* EverythingsBetterWithPenguins: During the {{foodfight}} incident at the Great Hall, a number of people conjured animals. While cleaning up, Minerva and the others rounded up mice and birds and Macaroni penguins. The penguins prove to be too hard to catch that an exasperated Sinistra decides to adopt them all. The penguins are still roaming freely around the campus even after the Great Hall is (presumably) cleaned up. Minerva remarks that they seem to have taken over the school as she keeps running into them.

* ExtremelyShortTimespan: The story has a 50,000+ word count, and everything happens within one ridiculously long day. Minerva lampshades this in the second chapter when she recalls something she did in the first and remarks that it felt like a long time ago.

Both Nott and Malfoy are interested in Daphne Greengrass, who only sees the former as a friend and dislikes the latter. Daphne Greengrass tried to set-up Nott with Susan Bones, but Nott refuses because Blaise Zabini has a crush on Susan, while Susan wouldn't go out with Blaise because Mandy Brocklehurst is interested in him. Mandy herself used to date Anthony Goldstein, but both have since broken up and Anthony is now seeing Hannah Abbott, despite the fact that Terry Boot is after her. After failing to get Hannah, Terry now has his attention on Pansy Parkinson, who of course only has eyes for Draco Malfoy. Minerva gets a headache trying to compute all this.

* ShoutOut:

It's also one big CrowningMomentOfFunny from beginning to end.

** Ron, too. When Umbridge tells him to tell Hermione she won't pass any of her [=DADA=] assignments, he replies, (paraphrased) "I'm sure it'll keep her up at night, when she's nothing but her top marks in every other subject to comfort her".
