1-> ''I'm just a guy on vacation''

3''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2318355/1/Make_A_Wish Make A Wish]]'' is a Harry Potter fic written by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/686093/Rorschachs_Blot Rorschach's Blot]].
4
5After the events of ''[[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheOrderOfThePhoenix Order of the Phoenix]]'', Harry decides that he doesn't particularly want to simply go off and die in a final confrontation with Voldemort, at least not without having a chance to see a bit of the world first. What follows is a vacation that spans the summer (and a good part of the fic), and takes Harry, under the alias Mr. Black, through several countries, adventures, and more than a few dead Death Eaters.
6
7It also has a sequel, ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3032621/1/The_Hunt_For_Harry_Potter The Hunt For Harry Potter]]'', by the same author, along with numerous fan-made omakes and sequels that can be found on [[https://web.archive.org/web/20201214195054/https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/CaerAzkaban/info his Yahoo Group (in archived form)]] or the fanfiction.net community [[https://www.fanfiction.net/community/Black-INK/71873/99/4/1/0/0/0/0/ Black Ink]].
8----
9!!''Make A Wish'' provides examples of:
10* AccidentalCelebrity: Harry Potter just wanted a vacation, and because he is famous he decides to take the alias "Mr. Black" to go incognito. One summer later, "Mr. Black" is an InUniverse MemeticBadass with a MysteriousPast who makes Death Eaters drop dead left and right via equally mysterious means, and is always aware of ''everything''. Harry is completely oblivious to his AccidentalHero status, as everything was the result of ContrivedCoincidence.
11* AccidentalTruth: When he goes to Austria, Harry goes to the hills near Salzburg and reenacts the "The hills are alive" scene from ''Film/TheSoundOfMusic'', adding the joke "They are eating people". As it turns out, there's a SealedEvilInACan nearby, and the Aurors escorting Harry take his joke as a warning - which turns out to be in time, as the "can" was close to opening.
12* AchievementsInIgnorance: Many of Mr. Black's accomplishments are completely unknown to him.
13* TheAlcoholic: There's many references to Harry getting drunk multiple times across the story.
14* AllPowerfulBystander: A common theory among both dark wizards and law enforcement is that Mr. Black was retired and would have happily kept out of the world's affairs if Voldemort hadn't [[BullyingADragon kept trying to kill him]].
15* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: InUniverse with Mr Black. Everyone thinks that Mr Black is a badass OlderThanDirt wizard who has a very twisted sense of humour and thus likes to play "pranks" on the Law Enforcement officers he meets, such as dropping Death Eaters into a cell while he is being given a tour, and also uses ObfuscatingStupidity to deal with [=LEOs=] who are shadowing him. Actually, Mr Black (Harry) is just as surprised as them whenever Death Eaters appear next to him in increasingly weird situations and does not even know people are tailing him at all.
16* AnvilOnHead: The sole purpose of the "Acme" spell. The advanced version offers a ten-ton weight and a grand piano as alternatives. The author must have seen at least one Road Runner vs Wile E. Coyote cartoon because the name and sole purpose of the spell comes right from there (more specifically Wile E.'s constant failed attempts at catching the Road Runner).
17* TheAtoner: What people think Mr. Black is, after several comments he makes are overheard by certain people and misconstrued to mean something else.
18* BecomingTheMask: At the end of the story [[spoiler: after Harry kills Voldemort, he decides to leave his old life behind and embrace the Mr. Black persona fully]].
19* BeenThereShapedHistory: As the legend of Mr. Black grows, several misconstrued commentaries, pure luck and [[spoiler:a little manipulation by the Cassandra family]] make it look like he may have been involved in all sort of historical events.
20* BreadEggsMilkSquick: A German blood purist newspaper goes out of business due to "rising costs of doing business and the fact that the obituary section is larger than the last three issues ''combined''."
21* BrickJoke: In one of the earlier chapters, [[CloudCuckooLander Luna and her father]] mention a holiday they proposed to the Ministry called "National Yell At Your Daughter Day." Later they are, indeed, yelling at the top of their lungs at each other, until Luna decides that it's [[NoodleImplements just not the same without the ducks.]]
22** A ''multi-story'' brick joke features in the Naruto crossover sequel. In Make A Wish, Mr. Black is irritated to find out many of his problems are because he [[ReadTheFreakingManual didn't read a certain manual]]. In the Naruto Crossover [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9754636/1/The-Contract The Contract]], Naruto notes that whenever he gets any new items from Black Ink, they come with a manual that he is ordered to read.
23* BunnyEarsLawyer: Everyone thinks that Mr. Black is [[ObfuscatingStupidity pretending that he doesn't know what is going around him]], and is just goofing off. They also think that he is [[TheAce so good at everything he does]] that he can not only afford to, but might [[TheDreaded do horrible things to those that dare ruin his fun]]; since [[ContrivedCoincidence everyone IS better off]], even if scared and/or stressed in the end, they let him get away with it. Of course, Harry ''is'' [[SincerityMode genuinely oblivious when he speaks]], but no-one knows that.
24* ButtMonkey: Harry; he spends a good deal of time bemoaning his awful luck. At one time, he makes an unfortunately-phrased comment about destroying civilizations in a past life, so his current one is thus cursed; later still, he thinks he may be the universe's spittoon. It can go either way, depending on the reader's opinion, although being ignorant of his accomplishments means that Harry doesn't get to see any silver lining to the unpleasant situations he gets into.
25* TheCassandra: [[spoiler:The shopkeeper at the beginning reveals to Harry when he returns from his vacation that he and many in his very extended family inherited Cassandra's curse, which is what prompts them to do what they can to help the world.]]
26* CharacterCatchphrase: When asked for more details on who he is, Mr. Black will invariably reply: "I'm just a guy on vacation." It's even used to identify him during his stop in Australia, as only the real Mr. Black responds like that. Harry does because he just wants a vacation, while [[OneDialogueTwoConversations everyone else]] thinks he's being a HumbleHero.
27* CloseToHome: Mr. Black ''hates'' Death Eaters and Blood Purists in general, as a result of dealing with them back in England. Every time he encounters a group of them, [[CruelAndUnusualDeath things go very bad for the opposing side]].
28* CombatPragmatist: Harry and eventually the remaining members of the DA. Before setting them to spar with each other, Harry reminds them of the number one rule: "It's only unfair if the other guy does it."
29%%* ComingOfAgeStory: This is a ''Literature/HarryPotter'' fic, so that's to be expected.
30* ConfusionFu: One of the traits that law enforcement find the most perturbing about Mr. Black is his unpredictability. They cannot track him accurately nor tell what he is going to do at any given moment, and that, for someone of his [[ContrivedCoincidence perceived]] power, is incredibly scary.
31** The use of simple, easy-to-use everyday utility spells to gain an edge is discussed at length. It starts with the use of a cosmetic spell (for quick ''tanning'') against vampires, and earns Mr. Black the reputation of a tactical genius. After all, those utility spells are plentiful, made to be quick, easy to learn and cast, and any wizard in the world has dozens of them practiced; their use in combat will most definitely catch someone off-guard, since virtually no-one thinks of having a defense against them.
32*** Demonstrated when a student at Hogwarts uses a ''BreastExpansion spell'' on a practice duel against a ''guy'' to throw him for a loop, upset his balance, and win the duel. The girl in question was inspired by Mr. Black's use of a cosmetic spell, of which she knows several (from girly magazines), to deadly effect.
33* ContrivedCoincidence: This happens a ''lot''. [[spoiler:It is implied that these coincidences are actually planned out by the members of a family that can see the future, led by the Diagon Alley shopkeeper who sold Harry his travel hardware. This is better seen with the wizard Wormtail buys the Portkeys from: he always sends them to where Mr Black is going to be or nearby, but in such a way that it is lethal (or almost lethal) for the Death Eaters.]]
34** It's also possible that the coincidences happen because of Harry's [[BornLucky insane luck.]] On one occasion he wanders through a casino, and places a single bet. A bet that wins ''so'' big, the casino investigates it, turning up a cheat in the process.
35** Perhaps the biggest coincidence happens during the stop in Egypt: A group of Ministry officials sent after him by Fudge get caught in a rock slide. Amongst the group are Nymphadora Tonks, Kingsley Shacklebolt, and Dolores Umbridge. Tonks and Kingsley, who Harry likes, manage to survive with relatively minor injuries; Umbridge, who Harry hates, dies from her far more serious ones.
36* CoolBike: Thanks to [[BornLucky Harry's insane luck at gambling]], he wins one of these in America. [[MadScientist The Professor]] asks if he can modify it, and Harry agrees - his only specific request is [[FlyingCar to have it fly]], but otherwise he gives the Professor free reign to add anything he wants besides that. The Professor and Henchgirl get [[MadScientist some like-minded friends]], and even make a contest out of who can put the most features in. After all of that, it can shrink to pocket-size, [[OilSlick drop oil slicks]], [[WeaponizedCar shoot spells]], fly, change license plates, and even has a pooka - a ''[[CoolHorse ghost horse]]'' - bound to it so that it never needs fuel, [[EmpathicWeapon can act by itself if needed]], and occasionally projects the [[AnimalBattleAura image of the pooka itself]].
37* CouldSayItBut: Harry's travel book talks about some spells he can use to hide himself and about the equivalent to the Unforgivables in other countries in this way.
38* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Several. After [[spoiler: the Lestranges' [[TeleporterAccident gruesome end]]]], Mr. Black earns a reputation of getting 'creative' with people who anger him.
39* DarkIsNotEvil: Played with. Mr. Black is believed to have been a Dark Lord who destroyed civilizations in a previous life and is now TheAtoner. That doesn't stop him from scaring pretty much everyone.
40** Later in the story, it is believed that one of those civilizations was ''Atlantis''. Since, if they were willing to exile a wizard for being "too weak" (and that was Merlin!), it worries everyone to think what they would do to non-Purebloods... and Mr. Black's hatred towards [[ANaziByAnyOtherName Blood Purists]] is very well-known.
41* TheDreaded: Mr. Black. Death Eaters would rather go to Azkaban than risk the chance that Mr. Black might kill them in a horribly gruesome way.
42* TheFaceless: The most recognizable thing about Mr. Black's face is that it's impossible to describe to someone else. In photographs, his face is always blurred out.
43* FailsafeFailure: [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] and [[InvokedTrope invoked]]. The wizard who makes the Portkeys that the Death Eaters use ''deliberately'' leaves out [[TeleporterAccident important safety features]] because he doesn't like how they treat him.
44* FlockOfWolves: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]]. By the end of the story, there are just twenty-something Death Eaters left, and it turns out all of them are actually spies for the Ministry or any other government group. [[ContrivedCoincidence They all decide to report to their bosses on the same night Voldemort's Headquarters are destroyed.]]
45** This, itself, is interpreted by them as an [[InvertedTrope inversion]] of the MakeItLookLikeAnAccident trope; ''obviously'' it was the work of Mr. Black, for who else would be able to arrange that ''every'' guard in rotation be the spies? And have them all outside of the building as they are reporting back to their bosses? ''And'' have it seem like it was a random gas leak? Only Black.
46* TheGrimReaper: After Harry picks up a scythe, many people think he's the personification of Death, or possibly what ''inspired'' the Grim Reaper in the first place.
47* GoodIsNotSoft: Just because Mr. Black helps out the local law enforcement does not mean that he won't resort to extreme measures when they aren't looking.
48* GuiltComplex: Harry's got one of these, and it only gets bigger after he finds out what everyone expects out of "Mr. Black."
49* HandWave: Done literally at one point.
50--> '''Harry''': Why can't [the zeppelin] use the same enchantments as the Knight Bus?
51--> '''The Professor''': That won't work. *waves his hand dismissively* The... would you excuse me? *runs off to chase down Henchgirl*
52* HorsemenOfTheApocalypse
53* HyperCompetentSidekick: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Henchgirl]], to the Professor. In fact, the only reason ''she'' got the title of "Hench" is because the Professor won a coin-toss.
54* INeverToldYouMyName[=/=]INeverSaidItWasPoison: Accidentally. When he arrives in Marseilles and gets attacked by a Squib serial killer (armed with a magical knife), Harry is interrogated by one Auror, who calls him Mr Black at the end of the interview. Harry jokes about how fast they arrived (not knowing they were following him) and then tells the Auror's healer that the interviewer's technique was so good he does not even remember giving him his name. The Aurors take these quite seriously.
55* IKnowYoureWatchingMe: ''[[ContrivedCoincidence Accidentally]]''. In his visit to the Netherlands, Harry spends the day visiting museums and admiring art, and at the end of it he compares the masterpieces to Hogwarts' moving paintings, calling the latter's painters "Amateurs". The surveillance agents tailing him take it to mean that ''he knew they were there all along'' (aided by him leaving them a photo of a patch of grass where an invisible agent just so happened to be standing when it was taken), and unwittingly start the belief that Mr. Black is an old professional who [[TheOldestTricksInTheBook knows all of the tricks]]. Later incidents, particularly those in France (he gets fed up with having to stand on a line to see anything right when French Aurors are about to break into his hotel room), further this belief until everyone thinks he might as well be [[TheOmniscient nigh-omniscient]], having [[OlderThanDirt pretty much written the book before books existed]], and is just [[ObfuscatingStupidity pretending he doesn't know because he's got a twisted sense of humor]].
56* IReadItForTheArticles: Dumbledore says this when he accidentally reveals he buys [[Magazine/{{Playboy}} Playwizard]] magazine. Then Tonks reveals she also buys it to practice forms and for the articles, leaving Dumbledore dumbfounded when she mentions one of them.
57* ImprobableWeaponUser: when Harry gets attacked by Dementors at Diagon Alley after he returns, instead of using his Patronus charm (which would give up his identity), he just pulls out the "Mr Black" chocolate frog card the Twins made, which spouts hot chocolate when tapped with a wand. HilarityEnsues.
58* IncrediblyLamePun: When Harry is in Paris, trying to enjoy the city's monuments and museums but having to deal with the long queues, he cannot help but think that, instead of "The City of Lights", Paris should be called "The City of Lines".
59* IronicEcho: Harry spends most of the story introducing himself as "Just a man on vacation." At the end when he chooses to become Mr. Black, he introduces himself as "A man in need of a vacation."
60* ItRunsOnNonsensoleum: The zeppelin floats because it's been filled with ''nothing.'' [[AWizardDidIt It's magic, don't question it.]]
61** It makes sense in physics, as the displaced air weights more than the contents of the zeppelin, producing buoyancy. Making the zeppelin's bag stay in shape, despite being empty, ''does'' require the intervention of a literal wizard - nature abhors a vacuum, after all.
62* KarmaHoudini: Wormtail
63** Not so much, because all of his failures in trying to attack Mr Black have a great toll in his sanity, and in the end he gives himself up to the Aurors.
64*** The strain on his psyche was made even ''worse'' by the many injuries he received each time, making him believe that Mr. Black was [[ColdBloodedTorture killing him one piece at a time]].
65* KentBrockmanNews: ''The Prophet'''s original bias. Later, to start competing with ''The Quibbler'', they shift to outright BlatantLies.
66* KnightInSourArmor: Harry. Not that he notices his impact in the world (at least, not until he returns from his vacation.
67* KnownOnlyByTheirNickname: The majority of Harry's companions.
68* LastNameBasis: Mr. Black of course. One of the Cassandra family even changes his passport so his name ''is'' Mr.
69* MadBomber: Of all people, ''[[TheSmartGuy Hermione]]'' gains this reputation in the sequel. [[InsistentTerminology She is adamant in denying it]], but she shows a trend of solving problems with explosions, be they accidental, 'accidental', or otherwise.
70* MadScientist: The Professor, a rare non-malicious version.
71** Henchgirl is another example, although leaning more towards potions. She's just like him, and only became Henchgirl because she lost the coin toss.
72* {{Magitek}}: The Professor and Henchgirl work in this trade. One example is when they begin to make and sell lighters that can be used as portable Floo connections.
73* MakeItLookLikeAnAccident: What [[ContrivedCoincidence everyone thinks]] is Mr. Black's default MO after his visit to Italy.
74** Several [[AccidentalMurder accidental deaths]] get attributed to him whenever he is in the area, [[spoiler: by the end he gets credit for events ''all around the world'']].
75** [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] in that he is also credited with the ''saving'' of lives with accidents and/or their consequences.
76* MemeticBadass: In the span of one summer, Mr Black becomes this InUniverse.
77* MistakenForBadass: There are so many [[AccidentalMurder accidental deaths]] around "Mr. Black" that pretty much the entire magical community is convinced that he's some sort of super-wizard. In point of fact, it's all just a string of [[ContrivedCoincidence coincidences]].
78** Of course, "Mr. Black" is actually quite Badass himself, particularly after his... [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot upgrades.]] It's just overshadowed by the things that [[ContrivedCoincidence happen around him]] or are mistakenly attributed to him.
79* MundaneUtility: Who could have known that a tanning spell could be used to kill a vampire? Lavender Brown uses this as inspiration to win a duel against Seamus [[spoiler: with a similarly-mundane spell for ''breast expansion''.]]
80** [[spoiler:The [[TheCassandra Cassandra family]] can see the future, but know they will not be believed due to their curse... so they set out to use those visions to get rich and help the world indirectly.]]
81* MyEyesAreUpHere: Lavender uses a breast expansion spell on Seamus during their duel because he has a habit of talking to her chest and "my eyes are a bit higher".
82* NeverHurtAnInnocent: ... or else the [[CruelAndUnusualDeath coroner will be]] [[NoKillLikeOverkill unable to]] [[LudicrousGibs put you]] [[NotEnoughToBury back together]].
83* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: [[spoiler:Mr. Black becomes a hybrid of vampire and werewolf, plus the fact that his blood is mixed with basilisk venom and phoenix tears, among other things.]]
84* NotEnoughToBury: Death Eaters and other Blood Purists get hit with this. [[AssholeVictim Hard]]. [[RunningGag And often]]. In Germany, the coroner has trouble [[LudicrousGibs telling the pieces apart]] after Black gives his Russian battle magic a try, a Death Eater attack team is ran over by a train and damaged beyond recognition, the [[spoiler:Lestranges]] have to be mopped up ''and'' picked clean from the [[TeleporterAccident insides]] of a vending machine, another Death Eater team is {{Eaten Alive}} by [[LandDownUnder Australia's]] [[DeathWorld deadly]] [[EverythingTryingToKillYou wildlife]], and let's not forget the bandits who are eaten by a nundu...
85* ObfuscatingStupidity: What everyone thinks Mr. Black does.
86* OhCrap: Several, usually when someone realizes Mr. Black is nearby.
87-->'''Undercover Agent:''' And what's your name?
88-->'''Mr. Black:''' Black.
89-->'''Undercover Agent:''' (Suddenly very nervous) And might I ask what your first name is?
90-->'''Mr. Black:''' Mr.
91-->'''Undercover Agent:''' I see. Excuse me, but I'm afraid I must be going.
92* OneDialogueTwoConversations: Harry's innocent conversations with the local crime boss he meets in Rome.
93** It keeps happening. All. The. Time. With criminals, with law enforcement, random people. ''Everyone''.
94* OnlySaneMan:
95** Mr. Black feels like this when compared to the Professor and Henchgirl (and to a lesser extent the Doctor and the Architect), not to mention all the strange situations he finds himself in.
96** Even more so in the sequel, where Luna, Hermione, and Tonks ''each'' think that she's the only sane woman in their trio. [[spoiler: None of them are.]]
97* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: [[spoiler:Harry becomes part-werewolf at one point.]]
98* PapaWolf: When you murder an innocent child, Mr. Black will have no restraint in dealing with you.
99* PoisonousPerson: Harry, thanks to the events of the Chamber of Secrets, is perfectly healthy even though his blood still has Basilisk venom running through it. The Doctor also discovers that, if poisoned, he will just absorb the poison and become immune to it. When he is in Australia, a bunch of spiders bite him and die almost immediately because of the poison.
100* PragmaticVillainy: Plenty of criminals, such as the Roman Mafia, are perfectly willing to tone down their most horrible acts... if it keeps Mr. Black from noticing them.
101* ReadTheFreakingManual: There are several instances of Harry (or someone else) getting instructions to make something work. [[spoiler:When he returns to England, Harry is less than pleased to be told that the reason he got in so much trouble was because he didn't read the instruction manual for the SEP Field Generator.]]
102* RhetoricalRequestBlunder: When Harry, at one time, wakes with a hangover at the Professor's zeppelin, he asks for something to kill his hangover or just kill him. The Professor returns with a potion that he claims would kill a herd of elephants.
103* RuleOfCool: Why did Henchgirl enchant her zeppelin to have a rolling bank of clouds surrounding it at all times? Because it's cool.
104* RunningGag:
105** Death Eaters taking a Portkey to some place where Mr. Black is going to be, only to suffer some great misfortune. The only person who always survives is Wormtail.
106*** Death Eaters later begin to balk at the idea of being on the teams sent to kill Mr. Black, while those who are not sent start to take bets on what happens to those who go. One earns ten thousand Galleons for correctly guessing the fate of the Australian team (Wormtail survived but was badly bitten in the buttocks, which the Death Eater in charge asks about as the next part of the bet).
107* ScareEmStraight: Eventually, there's a ScareEmStraight program started for budding Dark wizards that amounts to "Don't, or Mr. Black will find you."
108* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: A couple times, someone realizes they're dealing with ''the'' Mr. Black and promptly leaves.
109* SecretKeeper: The Weasley twins are the only canon characters aware of Mr. Black's true identity.
110* SelfFulfillingProphecy: The German criminal underground want to make a deal with Mr. Black similar to the one he made with the Mafia, but are scared after he brutally massacres a bunch of blood purists, and the local Aurors think Mr. Black is going to go on a rampage... so the criminal underground proceeds to ''cause'' the rampage themselves.
111* ShoutOut:
112** The [[Literature/LifeTheUniverseAndEverything SEP Field]].
113** Another one, this time to Series/DoctorWho, when the Doctor's introducing herself.
114** Harry has an urge to sing "[[Theatre/TheSoundOfMusic The hills are alive!]] [[AccidentalTruth And they're eating people]]."
115** In the sequel, Harry [[Franchise/TheMatrix knows kung-fu]].
116* SideBet: The Death Eaters create a pool on how the next group sent with Wormtail are going to die. What happens to Wormtail himself is also bet on, according to the Death Eater in charge of said pool asking about that after one wins ten thousand Galleons for correctly guessing the fate of the Australian team.
117* SincerityMode: When asked anything other than his name, Harry responds with complete sincerity, [[OneDialogueTwoConversations but no-one takes what he says at face value]] - Mr. Black is ''[[SarcasmMode obviously]]'' [[TheAce too skilled to be ignorant of his situation]], [[ObfuscatingStupidity and his sense of humor is a little twisted]].
118* SureLetsGoWithThat: a French Auror who can transform into a poodle tells his female partner that the most dangerous people try to look like they are harmless. The witch asks him if that is why he had her groom him and put a bow around his neck. He says yes this way.
119* TeleporterAccident: [[RunningGag Many, many examples]], but the [[CruelAndUnusualDeath prize]] goes to how [[spoiler: the Lestranges die: Apparating inside of a vending machine]]. As usual, it's one part genuine accident, one part [[InvokedTrope pissing off the guy who made the Portkey]], and [[ContrivedCoincidence zero parts fault of Mr. Black]].
120* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler: Mr. Black]], by the end of the story.
121* UrbanLegendLoveLife: ''One'' day of being friendly to Veela, and some [[ContrivedCoincidence bizzarre]] [[NoodleIncident circumstances]] later, and Mr. Black becomes a [[AnthropomorphicPersonification symbol of fertility]].
122* WeirdnessCensor: Mr. Black has a bracelet that makes it difficult for people to focus on the details of his person, explicitly called [[BystanderSyndrome a SEP ("Someone Else's Problem") Field]].
123** When he returns to England, Harry[=/=]Mr. Black goes to the shopkeeper who sold him what he bought at the beginning to complain at the fact that, even with the bracelet, he got caught in plenty of messes. [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments The shopkeeper promptly shows him that he had the SEP field on its lowest setting.]]
124* WhatDidIDoLastNight: Harry awakens several times from a long night-drinking binge without knowing what the hell happened to him the previous night.
125* WronskiFeint: Harry takes part in a broom race that goes through a dragon sanctuary, and, just his luck, manages to get nearly every dragon hunting ''him''. He tries to [[BlindedByTheLight use the sunlight to blind them]], but ultimately shakes them off and wins the race with a textbook perfect WronskiFeint against the ground, saving the other racers in the process.
126* YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry: {{Invoked|Trope}} in regards to the enigmatic Mr. Black, and told almost word-by-word by Laetus Lovegood in his paper when he covers the "Black Massacre" in Germany. While the magnitude of the event was actually out of Black's hands, the [[NeverHurtAnInnocent trigger]] (it involved Death Eaters) for it was very well within the definition of the trope.
