Harry and his companions entered the Forbidden Forest, where Delia explained that she was suppressing the Sacred Volcano’s heat until the Pillar of Light appeared. When the Pillar of Fire erupted, Harry manifested a powerful form that Delia recognized as a messenger of holy light, leaving Neville wondering whether Harry could transform the flames before they endangered the forest.

Harry and the others watched the Pillar of Fire appear in the small world, while Hagrid mistook its controlled effects for Dumbledore’s work. Later, Draco asked Neville to help him monitor Masaru Kobayashi, whom Draco believed was a disguised Voldemort, and revealed that he intended to act against him.

• Draco asked Neville to use Kalin to monitor Masaru Kobayashi, whom he said carried corrupt emotional force and was an experienced dark wizard.
• Draco told Neville that Dumbledore and Grindelwald had implied Masaru was Voldemort, deliberately left as bait, and suggested he planned to deal with him himself.

Draco and Neville investigated Masaru Kobayashi, unaware that the Basilisk he sought was already gone. At Malfoy Manor, Narcissa gave Draco Magic Fiber, which fused with his Fairy Tale magic and let him transform into a Hungarian Horntail before she ordered him to kill Voldemort.

• Draco argued that Masaru Kobayashi was not powerful and guessed that he planned to reach the Chamber of Secrets and use the Basilisk.
• The narration revealed that Masaru Kobayashi was a Horcrux incarnation tied to Ravenclaw's Diadem and planned to sacrifice the Basilisk, but Basil had moved the creature to another world.

• Narcissa confronted Draco for hiding his scheme and gave him Magic Fiber, explaining that it would complement his Fairy Tale magic.
• Draco transformed into a Hungarian Horntail, damaged Malfoy Manor, and returned to human form after Narcissa called his full name; she then ordered him to kill Voldemort.

Draco, Neville, and another Draco tracked Masaru Kobayashi to the Chamber of Secrets and attacked him while he tried to summon the Basilisk. Their spells destroyed Slytherin’s Statue, but Masaru evaded them and the three considered how to finish the fight.

• Narcissa told Draco that Masaru was no match for him and that he would be safe, so Draco agreed to hunt him in the Chamber of Secrets.
• Masaru entered the Chamber, where his weakened body was coughing blood, and tried to call forth the Basilisk from Slytherin’s Statue.
• Neville and the two Dracos followed Masaru underground, using Information Wave to navigate the Chamber with their eyes closed.
• The trio attacked Masaru with powerful spells, but he dodged by clinging to the statue and moving across it while the Devil’s Snare concealed the attackers.
• After the trio shattered the statue and Masaru remained hidden in the ceiling, Neville considered using the Killing Curse, the taller Draco considered weaponizing the Devil’s Snare, and the shorter Draco weighed transforming into a dragon.

Draco’s transformation into a dragon forced the discovery that the apparent Voldemort was a decoy tied to Ravenclaw’s Diadem, while Basil chose Ron as the next traveler and sent him to another world. Ron woke in a strange version of the Burrow, where Arthur and Molly did not recognize him.

• Masaru Kobayashi’s Stunning Spell caused the short Draco to transform into a dragon, and his fiery breath killed him.
• Neville and the Dracos found Ravenclaw’s Diadem where Riddle had been and suspected Diary Voldemort had escaped with the Basilisk, leaving a substitute behind.

• Arthur and Molly entered Ron’s room, questioned him, and became confused when he claimed to be Ron and called the house his own.

Ron arrived in another world at the Burrow, where his parents welcomed him and learned about his livestreaming success. He was allowed to visit Hogwarts but still had to attend online classes, and his first Potions lesson left him convinced he had crossed worlds only to remain under Snape’s supervision.

• Mrs. Weasley checked Ron’s timetable and sent him to his Potions class, where Snape questioned him about clover in Felix Felicis.

Neville, the two Dracos, and Basil explained Masaru Kobayashi’s death and disappearance to Dumbledore, who shaped the story to expose Masaru’s intentions and protect the boys. After the school reacted to the announcement, Ron arrived at Hogwarts disguised as Lance Weasley to gather material for a book.

• Suzuki Junko suspected Masaru Kobayashi was still somewhere inside Hogwarts because his tracking magic had not been triggered.
• Neville and the two Dracos realized Mrs. Malfoy had likely arranged the plan with Grindelwald, whom she could count as having informed Dumbledore.
• Basil showed Dumbledore how Voldemort’s soul fragment had died and explained that Masaru had intended to harm Ariana and unleash the Chamber of Secrets monster.

• Ron arrived at Hogwarts posing as Lance Weasley, a writer gathering material, and Professor McGonagall welcomed him.

Ron reunited with Neville and the Malfoys at Hogwarts while a man who identified himself as actor Rupert Grint arrived from another world as Lance Weasley.

• Neville explained the magical livestreaming platform, and Draco argued that their world-crossing had been one-sided, though Neville realized a wizard might still have traveled to Rupert’s world unnoticed.
