• The group combined magical materials, alchemy, and potion-and-charm techniques to create a lamp that produced a spatial road when lit with a purple flame.

Dumbledore reconsidered his lifelong compromises and set out to stop the battle by bringing down the cavern beneath Azkaban. Anton sensed the collective desire to survive and recognized Dumbledore’s spellwork as the cavern began collapsing.

• Dumbledore told Grindelwald he regretted some of his choices and no longer believed Tom would inevitably destroy the world.
• Dumbledore decided to protect what he cared about, embrace change, and end the battle, then cast Tarantella at the cavern floor.

Anton explained to Dumbledore that a wizard’s mind and magic influenced each other, arguing that the creative peak associated with a wizard’s first seven school years came from the students’ state of mind. Dumbledore recognized that his own mind had recently changed and said Anton’s insight had given him ideas.

• Dumbledore was astonished that Anton had created a Free Windbird, and Anton said it combined his self-understanding with his magical research.
• Anton argued that wizarding schools’ seven-year curriculum helped create a period of intense magical inspiration by sustaining students’ awe and fascination with magic.
• Anton described how many wizards lost inspiration as they reached their limits or left school, while professors often retained it longer, and concluded that mind and magic pursued each other.
• Anton sensed that Dumbledore’s mind had recently grown lighter and told him his theory on purpose; Dumbledore said he had a few ideas to consider.
• Anton compared changes in Life Existence to the limits of resurrection and recalled Professor Fiennes’s renewed inspiration and invention of the Spider-Brooded Resurrection Technique.
• Dumbledore joked that Professor Fiennes could not enjoy the Headmaster’s Matcha Ice Cream, and Anton recalled that Fiennes had criticized him for neglecting the Sunshine Food Spell series.

Anton suggested that Hogwarts establish a Magical Research Institute to advance magical study, and Dumbledore announced he would step down as Headmaster in favor of Professor McGonagall. The plan faced opposition from the School Governors, many of whom had joined Voldemort in the Americas, so Dumbledore considered replacing them and hinted that Anton’s Cabin could help fund it.

• Anton proposed that Hogwarts establish a Magical Research Institute and offer advanced magical study alongside teaching positions.
• Dumbledore considered incorporating the Institute into Hogwarts’s curriculum reforms and said it would need a director.

• Anton warned that the School Governors would oppose the plan because most had gone to the Americas to join Voldemort.
• Dumbledore said he would replace some School Governors and asked Anton about Cabin’s money, while Fiennes signaled Anton to discuss it later.

Anton realized that Hogwarts's School Governors represented the interwoven power of the Ministry, resource-controlling wizarding families, and magical schools, and that Cabin had grown into a power capable of claiming their influence. On Azkaban Island, Fudge explained how governors could profit by controlling school resources and the supply of magical materials.

• Anton recognized that Dumbledore was using the curriculum reforms and the governors' replacement to remove those who had sided with Voldemort and seize the resource vacuum they left in Europe.

Fudge told Anton that the Ministry was dividing up the Pure-blood Families’ abandoned interests and that Dumbledore intended for Anton and the Cabin to receive their rightful share. Anton claimed the Floo Powder Factory, agreed to ask Percy whether he wanted to become Fudge’s assistant, and learned that Fudge had spread the rumor about the Barrel Cottage among Muggles and planned to recruit Vernon as an official; the Cabin was nearing a place on Hogwarts’ Board of Governors.

• Fudge explained how he had removed Ministry officials, redistributed Pure-blood interests, and arranged profitable channels that could help Anton become a School Governor.

• Fudge revealed that he had spread the Barrel Cottage’s wizard-transformation rumor through the Muggle world and prepared files for Muggle recruits to the Ministry.
• Anton recommended Vernon Dursley for a role at the Ministry, and Fudge decided to approach him about directing the Muggle Information Collection Office.

Anton examined the Barrel Cottage and confirmed that its gathered Collective Consciousness produced the Thunder of the Mind needed to awaken magical bloodlines in Muggles. He began modifying the ritual and offered the Siren’s vengeful Wraith a choice between leaving for the World of the Dead and remaining as a Dark Magic Creature.

• Anton visited the Barrel Cottage in Hogsmeade and saw a vast cloud of Collective Consciousness gathering above it.
• He recognized the Thunder of the Mind within the cloud and concluded that his Gray Magic theory for turning Muggles into wizards was correct.
• Anton determined that the ritual needed a way to awaken Muggles and help them become spellcasters without forcing them to defeat Dark Magic Creatures.
• He entered the cottage, used his wand to stir its magical aura, and summoned the Siren’s vengeful Wraith.
• Anton offered the Wraith the choice to leave for the World of the Dead or remain in the world as a Dark Magic Creature.

Anton used the Siren as a magical ingredient in his Ritual Magic, transforming her into a Wish Lamp Spirit as he prepared to turn Muggles into wizards. Montgomery witnessed the spell but could not understand how Anton had done it.

• Montgomery and two other Aurors entered Barrel Cottage, where Anton was tormenting a Siren and offering her death or a role in his Ritual Magic.
• Anton explained that the Siren could help sustain the ritual and promised her a human Animagus form if she agreed to merge with it.
• Anton arranged magical ingredients, including candles, blood, Mandrake, Devil's Snare, rabbits, and dew, then used the dew to summon rain inside the cottage.
• The rain soaked the Siren, and she burst into azure lights that became part of the ritual, surrounding Montgomery and the other Aurors with shifting visions of forests and a raging ocean.
• Anton described how minds and environments shaped one another, while Montgomery watched in confusion and failed to understand the magic.

Anton showed Montgomery and Frank Longbottom how Barrel Cottage had transformed after his Ritual Magic, with its eerie plants gone and hidden spaces still present behind the door. He planned to use the Top 100 Tournament finals to help complete the enchantment by turning willing Muggles into Wizards.

• Anton returned with Montgomery to Barrel Cottage, where its damp, ruined interior had replaced the cursed environment and its Fantastic Plants had disappeared.
• Anton explained that the ocean and Forest remained accessible through spatial superposition, like the Room of Requirement, but the Ritual Magic needed more time to finish.
• Frank Longbottom thanked Anton for helping Neville, while Montgomery comforted Frank about his son's recovery.

• Weasley fireworks filled the Great Hall as Lockhart welcomed the crowd to the final match.

Hermione and Ron tried to steady their nerves before drawing opponents for the Top 100 Tournament’s fourth-round finale, while Harry reassured them. The draw paired Hermione against Ron and Harry against Cho Chang, and Grindelwald revealed that he had nudged Fate to make every contestant face someone they least wanted to fight.

• Hermione worried that she had to win the tournament to overcome the disadvantages of her Muggle-born background, while Ron panicked under his family’s expectations.
