky and the Brain.
  • At one betoken, Draco smiles, and Harry muses:
  • At one bespeak, Snape lampshades this trope.

    Snape: POTTER! Plenty about your mythological creatures and your obscure Muggle literature!

• Spared by the Adaptation: Everyone, except Mrs. Norris and Voldemort. Also, Professor Binns' ghost gets exorcised by 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 need that information to kill him — he just needs to use a different spell. Despite knowing this, Voldemort never actually does that.
• The Stations of the Canon: Harry occasionally uses these to earn coin by betting on highly improbable events. The most obvious of these is during the third year Quidditch match between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff when dementors show upward out of nowhere to crash the match, despite not being 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) virtually the outcome of the match with.
• Stunned Silence: The Death Eaters' reaction when Harry throws off Voldemort's Imperius Expletive and gain to mouth off at him.
• Stupidest Thing I've Ever Heard:
  • At the beginning of Harry's second yr:

    Harry: [Dobby'due south] plainly gotten information technology into his head that Hogwarts is a walking expiry trap and therefore I'thousand amend off with my Muggle relatives and in particular my Muggle uncle who could snap at any fourth dimension and endeavour and strangle me. Therefore, he sealed the portal to the platform and Ron and I got bored then we decided non to wait for everyone to fix the mess and merely wing here.
    Draco: That has got to exist the stupidest thing I've e'er heard.

  • And subsequently...

    George: As well, the Slytherin squad patently couldn't find anybody to spy as they showed up in person. And full Quidditch gear.
    Harry: Why in the world are they wearing their Quidditch robes to practice in? That has got to exist the stupidest affair I've seen all twenty-four hours.
    Fred: All solar day isn't very long, Harry. It tin can't be more ten.

• Sure, Permit'due south Go with That: Played for laughs a couple of times.
  • When Harry's denying having been avoiding Draco:

    Draco: Are you sure? Considering I seem to call back you admitting you lot were fugitive me old in Nov.
    Harry: Really, Draco, you do say the strangest things. Now why would I go and do a empty-headed thing like that?
    Draco: Avoid me?
    Harry: Well, actually, I meant 'acknowledge to avoiding you', simply let's go 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 grade, the residuum of information technology went to buying Harry a Firebolt, but ...
  Harry: Y'all don't mind, because I'm your godson and y'all love me?
  Sirius: ... Allow's go with that, sure.

  • Played straight with Charlie Weasley hinting almost the Triwizard Tournament:

    Charlie: I might be seeing you lot all sooner than you retrieve.
    Fred: Why?
    Harry: Are you going to exist in United kingdom for Christmas?
    Charlie: ... Let's become with that.

• Surrounded by Idiots: Harry considers virtually of the homo population to be mindless sheep.

  "Harry, you lot've got 'I volition exist besieged past the stupidity of the general population' iv times this calendar month," Ron pointed out.
  "Really?" Harry said mildly. "Just iv times? This must be a adept month, then."

• Talking Is a Costless Activeness: Subsequently being transported to the graveyard, Cedric, Fred, & Harry discuss what to do (in place of 'run like hell') before Harry stands up to face up Voldemort's minion.
• Trickster Archetype: The get-go thing Harry does when coming together the Weasley twins (over again) is play tricks them into starting a rumor, stunning them and Ron. He later encourages others to attempt to lose the Firm Cup, calling information technology a "Suck-up" Cup. And then there'south, well, everything else he does ...
• Troperiffic: Tropes are invoked, discussed and parodied all the time. Several tropes are even mentioned past name — Breathy Lies, Cannon Fodder, The Power of Love, Unexplained Recovery (by its one-time proper noun, "I Got Improve"), UST and Unresolved Sexual Tension (spelled both ways, in fact)...
• Uncle Penny Bags: Harry both makes and spends coin far more extravagantly this time around.
• 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 on thinks Hermione and Ron's human relationship conspicuously falls under this as well.
• Vitriolic Best Buds: Draco and Harry. See "The Rival" above.
• A Wizard Did Information technology: A couple times, when someone asks how Harry knows something, he says it's "Magic" and refuses to elaborate.
• Globe of Snark: Unsurprisingly, given the source fabric. Harry, of form, gets to practise it the nigh, simply most of the characters, fifty-fifty 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 betwixt his canon self and what he is like in the fanfic.
• Worst. Whatever. Ever!: Sirius calls himself the worst guardian ever later Harry dies again. Harry assures him he couldn't possibly be worse than the Dursleys were. For some reason, Sirius doesn't observe this comforting.
• Worth It:
  • Harry decides the look on Snape'southward face when Harry turns in a bezoar every bit an antidote is worth the high expense he paid for it.
  • In a rare serious example, Harry has to tell himself that it's worth it to be obnoxious to Voldemort even when he's being hit past all the same another Cruciatus Curse.
