[[folder:Living With Danger]]
* Danger blew on her tea. "'[[Film/ANewHope Trust your feelings, Luke,']]" she quoted.
* Aletha has just been informed Remus is a werewolf:
-->"Werewolf?" Aletha repeated, her eyes wide.\\
"There wolf," Danger said in a guttural voice. "There castle."\\
Aletha stared at both of them for a moment, then cracked a smile. "Why are you talking like that?"\\
"I thought you wanted to," Danger said.\\
"No, I don't want to," said Aletha.\\
"[[Film/YoungFrankenstein Suit yourself, I'm easy,]]" chorused Danger and Remus, and all three of them started laughing.
* After bringing a very hungry Harry back from the Dursleys':
-->'''Danger''': "[[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Second breakfast, anyone?]]"\\
'''Remus''': "[[LampshadeHanging Feeling a little hobbitish today?]]"
** Aletha rescues Sirius from a dementor:
-->"Begone, if you be not deathless!" [Aletha] hissed. "For living or dark undead, I will smite you, if you touch him."
* Danger reads Literature/GoodnightMoon to Harry and Hermione at one point.
* [[spoiler:On the way to kidnapping Harry from the Dursleys:]]
--> [[spoiler: ''Remus'': '''You're the navigator, love. Tell me where to go.''']]\\
[[spoiler:''Danger'': '''[[TabletopGame/{{Monopoly}} Go to jail, go directly to jail...]]''']]
* Chapter 8's title: "[[Theatre/TwelfthNight If It Be Thus to Dream]]"
* [[spoiler:''Tonight, tonight,'' [Aletha] caroled inside her head. ''[[Theatre/WestSideStory I'll see my love tonight...]]'']]
* Aletha plays "[[Film/{{Casablanca}} As Time Goes By]]" [[spoiler:to welcome Sirius home.]]
* In the [[DreamLand dream-world]] sculpted by Danger, the the waltz from Tchaikovsky's Sleeping Beauty can be heard. Pulls triple-duty as a ShoutOut, an in-universe in-joke, and StealthPun: "[[WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream...]]"
* One of Danger's prophecies states that the Pack will have four children living with them "before [[Literature/NineteenEightyFour the storied year]] is through".
* '''Dumbledore''': (thinking) ''"[[Theatre/AMidsummerNightsDream This falls out better than I could devise.]]" [[ShoutOut/ToShakespeare So says the Bard]], and so say I.''
** The Pack at one point holds a "Shakespeare party" involving the Weasleys and the Lovegoods, in which there is a reading of the play.
* Aletha [[HypocriticalSinging sings the cubs to sleep with]] "[[Film/MaryPoppins Stay Awake]]".
* One to Creator/AbbottAndCostello:
-->'''Danger''': "I don't know where, but I know who."\\
'''Sirius''': "What?"\\
''No, What's on second, [[WhosOnFirst Who's on first]],'' Danger's memory supplied. She ignored it.
* ''[[Theatre/TheKingAndI Make-believe you're brave, and the trick will take you far,]]'' [Danger] chanted in her mind. ''[[WaxingLyrical You may be as brave as you make-believe you are.]]''
* As the first step of [[spoiler:getting through to Draco]], Aletha performs a rendition of "[[Film/TheMuppetMovie The Rainbow Connection]]".
* "Severus" [[BilingualBonus apparently translates as]] "[[WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs Grumpy]]". HilarityEnsues when Danger and Remus discover this. Severus Snape is significantly less amused.
* Sirius and Aletha duet on "[[Theatre/ThePhantomOfTheOpera All I Ask of You]]"; Remus and Danger then duet on "[[Theatre/MissSaigon Last Night of the World]]". [[spoiler:Appropriate, since it ends up being their last night at the London Den.]]
** Luna sings the first verse of "Think of Me" to Draco the day before he leaves for Hogwarts.
* Right before [[spoiler:leaving the London Den for good]], Draco plays a snippet of "[[Theatre/TheMusicMan Goodnight, My Someone]]" on the piano [[spoiler:since they can't take it with them]].
* After being drenched by the cubs while sunbathing:
-->"[[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Of course you know]], ThisMeansWar," [Remus] said, and grabbed Draco.
* '''Remus''': '[[Theatre/MuchAdoAboutNothing Speak, cousin, or if thou canst not, stop his mouth with a kiss and let not him speak neither.]]'
* Chapters 34-37 are titled "Make New Friends", "But Keep the Old", "One Is Silver", and "And the Other's Gold", which are lyrics to the Girl Scout song "Make New Friends".
* A cat whose job is "Vermin Control" at the Ottery St. Catchpole bookstore is named [[Literature/TheChroniclesOfNarnia Aslan]].
* The story Patroclus Nott terrifies his son Theodore with is basically, albeit with some modifications, [[Literature/HarryPotterAndThePhilosophersStone the story of Harry Potter's canon situation with the Dursleys]] -- fittingly, the worst fate a pureblood fanatic could conceive for a pureblood wizard.
** The story ends with a reworked line from ''Philosopher's Stone''.
-->They all disappeared as the train rounded the corner. Harry felt a great leap of excitement, but there was a little tinge of sadness to it. He knew what he was going to -- but it couldn't be better than what he was leaving behind. (''Living with Danger'')
-->Harry watched the girl and her mother disappear as the train rounded the corner. Houses flashed past the window. Harry felt a great leap of excitement. He didn't know what he was going to--but it had to be better than what he was leaving behind. (''Philosopher's Stone'')
* While the Pack-adults are locked up awaiting trial, Aletha sings "[[Theatre/JosephAndTheAmazingTechnicolorDreamcoat Close Every Door]]" to boost Sirius' spirits.
* A rather meta moment in chapter 43:
-->To pass the time, she had taken to rewriting [[spoiler:Sirius']] novels in her head. [[FanFic She found she enjoyed playing with the characters and the worlds he had created.]] Occasionally she would laugh aloud as she came up with a truly enjoyable or memorable moment.\\
''I wish there was some way to save this,'' she thought wistfully. ''Or maybe share it with other Valentina Jett fans...''
* [[spoiler:While the Pack-parents are in lockup awaiting trial]], Sirius starts to belt out "[[Theatre/{{Annie}} Tomorrow]]" before being attacked with pillows.
* The Pack-parents can later be heard singing "[[Theatre/TheSoundOfMusic Edelweiss]]".
* Sirius makes a passing reference to "Owl stretching time", which was a runner-up title for ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus''.
* The night before the cubs head for Hogwarts, Aletha sings "You'll Never Walk Alone" from the musical ''Theatre/{{Carousel}}''.

[[folder:Living Without Danger]]
* '''Hermione''': "[Neenie]'s [[EmbarrassingNickname a baby name]], and we're not babies any more. If you call me that when we get to Hogwarts, I'll... I'll..."\\
'''Harry''': "[[Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus Poke me with the pillows? Or put me in the comfy chair?]]"
* "[[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Ghosts,]]" Neville moaned quietly. "[[Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk Why did it have to be ghosts?]]"
* Anne gets sort of meta again in the second chapter: after a long [[DiscussedTrope discussion about]] {{foreshadowing}} the line about the long-lost cousin is a reference to [[MythologyGag the never-made-it-into-the-books Weasley cousin, Mafalda.]]
* Another meta moment:
-->'''Danger''': "Oh, come on. [[FandomSpecificPlot Harry Potter, Slytherin?]] [[TakeThat Not in this universe.]]"
* Borderline Series/ThePriceIsRight reference:
-->'''Draco''': (announcer voice) "Ronald Weasley, come on back."\\
'''Ron''': (snorts) "[[LampshadeHanging Is that from some Muggle thing again?]]"
* Neville's reaction to the Mirror of Erised is very similar to Harry's in ''Philosopher's Stone'', even the wording:
-->The other boy had both hands flat against the glass now, his nose almost pressed against it, as if he were hoping to fall through it somehow... ("Living Without Danger")
-->The Potters smiled and waved at Harry and he stared hungrily back at them, his hands pressed flat against the glass as though he was hoping to fall right through it and reach them. {"Philosopher's Stone")
* For Christmas 1991, one of Hermione's gifts is a copy of ''Literature/TheOrdinaryPrincess''.
* The Great Hogwarts NoodleIncident, the details of which are never revealed in DV canon, and which, according to Remus, "all started with a comic book, an action figure, and [[ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes a stuffed tiger...]]"
** [[WordOfGod Word of Anne]] is "The action figure and comic book are shout-outs to Stupendous Man and Spaceman Spiff. The stuffed tiger, of course, is Hobbes."
* After defeating a boggart in the chambers the Philosopher's Stone is hidden in, one of the doorways from one chamber to another is located [[Literature/TheLionTheWitchAndTheWardrobe inside a wardrobe]].
** Remus cheers Hermione up after a nightmare by giving her a late-night ride on his Animagus form (a lion). Hermione describes it as "Like Susan and Lucy."
* '''Danger''': (thinking) ''I understand LadyMacbeth [[TheseHandsHaveKilled much better now]]. "[[Theatre/{{Macbeth}} What, will these hands ne'er be clean? Yet here's a spot. All the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand..."]]''
* '''[[spoiler:Godric Gryffindor]]''': "[[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings I charge you all to use these powers always for good, never for evil, but to recall that life is a difficult and a complicated thing. And I remind you not to be too quick to deal out death and judgment, for even the very wise cannot see all ends.]]"
** He gets called out on this shortly afterward, [[spoiler:but states that Tolkien was the one to get the line from him, rather than the other way around.]]
* '''Danger''': (to Remus) "[[Theatre/{{Hamlet}} To arise or not to arise, that is the question...]]"
* '''Danger''': (on [[spoiler:the Founders all wanting her as a secondary Heir'')]] "For a while, I felt like the dress in ''WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty''. Blue, pink, blue, pink..."
* '''Luna''': (to Draco, who has been given a donkey's ears and a lion's mane) "[[Theatre/AMidsummerNightsDream Will you roar so loudly that you fright the ladies?]]"
* '''Harry''': "[[Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet Do you bite your thumb at me, sir?]]"\\
'''Draco''': (to Luna) "Is the law of our side if I say ay?"\\
'''Luna''': "No."\\
'''Draco''': (to Harry) "No, sir, I do not bite my thumb at you, sir, but I bite my thumb, sir."

[[folder:Dealing With Danger]]
* Chapter 3 is titled [[spoiler:"[[Film/EnterTheDragon Exit the Dragon]]"]].
* After Nott has managed to cause a ruckus in class and get it blamed on Draco:
-->"Why would I throw a firework in my own cauldron, though?" protested Draco as he sat down at the table and accepted a mug of tea. "No one would believe that."\\
"Unless someone claimed you were trying to make people think you'd never do that," said Hermione with a sigh, sitting down opposite her brother. "So that you'd done it in a way to make people think you hadn't done it. That's probably what they'd say if we pointed out how stupid it would be for you to have stuck a piece of your own essay to the fireworks, too."\\
Harry groaned. "[[OutGambitted It's as bad as]] [[Film/ThePrincessBride iocaine powder,]]" he said, making Draco and Hermione both laugh.
* After [[spoiler:Frank and Alice are awakened from their insanity ([[http://whydoyouneedtoknow.fanficauthors.net/Chapter_Eleven_and_a_Half/Chapter_Eleven_and_a_Half/ Chapter Eleven and a Half]])]]:
-->'''Danger''': "...Voldemort is still gone."\\
'''[[spoiler:Frank]]''': "[[Series/SaturdayNightLive And Francisco Franco is still dead,]]"
* After being [[spoiler:captured by Lucius Malfoy in DreamLand]]:
-->'''Draco''': "Funny. I know another bunch of people who say things like those. 'ResistanceIsFutile' and all that. And what's funny is, [[YouCantThwartStageOne they may win for a while]], but they always lose in the end. By the end of [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration the program]], [[TheGoodGuysAlwaysWin the good guys beat them every time]]."
* Danger, [[spoiler:mourning her and Remus' inability to have children together]] states that Sirius "could help" with the problem, and that "it's a little inevitable I should think about it, with my name and all." ([[spoiler:[[Theatre/{{Hamlet}} Gertrude being Hamlet's mother, who married her dead husband's brother.]]]])
* After discovering that Luna was sent a a new set of jewelry set with "real fossilized fairy fewmets" (Hermione knows what "fewmets" are (droppings) while the others don't):
-->Moony smiled. "Taught you well, we have," he said in a squeaky voice.\\
"Aren't you a little tall for [[Franchise/StarWars Yoda?]]" asked Hermione critically.
** Danger and Remus:
-->Danger smiled, leaning into Remus’ chest. “I love you.”\\
“I’ve noticed.”\\
She pulled back, looking him over, then shook her head. “You’re not troublesome enough to be Han Solo.”\\
“Thanks, I think.”
* After Harry thinks he's defeated a dementor only to find out it was just a test:
-->Harry's expression had gone from confused to shocked to sullenly fuming. "I'll get you for this," he muttered.\\
Remus raised an eyebrow. "[[Film/TheWizardOfOz And my little dog, too?]]"
* Harry and Hermione discuss Arithmancy homework:
-->"Like a maze, only we can't see the walls. We have to figure out what numbers on the sheet are the next ones in the sequence. Like figuring out what stones are safe to step on next."\\
"[[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade Jehovah begins with an I,]]" intoned Harry, making Hermione laugh.
* [[spoiler:The Longbottoms]] name their new home "[[Literature/TheChroniclesOfNarnia Fireflower]] House".
* After Hermione surprises Draco by swearing:
-->'''Hermione''': (to Draco) "I do when I need to. And I need to now. We have to think... find some way to get out of this—and I do NOT have the time to [[Film/ItsAWonderfulLife play Clarence to your George Bailey]], so knock it off right now!"
* Hermione's Animagus incantation includes, [[BilingualBonus in Latin]], "[[Literature/JustSoStories I am the cat who walks by herself, but not all places are alike to me.]]"
* "[[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994 Let's go home]]," [Hermione] said, holding onto Moony, and seeing out the corner of her eye Padfoot and Letha both hugging Danger in celebration. "[[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994 All of us]]."
** Doubles as a CallBack to Remus saying those same words just before he, Danger, Draco, and Hermione catch the Hogwarts Express back to London, and at several other points throughout the series: the first instance occurred during Chapter 21 of ''Living with Danger''.
* Draco, thinking about [[DreamWeaver dream-sculpting]], muses on trying to sculpt settings from books and movies:
--> [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Hobbiton]], say, or [[Literature/TheJungleBook the jungle where Mowgli lived with his brothers]]. [[Theatre/TheSoundOfMusic Or a large house in Austria...]]
** He then tells Neville, who is practicing with his guitar, that he looks like Captain von Trapp. Neville's response is to call Meghan "Maria"; Luna comes over and the whole group ends up singing "Edelweiss."
* Remus, in a good mood after hearing he has a good chance of winning the custody hearing, plays the opening of "Tradition" from ''Theatre/FiddlerOnTheRoof'' on his violin.
* At their fourteenth birthday party, Harry and Neville are treated to a revue of scenes from ''Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail'' with the roles performed by the other Pack and Pride members. Even Mrs. Weasley enjoys the show.
** The show is repeated on Ginny's birthday, with Harry and Neville taking parts while Ginny spectates.
* After Draco has a rough Defense class with Moody:
-->"So he may be projecting your father onto you, or conflating the two of you—it's even possible that was his idea of a joke. Mad-Eye's sense of humor always was a bit rough. So no, I don't think there's anything wrong with him. Now, why don't you not bother about grabbing your arm anymore and show me you can transfigure it?"\\
Draco rolled his eyes. "I can try."\\
"What am I going to say?"\\
"[[NeverHeardThatOneBefore Yeah, yeah]], [[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack do or do not, whatever, Yoda]]. What happens when you go out to do, but you do not?"\\
Remus whistled a repeated note, which segued into a musical sequence. \\
Draco smiled. "[[Creator/FredAstaire Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again]]," he chanted with the music.
* A TakeThat to a once-common Harry/Draco FandomSpecificPlot:
-->Draco sighed. "For the last time, I do not have veela blood."\\
"Are you sure?"\\
"No, [[FridgeLogic but I don't think my family--my birth family--would have gone in for intermarriage with magical creatures,]] [[FantasticRacism since they were so very interested in keeping the bloodline pure.]]"
* Harry and Remus discuss having no real choice in ''what'' they are and what the world perceives them as (Remus was four when he was bitten, Harry only fifteen months old when Voldemort gave him his scar):
-->"We're not just ''whats''," said Harry. "We're ''whos''."\\
Moony hummed [[Theatre/{{Seussical}} a few notes of a song]], and Harry smacked his leg. "You ''know'' what I mean."\\
"Yes, I do, and you've picked it up exactly. You can't let this grind you down, Harry. You can't let them define who you are, and who you will be. Unless you like their image--Harry Potter, daredevil boy hero, [[Franchise/{{Superman}} faster than a speeding spell, stronger than the Hogwarts Express, able to leap over the castle in a single bound...]]"
* After a rough day in preparation for Remus' custody hearing:
-->'''Danger''': (irritably) "[[Theatre/AsYouLikeIt I would sing my song without a burden.]]"
* The Pack's singing toaster sings "Voi, che sapete" from Theatre/TheMarriageOfFigaro and later an aria from Theatre/{{Carmen}}.
* After [[spoiler:confronting Fenrir Greyback]]:
-->[Danger] rose on her toes and shut her eyes, fighting to banish the hatred and focus on her destination. ''There's no place like home, there's no place like home, there's no place like home,'' she chanted in her head.\\
'''[[Film/TheWizardOfOz You forgot to click your heels]],''' Remus said as everything hurtled away from her and invisible bonds pressed in all around.\\
Danger administered a mental smack.
* When the Pride is discussing the First Task:
-->'''Harry''': "I don't know what I'm going to do. How do you face a girl dragon?"
-->'''Luna''': [[WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}} "You could always dress up as a donkey and make her fall in love with you."]]
* During the custody hearing:
-->Silver smoke geysered from her wand and rapidly coalesced into the shape she'd been hoping for, the shape she'd prayed it would take. [[Literature/TheLionTheWitchAndTheWardrobe She knew at that moment how the Pevensie sisters must have felt on the morning after the most dreadful night ever to occur in Narnia.]]\\
The figure which stood before her was a brightly shining lion.
** Another example, from Moody's last Defense class:
-->A gnarled hand gripped the edge of the desk. "But certain doesn't make it right. And just because you're fighting for good things doesn't mean that everything you do is automatically good."\\
Harry saw out of the corner of his eye Hermione's lips moving, and could have laid a bet on what she was saying. ''[[Literature/TheLastBattle Good done in the name of Tash is still the work of Aslan. Evil done in the name of Aslan is still the work of Tash.]]''
* ''Theatre/JosephAndTheAmazingTechnicolorDreamcoat'' is performed as an auxiliary task of the Triwizard Tournament. Notably, [[spoiler:Cho and Cedric]], respectively, are cast as the Butler and the Baker; the Butler gets a reprieve while [[{{Foreshadowing}} the Baker is executed.]]
* Chapter 46 is titled ''Film/CastAway''.
* During rehearsals for Joseph:
-->"And Joseph, right in the center here." Letha drew a circle on the floor with her wand.\\
Draco stepped into it. "Look, Mum, Theatre/{{the Caucasian Chalk Circle}}."\\
"I'm the director, not your mother, this is [[Creator/AndrewLloydWebber Webber]], not [[Creator/BertoltBrecht Brecht]], and if you can't stay inside your mark any better than you did when you and I blocked this number last night I'll put bars on it ahead of schedule, is that understood?"
* Draco, playing a melody he "composed" meant to invoke "images of Hobbiton and Bag End" (actually "Concerning Hobbits" from ''[[Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheFellowshipOfTheRing The Fellowship of the Ring]]''), amuses himself by setting the rest of the Pride in Tolkien's races. Neville is a hobbit; Ron and Ginny are dwarves; Hermione (studious lady of Gondor), Meghan (shieldmaiden of Rohan), and Harry (Ranger) are human; Draco and Luna are elves.
** Hermione notes that Portkeys are created with the "[[Literature/TheHobbit There-And-Back-Again Spell]]".
* After someone tries to drop the Caanan backdrop on top of Harry during a full dress rehearsal:
-->'''Draco''': "I guess someone thought we were doing ''[[Theatre/ThePhantomOfTheOpera Phantom]]'' instead of ''Joseph''."
* Remus and Danger revisit an old memory of the cubs performing ''Literature/PeterPan'' with Harry on his broomstick.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Facing Danger]]
* Harry is careful to leave the cupboard under the stairs slightly open [[http://whydoyouneedtoknow.fanficauthors.net/Wolfs_Den_Night/Wolfs_Den_Night/ the night he dens at 17 Privet Drive]]:
-->''[[Literature/TheLionTheWitchAndTheWardrobe Because only a fool would shut himself into a cupboard...]]''
** Hermione compares the warded doorway the Pride will have to pass through to rescue Graham--or at least a modeled version--to the Door in the Air from ''Literature/PrinceCaspian''.
** At the Department of Mysteries:
-->[Harry] lifted a foot to step forward, then stopped, a voice from a story rising to the surface of his mind. ''"[[Literature/TheMagiciansNephew Aren't we going to mark this pool?"]]''\\
''Thank you, Creator/CSLewis...''
** As Hermione is [[spoiler:learning to trust again after taking the curse portion of lycanthropy from Ginny so Meghan could stop the disease portion, hugging Remus in lion form]]:
-->"[[Literature/PrinceCaspian Now you are a lioness...]]"
* Sirius converses with Corona Gamp:
-->"You say that the truth is dangerous," Corona murmured, stepping closer to his side. "But I fear neither death nor pain."\\
"What do you fear, then, my lady?" Sirius returned in the same quiet tones.\\
"A cage." Corona's gaze darted about the elegant ballroom as if the windows were barricaded and the doors locked against her leaving. "[[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings To stay behind bars until use and old age accept them, and all chance of valor is gone beyond recall or desire.]]"
** Sirius then lampshades it: "You quote prettily, Mam'selle."
** Hermione gets Sirius a Lothlorien-style leaf-pin fastener for his cloak for Christmas.
* Apparently the "[[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack do or do not]]" thing is a RunningGag among the Pack:
-->"I can certainly try." Danger gently disengaged Meghan and stood up just in time to catch Draco holding his hands above his head like ears. "Don't even start, fox-boy," she said, flicking one of his real ears. "That joke is dead and buried, and [[HoldYourHippogriffs we are not making an Inferius out of it]]."
* Danger coaxes Luna back into the Den by singing "Poor Sweet Baby" from ''[[ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}} Snoopy!!!]]''.
* In Luna's vision, [[spoiler:as she weeps over what seems to be Draco's grave, a man who seems to be Lucius Malfoy comes, wearing a half-mask, and sings to her from ''Theatre/ThePhantomOfTheOpera''.]]
* Harry and Hermione discuss how they're going to get to Headquarters:
-->'''[[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail Thou shalt not use the Floo Network, nor shalt thou use the Knight Bus, save when going away from Headquarters,]]''' Neenie said in a silly voice. '''Portkeys are right out.'''\\
Harry chuckled. "One, two, Portkey."\\
'''Three, sire.'''\\
"Whatever. So what can we use?"
** This bit gets reused later on:
--->"Right." Draco stopped at the door. "So where should I go, then?"\\
"Thou shalt not go through the other common rooms," said [[spoiler:Anne]] sententiously, "nor shalt thou go through the hospital wing. The Headmaster's office is right out!"
** Another bit, later on (one of the dirtiest bits Anne has ever written, for those who can complete the reference):
-->Remus shut the door quietly, so as not to disturb the sleepers. '''For that, you get a spanking.'''\\
'''But I haven't even lit the Grail-shaped beacon!'''\\
'''You deserve it anyway.'''\\
'''Fine. And after the spankings–'''\\
'''Don't finish that sentence.'''\\
'''Oh, so you don't like it anymore?'''\\
Remus' reply to this was graphic, specific, and would have given the cubs nightmares for months.
** Another example has Hermione threatening to turn her bickering brothers into newts.
** Percy, seeking to create a gateway only Muggles would know how to enter, has a mockup of the Bridge of Death complete with the wizened old man with three questions and getting catapulted off the bridge if you don't answer correctly.
* [[spoiler:Remus repeats Gryffindor's bit of Tolkien when releasing the block on Harry's Gryffindor fire-powers.]]
* The morning of Aletha and Sirius' magical wedding:
-->29 August dawned bright, warm, and musical.\\
''I'm getting married in the morning,''\\
''Ding-dong, the bells are gonna chime...''\\
[Aletha] paused a moment, as if thinking how to change the song to fit her situation better.\\
''Boys, come and kiss me,''\\
''Show how you'll miss me,''\\
''[[Theatre/MyFairLady But get me down the stairs on time!]]''
* The first open anti-Umbridge prank:
-->Then the doors of the Great Hall burst open with a very dramatic chord.\\
Three hundred heads turned as one.\\
"[[Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus Nobody expects the Hogwarts Inquisition!" shouted a small, plump, heavily-made-up figure in hot pink robes, swishing into the Hall. "Our main weapon is surprise, surprise and double-talk--two, our two main weapons are double-talk and surprise, surprise and double-talk, and an almost fanatical devotion to the current administration--three, our three main weapons are surprise, double-talk, an almost fanatical devotion to the current administration, and our pretty pink Alice bands--ah spit.]]"\\
It turned and sashayed out of the Hall, and the doors slammed shut behind it.
* After it turns out every student [[spoiler:save for Harry, who isn't supposed to be there anyway]] is present and accounted for, [=McGonagall=] wonders:
-->''[[Radio/TheLoneRanger Who was that mysterious woman, anyway?]]''
* Ginny and Harry in the Hogwarts Den after the prank:
-->The kettle whistled. Harry picked it up and filled the cups. "Here you are," he said, carrying the cups to the table by their saucers. "Take your pick."\\
"Well..." Ginny opened her eyes and grinned at him. [[Film/ThePrincessBride "I'm not a great fool," she said in a nasal voice, "so I can clearly not choose the tea in front of you. But you must have known I was not a great fool; you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the tea in front of me..."]]\\
Harry laughed. "Just don't chase me around going 'Umbridge, Umbridge, Umbridge'," he said, setting down one of the teacups in front of her.\\
"Don't worry, I won't." Ginny picked up her tea and blew on it. "You're not Miracle Max anyway."\\
"Who am I, then? Westley?"\\
"Maybe. Or maybe you're Inigo Montoya."\\
Harry laughed. "I can see it now," he said. "I walk up to Voldemort, and..." He set down his tea and stood up, adopting a [[DashingHispanic Spanish accent and a heroic pose.]] "JustForFun/{{Hello}}. [[MyNameIsInigoMontoya My name is Harry Potter.]] [[YouKilledMyFather You killed my father. And my mother.]] PrepareToDie."
* Chapter 12 is titled "[[Music/TheBeatles Help, I Need Somebody]]"
* Peeves mocks Umbridge with a very familiar song:
-->"There she is!" Peeves shouted, swooping down from his place near the ceiling. "Ugly Umbridge!"\\
''Calm, Dolores. Remain calm. His insults have no power over you.''\\
An eyepatch materialized on his face, a huge captain's hat on his head, and a mismatched and tattered outfit on his body. "Oooooooh," the poltergeist sang, off-key.\\
''Who lives in our castle although she's no good?''\\
''[[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants Ugly Umbridge!]]''
* Ron deduces there's still a problem with the plan to rescue Graham Pritchard [[spoiler:(getting Graham himself out through the very small hole in the ward around where he's being kept)]]:
-->"Problem, what problem?" Harry struck a heroic pose. "[[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994 I laugh in the face of problems.]]"
** Chapter 40 is titled "A Matter of Pride".
* After Ron uses one of the Twins' prototypes to [[spoiler: hang Umbridge from the Astronomy Tower]]:
--> George reached out and patted Ron’s shoulder. [[Film/{{Babe}} “Tha’ll do, Ron,” he said in a ridiculously thick accent. “Tha’ll do.”]]
* Chapter 15 is titled "[[Series/SesameStreet Cooperation Makes It Happen]]."
* Chapter 16 is titled "[[WesternAnimation/VeggieTales Did He Just Say it's Time?]]."
* After the Pride rescues Graham Pritchard:
-->"—ran circles around them, and the best part is, they have no idea who it was!" Danger waved a hand in the air, giggling as though she and not Hermione were the younger of the sisters. "We could take credit for it, or some Aurors who've done work off the books—"
-->"Even better," Sirius broke in. "Spread around four or five different stories. It was us, it was Aurors, it was real animals on some kind of intelligence potion the Department of Mysteries dreamed up, it was animals under Imperius by other Death Eaters making a power play, it was [[Literature/{{Animorphs}} shape-shifting American kids playing superhero—"]]
* Harry and Ginny have another discussion in the Hogwarts Den:
-->"Knut for your thoughts." Ginny's voice broke into his ramblings, and suddenly Harry knew exactly what he was going to say, and how.\\
"[[Film/JerryMaguire Show me the money]]," he said.
* Aletha and Tonks discuss child-rearing:
-->'''Aletha''': "You spend years of your life on these ungrateful brats, [[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade and just when they finally start to get interesting, they leave!]]"
* This may be stretching it, but due to slightly awkward wording, "Weasleys can [[MemeticMutation do all the things]]" may qualify.
* Draco, after hearing of [[spoiler:his father escaping from Azkaban--'''[[CardboardPrison again]]''']]:
-->''I dreamed of being a Slytherin once. Of being the person I would have been, if nothing had ever changed. Draco Malfoy, and proud of it.''\\
''I'm Draco still, and proud of who I am...''\\
Half a smile made it onto his face. ''[[Music/MeatLoaf Two out of three. Not bad.]]''
* Shortly after the above moment, Draco is able to witness Alex being serenaded by [[spoiler:Anne]]:
-->'''[[spoiler:Anne]]''': ''[[Theatre/AidaJohnRice Don't come on so cocksure, boy / You can't escape your genes...]]''
* The Pride's last prank on Umbridge is a big one, involving [[WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs seven toilets singing "Heigh-Ho."]]
* As the Pride flee the Room of Requirement with Umbridge closing in:
-->"Someone is not here," Luna said, turning a little to get a different vantage point of the inside of the door, though Harry knew she was looking through it at the people on the other side. "Betrayed and not betrayed, tricked and not tricked, the black swan is fallen from the sky..."\\
"The black swan," Ginny repeated under her breath. "[[Theatre/SwanLake There's a ballet, with a sorcerer's daughter...]]"
* [=McGonagall=] makes reference to the "Danegeld", which was a tax raised to pay tribute to the Viking raiders to save a land from being ravaged, and also the subject of a poem by Creator/RudyardKipling, "Dane-Geld".
* Danger quotes Theatre/TwelfthNight: "'Did you ever see the picture of "We Three"?'"
** Another Theatre/TwelfthNight reference:
-->"O Time, thou must untangle this, not I," Mrs. Danger murmured. "It is too hard a knot for me t'untie."
* Aletha and new History of Magic teacher Hestia Jones reference the "Argument Clinic" sketch from ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'':
-->Professor Jones huffed. "Look, I came here for an argument!"\\
Mama Letha smiled. "And isn't that exactly what you're getting?"\\
The Pride snickered.\\
"[[LampshadeHanging All right, enough silly quoting.]]"
* Ryan and [=LadyChi=] of Podcast/PotterFicWeekly have {{expy}}s at Hogwarts. The "Silly Duel" between them is full of references to memorable incidents discussed on the podcast.
** Ryan's {{expy}} getting drenched in hot apricot preserves was something Anne promised to do during her PFW interview.
* Chapter 37 begins with something else mentioned in the aforementioned interview: a character named William Robinson, created solely for a scene where he would be introduced to Danger:
-->"Will, this is Gertrude Granger-Lupin, but she always goes by Danger. [[Series/LostInSpace Danger, Will Robinson.]]"
* Harry and Lee discuss Maya [[spoiler:and what will become the second Pride]]:
-->Lee pulled a scrap of parchment from his pocket. "Well, I've got a little list..."\\
"[[Theatre/TheMikado And they'll none of them be missed]], right?"\\
"What?"\\
"Never mind."
* After a slightly flirty exchange between Harry and Maya:
-->Ginny humphed, stomping over and standing between Maya and Harry. “Can’t I turn my back for three seconds without you flirting with some hot werewolf?” she demanded.\\
Harry blinked. For a split-second, and [[ActorAllusion for no reason he could fathom]], [[Literature/TheTwilightSaga he’d thought of Cedric Diggory]].
* Chapter 42 ([[Literature/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy heh]]) is titled "[[WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} A Whole New World]]".
** The first portion of the chapter even centered around George taking his girlfriend (who is dressed in a harem-girl outfit) out on a flying carpet! (Well, technically a broomstick, but still.) With half the Pride actually singing the song!
* George's Muggle girlfriend finds out magic is real:
-->"Magic is real?" Crystal knew it was at least the tenth time she'd asked the same question, but it wasn't one she wanted to leave open for debate. "Unicorns and dragons and wizards?"\\
[[Film/TheWizardOfOz "Oh my," George agreed with a snicker.]]
* A rather meta example:
--> "My name is Maya Pritchard, and in January I [[Literature/HarryPotterAndThePhilosophersStone did something very brave and very stupid...]]"
* Chapter 44 is titled "[[Theatre/{{Macbeth}} When the Battle's Lost and Won]]."
* Another rather meta moment:
-->'''Percy:''' What are you doing here?\\
'''Ginny:''' [[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheChamberOfSecrets Rescuing you, of course.]]
* [[spoiler:Ron--a redheaded young man, newly blinded with bandages over his eyes, later to receive strange new abilities to make up for his sight... [[Comicbook/{{Daredevil}} there's something very familiar about this...]] Unintentional, according to [[WordOfGod Word of Anne]], but still fun.]]
* Crystal lends Percy a copy of ''Literature/TheScarletPimpernel''. He picks up a few things from it.
* Yet another meta moment:
-->"[...]Dadfoot's stories were always about us. The Pack. [[TransplantedCharacterFic He gave us different names and faces and put us different places and times, but we were always there.]]"
* This may have been inadvertent (subconscious at best), but...
-->Masked wizard, swinging up a wand. Fire. Muggle child bending to pick a flower. Hold. House-elf, hands raised in spellcasting motions. Fire. [[Film/MenInBlack Teenage girl with braided hair, eyes glinting disconcertingly as they focused on him—]]
* Chapter 48's title, "Bind Up the Brokenhearted", references Isaiah 61:1:
-->The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to ''bind up the brokenhearted'', to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the blind... ([[http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah%2061:1&version=NIV New International Version]])
** Appropriately, this is the chapter in which Mrs. Weasley sets the stage for [[spoiler:Ron to come out of his self-pity cocoon over losing his sight.]]
* The titles of Chapters 49 and 50, "What Once Was Lost" and "What Now Is Found" reference "Amazing Grace". [[spoiler:What was lost and is now found, you ask? In this case, the elder Heir of Ravenclaw--turns out Meghan's Ravenclaw Healing powers come from Aletha's side of the family.]]
* Danger and [[spoiler:a memory-wiped Aletha]] meet up in DreamLand [[spoiler:and discover that Aletha kept at least some memories of her former self]]:
-->"[...]Because we were both still wounded, still torn apart, when we came together, we healed as one, not two. Which makes it sound like a horror movie, like Dr. Frankenstein–"\\
"[[Film/YoungFrankenstein Frawn-kun-steen,]]" Mare corrected under her breath, then frowned.
* The "colors song" from ''[[Theatre/JosephAndTheAmazingTechnicolorDreamcoat Joseph]]'' becomes a plot point when [[spoiler:Aletha uses its final word, "blue", to tell her memory-wiped self "Mare" that she had stored a copy of her memories within one of her Pack-pendants' blue jewels.]]
* A moment borrowed from the ''[[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheOrderOfThePhoenix Order of the Phoenix]]'' [[Film/HarryPotter movie]]:
-->A hand clamped down on [Lucius'] shoulder and squeezed, breaking his grip on Danger and turning him to face its owner.\\
"Get away from my sister," said Sirius Black coldly, and punched Lucius in the face.
* Draco briefly imitates [[Literature/{{Discworld}} an Igor]] when Harry orders him to help pack.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Surpassing Danger]]
* After Peeves takes advantage of Draco and Luna hiding in a Vanishing Cabinet (unknown to him, sending them to its mate at Borgin and Burkes, as seen in ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheHalfBloodPrince''), Draco -- lampshading that Danger would smack him if she heard -- makes the obvious reference:
-->"Luna..." Draco pointed a thumb at the sliver of light. "[[Film/TheWizardOfOz I have a feeling we're not at Hogwarts anymore.]]"
* Danger briefly references the possibility of [[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheChamberOfSecrets falling out of the wrong fireplace]] as a reason for why Harry Potter would be anywhere near Borgin and Burkes.
* Chapter 8, "[[WebVideo/PotterPuppetPals The Mysterious Ripping Noise]]," begins with Draco having taught Peeves "[[Music/HermansHermits I'm Henry VIII I Am]]" in gratitude for letting them know about the Vanishing Cabinet. The rest of the Pride is less than pleased.
* Chapter 8 also has Ron and Hermione dressing, respectively, as [[Series/TheAvengers1960s John Steed and Emma Peel]]. Using costumes made of [[DuctTapeForEverything Fred and George's latest invention]], no less.
** Chapter 9 includes:
*** Sirius and Aletha as [[Theatre/AidaJohnRice Radames and Aida]]
*** Seamus as [[Franchise/TheMuppets Kermit]] (lamenting his inability to find a Miss Piggy [[Series/SesameStreet and dressed as a reporter]])
*** Harry as TheBigBadWolf with Ginny as Literature/LittleRedRidingHood
*** Draco as Literature/FantasticMrFox with Luna as [[Literature/{{Matilda}} Matilda Wormwood]]
*** Roger and Selena as [[Franchise/ToyStory Woody and Bo Peep]] (with little Zach as one of the sheep)
*** Dumbledore as [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Gandalf the Grey]]
*** George's girlfriend Crystal as [[Series/TheAddamsFamily "a homicidal maniac... they dress just like everybody else."]]
*** Terry Boot and Su Li as [[Literature/TheTalesOfBeedleTheBard Sir Luckless and Amata]]. Professor Sprout shows up dressed as Babbitty Rabbitty.
*** Daphne Greengrass as [[Literature/TheOdyssey Circe]] (who even turns Zacharias Smith into a pig (he gets better)
*** Neville and Meghan as [[Comicbook/XMen Professor X and Storm]]
*** Percy as Literature/TheScarletPimpernel.
* Chapter 16 contains a brief reference to ''Series/DoctorWho'' during a discussion of "wizardspace":
--> "[[BiggerOnTheInside Bigger on the inside than the outside]]." Harry grinned briefly. "And it's not even a police box."
** A small object on Dumbledore's desk shaped like a blue police box with a pointed top, announces imminent arrivals to the headmaster's office.
* Chapter 17's title, "[[Literature/TheLionTheWitchAndTheWardrobe Deep Magic]]". [[spoiler: When meeting with a pair of goblins at Gringotts, Harry described the magic they see on him and Ginny as "‘Deep magic from before the dawn of time.’"]]
* Chapter 22's title: [[Theatre/LesMiserables "Turning Through The Years"]]
* Chapter 23: [[spoiler:When Harry, Hermione, and Draco are stealing the Hufflepuff Cup from Gringotts]]:
-->[[spoiler:[[WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} "Like the Cave of Wonders,"]] [Hermione] said, drawing her wand. "Only it's not a lamp we're after, it's a cup. Do you see it anywhere?"]]
* Chapter 25's title, "No Greater Love" is a reference to John 15:13, which Sirius quotes in Chapter 26:
-->Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. ([[http://kingjbible.com/john/15.htm=KJV King James Version]])
* Chapter 27 ("[[Literature/TheVoyageOfTheDawnTreader And He Almost Deserved It]]") includes a reference to ''Theatre/TheSoundOfMusic''.
-->"Let us start at the very beginning."
-->"A very good place to start," Draco murmured, unable to stop himself.
* Chapter 36, after [[spoiler:Graham Pritchard's death]]:
-->[Meghan] sighed deeply, her momentary good mood sliding away. "I just wish it hadn't had to happen like this."\\
"[[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings So do all who live to see such times]]," Neville quoted softly. "But that is not for them to decide."
* Chapter 45: It's revealed that Snape is familiar enough with the Weasley Twins and their antics to have invented a specific counterspell. The incantation (''[[GratuitousLatin Quod illud unde esset posuit, ita me iuvent]]'') translates as "[[WesternAnimation/MonstersInc Put that thing back where it came from or so help me]]."
* Chapter 46's AwesomeMomentOfCrowning: Apparently strange people, living under ponds, distributing swords ''is'' [[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail a basis for a system of government]]!
* Chapter 47 features a nod to one of Anne's original stories from back in the heyday of DV's online fandom:
-->(after Crystal has thrown Fred--in Animagus form--into the faces of several Death Eaters) "The Flinging of the Fox," [Fred] informed their stiffened figures cheerfully. "It's a classic for a reason."
* Chapter 54:
-->"Be careful out there." Ginny claimed her broom, and a quick kiss on the cheek, from Ron, before pulling Harry into a brief, tight embrace. "I love you."\\
"[[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack I know.]]" Harry winked at her, then mounted the Firebolt and kicked off.
* Chapter 59:
-->'''[[spoiler:Draco:]]''' "They said, always remember to have faith and trust. [[WesternAnimation/PeterPan But not pixie dust, because that's just silly]], and besides, you're not a pixie. You're a pirate."
* Chapter 67:
-->'''[[spoiler:Dumbledore:]]''' "I believe I shall make it a stipulation that all incoming classes of first-years must watch two other students quarrelling over [[WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty whether my robes should be blue or pink]], and have a prefect nearby to note which of them will require Remedial Muggle Studies…"
** Later in that same chapter:
--->[[Literature/PeterPan "To live," he said, regarding the star-studded sky overhead, "has been a very great adventure indeed."]]
* Chapter 68: For his birthday, [[spoiler:Snape]] sends Sirius a set of enchanted ceramic figurines:
-->"[[WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs Hi-ho, hi-ho, it's 'round the school we go, till Sirius Black comes and brings us back, hi-ho, hi-ho…]]"
* The epilogue has a couple of them:
** The place the Pack and Pride (and their descendants) create to establish a bridge between Muggles and Wizards is called Camelot, much like in ''Vivens cum Pericula''.
** Sirius mentions he put a prank in Camelot, one that still remains around: an arch that says "[[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail Welcome to Camelot, 'tis a silly place]]" and that changes people's clothes into medieval style for five minutes.
** Harry's meta ShoutOut about the Founders writing fanfiction, bringing up a reference to the (in)famous fanfiction ''Naked Quidditch Match''.

[[folder: Other DV ]]

[[folder:Much Ado]]
* [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin As the title implies]], this story, which takes place before Lily and James' death kicks things off, involves getting Sirius and Aletha, who are in a "merry war" [[Theatre/MuchAdoAboutNothing similar to Benedick and Beatrice]], to admit their feelings for one another. This plot is inspired by the fact that Remus has been reading the play in his spare time.
* Also:

[[ShoutOut/ToShakespeare Even if that is a different play.]]

[[folder:Heads I Win, Tails You Lose]]

[[/folder]]

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Dangerverse AU ]]

[[folder:True Colors]]
* Harry's cupboard under the stairs is [[Series/DoctorWho bigger on the inside]].
* Dumbledore apparently uses the code-name ''Mithrandir'', [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Gandalf's]] Sindarin name, used in Gondor and meaning "Grey Pilgrim" or "Grey Wanderer" (mith "grey" + randir "pilgrim, wandering man").
** [[spoiler:References to "Arthur" refer to Harry, "[[Literature/TheOnceAndFutureKing the little king in hiding]]".]]
** [[spoiler:References to "Ralph" refer to Ray, for Ralph Rackstraw, the switched baby from Theatre/HMSPinafore--"Danger picked that one out after Hermione came to us, because she considers herself as Ray's [[RunningGag sister or his cousin but in actuality she's his aunt]].".]]
* Possibly another meta-moment:
-->'''Hagrid''': "Yeh either hated Danger or yeh loved her. An' a lot o' people thought they'd hate her when they heard about her, an' when they met her they loved her. Funny world, isn't it?"
* Harry anticipates finding out [[spoiler:the truth behind Zelda:]]
-->[[spoiler:Zelda was a human in animal form, Ray's]] sister or his cousin or his aunt...\\
Harry thumped his head against the pillow. ''I should never have listened to that recording of Theatre/HMSPinafore.''
* A twofer as Ray and [[spoiler:Zelda]] plan something:
-->'''Ray''': "This is where [[Film/ANewHope you beg me to help you, because I'm your only hope]], right?"\\
'''[[spoiler:Zelda]]''': "[[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Just call me Princess.]]"
* From the epilogue:
-->Luna leaned back against Ray, one hand absently stroking her Gryffindor crest. "Malfoy really should have known better than to try to keep [[spoiler:your dad]] around," she murmured. "After all, [[Literature/TheLionTheWitchAndTheWardrobe it's not like he's]] a ''tame'' lion."
[[/folder]]

[[folder:That Which Does Not Kill Us]]
* [[spoiler:Remus, who apparently died in the Battle of Hogwarts, makes reference to passing through "the river of Lethe". This is a reference both to Myth/ClassicalMythology, as the Lethe was one of the four rivers of Hades, as well as ''[[Literature/TheDivineComedy Paradiso]]'', in which the waters of the river--which induce forgetfulness--erase the memories of one's former life.]]
* It's implied that Harry has been journeying through Potterverse FanFic for the past few months.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Truth Amid the Lies]]
* Chapter 1: It is revealed that (at least in the Dangerverse) James' full name is James ''[[EmbarrassingMiddleName Tiberius]]'' Potter. He might have been fine with it if not for "[[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries that awful Muggle television program...]]"
** Nitpicker's note: Kirk's middle name was first mentioned in the semi-canon [[WesternAnimation/StarTrekTheAnimatedSeries animated series]] (1973-1974), and confirmed in ''[[Film/StarTrekVITheUndiscoveredCountry Star Trek VI]]'' (1991).
* In Chapter 4, the line quoted by Danger is actually from [[Literature/HarryPotterAndThePhilosophersStone a book that really should not exist in this universe]].
-->"It was getting dark. He could see mountains and forests under a deep purple sky..."
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Vivens cum Pericula]]
* The title is a [[BilingualBonus literal Latin translation]] of "Living with Danger"; fittingly, Danger has taken the name "Pericula" in this world.
* When Pericula and Narcissa meet for the first time:
-->'''Narcissa''': "Did she sit like Patience on a monument?"\\
'''Pericula''': "[[Theatre/TwelfthNight Smiling at grief?]]"
* When Pericula and Remus meet for the first time:
-->Have you been working for the Malfoys long?"\\
"Not terribly. I came to them in June."\\
"[[Literature/MaryPoppins Blown in by the east wind, and only to stay until it changes?]]"\\
Peri laughed. "Something like that, but without the black hair."
* Pericula "divines" Remus' lycanthropy:
-->"I see a word," Peri intoned. "[[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent A word with eight letters...]] [[Film/YoungFrankenstein a word that asks a question]], a question that many fear the answer to..."
** Later in that same scene:
--->'''Pericula''': (deepening her voice) "There wolf. There castle."\\
'''Aletha''': “Why are you talking like that?"\\
'''Remus''': *jumps and bangs his head*\\
'''Pericula''': "I thought you wanted to." *kisses her fingertips and brushes them across the injured portion of Remus' head*\\
'''Aletha''': "No, I don't want to. Are you all right, Remus?"\\
'''Remus''': "Fine." *strangled voice, simultaneously rubbing his head and trying to hide his [[LuminescentBlush brilliantly pink face]]*\\
'''Pericula''': "Suit yourself, I'm easy."
* Pericula and Dumbledore (I'm starting to notice a pattern here) meet for the first time, and Pericula explains how she came to be in her present predicament:
-->"I was married once," she said. "And very happily married. I had a family I loved dearly and good friends. And then, through a strange series of events, I was given the chance to make their lives immeasurably better if I would simply walk away from them. It was not a trick, not a game, but a real offer. And I took it."\\
"[[Theatre/{{Hamlet}} More things in heaven and on earth, Horatio?]]"\\
"Yes, that's it exactly."
* Chapter 6 has a threefer:
-->"And I like seeing you, and Ray. But I could do without the Spanish Inquisition..." He closed his eyes, hearing her quick intake of breath. "I shouldn't have said that, should I?"\\
"[[Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!]]" Peri whisper-shouted, grinning madly. Her face relaxed into gentler lines. "I'm sorry. Once again, my astounding lack of tact surfaces as my distinguishing characteristic. One of these days they're going to collar me as a medical specimen—human born entirely without tact. [[Film/TheWizardOfOz I'll go right between the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman.]]"\\
Ray came around to them and spouted a long string of consonants, pointing at the fountain.\\
"You want a penny to throw in?" Remus asked, rattling his pocket.\\
Ray nodded hard.\\
"Well, I may be a bit stretched at the moment..."\\
"[[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Like butter scraped over too much bread,]]" Peri put in.
** Remus hangs a rather large lampshade on her tendency to quote or reference various things.
* This is also the chapter where Remus, Peri, Sirius, and Aletha come up with the concept for Theatre/{{Camelot}}, the [[FunWithAcronyms Center for All to Magically Explore the Lifestyles of Others Today]]--basically a place for Muggles and magicals to explore each other's worlds.
* Shortly afterward:
-->"So, King Arthur," said Peri lightly as she and Remus walked down the street, hand in hand. "Will you start a Round Table in your court at Camelot?"\\
"Indeed I will. And [[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail the knights will dance whene'er they're able.]]"
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Lord Voldemort and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day]]
* The title is a reference to "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day"
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Maybe]]
* Starting with the obvious: the title is a reference to a song from the musical ''Theatre/{{Annie}}'', in which the eponymous little orphan muses over the note her parents left with her when she was left on the doorstep of the orphanage, sure they're still out there, wondering what they're like, and hoping they'll come back for her.
* Chapter 3, showing what seems to be a RunningGag among the Pack in full:
-->"Come on, Pearl," he whispered to her once they were safe in their bedroom. "No crying now. Time to be brave."\\
Meghan wiped her eyes and sniffled hard. "I'll try."\\
Draco held his hands behind his head as if they were pointed ears. [[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack "Do or do not," he said in a high-pitched voice. "There is no try."]]
* Danger muses on what the "one impossible thing" accomplished via her wild magic might be:
-->''Everyone's expecting something to happen at the trial.'' She smiled sweetly. ''And pranksters' rule number one is: never, ever, do what they expect.''\\
''[[Series/{{Jeopardy}} Let's make it a true déjà vu, Alex...]]''\\
Danger smacked herself mentally. ''[[LampshadeHanging Too much American television, girl.]]''
* Chapter 9: Remus tells a story about how the Pack came to be, finishing thusly:
-->'''Remus''': "And so the Pack lived, and thrived, and the cubs grew strong and brave, and even when the hunters came and captured and separated them, the Pack found one another again. [[Literature/TheJungleBook For the strength of the Pack is the wolf...]]"\\
'''Hermione''': "[[Literature/TheJungleBook And the strength of the wolf is the Pack.]]"
* Meghan, in Neville's greenhouse (and no, that is ''not'' what they're calling it these days):
-->"Rosemary," Meghan murmured. "[[Theatre/{{Hamlet}} That's for remembrance. Pray you, love, remember.]]"
* Chapter 10: Anne gets meta again:
-->Miss Anderson smiled at him. "[[Film/HarryPotter You're a wizard, Harry.]]"
* Chapter 11, inevitably:
-->"May I ask you something?"\\
"Of course."\\
"I've always wondered—what were you thinking the day I told you? What went through your mind?"\\
Aletha nodded. "My first reaction was probably fear," she said. "That and surprise..."\\
"[[Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus Our two main weapons are fear and surprise," interrupted Remus, "surprise and fear, and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope, three, our three main weapons...]]"
* Chapter 12 appears to have a TakeThat to the Manipulative!Dumbledore FandomSpecificPlot:
-->Albus Dumbledore was enjoying himself.\\
It wasn’t often he got to be honestly manipulative.\\
In most situations, of course, he didn't want to be manipulative. Even if he thought he knew what was best, and even if he turned out to be right (as was the case an overwhelming majority of the time), it was still his policy, most of the time, to give advice and guidance, then step back and let events happen unless he took part overtly. Besides being ethically correct, it was in general more entertaining.
* Chapter 13 mentions a pub called [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings the Green Dragon]]...
* Chapter 14, after beating Curcio:
-->Remus reclaimed his chain and tucked it away under his shirt. [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994 "Let's go home," he said. "All of us."]]
* In the same chapter, Remus is heard to utter "Numerus stultorum infinitus est." This is the Latin Vulgate translation of Ecclesiastes 1:15: "Infinite is the number of fools."
* The universe Curcio tries to send Danger to (and thus erase her from existence) is the canon universe as of the end of ''[[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheOrderOfThePhoenix Order of the Phoenix]]''. It terrifies her.
* Word of Anne is that it wasn't deliberate, but with only a few minor modifications, the end of "Maybe" could segue just fine into "Living Without Danger"--the endings of "Maybe" and "Living with Danger" line up perfectly:
-->"Seems like some things are just meant to be," said Draco with satisfaction, sitting back in his seat. "Bertie Bott's, anyone?"
[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Witch of the Westmoreland]]
* Okay, again, let's start with the obvious. The fic is inspired by [[http://www.lyrics007.com/Stan%20Rogers%20Lyrics/Witch%20Of%20The%20Westmoreland%20Lyrics.html the folk song of the same name]].
* The aftermath includes Sirius deciding to become an author under [[Creator/JKRowling a pen name]] and writing [[Literature/HarryPotter a series of books based on the world that might have been]] (releasing the books into the Muggle world along the same timeline as the books in real life).
* The follow-up, ''Coming Home'' seems to take place in the canon universe, [[spoiler:but it turns out that Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Draco have been playing their way through ''Deathly Hallows'' "in game mode", tricked by Death Eaters into thinking the books told the story of their actual lives. After passing from the end of DH into a world with obstacles very much like those in "[[Literature/TheTalesOfBeedleTheBard The Fountain of Fair Fortune]]," they emerge back in their own world.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Returnverse]]
* Once again, obviousness: the title of the first story, "The Point of No Return", is also the title of a song from ''Theatre/ThePhantomOfTheOpera'', which is referenced throughout.
* Russell's Animagus form is a raven. His Marauder name is "[[Literature/{{Discworld}} Quoth]]".
[[/folder]]

[[folder:A Little Slice of Heaven]]
* Danger (and the other Marauders) get Remus a first-edition, first printing copy of Literature/TheSilmarillion as a Christmas gift.
* [[spoiler:After their capture by (and during their escape from) Death Eaters, Sirius and Aletha run into a figure in black robes and a white mask. Aletha asks [[Film/ANewHope "Aren't you a little short for a Death Eater?"]] It turns out to be Evanie.]]
* Chapter 14/15:
-->'''Danger:''' '''What's on your so-called mind?'''\\
'''Remus:''' '''[[Literature/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy1 Life. The universe. Everything.]]'''\\
'''Danger:''' '''[[Literature/SoLongAndThanksForAllTheFish So long, and thanks for all the fish.]]'''\\
Remus chuckled. '''That too.'''
* Chapter 16/17 has the establishment of a new office in the Beast Division of the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures decided to open a new office in cooperation with the DMLE. The officers, mostly old Aurors not ready to retire, become known as [[VideoGame/PacMan PAC-men]] (short for "[[FunWithAcronyms Prevention of Animal Cruelty]]")

[[folder: Dangerverse Crossovers ]]

[[folder:Who You Gonna Call?]]
* To call this fic a crossover is debatable--it's one long ShoutOut to Franchise/{{Ghostbusters}}, with [[spoiler:Voldemort apparently liking Harry's astral-projection ability so much, he decides to try it for himself. He seeks out Harry at Headquarters and HilarityEnsues.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:He Nearly Killed the Cat]]
* The title of course being a reference to "Literature/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows"
* The crossover is between the Dangerverse and one of Anne's own original ideas, ''Legendbreakers''.
* During the Rite of Sealing, Nennie quotes Creator/AAMilne:
-->'''Neenie''': "I'll get you 'a little bit of butter to your bread' as soon as you have your drink, King dear."
* Neenie discusses the Chroniclers and the Chronicled Worlds:
-->"Around here, the people that we used to call writers or authors are usually called Chroniclers, because they're the ones who see what's going on in the worlds and write it down, chronicle it. The most skilled Chroniclers can just look out into nothingness, into the void, and see a brand-new world that no one ever saw before. But a lot of the less skilled ones, the newer ones, [[FanFic take a shortcut, especially when they're learning their trade.]]"\\
"That makes sense." Fox bit an extra-large chunk of pineapple in half. "What is it they do?"\\
"They focus on an existing world, and a question. Usually a what-if question. What if Literature/{{Cinderella}}'s slipper didn't fit? What if [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Hercules]] failed at one of his labors? [[Literature/SixteenThirtyTwo What if a bunch of modern Americans turned up in the middle of the Thirty Years' War?]]"\\
"Tell me that last one's a joke."\\
"Not even. Going off the rails a bit, if you ask me, but nobody did. In any case."
* This is quite possibly Anne's most meta work to date--there is even discussion of how the Dangerverse was supposed to be a fluffy AU (Word of Anne has it at eleven chapters with a TimeSkip) that took on a life of its own.
* Other Legendbreakers are versions of various fictional characters--the ones we've met so far are based on fantasy characters:
** Suzie is a version of [[Literature/TheChroniclesOfNarnia Susan Pevensie]].
** Eve is a version of [[Literature/HarryPotter Lily Evans]].
** Lin and Nima are versions of MerlinAndNimue.
* After rescuing Remus from the Reality Cops:
-->"Yes, but we can't possibly be safe yet." Remus turned away to hide both what he was doing and his smile of satisfaction about it. ''Sometimes, balance comes in ways we never imagined. Such as the coincidence of an unexpected sight and a familiar phrase.'' "We're missing the most important things."\\
"We are?" Neenie asked from behind him, sounding worried. "What do you mean?"\\
''If I'm going to go mad, I may as well go mad with style.''\\
Remus turned to face her and, with great dignity, draped the bright red bath sheet he had conjured around her shoulders. Reynard was presented with a gold one, and Remus displayed his own, with its prominent Gryffindor lion, before twisting it into a rope and tying it around his waist. "''Now'' we're safe," he said with satisfaction. "[[Literature/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy We have our towels.]]"
** Remus leaves a note for the James and Sirius of that world:
-->''P.S. The answer is 42. Now find the question.''
* Fox puts the younger Draco into the "True Colors" universe.
* Neenie's mentors discuss how Legendbreakers work:
-->"Legendbreakers work in the shadows," Eve's voice murmured in Neenie's memory. "We do our best work in the unChronicled moments and the indeterminate times. Or if not, if we have to come into the open, we make one small change and let its consequences spread naturally."\\
"And even then, we have to be anonymous," Suzie's voice took over. "It has to be a case of, '[[Radio/TheLoneRanger Who was that masked woman, anyway?]]'"
* As part of an announcement that Sirius now has a room for his writing, Draco makes a VisualPun involving his and Sirius' Animagus forms as "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" (a sentence designed to display fonts, as it uses every letter of the alphabet at least once). Sirius then begins Chronicling a new world--[[spoiler:the world where it turns out Ron and Ginny are]].
* John recruits [[spoiler:the ''Be Careful'' versions of Severus Snape and his wife Cecelia from a point after the as-yet unwritten sequel to that story; Severus takes the name Russell Evans in a nod to the Returnverse.]]
* Neenie grieves over being unable to save Lynx as well as Redwing, and Miss Susie explains how this changes her domain:
-->And while your heart sorrows, the domain will grieve with you. Until you recoup your loss, until you regain the person you feel responsible for not saving this time, it will be winter here."\\
[[Literature/TheLionTheWitchAndTheWardrobe "Always winter?" Neenie wrapped her arms around herself, shivering. "And never Christmas?"]]\\
[[DudeNotFunny Miss Suzie's smile was as wintry as the breeze now cutting through Neenie's thin robes.]] "The words are yours, not mine, but yes."
* Remus, missing Danger, [[AsTheGoodBookSays quotes]] [[Literature/BookOfGenesis Genesis 2:24]] (NKJV):
-->"'For this reason,'" he quoted softly, "'a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.'"
* The Pack and Pride are stuck in worlds in various places along [[Literature/HarryPotter the canon timeline]]:
** Neenie finds Fox and John during what in the canon timeline would be just before the first chapter of ''Philosopher's Stone''.
** Carrie and Meghan are rescued from just a few months after Meghan's birth, in the same world as Pat, who is rescued just as he is about to pass through the Veil in ''Order of the Phoenix''.
** Redwing and Lynx are stuck in a "tell" circa ''Half-Blood Prince'', with Draco disguising himself as a Hufflepuff to get Hermione's help fixing the Vanishing Cabinet.
*** Lynx is moved to another world by the RCs.
** Captain and Starwing are rescued from the Hogwarts Express circa ''Half-Blood Prince'' via a forced-split-and-merge.
** Lynx, Danger, and Wolf are found by Meghan at the Battle of Hogwarts.

[[folder:Return of the Aurors]]
* The first several chapters are quite literally a line-by-line reconstruction of Film/ReturnOfTheJedi, suitably altered in places. Then things get weird...
* The casting is probably worth noting:
** Ron as Ron Solo (with his starship the ''Millennium Hawk'')
** Neville as N-3LO
** Meghan as M2-B2
** Draco as Drake Skywalker
** Luna as Luna Calrissian
** Hermione as Princess Neenie
** Harry as Hairywolf the Wookiee
** Ginny as [[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Chirpa Ginevra]], chieftainess of the Ewok village (with a bit part as [[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Oola Ginna]], a female Twi'lek)
** Fred and George as Stormtroopers (makes sense, since they're clones anyway)
** Percy as [[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/EV-9D9 EV-9D9]]
** Danger as Jedi Mistress Gerta and [[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Crix_Madine General Dadine]]
** Aletha as [[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Mon_Mothma Mon Letha]]
** Remus as [[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Gial_Ackbar Admiral Lupar]]
** Sirius as [[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Wedge_Antilles Sirius Nigilles]]
* Since this is basically a self-insert fic by Ron, he renamed other characters after people he knows:
** Dursley the Hutt (Dudley)
** [[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Bib_Fortuna Ory Goila]], Twi'lek minion of Dursley the Hutt (Goyle)
** Boba Nott (Theodore Nott)
** [[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Salacious_B._Crumb Salacious Crabbe]] (Crabbe)
** Albu-Wan "Brian" Dunobi (Dumbledore)
** Darth Malius/Lucas Skywalker (Lucius Malfoy)
** Voldemort, of course, is the Emperor.
* Many of the locations are named partially for Potterverse places:
** [[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Tatooine Quidditchine]]
** [[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Dagobah Diagobah]]
** [[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Endor Hogwor]]
** [[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Sullust Surrust]]
** Even the shuttle ''[[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Tydirium Nontritetrum]]'' (From the Greek for nine-three-four, as in 9¾.)
