* AgeDownRomance: Since Harry and Ginny both travelled back in time, there's not actually an age gap between them. But they are both mentally much older than their bodies suggest, and they were married before they went back, and would rather like to pick up their relationship where they left off. Her parents and most of her brothers, who don't know that Ginny is not really ten years old, are ''not'' amused.

* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul:
** Harry is on far worse terms with the Weasleys this time around; they start off a bit wary of him due to an inflammatory article claiming he could be the next Dark Lord just as easily as he could save them, then grow even more suspicious after picking up on the changes in Ron and Ginny's behavior and connecting that to their friendships with Harry. What really cements the rift between them, though, is when Mrs. Weasley catches Harry and Ginny in a...compromising situation. [[spoiler:The rift between them slowly heals over the following years, but it's clear that their relationships will never be quite the same.]]
** Unlike the rest of his family, Percy is actually closer to Harry then the rest of the Weasley family, since Harry, Ron, and Ginny made a point of reaching out to him and helping him feel included.
** Both Snape and Dumbedore have drastically different relationships with Harry, Ginny, and Ron. The former sets aside his animosity for the sake of stopping Voldemort and eventually forms genuine bonds with the group, while the latter has a much more even-footed relationship with them due to their status as adults and their knowledge from the future, with Harry noting at one point that it's nice to hear Dumbledore talking to him like an equal rather than a child.

** Harry gets Cedric to Portkey out of the graveyard before Wormtail finds them, saving his life.

These examples of Surprisingly Realistic Outcome seem to violate at least one of these rules, which disqualifies them: No character reactions (characters get angry, don't forgive, don't change their personality instantly, etc.); Too fantastical (depends on the properties of magic, powers, sci-fi tech, monsters, etc.); Not surprising (a character was warned about the outcome, it's used to provide Karma or An Aesop, or it simply follows normal conventions for this genre or medium); Plot happens (the example only describes an event, but not why audiences would expect a different, unrealistic outcome); Not an outcome (a character just explains why something wouldn't work as expected); More of a Deconstruction (the event has major, lasting effects on the plot, make something more realistic, but not completely realistic, or a parody/fanwork applies realistic consequences to the events of a different work); or fits better under a different trope. See the trope's definition for more details. If you believe a removal was a mistake, please bring it up in the cleanup thread
