Line 129:
* [[Day of the Jackboot]]: In one of the more prominent examples of how things [[From Bad to Worse|get worse faster than canon]], Voldemort takes over the Ministry midway through Hermione's sixth year -- and does it in a more sophisticated and subtle way than the canon version.
* [[De-Power]]:
* [[Death by Adaptation]]: Many characters who survived in the original books ({{spoiler|like Sybil Trelawney, Lee Jordan and Draco Malfoy}}) do not survive this story.
Line 166:
* [[Fandom-Specific Plot]]:
** The bog-standard "soulbond" plot gets averted and briefly discussed in the wake of {{spoiler|Harry and Ginny becoming [[Mindlink Mates]]}}.
** The classic "Harry earns the respect and backing of the goblins for something trivial" plot is averted, discussed ''and'' mocked in chapter 7 of ''Annals of Arithmancy'', when Hermione worries that the sword she made for the Goblin king may have accidentally made the Goblin Nation her "best friend",
* [[Fate Worse Than Death]]: Being a ghost. You're permanently stuck in the emotions and mindset you were in when you died, you can't change in any appreciable way, and your memories of anything other than a few years on either side of your death and the last few years of your existence [[Ghost Amnesia|eventually fade away]].
Line 177:
* [[Foreign Language Tirade]]: Despite being French, Fleur swears extensively in ''Serbian'' at one point -- a reference to the origins of ''vila'' in Eastern European folklore.
* [[Forging Scene]]: Utterly averted with Hermione's swordsmithing and other blade-crafting -- she does it all via runes, arithmancy and visualization. Given that the sharp parts of the blades are carbon, not metal, this makes sense -- but even the metallic parts, like the tungsten ballast, are built up atom-by-atom with her magic, rather than heated as a mass and shaped on an anvil.
* [[Four-Fingered Hands]]: The House Elves. Hermione is a frequent visitor to their quarters for the best part of a year before she notices this about them.
