Line 68:

** Similarly, Mina is either bi or just has no problems having sex with a boy in a girl's body.

** Dumbledore {{spoiler|(at least while he's continuously high on the potions in his lemon drops)}} has no problems with sexually assaulting female students using polyjuice and obliviation, while at the same time finding ''Snape'' (of all people) attractive.

* [[Big Creepy-Crawlies]]: When caught in the line for Harry and Usagi's wedding, Mary ~~riddle~~ enlarges a line of ants and sets them on Ranma.

* [[The Big Damn Kiss]]:

** Hermione plants one on Harry the first time she sees him after his return from China and Japan.

Line 91:

Line 92:

* [[Chick Magnet]]: Harry finds he has this effect, especially on the Inner Senshi.

* [[Chunky Updraft]]: Wizards see one for the first time in the build-up to a Sailor Teleport from Hogwarts.

* [[Clingy Jealous Girl]]: Ginny Weasley. She doesn't care about Harry's feelings for Usagi, their betrothal, or Destiny -- Harry is exclusively ''hers'', dammit, and he'd better admit it if he knows what's good for him. And if he won't, she'll damned well ''make'' him, and whether it's done with emotional blackmail or the Weasley family love potion recipe doesn't matter much to her. If Harry's not attracted to her, it's ''his'' fault, and he'd better fix that ''now''. Her ~~barely~~-hidden hostility toward Usagi and the Senshi (and, really, any other girl closer to Harry than she is) is why she's not part of Harry's [[Supporting Harem]]. Averted, finally, when Ginny gives up on Harry and uses the family love potion to redirect her feelings to Neville.

Averted, finally, when Ginny gives up on Harry and uses the family love potion to redirect her feelings to Neville.

* [[Cold Iron]]: Once she's defeated, Mary Riddle is brought before the new King and Queen in manacles that are explicitly described as "cold iron".

* [[Covered with Scars]]: Both Ranma and Harry have enough scars documenting their [[Hilariously Abusive Childhood]]s that as a way to get to know each other they spend a day comparing scars and recounting the stories behind them.

Line 115:

Line 116:

* [[Disney Princess]]: When Harry compares her to "Cinderella for the Wizarding World", Usagi briefly imagines herself as a Disney Princess, and wonders if [[Disney Theme Parks|Tokyo Disneyland]] would throw a parade for her or give the Senshi free passes. {{spoiler|They would and do.}}

* [[Disney Theme Parks]]: As part of the festivities surrounding their wedding, Harry and Usagi, along with the Senshi and nearly a hundred British wizards and witches, all spend a day at Tokyo Disneyland without any secrecy.

* [[Distinguishing Mark]]: Played with. The first time ghost!Usagi possesses Harry (and turns into Sailor Moon) she burns Voldemort's horcrux out of him completely. Harry's ~~distinguishing~~ scar immediately begins healing and fading, while Voldemort gets a crescent moon permanently burned into his forehead.

Harry's distinctive scar immediately begins healing and fading, while Voldemort gets a crescent moon permanently burned into his forehead.

* [[Doomy Dooms of Doom]]: Once Harry and the Greengrass family settle on a scheme to make it look like their assumption of his guardianship is in fact an evil plan, Astoria Greengrass (whose suggestion for the actual scheme was chosen) mock-gloats, "And that's how I'll lure the Golden Boy of Gryffindor to his doooooom!" Yes, with six "o"s.

* [[Double Entendre]]:

Line 122:

Line 123:

** Usagi, once she's resurrected, gets her share in.

** Even the narrative voice indulges; there's a passage that makes Hermione looking at a chest of Potter family heirlooms sound like she's putting the moves on Harry.

* [[Dressing as the Enemy]]/[[False-Flag Operation]]: At some point in the far future Harry, Mary, and a teenaged Cuteness turn out to time-traveling ~~back~~ to play the roles of Wiseman, Esmeraude and Black Lady to keep the conflict with the Black Moon Clan from being as bloody as it could have been -- by making the entire conflict ''fake''.

* [[Dressing as the Enemy]]/[[False-Flag Operation]]: At some point in the far future Harry, Mary, and a teenaged Cuteness turn out to be time-traveling to the past to play the roles of Wiseman, Esmeraude and Black Lady to keep the conflict with the Black Moon Clan from being as bloody as it could have been -- by making the entire conflict ''fake''.

* [[Early Installment Weirdness]]: Started out as a [[Crack Fic]], and while it never lost some of its cracky nature it eventually became a more serious story.

* [[Earn Your Happy Ending]]: Harry and Usagi go through all manner of hell just to get to their wedding... and even then it isn't entirely happily-ever-after.

Line 129:

Line 130:

* [[Exact Eavesdropping]]: With a little technological assistance, [[Intrepid Reporter]] Nabiki Tendo and her sound tech record an entire revealing conversation between Sailor Venus and "Teen Witch" -- from 180 meters away and four stories up.

* [[Facial Markings]]: Ghost!Usagi and anyone she possesses displays Sailor Moon's trademark crescent moon on their foreheads.

** When ghost!Usagi takes over Harry's body for the first time at Jusenkyo, a side effect of the process burns a charred crescent moon into ''Voldemort's'' forehead.

** When ghost!Usagi takes over Harry's body for the first time at Jusenkyo, a side effect of the process permanently burns a charred crescent moon into ''Voldemort's'' forehead.

* [[Fainting]]:

** Harry has an Emotional Faint upon seeing ghost!Usagi for the first time -- but the narration, perhaps tongue-in-cheek, compares it to a Corset Faint instead.

Line 159:

Line 160:

* [[Heel Face Turn]]:

** Any Death Eater hit by one of Sailor Moon's healing/purifying attacks. Voldemort attempts to break several out of Azkaban, and they ''fight back''.

** Ultimately, Mary Riddle, after she, too is hit with a Moon Gorgeous Meditation.

** Ultimately Mary Riddle after she, too, is hit with a Moon Gorgeous Meditation.

* [[Hell-Bent for Leather]]: The domme who finds Kodachi when she's transported to the S&M club.

* [[Hero Insurance]]: Touched on. It turns out that most Tokyo based Supers donate the profits from their [[The Merch|toy deals]] to charity to keep people from coming after them about property damage.

Line 165:

Line 166:

** It's also quietly assumed that older witches and wizards might be using stronger substances. Dumbledore in particular goes through most of ''The Girl Who Loved'' dosing himself with a potion blend that among other things turns out to have so much hemlock in it that it could kill Hagrid in minutes; it's only because the blend ''also'' has phoenix tears in it that Dumbledore's survived taking the stuff for fifty years or more.

{{quote|Harry suddenly felt the urge to hold his hand to his forehead. "Suddenly the Wizarding World makes sense to me. All of the lawmakers are high."}}

* [[Hoist by His Own Petard]]: After getting humiliated in battle with the Senshi, Snape is dosed with the torture potions he brewed for Harry, when Dumbledore mistakes them for healing potions (which ~~is how~~ Snape had disguised them).

* [[Hoist by His Own Petard]]: After getting humiliated in battle with the Senshi, Snape is accidentally dosed with the torture potions he brewed for Harry, when Dumbledore mistakes them for the healing potions which Snape had disguised them as.

* [[Hold Up Your Score]]: Cuteness and Lulu do this to rank how good the girls look when dressed up to meet with the Emperor and Empress of Japan.

* [[Holy Hand Grenade]]: The "white magic nuke" Harry unleashes at the end of the second attack in Diagon Alley. Unlike most Holy Hand Grenades, it repairs and heals far more than it destroys, including curing Dumbledore of his [[Functional Addict]] status and sending Severus Snape into a coma from which he emerges weeks later as "Snape Lite, now with 80% less bastard".

* [[I Broke a Nail]]: When Ranma's attempt to destroy the "death stone" succeeds in a huge explosion, Sailor Venus lays into him with

{{quote|"Broke the rock? Broke the rock? You insensitive prick! You broke Scotland! And I broke a nail. When we get back home, it's time for a manicure... and you're paying."}}

⚫

* [[I Have No Son|We Have No Daughter]]: Hermione's estranged relationship with her parents has almost reached this point.

* [[I Love the Dead]]: Invoked by Haruka to tease Rei after a night of passion with Usagi-in-Harry's-body.

* [[In Medias Res]]: Sort of. All of the backstory leading to a Pool of Drowned Usagi at Jusenkyo has happened as of the start of the story.

* [[In Medias Res]]: Sort of. All of the backstory leading to a Pool of Drowned Usagi at Jusenkyo has already happened as of the start of the story.

* [[In the Name of the Moon]]: Of course the Senshi. However Harry never feels the urge to speechify until he (in girl form) comes face-to-face with Draco Malfoy on the Hogwarts Express at the end of ''The Girl Who Loved'', and then it just bubbles up out of him involuntarily:

{{quote|"The Hogwarts Express is a place for children to come and dream of a brighter future. There is no room for your corrupted spirit and your message of darkness and hate. You have insulted me. You have insulted my friends. You are a threat to the future of those I love. In the name of Love and Justice, I will punish you!"}}

Line 235:

* [[Reassigned to Antarctica]]: After she pisses off a lot of the Ministry with a blatant grab for power after Minister Scrimgeour's death, and then runs unsuccessfully for the office, Dolores Umbridge is made the "ambassador" per treaty to [[Monty Python and the Holy Grail|the Knights Who Say "Ni"]] -- a position which, the narration notes, is filled any time the Ministry wants to flat-out dispose of someone who is a problem or embarrassment.

* [[Refusing Paradise]]: Queen Serenity has been holding off on heading into the afterlife for over twelve thousand years, although she plans on doing so as soon as she watches Harry get Usagi pregnant a second time.

* [[Revenge]]: Not an active motivation for her, but Hermione ''definitely'' enjoys everything that rubs her international status and reputation in parents' faces.

* [[Revenge]]: Not an active motivation for her, but Hermione ''definitely'' enjoys everything that rubs her growing international status and reputation in her parents' faces.

* [[Revive Kills Zombie]]: Effectively what happens when Harry deliberately attempts to purify Mary Riddle with a Sailor Moon-style white magic attack: she ends up coughing up bits of old bone, shreds of Peter Pettigrew's flesh, and some of Harry's blood -- the last fragments of Voldemort's magically-created body. (She subsequently spends the next few centuries avoiding hot water for fear that it will turn her into ''nothing''.)

* [[Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory]]:

Line 255:

* [[Simplified Spellcasting]]: Probably the best trope to fit Harry's first attempt to heal someone with the power of the Kaleidomoon Scope, where (instructed by ghost!Usagi) he simply visualizes what he hopes for a wounded Amazon and focuses on the special mystical phrase "Get better, dammit!"

* [[Sneeze Cut]]: When Hermione admits to Harry that she asked the Disguise Pen to make her a "[[Tomb Raider|tomb raider]]", there is a cut to Lara Croft sneezing at a ''very'' inconvenient moment.

* [[Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace]]: Discussed by Harry on hearing that Voldemort is in Tokyo on the day of the wedding; Harry assumes ~~Voldemoret~~ will ''not'' be holding his peace.

* [[Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace]]: Discussed by Harry on hearing that Voldemort is in Tokyo on the day of the wedding; Harry assumes Voldemort will ''not'' be holding his peace.

* [[Spit-Take]]:

** Harry does one when he learns he has the option to take the resurrected Myrtle as his concubine.

** Nabiki sprays a wall with coffee when Setsuna surprises her in her apartment.

** Usagi sprays hot chocolate into Harry's face when he asks her if he should take his [[Teacher's Pet|"teacher's pet"]] Annabelle White as his date to the Hogwarts Valentine's Day Ball.

* [[Split Personality]]: Voldemort after he visits Jusenkyo. Initially his female self isn't terribly distinct (save for those ~~pyschological~~ changes imposed by the curse), but the longer Mary stays in control of their shared body, the more different she grows, and the more she thinks of herself as a separate individual from Voldemort.

Initially his female self isn't terribly distinct (save for those psychological changes imposed by the curse), but the longer Mary stays in control of their shared body, the more different she grows, and the more she thinks of herself as a separate individual from Voldemort.

* [[Squee]]: Seen/heard multiple times. Occasionally the narrative voice uses it as a kind of punctuation.

** Hogwarts schoolgirls around Harry.

Line 282:

{{quote|"They say men tend to marry women who remind them of their Mums. With any luck he'll follow the pattern."}}

:* Hermione strikes back at her Dursley-like parents by sending photos of herself with various important personages (like the Emperor and Empress of Japan) to her sister to share. An even better one is provided accidentally when Princess Diana visits the Grangers to find out more about the girl who's dating her son William.

* [[Teacher-Student Romance]]: The hopes of many Hogwarts students after Harry and Hermione are appointed assistant professors. Harry gets a flood of female students asking for "help"; a giggling Usagi has to point out to him what they're really after. He notes that Hermione has her share of male students vying for her attention.

He then notes that Hermione has her share of male students vying for her attention.

* [[Teacher's Pet]]: First-year Slytherin Annabelle White is described as a "teacher's pet with a side of crush" for Harry.

* [[Their First Time]]:

Line 305:

* [[Vigilante Man|Vigilante Girl]]: Harry finds he enjoys patrolling Tokyo and doing good as "Teen Witch".

* [[Wacky Marriage Proposal]]: The proposal by itself is actually quite serious and formal, but the aftermath is amusing enough to end up on the [[The Girl Who Loved/Funny|Funny subpage]].

⚫

* [[I Have No Son|We Have No Daughter]]: Hermione's estranged relationship with her parents has almost reached this point.

* [[Wedding Day]]: The climax and [[Grand Finale]] of the story: Harry and Usagi's public wedding at the Tokyo Dome.

* [[Wedding Smashers]]: Mary Riddle attempts to crash Harry and Usagi's wedding at the Tokyo Dome. She doesn't succeed at getting inside, but does instigate a pitched battle in the line of magicals (and [[Magical Girl]]s) waiting to get in.

* [[Weddings in Japan]]: Harry and Usagi actually have two weddings: a private Shinto ceremony for friends and family at the Hikawa Shrine, officiated by Rei's grandfather and attended by the Japanese Imperial family and the British Royal family, followed by a positively ''immense'' public Western-style wedding at the Tokyo Dome, officiated by [[Tenchi Muyo!|Katsuhito Masaki]]. Mary Riddle, unaware of either the private ceremony or the official paperwork filed in advance, believes she can prevent them from being married by disrupting the ''second'' wedding.

* [[Well, This Is Not That Trope]]: In the final lines of the story before the epilogues, in the description of the future forged by Harry and Usagi together, there is this:
