History Awesome / HarryPotterHogwartsMystery

* The Player Character is this in general. Not only have they (possibly) won every single duel they have been challenged to (excusing the disadvantaged Wandless Duel against Merula in Year 7), they have even won against older accomplished Wizards like Bill Weasley and adults like Rakepick and Madam Xeep. Although it's impossibly likely, the fact that the Player is able to get all O's on their O.W.L.'s is a testament to their status as a BadassBookworm and TeenGenius.

* During your second year, Merula tries to frame you for stealing supplies from Snape's classroom and even managed to plant them next to your bed. Trying to claim ignorance will lead you to lose house points. However, if your Knowledge skill is high enough, you can turn the tables on her by accusing her of framing you. She tries to bluff her way past the accusation, but Snape sees right through her lies because [[TheTell her eyes are darting from side to side]].

* If you take Ben with you to search for the vault at the end of Year 2, a frustrated [=McGonagall=] will be unable to deduct house points because Ben (who's strongest in charms) covered your tracks so well.

* During the vault search at the end of Year 3, Merula and Ismelda come to defeat the player and search the vault themselves. Barnaby not only takes a curse meant for the player head-on with barely a whimper, but he also buys the player time by [[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome dueling Ismelda and Merula at the same time offscreen]]. They don't call him one of the most talented duelists for nothing.

* In Year 4 Chapter 15, Ben Copper (who is the red-cloaked figure who attacked you in chapter 3 of the same year) is able to soundly best you in a duel to the death without even thinking about it (he may literally not have been able to think about it as he may have been Imperioused). Remember that you are a powerful and skilled wizard/witch and duelist yourself for your age (having bested many skilled duelists, including Barnaby Lee, the strongest duelist in your year, and Bill Weasley, another skilled duelist who is older than you and has more experience than you) and Ben trounced you and likely would have killed you if Madam Rakepick hadn't saved you. This proves Ben's nervousness and lack of self-confidence is his greatest weakness. If he could overcome that, he'd be an incredibly dangerous foe to fight against.

-->'''Penny:''' [[BigSisterInstinct And this is for Beatrice and the others trapped in portraits!]] You knew where the vault was the whole time!

* In the wake of Rowan's murder, the whole atmosphere of [[AvengersAssemble everyone coming together as a team]], using all their knowledge, skill, and abilities for the express reason of ''[[RoaringRampageOfRevenge taking Rakepick down]]'' and sealing the final vault. Literally everyone is using their know-how to help contribute:

** Big props also go to Tonks, Talbott, and Jae in this meeting. Tonks, under the guise of a Dark Witch with her Metamorphagus ability, ''immediately'' attacks the moment the Player gets attacked (no wonder Moody taps her as an Auror later). Talbott fearlessly attacks the Dark Wizard in his Animagus form and Jae was able to attack from underneath his invisibility cloak without revealing himself. Keep in mind that they are still ''all students'' at this point (around ages 16-17), so this is ''incredibly'' impressive.

** Even ''more'' impressive is the ''Player'' picking up Wandless Magic in a ''record time''. They had only just been challenged by Merula to duel and only had, at most, a few days to a week to pick it up. While they weren't able to defeat Merula in a duel, after being given a ''single'' piece of advice from her, they perform a perfect Knockback Jinx. Later on, they were even able to cast a strong enough Stupefy to knock out a Wampus Cat and are seemingly able to now comfortably able to cast without their wand.

* During the Christmas event, you can pick who you're getting a present for. One of the options is Merula, who's otherwise all alone[[note]]She confirms that her parents are prisoners in Azkaban, so she has nobody to go home to for the holiday[[/note]]. If you choose Merula, [[ThePrankster Peeves]] offers to help you out on getting her a present, which turns out to be a songbook. Against all expectations, Merula likes it so much she [[WhenSheSmiles smiles]] and wishes you Happy Christmas. Doubles as heartwarming, but the sheer unexpectedness of having a genuinely friendly interaction with her also slots it here for many players.
* In the ''Adventures of Cursebreaking'' sidequest (which occurs in Year 6), the Player faces yet again ''another'' dragon, but this time it's much bigger and meaner than the other dragon (who was emancipated due to being trapped in a portrait). And this time, the player defeats it without the use of a curse and instead uses a nonverbal Sleeping Charm to knock it out.

** In future Charms class, Levi is ''no longer struggling''. Instead of tutoring him, the Player is now cheering him on as he ''demonstrates'' the Levitation Charm. You go, Levi!

* If you choose to save Merula, your character will set her free from the ice using Flipendo. [[BreakTheHaughty ON]] [[KickTheSonOfABitch Merula]] [[EmbarrassingRescue herself.]] Right before s/he does it, your character warns that "this may hurt a little", [[OhCrap causing Merula to panic]] right [[BlownAcrossTheRoom before she's knocked flat on her butt.]] It's even better due to the fact [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor she was demanding you help her (from a situation she got herself in by jinxing them]] InTheBack) [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor or else she'd curse you and your friends.]]

** It also shows that even if you choose a noble path, [[GoodIsNotSoft you're not soft]] [[GoodIsNotDumb or stupid.]] Merula has been causing problem and using Flipendo on you and your friends since the year started, and [[EntitledBitch then has the gal of demanding you save her]]. Even if you choose to be merciful, you're also ''getting even.''

** [[MasterOfDisguise Andre and Tonks with disguises]], Tonks even gets to showcase [[VoluntaryShapeshifting her awesome Metamorphagus abilities]]! Tulip helps with her clever ingenuity as someone who has orchestrated incredible pranks. And of course, [[FriendInTheBlackMarket Jae and his helpful back alley connections]]. Fred & George even help a little!

*** Also, a little reminder. The Circle of Khanna is so competent that Mad-Eye, a ''professional'' Auror decides to depend on a group of teens to deal with 'R' than his own agents or the Hogwarts staff. If that isn't awesome then, who knows what is?

** Even ''more'' impressive is the ''Player'' picking up Wandless Magic in a ''record time''. They had only just been challenged by Merula to duel and only had at most, a few days to a week to pick it up.
