comment
Does This Remind You of Anything?: In-universe; Anthony Goldstein and Colin Creevey compare Harry giving them Numbing Potions to join him on his Blood Quill tattoo scheme to a drug deal. Harry immediately refutes the claim as he's giving them the potions for free.

comment
Paranoia Gambit: Harry and Luna plot this in Chapter 23 while returning to Hogwarts after the Christmas holidays, to keep Umbridge on her toes and so that he can plot a proper comeback prank for later. In Luna's words, they're "pranking her by not pranking her".

Not the Intended Use
 Trolling the Toad (Fanfic) / int_20e20e99
comment
Not the Intended Use: Harry uses a spell intended to link objects together to make Umbridge's Blood Quills use her blood as ink instead of that of whoever's using them. After he casts the spell, he thinks that whoever wrote the book he got the spell from probably didn't think it would be used as an Attack Reflector.

Chekhov's Gun
 Trolling the Toad (Fanfic) / int_22cf536c
comment
Chekhov's Gun: In the very first chapter, Harry plans to get ahold of many more potions, including more Numbing Potions to nullify the pain brought on by the Blood Quill and some Veritaserum antidote in case Umbridge tries to spike his tea. He uses spare Numbing Potions to recruit other D.A. members in on his shenanigans, and the Veritaserum antidote eventually comes in handy in Chapter 13 when Umbridge tries to interrogate him over the whereabouts of his "liberated" Firebolt. Sirius gifts Harry the communication mirror directly in this continuity. Not only does Harry use this to keep Sirius updated on the events at Hogwarts, saving him a lot of trouble communicating, but him having the mirror on hand allows him to contact Sirius quickly to verify he's still alive and not captured by Voldemort at the end of the fic, ultimately leading to Sirius being Spared by the Adaptation.

Blood Magic
 Trolling the Toad (Fanfic) / int_270c1778
comment
Blood Magic: The fic establishes that it is generally banned in Wizarding Britain. The only exception is the Blood Quill, which can only be used for signing magical contracts and official documents, and should therefore be highly regulated. The fact that Umbridge uses them for something as petty as a school detention is a plot point for the final act in the story.

Sadist Teacher

comment
Sadist Teacher: Umbridge might possibly exceed canon in how horrible she is at being a teacher — apparently at one point, she made a First Year use a Blood Quill for asking questions about course material they didn't understand, because they wanted to do well in her class. Once she has cracked under the pressure, she excuses it as bringing back "proper discipline, just like in the old days".

Karmic Butt-Monkey: The entire point of the story is Umbridge being subjected to various pranks by Harry and several other Hogwarts students — it's even in the title. Of course, considering her status as a Sadist Teacher Hate Sink, it's hard to say it's not well-deserved.

comment
Due to the creation of "the Hogwarts Voice" following the Quibbler ban, Harry has become Properly Paranoid and tells Hermione to destroy the D.A. member list in case they get caught. Meanwhile, while the D.A. is betrayed and found out by Umbridge, unlike canon, Harry manages to think on his feet and make everything look innocent enough to not get Dumbledore ousted as Headmaster.

Noodle Incident
 Trolling the Toad (Fanfic) / int_3c0a4666
comment
Noodle Incident: In Chapter 7, the Weasley twins and Lee Jordan rope Harry into pulling "one of the biggest pranks [they've] ever pulled on any staff member" of Hogwarts by rearranging Umbridge's office for when she returns from St. Mungo's. George then brings up how they'd done something to Filch in their second year as an exception to the "one of the biggest pranks" claim, and the three refuse to elaborate to Harry on what exactly happened. According to Chapter 51, Seamus once tried to sneak rum into either his dorm or Hogwarts itself. Apparently, it's an inside joke between the fifth-year Gryffindor boys.

comment
Skewed Priorities: In Chapter 48, Harry muses that he doesn't want to be questioned about anything relating to "the Hogwarts Voice" or the prank war against Umbridge, not necessarily because he might get expelled or arrested, but rather because he wants to save the juicy details for his autobiography — both because he wants to be the one to spill it on his own terms, and in order to make it a Breather Episode between his less pleasant escapades over the years.

Glitter Litter: As Part 2 of a revenge prank against Slytherins for acting out of line at their last Quidditch match, the Weasley Twins have them covered in colourful glitter at breakfast in Chapter 16, in front of the entire school, with Harry commenting that glitter really does get everywhere. That being said, the Twins take precautions to ensure no glitter ends up in anyone's eyes or respiratory tract, not wanting to cause any lasting harm or get arrested.

comment
Bittersweet Ending: More on the sweet side than bitter; for one, Voldemort's return is made public and the Wizarding world is to descend into open warfare, but Umbridge has been arrested and judging by the author's commentary telling her to dream on, she no longer poses a threat to anyone, and Sirius is still alive, while Harry is in a more mentally sound position than in canon (though Ron and Hermione may beg to differ).

Would Hurt a Child: Umbridge with her Blood Quills, so much that she is willing to use them on first-year students, who can be as young as 11 years old, for doing something as innocent as asking her to clarify course material they didn't understand. She is also completely on board with sending minors to Azkaban, in spite of it being illegal.

Combat Pragmatist: Discussed in Chapter 28.

It is clearly meant to be an Unishment, no matter how seriously McGonagall acts about it.

On the other hand, Harry believes that going full-on Troll mode is the only thing keeping him sane at Hogwarts.

Lethal Harmless Powers: Harry teaches the D.A. to use "seemingly harmless spells" in duels in Chapter 25, citing a few examples: A well-placed trip jinx can cause one's opponent to fall off a cliff. A few tickling jinxes can cause a person to literally die of laughter from asphyxiation. A levitation charm gone wrong can crush an individual. A bubble-producing charm is usually used for cleaning, but can be used to trip another person over.

Big Brother Instinct: In Chapter 4, when Harry discusses his plans against Umbridge to the DA members who have also been subjected to the Blood Quill, Colin decides that he wants in immediately because Umbridge had apparently hinted that she might call Dennis, Colin's second-year (12-year-old) younger brother, in for detention as well. He even threatens to learn and use the Killing Curse, an illegal spell, on Umbridge himself if they don't stop her… to which Harry advises him to Do Wrong, Right instead as the Killing Curse only gives a painless death. While Angelina Johnson is usually seen as a stern Quidditch Captain, she still cares greatly for her (ex-)teammates, telling Harry that he should have said something about the Blood Quill detentions earlier (before he openly spread the word via the Hogwarts Voice) as she knew some healing magic and believes she could have helped if she knew.

The Power of Hate: More specifically, the power of spite motivates Harry to study hard and pass his OWLs with flying colours, to "rub it in the Ministry's faces that [he's] not a delusional, lazy, unintelligent waste of flesh and magic".

Lemony Narrator: The narrator has zero qualms taking potshots at Umbridge, from her hypocrisy to her Never My Fault attitude to her "sulking like a petulant child" when things don't go her way, and occasionally goes out of their way to interrupt Umbridge's own third-person limited narration to take these potshots.

While Harry still receives the vision of Voldemort torturing Sirius at the end of the story, due to Sirius directly giving him the communication mirror as a Christmas gift and the two using it regularly throughout the school year to keep in contact, he is quickly able to verify that Sirius is still alive. Additionally, since this occurs at Umbridge's public trial and sentencing, Neville, Hermione, Ginny, and Luna are quickly able to contact Dumbledore and the Order, so Sirius is Spared by the Adaptation and Voldemort's return is revealed to the public without additional casualties.

My Significance Sense Is Tingling: Starting from the end of Chapter 6, there's a Running Gag in the fic where Umbridge feels a chill down her spine whenever Harry is plotting or pulling a prank on her. This is briefly inverted in Chapter 17, as Harry's "Umbridge Suffering Detector" goes off when Umbridge chokes on and spills hot tea over her clothes.

Foreshadowing: In Chapter 3, Harry points out that using the Blood Quill in the way Umbridge is using it to torture minors is likely against the law. The next chapter, Anthony Goldstein confirms that they are illegal to use in this context, and she is arrested for child abuse by the end of the story. In Chapter 24, Harry's mental commentary discusses that if Umbridge's plan to get him expelled and/or arrested backfires and causes her to end up in Azkaban, the memory of her arrest would become fantastic Patronus fuel for him. It does backfire on Umbridge in the end.

Their Quidditch team and Umbridge also have hairstyle makeovers to go with this, and everyone is additionally covered in glitter the next morning at breakfast. It takes about three chapters for it to wear off, and even longer for despised Slytherins like Draco Malfoy and Umbridge.

Loophole Abuse: Alongside Exact Words, this is a tactic that Harry frequently uses against Umbridge.

When Umbridge makes a new Educational Decree mandating the use of language of instruction to complete one's assignments (to all the other students' confusion), Harry does a later assignment in Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe instead.

comment
What If?: What if Harry started pranking Umbridge in retaliation for her torment in Book 5? While there are certain In Spite of a Nail moments, things start to diverge from the canon timeline in the last third of the school year. Due to the creation of "the Hogwarts Voice" following the Quibbler ban, Harry has become Properly Paranoid and tells Hermione to destroy the D.A. member list in case they get caught. Meanwhile, while the D.A. is betrayed and found out by Umbridge, unlike canon, Harry manages to think on his feet and make everything look innocent enough to not get Dumbledore ousted as Headmaster. "The Hogwarts Voice"'s article on the Blood Quill detentions leads to an investigation resulting in Umbridge being arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban for child abuse, among other charges. While Harry still receives the vision of Voldemort torturing Sirius at the end of the story, due to Sirius directly giving him the communication mirror as a Christmas gift and the two using it regularly throughout the school year to keep in contact, he is quickly able to verify that Sirius is still alive. Additionally, since this occurs at Umbridge's public trial and sentencing, Neville, Hermione, Ginny, and Luna are quickly able to contact Dumbledore and the Order, so Sirius is Spared by the Adaptation and Voldemort's return is revealed to the public without additional casualties.

Shout-Out
 Trolling the Toad (Fanfic) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: In Chapter 7, Harry sings "Screamer" by Janet and Michael Jackson while redecorating Umbridge's office with the Weasley twins and Lee Jordan. In Chapter 18, Harry discusses pulling a Christmas-themed prank by taking inspiration from A Christmas Carol. In Chapter 20, Harry sings "All I Want for Christmas is You" by Mariah Carey on his way to lunch. Hermione resignedly requests for him to stop "massacring" the song by singing off-key.

The Power of Language
 Trolling the Toad (Fanfic) / int_cb14cb28
comment
The Power of Language: Throughout the latter half of the fic, the Hogwarts Voice newsletter has wreaked havoc on the Wizarding world by casting wariness on the Ministry's incompetence and interfering policies among students and parents alike, and has even succeeded in uniting Hogwarts students from different Houses with a common goal in pursuit of quality education. The story itself quotes the saying that "the pen is mightier than the sword" in regard to this.

Eating Contest: Harry and Ron discuss having one in Chapter 14. This later becomes a Brick Joke when the two actually have their contest off-page in Chapter 53, with Harry (barely) coming out on top.

In Spite of a Nail: Most of everything that happens before the Christmas holidays goes along with the canon timeline, including many of the literally torturous detentions, the establishment of the D.A, the Quidditch ban, Nagini's attack on Arthur Weasley, etc. The interview with Rita Skeeter and the subsequent Quibbler ban also happen, and D.A. still gets exposed, but the main alterations to the timeline occur after that. The author acknowledges this in their first author's note of the story.

Child Abuse Is a Special Kind of Evil
 Trolling the Toad (Fanfic) / int_d2918710
comment
Child Abuse Is a Special Kind of Evil: Although Umbridge is widely despised for her Fantastic Racism and all-round unpleasant nature, what causes magical Britain to turn the tide against her is her using Blood Quills on her students over trivial matters.

There Should Be a Law
 Trolling the Toad (Fanfic) / int_d4508136
comment
There Should Be a Law: A variant; in Chapter 3, Harry raises the point that using the Blood Quill on children likely constitutes torture, which makes them against the law in some capacity. Umbridge responds, "Laws can be changed." Harry immediately calls her out on the implications of her statement, that she meant she could have child torture legalized if she wanted to.

comment
Naughty Tentacles: Discussed in Chapter 28 while on the topic of Transfiguration in combat. Ron first jokes about turning a person's legs into tentacles, then Harry refutes it being a good idea in case the person is "into certain types of Muggle entertainment". When Hermione scolds him for bringing up something scandalous and "depraved", Harry comments that the fact she gets the reference at all is "a classic case of pot calling the kettle black".

Reasonable Authority Figure: The Department of Magical Law Enforcement (DMLE), headed by Amelia Bones, takes the allegations of Umbridge abusing children under her care at Hogwarts very seriously, and are extremely thorough in the investigation that follows.

Global Ignorance: In Chapter 5, Umbridge shows herself to not know where Hogwarts is located, despite the fact she's teaching there. That being said, other than showcasing her stupidity, it's equally likely that Harry is only making such a pedantic remark to humiliate and troll Umbridge further.

Mama Bear/Papa Wolf: The parents of the Hogwarts students are enraged upon hearing from the Hogwarts Voice newsletter that their children were being tortured in detention by Umbridge using the Blood Quill. It is invoked on the newsletter's part, wanting to sow doubt in the Ministry among the populace to rally a stronger stance against Voldemort.

comment
Deconstruction Fic: The last third of the fic deconstructs Umbridge's canonical Sadist Teacher behaviour, as when the students systematically compile and chronicle her acts of child abuse via her Blood Quills and send the evidence to the authorities, alongside getting the news out to the other professors and the public, Umbridge is subjected to a thorough investigation from law enforcement, arrested, removed from her positions, tried, and imprisoned for her acts of abuse.

Exact Words
 Trolling the Toad (Fanfic) / int_e9e35e8f
comment
Exact Words: Alongside Loophole Abuse, this is a tactic that Harry frequently uses against Umbridge. In Chapter 3, Harry reads through the assigned DADA textbook, "Defensive Magical Theory", and notes that the 1% non-useless content can actually be applicable in self-defense in combat. Later in the chapter, he deliberately provokes Umbridge into testing his knowledge on the book so he can prove exactly how the textbook she assigned can be used against her teachings. In Chapter 4, Umbridge tries to interrogate Harry in a deserted corridor over the Blood Quill tattoo scheme; when she demands to know what he did, Harry's first instinct is to list off his daily routines. Harry specifically makes sure that Dobby leaves him in the dark on certain details so he can honestly say that he didn't know.

After the Christmas holidays in Chapter 24, Harry makes his plans for the next D.A. meeting in French "just in case" Umbridge decides to snoop in on him doing so in her class.

Not Cheating Unless You Get Caught
 Trolling the Toad (Fanfic) / int_febb58e2
comment
Not Cheating Unless You Get Caught: Some of the Slytherins hold this mentality as one of their unofficial House mottos was to "Never get caught". This causes them to see Umbridge as another stain on their House's reputation after finding out about her torture of their fellow students through the Hogwarts Voice — not because she was torturing them, but because she was arrogant enough to leave evidence (i.e. scars) in her discipline methods, which allowed her to get caught, i.e. they were disgusted that she didn't Do Wrong, Right. Of course, many other Slytherins are outraged by her behaviour for moral-ethical reasons and/or because they have loved ones in other Houses.
