Oh God Not Again Sarah1281 Ao3

So mayhap everything didn't work out perfectly for Harry. Still, about of his friends survived, he'd gotten married, and was about to become a father. If only he'd accept stayed away from the Veil, he wouldn't accept had to go back and do everything again.

Oh God Not Once more! is a Harry Potter fanfiction past Sarah1281, ao3 link here. An developed Harry gets sent back in time and makes information technology his goal in life to save as many lives from Voldemort as he tin can. Okay, that's a lie, really. Not to say he doesn't practise that, just he spends most of his time enjoying himself and wreaking as much havoc as possible. Too an Affectionate Parody, and then people and events are looked at and discussed from a unlike perspective when deemed appropriate. Or funny.

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

---

This fanfic provides examples of:

• Adults Are Useless: The adults are more useless than usual, but mainly because they don't take cognition from the hereafter. Harry does sometimes become them involved on purpose when they can help, such as going straight 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 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 because he is Dumbledore's favorite student, making every other business firm this by default. The only year where this is justified every bit not due to Dumbledore's favoritism is Third Year, where the mistake lies on Sirius for giving fifty points to whoever chosen Voldemort ... well, "Voldemort". Gryffindor, existence the Business firm of the Brave and all, was the 1 who had the biggest advantage — even Ron, one of the few Gryffindors who had issues saying the proper name, stopped flinching upon hearing it past Christmas. That didn't cease Harry from existence stubborn and fugitive saying the proper noun himself (unfortunately for him, he slipped up at the End of the Year Feast and was promptly awarded final-minute points).
  • Otherwise, Draco notes that Hufflepuff is lucky to get a win occasionally, Slytherin tends to be consistently superlative 2 but may drop if someone goes too far with a prank, Gryffindor is also up there with Slytherin and their fall to 3rd place hinges on if someone messes up spectacularly, while Ravenclaw is usually second or tertiary and sometimes wins through consistency. He as well notes that it'due south unfair for Hufflepuff every bit being responsible is expected of them and thus tends to reduce their chances of winning points.
• Anachronism Stew: A 1-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, but she thought it was just too good to pass up.
• Artifact of Attraction: Sirius starts to put on the Slytherin Horcrux ring despite Harry alarm him that it would kill him. He manages to stop himself when Harry says, "Sirius, if you put that on, then Snape will take to relieve 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 modify the name until 2008, but thought the opportunity was also proficient to turn down.
• Artistic License – Law: When Sirius's 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.e, people who are definitely legally guilty of the criminal offense, merely have been judged not to have done anything actually incorrect. Cases like Sirius's would be handled by a different procedure — given that he was imprisoned without a trial and therefore was probably never actually convicted of whatsoever crime, Fudge could have simply rescinded the order for his arrest.
• Attending Whore: This fourth dimension, the claims that Harry enjoys his fame and seeks out attending are absolutely true. Partially so he can brand money off of his celebrity status and put that money to good use, and partially because, well ... it's fun.
• Badass Teacher: Sirius takes over as the History of Magic instructor. The badass part comes with the package.
• Bad Liar: When Ron wonders where Ginny got the extra money she was spending on schoolhouse 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 exist 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 be, because he'southward lived this day before, while other times, he merely knows them well enough to guess.
• Beyond the Impossible: Draco notes the ridiculously loftier signal totals during Harry'southward 3rd Year, 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 50 points after he defended himself to losing the House Cup.
• Bowwow in Sheep'due south Habiliment: Harry is much more of a Deject Cuckoolander this time round, causing the full general population to view him as somewhere betwixt batshit insane and just full of information technology, but he's — commonly — a dainty 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 third.

• Blatant Lies: Used by Harry when a Sarcastic Confession just won't cutting it, or when he feels like it.
  • Invoked in i instance:

    Molly: This is much better gossip than last year'south 'Albus Dumbledore was madly in beloved with Gellert Grindelwald.' Honestly, yous'd think Rita Skeeter would larn to stop making up such sensational stories. Obviously Dumbledore was struck speechless by the breathy lies and thus couldn't be bothered to deny information technology.

  • "How do y'all know that?" "My psychic scar told me."
  • Also, this commutation is Blatant Lies for the Hogwarts personnel present equally well as Harry and Sirius:

    Snape: Is there a reason you felt the demand to become running off on a suicidal rescue mission without informing a responsible developed, kickoff?
    Harry: I did become a responsible adult. Professor Lockhart is a Hogwarts Professor and surely Professor Dumbledore wouldn't have hired him if he didn't accept consummate organized 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 ...
• Breather Episode: Nada important happens in Harry's new third year, but the author didn't desire to skip over it entirely. It mostly covers the elective classes.
• Broken Pedestal: Although Harry nonetheless obviously respects Dumbledore and tries to maintain something of their former relationship, it's also clear that he's enlightened of just how fallible Dumbledore is and how many mistakes the old man 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 humour fic, Government minister-Harry is less "feed people to lions considering he's bored" and more than "ban Monday because it'southward too depressing and let people pay to not register as Animagi".
• Cannon Fodder: How the Sorting Hat describes the Gryffindors.
• Casual Danger Dialog: Harry uses this (along with a great deal of sarcasm) every fourth dimension he and Voldemort have a showdown.

  Voldemort: You take been taught how to duel, Harry Potter?
  Harry: I've been taught to drib my wand and summon snakes. Our dueling guild was kind of substandard.

• Cassandra Truth: See Blatant Lies. Though, in this case, it's unknown whether Rita managed to piece this together through other sources or if she was just making things up later somehow learning about Dumbledore and Grindelwald'south friendship and accidentally hit the mark full on.
• Chickification: Inverted, simply not to the extent of Xenafication. Fleur does considerably better 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 burn down on her) were run a risk events not likely to be repeated.
• Complaining Virtually Rescues They Don't Like: Ginny was quite put out past the lack of heroics involved in Harry's defeat of the basilisk.
• Consulting Mister Puppet: How people react to Harry talking well-nigh his scar. Made more explicit when a frustrated Hermione asks if she should say "sad" for doubting Harry's scar's "predictions", and Harry inclines his caput equally though pretending to consult with the scar before answering that the scar says an apology would be dainty.
• Continuity Nod: Occasionally, mention will be fabricated of by events.
  • Harry gets Hermione a copy of Hogwarts: A History for Christmas in showtime year. In second yr he mentions this when he asks her why she wants to borrow a copy from the library.
  • Harry gets Hermione a fourth dimension-turner for Christmas in 2nd yr. He brings it up when the grouping beginning discussing what classes they'll be taking at the start of third year.
  • In third year Divination grade 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's seeing). When Harry and Fred become selected, Neville reminds Hermione of this.
• Conveniently Timed Set on from Behind: In the final battle, Sirius hits Voldemort from backside.
• Crazy-Prepared: When Pettigrew is caught, Luna pulls out an Animagus-proof jar that her begetter had her carry effectually in case she ever ran across an illegal Animagus she wanted to capture.
• The Cuckoolander Was Right:
  • Luna is the merely person to figure out Harry and Sirius had traveled dorsum in time. Information technology seemed obvious to her.
  • Harry hires a team of trackers who successfully notice a Crumple-Horned Snorkack, proving that Luna was right almost them all forth.
  • Harry comes off similar this to others, as most things he says are batshit insane, just slowly people realize that the more than over-the-tiptop Harry's predictions are, the more authentic he gets.
• Cute Clumsy Girl: Harry gets Tonks an anti-clumsiness ring to help with her Auror grooming, but figures she'll only wear it for piece of work, suspecting that she likes to be klutzy.
• Cut His Middle Out with a Spoon: When Harry and Lockhart accomplish an agreement of sorts, Harry adds that if Lockhart tries to steal one of his accomplishments, Harry will beat out him to death with a paper napkin.

  Lockhart: Can y'all beat someone to death with a paper 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", but we all know what that means.

• Deathbringer the Ambrosial: Averted, much to Harry'south 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 than standard "Flopsy".
• Death by Accommodation: Mrs. Norris ends up killed by the basilisk during 2d year.
• 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 it has a ball doing it.
• A Dog Ate My Homework: One of the papers Lupin tries to grade was chewed up by the textbook Hagrid assigned.
• Do Not Call Me "Paul": Only three people are allowed to call Tonks by her birth name Nymphadora. Ii 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 as well, though the significance of it escapes him at beginning.
• Double Standard: Neville points out to Hermione that attributing their obsession with Quidditch to their gender could be considered sexist.
• Dragged into Elevate: 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 cut of the profits and is okay with signing them.
• Emo Teen: Harry accuses Diary!Riddle of being one. So does Sirius, for that matter.
• Everybody Knew Already: About dragons existence the first chore in the Pentawizard Playoffs. Bagman is non pleased that "the champions (and George) all spectacularly failed to react":

  Bagman [Annoyed]: Oh come on,you lot could at to the lowest degree pretend to be surprised!
  Harry [Obliging]: Gosh, this has got to exist the most unexpected event I've always encountered! Dragons? I don't recall I've fifty-fifty seen a dragon!
  Cedric: That'south a piddling over-the-top, don't you think?
  Harry: I'k reacting for six people hither; have it or leave information technology.

• Everyone Can See It: Ron acts shocked at the idea of asking Hermione to the Yule Ball. Harry and Neville indicate out how obvious his trounce on her is.
• Exact Words: Dobby jinxes the Bludger to go after Harry in second year despite Harry having gotten Draco to make Dobby promise not to salvage Harry'south life.

  Harry: Await... Didn't Draco order y'all non to try to save my life or to endeavor and bulldoze me from the castle?
  Dobby: (looking downright mischievous) Dobby wasn't trying to save the Corking Harry Potter's life nor was he trying to send him away from Hogwarts. Dobby was trying to suspension Harry Potter's arm.

• Fantastic Racism:
  • At one point, information technology's shown that even the Weasleys aren't completely immune to the pureblood mentality when Ron mentions they never talk about their second 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'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 dead or alive.
• Fiction 500: Harry exploits his fame and cognition of the hereafter to open up upwards several business ventures over the grade of the fic, and as a upshot he's able to buy basically anything he wants.
• Foreshadowing: A subtle clue to who Barty Crouch Jr. is impersonating this fourth dimension around happens when Percy offers Crouch Sr. a drink at the quidditch cup. Mr Crouch declines because he has brought his own drink before taking a sip from his flask.
• Fun with Acronyms: Hermione's house-elf rights organization becomes SHOE: Ssuperlative Hurting Our Elves.
• Gender Bender: When a certain trickster gets into the History of Magic post, he warns that this might be i of the random "amusing" results of falling comatose in course.
• Genius Ditz: Lockhart is still incompetent equally a teacher, but Harry admits he'due south a genius when it comes to annihilation dealing with the media.
• Skilful Thing You Can Heal: Or at least, Skilful Thing You Can Get Healed.

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

• Grammer Nazi: Harry trademarked SPEW for his Grammer Nazi organization 'End People Abusing Words.' He chose to spell 'Abusing' with an East to exist ironic (and make it fit the acronym).
• Handwave: How Harry goes dorsum in time is barely explained and goes against canon, only the setup barely matters.
• Hard Truth Aesop: In-universe. Sirius tells his History of Magic class the story of Voldemort'due south parents and asks them what the moral is; Lavander suggests, "Don't assume the guy you're feeding dear potions is in love with you and stop."
• Hard Work Hardly Works: Draco points out that Hufflepuff never comes out ahead because working difficult is such an ingrained, defining trait of theirs. "What are they going to do? Do exactly what they're supposed to practice More than?"
• Harmful to Minors: Neville kills Quirrell in the Chamber of Philosopher's Stone and is understandably shaken by it. Albus and Harry endeavor their best to condolement him.
• Harsher in Hindsight: An in-universe example. Mentally being an adult lends Harry a different perspective on many incidents, such as now being horrified at Neville's Hilariously Abusive Babyhood. invoked
• Have You Told Anyone Else?: Defied when Harry thinks Lockhart might be planning to steal his Invisibility Cloak. He makes a betoken of telling Lockhart that at to the lowest degree ii dozen other students (whose names he is not saying) tin can ostend that it'due south his. Lockhart gives upwards and doesn't accept the thought any further.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: Also in-universe, Harry finally gets that Lockhart was joking when he implied he was more than famous than Harry. invoked
• Humiliating Wager: Charlie and Cedric are allowed to use Tonks's Embarrassing First Proper name considering they won one of these. She has vowed non to brand these bets anymore — much to Harry's dismay, as he would likely win easily with his unfair reward.
• Hypocrite: Harry (affectionately) thinks this when Sirius insists Snape should really let become of his resentment. Because Sirius, himself, is quite mature in that regard.
• If You lot Die, I Call Your Stuff: Ginny to Harry upon facing the 3rd year Gryffindor vs. Slytherin quidditch match:

  "...[I]f y'all dice, tin I accept your broom?"

• If You Ever Hurt Her: Averted.

  Remus [Mazed]: Aren't ... you going to warn me about breaking [Tonks'] heart?...
  Sirius: Why, are you planning on breaking her heart?
  Remus: Well, no, but—
  Sirius: And then she tin handle herself. She is well on her manner to becoming an Auror, after all; and I'yard sure she could desexualize you far better than I always could.

• Insane Troll Logic: Harry does this a lot in social club to explain how he knows certain facts that he shouldn't know withal or when he'due south messing with people.
• Insistent Terminology: Harry keeps calling their grouping "The Trio Plus Neville" because "The Quartet" sounds likewise much like they should be 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 example:

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

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

  Harry: The truth. It is a cute and terrible thing, and should therefore be treated with keen circumspection.
  Dumbledore: That is near unhelpful and I doubtable deliberately ambiguous.
  Harry: Well, if it is it's probably because I got that from a reticent and secretive to a error old man.

• It Tickled Me: Much of what Harry does is to avoid the crap that'south going to happen, merely most of it he does for the hell of information technology. The main reason he doesn't tell everybody his actual age is that everyone would so expect him to human action similar information technology.
• Wiggle with a Heart of Gold:
  • Harry comes off equally this, especially to the other characters who can't hear his thoughts. He may spend the story being an attention-seeking Troll, only he does information technology while besides doing everything he can to save or meliorate the lives of nearly everyone.
  • Draco is this in the new timeline, since he and Harry manage to become friends. Prolonged exposure to the residue of the gang ways his prejudices aren't almost as strong, and by the stop, 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 frequently cheerfully nifty jokes, running headfirst into danger, and more often than not enjoying every second of his being.
• Kill It with Burn down: 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 about fame a second time (this time as an adult) to realize that Lockhart was joking. (Of course, he's yet a self-centered, fame-hungry git, but he'due south not nearly as bad equally 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 book ...
• Loophole Corruption:
  • In Harry's fourth year, he was supposed to piece of work with antidotes and "turned in a bezoar over again".

    Harry: Information technology's kind of expensive, but the look on his face and the fact that he tin't technically fail me because the consignment was to notice a way to save someone from the diverse poisons makes it all worth information technology.

  • Fred Weasley gets entered into the Pentawizard Playoffs and George wants to enter likewise. Solution: Accept him change his proper name to George "Fred" Weasley and both tin can participate!
  • Dobby turns out to exist unexpectedly good at this during the 2d year. Despite Harry having Draco society Dobby to "not try to save Harry Potter" and "not effort to keep Harry Potter away from Hogwarts", Dobby can still endeavour specific things he's not prohibited from (such equally enchanting a Bludger to attack 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'southward backstory and asks his grade what the moral is, Lavander says, "Don't assume the guy y'all're feeding love potions [to] is in beloved with you lot and stop?" Seamus is disturbed by this.
• The Masquerade: At the Yule Ball, Luna namechecks the wizarding world'southward policy of hiding from the muggles.
• Mauve Shirt: Some readers thought Cedric Diggory was existence set up for this, again. "When I was rereading GoF I noticed how ridiculously likable [Cedric] was. Seriously, it's similar JKR did that just so everyone would be sad when he died…"[1] He'southward promoted to a supporting character. And doesn't die.
• Mental Time Travel: The manner Harry and Sirius end up going back.
• Mentors: Lockhart mentors Harry in dealing with beingness a celebrity. They later try to requite 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 there, Nott notes that his father learned the hard way that Muggles weren't equally harmless as he thought subsequently beingness shot on a trip to Las Vegas, and wants his son to learn as much about Muggles as possible.
  • In that location is also why some students begin to use pens and notebook paper instead of quills and parchment.
• My Friends... and Zoidberg: At the beginning, Harry insists on referring to his group of friends "The Trio Plus Neville" because "Quartet" sounded as well much similar a grouping for musicians for his liking.
• Noodle Implements: Narcissa Malfoy doesn't similar to exist around Sirius later the Marauders pranked her while she was on a date using "a frog, a canteen of pink hair dye, and a trampoline."
• Noodle Incident: Harry'due south kickoff summer with Sirius is mostly bailiwick to this; we know that he and Sirius helped Luna and her dad track down a "Blibbering Humdinger" in Zaire (with lilliputian luck), that he was forced to speak French for half-dozen weeks (which he maintains was the worst matter that happened to him in recent retentivity), and that he, Fred, and George locked Percy in a pyramid for iii hours.
• No Periods, Catamenia: Averted twice. Moaning Myrtle was killed during her "time of the month", which she offers as an caption of why she'south emotionally volatile all the time. In third year Lavander receives bad news from home that her pet rabbit has died on the date seemingly foretold by Professor Trelawney, and that, worse, her period has also just begun (a revelation which causes the male person Gryffindors to make jerky excuses to exit).
• Not Even Bothering with an Alibi: Harry doesn't really carp to hide that he knows things he really, really shouldn't. HE'due south merely as probable to merits that his scar told him as he is to tell the true source, and he often namedrops futurity/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 worried about how he was entered in the tournament and not why:

  Sirius: If it were any other pupil potentially in danger, they would probably be highly concerned, but you go after trolls because you're bored.
  Harry: That was only the 1 time!

• Simply in Information technology for the Money: Well, Harry's not merely interested in money, just he does deliberately project this persona, to the bespeak where he manages to convince everyone that he's 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 Man: Neville, who'southward role of the master grouping this fourth dimension forth with the trio, is often the voice of sense and reason when Ron and/or Hermione are existence 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 information technology comes to tormenting Snape.

  Sirius: It's going to take every ounce of my considerable self-control, but I desire to wait until he's so paranoid he can't sleep before I start in on him.

• Peggy Sue: Harry and Sirius go sent dorsum in time and make up one's mind to fix things and goof effectually 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 Love: Harry tells Sirius how he survived Voldemort'south second Killing Curse through the power of honey. Sirius responds that Harry should come upward with a more badass explanation than that.
• Power Trio: Double Subverted. Though Harry, Ron, and Hermione get friends like before, Neville is added to the ranks right from the commencement, making them a Power Quartet. Notwithstanding, Ron, Hermione, and Neville end up 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 mitt, Harry ended up forming a unit with Luna as his closest accomplice.
• Precision F-Strike: When Cedric hears the first job of the playoffs volition be to steal an egg from a nesting dragon mother, he takes a deep jiff and only says, "Shit."
• Psychic Powers: Harry'southward principal excuse for knowing what he does is that his scar is psychic. Annotation that he isn't psychic — just his scar. Professor Trelawney calls him a Seer by proxy.
• Refuge in Audacity: The main style Harry gets away with everything that he does? Do it with total conviction and zero shame. And brand sure that whatever "information technology" is, it's equally over-the-height and ridiculous as humanly possible. Most people are so stunned (or so exasperated) that they just ... allow him.
• Replacement Goldfish: After Mrs. Norris is killed past the basilisk (the only prey in that incident), Harry has Mrs. Figg ship Filch a kitten, to Sirius'south horror. The new cat is seen working alongside Filch similar Mrs. Norris did and he seems to similar her.
• The Rival: Draco for Harry, but in a mode that is far more friendly than in canon. Neither likes the other's friends and they sometimes don't speak to each other, but generally they are on rather practiced terms. It may exist all-time described as a cross between this and Vitriolic All-time Buds.
• Rule of Three: In the middle of dinner in the Great Hall, Harry makes a show of inviting Luna to be 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 ask someone to the Yule Ball. When no one did, the adulation became thunderous and girls swarmed in on the merely three with dates to printing 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'southward "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's Animagus course is a snake.
• 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.
• Set Correct What In one case Was Incorrect: Downplayed. Harry spends some time defeating Voldemort earlier with a far lower body count, but admits that the hereafter 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 Helpmate and read The Picture of Dorian Grayness.
  • Moody mentions The Dark Side, unintentionally referencing Star Wars to Harry's entertainment.
  • Harry tries to convince Cedric that the Great Pumpkin is real.
  • Harry and Sirius quote lines from Pinky and the Brain.
  • At one point, Draco smiles, and Harry muses:
  • At one point, Snape lampshades this trope.

    Snape: POTTER! Enough 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 expressionless.
• 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 only needs to utilise a different spell. Despite knowing this, Voldemort never actually does that.
• The Stations of the Canon: Harry occasionally uses these to earn money past betting on highly improbable events. The nearly obvious of these is during the third year Quidditch lucifer between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff when dementors bear witness up out of nowhere to crash the friction match, despite not being stationed at the school. Cedric catches the Snitch, at which betoken Harry gets a large payout from students that he'd bet (through a proxy, of course) about the consequence 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'southward 2nd twelvemonth:

    Harry: [Dobby's] evidently gotten it into his head that Hogwarts is a walking decease trap and therefore I'm better off with my Muggle relatives and in particular my Muggle uncle who could snap at any time and effort and strangle me. Therefore, he sealed the portal to the platform and Ron and I got bored and so we decided not to expect for everyone to fix the mess and just wing here.
    Draco: That has got to be the stupidest affair I've ever heard.

  • And after...

    George: Too, the Slytherin team plain couldn't find anybody to spy as they showed up in person. And total Quidditch gear.
    Harry: Why in the globe are they wearing their Quidditch robes to practise in? That has got to be the stupidest affair I've seen all day.
    Fred: All twenty-four hours isn't very long, Harry. It can't be more than than 10.

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

    Draco: Are yous certain? Because I seem to recall you albeit you were avoiding me former in Nov.
    Harry: Really, Draco, you exercise say the strangest things. Now why would I go and practise a giddy affair like that?
    Draco: Avoid me?
    Harry: Well, really, I meant 'acknowledge to fugitive you', but let'south go with that. Why would I avoid yous, Draco?

  • At the Quidditch World Cup:

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

  • Played directly with Charlie Weasley hinting about the Triwizard Tournament:

    Charlie: I might be seeing yous all sooner than you recollect.
    Fred: Why?
    Harry: Are you lot going to be in Great britain for Christmas?
    Charlie: ... Permit's get with that.

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

  "Harry, you've got 'I will be besieged past the stupidity of the general population' iv times this month," Ron pointed out.
  "Really?" Harry said mildly. "Only four times? This must be a expert calendar month, so."

• Talking Is a Costless Activity: After beingness transported to the graveyard, Cedric, Fred, & Harry discuss what to practise (in place of 'run similar hell') before Harry stands up to face Voldemort's minion.
• Trickster Archetype: The first thing Harry does when meeting the Weasley twins (again) 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. Then there's, well, everything else he does ...
• Troperiffic: Tropes are invoked, discussed and parodied all the time. Several tropes are fifty-fifty mentioned by proper noun — Blatant Lies, Cannon Forage, The Power of Love, Unexplained Recovery (past its one-time proper name, "I Got Meliorate"), UST and Unresolved Sexual Tension (spelled both means, in fact)...
• Uncle Penny Bags: Harry both makes and spends coin far more than extravagantly this fourth dimension around.
• Unresolved Sexual Tension: Harry points out that Draco and Ron's rivalry looks suspiciously like "UST" (Hermione finds it hilarious, whereas the acronym goes right over Ron'southward head). He afterwards thinks Hermione and Ron's relationship clearly falls under this likewise.
• Vitriolic Best Buds: Draco and Harry. Meet "The Rival" above.
• A Sorcerer Did Information technology: A couple times, when someone asks how Harry knows something, he says it'due south "Magic" and refuses to elaborate.
• Earth of Snark: Unsurprisingly, given the source material. Harry, of grade, gets to do information technology the almost, only about of the characters, fifty-fifty groundwork ones, get a few snarky lines. A special mention should probably go to Neville, given how a few changes in his first scenes make a huge difference betwixt his canon cocky and what he is like in the fanfic.
• Worst. Whatever. Always!: 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 find this comforting.
• Worth It:
  • Harry decides the look on Snape'due south face when Harry turns in a bezoar as an antitoxin 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 striking by yet another Cruciatus Curse.
