The Draco Trilogy/YMMV


 * Crack Pairing
 * Crowning Moment of Funny - Upon seeing Harry naked, Draco says: "Well, would you look at that. Congratulations, Potter."
 * "I have been called many things in my life, Weasley, but never a vicious, cold-blooded piece of toast."
 * Draco in Leather Pants - Contrary to popular belief, Draco does not wear leather pants all throughout the story, he just poses in them during a famous scene in Draco Sinister.
 * Not so much poses in them as is forced to borrow a pair from Charlie Weasley. Draco had a badly-broken leg, and the mediwizards at the dragon camp with Charlie have to cut the old trousers away to get at the leg. Draco then borrows a pair of dragonhide trousers from Charlie (Charlie wears dragonhide leather, of course, to be as flame resistant as possible) and a trope is born.
 * Somewhat averted even as in a later chapter, Draco bemoans having ever donned the trousers to begin with and bitterly proclaims that he'll never wear such things again.
 * "Those f*** ing trousers," said Draco irritably. "I have a feeling that nobody is ever going to let me forget them, even though I only wore them once, even though it was against my will --"
 * Some trope history : Cassandra Claire put Draco in leather pants due to an ongoing half-serious suggestion by horny readers. This is not the only instance of Fan Service... the Harry/"Draco" kiss late in the series was to get the readers who constantly insisted Harry and Draco had Ho Yay in the trilogy, and/or begged Cassandra to give them some Harry/Draco slash to shut the fuck up already. Cassandra was very vocal about this, and came to openly resent her association with this trope, claiming it was mostly an inside joke between good friends, rather than a genuine plot device.
 * Fanon - The source of quite a lot of it in the Harry Potter fandom.
 * Hype Aversion
 * I Knew It! - Cassie may well be the queen of this. She correctly predicted the name of Malfoy Manor, the positions Ginny and Ron would play on the Quidditch team, Fleur dating Bill, and possibly even Dumbledore's homosexuality. And, perhaps most impressively, that wizards are given watches on their seventeenth birthday.
 * Internet Backdraft
 * Rooting for The Empire - Of a sort, since Draco is portrayed as an unlikable character in the actual Harry Potter books. However, since Voldemort and most of the other bad guys stay evil and Draco becomes sympathetic by having a Heel Face Turn, it's not quite a straight example.
 * Shipping - Harry/Hermione, Draco/Ginny, Ron/Blaise, Sirius/Narcissa.
 * Squick: Salazar Slytherin first confessed his love for Rowena Ravenclaw when he was fifteen and she was ten.
