Chapter Summaries

Serena Pendragon connected the meteorite threat to an earlier Ritual Magic incident in Siberia, while a blood-red tear fell from the moon and a blazing meteorite appeared over Paris. Vizet called on everyone to cast the Shield Charm, and Dumbledore, President Jacques, and Minister Bonaparte answered his plea.

Herpo watched The Master's Meteorite fail to break through the Magical Energy Field protecting the Paris Region and, in his desperation to prove The Master's power remained invincible, sacrificed Gregory, Circe, and Carcas.

• Herpo saw the Meteorite strike the Magical Energy Field around the Paris Region, but the shield held, and he attacked Gregory when Gregory feared someone would use the field to resist The Master.

Voldemort brought two nuclear bombs over Paris during the International Confederation of Wizards Congress, intending either to kill Dumbledore or prove Muggle weapons powerless against magic.
