{{quote|''No, I am not human. But if you believe that only humans have a soul, your view of Creation is limited. Would you deny the angry willow a soul? Would you deny the ginger cat a soul? The rats you want me to catch? Would you deny that a werewolf has a soul?''
|'''Finrod''', ''To Face the Wolf''}}
'''''[https://web.archive.org/web/20120411075146/http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2899679/1/To_Face_the_Wolf To Face the Wolf]''''' by [https://web.archive.org/web/20120411075143/http://www.fanfiction.net/u/431495/Maglors_finch "Maglor's_finch"] is a beautiful turn on a crazy idea worthy of a [[Crack Fic]]: namely, what would happen if you crossed over ''[[The Silmarillion]]'' and ''[[Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (novel)|Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban]]''. However, the author has done an excellent work and the immersion is incredible. Expect lots of crowning moments.
{{tropelist}}
* [[Arbitrary Skepticism]] - Finrod finds Lupin's disbelief in Trelawney's divination to be this. Then he meets her...
* [[Awful Truth]] (refer to [[Show Within a Show|Book Within A Book]] )
* [[A Day in
* [[Badass]] - Finrod did kill a werewolf with his teeth, even though he is slightly ashamed of this.
* [[Show Within a Show|Book Within
* [[British Accents]] - Snape's original North Yorkshire accent comes through when he's stressed despite his attempts to suppress it. At one point acts as a plot point keeping the other characters in the dark.
* [[Broken Pedestal]] - The other Gryffindor's responses to [[What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous?|Hermione reading a fiction book in class]]
Line 17 ⟶ 16:
* [[Continuity Nod]] quite a few, from both sources.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]] - Sirius
* [[Dramatic Irony]] - the reader knows the [[Awful Truth]] about the [[Show Within a Show|Book Within A Book
* [[Entertainingly Wrong]] - They assume Trelawney's prediction refers to Beren and Luthien.
* [[Fan Service]] - Finrod in a towel.
* [[Fix Fic]] - {{spoiler|Hermione's}} actions which cause the situation are something of a meta-twist on an attempt to do this and a [[Self-Insert Fic]]
* [[Fish Out of Temporal Water]] - Coming from a ostensibly [[Medieval Stasis]] Finrod is fascinated by more modern technology such as plumbing (more so than he is by magic infact).
* [[Foreshadowing]] - Finrod noticing Remus looking at Helluin, or Sirius the Dogstar, and seeing it more clearly than Remus
** Mixed with a [[Continuity Nod]] - [[Harry Potter and
* [[Guilt
* [[Guilt Complex]] - Lupin arguably has one of these.
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]] - a throwaway sentence has Madam Pomfrey treating "an attractive fifth year" who has been hexed to have a bunny tail. Lupin wonders if a certain [[Shout-Out|muggle]] [[Playboy|
* [[Inspector Javert]] - Snape's pre-existing role as this in regards to Sirius Black (and Lupin who he regards as a danger) is extended to Finrod
* [[I Just Want to Have Friends]] - Lupin's loneliness caused by death of his best friends so long ago & his condition explain why he bonds to Finrod so quickly. At one point he compares Finrod calling him friend to chocolate after an encounter with a Dementor.
* [[Janitor Impersonation Infiltration]] - Not exactly this trope but Finrod impersonates Snape to get around the school without attracting students' notice. Although his disguise is physically perfect he wears a [[Glamour Failure|blue robe
* [[Magic Music]] even {{spoiler|Snape}} is moved by it.
* [[Magic A Is Magic A]] - Subverted. Unlike many this author remembers that
* [[Mind Rape]] - Doesn't appear in story but Finrod is of the opinion that "assailing the mind was as bad as raping the body"
* [[Mistaken Age]] - Finrod guesses that Hermione is [[Younger Than They Look|sixteen]]. [[We Are
* [[Our Elves Are Better]] - Finrod
** [[Christmas Elves|House Elves]] - The [[One Steve Limit|name confusion ]] between Finrod's kind and Hogwarts House elves causes some difficulty.
* [[Perverse Sexual Lust]] - While not sexual (given the character's age) Hermione's reaction to {{spoiler|Finrod}} when reading can definitely be taken as a crush.
* [[Pretty Boy]] - Unsurprisingly being an elf, Finrod. Snape says he'd make the young [[Tall, Dark and Handsome|Sirius]] [[Mr. Fanservice|Black ]], [[White-Haired Pretty Boy|Lucius ]] [[Sharp-Dressed Man|Malfoy ]] and [[Tall, Dark and Handsome|Tom ]] [[Hot
* [[Realistic Diction Is Unrealistic]] - Finrod after having mastered English. Especially when trying to convince people about something. Taken [[Up to Eleven]] after [[The Reveal]] when even the other character's [[Lampshade Hanging|notice]]. The former is somewhat [[Justified Trope|justified]] in that Finrod has had centuries of experience as leader. There is some [[Justified Trope|justification]] for the latter part in [[Canon]] in that Elves are supposedly very good at mimicking different kinds of speech in foreign languages but tend naturally to an [[Antiquated Linguistics|archaic]] sounding type and with the [[Awful Truth|truth out]] Finrod might revert to this
* [[Sadistic Choice]] 'Then it seems that I will have to choose between an innocent I don't know and one I do know'
** Lupins all choices come down to this.
* [[Screw Destiny]] - Averted. {{spoiler|Finrod}} accepts his both prior to and during the story
* [[Shown Their Work]] - Of Tolkien's Work. The difference in Elvish philosophy to Human is portrayed perfectly showing knowledge of [[All There in the Manual|more than ]] [[The History of Middle Earth
** Of Human philosophy too, [[Small Reference Pools]] are averted with Snape mentioning not just Plato but also Plotinus
* [[Shout-Out]] - [[Shout
** Which was apparently originally a lot [[Lighter and Softer]] with Hamlet himself inducing [[Draco in Leather Pants]]
* [[Stable Time Loop]]
Line 50 ⟶ 49:
* [[Time Dissonance]] - As expected with Immortal Elves and Humans
* [[This Is My Human]] - Crookshanks' opinion on Hermione
* [[What Do You Mean Its Not Horrific]] - Snape's response to {{spoiler|''The Silmarillion''}} backed up by the parts he brings up or reads out load. Given he also thinks the author's a Dark Wizard he might be falling into the [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic|symbolic]] and [[What Do You Mean It's Not Political?|political]] versions too.
* [[Worthy Opponent]] - Snape admits Hermione is one of the few usually sensible students
* [[You Can't Fight Fate]]
