History FanFic / WeasleyGirl

* YankTheDogsChain: Thanks to differing clues, an unfortunately-timed joke from George, and a misunderstanding, Harry spends a couple of chapters thinking that Fluffy is in fact guarding the Resurrection Stone, and that he might use that to call his parents back to life.

** Snape's TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to Harry is cut short by Hagrid, who calls Snape out for bringing up his [[FreudianExcuse childhood]] and tells him to grow up. Horrible upbringings shouldn't be a reason for bullying others, and considering the audience at the time ([[AbusiveParents Harry]] and [[ICouldaBeenAContender Hagrid]]), Snape wasn't just being immature with his rant, but also self-centered.

** In ''Secrets of he Past,'' the Gang grows a little with the addition of Ginny and Colin, meaning that now it consists of three boys and three girls.

* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Potter's Gang:

* DemotedToExtra: Having been PutOnABus at the end of the first story, Snape almost entirely absent from ''Secrets of the Past.'' He only shows up for a brief cameo towards the end.

* CombatPragmatist: Mad-Eye Moody encourages students to be this, to use what skills or items they have at hands, and not be afraid of FightingDirty, especially if their lives depend on it. [[spoiler: Harry and Hermione use this approach when Quirrell/Voldemort attacks during Christmas dinner and they, lacking any actual combat spells, employ ''Wingardium Leviosa'' in order to hurl the turkeys, potatoes and drinking goblets at their adversary. Voldemort calls it a "glorified food fight," but it ''does'' slow him down enough for Dumbledore to come to the rescue.]]

At the time of writing, the second story in the trilogy is close to being finished, and is titled ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9932798/1/Weasley-Girl-Secrets-of-the-Past Weasley Girl: Secrets of the Past]].''

* TongueTied: Ginny, when Harry gives her any amount of attention, is unable to say anything but ''"Squeak!"'' As of ''Secrets of the Past,'' she seems to be slowly getting over it.

At the time of writing, the second story in the trilogy is close to being finished, and is titled ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9932798/1/Weasley-Girl-Secrets-of-the-Past Weasley Girl: Secrets of the Past]].'' The third story is being planned and will be titled ''Weasley Girl: War of the Prophecy.''

* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Snape is a terrible teacher who plays favourite and bullies students he doesn't like, but he did risk his life to resist Voldemort and almost dies for his efforts. However, when Harry tried to thank him for this, and even apologise for his (justified) dislike against the Potions professor, Snape accused him for lying and continues to be a surly grump who refuses to let go of his bitterness.

*** [[spoiler: Turns out that Snape DID get in trouble and was lectured by Dumbledore about his behavior. When Harry expressed surprised at this, Snape sarcastically responded that that kind of information isn't for students, even Harry to know.]]

* AscendedExtra: Colin Creevey in ''Secrets of the Past'' gets a larger role than he had in canon. The same fic also features Crookshanks as a semi-major character.

* ThePowerOfFriendship: In full force. [[spoiler: After leaving Quirrell's body, the ghostly Voldemort tries a last, desperate attack on Harry, but fails because Ronnie, Hermione and Neville shield their friend.]]

* BlessedWithSuck: After Quirrell' first somewhat ham-fisted attempt at killing Harry, trying to arrange an "accident" with potentially lethal potions, both Harry, Ronnie, Hermione and Neville end up [[spoiler:completely immune to all potions and elixirs -- both harmful ones and beneficial ones. The same thing happens to Quirrell/Voldemort, when it's revealed Snape has managed to recreate the mixture of potions that caused the immunity and managed to give it to Quirrell/Voldemort -- meaning that neither unicorn blood nor the Elixir of Life will work on them.]]

* AscendedExtra: Colin Creevey in ''Secrets of the Past'' gets a larger role than he had in canon.

* BigDamnHeroes: Happens three times so far:

At the time of writing, the second story in the trilogy has started, and is titled ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9932798/1/Weasley-Girl-Secrets-of-the-Past Weasley Girl: Secrets of the Past]].''

* AwesomeButImpractical: The Warning Fangs given to Potter's Gang by Mad-Eye Moody are magically-enhanced fangs to be worn around the neck, and which grow hot whenever danger or potential danger gets too close. Problem is, sometimes the warning comes just a little too late -- and even when they ''do'' give ample warning they don't give the wearer any clue as to what the danger is, or how serious it is; they'll grow just as hot for annoying pranksters as they will for murderous monsters.

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: The Lovegoods, of course. Xenophilius and Luna make their first appearance in ''Secrets of the Past'' at King's Cross, [[EstablishingCharacterMoment Xenophilius pulling the trolley instead of pushing it because it's "terrible bad luck to push things around on a Wednesday," Luna riding the trolley and singing the Hogwarts school song instead of saying hello, and both of them wearing incredibly loud purple clothes.]] Eleven-year-old Luna may, if that's even possible, be slightly weirder than the fourteen-year-old version we're first introduced to in canon.
