History Fanfic / LastMageOfKrypton

* UnexpectedCharacter: Harry isn't just the future Superman, his [[spoiler:Animagus form is a white Kryptonian hound which makes him this timelines version of Krypto The Superdog!]]

* DirtyCoward: Somewhat subverted with Wormtail as Voldemort notes when he discusses the rats ScrewThisImOutOfHere in the previous volume. As a spy Wormtail is not a combatant and since he will always leave the field when things go wrong Voldemort is guaranteed one agent who can seek him out and restore him. Doesn't make Wormtail any less of a coward but it does show how Voldemort was smart enough to "weaponise" this trait.

* UnexpectedCharacter: The vampire Sanguine is a canon character who appeared briefly in [[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheHalfBloodPrince book six]] while Horace Slughorn also pops up earlier than he would have done in canon.
** [[spoiler:Pete Wisdom from MI 13 appears in the final scene.]]

* PlausibleDeniability: During a discussion about [[spoiler:Jor-El's animagus creation technique Harry notes he got most of the information from a list of books Snape gave him. Hermione wonders if this means Snape is an Animagus as well, and Harry notes he has very carefully "not" asked. This is because not only would he know Snape is an unregistered Animagus (which is illegal) but it is highly unlikely Snape "wouldn't" realize Harry is now one as well. By not actually confirming their suspicions neither of them need to lie if asked, (especially if asked by Law enforcement). Snape actually is an Animagus with the form of a large black bird but Harry is not seen to learn this for certain during the story]]
* RonTheDeathEater: Averted with the Trope namer, although Harry and Ron are not that close (due to not being in the same house in this universe) they are still friendly and Ron is a FriendlyRival on the Quidditch field and supportive of Ginny [[spoiler:who ended up in Ravenclaw]]. Heavily used with former Minister Bagnold who is usually portrayed in fanfiction (if shown at all) as a Maggie Thatcher clone war leader. Here she is [[spoiler:an entitled Narcissist, who stole the Potter elves after James and Lily's death, is in it for the money and gets her karmic comeuppance when Sirius is revealed to be innocent and she is forced to pay compensation for his incarceration out of her own pocket, By the end of the story she is set up to become Voldemort's next host.]]

* AnAxeToGrind: Flitwick receives an incredibly sharp axe and declares it the best weapon ever.

* {{Expy}}: Draco Malfoy's conversion to [[spoiler:a [[{{Superman}} Lex Luthor]]-like person]] is almost complete as he has become far more cunning and has [[spoiler:[[BaldOfEvil lost his hair]]]]

** It's specifically noted that an advantage over wands is that if the enemy is magic-proof, [[SimpleStaff six foot of solid wood]] can be used to hit it until it goes away.

* AmbiguousSituation: Harry's blood status and whether his [[spoiler:Use of it at his hearing is actually BlatantLies]]. As an alien who is not the biological son of James Potter an argument can be made that he is actually a Muggleborn thus [[spoiler:the "promotion" from his order of Merlin]] only makes him a half blood. However as the descendant of Kryptonian's who routinely use magic Harry can make the claim he is actually a pure-blood, just not a human one.

* MagicStaff: When the Good Guys find that Voldie has set up an area where they cannot use wands, they break out alternate foci such as rings, shields, swords and the aforementioned [[MagicStaff Magic Staffs]]. Played with in that although the Staff allows spells of great power, actually casting said spells requires the user to be standing still, making them an easy target for Wand-users.

* DecompositeCharacter: Nuggets of information sprinkled into various conversations indicate that there were no less than ''three'' Merlins in the Potterverse, the one who made [[MagicSword Cadelfwch]] for King Arthur, the one who taught the Founders and the one who was a student at Hogwarts in Slytherin. Due to the passage of time, all three are often regarded by modern witches and wizards as [[CompositeCharacter being the same person]].
