History Fanfic / TheChosenSix

* SecretTestOfCharacter: 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.

** [[spoiler: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.]]

** Daphne Greengrass is a very obscure character within canon, getting only a brief mention during the OWLs exam during 5th year. Here, like with many fanfics featuring the character, her role is increased where she is friends with Millicent and [[spoiler:Dudley]].

** Played straight when another team recalls a situation where a muggle-born girl was killed by her own mother with a cleaver just a couple of days after receiving her Hogwarts letter.

** Ludo is shown facing more consequences for his unethical behavior and incompetence, such as getting called out for trying to collect sports bets from underage children and being in hot water with the Ministry over not reporting Bertha Jorkins's disappearance. He's eventually arrested and is outed as having abused his position to commit massive fraud, which never happened in canon. [[spoiler:He is killed when Voldemort attacks the prison to free his followers and sets the Dementors on the rest of the prisoners.]]

* BaitAndSwitch: During the school year, Draco and Pansy have been [[spoiler:using the Vanishing Cabinet]], giving the feeling that they plan to do something similar to what happens in canon. Instead, [[spoiler:the Death Eaters only send one person in to create an illusion of Hogwarts burning to distract the people defending Hogsmeade, allowing the former to attack the town almost unopposed]].

** 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 [[spoiler: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. [[spoiler:Ultimately {{Subverted| Trope}} 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.

* BlackmailIsSuchAnUglyWord: Averted. When the Six tell Draco and Pansy that the price for their naked photos to stay hidden is to cut off contact with Skeeter and Draco screams that it is blackmail, Harry bluntly replies that yes, it is.

* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:Harry has one when Voldemort tells him that Snape was the one that revealed the contents of the original prophecy to him.]]

* HeroicBSOC: [[spoiler:Harry has one when Voldemort tells him that Snape was the one that revealed the contents of the original prophecy to him.]]

* BaitAndSwitch: During the school year, Draco and Pansy have been [[spoiler:fixing the Vanishing Cabinet]], giving the feeling that they plan to do something similar to what happens in canon. Instead, [[spoiler:the Death Eaters only send one person in to create an illusion of Hogwarts burning to distract the people defending Hogsmeade, allowing the former to attack the town almost unopposed]].

** The Griffyndor 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.

* HonoraryUncle: Harry refers to both Sirius and Remus as such throughout the fix due to their active involvement in his life and upbringing.

''The Chosen Six'' is a ''Franchise/HarryPotter'' fanfic by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/626090/Tribun 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.

** 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. [[spoiler:Once Dudley wises up, the gang continues on without him, with Piers becoming the leader. Eventually, all four end up in juvenile hall.]]
