Line 11:
Naturally, as a part of [[The Teraverse]] it takes place in a [[Mega Crossover]] world, but its own crossover elements are relatively modest -- ''[[Harry Potter]]'' (of course) and ''[[James Bond]]'' make up the core of the story. And wherever ''Potter'' and ''Bond'' tropes and concepts conflict, ''Bond'' wins.
It is complete, and can be found [http://www.tthfanfic.org/story.php?no=30822 here]. Its final page promises a sequel, ''[[Hermione Granger and the Swiss Tournament]]'',

Line 70:
* [[Biker Babe]]: Hermione takes motorcycle training, including "evasive" cycling courses, in year six. When she looks at herself in the mirror wearing the mandated protective leathers, she's a little stunned by how much it looks like she means serious business.
* [[Boarding School]]: Harworts, and presumably at least some of its counterparts in other countries.
* [[Boarding School of Horrors]]: What the 11-year-old Hermione initially fears Harworts might be.
Line 211 ⟶ 213:
* [[Hero of Another Story]]: Harry, at least during the early years. Given how this story is told from Hermione's point of view, there are points when Harry and Ron have adventures together that she only learns about after the fact. As the three of them become more integrated into a single working team, this happens less and less.
* [[Historical In-Joke]]: Of the decidedly not funny variety. Dumont Appledore is to some degree ''persona non grata'' in the British Intelligence Community for being right (and vocal) about the [[w:Cambridge Five|Cambridge Five]] being Soviet spies long before anyone wanted to believe that was the case. ([[w:Kim Philby|Kim Philby]] retaliated by spreading rumors that Appledore was homosexual.) He was assigned to the post of Harworts' headmaster to "exile" him from the community without actually expelling him entirely, basically because he is an inconvenient reminder of the ''decades'' of compromised intelligence operations that could have been avoided had someone listened to him. (And some older members of the community -- like Neville's Uncle Algie -- still believe that
** When Hermione meets the Duchess of Wellington in sixth year, she hears a story about how the Duchess was an intelligence officer in WW2, and uncovered (and foiled) a plot to bomb her own wedding in 1945. [[w:Diana Wellesley, Duchess of Wellington|This is all true.]]
Line 224 ⟶ 226:
* [[The Illegible]]: Invoked by Hermione on the doctors at the community hospital when reading Mr. Wellesley's chart.
* [[Important Haircut]]: Hermione's
* [[Instant Sedation]]: The knockout dart used on Umbridge in seventh year.
Line 241 ⟶ 243:
* [[Le Parkour]]: Taught at Harworts and the other spy academies.
* [[Legacy Hero]]: The various "00" agents in British Intelligence. Each "number" has a surname that the current holder uses instead of their own, such as "Bond" for 007. (This is a practice that another Teraverse story reveals dates back to the early 19th Century and the first such agents.) The late James Potter was 007 at the time he died, making him "James Bond". (
* [[Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics]]: Played for laughs by Hermione in her own private musings:
Line 320 ⟶ 322:
* [[Peeling Potatoes]]: In fifth year, Umbridge "assigns" Hermione the task of "going undercover" among the Harworts servant staff as an alleged "reward" for speeding through the (useless) tradecraft textbook and testing out of Umbridge's course. Hermione is of course aware that it's supposed to be a punishment but turns it into a real learning experience (which it is, in more ways than one) -- and an opportunity to spy on Umbridge and the Death Striker supporters in the school.
* [[Pixie cut]]: Hermione gets one in chapter 140, to make it easier to wear a series of wigs for her various false IDs.
* [[Playful Hacker]]: At 11 Hermione is already an accomplished hacker, able to break into police and other government systems. She only gets better.
Line 358 ⟶ 362:
* [[Self-Destruct Mechanism]]: The Death Striker lair at the bottom of an abandoned iron mine in the Forest of Dean at the end of the third task of the Inter-School Tournament had one, and Harry just pulled levers and pushed buttons until he activated it. It was very possibly nuclear.
* [[Senseless Phagia]]: Drake Malenfant is totally unaware that every time he sends food back to the Harworts kitchens "to be prepared properly", what comes back out [[
* [[Serial Killer]]: Gil Hart, who has apparently made a career of killing other agents and taking credit for their accomplishments, or so Hermione deduces from his gloating.
Line 389 ⟶ 393:
* [[Spit-Take]]: Hermione does one (with a mouthful of gelato) when Harry is selected by a computer for the Inter-School Tournament in year four.
* [[Spitting in the Customer's Food]]: The Harworts kitchen staff ''routinely'' spit into the food that Drake Malenfant sends back to be "properly prepared".
* [[Spot of Tea]]: Umbridge laces tea with [[w:Flunitrazepam|Rohypnol]] to interrogate Hermione (who, forewarned, had already taken an antidote).
