* LogicalWeakness:
** The Joining brainwashes someone over time by using your magic to influence their own. Naturally, being aware of your own magic causes one to be immune to the brainwashing.
** Adrastia's own version of the Joining ensnares men by using their natural desire to procreate against them. As a result, oral and anal sex can't be used for her Joining because even when under her control, men know they can't breed that way,

* BrokenPedestal: Tonks loses all faith in the DMLE when she learns that not only is raping muggle women fairly common, but the Aurors don't do anything about it beyond wiping their memory of the event. They'll arrest anyone they catch in the act of raping a muggle but they won't actually try to catch them for it.

Added DiffLines:

* EveryoneIsBi: Every Veela in existence is bisexual due to their BizarreAlienReproduction. Luna is also bi and Tonks eventually becomes bi as well, with Harry theorizing the latter is due to her changing her gender so often for kinky sex games throwing off her hormones.

** The one who inherits Harry's role as King of Spellhaven isn't any of his children, but Lorkhan, who's Luna son with Tonks.



* RealityEnsues: Because Lupin agonizes for so long over whether he should introduce himself to Harry, when he finally does, Harry treats him as an acquaintance at best and a friend of Sirius' at worst. Knowing a friend of his parents would be nice to talk to but Lupin clearly must not value them that much if he never once contacted Harry and then spent nearly a year between meeting Harry and mentioning his past relationship with James.

** A mild one is given to the FandomSpecificPlot of arresting Harry for killing Death Eaters. Fudge thinks to himself that even if the families of said Death Eaters insisted it was a prank that Harry overreacted to, the public outcry would destroy anyone involved in such a debacle.
** The idea of a soul bond is brushed off as the idea of airheaded nitwits. The closest thing is The Joining which is basically brainwashing someone and making them addicted to you via sex magic.
** Harry snarks that Literature/FiftyShadesOfGrey is basically a manual on how not to have a BDSM relationship, instead being the story of the emotional manipulation and breakdown of a very naive and inexperienced girl.
