History Fanfic / OhGodNotAgain

* NoodleIncident: Harry's first summer with Sirius is mostly subject to this; we know that he and Sirius helped Luna and her dad track down a "Blibbering Humbdinger" in Zaire (with little luck), that he was forced to speak French for six weeks (which he maintains was the worst thing that happened to him in recent memory), and that he, Fred, and George locked Percy in a pyramid for three hours.

'''Dobby:''' Dobby wasn't trying to save the Great Harry Potter's life nor was he trying to send him away from Hogwarts. Dobby was trying to break Harry Potter's arm.
::: Harry notes that Dobby looks downright mischievous as he says this.

* CassandraTruth: See BlatantLies. Though, in this case, it's unknown whether Rita mamaged to piece this together through other sources or [[AccidentalTruth if she was just making things up after somehow learning about Dumbldore and Grindelwald's friendship and accidentally hit the mark full on]].

* LovePotion: Discussed. When [[spoiler: Sirius]] explains Voldemort's backstory and asks his class what the moral is, Lavender says, “Don't assume the guy you're ''[sic]'' feeding love potions is in love with you and stop?" Seamus is disturbed by this.

* HarmfulToMinors: Neville [[spoiler:kills Quirrel in the Chamber of Philosopher's Stone]] and is understandably shaken by it. Harry and Dumbledore try their best to comfort him.

''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4536005/1/ Oh God Not Again!]]'' is a ''Literature/HarryPotter'' fanfiction by [[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/674180/ Sarah1281]]. An adult Harry [[PeggySue gets sent back in time]] and makes it his goal in life to [[SetRightWhatOnceWasWrong save as many lives from Voldemort as he can]]. Okay, [[BlatantLies that's a lie, actually]]. Not to say he doesn't do that, but he spends most of his time [[ItAmusedMe enjoying himself]] and [[CrazyAwesome wreaking as much havoc as possible]]. Also an AffectionateParody, so people and events are looked at and discussed from a different perspective when deemed appropriate. Or [[RuleOfFunny funny]].

* FamilyUnfriendlyAesop: In-universe. Sirius tells his History of Magic class the story of Voldemort's parents and asks them what the moral is; Lavender suggests, "Don't assume the guy you're feeding love potions is in love with you and stop."

* SparedByTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:Everyone, [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg except Mrs. Norris]].]]

* InsistentTerminology: Harry keeps calling their group "The Trio Plus Neville" because "The Quartet" sounds too much like they should be musicians.

* NoodleIncident:
** Sirius starts telling Harry about a prank the Marauders pulled on Narcissa Malfoy in school, but the scene cuts away.
** Harry's first summer with Sirius is mostly subject to this; we know that he and Sirius helped Luna and her dad track down a "Blibbering Humbdinger" in Zaire (with little luck), that he was forced to speak French for six weeks (which he maintains was the worst thing that happened to him in recent memory), and that he, Fred, and George locked Percy in a pyramid for three hours.

* AlwaysSecondBest: As Harry miserably notes, Gryffindor will never lose the House Cup as long as he is at Hogwarts, because he is Dumbledore's favorite student, making every other house this by default. The only year where this is justified as ''not'' due to Dumbledore's favoritism is Third Year, where the fault lies on [[spoiler:Sirius]] for giving fifty points to whoever called Voldemort...well, "Voldemort". Gryffindor, being the House of the Brave and all, was the one who had the biggest advantage -- even Ron, one of the few Gryffindors who had issues saying the name, stopped flinching upon hearing it by Christmas. That didn't stop Harry from being stubborn and avoiding saying the name himself (unfortunately for him, he slipped up at the End of the Year Feast and was promptly awarded last minute points).

* ArtifactOfAttraction: [[spoiler:Sirius]] starts to put on the [[ArtifactOfDoom Slytherin Horcrux ring]] despite Harry warning him that it would kill him. He manages to stop himself when Harry says, "[[spoiler:Sirius, if you put that on then Snape will have to save your life. SNAPE.]]"

* AttentionWhore: This time, the claims that Harry enjoys his fame and seeks out attention are ''absolutely true''. Partially so he can make money off of his celebrity status and put that money to good use, and partially because, well... [[ItAmusedMe it's fun]].

* BigNo: Fred and George when they see the quidditch field is now [[TheMaze a hedge]] and Harry at one of the times Hermione wins fifty points after he dedicated himself to losing the House Cup.

* BornLucky: Harry gives this impression to those around him, since everything seems to work out for him. Of course, he has an unfair advantage they don't know about...

* CrazyPrepared: When [[spoiler:Pettigrew]] is caught, Luna pulls out an animagus-proof jar that her father had her carry around in case she ever ran across an illegal animagus she wanted to capture.

** Harry hires a team of trackers who successfully find a crumple-horned snorcack, proving that Luna was right about them all along.
** Harry comes off like this to others, as most things he says are bat-shit insane, but slowly people realize that the more over-the-top Harry's predictions are, the more accurate he gets.

-->'''Lockhart:''' CAN you beat someone to death with a paper napkin?\\

* DeathByAdaptation: Mrs. Norris ends up killed by the Basilisk during second year.

* DoubleStandard: Neville points out to Hermione that attributing their obsession with quidditch to their gender could be considered sexist.
* DraggedIntoDrag: ''Sort'' of. Draco gets a photo of Harry in a dress ([[ItMakesSenseInContext technically a Boggart Neville made less frightening]]) and sells them to students as collectibles. Harry negotiates for a cut of the profits and is okay with signing them.
* EmoTeen: Harry accuses Diary!Riddle of being one. So does Sirius for that matter.

* EveryoneCanSeeIt: Ron acts shocked at the idea of [[spoiler:asking Hermione to the dance]]. Harry and Neville point out how obvious [[spoiler:his crush on her]] is.
* ExactWords: Dobby jinxes the bludger to go after Harry in second year despite Harry having gotten Draco to make Dobby promise not to save Harry's life.

** At one point, it's shown that even the Weasleys aren't completely immune to the Pureblood mentality when Ron mentions they never talk about their second cousin who's a Squib (and an accountant). Harry notes that it's to Ron's credit that he doesn't grasp ''why'' the cousin is an outcast and that he's invoking this trope unintentionally.
** Parodied when Luna asks Snape if he is a Living-ist, someone who prejudges based on whether a person is dead or alive.

-->'''Sphinx:''' Right. Do not worry, though, as I am not permitted to kill you. That said, healers can work all sorts of miracles these days.

-->'''Remus''' [''Dazed'']: Aren't...you going to warn me about breaking [Tonks'] heart?...\\

* KillItWithFire: Most of the horcruxes are destroyed using Fiendfyre.

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: When presented with a headline reading "Harry Potter and the Pentawizard Playoffs", Harry muses that it sounds like [[CharacterNameAndTheNounPhrase the title of a book]]...

* LovePotion: Discussed. When [[spoiler: Sirius]] explains Voldemort's backstory and asks his class what the moral is, Lavender says, “Don't assume the guy your ''[sic]'' feeding love potions is in love with you and stop?" Seamus is disturbed by this.

* MauveShirt: Some readers thought Cedric Diggory was being set up for this, again. "When I was rereading [[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheGobletOfFire GoF]] I noticed how ridiculously likeable [Cedric] was. Seriously, it's like JKR did that just so everyone would be sad when he died…"[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4536005/45/Oh_God_Not_Again]] [[spoiler: He's promoted to a supporting character. And doesn't die.]]

* {{Mentors}}: Lockhart mentors Harry in dealing with being a celebrity. They later give advice to Krum.

** An example appears to explain why Theodore Nott, a Slytherin, is in Muggle Studies. When asked why he was there, Nott notes that his father learned the hard way that muggles weren't as harmless as he thought after being shot on a trip to Las Vegas, and wants his son to learn as much about muggles as possible.

* PsychicPowers: Harry's main excuse for knowing what he does is that his scar is psychic. Note that ''he'' is not psychic -- just his scar. Professor Trelawney calls him a Seer by proxy.
* RefugeInAudacity: The main way Harry gets away with everything that he does? Do it with total confidence and zero shame. And make sure that whatever "it" is, it's as over-the-top and ridiculous as humanly possible. Most people are so stunned (or so exasperated) that they just... let him.

** Harry's "Oh, that reminds me, Cedric? Graveyards." and Cedric reflexively responding "Run Like Hell."

* ScaledUp: [[spoiler:Harry]]'s animagus form is a snake.

** Harry [[spoiler: and Sirius]] quote lines from ''WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain''.

* SparedByTheAdaptation: [[spoiler: Everyone, [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg except Mrs. Norris]].]]

* TheStationsOfTheCanon: Harry occasionally uses these to earn money by betting on highly improbable events. The most obvious of these is during third year quidditch match between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff, when dementors show up out of nowhere to crash the match, despite not being stationed at the school. Cedric catches the snitch, at which point Harry gets a large payout from students that he'd bet (through a proxy, of course) about the outcome of the match with.

** At the quidditch World Cup:
-->'''[[spoiler: Sirius:]]''' Top box. It was part of my reparation. Of course, the rest of it went to buying Harry a Firebolt but...\\
'''Harry:''' You don't mind because [[spoiler: I'm your godson]] and you love me?\\
'''[[spoiler: Sirius:]]''' ...Let's go with that, sure.

'''Charlie:''' ...Let's go with that.
* SurroundedByIdiots: Harry simply considers most of the human population to be mindless sheep.

* TricksterArchetype: The first thing Harry does when meeting the Weasley twins (again) is trick them into starting a rumor, stunning them and Ron. He later encourages others to try to lose the House Cup, calling it a "Suck-up" Cup. Then there's, well, everything else he does...

* NeverLiveItDown: In-universe. After Harry becomes a participant in the Triwizard Tournament, he complains that the adults are more worried about how he was entered in the tournament and not why:
-->'''Sirius''': If it were any other student potentially in danger, they would probably be highly concerned, but you go after trolls because you're bored.\\
'''Harry''': That was only the one time!

* ArtisticLicenseLaw: Used for RuleOfFunny. When doing Lockhart's quiz, Harry answers "Famous (formerly Hot Magenta)" for Lockhart's favorite color. The author notes that Crayola didn't change the name until 2008, but thought the opportunity was too good to pass up.

* NoodleIncident: Sirius starts telling Harry about a prank the Marauders pulled on Narcissa Malfoy in school, but the scene cuts away.

--->'''Harry:''' The truth. It is a beautiful and terrible thing, and should therefore be treated with great caution.\\

-->'''Percy:''' Dies?\\
-->'''Harry:''' Well, the official story is "missing", but we all know what that means.

* GenderBender: When a certain trickster gets into the Defense post, he warns that this [[CouldSayItBut might be]] one of the random "amusing" results of falling asleep in class.

* DramaticReading: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgskwzTIGsw&index=1&list=PLYNcOqVhTmvb5cDPfr123rqj6HS5hK-6b The Youtube user Lord Starfish has read this fanfic on his show]].

* SarcasticConfession: Harry occasionally tells the truth about how he knows certain things, stating specifically that no one would believe the truth. Now and then, he just uses BlatantLies.

* HarsherInHindsight[=/=]HilariousInHindsight: An in-universe example. Mentally being an adult lends Harry a different perspective on many incidents, such as now being horrified at Neville's HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood or finally getting that Lockhart was joking when he implied he was more famous than Harry. [[invoked]]

* AngstWhatAngst: The author points out that she intentionally didn't write any scenes at the beginning with Harry angsting about losing his wife and unborn child to the time loop, but that any reader who feels the need for it may imagine that it happened off-screen.
** Averted for a brief moment when Harry looks into the Mirror of Erised and sees Ginny with his child from his original timeline.

* RuleSixtyThree: Played with: Changing your sex might be one of the consequences of falling asleep during [[spoiler:Sirius]]'s classes.
