The Chosen Six is a Harry Potter fanfic by Tribun. It's written in the author's usual style of deconstructing and lampshading plot points of the original, while at the same time creating a believable alternate universe.It can be found at Fanfiction.net here and at AO3 here.The story begins on the night that Harry's parents are killed. Sirius Black realizes that he has a responsibility towards Harry as Harry's godfather, and thus does not go after Peter Pettigrew. Besides the domino-effect of changes this causes, Pettigrew himself never becomes a rat living with the Weasleys, and instead knows he has to atone to Voldemort, or feel his wrath, thus setting out to find him. While these two events sound simple, they have far-reaching consequences, not even counting that something had to have changed many years earlier, considering, the non-magical government of the United Kingdom seems to be planning something.Harry over the following years grows up in a relatively normal childhood in a suburb of London, in the care of a couple that are an offshoot of the Evans family and with Sirius and Remus close by. However, in the middle of the ever-growing changes that happen in this universe compared to the one we know, a prophecy is made. The "Chosen Six" will rise one day, and take up the battle against Voldemort and defeat him once and for all.The author has also written Going Another Way and No Chance for Fate.

comment
Sure, Let's Go with That: After becoming the Head of the House of Black after Walburga's death, Sirius remarks that he doesn't really need a house-elf. Kreacher immediately assumes this means Sirius intends to free him, prompting Kreacher to throw away his pride and grovel in hopes of avoiding the dishonor. However, Sirius really just planned on giving Kreacher to Narcissa, a "proper" pure-blood whom Kreacher had actually wanted to go serve. Nevertheless, Sirius decides to pretend as if Kreacher's promise of loyalty convinced him to change his mind and let Kreacher continue serving the House of Black. This ultimately leads to Kreacher becoming genuinely loyal to Sirius, as well as Sirius growing much more appreciative of Kreacher.

Happy Marriage Charade
 The Chosen Six (Fanfic) / int_11b01fc7
comment
Subverted in the case of the Dursleys—Petunia and Vernon. While they appear happily married at first, their marriage starts going downhill when Dudley's latent magic is awakened. During Year Four, Vernon goes to visit his sister for Christmas while leaving Petunia at home. The final straw comes in the aftermath of the Dementor attack when Vernon assaults Petunia, resulting in his arrest, imprisonment, divorce, and becoming a neighborhood pariah.

No Such Thing as Bad Publicity
 The Chosen Six (Fanfic) / int_12b1f5f3
comment
No Such Thing as Bad Publicity: In-Universe examples. Averted for Rita Skeeter. Her reputation as a sensationalistic journalist as well as the numerous lawsuits she's been hit with (and lost) have severely limited her career prospects. Dumbledore explains that while lawsuits might stop regular newspapers that care about their good name from publishing libel, they're virtually useless against gossip rags that couldn't care less about their reputations. Said gossip rags just use the attention they get to increase circulation, which more than makes up for any fines they would have to pay. Draco, and Pansy seem to believe this. They all become jealous of Harry and his friends when the latter group is thrust into the spotlight once more after attempting to set a trap for Karkaroff, even though the bulk of the attention the Six are getting is from the media lambasting them for their idiocy. Played with regarding Fudge. As a Slave to PR, he often refuses to act on suspicious events to avoid creating a scandal that would draw the attention of the press, knowing it may hurt his reputation. Nevertheless, he's somehow convinced that any publicity is good when it comes to Harry Potter, including when the latter is being criticized for being a reckless teenager.

 The Chosen Six (Fanfic) / int_14ed6ab7
comment
Does This Remind You of Anything?: The werewolf/HIV analogy of the original series is made even more explicit when Lupin reveals his condition to a class and Hermione compares the initial reaction to the way people on her parents' street treated a man with a condition that is clearly intended to be HIV. Greyback's intentions towards Harry are (per Word of God) meant to evoke a child molester.

Tempting Fate
 The Chosen Six (Fanfic) / int_15b2cab3
comment
Tempting Fate: After learning that Sirius is the only remaining male Black of the main line and is thus set to inherit everything due to feodum talliatum, Walburga Black flies into a rage and swears to never let him get even a single Knut. Her anger immediately causes a fatal heart attack, which, combined with the recent death of her brother, spurs the executor of the Black estate to expedite making Sirius the Head of the House of Black. While shopping for robes at Madam Malkin's, Draco makes disparaging comments about Harry and Hermione, wrongly assuming that they're both Muggle-borns. He then rudely states that he's relieved he'll be sorted into Slytherin, since that House hasn't had any Muggle-borns for decades. When the sorting actually takes place, Dudley ends up being placed in Slytherin. Not only that, but more Muggle-borns are sorted into Slytherin in the following years. Ginny fears that Neville is invoking this trope when he suspects that something has already happened to Riddle's diary when they rush to Dudley's room to retrieve it. Luna says the trope name verbatim in response to Ginny praying for a peaceful third year and reasoning that Greyback won't come anywhere near the school.

Simple Solution Won't Work
 The Chosen Six (Fanfic) / int_16dda55f
comment
Simple Solution Won't Work: Professor McGonagall, Sirius, and Molly separately point out that if Dumbledore and Nicolas Flamel would just destroy the Philosopher's Stone, they wouldn't need to go to such great lengths to hide it to prevent Voldemort from using it to resurrect himself. Dumbledore agrees but informs them that Flamel is extremely reluctant about destroying the one thing that's been keeping him and his wife alive all these centuries. When the Basilisk attacks begin, numerous safety measures are instituted, including having teachers escort students to classes, preparing antidotes for Petrification, and constructing a guest building as temporary housing for students until the Basilisk is found and destroyed. Many wonder why the school wasn't just shut down until the situation was resolved and are told that while that would be the smart and right thing to do regarding the Basilisk, the politics of the situation complicates things. Hogwarts is the only major wizarding school in the UK, and it's impossible to homeschool all the students or send them all to private institutions. Moreover, closing down the school would reflect badly on Dumbledore and give Lucius Malfoy, who already couldn't care less about Muggle-borns being attacked, an opening to remove him as Headmaster and install a reactionary in his place. Likewise, Thomas and Veronica ask why they can't just pull Harry out of Hogwarts until the Basilisk has been dealt with. Sirius explains that doing so means they'd have to homeschool him and that the Ministry would thus learn everything about them and where they live, which would just put Harry in even more danger. He also points out that if Harry is no longer a Hogwarts student, they'll have less influence over the school board's decisions, which are currently being spearheaded by Lucius Malfoy. In Harry's fourth year, he suddenly finds himself the target of various murder attempts, courtesy of Karkaroff. Similar to the above situation, Thomas and Veronica realize that while pulling Harry out of Hogwarts would protect him from further attempts, they can't risk the Ministry learning anything about Harry and where he lives, especially with people like Umbridge gaining influence. Many people grow frustrated by Lockhart's incompetence and ask why Dumbledore doesn't just fire him. However, they generally understand when told that virtually nobody wants the Defense Against the Dark Arts post due to the jinx on the position and Quirrell dying on the job, and that leaving the position unfilled for the majority of the year risks the curse harming other teachers and forcing them to leave. Professor Flitwick warns the other teachers against trying to blast open the door to the Chamber of Secrets, as they are underground and an explosion could cause the ceiling to collapse onto everyone. Professor McGonagall also rules out Apparition, knowing that there will surely be safeguards that will result in unpleasant consequences for anyone attempting such an obvious method. When the Six's families and the Hogwarts staff find out about Rita Skeeter's smear campaign against the Six, Alice Longbottom suggests suing the tabloids printing Skeeter's articles. Sirius and Xenophilius explain that doing so won't end the defamation against the children, since unlike respectable newspapers, the tabloids in question don't care about their reputation at all. Instead, they'd just use the publicity from any lawsuit to increase circulation, which leads to them still turning a profit even after paying out the penalties, as libel fines are capped. Fleur complains about the cold weather shortly before the Second Task. Her friend asks why she doesn't just warm herself up with her magic, to which Fleur replies that it would just make the cold shock response worse once she jumps into the water.

Alcohol-Induced Idiocy: Two Slytherin students bought a pair of werewolf disguises to prank some first years. Then, while drunk out of their gourds, they decided to also sabotage the Gryffindor-Ravenclaw Quidditch match. End result: over thirty injured students, and the two Slytherins who thought up the idea are expelled.

The Bully
 The Chosen Six (Fanfic) / int_1b60dcba
comment
The Bully: Due to being set in a school setting - even before Hogwarts - there are a number of them. Dudley and his faithful gang of Piers, Dennis, Malcolm, and Gordon of course are canon examples and also appear here, and it's shown what "Harry Hunting" involves - and worse. Once Dudley wises up, the gang continues on without him, with Piers becoming the leader. Eventually, all four end up in juvenile hall, as well as Piers being expelled from Smeltings, and Gordon’s family disowning him. Hermione is bullied by several girls in primary school. Named is Eloise Greene, who spills ink over one of Hermione's books. Draco of course is a canon example, but here he gets help from Pansy Parkinson, who pretty much becomes Draco's equal partner when it comes to antagonizing the Gryffindors.

No Sympathy
 The Chosen Six (Fanfic) / int_1cf11f13
comment
No Sympathy: Completely justified in Lockhart's case after he's turned into a human vegetable by his own Memory Charm, especially since said charm was meant for four students who'd just learned the truth about the fraudulent claims in his books. Not only that, but everyone is either already aware or learns soon afterwards that he's a fraud who took credit for other people's work by wiping their memory. Also justified when Pansy and Draco get attacked by a Niffler during a Care of Magical Creatures class after ignoring instructions to remove all shiny objects they have on them. Hagrid scolds them for not following his instructions, the rest of the class laughs at them, and even Hermione feels that the entire incident couldn't have happened to nicer people. When the students strike back against the Inquisitorial Squad, the faculty finds it impossible to sympathize with them due to the Inquisitorial Squad's open bullying and cruelty. It gets to the point that when Draco and Pansy's nude pictures are exposed, McGonagall and the teachers simply agree to drop the matter rather than punishing the Six.

Closest Thing We Got: Dumbledore makes it clear that he was basically forced to hire Lockhart because the already-low reputation of Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher took a further knock after Quirrell's death, preventing them from even looking into their standard candidates for the role, meaning that Lockhart was Dumbledore's only choice unless he wanted to give the Ministry a chance to step in.

Nouveau Riche: The Parkinsons are viewed as this by the old conservative families, having come into wealth only two generations ago despite being pure-blood for many centuries (though they were once part of high society before going through severe social and financial decline after Perseus Parkinson was forced out of office for trying to ban marriages to Muggles). It doesn't help that the Parkinsons tend to try too hard to suck up to and imitate the old pure-blood families, often by ostentatiously flaunting their wealth. Lucius and Narcissa thus disapprove of Draco's friendship with Pansy.

Failed a Spot Check: Because the Ministry only monitors people magically entering the United Kingdom, Fenrir Greyback and his pack are able to sneak into the country by taking a fishing trawler from the French coast after killing the crew. Likewise, they're later able to break into Hogwarts by using the hidden passageway connecting the Shrieking Shack and the Whomping Willow, which nobody thought to block off. When Umbridge tries to arrest Remus for not informing the Ministry of his lycanthropy, Frank Longbottom informs her that Remus had registered his condition with the Ministry back in 1980, and that she can't arrest Remus simply because no one at the Ministry bothered to check his files.

Adaptational Job Change: Due to him being the Weasley who got attacked by Fenrir instead of Bill, Percy loses any opportunities to work for the Ministry post-graduation and is instead working at Hogwarts' administration.

Mythology Gag: Fred and George get in trouble for starting a rumor that Snape will referee the Gryffindor-Hufflepuff Quidditch match in Harry's first year, referencing how said event actually happened in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. When Moody makes a lesson on permanently disfiguring curses and how some people might rationalize their use, Hermione tells herself that she could have easily done that - a reference to the "SNEAK" pimple curse from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Dudley finds his old gang beating up Mark Evans and stops them, referencing how it was him that led the beating in canon, as mentioned by Harry at the beginning of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

Allohistorical Allusion
 The Chosen Six (Fanfic) / int_2a035a26
comment
Allohistorical Allusion: Many times during the story, Luna says things that have other people remark that she could have been a good Ravenclaw, which was her House in canon. She is also the one to destroy the Horcrux infecting Ravenclaw's Diadem. When Ginny realizes Malfoy intends to create trouble for Hagrid by staging a scandal in one of his classes involving a Kneazle, she muses that it would be more understandable if it were a Hippogriff, as that would actually create waves. In canon, Draco got attacked by Buckbeak the Hippogriff after deliberately ignoring Hagrid's instructions, which caused Hagrid no shortage of grief for the year. Hagrid is mentioned to later use Hippogriffs as the 4th year exam, but since Malfoy and Pansy left the course at the end of 3rd year, it comes and goes without an incident. When hearing about the werewolf "prank", Draco and Pansy think it was a brain-dead move they would have expected of Crabbe and Goyle. In canon, Draco took part in a similar ploy and disguised himself, Crabbe, Goyle, and Flint as Dementors. A Weasley son gets gravely injured by Greyback, and while he won't become a werewolf, he has cursed scars that affect him negatively. His girlfriend, however, does not care about it and makes it clear she will not abandon him. Instead of Bill, though, it's Percy. The Dursleys go on a diet because one of their members has been warned about their being overweight. However, here, instead of Dudley (who can mostly avoid it due to his boxing training), it's Vernon. The Triwizard Tournament has several of these: Upon hearing that the Tournament was originally discontinued due to a cockatrice, Ginny wonders whether there'll be dragons in the upcoming tournament, with Ron responding that Charlie wouldn't like it if that happens to be the case. In canon, dragons were in fact part of the First Task, and Charlie helped transport them to Hogwarts. Related to the above, when making his way through the obstacle course in the First Task, Krum muses that at least they aren't being forced to do something insane, like fight a dragon. Canonically, he was the only Champion to actually attempt to fight his dragon, with the rest focusing more on getting past their dragons without confronting them head-on. The goal of the First Task is for each Champion to reach a golden sphere that contains a clue about the next task, with Luna initially theorizing the spheres may be dragon eggs. The canonical First Task did require the Champions to retrieve a golden replica of a dragon egg, which also held a hint for the Second Task. The gauntlet in the First Task includes a logic game in which each Champion must use the clues given to them to correctly choose which of seven bottles will allow them to get past black flames blocking the path. This is almost identical to one of the tasks used to guard the Philosopher's Stone in canon (it's not known whether the same obstacle was used to protect the stone here). In both cases, Hermione managed to solve it almost immediately.

Inadequate Inheritor: The main reason why Sirius reluctantly takes over as the head of the Black family is because he sees the only genuine alternative, Draco through his mother Narcissa, as this since it would mean Lucius would have more power and he finds the idea abhorrent. It's noted that fear of being this is the reason there were no real applicants to try out for the new Gryffindor Seeker apart from Harry, as nobody wanted to try and measure up to Charlie Weasley's legacy.

Awesome, but Impractical: Diane makes it clear that she considers the Firebolt this, comparing purchasing it to the idea of buying a racecar for daily driving. Harry and his friends quickly agree with her and stop thinking about buying one. When Ludo Bagman suggests using dragons in the Triwizard Tournament, Barty, Sr. immediately points out how dangerous that would be for both the Champions and the audience, citing how a cockatrice getting loose and going on a rampage in the last Tournament led to the event being cancelled for centuries.

Misplaced Retribution
 The Chosen Six (Fanfic) / int_2e8875f0
comment
Misplaced Retribution: The Parkinsons and many bigoted students blame Snape and the school for giving Pansy a month of detention and an entry in her file for casting a spell that destroyed Hermione's braces by making her teeth grow out of control, as they feel Snape is untrustworthy and that the school is being hypocritical by punishing Pansy for simply doing what was expected of her in a Dueling Club. The fact that Pansy brought everything on herself by casting a spell that severely injured and could have even killed a fellow student, which goes far beyond anything that would be allowed in a school-sponsored Dueling Club, seems to be lost on them. Pansy's Petrification is a combination of this and Never My Fault, as she apparently wasn't the Basilisk's target and wouldn't have gotten Petrified if she'd just stayed with her class instead of purposely wandering off. She doesn't seem to blame Riddle, who controlled the Basilisk, or Lucius Malfoy, who was responsible for Riddle's diary being snuck into Hogwarts and thus allowing Riddle to open the Chamber again. Instead, Pansy lays the blame on Millicent, insisting that the attack happened because Millicent was trying to settle a personal grudge even while she was under Riddle's mind control. Millicent, of course, wasn't in control of her actions while possessed and barely even remembers what happened during that time. Draco for unexplained reasons blames Harry for Pansy's Petrification, even though Harry wasn't even involved in the attack, aside from being friends with the other victims. Draco knows that his father used underhanded methods to force the Board of Governors to remove Dumbledore as headmaster, which include orchestrating the opening of the Chamber of Secrets. This ultimately leads to Lucius being voted off the Board when his plan fails. Yet when Lucius's firing is brought up, Draco proclaims it was due to the Board engaging in foul play. When two Dementors are sent to Little Whinging by Umbridge in an attempt to kill Sirius or get him in trouble, their aura causes Aunt Marge to suffer a stroke. Vernon angrily blames Dudley for it and attempts to attack him.

Revenge Myopia: Draco declares that the Board of Governors will pay for firing his father, an act that he insists is foul play. However, Lucius was fired because he tried to use underhanded methods to strong-arm the Board into getting rid of Dumbledore, something that Draco is aware of. Greyback vows to make Harry pay for hurting him and foiling his plans, never mind that Harry was defending himself and Ginny from being captured. Dumbledore bans Rita Skeeter from Hogwarts due to her habit of writing defamatory articles and harassing people for interviews. The Six likewise call her out for being a bad journalist. Her response? Get back at them by writing scandalous, sensationalist articles involving them.

Even Evil Has Standards
 The Chosen Six (Fanfic) / int_319e4a2f
comment
Even Evil Has Standards: Grindelwald did some research into possible means of immortality, but even at his worst, he rejected the idea of using Horcruxes, finding it horrifying and being genuinely disturbed when his magic sensed Voldemort creating them. He's also repulsed by Dementors, their ability to suck out people's souls, as well as the British Ministry's use of them as Azkaban guards (Dementors are noticeably absent from Nurmengard, the prison Grindelwald built to hold his own enemies). Lucius Malfoy of all people is the first to call out Fudge's plan to have Dementors guard Hogwarts from werewolves, telling him that it would just put the students in even more danger. In addition, even Lucius is disgusted by how sycophantic Umbridge is towards Fudge. Even if Umbridge is profiting from it, she herself finds the blind trust that Fudge is according to her utterly bizarre. When Barty Crouch takes part in the break-in of Azkaban, he explicitly asks Voldemort for time to attend to the grave of his mother and bury her somewhere more appropriate. Voldemort himself would refuse to accept Umbridge in his ranks due to pragmatism; after all, given Umbridge is The Unfettered who'd do absolutely anything for more power and control, she'd inevitably turn into The Starscream.

Dudley's Character Development kicks in a lot earlier in canon when he and Harry are attacked by a Dementor at the age of nine and saved by Aurors with Dumbledore's assistance. As in canon, the Dementor shook Dudley up and made him begin to realize just how terrible he'd been. An additional side-effect is that his latent magic is awakened, and he ends up being accepted into Hogwarts.

Born-Again Immortality: The ritual that gave Voldemort his initial "body" at the start of Goblet is presented as requiring him and his followers to sacrifice a pregnant woman so that Voldemort's spirit can possess and twist the baby to be his new host.

Noodle Incident
 The Chosen Six (Fanfic) / int_3c0a4666
comment
Noodle Incident: The ghost invasion of New York in 1984 is mentioned by Dumbledore as the reason why the MACUSA was in hot water with the International Confederation of Wizards. The last time the Hogwarts Express was delayed was in 1944, when a German rocket attack damaged the tracks so that it took hours to repair them. At a past Quidditch World Cup game, one team brought mascots that made the whole pitch smell of a latrine. Dudley mentions being forced to attend a party at Grunnings with his parents where an old man thought it'd be funny to slap a woman's arse. The police and paramedics had to be called to deal with the aftermath.

Blessed with Suck: Trelawney laments how precognitive abilities come with the burden of potentially foreseeing something terrible and being powerless to prevent it. After their first meeting with a Veela, the group conclude that her allure is "a crappy power to have", since women/girls are hostile to her, and it's very difficult for someone with that attractive power to find a partner who's sincerely interested in the person behind the allure.

Skewed Priorities: Petunia Dursley and her cousin Thomas Evans encounter each other for the first time in several years when the latter is moving to a neighborhood near the former's home. Much to Thomas' frustration, the first thing Petunia does is ask why he dares to live so close to her, especially since their estrangement's been long enough that Petunia has a son who Thomas had no idea existed.

Took a Level in Kindness
 The Chosen Six (Fanfic) / int_3dcc914f
comment
Dumbledore, at one point, bothers to ask Moaning Myrtle about the circumstances of her death, giving him the means to exonerate Hagrid, get Hagrid's wand rights restored, and allow everyone to be better informed when the Chamber is opened a second time. It also results in Myrtle taking a level in kindness, leading to her attending Halloween feasts. As a result, Mrs. Norris doesn't get Petrified from seeing the Basilisk's reflection in the water on the floor, as Myrtle was entertaining students at the feast instead of flooding her bathroom, making Colin Creevey the Basilisk's first victim instead after the Chamber is opened again.

Secret Test of Character: When Amelia Bones visits Prime Minister John Major to update him into what's going on in magical Britain, the latter keeps the fact that he already knows everything secret to see if she's serious in her commitment to improve the situation. Fortunately, she passes it - although she notes that this may bring more trouble to her if it's revealed.

Morton's Fork

comment
Morton's Fork: When the Six pull off their scheme on Draco and Pansy, the former point out that no matter what they do, they lose: either they cut off their deal with Skeeter or not only do their naked pictures end up being spread, their role in Skeeter's campaign against the Six would be revealed. While the Gryffindor team are preparing for the first Quidditch game of the Six's fifth year against Ravenclaw, they're all aware that Cho is currently the weak link due to her grief over Cedric. Nobody likes the idea of using that weakness against Cho, even if they all agree that they won't actively taunt her about it, and there are rumors that Cho will be dropped from the team if she loses this game, but the idea of deliberately losing to "help" Cho won't help matters either. On top of the above issues, Umbridge ultimately gets Harry, Fred, George and Angelina banned from the team for "bad sportsmanship" just to be petty and hurt Sirius by proxy. Dumbledore observes that Umbridge giving the Inquisitorial Squad the power to inflict physical violence on other students puts him in an unfortunate position as he will have to expel those students once Umbridge has been forced out of the school as they have proven themselves to be cruel people who none of the other students can forgive, but he is fully aware that these students will subsequently join Voldemort as the only one who would accept them.

Blatant Lies
 The Chosen Six (Fanfic) / int_40bb59d0
comment
Blatant Lies: Dobby's attempt to keep Harry out of Hogwarts by forging a letter from Harry's guardians stating they are withdrawing him from Hogwarts is easily identified as a fake, because Dobby has little experience in writing in proper English. Not only that, but it was written with a quill, which the Evanses don't use, and the handwriting is too sloppy to belong to an adult and resembles the cursive used in pure-blood circles. For obvious reasons, Remus and Sirius immediately recognize Lockhart's claims of how he fought a werewolf - body-slamming it, holding it down with one hand, and zapping it back to human form - as this. After Crabbe and Goyle attack and get in a fight with Dudley and Millicent, they insist it was the latter two who started it. Even before proving the truth of events by looking at Millicent's memories, the teachers already believed Millicent and Dudley over Crabbe and Goyle, partly because the latter two couldn't even keep their stories straight.

Shoot the Messenger: By his standards, Voldemort shows reasonable restraint when Rookwood informs him that a prophecy can only be removed from the Department of Mysteries by the Seer who made it, the person who heard it or the people it is about (Avery had informed Voldemort someone else could take it), the Dark Lord making it clear that he doesn't blame Rookwood for the "bad" news.

You Are a Credit to Your Race: Sirius suspects this to be the reason behind Kreacher's apparent approval of Diane, Sirius's Muggle wife, and their half-blood twins, in that Kreacher's wish to see the Black line kept alive supersedes any prejudices about blood purity, not that he's complaining about Kreacher's improved behavior. Marcus Flint, a bigot towards Muggles and Muggle-borns, is impressed enough by Dudley's Quidditch tryout to offer him a position as Slytherin's reserve Keeper. He then mentally insults Dudley's own parents, feeling that they're naturally stupid, given they have no magic.

Crazy-Prepared: In addition to drawing an Age Line around the Goblet, Dumbledore also arranges for two Aurors to stand guard inside the Age Line at all times and inspect every slip of paper before it's put into the Goblet to make sure it matches the name of the student submitting it. For further protection, he also makes sure the Goblet will not allow someone to submit a name other than their own. When jinxing the Defence Against the Dark Arts teaching post at Hogwarts, Voldemort made sure to interweave the jinx into the magic of Hogwarts itself, making it so even the Department of Mysteries couldn't remove the jinx. Additionally, abolishing the position or leaving it unfilled for most of the year will lead to the jinx latching onto the closest equivalent at the school. The only ways to lift the jinx are if the caster dies or removes it themself (and Voldemort certainly didn't anticipate the former happening with his Horcruxes).

Wounded Gazelle Gambit: Draco invokes this after he and Pansy are attacked by a Niffler, planning to exaggerate things to his mother to trick her into causing trouble for Hagrid. It works the first time, with a biased Ministry official getting sent to monitor and harass Hagrid until she can find any excuse to have him fired. It doesn't go as well when Draco tries to invoke this a second time by provoking a Kneazle into attacking him; Hagrid is taken to court, and his barrister quickly proves his innocence and Draco’s culpability in the attack, humiliating the latter in the process.

Government Conspiracy: MI-X, a secret agency formed after World War II to prepare the grounds for a takeover of Magical Britain the moment it becomes obvious that keeping The Masquerade will be impossible or when the Ministry for Magic proves unable to hold to its side of the agreement that separated the magical government from the normal one. Their activities seem to be quite far-reaching.

It's All My Fault: Dumbledore feels entirely responsible for letting Millicent and Ginny get taken into the Chamber of Secrets, insisting that it wouldn't have happened if he had succeeded in finding the Chamber himself previously. He even decides he'll resign if serious harm comes to any of the students.

Pragmatic Villainy
 The Chosen Six (Fanfic) / int_5ca80293
comment
Pragmatic Villainy: Though it's a stretch to call him a villain, Argus Filch misses the days when he could carry out corporal punishment on students and seems to still threaten to do so. However, he admits that he's only doing this to scare them, as following through on his threats wouldn't be worth the legal consequences he'd face. While on the Hogwarts Express, Draco backs off from bullying Harry's friends when Percy shows up, not wanting to get into a fight with a Prefect before school even starts. Shortly afterwards, he retreats again after antagonizing Dudley, Millicent Bulstrode, and Daphne Greengrass, realizing it could end ugly for him due to the former two being in Crabbe and Goyle's weight class. More moderate Slytherins could count as downplayed examples. They seem to be prejudiced against Muggle-borns, or at least have a less than positive view of them, based on the words of the Sorting Hat and the fact that only Millicent clapped when Dudley became the first Muggle-born Slytherin in decades. Despite this, they prefer to just stay out of any conflict to avoid consequences and dislike being pressured to pick a side. They also seem to disapprove of Draco and Pansy's lack of subtlety in their bullying in general, being less than impressed when the two steal Neville's Remembrall in plain sight of an entire class. Despite his usual attitude, Voldemort is relieved that nobody died during the troll's attack on Hogwarts on Halloween, as that would draw more attention to the current situation and might expose his own presence. Quirrell avoids jinxing Harry's broom like he did canonically, as Voldemort tells him that they can't risk drawing any more attention to themselves after the troll attack. Moreover, as Snape points out to Dumbledore, Voldemort wants to kill Harry personally, so he likely wouldn't allow any of his followers to do anything that may threaten Harry's life. When Voldemort takes over the Riddle House as his hideout (as he actually owns it under a false identity), he uses a modified Fidelius Charm that makes everyone think the manor was torn down two weeks ago. He also pays Frank Bryce, an elderly injured veteran who'd otherwise have trouble finding work, to keep watch over the supposedly empty grounds and thus help keep the hideout secret. In addition, Voldemort later muses that he has too few followers now to make it worth killing anyone who might make a mistake, even if he will resort to "removal" when he has no other obvious choice and will torture those who failed him in some way. Barty Crouch, Jr. muses that Voldemort will be disappointed by the Death Eaters' attack at the World Cup, as that kind of attack - with hundreds of people from countries all over the world being affected - will ensure that international attention will be brought to Britain precisely when Voldemort wants it to wane so other countries will only see his next attempt to take over Britain as a power struggle. Barty Crouch, Jr. convinces Voldemort to discard his canon plan to enter Harry into the Triwizard Tournament so they can kidnap him for a resurrection ritual, since the Gambit Roulette Voldemort had planned for had very low chances of success and there are better ways to achieve his objectives. Rather than having Harry kidnapped, Voldemort simply orders Pettigrew to stun Harry and take some blood from him while he's unconscious, fulfilling the "blood forcibly taken from the enemy" part of the ritual without risking too much of Dumbledore's attention. Following up his lack of interest in causing an international spectacle, Voldemort notes that he is glad when Cedric is the student portkeyed to his location by the cup; he would have just roughed up Fleur or Krum if either of them had been sent to avoid causing an international incident, but since Cedric is a British national Voldemort can just do whatever he wants to his prisoner and keep the matter contained to Britain.

Sirius also mentions how many Death Eaters will be able to get off scot-free on the flimsy excuse of being mind-controlled due to their money and connections.

Spanner in the Works
 The Chosen Six (Fanfic) / int_60194b82
comment
Spanner in the Works: The Dursleys probably would've continued living their Obsessively Normal lives... if it weren't for their son getting his latent magic awakened by a Dementor attack, which over time leads to his mother slowly overcoming her hatred of magic. Upon learning that Hagrid is secretly raising a dragon in his hut, Draco decides to give the dragon time to grow before turning Hagrid in, so as to have Hagrid get in bigger trouble. However, he didn't account for the Six helping Hagrid smuggle the dragon out of the school before then. As a result, by the time he reports Hagrid to a teacher, the dragon (and all evidence of its presence) is long gone, and Draco is punished for "lying" about a faculty member. Quirrell's plan to Imperius a student and use him to get past the obstacles guarding the Philosopher's Stone might have worked if he hadn't run into Harry's group in the hallway out of dumb luck. Things quickly fall apart when Ron recognizes and greets the student, which leads to the entire group noticing the Imperiused student is acting strangely. Like in canon, Lucius attempts to discredit Arthur Weasley's Muggle Protection Act by slipping Riddle's diary to Ginny. His plot is unknowingly derailed when Ginny gets her books mixed up with Millicent's by accident at Flourish and Blotts, resulting in the latter ending up with the diary instead. Similar to Quirrell, Lockhart might've succeeded in fleeing Hogwarts with his memory intact while the school was in lockdown after the latest Basilisk attack if he hadn't just happen to encounter Harry, Ron, Neville, and Dudley in the corridors as he was attempting to escape. Harry managing to conjure a corporeal Patronus ends up being a major spanner in Fenrir Greyback's attempt to kidnap the former. Greyback's plan to attack Hogwarts was well-timed and prepared but ends up getting royally screwed thanks to the Marauders' Map (which allows Harry to find out the werewolves are on the castle grounds) and Harry conjuring a corporeal Patronus Charm (which allows him to warn Moody). Dumbledore visits Frank Bryce in Little Hangleton to try to learn more about Voldemort and hopefully get some leads about the latter's Horcruxes. Too bad he didn't know the dark wizard had set up his base of operations at the Riddle House right next to Frank's cottage before hiding it under a modified Fidelius Charm, and that Peter Pettigrew was eavesdropping on the entire conversation as a rat. Pettigrew reports what he hears to Voldemort, who realizes Dumbledore must've figured out he made Horcruxes, retrieves Morfin's ring from the Gaunt shack, and begins wearing it at all times, making it much more difficult for Dumbledore to obtain all the Horcruxes. Karkaroff tries to kill Harry by Portkeying him into the middle of the Forbidden Forest, where he expected the latter would likely be killed by the various dangerous creatures living there long before any of the teachers can reach him. What Karkaroff didn't count on was Firenze being nearby and intervening just in time to save Harry's life. Voldemort's attempt to murder Harry by attacking the train fails because (a) the link between Harry and his friends produces a shield that deflects an Avada Kedavra, giving the teens a chance to run, and (b) Harry was able to call Sirius on his mirror, allowing him to raise the alarm. Both factors result in two groups of wizards arriving just in time to force Voldemort to retreat.

Former Teen Rebel
 The Chosen Six (Fanfic) / int_60200c6
comment
Former Teen Rebel: As an adult and particularly after becoming a constable, Sirius realizes that he went overboard with many of his antics in school with his fellow Marauders and explicitly tells Harry to not be like his teenage self when Harry leaves for Hogwarts. He also feels slightly awkward when Fred and George tell him his teenage self is one of their role models. Remus is a more downplayed example, as he was usually trying to keep his friends out of trouble, though he does still develop a newfound appreciation for their former teachers' patience after dealing with difficult students as a private tutor. This seems to apply to all of Harry, Ron, and Neville's parents, as the three are all quite shocked when Hagrid tells them of their parents' antics in school.

Dick Dastardly Stops to Cheat: Umbridge could have easily escaped if she had just run away the moment she learned she was going to be arrested. Instead, she took it upon herself to kill the Six in revenge for their role in stopping her plans. End result: she gets caught - after losing her wand, almost losing her arm, and getting her spine shattered.

Jerkass Has a Point
 The Chosen Six (Fanfic) / int_6b05b601
comment
Jerkass Has a Point: Lucius and Narcissa are pure-blood supremacists with a grudge against Sirius for opposing those views. However, they aren't wrong that it was extremely callous of Sirius to suddenly disinherit Narcissa just days after her father's death and then notify her about it via letter rather than in person. Sirius himself more or less admits he was purposely trying to get on their nerves. Vernon had good reason to be angry that his entire family, including his young son, was woken up in the middle of the night due to his neighbors having loud sex, especially since it happened because said neighbors had carelessly left a window open. The police don't argue when he tells them to take care of it, despite how rude Vernon was about everything. Petunia's anger that she and Dudley had to stay after school with his classmates and their parents so they can all be questioned over his teacher's wig suddenly turning blue was more out of her hatred of magic and Selective Obliviousness towards Dudley's bad behavior. In this case, though, she was right that Dudley couldn't possibly have been the culprit and that the school handled the situation poorly. Veronica is similarly irritated when it's her and Harry's turn to meet with the headmaster and even calls the school out on how silly it is to suspect that one of the 8-year-old students somehow turned the teacher's wig blue in the middle of class while she was wearing it, all without anyone noticing. Of course, Harry and his accidental magic were in fact responsible, which both Veronica and Petunia realize. But since the school doesn't know about magic, they still failed to act rationally with the facts they were given. Stefan Schuster isn't rude to any of the other students, but he's still typically cold, antisocial, and irritable, often complaining about having to attend Hogwarts against his will. However, most of his complaints are well-founded: he was denied the opportunity to be homeschooled in magic so he could continue attending non-magical school, apparently by xenophobic Ministry bureaucrats who looked down on his family for being foreigners; attending Hogwarts cuts him off from the non-magical world he grew up in due to wizarding UK being in Medieval Stasis; he'll now have a lot of catching up to do after Hogwarts if he wants to pursue a non-magical career like he originally planned; and he's not even learning much at Hogwarts due to being so far ahead of his peers or having downright incompetent teachers like Lockhart. His fellow Gryffindors don't hold his attitude against him and sympathize with him instead. Professor McGonagall feels a bit guilty punishing Draco for "lying" about Hagrid illegally owning a dragon, as she knows he had in fact told the truth and that reporting something so dangerous and illegal to a teacher was the right thing to do, even if he only did it to cause trouble for Hagrid. Dumbledore agrees to an extent but nevertheless justifies disciplining Draco on the grounds that he still violated a faculty member's privacy by spying on Hagrid.

Meaningful Name: Diane Watson has a brother and has always struggled with her femininity. She is named after Diana, a tomboyish Roman goddess associated with the Moon and childbirth who is also the twin sister of Apollo. In addition, Diane later marries Sirius Black, whose family tends to name members after celestial bodies or figures from classical mythology, and the two of them have a twin boy and girl. Marc Anciel, one of Fleur Delacour's friends, has a name that, when said with a French pronunciation, sounds like "arc-en-ciel", which means "rainbow". A fitting name for a gay character.

The Points Mean Nothing: After Umbridge reintroduces the point system in Hogwarts (which had been removed more than a decade before), the system quickly proves highly unpopular for students and teachers alike.

Adaptational Early Appearance
 The Chosen Six (Fanfic) / int_723606c4
comment
Adaptational Early Appearance: Many people appear much earlier than they do in the books. In canon, Harry met Ron, Hermione, and Neville in his first year at Hogwarts; Ginny (properly) in his second; and Luna only in his fifth. Here, he meets all of them two years before entering Hogwarts, and they all have appearances in the story even earlier. In canon, Sirius and Lupin were introduced in the third book, while here, they are important characters right from the very start. Barty, Sr. makes his first appearance when the Lestranges and his son are being tried instead of in the fourth book. Soon afterwards, Winky is seen after Barty, Jr. is smuggled out of Azkaban, much earlier than her canonical first appearance during the Quidditch World Cup in the fourth book. Rita Skeeter is mentioned, though not named, after the trial of the Lestranges and is mentioned again a couple of times near the end of second year. Her first actual appearance is during the re-opening ceremony of the Chamber of Secrets in third year instead of the Triwizard Tournament in fourth year. Nymphadora Tonks (Dora here) in canon had her first appearance in book five, while here, her first appearance is right after the trial of the Lestranges. The same goes for her parents, who in canon were only seen in book seven. Horace Slughorn does not appear until Harry's sixth year in canon, whereas here, after coming out of retirement, he is already a Head of House by Harry's first year. Narcissa's first appearance is at the trial of the Lestranges instead of the Quidditch World Cup, which happened in book four. Similarly, Lucius made his first canon appearance in book two, whereas his first appearance here is immediately after the death of Walburga Black, when Sirius becomes the Head of the House of Black and informs Narcissa that she and Draco are cut off from any inheritance. Many antagonists appear earlier here, though they then disappear again until later chapters for obvious reasons. Pettigrew, the Lestranges, the Carrows, and Barty, Jr. all appear in the first two chapters, while in canon, they were only introduced in later years. Umbridge in canon shows up for the first time during Harry's fifth year as one of Fudge's minions. Here, she instead first appears in Harry's second year at the Ministry when Barty, Sr. is presenting his plans for the Triwizard Tournament to Fudge. Fenrir Greyback is officially mentioned and introduced in the sixth book. Here, he is instead mentioned early on by Remus, appears at the end of Harry's second year, and takes on the role of main antagonist for his third year. Fleur makes a slightly earlier appearance at the World Cup instead of shortly after the Beauxbatons delegation arrives at Hogwarts.

 The Chosen Six (Fanfic) / int_72455542
comment
Adaptational Intelligence: A key part of the story being a Fix Fic is that people act more rationally than they do in canon and avoid holding the Idiot Ball as often as they do in canon. Dumbledore is shown to be a more effective leader and headmaster, particularly after Sirius yells at him about how bad an idea it is to send Harry to live with the Dursleys: It's revealed that he's tried having the Department of Mysteries remove the jinx on the Defence Against the Dark Arts post and considered removing the teaching position altogether to sidestep the jinx, both of which turned out to be futile, before settling on hiring teachers for the class on one-year contracts that expire before the school year ends as the most viable option. There's no mention of him doing any of these in canon. He eventually talks to Myrtle and convinces her to testify in court about her death, which exonerates Hagrid, proves the monster in the Chamber of Secrets is a Basilisk, and outs Voldemort as a half-blood named Tom Riddle all at once, even if the last part isn't widely reported. Schmuck Bait is averted for the Forbidden Forest and the third-floor corridor. Instead, Age Lines are used to keep students out. He tells the Hufflepuffs and Slytherins to stay in the Great Hall due to their dorms being in or near the dungeons where the troll was spotted, something he never seems to have considered in canon. It turns out Dumbledore had the real Philosopher's Stone with him the entire time, here, thus ensuring it was never in danger of being stolen. In addition to having students escorted between classes, Dumbledore also lobbies the Board of Governors to purchase Mandrake extract to cure Petrified students and arranges for the construction of a guest building for students to stay in until the Basilisk has been dealt with. Though he already suspected Lockhart was a fraud in canon, Dumbledore takes further steps to shield the students from the consequences of Lockhart's incompetency, such as having Snape lead Duelling Club instead and the house-elves prepare packaged breakfast takeouts so the students won't have to remain in the Great Hall and endure Lockhart's horrid Valentine's Day decorations. Here, Dumbledore has the foresight to preemptively ban Rita Skeeter from the Hogwarts school grounds. Additionally, when he learns she's been defaming his students, he does his best to combat it by announcing to the entire school Skeeter's penchant for misinformation and holding grudges. He's more proactive when preparing for Voldemort's return, mobilizing the old guard immediately after the Death Eaters' attack and the conjuring of the Dark Mark at the Quidditch World Cup. To prevent underage students from being entered in the Triwizard Tournament, Dumbledore not only draws an Age Line around the Goblet of Fire but also has two Aurors guard the Goblet at all times to inspect every submission and cast spells that prevent students from entering someone other than themselves. Dumbledore visits the Department of Mysteries in Harry's fourth year, during which he destroys the prophecy Trelawney made about Voldemort and Harry, realizing that it's the best way to ensure the information remains a secret. He also destroys Trelawney's second prophecy about the Chosen Six for the same reason. While visiting the Gaunt shack, he brings Lupin (for his knowledge of the Gaunt family history), Moody (who can see through walls) and Bill Weasley (who's an expert in defusing magical curses). This pays off when a slight mistake causes him to fall prey to the compulsion curse on the Gaunt Ring's box, but Bill is quick to defuse it while the two others prevent Dumbledore from touching it, hence saving him from the trap that caused his eventual demise in canon. Voldemort is also more subtle and aware of his own shortcomings than he was in canon: It's implied that he ordered Quirrell to not jinx Harry's broom during the Quidditch game, recognizing that doing so would arouse too much suspicion, especially after the troll attack. When Voldemort and his followers hide out at the Riddle House, they cast protective spells around the premises to prevent themselves from being discovered, something they failed to do canonically. Additionally, Barty, Jr. convinces Voldemort to find a simpler approach to obtaining Harry's blood instead of kidnapping the latter for a resurrection ritual by entering him into the Triwizard Tournament. He quickly and rather quietly accepts that Dumbledore has deduced that Voldemort made Horcruxes. Canonically, Voldemort's initial response was denial. This also leads Voldemort to retrieve the Gaunt ring from the shack and begin wearing it at all times to keep it safe. The Gryffindor Quidditch team immediately reports to Madam Hooch that one of the Bludgers has been tampered with, with it being implied that they know they can simply replace the rogue Bludger without having to forfeit. Madam Hooch in turn quickly notices the Bludger isn't acting like it should and tries to stop the game. Fudge abandons his idea to station Dementors around Hogwarts after realizing how dangerous it would be for the students when Dumbledore, Augusta Longbottom, Amelia Bones, and Lucius Malfoy all protest his decision. In canon, he went and implemented his plan anyway, indicating he or the people around him failed to comprehend how bad his idea was. Barty Crouch, Sr. quickly points out how impractical and needlessly dangerous the canonical Triwizard Tournament tasks are and redesigns them into something more appropriate. When feeding libel to Rita Skeeter, Draco and Pansy make sure to do so anonymously so that it can't be traced back to them and they won't be punished for it. They made no such effort in the books and likely only got off scot-free because Adults Are Useless and Voldemort's resurrection demanded more attention. Downplayed for Bagman, who is still irresponsible and completely incompetent at his job. However, he's more careful about rigging the competition in favor of his preferred Champion, making sure to at least appear impartial as a judge by giving everyone fair scores like the rest of the judging panel, with the exception of Karkaroff. In canon, he gave Harry a perfect score in the First Task, despite Harry having gotten injured and making mistakes. The Ministry of Magic is more observant of Ludo Bagman's incompetence and unethical behavior, eventually uncovering enough evidence of fraud and corruption to arrest him. Ron is depicted as an outright Child Prodigy at chess, winning the junior British chess championships at a young age. He is also a good strategist in general, with his tactics at Quidditch being ruthlessly efficient, and he's an adept of Xanatos Speed Chess, as seen when he quickly thinks of a plan to defeat Umbridge by having her meet Grawp.

Godzilla Threshold: Due to the story acknowledging that the Marauder's Map is a gross violation of everybody else's privacy, Harry keeps it under lock and key most of the time and he only uses it in emergencies. As she acknowledges that the Ministry of Magic will collapse within a year, Amelia Bones states she has plans to deal with the enchantments in the Ministry building. Dumbledore realizes what she means, and tells Sirius that it really underlines how desperate the current situation is.

Idiot Ball: Unlike canon, Dumbledore orders the Hufflepuffs and Slytherins to stay in the Great Hall, realizing their dorms are in or near the dungeons where the troll was spotted. However, rather than just have everyone else stay in the Great Hall with them, he still tells the Prefects to escort the Gryffindors and Ravenclaws back to their towers, failing to consider that they may run into the troll while on their way to their dorms, which is of course exactly what happens. All the Champions end up holding it during the First Task when they're each given a boat and two oars and are tasked with getting to the other side of the Black Lake. They all attempt to row across manually, at least until Cedric realizes he could just use magic to move the boat over the water.

Adaptation Relationship Overhaul
 The Chosen Six (Fanfic) / int_72ce3f54
comment
Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: Unlike in canon, Snape isn't respected by the Slytherins, as pure-bloods tend to see him as a traitor and thus tell their children not to trust him. Additionally, due to only teaching Defence Against the Dark Arts to fifth years and up and Potions to NEWT students, he has limited contact with Harry and his friends during their first few years at Hogwarts, generally only observing them from afar. This, combined with having been called out by Dumbledore over his poor behavior as a teacher, ironically leads to him having a slightly less antagonistic relationship with them; though they still don't like each other, Snape is at least willing to concede that Harry is not James, and the Six have a higher opinion of Snape due to not having suffered from his unprofessionalism. After a year-long apprenticeship, Trelawney begins acting more professionally and sheds her theatrical teaching methods, which are hinted to have focused on fraudulent forms of divination. As a result, she isn't at all close to Lavender Brown and Parvati Patil, as the latter two refuse to accept that the stereotypical divination practices they're familiar with are in fact phony. Unlike the books, Argus Filch hates Umbridge because of her blatant Fantastic Racism (which also affects him). In canon, Penelope Clearwater was Percy’s girlfriend for his final two years at Hogwarts (years 2 and 3), after which they went their separate ways, with Percy eventually marrying another woman named Audrey. Here, Percy and Penelope remain together well into the later years. In canon, Angelina Johnson initially was Fred's girlfriend up until his death, after which she married George. Here, she begins to fall for George in fourth year once he consoles her after being attacked by Cormac McLaggen. Harry and Ginny begin a relationship during the summer between their fourth and fifth year, rather than the end of Harry's sixth. Ron and Hermione get together after the Gryffindor-Slytherin Quidditch Match in their fifth year, instead of the tail end of what would be their seventh.

comment
Unwitting Pawn: Like in the canon material, this happens multiple times, with the term "useful idiot" being used here. Lucius Malfoy helps Fudge get elected by aiding the latter's campaign. Then, he waits until Fudge is overwhelmed by his duties before offering his help, which Fudge naturally accepts out gratitude for Lucius's help in his campaign. Of course, Malfoy only sees Fudge as a tool with which he can re-shape Magical Britain to his liking in the long game. Unlike with his Death Eaters, Voldemort merely sees Quirrell as a useful idiot to help him come back to life. He plans to dispose of him as soon as possible, since the man's nihilism makes him a poor underling.

Adaptational Badass: The Patronus Charm and by extension everyone capable of casting one. In canon, the only creatures that are confirmed to be affected by the Patronus Charm are Dementors and Lethifolds, and even then, the charm can only repel the creatures and is incapable of killing them. The Chosen Six has it so that the Patronus Charm is capable of killing Dementors and can seemingly harm any creature who has committed enough crimes to be considered "evil", including Fenrir and his pack for their numerous crimes. Thanks to a Dementor attacking him and Harry earlier than in canon, Dudley's latent magic ends up being awoken, and he goes on to attend Hogwarts to learn to control it.

Spared by the Adaptation
 The Chosen Six (Fanfic) / int_7453bc5b
comment
Spared by the Adaptation: The Lestranges are caught by Alastor Moody and his Auror partners before torturing the Longbottoms gets too far underway. As a result, Neville's parents do not lose their minds (though they are still physically crippled to the point of requiring canes to walk). As a result of the new routine in her life caused by the new school, Luna saves her mother by drawing her away just before the potion Pandora is working on can "backfire" and kill her. Neither Mrs. Norris, Justin Finch-Fletchley, Nearly-Headless Nick, nor Penelope Clearwater are Petrified. Sally-Anne Perks, Myrtle, Luna, and Pansy are instead Petrified in the latter three's place. Those who do get Petrified are also quickly cured thanks Sirius donating a large supply of Mandrake extract to the school, eliminating the school's need to grow their own Mandrakes. Frank Bryce is not killed by Voldemort, as the latter hides the Riddle House from Muggles by casting an altered Fidelius Charm that makes everyone think the house was torn down, then has a wall built around the plot for good measure, preventing Frank from running into Voldemort.

Out-of-Character Alert: When Draco and Pansy DON'T bully everyone they dislike, Daphne, Dudley and Millicent realize something fishy is going on with them. In Chapter 45, Diane, Frank Longbottom, and Sirius note how Lucius has acting unnaturally cold and quiet ever since the World Cup, and Sirius can't help but worry and sees this change as potentially dangerous. Of course, they have a right to be concerned, as unknowing to them, Lucius is secretly serving Voldemort again after his resurrection and was briefly tortured for his betrayal.

Hated by All
 The Chosen Six (Fanfic) / int_77aae115
comment
Hated by All: Much like in the books, Igor is not well-liked by the students at Durmstrang due to how he runs the school. Krum in particular is hoping that the titular group succeeds in finding enough dirt on Karkaroff to get rid of him and promises to keep their attempt to spy on him a secret. Similarly, Umbridge quickly becomes the most detested person in all of Hogwarts. Save for those who know they can benefit (such as Malfoy, Parkinson and their ilk), nobody respects her at all and wants her gone. Malfoy secures a very close second place when he takes advantage of having a waiver to exempt him from any kind of penalty - all so he can harass the Gryffindor team without consequences and brutally hurt Ginny. Even most of Slytherin now hates his guts.

Snape's unpleasantness is clear for all to see, but he is honest about who he is, behaves professionally, and genuinely teaches the class, which causes him to held in greater regard by the students and faculty. His strictness in Dark Arts and Potions is done in order to impress upon his students the dangers of such subjects. Furthermore, his issue with teaching is that he expected too much out of the less experienced students.

Took a Level in Cheerfulness: Filch's mood noticeably improves after he's promoted to school disciplinarian, as not only is he in charge of assigning punishments to students, they also have to show him more respect as a faculty member. He's even given an amulet to reflect spells students try to cast at him back on them. Downplayed for Snape. He remains unpleasant, but less so than before being told he'll be relegated to only teaching potions to NEWT students (as he considers it a bother to deal with inexperienced younger students) and will be made the unofficial Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher for fifth years and up, as he had always preferred teaching that subject as opposed to potions.

Real Event, Fictional Cause: Inverted. Sirius and Diane, along with Veronica and Thomas, watch live the fall of the Berlin Wall. Sirius suggest this will have deep repercussions in the magical world as well due to the recent death of the Russian Dark Lord Kusnetsov, which will eventually cause massive change in magical eastern Europe. Sadly, that in turn would only cause pure-bloods to see more change they dislike. So, this is a case of a real event being the potential cause of fictional events.

Armor-Piercing Question
 The Chosen Six (Fanfic) / int_7b6e47a5
comment
Armor-Piercing Question: When Dumbledore tries to help Moaning Myrtle, the ghost states that she returned so that she could torment Olive Hornby and make her pay for her bullying, which drove Myrtle to lock herself in the bathroom and ultimately led to her death. He then asks her if she truly blames Olive Hornby for her death and if Olive remained a bully after discovering Myrtle's corpse in the bathroom. Myrtle reluctantly admits that her death wasn't truly Olive Hornby's fault and that after coming across Myrtle's dead body, Olive became quiet and withdrawn, rather like Myrtle herself had been before her death. Realizing to her horror that she gave up her chance to rest in peace and condemned herself to her miserable existence just to terrorize someone who didn't deserve it, she becomes committed to bettering herself so as to not keep driving people away. Sirius unwittingly gives Kreacher one when he goes to examine the Black family tapestry, wondering out loud why, if his family valued it so much, they constantly vandalized it by blasting members off. Downplayed in that Kreacher seems to have already been aware of mental instability running in the Black family, though he refuses to outright say it and still struggles slightly to not react to Sirius's question. A minor but important one; Bill cuts off Fred and George teasing Ron about his relationship with Hermione by pointing out that the twins aren't in a position to tease Ron about a possible girlfriend when neither of them has had a serious relationship throughout their time at Hogwarts. After properly introducing herself, Millicent asks if Petunia has a problem with her having magic, pointing out how Petunia has seen her hanging around Dudley for years now and should realize Millicent knows how to blend in with Muggles despite being a witch. Petunia responds that while she's a bit overwhelmed by the revelation, she's not particularly bothered by it like she would've been in the past.

Original Character: A few more prominent ones. Thomas and Veronica Evans, Lily and Petunia's cousin and his wife, who do become Harry's guardians, thus making Mark Evans related to Harry, which he wasn't in canon. Diane Watson, a non-magical woman working in the same police station as Sirius, who becomes his girlfriend, and later his wife and the mother of his children. Her family (her father, brother, and her own children) thus counts as well. Steve and Kathleen Black, Sirius and Diane's twins. Both are friends with Mark and are scheduled to attend Hogwarts. Jonathan Granger, Hermione's baby brother, born during the summer between years 3 and 4. Selene Lovegood, Luna's baby sister, born shortly before the beginning of year 5. She lacks magic, but Xenophilius and Pandora make it very clear that they love her no less because of it. Margaret Thompson, one of Charlie Weasley's coworkers in the dragon preserve who becomes his girlfriend and eventually wife. Elsa Weasley, Charlie and Margaret's daughter.

What Does She See in Him?: A platonic example, as Draco, being Draco, complains to his parents that he doesn't understand why Millicent and Daphne choose to willingly be friends with Dudley.

Luna dropping her typical indifference is often a sign of how serious a situation is. Instances include Malfoy bullying Neville; the troll attack on Halloween; facing Voldemort and the prospect of him reviving himself; and Lockhart's first quiz and over-the-top Valentine's Day decorations.

 The Chosen Six (Fanfic) / int_80f4e386
comment
Ignorant of Their Own Ignorance: Remus and Sirius had cut themselves off so completely from the wizarding world that they only learned that a publishing company has released a series of Harry Potter Adventure Books when Harry is eight years old. For the villains, Greyback's planned assault on Hogwarts is thwarted when Harry is able to use the Marauders' Map to confirm what's happening after the Whomping Willow is set on fire, allowing the staff to respond faster than Greyback had anticipated. While Hogwarts records can automatically update when a magical child is born, only teachers such as McGonagall are aware of how accurate that system is, with McGonagall musing that the system going public might lead to awkward situations if a wizarding family gave birth to a squib and learnt that their child's birth wasn't recorded on the Hogwarts register. Despite Umbridge's attempts to undermine Sirius through his muggle connections, she is still unaware that Harry and Dudley are cousins as she hasn't bothered to explore Sirius's ties to the muggle world any further than absolutely necessary.

Entertainingly Wrong: Vernon and Petunia both assume that Millicent can't be a witch just because she called them on the telephone, incapable of considering that a witch could learn how to use one, even with Lily as a precedent. Karkaroff believes the best way to earn Voldemort's forgiveness is to murder Harry Potter, the boy responsible for his downfall. Of course, the truth is that Voldemort is quite adamant about being the one to kill Harry.

Adaptational Nice Guy
 The Chosen Six (Fanfic) / int_82a64c4b
comment
Adaptational Nice Guy: Dudley becomes a nicer person sooner after the encounter with the Dementor. In canon, Millicent Bulstrode is a fierce and brutish bully. Here, she is insecure, kind, and less prejudiced than the other Slytherins. She becomes friends with Daphne and Dudley and even acts pleasantly towards Hermione, Luna, and Neville. More neutral than nice in Blaise Zabini's case. Canon Blaise is a pure-blood supremacist who looks down on everyone around him and mocks Ginny for being a blood-traitor. Here, he doesn't have any problem partnering with her on a potions assignment and is generally respectful to those around him, even if he tends to keep them at arm's length. He also doesn't really mind sharing a dorm with a Muggle-born, even finding said Muggle-born more bearable than Draco. Similar to Blaise, Theodore Nott isn't a pure-blood supremacist here, though he still prefers to sit on the fence as opposed to going out of his way to be nice to anyone. Downplayed with Colin Creevey. He was never a jerk in canon, but he did often annoy Harry with his fanboy antics after starting school at Hogwarts. Here, due to having met Harry at Remus's magical preschool, he knows that Harry doesn't enjoy being treated like a celebrity and is thus much more respectful of Harry's privacy.

Alternate Universe: While the fic presents itself as a For Want Of A Nail story regarding Sirius deciding not to confront Peter Pettigrew, there are also many other changes completely unrelated to this divergence, such as the British Government (beyond the Prime Minister) being aware of the magical world and keeping a close eye on it; Petunia's cousin and his wife (both nonexistent in canon) moving to Little Whinging; Greyback's attack on Hogwarts in retaliation to Umbridge's anti-werewolf laws; Barty Crouch, Sr. turning down Ludo Bagman's suggestions for the canon Triwizard Tournament tasks; and Harry not being entered into said tournament after Barty Crouch, Jr. convinces Voldemort to drop his original plan to kidnap Harry for the sake of something less convoluted.

Promoted to Love Interest: Neville and Luna, who were never more than True Companions in the books, although they did have a bit of Ship Tease in the films. Dudley and Millicent, who canonically aren't even acquainted. Inverted for Draco and Astoria, who in canon got married and had a son. Word of God has pretty much promised that nothing will ever happen between the two due to Draco and Pansy constantly bullying Astoria and her sister Daphne for being friends with Dudley.

Broken Pedestal: Molly and Hermione in particular lose their admiration for Lockhart when Lupin draws their attention to the more blatant holes in Lockhart's claims, such as the impossibility of him holding his own against a werewolf with his bare hands. Any remaining respect the Six may have had for Lockhart vanishes after they see his first Defence Against the Dark Arts quiz is just a list of questions about himself. Lockhart starts off the school year with many admirers among the student body. However, they quickly grow disillusioned with him after witnessing his incompetence up close. After it's revealed that Lockhart's a fraud, his fans all swiftly disown him. Rufus Scrimgeour stops thinking highly of Umbridge after all the trouble she causes his department with her push for anti-werewolf laws. Percy learns about Barty Crouch, Sr.'s controversial actions during the First Wizarding War after the latter's death, which ends up destroying Percy's admiration for the latter. Whatever regard the Six and the Weasleys may have had for Ludo Bagman, a retired professional Quidditch player who helped Arthur obtain Top Box tickets to the World Cup, soon vanishes after they hear he hasn't reported that Bertha Jorkins has been missing for seven months and see how bad of a job he did with organizing the World Cup finals.

Instead, the Death Eaters only send one person in to create an illusion of Hogwarts burning to distract the people defending Hogsmeade, allowing them to attack the town almost unopposed.

Humiliation Conga
 The Chosen Six (Fanfic) / int_890d4ef2
comment
Lucius orchestrates the second opening of the Chamber of Secrets to discredit Arthur Weasley's Muggle Protection Act and get Dumbledore fired. His Humiliation Conga begins when he pressures the Hogwarts Board of Governors to not buy Mandrake extract to cure the Petrified students or take any further safety precautions. Sirius, who Lucius was already feuding with, reveals the Board's negligence to the press while donating the Mandrake extract himself, which prompts a flood of public outcry against the Board. It's implied that Lucius was forced to hide from the public eye and Fudge until the scandal was over to avoid answering uncomfortable questions, which drove Fudge to listen to Dumbledore's advice instead. Later, Lucius learns that his plan failed on both counts; Ginny never wrote in the diary, and Dumbledore outmaneuvered him by preventing him from coercing the Board to remove Dumbledore as Headmaster. Harry also reveals in front of numerous witnesses, some of whom hold political influence, that Lucius was behind everything, and that Lucius's own house-elf betrayed him, forcing Lucius to free said house-elf. Finally, he gets fired from the Board of Governors and has to explain his role in the entire ordeal to his outraged wife, as the final attack revealed that pure-bloods like Draco weren't safe from the Basilisk either.

Didn't Think This Through
 The Chosen Six (Fanfic) / int_8d0785d5
comment
Didn't Think This Through: Dudley is far too eager to go after Harry once he feels a suitable amount of time has passed since his last attempt to attack Harry, ignoring how he would still be the obvious suspect for any adults involved. During the troll attack, Dumbledore, realizing the Slytherin and Hufflepuff dorms are too close to where the troll apparently is, tells those two Houses to stay in the Great Hall. Rather than just having all the students hunker down in the Great Hall until the troll has been dealt with, though, he still orders the Prefects to escort the Gryffindors and Ravenclaws back to their dorms. The result is that the Six's group ends up running into the troll while on their way to their tower. It didn't seem to occur to Draco that Hagrid might try to get rid of the dragon he'd illegally hatched to avoid repercussions. Thus, rather than immediately reporting Hagrid after he discovers the dragon, Draco decides to wait a few days for the dragon to grow and thus give Hagrid more of a headache over trying to hide it, during which Hagrid succeeds in smuggling said dragon out of Hogwarts and disposing of any remaining evidence. Draco and Lucius buy seven Nimbus 2001 brooms for the Slytherin Quidditch team simply because it's the newest, fastest non-professional model broom to have been manufactured. They, along with the rest of the Slytherin team, fail to consider that while a broom that prioritizes speed above everything else is ideal for a Seeker, other Quidditch positions require brooms that focus more on factors like reaction time for Keepers and maneuverability for Chasers. After their first match with their new Nimbus 2001s, the rest of the Slytherin team agree they were better off with their old brooms, and Marcus Flint chews Draco out for giving them such a bad deal. Rita Skeeter decides to sneak into Hogwarts for the opening ceremony for the restored Chamber of Secrets and tries to get an interview with Harry, ignoring (or perhaps just not caring) how she would almost certainly quickly be caught and that Dumbledore would've likely taken extra measures to make sure Harry Potter doesn't get harassed due to his fame. After Draco complains to Narcissa about getting attacked by a Niffler (because he ignored Hagrid's clear instructions on what to do), Narcissa pressures the Ministry to send an official to inspect Hagrid's classes, with the clear aim of getting him fired at the first excuse. Rather than let Hagrid wallow in his misery, Draco decides to deliberately ignore instructions again in the next class, on Kneazles, and when he is naturally attacked by the creature, he attempts to play up the small scratch like it were a grievous injury. The official manages to get Hagrid hauled before a judge, whereupon Hagrid's barrister quickly makes a fool out of Draco by proving that his injuries were trivial and caused by his own stupidity. Ludo Bagman is prone to this: During the planning stages of the Triwizard Tournament, Ludo proposes the canon tasks. His ideas are immediately shot down by Barty Crouch, Sr., who points out how holding the Second Task and Third Task in the Black Lake and a hedge maze, respectively, would prevent anyone from even seeing the Champions. Moreover, using dragons in the First Task would pose a serious safety risk to not just the Champions but also everyone else present, given the Tournament was originally discontinued after a cockatrice got loose and attacked the judges. He's caught completely flat-footed when Sirius and Diane angrily call him out for trying to get the Weasley boys to gamble on the World Cup finals. Apparently, it never occurred to him that people might object to him soliciting sports bets from minors. Ludo's poor planning leads to there not being enough translators present at the Quidditch World Cup finals. He also approves of the Veela and Leprechaun mascots and their respective pre-game displays, failing to foresee the riot potential of Veelas effortlessly seducing men and Leprechauns bribing the audience with fake gold. The group decides to spy on Karkaroff the day before the Triwizard Tournament's last task, and catch him in the middle of putting up traps to benefit Krum - only for Karkaroff to easily catch them on the attempt thanks to his experience. After the encounter, the Six admit it wasn't exactly a brilliant idea. Like Ludo Bagman, Umbridge has a tendency to fall victim to this: She sends two Dementors to attack Sirius at Little Whinging, expecting Sirius to either die or use his magic so she can get him in legal trouble. She didn't take into account the fact that Sirius keeps Mr. Shark on retainer as his solicitor, and that both him and Mr. Shark are all too knowledgeful of the dirty tricks the Ministry can use to deal with "unwanted" evidence. Once Umbridge has started work at Hogwarts, she attempts to ensure that she has full control over Defence classes, overlooking that Snape has been contractually responsible for the older years for over a decade. She also attempts to reinstate the house point system to encourage a lack of unity among the houses, but since no current students have ever experienced said system nobody is particularly attached to it. She then empowers her minions into the Inquisitorial Squad, thinking that this will be sufficient to cow the other students. The students instead turn up the heat by retaliating against them whenever they try to mess around.

Medieval Stasis
 The Chosen Six (Fanfic) / int_8f37b
comment
Stefan Schuster isn't rude to any of the other students, but he's still typically cold, antisocial, and irritable, often complaining about having to attend Hogwarts against his will. However, most of his complaints are well-founded: he was denied the opportunity to be homeschooled in magic so he could continue attending non-magical school, apparently by xenophobic Ministry bureaucrats who looked down on his family for being foreigners; attending Hogwarts cuts him off from the non-magical world he grew up in due to wizarding UK being in Medieval Stasis; he'll now have a lot of catching up to do after Hogwarts if he wants to pursue a non-magical career like he originally planned; and he's not even learning much at Hogwarts due to being so far ahead of his peers or having downright incompetent teachers like Lockhart. His fellow Gryffindors don't hold his attitude against him and sympathize with him instead.

Crazy Enough to Work: During their defense of Gryffindor Tower, Harry gets the weird idea to have Ginny touch her wand to his while his fox Patronus is out. The moment she does, the Patronus morphs into a fox/horse hybrid that becomes much stronger, so he prompts the other Chosen Six to do the same. The resulting Patronus combination quickly throws Greyback and the werewolves that are still alive out the common room's door and prevents them from reentering.

Laser-Guided Karma: Often ties in with Humiliation Conga and Hoist by His Own Petard. After taking off on their broomsticks despite Madam Hooch outright telling them not to do so while she was gone and stealing and breaking Neville's Remembrall, Pansy Parkinson and Draco Malfoy are each forced to clean a bathroom while being taunted by a snarky supervisor. Malfoy, whose idea it was to take off on their broomsticks, is also banned from attending Quidditch team tryouts once they're opened to first years. Moreover, being used to throwing his father's name around, he anticipated having his family's support when they found out; instead, they scold him for his lack of subtlety. Draco bribes his way onto the Slytherin team by getting his father to buy them new Nimbus 2001 brooms, then gets called out on this by Hermione in front of the Gryffindor and Slytherin teams and has his bribe backfire when the rest of the Slytherin team realize in the middle of their game against Gryffindor that they were better off with their old brooms due to the Nimbus 2001's Crippling Overspecialization. Moreover, when the former incident spurs him to call Hermione a Mudblood, he's promptly hit with the Slug-vomiting Charm, and pictures of him belching up slugs are quickly distributed throughout the school. Pansy gets Petrified after sneaking off from her class to cause trouble for Hermione, Ginny, and Luna. Lucius tries to discredit Arthur Weasley's Muggle Protection Act by secretly slipping Riddle's diary to Ginny; not only does his plan fail when Millicent ends up with the diary instead, but it also rallies Sirius, the Longbottoms, and the Weasleys to ally themselves as his political enemies. Meanwhile, his attempts to block funding for Mandrake extract to cure the Petrified students causes a PR nightmare for him and the rest of the Board of Governors when Sirius reveals their reckless decisions to the press and donates the Mandrake extract himself, and he ends up getting voted off the Board after trying to strong-arm everyone else into firing Dumbledore. He's also forced to set his house-elf Dobby free, vanish many of his illegal artifacts in case Dobby rats him out, and then give an explanation to his infuriated wife after the final attack reveals that pure-bloods like their son Draco weren't safe from the Basilisk either. Lockhart tries to erase Dudley, Harry, Neville, and Ron's memories when they find out he's trying to escape Hogwarts. The reflected spell leaves him in a coma, and Dumbledore releases the evidence he has found of Lockhart's misdeeds, destroying his popularity. Draco and Pansy's decision to ignore Hagrid's instructions results in them getting attacked by a Niffler in front of their entire class. Blaming Hagrid for this, Draco tries to get him fired by exaggerating the attack to his mother and provoking a second attack from a Kneazle in front of Umbridge, who soon takes Hagrid to court. At the trial, Hagrid's barrister reveals the truth of the events and conclusively proves that Draco's injuries were extremely minor and entirely his own fault, humiliating Draco before the entire courtroom. Additionally, Draco and Pansy's attempt to milk the second attack by overstaying their visit to the hospital wing results in them both being given an unexcused absence. Rita Skeeter spies on Sirius in order to get something that will allow Umbridge to smear him, both for money and to get revenge on him. Umbridge betrays her by force-feeding her Veritaserum so she'll reveal her security measures and contacts, having her memories of dealing with her Obliviated, and then reporting her illegal Animagus form to send her to Azkaban. When the Hogwarts students target Umbridge and the Inquisitorial Squad, none of the teachers do anything to help them since they both don't know exactly who is doing it, and even if they did, Umbridge and the Inquisitorial Squad have been so openly cruel that nobody wants to help them anyway. Trying to run away from Hogwarts after Fudge is sacked, Umbridge decides to kill the Six on the way out. Ron tricks her into following the group to Grawp's lair, and Grawp wrecks her arm and shatters her spine.

You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Umbridge hires Skeeter to find dirt on Sirius Black. When Skeeter brings the information, she promptly betrays her by forcing her to hand it over, having an Obliviator erase her memories of both her deal and the work she did and then having her sent to Azkaban. Voldemort intends to get rid of Lucius Malfoy the moment Fudge loses his position, as Lucius' only worth to him is precisely that influence.

Ignored Aesop: The Malfoys are forced to acknowledge as early as Draco's first year that their attitude towards their son has left him with an inflated sense of his own importance and ability. Despite this, Draco continues to blame others for such problems his inability to try out for a house team in first year despite the new rules, and Narcissa privately acknowledges that Lucius stepping in won't help Draco learn anything.

Umbridge hides her unpleasantness by being overly nice, which almost everyone sees through. Her refusal to truly teach anything and her noticeably unprofessional behavior make her deeply unpopular, her strictness is done not to teach but to control, and she treats even the most advanced students as if they know nothing.

The main reason why Sirius reluctantly takes over as the head of the Black family is because he sees the only genuine alternative, Draco through his mother Narcissa, as this since it would mean Lucius would have more power and he finds the idea abhorrent.

Never My Fault
 The Chosen Six (Fanfic) / int_973d220f
comment
Never My Fault: Pansy blames her Petrification on Millicent, convinced that the latter was trying to harm her even while possessed by Riddle. However, Pansy only got Petrified because she snuck away from her class to go cause trouble for Hermione, Luna, and Ginny, who were the actual targets of the attack. When Draco Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson are attacked by a Niffler during Hagrid's first lesson, they immediately decide to blame Hagrid for it, even though they ignored his warning to remove any shiny objects ahead of time since they would be working with creatures who are attracted to them (Malfoy had a pocket-watch and Parkinson a necklace). In the Schuster Affair between the British and German Ministries of Magic, the former acts like it were the wronged party, ignoring how unfairly they'd treated the Schusters by refusing to let them homeschool their son, then trying to arrest the boy immediately after he'd been infected with lycanthropy. Rita Skeeter blames her total financial ruin on Dumbledore and the Six, conveniently forgetting that the only reason she was put through trial and heavily fined was the lurid and blatantly false articles she wrote on them and other people. After Voldemort's public reappearance in Diagon Alley, Fudge refuses to see how it could be his fault that no one was ready for the return of the Death Eaters in spite of him all but paving the way for it to happen. With all the horrible stuff she's done through the year, Umbridge considers being prosecuted for her crimes unfair. Draco and Pansy, once again, are unwilling to accept blame for the consequences of their actions as Umbridge's toadies.

Draco bribes his way onto the Slytherin team by getting his father to buy them new Nimbus 2001 brooms, then gets called out on this by Hermione in front of the Gryffindor and Slytherin teams and has his bribe backfire when the rest of the Slytherin team realize in the middle of their game against Gryffindor that they were better off with their old brooms due to the Nimbus 2001's Crippling Overspecialization. Moreover, when the former incident spurs him to call Hermione a Mudblood, he's promptly hit with the Slug-vomiting Charm, and pictures of him belching up slugs are quickly distributed throughout the school.

Quirrell avoids jinxing Harry's broom like he did canonically, as Voldemort tells him that they can't risk drawing any more attention to themselves after the troll attack. Moreover, as Snape points out to Dumbledore, Voldemort wants to kill Harry personally, so he likely wouldn't allow any of his followers to do anything that may threaten Harry's life.

Took a Level in Badass
 The Chosen Six (Fanfic) / int_9bcd82c0

Took a Level in Badass: Comparatively, anyway. Trelawney spends a year on sabbatical to get a better understanding of what is involved in Divination and subsequently tailors her course to more focus on giving people instruction in the details of the power, with the goal of eventually picking out true Seers. Ron and Ginny are no longer intimidated and in fact retort back whenever their family's lack of money is made fun of due to the Weasleys being on more solid financial ground thanks to Ron and Ginny's compensation from the Basilisk ordeal and Ron's Junior National Chess Tournament winnings. Hagrid spends time working with Professor Kettleburn before his retirement so that he can get a better sense of what he needs to be as a teacher, allowing him to start his first lesson for Harry's year with Nifflers rather than going straight to Hippogriffs. Peter Pettigrew is a straighter example. Years of travelling with the Carrows in search of Voldemort toughens him both physically and mentally, and by the time they finally find their master, Pettigrew's truly loyal to him instead of simply following him out of fear.

Fix Fic: Sirius decides not to go after Peter Pettigrew and instead to tell Dumbledore of the latter's betrayal, which triggers a series of far-ranging changes. The author also deconstructs and lampshades various plot points from canon to portray events more realistically, and Idiot Ball moments tend to be averted as well. Sirius calls Dumbledore out on his plan to leave Harry to be raised by the Dursleys, leading to Dumbledore questioning himself and reflecting on his actions. As a result of this, Dumbledore learns to be less secretive of his plans and starts devoting more time to improving Hogwarts. Harry has a happy childhood due to being raised by his mother's cousin's family instead of the Dursleys. Thus, as a teenager, he's more willing to turn to adults and authority figures for help. The Hogwarts staff recognize that the House points system is worsening already tense rivalries between Houses and being misused by biased teachers. This leads to Dumbledore discontinuing the House Cup, as well as taking Snape to task on his unprofessional behavior. Dumbledore talks to Myrtle and convinces her to change her attitude to stop driving people away. She also agrees to testify in court about the events surrounding her death, which end ups exonerating Hagrid and helping everyone realize that the monster in the Chamber of Secrets is a Basilisk years earlier than in canon. Algernon Longbottom is ordered to stay away from Neville after his first attempt to force magic out of the latter nearly kills the boy. In canon, it's implied he was still allowed near Neville and continued to attempt to force magic out of him by putting him in dangerous situations, and that Neville's other relatives made little if any effort to stop him. Age Lines are used to keep students out of the Forbidden Forest and the third-floor corridor that leads to the Philosopher's stone. Additionally, Dumbledore makes sure that Acromantulas are confined to a specific area of the forest. Karma Houdini is generally averted for Draco and Pansy, who are regularly punished for their bullying antics. The Hufflepuffs and Slytherins are told to remain in the Great Hall during the troll attack, as their dorms are located in the dungeons where the troll is believed to be. Major events like the troll attack, Quirrell's death, and Basilisk Petrifications result in the authorities and concerned parents being notified and arriving at the school. The detention in the Forbidden Forest never occurs, partly because the canon events leading up to it are rewritten. The author even points out how ridiculous it was for students to receive such a dangerous punishment simply for being out of bounds after curfew. When the Gryffindor team notices when one of the Bludgers has been tampered with to only go after Harry, they do the sensible thing and immediately report it to Madam Hooch. Madam Hooch in turn quickly notices something's wrong and moves to stop the game and replace said Bludger to ensure a fair match, for all the good it does. Rather than just deciding to spend months growing their own Mandrakes to prepare an antidote for the Petrified students, the staff lobbies the Board of Governors to buy some from a supplier. When that fails due to Lucius Malfoy's maneuvering, Sirius donates a large supply to the school instead, meaning the Petrified students don’t end up missing months of their education. Dumbledore makes sure that a competent teacher leads Duelling Club instead of Lockhart. As a result, the club isn't disbanded after its first meeting. Lockhart is actually outed as a fraud to the public after Dumbledore collects enough evidence on him. Moreover, his fans in the school, including Hermione, grow disillusioned from him faster than in canon. Harry, Hermione, and Ron aren't forced to get Lockhart's pixies back in their cage after Lockhart abandons them, nor does Neville fall after being dangled from the ceiling. Instead, the Six quickly flee the classroom once the pixies are released, with the rest of the students following suit, leading to Lockhart being the main victim of his incompetence. When administering Skele-Gro to Harry, Madam Pomfrey directs her anger at Lockhart for performing healing magic that he wasn't professionally trained in instead of at Harry for not coming to her first. After the Basilisk is killed, its corpse is harvested and sold off, and the Chamber is restored so it can be repurposed for educational uses, including Duelling Club meetings. Fudge's plan to station Dementors around Hogwarts is quickly dismissed due to how much it would endanger the students. When Barty Crouch, Sr. plans out the tasks for the Triwizard Tournament, he shoots down the canon ones, arguing that the tasks are not supposed to be lethal and that the second and third would have ended up with the spectators not seeing anything at all. Frank Bryce survives due to Voldemort hiding the Riddle House under a Fidelius Charm, preventing Frank from coming across the latter. Fred and George do not lose their life savings to Ludo Bagman thanks to Sirius and Diane scaring Ludo off by calling him out on trying to solicit minors. Ludo is also shown facing more consequences for his incompetency, culminating in his arrest for massive fraud. Dumbledore is much more thorough in his precautions to prevent underage students from being entered in the Triwizard Tournament. It's rendered rather moot, though, when Voldemort decides against entering Harry into the Tournament as part of his plan for his resurrection. Hagrid is more careful when he speaks with Madame Maxime, ensuring their relationship has a chance of working. Rita Skeeter gets some well-deserved Laser-Guided Karma for her sensationalist style of journalism. Additionally, the teachers are more proactive in protecting the students from Rita's lies, especially when the resulting hate mail injures two students. Dumbledore destroys the prophecies related to Harry and the Chosen Six, replacing them with empty spheres and hiding whom the sphere is meant to be about in the latter case. Instead of sending the Order to guard them, he might as well destroy both prophecies and spend the time and effort doing something more useful. While the Order does end up setting up guards, they are mostly there to make Voldemort think there's something to catch. The guards are also able to catch Sturgis Podmore and Broderick Bode before they enter, saving both of them from their canon fates. Dumbledore provides Hagrid and Madame Maxime with an emergency portkey when they go to attempt negotiation with the Giants, which they, along with Grawp, are able to use to escape to safety once things end up taking a turn for the worse. Dumbledore shows the memories he collected on Voldemort's life with more people than just Harry. This not only provides with more people that know the truth, they are also capable of providing better suggestions about it, allows the group to find where two Horcruxes are (even if one of them is inaccessible right now) and destroy one of them, and gives Sirius and Kreacher closure for Regulus's disappearance.

Benevolent Boss: Zigzagged for Fenrir Greyback. It's brought up that one of his followers lost two fingers and spent a week recovering from his injuries because he approached Greyback while the latter was venting out his anger. On the other hand, when one member of Greyback's pack questions his recent tactics of organizing multiple random attacks, Greyback replies, "No questions are stupid" and explains that his goal was to draw attention away from his main target. Moreover, when discussing his plans for an attack on Hogwarts, he's upfront about how most of them will die, gives everyone a chance to back out, and feels genuine pride when none of them do. Ultimately Subverted once he eventually gloats about the tightening of laws against werewolves furthering their radicalization, as well as him having no care for the cost. Even Voldemort can be this on occasion; he at least tolerates Barty Crouch, Jr. questioning his plans, acknowledging the young man as one of his most loyal and intelligent followers.

After her talk with Dumbledore and subsequent Jerkass Realization, Moaning Myrtle adopts a much more pleasant attitude. She even receives an updated version of the school uniform and becomes a greeter for the first-year students, answering some of their immediate questions before the Sorting.

And There Was Much Rejoicing: Many students cheer when Snape blows Lockhart off the stage with a Disarming Charm during Duelling Club. Bear in mind that none of the students, not even the Slytherins, like Snape here.

Filch's mood noticeably improves after he's promoted to school disciplinarian, as not only is he in charge of assigning punishments to students, they also have to show him more respect as a faculty member. He's even given an amulet to reflect spells students try to cast at him back on them.

Ascended Extra: Does happen in the story. The biggest one is possibly Dudley Dursley. In canon, he only shows up at the beginning of each book and has a limited role. Here, a Dementor attack unlocks his latent magic, meaning that he goes to Hogwarts as well, taking up the role of a major supporting character. He becomes the first Muggle-born student to be sorted in Slytherin in decades and makes friends with Daphne Greengrass and Millicent Bulstrode. Mark Evans was just a short mention in one of the books as one of Dudley's bullying targets. Here, he's pretty much Harry's younger brother in anything but blood, and he even becomes a student at Hogwarts. Pansy Parkinson in canon was just a background character that only appeared a handful of times. Here, she is Draco's equal as the student-antagonist from Slytherin. Millicent Bulstrode was a very minor antagonist in the books. Here, she is one of Dudley's friends and a fellow Slytherin. Daphne Greengrass is a very obscure character within canon, getting only a brief mention. Here, like with many fanfics featuring the character, her role is increased where she is friends with Millicent and Dudley. Played with regarding Kellah Miller, who was originally a minor background character from the third film. While she still remains in the background for the most part, she receives more interactions with the main and side characters, as well as being given more personality in general.

Only Known by Their Nickname: A variation. Instead of using her last name, Nymphadora Tonks, after input from Sirius, uses the shortened "Dora", which is a fully acceptable name in its own right. Only her mother proves difficult about it.

The Friend Nobody Likes: Draco Malfoy ultimately achieves this status in fifth year when Umbridge's decree that nobody is allowed to act against him, not even the referee, during the Quidditch match against Gryffindor culminates in him only catching the Snitch after hitting Ginny in the face; literally nobody else celebrates that victory, and even the rest of the Slytherin team spent most of the game helping Draco's victims.

 The Chosen Six (Fanfic) / int_a91078ea
comment
Adaptational Jerkass: It's implied that rather than just altering their memories so he can claim their accomplishments as his own, Lockhart instead put his victims in vegetative states with his Memory Charms, as he tries to do the same to Harry, Ron, Neville, and Dudley once they learn how he's been stealing credit from others. Vernon becomes a worse character due to Dudley being a wizard. It ends up leading to him being sent to prison when he attacks Petunia and attempts to do the same with Dudley after Marge has a stroke because of the Dementors trying to prey on Sirius.

When feeding libel to Rita Skeeter, Draco and Pansy make sure to do so anonymously so that it can't be traced back to them and they won't be punished for it. They made no such effort in the books and likely only got off scot-free because Adults Are Useless and Voldemort's resurrection demanded more attention.

Harry's run-in with a rogue Dementor at age 9 results in Voldemort's soul fragment in Harry's head being destroyed. Dumbledore is aware of it, so the need for Harry to essentially become a Tyke Bomb is now gone. The same run-in also includes Dudley, which not only results in him having his Heel Realization earlier, but also awakens his latent magical potential.

In Chapter 45, Diane, Frank Longbottom, and Sirius note how Lucius has acting unnaturally cold and quiet ever since the World Cup, and Sirius can't help but worry and sees this change as potentially dangerous. Of course, they have a right to be concerned, as unknowing to them, Lucius is secretly serving Voldemort again after his resurrection and was briefly tortured for his betrayal.

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Draco decides to hold off on exposing Hagrid for illegally owning a dragon so that said dragon would grow bigger, be harder to hide, and get Hagrid in even more trouble. Unfortunately for him, this ends up giving Hagrid enough time to get rid of all evidence, and Draco instead gets punished for "lying" about a faculty member. While Fudge is more of an idiot than a villain, it's noted that his paranoia has led to him making enemies because he's firing people who might act against him.

Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse: As Sirius puts it, while it is true that Magical Britain's Fantastic Racism against werewolves is sickening, it does not excuse Fenrir Greyback and his pack's actions.

Pyrrhic Victory: Vernon manages to get Petunia evicted from their home at Privet Drive after their divorce, but it's made obvious that being sent to prison will prevent him from living there, and he ends up being forced to sell it in order to pay for all the fines and costs derived. After Karkaroff's capture and his Deputy running away, Durmstrang becomes an active war zone between different factions vying for control. After two years, one person manages to win - but by then Durmstrang's reputation is in ruins, they have no students, and the last clash blew up a quarter of the building and shattered the wards keeping everyone out, allowing the Norwegian Ministry to finally access the building, arrest everyone and investigate everything.

Be Careful What You Wish For: Stefan spends most of his time at Hogwarts complaining about how he doesn't want to be there and wishing the Ministry would stop forcing him to attend. He finally gets his wish near the end of his third year, with Umbridge showing up to arrest him and other students who were infected by Fenrir Greyback's pack, though Dumbledore fortunately manages to whisk the students and their parents off to Germany for asylum before then. Argus Filch has spent many years claiming he wanted to restore corporal punishment at Hogwarts, although it was mostly meant to be an intimidation tactic to scare the students into behaving. Then he sees what it truly entails when Umbridge allows the Inquisitorial Squad free reign to apply it, and loses all taste for it when Fred and George are savagely beaten in public. Draco and Pansy thought they'd have a great time working for Voldemort. Voldemort puts them under the "care" of Bellatrix Lestrange, who trains them to be loyal Death Eaters through brutal Training from Hell and forcing them to see her torture people. They find themselves very much out of place.

Selective Obliviousness
 The Chosen Six (Fanfic) / int_b0bce7aa
comment
Selective Obliviousness: The best description of the Dursleys' attitude towards their son early on; even after Dudley's been suspended from school for assaulting another student, they continue to blame everyone else for provoking him rather than just accept the criticism and try and help him improve. At one point, Umbridge convinces herself that the "only" reason Dumbledore appointed Lupin to the Defence post is that he's basically running out of options, ignoring how Lupin was a genuinely good teacher even if her argument certainly applied to Lupin's predecessor Lockhart. After Cedric's death, despite all the various clues suggesting the return of Voldemort, even when Dumbledore volunteers the alternative explanation that it must be a group of people trying to restart Voldemort's reign of terror, Fudge immediately tries to argue that it must be one lone madman despite the scale of the crime requiring a few different people at least. After Lucius is arrested, Draco worries about how he'll cope when his father has always been there to support him (explicitly forgetting the times when his father didn't help out because he was disappointed in his son) and expresses faith that Voldemort will have Lucius released when he takes power, rather than consider how his father has let Voldemort down a great deal in recent times and has proven to be an unworthy servant.

Moral Myopia: Lucius is outraged that his allies didn't protest his removal from the Hogwarts Board of Governors due to being more concerned about protecting themselves, apparently not realizing that he regularly engages in similarly selfish behavior. Draco declares that Lucius being fired from the Board of Governors is foul play, yet feels proud of his father's scheme of unleashing the basilisk on the school to get rid of Dumbledore. When the students bitten by Greyback's pack are evacuated with their families to Germany for asylum from the British Ministry, Fudge's government issues a complaint because they were unable to arrest the victims. Rita Skeeter agrees to find dirt on Sirius Black partly out of revenge - because Sirius ensured she was punished for the lies she wrote about him, Harry, and his friends.

comment
Everyone Has Standards: Snape favors Slytherin over the other Houses and dislikes Gryffindors in particular. Nevertheless, his biases do have their limits: He begrudgingly praises Bill Weasley when the latter succeeds in brewing a potion perfectly. Moreover, a Slytherin student in the same class messes up her potion so badly that even Snape tells her it's a disaster and vanishes the entire thing for being unsalvageable. During the first Dueling Club meeting, Snape is quite angered when Pansy casts a spell during her duel with Hermione that causes the latter's teeth to grow out of control; he warns Pansy that Hermione could have died or been permanently injured. He's later similarly outraged when Draco summons a snake during a duel with Harry, as it causes a mass panic in the crowd due to the school still being on edge after the Basilisk attacked Colin. The Marauders were bullies in their teenage years and pulled pranks that were sometimes downright cruel and even dangerous, but they drew the line at Muggle-baiting. For as long as he could remember, including when he was a spoiled bully, Dudley has always hated even being around his aunt Marge, even though she never speaks ill of him and indulges him with presents and money. He doesn't understand why at first, but he eventually realizes it's because she's just that unpleasant. Similarly, Dudley normally has nothing against dogs, but he absolutely despises Marge's ill-tempered bulldog Ripper, even though Marge makes sure Ripper doesn't act vicious towards him. Despite Petunia's dislike of magic, after learning that Dudley has magic himself, she acknowledges that he does need to get an education in his newfound powers so that he doesn't hurt himself or others. Though he would never admit it, even Kreacher realizes how mentally unstable numerous members of the Black family were. Slughorn recruits promising students into the Slug Club, hoping to reap the rewards of their future success by showing them favoritism during their Hogwarts years. Yet despite his calculating personality, there are red lines he won't cross: He observes that while Draco is from a wealthy family, Draco himself isn't good at connecting with others and lacks the drive to achieve success on his own. This, combined with the fact that Draco shares his family's fanatical views, results in Slughorn deciding against recruiting him into the Slug Club. Similarly, Slughorn later makes it clear that he never pursued Lockhart when he was at Hogwarts because Lockhart showed no talent or connections that would make him worth cultivating as a future contact, to the extent that Slughorn is legitimately puzzled at how he's done so well now. When he learns about Lucius Malfoy endangering children to boost his own political standing, Slughorn expresses nothing but blatant disgust at such ruthlessness, as every connection Slughorn makes benefits both parties rather than just himself. It is for similar reasons that he never sought Narcissa or Bellatrix, either: he could easily tell that the former was All Take and No Give and could sense the latter's incipient madness. While he's committed to helping students learn, Crabbe and Goyle are so dense that even he gives up on them. He could also see Umbridge's real person and ensured she never had any position of power while at school. Luna often behaves strangely and tends to blurt out odd theories about magical creatures, though even she finds claims made in a book on the Bermuda Triangle to be outlandish and realizes that the generic daily horoscopes in newspapers are rubbish. While she has a strong interest in unusual magical flora and fauna and doesn't even mind Bubotubers, she still finds Mandrakes unpleasant like everyone else does (with the exception of Neville, who excels at Herbology). She's visibly shocked that Lockhart's first quiz consists entirely of questions about himself that don't have anything to do with Defence Against the Dark Arts, losing her typical aloofness and outright calling it a mockery. She's also horrified by Lockhart's Valentine's Day decorations, which traumatize her so much that seeing Madam Puddifoot's a few months later causes her to relapse. During the Gryffindor vs. Slytherin match in second year, Daphne and Millicent support Gryffindor rather than their own House because even Dudley doesn't approve of Malfoy's bribe to get on the team, despite the fact that his friends are now technically "against" him (with his blessing). When Harry lends Dudley his invisibility cloak to help him spy on Draco, Harry notes that, even at his worst, Dudley has never been a thief, justifying why he isn't worried that Dudley will steal the cloak. Dumbledore is explicitly noted as being a kind man unless someone truly earns his ire, with a cited example being Lockhart due to the sheer scale of his incompetence. Flourish and Blotts is willing to put up with the hassle of selling animated, biting books that need to be regularly stroked to prevent them from ripping each other apart. However, the bookstore flat out refused to stock up on books that were invisible. Even Hermione considers History of Magic to be a bit boring and repetitive. Moreover, she feels this way when the course is taught by Professor Rogers, who for all his faults is still agreed to be much less boring than Professor Binns was. Rita Skeeter is so infamous for writing lie-filled stories that she's been virtually blacklisted by most newspapers, including The Daily Prophet, which is far from a paragon of journalistic integrity. This is more out of pragmatism, however, as it's mentioned that Rita has racked up numerous costly lawsuits with her libel. Likewise, Xenophilius regularly publishes bizarre conspiracy theories and wild guesses in The Quibbler, but even he would never touch Rita's articles. Conservative members of MI-X originally sympathized with some of the British Ministry's stances, particularly those towards non-human species. However, over time, even they grew disgusted by the growing fascism and Fantastic Racism in the Ministry. Ravenclaws pride themselves on their intelligence, but many of them still get sick and tired of always having to solve a riddle just to enter their dorm. Durmstrang Institute is very controversial due to its refusal to admit Muggle-borns and inclusion of the Dark Arts in its curriculum. Parents who are fine with these policies withdrawing their children from the school due to Igor Karkaroff being the headmaster thus speaks volumes about how unpleasant a person he is. Pansy Parkinson's a cruel bully, but even she sees Witch Weekly as a gossip rag full of useless drivel that's beneath her. No one, not even Malfoy's fellow bigots, cheers when Malfoy catches the Snitch in the Gryffindor-Slytherin Quidditch game after he kicks Ginny in the face and throws her off her broom. In fact, for most of the game, the other Slytherin players spent a good time helping their Gryffindor counterparts after Malfoy fouls them. Argus Filch, who had claimed to want corporal punishment to be reestablished, loses any taste of it when Umbridge has Fred and George brutally beaten.

Hypocritical Humor: When Pansy accidentally sees Millicent and Dudley snogging and being sappy, she acts disgusted with the idea - when she's all too happy to indulge in the same kind of behavior with Draco. And gets riled up enough to do so after that. Bellatrix criticizes Draco and Pansy for their lack of subtlety. Voldemort mentally notes that Bellatrix shouldn't complain about that. Ron gets angry with Harry and Ginny for making out half-naked in a place as public as the Quidditch locker room. Hermione distracts him from his funk by dragging him to an empty classroom and making out with him there.

What If?
 The Chosen Six (Fanfic) / int_bad22526
comment
What If?: Several. Sirius's decision at that fateful night to stay with Harry causes a whole cascade effect of changes. Additionally, his presence has a profound effect on Dumbledore, as Sirius's harsh words make him question his own decisions. One as of yet unknown event in the past caused the British government to be much more proactive concerning the magical world, instead of being effectively helpless. Dumbledore, at one point, bothers to ask Moaning Myrtle about the circumstances of her death, giving him the means to exonerate Hagrid, get Hagrid's wand rights restored, and allow everyone to be better informed when the Chamber is opened a second time. It also results in Myrtle taking a level in kindness, leading to her attending Halloween feasts. As a result, Mrs. Norris doesn't get Petrified from seeing the Basilisk's reflection in the water on the floor, as Myrtle was entertaining students at the feast instead of flooding her bathroom, making Colin Creevey the Basilisk's first victim instead after the Chamber is opened again. Due to Sirius being free when Walburga Black dies, he officially becomes the Head of the House of Black, which in turn has many further effects, like Andromeda Tonks regaining the birthright that had been taken from her. Harry's run-in with a rogue Dementor at age 9 results in Voldemort's soul fragment in Harry's head being destroyed. Dumbledore is aware of it, so the need for Harry to essentially become a Tyke Bomb is now gone. The same run-in also includes Dudley, which not only results in him having his Heel Realization earlier, but also awakens his latent magical potential. Harry has a happy family life with Veronica and Thomas Evans and thus goes home over Christmas break his first year at Hogwarts, meaning he never got the opportunity to discover the Mirror of Erised. Conversely, Dudley spends the same Christmas break at Hogwarts due to his parents being uncomfortable with his magic and ends up coming across said mirror while exploring the castle with Millicent Bulstrode. Ginny and Luna join Hogwarts a year sooner after the Sorting Hat notices their connection to the others and enforces their presence. While Gryffindor still loses the match against Ravenclaw in Harry's first year, Ginny's presence as a substitute Seeker lets the team achieve a better result that ends with Gryffindor winning the Quidditch tournament. At the beginning of second year, the Weasleys meet up with the Grangers, Evanses, and Lovegoods at King's Cross with plenty of time to spare before the Hogwarts Express leaves instead of at the last minute. Thus, when Dobby seals up the passage when Harry tries to enter the platform, dozens of students behind him are also unable to board the train. The scope of the problem leads to the Ministry being involved and the public floos being used to ferry the students over to the platform, a time-consuming process that requires delaying the train's departure, which hadn't been done since a German V-1 destroyed the tracks in 1944. Moreover, since repairing the barrier takes time and can't be done discreetly in a busy station, Fudge goes to Prime Minister John Major and demands that he find a way to clear out King's Cross station for a couple hours so the Ministry of Magic can do so. Understandably, the British government is outraged by Fudge acting as if he has authority over them, not to mention his general lack of communication with and condescension towards them. This prompts John Major to triple MI-X's efforts regarding wizarding Britain. Thanks to Myrtle's testimony, soon after Colin gets Petrified, the entire school knows about the Basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets. As a result, when Draco summons a snake to attack Harry in Dueling Club, a huge panic ensues, and nobody other than Harry's friends notices him speaking Parseltongue. Since the rest of the school never learns Harry's a Parselmouth, they never turn on him for it or suspect him of being the heir (it helps that Myrtle's testimony had already identified Voldemort as the heir anyway). Harry in turn asks Dumbledore about his ability and learns he used to have a piece of Voldemort's soul inside him far earlier than in canon. Harry is less impulsive due to having a more pleasant upbringing and sees Remus and Sirius as role models, as they were both around while he was growing up. Thus, his Patronus winds up being a fox, which is a canine Patronus like Remus's and Sirius's, instead of a stag. With Percy's future ruined now that his face has been disfigured by Fenrir Greyback, he doesn't end up working at the Ministry after graduating from Hogwarts and thus will not turn his back on his family for his career. Voldemort decides to just kill Barty Crouch, Sr. when he invades the latter's home in Harry's third year rather than Imperius him. His death results in the Quidditch World Cup being seen as a disaster and thus further hurting Magical Britain's status among the international magical community, as Bagman was incapable of ensuring things run smoothly on his own. It also further disillusions Percy from authority figures, as Barty, Sr.'s various misdeeds get published in newspapers after word of his death gets out. Dudley befriending Millicent and Daphne results in the two them and Daphne's sister Astoria having a more antagonistic relationship with Malfoy and Pansy. Word of God states that this prevented Millicent from falling in line with the latter two and becoming the bully she was in canon, and that Astoria will not wind up with Malfoy as a result of her and her sister being frequent targets of his and Pansy's bullying. Sirius and Diane, both of whom are trained police officers, attend the World Cup with the Weasleys. Thus, when Ludo Bagman tries to entice the Weasley children into making bets about the outcome of the game, Sirius and Diane immediately recognize that he can't be trusted and call him out for trying to rope minors into gambling, forcing Ludo to back off. As a result, Fred and George don't end up getting swindled out of their life savings. Arthur even notes that he himself wouldn't have been able to call out Bagman if Sirius and Diane weren't present, as he still owes Bagman for getting his family Top Box tickets. Ron being involved with the Quidditch team much sooner makes him Gryffindor's Quidditch captain in fifth year. The prefects in Harry's year end up being different: in Gryffindor, Ron and Hermione's responsibilities mean that the prefect positions go to Harry and Ginny. In Slytherin, Draco and Pansy's disciplinary issues, along with the fact that Slughorn is Head of Slytherin, mean that the prefects end up being Blaise and Daphne (while Dudley is the most qualified male student, the fact that he is Muggleborn means it is still too much for the less tolerant Slytherins). Voldemort reveals he has returned in April by leading an attack on Diagon Alley and personally killing Mr. Fortescue, rather than being witnessed in June running away from the Ministry by the Minister. Since Cho Chang and Marietta Edgecombe do not join Dumbledore's Army (here instead called the Defenders of Hogwarts), they never get ratted out to Umbridge. Amelia Bones is chosen as Fudge's replacement instead of Scrimgeour, and survives the attack on her. Mr. Ollivander avoids getting kidnapped by Death Eaters, although he's forced to close shop. As he has greater self-confidence, Remus is more willing to pursue a relationship with Tonks, with them getting married a year earlier and her getting pregnant with Teddy sooner as well.

It's All About Me

It's All About Me: Cornelius Fudge embodies this mentality. A good description of Fudge's attitude when he "asks" the Prime Minister to find some way to close King's Cross just so that the Ministry can repair Dobby's damage to the barrier to Platform Nine and Three-Quarters, as he's basically demanding to shut down a major transport hub just to help a small group who don't even need to use it right away (Sirius later speculates that someone put Fudge up to it as a show of power). After Cedric's murder, Fudge doesn't even bother to acknowledge how painful it is for Cedric's parents to deal with it and instead warbles about how this will reflect on him as he goes to complain to Dumbledore. Gilderoy Lockhart immediately tries to set himself up as a "mentor" to Harry on how to better use his celebrity status, but it is clear he's just trying to boost his own popularity.

Happily Married: The parents and guardians of the Six fall under this trope—Thomas & Veronica Evans, Sirius & Diane Black, Arthur & Molly Weasley, Ian & Jean Granger, Xenophilius & Pandora Lovegood, and Frank & Alice Longbottom. Subverted in the case of the Dursleys—Petunia and Vernon. While they appear happily married at first, their marriage starts going downhill when Dudley's latent magic is awakened. During Year Four, Vernon goes to visit his sister for Christmas while leaving Petunia at home. The final straw comes in the aftermath of the Dementor attack when Vernon assaults Petunia, resulting in his arrest, imprisonment, divorce, and becoming a neighborhood pariah.

Blonde, Brunette, Redhead: For the female members of the Six, it's straightforward—Luna as the blonde, Hermione as the brunette, and Ginny as the redhead. However, the boys are a bit more complicated. While Harry and Ron are the canon brunet and redhead, respectively, Neville's hair color is never mentioned in-story (he is blond in the books and brunet in the films), though Word of God states that it depends on whatever the reader thinks best.

Zigzagged for Fenrir Greyback. It's brought up that one of his followers lost two fingers and spent a week recovering from his injuries because he approached Greyback while the latter was venting out his anger. On the other hand, when one member of Greyback's pack questions his recent tactics of organizing multiple random attacks, Greyback replies, "No questions are stupid" and explains that his goal was to draw attention away from his main target. Moreover, when discussing his plans for an attack on Hogwarts, he's upfront about how most of them will die, gives everyone a chance to back out, and feels genuine pride when none of them do. Ultimately Subverted once he eventually gloats about the tightening of laws against werewolves furthering their radicalization, as well as him having no care for the cost.

Horrible Judge of Character: Rufus Scrimgeour sees himself as this once he realizes Umbridge is not an honest Ministry official like he'd thought after she starts pushing various anti-werewolf laws, which only makes things harder for him and his department. He also reflects that he would be a terrible politician because of this, implying he will refuse the Minister of Magic position in the future, with the position instead being given to Amelia Bones. Percy also seems think of himself as this to some degree, as after Barty Crouch, Sr.'s death, Percy remarks that the man was not who Percy had imagined he was.

Internal Reveal: MI-X reveals its existence to the Chosen Six and their families in order to recruit them to prepare for the moment they must start working. Madam Bones learns that the non-magical government has sources into what's going on in magical Britain. Dumbledore shares his knowledge on Voldemort's past and Horcruxes with the Six, McGonagall, Sirius, and Remus. This allows Harry to identify the ring Voldemort is wearing as a Horcrux, while Sirius remembers Slytherin's locket is kept in Grimmauld Place. This leads into Kreacher revealing how Regulus died, and, after the destruction of the Locket Horcrux, Albus' own reveal of his past, including his friendship with Grindelwald and Ariana's death. Draco and Pansy learn Harry and Dudley are cousins in their sixth year by pure chance.

Heteronormative Crusader: This actually is turned against the elder Dursleys. When Sirius and Remus move into the house next to them, the Dursleys are wrongly convinced that these two are gay (after all it's the early 80s), but can't do anything against it, since they are afraid of wizards.

Because of their Adaptational Karma, Rita Skeeter and Ludo Bagman are among the prisoners who got their souls offered to the dementors by Voldemort after he took over Azkaban to free his imprisoned followers.

Death of a Thousand Cuts: How the tabloids smearing the Six and other students are dealt with. Fines for libel are capped, meaning that said tabloids can easily pay them and still get a large profit - but multiple people simultaneously suing in separate lawsuits leads to the tabloids (and Rita Skeeter) being forced to pay large piles of fines they can ill afford.

Dudley befriending Millicent and Daphne results in the two them and Daphne's sister Astoria having a more antagonistic relationship with Malfoy and Pansy. Word of God states that this prevented Millicent from falling in line with the latter two and becoming the bully she was in canon, and that Astoria will not wind up with Malfoy as a result of her and her sister being frequent targets of his and Pansy's bullying.

Upon learning that Hagrid is secretly raising a dragon in his hut, Draco decides to give the dragon time to grow before turning Hagrid in, so as to have Hagrid get in bigger trouble. However, he didn't account for the Six helping Hagrid smuggle the dragon out of the school before then. As a result, by the time he reports Hagrid to a teacher, the dragon (and all evidence of its presence) is long gone, and Draco is punished for "lying" about a faculty member.

In Spite of a Nail: Sirius never gets sent to Azkaban, and Dumbledore decides against sending Harry to the Dursleys. Despite this, Harry still goes to live with maternal relatives in pretty much the same neighborhood as Privet Drive. As a result, he still grows up in Little Whinging, goes to primary school with Dudley, spends his formative years as Dudley's gang's favorite victim, and fails to make good friends with any of his classmates during that time as a result. Prior to Harry attending Hogwarts, Dumbledore introduces various reforms, including helping Professor Binns pass on and hiring Professor Rogers as the new History of Magic teacher. Students tend to find the course boring all the same. Despite Myrtle's testimony exonerating Hagrid and identifying the monster in Chamber of Secrets as a Basilisk, the Chamber remains undiscovered until Harry's second year, as no one thinks to bring a Parselmouth to examine the bathroom Myrtle was killed in. Additionally, while Dumbledore reveals Voldemort's real name and half-blood heritage before the court, the public remains largely unaware of the truth due to newspapers being too afraid to publish it. Harry isn't present when the Dursleys visit the zoo for Dudley's eleventh birthday, but accidental magic is still used during the trip to get revenge on a bully. Specifically, Dudley himself uses his magic to trap his former friend Piers Polkiss in the monkey exhibit, as the latter purposely pretended to still be Dudley's friend to enjoy a free trip to the zoo while giving Dudley a hard time. Despite being much better at flying due to having practiced at Remus's magical preschool, Neville still has trouble controlling his broomstick during his first lesson at Hogwarts and ends up losing his Remembrall in the process. Here, however, Madam Hooch reassures him that it was caused solely by faulty school equipment and that he did nothing wrong. Neville doesn't leave his Remembrall lying around on the Quidditch pitch, but Draco still ends up stealing and then flying around with it; Pansy Parkinson just snatches it right out of Harry's hand and then tosses it to Draco. Related to the above, Harry still becomes the Gryffindor Seeker after one of the teachers sees his natural talent at flying when he catches Neville's Remembrall. The difference here is that he catches it after it falls out of Neville's pocket when the latter was having trouble with his broomstick, whereas in canon, he catches it after Malfoy steals and drops it. Moreover, here, Harry insists on earning the position fairly by opening tryouts to all first years rather than just straight up accepting the offer. Harry goes home over Christmas break his first year at Hogwarts, yet the Mirror of Erised still winds up being discovered by students who decided to stay at Hogwarts over break, one of whom did so due to his troubled family life. Because they have trusted adults they can turn to here, Harry and his friends come up with a different plan for smuggling Norbert out of the school that won't involve any of them being out of bounds after curfew. Nevertheless, Draco still finds out about the dragon and gets into trouble after failing to convince a teacher of its existence, though his attempt to prove his accusation is naturally quite different. Harry doesn't fall into a coma after the incident with Quirrell but ends up sitting out the final Quidditch match anyway due to being heavily traumatized by the encounter. Additionally, Harry's idea to introduce reserve teams at the beginning of the year means Gryffindor actually goes up against Ravenclaw with a full seven-member team, yet Ravenclaw still wins the match due to loss of morale from Harry sitting the game out. Harry and Ron don't fly the latter's family's Ford Anglia to school their second year, though Harry still ends up having to help Lockhart with his fanmail during a detention he gets for a completely unrelated reason. When the Gryffindor Quidditch team notices one of the Bludgers has been tampered with to only go after Harry, they immediately inform Madam Hooch, who in turn quickly moves to stop the game. Before she can, though, Harry gets his arm broken by the Bludger anyway while trying to catch the Snitch. Despite it happening sooner and there being other reasons for him to flee the castle, Lockhart still has his memory wiped from a backfired Memory Charm when he attempts to Obliviate Harry, Ron, Dudley, and Neville, unaware the four knew a powerful shield spell. Although the circumstances were vastly different, Ginny still ends up in the Chamber of Secrets, even though she wasn't possessed by Riddle and did not have the diary; instead, she was kidnapped as part of a plan to trap Harry. Harry still ends up facing Riddle in the Chamber without any adults despite sending Neville to go tell Dumbledore where the entrance was after discovering it, as Riddle seals the gate before any of the teachers can get inside. Harry doesn't put a sock in Riddle's Diary when confronting Lucius, but Dobby still ends up being freed by Lucius afterwards. Though he lives with a loving family and thus has no reason to run away from home, Harry still takes the Knight Bus to Diagon Alley the summer before his third year, with Sirius, Diane, and Mark all accompanying him as he shops for school supplies. Sirius obviously doesn't break out of Azkaban in Harry's third year. Nevertheless, Fudge still comes up with the idea to send Dementors to guard Hogwarts that year, though to protect the school from Fenrir Greyback's pack instead. Additionally, here, the idea is quickly dismissed before it can be implemented. Although Hagrid is a more experienced teacher who starts out with smaller animals, Malfoy is still attacked during his first Care of Magical Creatures class because he ignored Hagrid's instructions, except this time he's attacked by a Niffler seeking the shiny pocket watch he didn't hand over rather than an angry Hippogriff. Moreover, like in canon, Hagrid later ends up in court due to Draco getting attacked in class by a creature he insulted after ignoring Hagrid's explicit warnings against doing so. Here, however, Hagrid easily wins his case due to being represented by a professional barrister and to the creature being a Kneazle instead of a Hippogriff. There aren't any Dementors occupying the Hogwarts grounds in Harry's third year. Nevertheless, many of the canonical events in third year involving them still happen, albeit with minor changes: Harry doesn't faint during his first Quidditch match in his third year due to Dementors not swarming the pitch during the game. He still falls and has his Nimbus 2000 destroyed due to Malfoy ramming into him while they were trying to catch the Snitch. Slytherin students still try to sabotage the Gryffindor Quidditch team during their game against Ravenclaw by dressing up as monsters to scare them; they just disguise themselves as werewolves instead. Despite the absence of Dementors, Harry still takes Patronus lessons with Remus in his third year, though it's instead mainly to learn how they can be used to send messages. He also succeeds in casting a corporeal Patronus for the first time when he has to protect himself and a loved one as they are surrounded by dark creatures, though his loved one is Ginny instead of Sirius, and the creatures are Fenrir and his pack instead of a swarm of Dementors. Gabrielle isn't used as a hostage for the Second Task, but Fleur ends up befriending Harry's group anyway after they defend her from bullies during the World Cup. Harry and his friends still become the targets of a smear campaign by Rita Skeeter in his fourth year, even though Harry isn't one of the Triwizard Champions and Rita didn't set foot inside Hogwarts or speak to any of them the entire year. Voldemort doesn't kidnap Harry, but he still uses the same ritual as in canon to recover his body, the only difference being that he sends Pettigrew to stun Harry and use a syringe to withdraw some of the latter's blood out. Harry and his friends never went out of bounds after curfew in their first year and thus were never sent into the Forbidden Forest to look for unicorns that were turning up dead that year. Nevertheless, in his fourth year, he ends up meeting Firenze and then Bane in the Forbidden Forest after the former saves him, just like in Harry's canonical first year; they even bring up how Mars is bright in conversation. In spite of all the changes, Cedric Diggory is still murdered during the Third Task. And Fudge still downplays the attack in spite of the blatant proof that Voldemort is behind it. Voldemort also ends up using the school students as hostages to force Harry to give himself up, but instead of doing it at the end of his seventh year, he does it by attacking the Hogwarts Train on its way to London after Harry's fourth year. Umbridge still sends Dementors to Little Whinging. Here, it is to attempt to get Sirius in trouble or killed, instead of Harry - although Harry also ends up getting in the same situation as in canon as collateral. It happens a year later, but Harry does end in a duel with Voldemort, surrounded by Death Eaters, and escapes thanks to the Priori Incantatem effect. Voldemort also takes Lucius Malfoy's wand as part of his plan to circumvent this issue. During the Diagon Alley visit in their sixth year, Harry still follows Draco to Knockturn Alley and discovers he's plotting something.

Hoist by His Own Petard: Walburga Black's paranoid attempts to keep intruders out of her house, including disconnecting it from the Floo network and adding wards that make the furniture block people's way, end up causing her death when they prevent Healers from reaching her on time after she experiences a heart attack. The Head Healer even notes that they might've been able to revive her had they not been delayed so much. Draco and Pansy's attempts to bully the Six, such as stealing and flying off with Neville's Remembrall as well as their antics during Dueling Club, often end up getting themselves in serious trouble. Draco discovers that Hagrid is hiding a dragon in his hut and decides to wait before reporting it, hoping to give the dragon time to grow and create even more trouble for Hagrid when it's found. Unfortunately for Draco, this ends up giving Hagrid enough time to smuggle the dragon out of Hogwarts and dispose of any remaining evidence in his home, leading to Draco being punished for "lying" about a faculty member. In their game against Gryffindor, the Slytherin Quidditch team uses the new Nimbus 2001 brooms that Draco donated, which is said to be the fastest non-professional broom model on the market. This ends up backfiring on them when it turns out the brooms aren't good for any position other than Seeker and thus handicaps instead of helps the rest of the team. Dumbledore allows Lockhart to get away with such bad ideas as his planned Valentine's Day celebrations with the goal of basically ruining Lockhart's public reputation so that he'll expose himself as a fraud. Pansy sneaks away from her class to cause trouble for Hermione, Luna, and Ginny and ends up getting Petrified along with the former two. The Basilisk is seriously injured when Harry uses Protego Maxima to reflect its own gaze back on itself; while the creature is immune to the fatal effects of its own stare, the spell creates a "feedback loop" that destroys its eyes. Lucius's plot to get Dumbledore sacked not only fails but results in Lucius being voted off the Hogwarts Board of Governors. Moreover, he also loses his house-elf Dobby (albeit because he freed him after learning Dobby tipped off Harry) and has to give his angry wife an explanation for his involvement in the scandal, all while Dumbledore emerges from it as a hero. Draco's attempt to get Hagrid fired via a Wounded Gazelle Gambit explodes in his face, as not only do he and his friend Pansy get a demerit for not returning to class after seeing Madam Pomfrey for the minor scratches he got, but in the subsequent trial over Hagrid's competence, it only takes an hour for the barrister to prove Draco got injured because of his own stupidity. Following the trial, Draco's father also pulls him aside and scolds him for coming up with such an ill-conceived plan. The punk werewolf that attacks Sirius dies when she pushes him off her while he's in his Padfoot form and biting into her neck, tearing her throat as she does. Vernon finds himself facing loss of benefits at work because of health regulations he imposed, as he's currently so fat that he needs to lose weight or else risk losing his insurance. After learning how the growing numbers of Muggle-born students will eventually make them the majority in Hogwarts, Harry points out the irony that the fanatic pure-bloods who joined Voldemort to preserve magical society as they saw it only accelerated its changing. Dumbledore attempts to gain some leads on Voldemort's Horcruxes by visiting Little Hangleton and speaking with Frank Bryce. Unfortunately, Pettigrew ends up overhearing the conversation, leading to Voldemort realizing that Dumbledore has discovered his greatest secret. Voldemort then retrieves Morfin's ring from the Gaunt Shack and wears it on his finger at all times, making it near impossible for anyone to secretly steal and destroy the ring. Karkaroff realizes to his horror that his attempts to curry favor with Voldemort by killing Harry have only put him higher on the Dark Lord's hitlist, as Voldemort wants to kill Harry himself. Fudge pushes through the revival of the Triwizard Tournament despite protests from both Hogwarts and Beauxbatons, hoping the good publicity from the event will help him with reelection. Instead, his poor handling of the tournament and myopic attempts to bury any scandals about potential cheating and sabotage blows up in his face when the press learns about them anyway and they turn out to be even worse than imagined, tanking Fudge's reputation. In the summer before fifth year, Vernon attacks Dudley due to blaming him for the Dementor attack affecting Aunt Marge and actually injures Petunia in the process, but Sirius, who is a trained Police Constable, happens to be nearby and defends Dudley. In spite of being warned, Vernon picks a fight with Sirius, leading to him getting arrested.

What the Hell, Hero?
 The Chosen Six (Fanfic) / int_d39e327f
comment
What the Hell, Hero?: Sirius gives this to Dumbledore concerning his plans to send Harry to the Dursleys. His words have some positive consequences as well. Dora receives a minor one when she asks if they are now rich after learning her mother's disinheritance and disownment have been reversed, with Dora's parents making it clear that such a question was extremely insensitive, given Andromeda was already mourning her father's death and is now overwhelmed by this news. Algernon Longbottom receives this response followed by a swift banishment from his nephew Frank after the former nearly kills Neville while trying to force magic out of him and basically admits it was because he felt the risk was preferable over Neville being a squib. After Harry's teacher's wig suddenly turns blue in the middle of class, the school has each student stay behind after school with their parents and guardians so that the headmaster can speak with them to clear up the situation. When it's Harry's turn, Veronica calls out the headmaster for overreacting to the situation and points out how ridiculous it is to think that one of the eight-year-old students in the class turned the teacher's wig blue while it was on the teacher's head and without anyone noticing. To be fair, Harry was in fact the culprit and turned the wig blue with his accidental magic, but as the school isn't aware of magic, they had no plausible reason to suspect one of the students did it. Sirius and Molly give Dumbledore separate ones when they learn he hid the Philosopher's Stone inside Hogwarts, though they mostly calm down after Dumbledore explains that there weren't any better options. Lockhart gets this from the Gryffindors and Madam Pomfrey after he accidentally vanishes the bones in Harry's arm. Of course, he's only a "hero" in the sense that he isn't allies with Voldemort. Downplayed after Harry, Ron, and Dudley run headfirst into the Chamber of Secrets without waiting for the teachers. The adults do gently scold them for their near-suicidal actions, but also assure them that they understand why the trio did what they did, and decide to hold off on punishments until the kids have had time to recover from the ordeal. While the extent to which Fudge is a "hero" can be debated, he's at least ostensibly on the right side when he suggests posting Dementors as guards around Hogwarts, only for Dumbledore, Augusta Longbottom, and Lucius Malfoy to tell him that such an idea is too risky. Similar to Lockhart and Fudge, Ludo isn't exactly a "hero", but Sirius and Diane nonetheless call him out for inviting underage children to gamble with him on the outcome of the World Cup finals, partly because they rightfully suspect he doesn't intend to uphold his side of the deal.

Adaptational Wimp: Downplayed. Canonically, it's never shown that Dementors can be killed, and the only known defense against them is the Patronus Charm. Here, the Patronus Charm is among a handful of ways Dementors can be killed, though they are otherwise just as dangerous. In canon, Harry was able to resist Voldemort's Imperius curse thanks to Barty Crouch Jr. putting him through it at class. Here, when Voldemort orders him to kneel and kiss his ring, he almost does it before he pulls himself out of it.

Hypocrite: After his first year at Hogwarts, Dudley muses that Petunia's attitude towards feeding him makes little sense, as she goes to so much trouble to keep herself thin but fixates on feeding him and Vernon to the point of them both being overweight. Draco mocks the Six and the entire Weasley family for being charity cases who didn't even buy their own Top Box tickets, even though Draco's family didn't buy their tickets either and instead attend the World Cup as Fudge's guests. When the centaurs begin to read in the stars that their aid to the people of Hogwarts will be fundamental in stopping the dark, some of them (the ones that are most into You Can't Fight Fate, incidentally) decide that anyone following what the stars say will be marked for death. For all that goblins complain of being the victims of Fantastic Racism, they regularly engage in being racist towards anyone that isn't a goblin themselves and completely refuse to adapt to the world outside themselves.

Screw the Rules, I Have Connections!: Defied for Draco in particular: After he destroys Neville's Remembrall, he is banned from subsequent Quidditch tryouts and given a particularly unpleasant Punishment Detail. He had expected his parents to take his side, but they instead tell him the incident was his own fault, with his father adding he expected more subtlety. Draco attempts to invoke this trope again by namedropping his father to intimidate Moody, who responds by making it clear he isn't afraid of Lucius one bit. By contrast, Harry and his friends reject the idea that they should get special treatment, to the extent that Harry insists on taking part in actual Quidditch tryouts rather than just getting a position because he shows some talent for the game. Played straight when Sirius uses his influence to expedite the process of removing Harry's warning for illegal use of underage magic from the latter's files. It's a rather justified example, though, seeing as the Ministry is stated to be extremely corrupt, and their incompetence resulted in Harry receiving a warning for something he didn't do without even getting a chance to explain himself first. When Umbridge establishes the Inquisitorial Squad, all of its members delight in being granted what amounts to complete immunity to start openly bullying everyone they dislike while the teachers are unable to do anything. Then, for the Gryffindor-Slytherin Quidditch match, Malfoy has Umbridge give him carte blanche to commit as many fouls as he wants without reprisal.

Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Sirius pulls one is regards to the magical world. He's so disgusted and disappointed with it that he publicly leaves it behind, though he knows that it won't be forever. As mentioned in The Immodest Orgasm and Let Us Never Speak of This Again, when two bobbies responding to a noise complaint realize it's from two of their coworkers, Sirius and Diane, having sex, they leave without even knocking on the door and plan to write it off as a false alarm. Many cases of this involving Lockhart: When Lockhart lets loose a cageful of Cornish Pixies in class, the Six immediately head for the door, having already packed their belongings due to suspecting that things would go wrong because of Lockhart's incompetence. Their classmates soon follow suit, leaving Lockhart to deal with the Cornish Pixies himself. After botching his attempt to heal Harry's arm and mutilating it instead, Lockhart runs off rather than face the angered Gryffindors. He tries to flee the school after his carelessness results in a Basilisk attack and multiple students getting Petrified and kidnapped. After repeatedly getting stonewalled by the British Ministry when they try to pull Stefan out of Hogwarts, the Schusters are finally prompted by Fenrir Greyback's werewolf attacks to leave the UK and move back to Germany, regardless of what the Ministry says. Unfortunately, they are only able to leave after Stefan is infected with lycanthropy. Related to this, many parents also pull their children out of Hogwarts after Fenrir Greyback's attack. Draco and Pansy originally signed up for Care of Magical Creatures out of a combination of laziness and a desire to humiliate Hagrid. The two drop the course the following year after Draco's attempt to get Hagrid in trouble backfires. Karkaroff flees Hogwarts after Moody nearly captures him while he is wandless. He still ends up captured by MI-X while he's mid-flight to escape Britain.

Wins by Doing Absolutely Nothing
 The Chosen Six (Fanfic) / int_d9f97805
comment
Wins by Doing Absolutely Nothing: Sirius and Remus are a constant thorn in the side of the Dursleys... by simply moving in next door. They don't have to do anything else, since Vernon's and Petunia's bigotry backfiring on them, due to being too afraid to take steps against wizards, gives the Dursleys a constant self-inflicted punishment. Diane soon invokes the scorn and hate of Petunia simply by being a better wife, mother, neighbor, and overall person than she is. Draco and Pansy are continuously punished for their bullying antics, yet most of the time it is their own arrogance and stubbornness that dooms them.

False Confession: At one point during the First Wizarding War, another werewolf started claiming to be Fenrir Greyback when making his kills; Greyback was so outraged at his impostor that he hunted the other werewolf down and then sent his head to The Daily Prophet with a note telling them to check their facts.

Pointy-Haired Boss: Much like in canon, Cornelius Fudge is this in all his "glory": incompetent, biased, corrupt, and more are the marks of his governance. Same with Ludo Bagman, whom the author deconstructs to show how political appointments based on popularity aren't usually good ideas: without Bartemius Crouch Sr.'s help to shore up the problems, his organization of the Quidditch World Cup is quite bad, and his utter lack of care for Bertha Jorkins even though she has been missing for seven months further shows how out of his depth he is.

Male Gaze: Harry catches himself taking a look at Ginny's butt during their fourth year.

She does it again at the beginning of fifth year by sitting so he can take a good look at her while she reads.

Played with regarding Fudge. As a Slave to PR, he often refuses to act on suspicious events to avoid creating a scandal that would draw the attention of the press, knowing it may hurt his reputation. Nevertheless, he's somehow convinced that any publicity is good when it comes to Harry Potter, including when the latter is being criticized for being a reckless teenager.

Cruel Mercy: The Inquisitorial Squad members are allowed to continue attending Hogwarts after Umbridge is sacked, but the other students make sure that their last two months become very unpleasant. Snape regards the teachers' decision to let Draco and Pansy plot without being arrested as this, as their continued failures only make the couple more terrified of Voldemort's reaction and likely to do something stupidly dangerous before they can foil it. In his opinion, they should just arrest them both and put an end to their suffering.

As an adult and particularly after becoming a constable, Sirius realizes that he went overboard with many of his antics in school with his fellow Marauders and explicitly tells Harry to not be like his teenage self when Harry leaves for Hogwarts. He also feels slightly awkward when Fred and George tell him his teenage self is one of their role models.

O.O.C. Is Serious Business: When Dumbledore catches wind of Harry and Dudley being attacked by a Dementor, it's noted by McGonagall that he's uncharacteristically freaking out. Luna dropping her typical indifference is often a sign of how serious a situation is. Instances include Malfoy bullying Neville; the troll attack on Halloween; facing Voldemort and the prospect of him reviving himself; and Lockhart's first quiz and over-the-top Valentine's Day decorations. Lockhart's Valentine's Day decorations of the Great Hall are so disgusting that even Ron basically loses his appetite after seeing the scale of the subsequent display. When Voldemort learns that Dumbledore has already removed the prophecy and replaced it with a fake, he's so enraged that he actually has an outbreak of accidental magic that destroys some of the nearby prophecies.

Adaptation Species Change: Dora's Patronus is a chameleon. In canon, it was a jackrabbit that later changed into a wolf. Harry's Patronus takes the shape of a fox instead of a stag.

Blue-and-Orange Morality: Invoked when Harry and his friends discuss a Deathday Party with Nick, prompting Nick to realize that a party designed for the dead wouldn't really be of particular interest for the living. Taken even further when the Malfoys and Parkinsons show more objection to their children being punished for casting dangerous spells on Harry and Hermione, respectively, in second year than their "pranks" in first year, as they consider it acceptable to do something like that to a blood-traitor and a Muggle-born, but the early pranks were just careless displays of power. Centaurs strongly believe that You Can't Fight Fate and are firmly against even trying. Harry notes how depressing the thought is, and even Firenze personally feels such absolute thinking is unhealthy.

Exact Words: Walburga Black orders Kreacher to "get help" when she experiences a heart attack. Since Kreacher is required to obey his masters' orders, he's forced to try and bring healers from St. Mungo's inside the house past all the wards meant to keep intruders out instead of just taking Walburga to St. Mungo's. By the time they finally reach her, it's too late for them to revive her. On Halloween, Lee distracts Umbridge by sending an anonymous note to her about a party with alcohol that's going to take place in the dungeons. There's a party, alright... Sir Nicholas' Death-Day Party. After Lucius Malfoy is arrested, Voldemort edits out his words to make Draco think his father got captured in the fight, instead of because Voldemort torturing him, taking his wand and leaving him to the Aurors.

Voldemort's attempt to murder Harry by attacking the train fails because (a) the link between Harry and his friends produces a shield that deflects an Avada Kedavra, giving the teens a chance to run, and (b) Harry was able to call Sirius on his mirror, allowing him to raise the alarm. Both factors result in two groups of wizards arriving just in time to force Voldemort to retreat.

comment
Rules Lawyer: Dumbledore discusses this idea with some of the Hogwarts house-elves regarding why Kreacher's uniform doesn't qualify as him having received clothes. He explains that there is a complex grey area regarding when an item qualifies as clothing or just an object, including details such as the fact that Kreacher made his uniform himself rather than being given it. After Harry insists that he not be singled out as the only first-year allowed to try out for a House team, Dumbledore agrees to a revised interpretation of the rules that permits first-years to try out for a team and then receive a broomstick while still accommodating the rules against first-years having their own without a position on their House's Quidditch team. Harry notes to his friends that while their Hogwarts letters required them to get evening wear and dress robes are the only kind of evening wear that exist in the wizarding world, the letter itself did not specify that they had to get dress robes, and that there are other forms of evening wear, even if the magical world isn't familiar with them. It's even implied that Dumbledore purposely worded the letter this way in the hopes of invoking this trope. Hermione wonders how Fleur was allowed to have Bill as her partner for the Yule Ball when the latter isn't a student of any of the three schools participating in the Triwizard Tournament. Neville suggests that since Bill was eligible to attend anyway due to his role in organizing the tasks, Fleur was allowed to invite him as her partner.

Spotting the Thread
 The Chosen Six (Fanfic) / int_ec0ce986
comment
Spotting the Thread: Invoked when Harry and the others overhear Malfoy talking about escaping Muggles on helicopters; everyone in Harry's group questions whether such stories are true, because they doubt that Malfoy's even seen a helicopter, considering that Ron has had more exposure to Muggle culture and had to be explicitly told what one was. Neville also points out how if it were true, Draco would've been in huge trouble for it, and his father would've had to pay a large fine, neither of which Draco would risk bringing up. Draco notices how many first year Muggle-borns seemingly don't have any trouble flying on a broom, even though they should've only recently been introduced to wizarding culture and thus magical broomsticks, and correctly surmises that they received training before Hogwarts. He later writes to his parents about this, as well as the fact that many first and second years seem to recognize Remus, leading to Lucius learning about Remus's secret magical preschool. When Quirrell Imperiuses a student and runs into the Six as he is heading toward the third-floor corridor, the latter group quickly notices that said student is acting strangely. Quirrell tries to cover for himself by claiming he needs to take the student to see Madam Pomfrey, only for Luna to point out the two of them are walking in the opposite direction of where the Hospital Wing is. Invoked by Dumbledore when he tasks Remus with investigating Lockhart's books. Remus notes that some of the claims, namely the one where Lockhart allegedly fought a werewolf barehanded and zapped it back to human form, are so outlandish that they're clearly made up. Even the realistic-sounding feats are doubtful, since the timelines don't add up, and Lockhart would need to have mastered an impossibly broad range of magic to perform them all. The Six realize Karkaroff was behind the Grand Staircase nearly throwing Harry to his death, since advanced magic like that is beyond the abilities of any student, and Karkaroff was the only adult present on Hogwarts school grounds at the time who would have a motive to hurt Harry. They also deduce that Draco and Pansy are the ones feeding libel about them to Rita Skeeter, as they're the only ones in the school who would resort to such methods and have a sufficient grudge to do so. After Pettigrew tries to disguise his attack on Harry as a failed robbery attempt, Dumbledore and Sirius can easily tell that the facts don't fit, because the thief would have had ample time to take Harry's and Ginny's pouches, but only sliced Harry's pouch.

Daphne also notes that her family weren't held in particularly high esteem during the First Wizarding War just because of their choice of neutrality and only did as well as they've done post-war because the conflict ended before anyone could put serious pressure on the Greengrasses to pick a side.

Evil Cannot Comprehend Good

Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: While it may be a bit extreme to consider Petunia "evil", it is explicitly noted that she never realized that Lily didn't consider herself "better" than Petunia just because she and her son were magical and Petunia and Dudley weren't, to the extent that Petunia regards Dudley having magic as a sign that she's "beaten" her sister. Although Barty Crouch Junior is still a loyal Death Eater, he asks Voldemort for permission to retrieve his mother's corpse from Azkaban and bury it somewhere else. While Voldemort allows this request, he privately muses that he doesn't understand why that matters to Crouch, affirming his greater ruthlessness and lack of empathy even to his own followers. Umbridge's various efforts to establish her authority over the students continually fall apart because she doesn't understand what motivates her enemies. When she gives the Inquisitorial Squad the power to inflict corporal punishment on other students, she assumed that this would intimidate her opponents into giving up, but this actually provokes more active opposition to her, to the extent that even the likes of Argus Filch object to her new policies and feel that she's going too far. Voldemort's utter lack of comprehension of house elves leads to the destruction of one of his Horcruxes, as Kreacher survived what Voldemort expected would be a cruel death and led Regulus Black to the Horcrux, which later allowed the heroes to destroy it.

Unnecessary Roughness

When Umbridge establishes the Inquisitorial Squad, all of its members delight in being granted what amounts to complete immunity to start openly bullying everyone they dislike while the teachers are unable to do anything. Then, for the Gryffindor-Slytherin Quidditch match, Malfoy has Umbridge give him carte blanche to commit as many fouls as he wants without reprisal.

Beware the Nice Ones
 The Chosen Six (Fanfic) / int_fccd06b6
comment
Beware the Nice Ones: According to Theodore Nott, Slughorn is not someone a student would want to anger, so Draco might as well prepare for his own funeral if he intends to harm Dudley. Andromeda Tonks and Sirius Black are considered to be the White Sheep of the Black family, both being very kind and lacking the rest of the family's views about blood purity. However, anger either one of them enough, and they quickly show they have as much power and determination as any Black. Hermione even remarks how scary Andromeda can be when reading the latter's condemnation of the Hogwarts Board of Governors' decision to not purchase Mandrake extract to revive the Petrified students. Despite his typically easygoing nature, Dumbledore is capable of being utterly ruthless to those he feels deserves it, including Lockhart for wasting his students' time with his idiocy. Diane is normally very kind, but nobody who knows her dares cross her when she enters police-mode. She's also more than capable of putting bigots like the Malfoys in their place.

Brick Joke: After the Gryffindor-Slytherin Quidditch game in Harry's second year, none of the Slytherin players are happy with the brooms they got from Malfoy, deciding to return to their old brooms. Three years later, when Umbridge is finally sacked and Malfoy loses her protection, Dudley and Millicent return all the brooms to him, commenting on how they were just collecting dust.

Evil Is Petty
 The Chosen Six (Fanfic) / int_fe64d5a1
comment
Evil Is Petty: Skeeter writes particularly lurid articles on Fenrir Greyback's attack on Hogwarts to get back at Dumbledore for banning her from Hogwarts. She then writes similarly sensationalist articles about the Six, Dudley, Millicent, and Daphne, hoping to hurt both Dumbledore by defaming his students and the students for criticizing her for her poor journalism. Umbridge sells Sirius' personal information (his family and where he lives) to the newspapers as part of her plan to smear him. It's noted that Vernon Dursley intends to use the current court case against Petunia to ensure that she cannot afford to keep the house on Privet Drive, even though he would have no reason to keep it for himself as his actions have made him a pariah in the neighbourhood and he doesn't have the money to pay for the fines and bills. Half of what Umbridge does at Hogwarts is mostly about getting petty revenge for stuff that happened while she studied at Hogwarts. The bigoted Slytherins take advantage of Umbridge taking control of Hogwarts to get away with a level of bullying that would have likely seen them expelled if Umbridge wasn't covering their asses. Malfoy has Umbridge exempt him from any penalty for fouling at the Gryffindor-Slytherin Quidditch game, all so he can attack the Gryffindor players without reprisal - culminating in kicking Ginny in the face hard enough to break her nose and loosen her teeth and then throwing her off her broom. Ron notes that, with Umbridge in charge of the school, there is a decent probability that the Ministry could order that the Six be given failing grades on their OWLs irrespective of how they actually perform. Bellatrix gives Draco and Pansy a pendant with a curse that causes pregnant women to miscarry - so they will plant it on the door to Remus and Dora's room and make it affect her. Pansy destroys Myrtle's toilet due to her being traumatized by her punishment of having to clean a dirty girls' bathroom way back in Year One. Voldemort sets Draco and Pansy on what he knows is an impossible task just so he can enjoy their terror over failing to carry out his orders.

Pet the Dog: Sirius buys the Dursleys' house and allows Petunia to live there for a pittance of a rent, both so Dudley won't have to live in the only flat Petunia could rent and to show the woman she can be forgiven if she puts in the effort.

Shown Their Work: The author does work hard to incorporate real-life events believably into the story. He also always tries to make sure that real-life aspects are handled correctly. The effects of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 on the police are shown. Thatcher's bad mood with Fudge is also explained by the circumstances that would force her out of office a little later. It's correctly shown how John Major got into office, while in the books this was not the case. In general, important real-life events are correctly mentioned, as well as the various troubles John Major's government went through at the time. Considering these events took place 30 years ago, not an easy task. When the leading politicians meet in Chapter 38, the author took pains to make sure that all of them actually were in power at the date when the chapter takes place - one is even mentioned to have recently lost his real-life election. John Major's defeat in the 1997 General Election is also correctly portrayed, including his speech to announce his resignation, which also gives the title to the chapter.

There Are No Global Consequences: Averted, though kept at a reduced impact due to the main characters being so young. It appears the end of the Cold War will potentially impact the wizarding politics in Eastern Europe, and a short civil war in the Magical United States that caused a massacre of the political establishment and also drove British pure-bloods to flock towards Voldemort.
