History Fanfic / ArcOfSacrifices

* Cincinnatus: The Cincinnatus Ritual is a spell that allows the sitting Minister of Magic to control all magic used within the Ministry. The ritual evens drops the TropeNamer when it's being cast

* ICanChangeMyBeloved: Harry towards Draco when other people points he's a {{Jerkass}}.

* ICanChangeMyBeloved: Harry towards Draco when other people points he's a [[Jerkass self-centered, spoiled and bigoted brat]].

* LawfulStupid: Averted in-universe with Scrimgeour: while he despises Dark magic and "Lords mucking around in his ministry," it's acknowledged by Harry around the second time he shows up that he is by no means an idiot. [[spoiler: Which makes Juniper's reign even more painful to witness in contrast.]]

* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: Werewolves packs have their branch of magic, which allows them to cast stronger spells. Werewolf Alphas, unlike wolf alphas, cannot be challenged because they have [[BrainwashedAndCrazy compulsion]] over their packmates. It's also possible to turn a non-werewolf into an Alpha. [[Spoiler:Harry becomes the Alpha of Loki's pack without turning into a werewolf.]]

* Revenge: Another theme throughout the series. Revenge in the wizarding world tends to tie in with honour. For example, an outsider may not take revenge on the victim's family without his/her consent while family members do not need this.

* BringMyBrownPants: This is what happens to Connor as Harry finally breaks free of the [[BrainwashingForTheGreaterGood Phoenix Web]] thanks to him resting [[spoiler: Connor's attempt at using his Compulsion to mind control Harry]].

* WasItAllALie: This is the reaction of the Wizarding World to the Grand Unified Theory of Every Kinds of Magic [[spoiler:which says that blood has nothing to do with magical power and that magic is a sapient force and factors like weather and rape can determine whether a child is magical or not]].

* NothingPersonal: [[Spoiler:Belville]] claims this after betraying TheAlliance.

* IfYouEverDoAnythingToHurtHer: Draco gets one from a Camellia [[spoiler:a werewolf member of Harry's pack]].

* DifferentlyPoweredIndividual: [[PlayingWithATrope Played with]]. All wizards and witches have natural barriers that blocks off the deeper parts of their magical cores and can manifest as a series of limitations (not be able to become an Animagi even with years of study, not able to cast Unforgivables, or be able to fly on a broom et al). Lords and Ladies are wizards and witches that don't have such natural barriers, and are capable of fully harnessing their magic.

* HypoCrite: Lily and Dumbledore are this, though it only becomes more obvious with time. Specifically, [[spoiler: they cast a supposedly Light spell on Harry that forcefully binds his magic and abhor the Dark, despite ''free will'' being one of the most important principles of Light.]]

* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: Werewolves packs have their branch of magic, which allows them to cast stronger spells. Werewolf Alphas, unlike wolf alphas, cannot be challenged because they have [[BrainwashedAndCrazy compulsion]] over their packmates.

* MercyKill: Done in the sixth book.

* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent

* BookWorm - Thomas Rhangnara.
* BodyHorror: After Voldemort's ressurection, [[spoiler: Harry's left hand]] is cut by Bellatrix and then healed into a stump.

* BringMyBrownPants: this is what happens to Connor as Harry finally breaks free of the [[BrainwashingForTheGreaterGood Phoenix Web]] thanks to him resting [[spoiler: Connor's attempt at using his Compulsion to mind control Harry]].

* CastFullOfGay: played with, there are a [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters lot of straight characters]] but other than [[OfficialCouple Harry and Draco]], there's Ignifer Apollonis, Honoria Pemberley, Tylbat Starrise, John Smythe-Blyton among others.

* CastFullOfGay: played with, there are a [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters lot of straight characters]] but other than [[OfficialCouple Harry and Draco]], there's Ignifer Apollonis, Honoria Pemberley, Tylbat Starrise among other.

* WoundedGazelleGambit: Lily in the third book. [[spoiler: She tried to make it seem as if she were sorry for all she did to Harry, crying and all that, but was just trying to re-cast the magical binding spell no him again.]]
