Chapter Summaries

Andy waited for his Magical Transformation potion to mature, then successfully brewed it and began the transformation. After drinking the potion, he faced the dangerous absorption process ahead.

• Andy observed the Wizarding World’s tense preparations as Voldemort, Dumbledore, and the Ministry of Magic gathered strength, while his own life at Hogwarts remained peaceful.
• On March 12th, Andy anxiously waited for his Magical Transformation potion to mature and reviewed what Grindelwald had told him about how the process could alter both body and soul.
• After the potion released red mist and shrank to a small amount, Andy poured it into a Crystal Bottle.
• Andy checked his Will attribute and recalled his divination, then drank the potion to begin his Magical Transformation.

Andy endured the deadly fusion of the potion’s magic of death, completed his Magical Transformation, and became a Magical Lifeform. He discovered that his magic had grown far more abundant and fluid, and the System recorded five stat increases.

• Andy endured the freezing agony of the transformation while maintaining his consciousness and sense of self.

• Andy tested his enhanced magic by shattering a laboratory table and restoring it with smooth, effortless spellcasting.
• Andy checked the System Panel and found increases to Transfiguration, Dark Arts, Magic, and Soul, then recognized the change had made him a Magical Lifeform.

Andy used his unstable magic power to experiment with wandless spellcasting and considered how wizards and Magical Lifeforms differed. He left the laboratory pleased with his improved talent and adaptability, though he still had much to learn about Magical Lifeforms.

• Andy realized he could not fuse his mind and magic power before summer vacation, so he looked for another use for his unstable magic.
• Andy put away his wand and successfully levitated a cauldron by concentrating and reciting the incantation.
• Andy tested other spells and found he could cast them without a wand, sometimes without incantations.
• Andy reflected that Magical Lifeforms had innate abilities while wizards could use many kinds of magic, and speculated that their bodies and souls shaped magic power differently.
• Andy admitted that he lacked the knowledge to resolve the contradictions in Magical Theory and concluded that his Magical Transformation had improved his talent and magical adaptability.

Andy decided to study ancient methods of controlling magic while his magic remained unstable, then discovered that his System Panel had gained a Constitution attribute. The chapter ended with Madam Pince reprimanding him for swearing in the library.

• Andy left his sealed laboratory and returned to the dormitory after completing his Magical Transformation, which he considered successful despite not gaining magical traits.

• Andy used Professor Flitwick’s permission slip to find ancient books on controlling magic in the Restricted Section.
• Andy noticed that his System Panel had gained a Constitution attribute, then apologized to Madam Pince after swearing aloud in the library.

After discovering that the system had added a Constitution attribute, Andy spent his Potential Points to raise it and experienced a brief surge of cold that left frost across the washroom floor. He returned the attribute to level three, with the effects of his new constitution still unknown.

• Andy calmed Madam Pince after she threatened to throw him out of the library, then joined Hermione and joked about wanting her to comfort him.
• Andy checked the System Panel and found a new Constitution attribute at level two, alongside three Potential Points.
• Andy decided to increase Constitution rather than save his points for Magic Power, and left the library for the washroom.
• Andy checked that the washroom was empty, then spent all three Potential Points to raise Constitution to level three.
• Cold air burst from Andy and frosted the washroom floor, but he felt only a brief refreshing chill before the cold receded.

Andy tested the effects of raising his Physique attribute and weighed whether to pursue a powerful death-magic chill or continue his plan to fuse his mind and magic. He chose the fusion plan and returned to the library, where he convinced Hermione he had only gone to the bathroom.

• Andy checked himself for changes and found that raising Physique had made his spellcasting slightly smoother.
• Andy considered increasing Physique to unlock the death-magic chill but decided to stick to his plan to fuse his mind and magic during summer vacation.
• Andy reasoned that the fusion might change the system's attributes and judged the risks manageable based on his research, Grindelwald's advice, and Lily Potter's example.
• Andy returned to the library after dispelling the chill from his clothes.
• Hermione pieced together Andy's earlier trip out of the library and suspected he had done something, but Andy insisted he had only relieved himself.
• Andy persuaded Hermione that he had not lied to her, and she apologized for doubting him.

Andy studied how ancient wizards used their minds to guide magic power, then tested his first wandless spell after his magic stabilized. He realized the practice could help him complete the second step of his plan: fusing his mind and magic power.

• Andy decided that his next goal was to complete the fusion of mind and magic power.

Andy met Hermione in the Great Hall, where she deduced that Harry’s scar had hurt and that his problem involved the Mysterious Man. Harry and Ron arrived, and Harry told Andy he had dreamed of Voldemort discussing a plan.

• Harry said Voldemort had left hatred in him as well, then agreed to write Dumbledore about the dreams.
• After Harry and Ron left, Hermione told Andy she thought she understood why he had guessed the truth.

• Andy asked Dumbledore whether he had heard the news and what the casualties at Azkaban were.

Harry recounted seeing Voldemort and the Death Eaters attack Azkaban, where a masked wizard held Voldemort back. Dumbledore and Andy suspected each other of being the masked wizard, so Andy proposed using the Time-Turner to investigate the event together.

Andy and Dumbledore used the Time-Turner to travel three hours into the past and arrived at Azkaban, where they waited for Voldemort’s attack. Andy questioned why they had come and what force had caused the events to form a loop, and Dumbledore suggested Andy might discover his reason later.

• Andy and Dumbledore turned the Time-Turner three times, traveled back three hours, and used Fawkes to reach Azkaban.

• Andy wondered whether fate had guided events and asked whether the Time-Turner caused the loop, but Dumbledore said Hermione and earlier students had not experienced the same problem.
• Dumbledore asked whether Andy would have come without him and suggested Andy might not yet have found his reason; Andy proposed that he had only accompanied Dumbledore to watch and said Masked Man’s identity would become clear when he appeared.
