History FanFic / Dangerverse

* KickTheSonOfABitch: [[spoiler:Voldemort kills Umbridge, but admit it, who missed her?]]

%%** BloodBrothers: Hermione and Draco (technically brother and sister, and the bond is placed on them by a third party, but they accept it readily)

** She does eventually let Draco ([[BloodBrothers her twin via blood bonding]]) and Ron (her boyfriend) use it. [[IfItsYouItsOkay It's just because it's them, though.]]

%%* HeroesWantRedheads: As per canon.

** [[spoiler:Dudley Dursley, after being awakened as a wizard, becomes a Slytherin and eventually falls in with the Death Eaters. Eventually, he ends up becoming a SelfMadeOrphan in an attempt to remove remaining traces of his Muggle heritage.]]

** [[spoiler:Viktor Krum]] also becomes a Death Eater, after his family is threatened. [[spoiler:He abuses Hermione when she and the girls are kidnapped.]]
* AdaptedOut: Aunt Marge exists but doesn't appear. Slughorn shows up for all of one scene, several years earlier than in canon. Helena Ravenclaw doesn't appear.

* AnyoneCanDie: Numerous canon characters are killed off. Numerous original characters, too.

** A character called Anne Walsh and who even looks like her hooks up a very hot male character. Subverted in the fact that she appears in three scenes. As a moving painting.

%%** Averted in the case of Narcissa Malfoy (as in the canon, does it all for Draco). Played fairly well straight with Lucius Malfoy.

** [[spoiler:Dudley Dursley. In this version, he is both a wizard and a Slytherin, and never has the experience with the dementor that triggers his HeelFaceTurn. In canon, he moved beyond being a bully--in the Dangerverse, he's surpassed ''just'' being a bully, and considering that in the Dangerverse, a wizard can read as pure-blooded after wiping out any Muggle relatives, it wasn't going to end well. After killing his parents, Dudley is killed himself.]]

** The original pride are between roughly fifteen and eighteen when Marcus Black and Nadia Lupin are born, only a couple years before Harry and Ginny's daughter Irene is born.

* PlotThreads: There are many parts of the story that focus on secondary and tertiary characters. Unfortunately, many of these sections do not include names and are only a few lines long, making it confusing.

* SadistTeacher: Umbridge again. The Carrows less so than in canon

** As with canon, the Bloody Baron, who is a contemporary of Rowena Ravenclaw, should not be a Baron as they didn't exist until after the Norman Conquest in 1066, some fifty years after Hogwarts was said to be founded, much less [[spoiler:having Salazar himself be the Bloody Baron.]]
** A one-shot goes into detail about the Founders and their children. Dafydd Beauvoi is said to be the son of a man who came to England during the Norman Conquest. But there's no way that he would be a contemporary of Amanda Slytherin (Salazar's granddaughter) when her parents are still in their 30s, unless Slytherin didn't have Alex until he was in his sixties, as the Norman Conquest happened around 70 years after Hogwarts was said to be founded, let alone enough time to pass for that generation to have children.

They present [[AlternateUniverseFic an alternate continuity]] for ''Franchise/HarryPotter''. Its initial [[ForWantOfANail divergence]] is the existence of an older Granger sibling, college-aged Gertrude (nicknamed "Danger" thanks to a somewhat wild childhood), as well as Sirius' wife Aletha. Orphaned by the recent death of their parents, she is the unemployed [[PromotionToParent guardian of her toddler sister]] Hermione at the start of the first story. When a desperation job babysitting brings her into contact with the (very) young Harry Potter, her life (and that of Hermione) takes a turn for the stranger... and better.

* CareBearStare: Harry shows Voldemort how LoveHurts.
* CatchPhrase: Sirius punning on his name.

* SuddenNameChange: Natalie McDonald's surname changes back and forth between McDonald (canon) and MacDonald in Facing Danger and switches to MacDonald by Surpassing Danger.

* AdaptationNameChange: Luna's parents are Gerald and Anita, as their names had not been revealed. Natalie McDonald is Natalie MacDonald

* AdaptedOut: Aunt Marge exists but doesn't appear. Slughorn shows up for all of one scene, several years earlier than in canon.

* CurseEscapeClause: Played with. Quirrell and Lockhart co-teach Defense first year, but as both are possessed by Voldemort, they die as Quirrell did in canon. Sirius and Letha co-teach Defense second year and Remus teaches alone third year, but Remus return seventh year, as Remus is security teaching upper-level classes who won't rat him out and Letha later teaches Potions.

* EmbarrassingNickname: "Danger" was also one when it was conceived -- when she was eight, she went skating with her friends and fell, pulling several of them (including Aletha, who made a song about it) down. Theodore Nott's mother calls him "Dora".

* PlanetOfHats: Slytherins are one-dimensional (except for a few moments from Blaise and Dudley's POV) and Andromeda Black is now a Ravenclaw, so there are no good Slytherins until the DA is formed. Not helped by many (Sirius, Narcissa, Meghan, Harry, etc.) disdaining Slytherin and refusing to be Sorted there and also not having Slughorn.

* KinslayingIsASpecialKindOfEvil: [[spoiler:When Dudley arranges the murder of his parents, just to remove any remaining proof of his Muggle ancestry so he can join the Death Eaters, you know he's BeyondRedemption.]] [[spoiler:Subverted when Draco kills his father Lucius, because Lucius thoroughly deserves it.]]

* NearAndDearBabyNaming: Sirius and Letha's children Meghan Lily and Marcus James are named after James and Lily Potter, Roger and Selena Davies's son is Zachary Cedric, and their great-granddaughter is named after Selena, Lee and Maya's son is named Graham after Maya's cousin.
