Oh God, Not Again is a Harry Potter fanfiction by Sarah1281. An adult Harry gets sent back in time and makes it his goal in life to save as many lives from Voldemort as he tin can.

• Adult Child: Sirius, so very much. Harry likewise, if you lot go past mental historic period.
• Antiquity of Allure: Sirius starts to put on the Slytherin Horcrux ring despite Harry warning him that it would kill him. He manages to stop himself when Harry says, "Sirius, if yous put that on and so Snape will have to save your life. SNAPE."

• Bowwow in Sheep'due south Wear: Harry is much more of a Cloudcuckoolander this time round, causing the full general population to view him as somewhere between batshit insane and just total of information technology, but he's - usually - a prissy guy, employing Dumbledore'due south tactics of destroying his foes through politeness and snark. Sometimes, though, he strays right into Magnificent Bitch territory:

Pansy: (After Rita Skeeter's Pentawizard Playoffs article) Stunningly pretty? GRANGER? What was she judged against - a chipmunk? Harry: I wouldn't talk if I were you, Pansy. Seeing every bit I heard you came in third.

• Blatant Lies: Used by Harry when a Sarcastic Confession just won't cut it.
  • Subverted in ane case:

Molly: This is much better gossip than concluding yr'due south 'Albus Dumbledore was madly in love with Gellert Grindelwald.'

Evidently Dumbledore was struck speechless past the Blatant Lies and thus couldn't be bothered to deny it.

• • "How do you know that?" "My psychic scar told me."
  • As well, this exchange:

Snape: Is in that location a reason you felt the demand to go running off on a suicidal rescue mission without informing a responsible developed, commencement? Harry: I did get a responsible adult. Professor Lockhart is a Hogwarts Professor and surely Professor Dumbledore wouldn't have hired him if he didn't take complete faith in him.

Harry comes off similar this to others, every bit most things he says are bat-shit insane, but slowly people realize that the more over-the-top Harry's predictions are, the more accurate he gets.
• Cut His Heart Out with a Spoon: When Harry and Lockhart accomplish an understanding of sorts, Harry adds that if he tries to steal one of his accomplishments, he'll crush him to decease with a newspaper napkin.

Lockhart: Tin can y'all beat out someone to death with a paper napkin? Harry: *shrugs* I'll take fun trying.

• Exact Words:

Harry: Wait... Didn't Draco order yous not to try to save my life or to attempt and drive me from the castle? Dobby: Dobby wasn't trying to save the Great Harry Potter'southward life nor was he trying to send him away from Hogwarts. Dobby was trying to break Harry Potter's arm.

• Family-Unfriendly Aesop: In-universe. Sirius tells his History of Magic form the story of Voldemort's parents and asks them what the moral is; Lavender suggests, "Don't assume the guy you're feeding honey potions is in love with you and finish."
• Fantastic Racism: Parodied. Luna asks Snape if he is a Living-ist, or someone who judges based on whether or not a person is dead or live.

Mentally existence an developed lends Harry a different perspective on many incidents, such every bit now existence horrified at Neville's Hilariously Abusive Childhood or finally getting that Lockhart was joking when he implied he was more famous than Harry.
• Hypocrite: Harry (affectionately) thinks this when Sirius insists Snape should actually permit become of his resentment. Because Sirius himself is quite mature in those regards.
• I Reject Your Reality: In a lighthearted version of this, Sirius chooses to pretend he was in Majorca instead of Azkaban for over a decade. Everyone pretty much goes with it.
• It Tickled Me: Much of what Harry does is to avoid the crap that's going to happen, but most of it he does for the hell of it. The main reason he doesn't tell everybody his actual historic period is that and then everyone will then await him to act like it.

  • There is also why some students begin to apply pens instead of quills and notebook paper instead of parchment.
• Only in It For the Coin: Well, Harry'due south not only interested in money, but he does deliberately project this persona, to the point where he manages to convince anybody that he'due south not the Heir of Slytherin, because if he was he would be profiting off information technology.

"For the record, when you're telling this to other people, attempt to come up with an explanation that sounds more Badass."

• Power Trio: Double Subverted. While Harry, Ron, and Hermione become friends like before, Neville is added to the ranks right from the get-go, making them a Power Quartet. However, Ron, Hermione, and Neville end up more than of a unit of measurement without Harry, making them a Ability Trio and him more than of the Draco to their Crabbe and Goyle.

• The Rival: Draco, but in a way that is far more friendly than in canon. Neither likes the other's friends and they sometimes don't speak to each other, merely generally they are on rather good terms. It may be best described every bit a cross between this and Vitriolic Best Buds.

• Stunned Silence: The Death Eaters' reaction when Harry throws off Voldemort'due south Imperio Expletive and proceeds to rima oris off at him.
• Stupidest Thing I've E'er Heard:

Harry: [Dobby's] apparently gotten information technology into his caput that Hogwarts is a walking death trap and therefore I'm better off with my Muggle relatives and in item my Muggle uncle who could snap at whatever time and try and strangle me. Therefore, he sealed the portal to the platform and Ron and I got bored so we decided not to expect for everyone to set up the mess and just fly here. Draco: That has got to be the stupidest thing I've always heard.

• • And later...

George: Besides, the Slytherin team apparently couldn't find anybody to spy every bit they showed upwards in person. And full Quidditch gear.

It can't be more than ten.

• Uncle Pennybags: Harry both makes and spends money far more than extravagantly this time around.
• Unresolved Sexual Tension: Harry points out that Ron and Draco's rivalry looks suspiciously like this (Hermione finds it hilarious while it goes right over Ron's head). He later thinks Ron and Hermione's relationship clearly falls under this also.
