Line 46:
* [[Never Mess with Granny]]: Augusta Dorsett Longbottom (Neville's ill-tempered grandmother) and Minerva McGonagall....
* [[Oireland]]: This fic's version of Seamus Finnegan reeks of this trope. JK Rowling has said that naming the character "Seamus Finnegan" was pushing it a bit, but Thanfiction takes the Irish stereotype [[Up to Eleven]]:
{{quote|
* [[POV Sequel|POV Sequels]]: To ''Deathly Hallows''.
* [[Self Fanservice]]: In the books, both Neville and Hannah are a bit pudgy. In DAYD, Hannah's hotness was concealed by the school robes, which made her - but none of the other girls - look fat, and Neville replaces all of his fat with muscle, helped by him being [[Torture Porn|starved for weeks as part of a punishment]].
Line 72:
** It's strongly implied that Neville's summoning of the entire D.A. and allies from the wizarding world for the final battle is less a function of his gee-whiz enthusiasm (as presented in the official canon) and more a tactic to keep the D.A. from imploding out of disappointment.
** Also, a different pedestal breaks in Seamus and Neville's horrified reactions when they find out that Dumbledore's "plan" was a lot more of [[Gambit Roulette]] than [[Batman Gambit]]:
{{quote|
'There has to be a reason, Seamus.' He fought to keep his voice calm, reasonable, but he could hear the tremble of fury and newly-awakened pain at the edges. 'I'm sure he had a reason.' }}
* [[The Casanova]]: Jack Sloper.
** And apparently, [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass|Colin Creevey]] of all people.
{{quote|
* [[Child Soldiers]]: Used in a realistic and very depressing way. Many underaged Hogwarts students fight in the final battle and are killed in gory ways.
* [[Cold-Blooded Torture]]: The Cruciatus Curse is used as routine punishment, {{spoiler|to the point where the students get ''used to it''}} and that doesn't even begin to compare with what {{spoiler|Doctor Belsen does to Mike Corner (his best friend tries to euthanize him half-way through the torture session)}}.
Line 102:
* [[La Résistance]]: Dumbledore's Army.
* [[The Ladette]]: It was hinted at in HP canon, and this fic makes it explicit -- Ginny Weasley:
{{quote|
* [[Les Collaborateurs]]: Sometimes, but not always, Slytherin House. Most of them hate the Carrows.
* [[Loves the Sound of Screaming]]: The Carrows.
Line 162:
* [[Reading Your Rights]]: Aurors are saddled with a wonderfully [[Wall of Text|verbose]] version of the [[You Do Not Have to Say Anything|British police caution]] in order to plug in the extra legal loopholes that being magical might present. Legal buffs might care to notice that in the Wizarding version, the right to remain silent (which is front and center in the Caution and Miranda) is the ''second-to-last'' thing mentioned. Also please note that unlike the caution, this one is to be recited upon arrest (or when the suspect wakes up from all the stunning spells), not interrogation.
** For those of you who want to see it:
{{quote|
* [[Secret Diary]]: ''A Peccatis'' starts with Neville and Harry receiving, and having to figure out the meaning of, isolated pages from Dumbledore's diary.
* [[Yank the Dog's Chain]]: ''A Peccatis''. {{spoiler|Someone is going [[Ax Crazy]] on the Order of the Phoenix, and Neville, Harry AND Ron all lose people who are extremely important to them.}} It's especially blatant when {{spoiler|Neville's parents are killed off immediately after a breakthrough in communicating with his mother.}} And {{spoiler|Hermione is accused of being the serial killer.}}
