4	!!This fanfiction contains the following tropes:
5	* AffablyEvil: Tom Riddle is very polite and open when he appears in the Chamber, even laughing at Harry's snark
6	* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Hermione (spell-casting) and Harry (Quidditch) are this to Draco
7	* AntiHero: Hermione seems to be slowly slipping into this category.
8	* BadassBookworm:
9	** Hermione, to the point of learning spells before the appropriate grade.
10	** [[spoiler:Surprisingly, ''Gilderoy Lockhart'' turns out to be much smarter, carrying a large amount of potions. He doesn't charm Harry's bones away this time, either.]]
11	* TheBully: Hermione, as her mastery over TheDarkArts increases, becomes this to Draco, not that he doesn't deserves it
12	* BullyHunter: Snape, somewhat. When, during a dueling club session, Snape [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness takes points from Slytherin]] and gives detention to Hermione, due to the fact that she tried to curse him after she already defeated him
13	* CheatersNeverProsper: Played with. In the [[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheChamberOfSecrets second year]], a bludger is enchanted to go after Harry, everyone in Slytherin thinks that Draco did it but of course, it was Dobby who enchanted the bludger but Hermione still takes credit for helping the Slytherin team avoinding punishment by destroying, thus preventing the school staff from finding the source of tampering.
14	* ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve: Magic is about intent, thus a trained wizard can bend spells to make them do something different, such as making a water-repeling charm to instead remove dirt and stains already present in clothes.
15	* CrazyPrepared: Lockhart carries a surprising amount of potions on him, [[spoiler:and also wears protective clothing that prevent most jinxes and spells from harming him]]
16	* CurbStompBattle: Draco accepted a duel challenge from Hermione. [[spoiler:A ForegoneConclusion, both times.]]
17	* DarkIsNotEvil: Hermione herself, who is a good person while still being a ruthless person with a thirst for power. This can also apply to all of Slytherin House, with the sincerely friendly, non-evil friends Hermione makes.
18	* DeadpanSnarker: Harry.
19	* DissonantSerenity: In mild example of this, returning to Hogwarts after winter holidays in Chapter 3,
20	--> Hermione felt a certain sense of [[HomeSweetHome homecoming]] when she [[ProperlyParanoid cast the protective wards over her bedcurtains]] and [[HomeSweetHome tucked herself in to sleep]].
21	* EitherOrTitle: Applied Cultural Anthropology or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Cruciatus
22	* EvilMentor: [[spoiler: Diary Tom Riddle becomes this for Hermione.]]
23	* FantasticRacism: In Slytherin, Hermione is exposed to a lot more overt racism than in Gryffindor. She wants power to force them to respect her.
24	* HandsGoDown: Lockhart to some students after his hair fell victim to the Weasley Twins' pranks. "Let me rephrase: Do you have any questions that aren't about the hair?" Hermione put down her hand, as did everybody else
25	* InSpiteOfANail: Harry and Ron still find themselves dragged into the mystery of the Philosopher's Stone in spite the fact that Hermione was not there to unlock the door to Fluffy
26	* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Lockhart gets killed by a Basilisk fang.]]
27	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Snape seems much more reasonable than in the main series.
28	* RivalsTeamUp: A subversion of sorts: Draco proposes that he and Hermione team up in the Potions class to earn some House Points for Slytherin. [[TooManyCooksSpoilTheSoup What could possibly go wrong?]]
29	* SignificantAnagram: Of course, since Tom Marvolo Riddle himself makes an appearance
30	* TooDumbToLive: After learning the Unlocking Charm, Harry and Ron decide to use it to open the locked door on the third floor corridor- the same corridor that Dumbledore warned (off-screen) students to stay away from unless they wanted to die...
31	* TomTheDarkLord: Parodied. While discussing with Hermione in the Chamber, Tom Riddle wonders if he should use his real name this time around and teach the wizarding world to fear it.
32	* NotSoDifferentRemark: Hermione's boggart is [[spoiler: Tom Riddle. That is, she is terrified of going down the same path as Voldemort.]]
33	* NotSoHarmlessVillain: [[spoiler:''Gilderoy Lockhart'', of all people, turns out to be much smarter person and effective fighter than his canon counterpart. [[InSpiteOfANail Memory Charms remain his strong point]].]]
34	* VillainousBreakdown: Draco suffers from this in the third year due to Hermione's bullying. It freaks her out to some extent.
35	* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:Voldemort is (possibly) revealed to be this. Of course, this might also be him being a lying ManipulativeBastard]]
36	* WizardDuel: In her first year, Hermione faces two. One against Pansy, in which she doesn't shows up as she knew it was a trap and another one after the final exams against Draco, whom she gloriously curbstomps. Though Draco swears vengeance...
