And as the Tournament draws to a conclusion, it appears that the unknown actors behind the mysterious threat are growing impatient -- or desperate. They abandon subtlety for more direct action, and Hermione must face a far more complex and dangerous plot than she had anticipated at the start of the assignment. And to her chagrin, along the way she finds herself forced into the kind of over-the-top action she had sworn to herself that as a Bond she would studiously avoid.

* [[How We Got Here]]: The story opens on the first day of the tournament, then immediately flashes back for several chapters to how the various point-of-view characters got roped into their parts in the tournament.

* [[Imposter Forgot One Detail‎]]: How Hermione quickly determines that a message she receives (allegedly from L) during the Third Task is a fake -- the sender doesn't know that Ron is ''there at the Tournament'' undercover helping her, and claims he's been injured on an op. The sender also doesn't know certain (important) details of L's communications arrangements.
* [[Is That What They're Calling It Now?]]: Hermione says this about a reference to "international relations".

* [[It's All About Me]]: Part of what sinks the actual villains' plans -- they automatically assume that the threat they pose to Terawatt's friends will be of a higher priority than ''anything'' else Terawatt faces and she will drop everything to address it. They don't anticipate that Terawatt could possibly be dealing with something ''more'' important and would prioritize it over her friends. (Even so, it's a close thing a few times.)

* [[Running Gag]]: Svetlana's "untrustworthiness" throughout the Tournament is frequently expessed by others as an expectation she would "throw someone under the bus" for any advantage she could get. It [[Brick Joke|pays off]] when she [[Literal Metaphore|actually throws a bad guy under a moving bus]] during the ambush during the Third Task.

* [[Stuff Blowing Up]]: Seems to be the curse of being 007/"Bond". Even though she ''tries'' to minimize or eliminate collateral damage, Hermione still ends up blowing up and burning down multiple structures and vehicles, to the amusement of her support team, who tease her about it.
