Make a Wish (fanfic)

Make A Wish is a Harry Potter fic written by Rorschach's Blot.

After the events of Order of the Phoenix, Harry decides that he doesn't particularly want to simply go off and die in a final confrontation with Voldemort, at least not without having a chance to see a bit of the world first. What follows is a vacation that spans the summer (and a good part of the fic), and takes Harry, under the alias Mr. Black, through several countries, adventures, and more than a few dead Death Eaters.

It also has a sequel, The Hunt For Harry Potter, by the same author.

Make A Wish provides examples of:

 * Catch Phrase: When asked for more details on who he is, Mr. Black will invariably reply: "I'm just a guy on vacation."
 * Coming of Age Story: This is a Harry Potter fic, so that's to be expected.
 * Contrived Coincidence: This happens a lot.
 * Hypercompetent Sidekick: Henchgirl, to the Professor. In fact, the only reason she got the title of "Hench" is because the Professor won a coin-toss.
 * Mad Scientist: The Professor, a rare non-malicious version.
 * Mistaken for Badass: There are so many accidental deaths around "Mr. Black" that pretty much the entire magical community is convinced that he's some sort of super-wizard. In point of fact, it's all just a string of coincidences.
 * Shout-Out: The SEP Field.
 * Took a Level In Badass:, by the end of the story.
 * Weirdness Censor: Mr. Black has a bracelet that makes it difficult for people to focus on the details of his person, explicitly called an SEP Field.
