His classes exposed his advanced runic knowledge, Hagrid’s illegal Blast-Ended Skrewts, and Ron’s struggles with Transfiguration, while Hermione earned the Ancient Runes professor’s trust.

• Ted learned from the newspaper that a powerful Dark Wizard had robbed Gringotts, killed six Goblins, and prompted the Wizengamot to order his capture.
• Ted attended his first Ancient Runes lesson with Bathsheba Babbling and found its introductory material too basic for his existing research.

• Ted, Ron, Hermione, and their classmates studied Hagrid’s Hippogriff Buckbeak in Care of Magical Creatures class.
• In Transfiguration, Ron turned a rat into a turtle with a rat’s head and tail, while Hermione criticized her own result; Ron supported her because she had been asked to help grade Ancient Runes homework.

He secretly placed an Arcane Mark on Scabbers, preparing to deal with Peter Pettigrew, while Ron and his friends overslept and risked missing Divination class.

Neville, Ron, and Jerry raced to their first Divination class with help from Sir Cadogan, where Professor Sybill Trelawney declared Neville’s tea leaves foretold his death.

Ted and his friends searched for Sir Cadogan’s portrait, hoping it would reveal Gryffindor’s treasure. After Ted woke the portrait, Hermione discovered that telling Sir Cadogan Gryffindor had sent them triggered a clue to seek out his deeds.

• Hermione researched Sir Cadogan, and Ron revealed that his portrait had guided the group after they got lost.
• Ted and his friends learned that Sir Cadogan’s portrait had been hidden away, so Ted used the Butt-whipping Whip to persuade Peeves to find it.
• Peeves found Sir Cadogan’s portrait in an abandoned seventh-floor storage room, and Ted brought it to the Secret Base and supplied it with Magic Power.
• Sir Cadogan woke but knew nothing about Gryffindor’s Treasure, so Ted and Hermione suspected Gryffindor had set conditions for the portrait to reveal its clue.
• Hermione told Sir Cadogan that Gryffindor had sent them, prompting him to say, “Go seek out my deeds! The secret is there!”

Ted and his friends investigated Sir Cadogan’s legendary deed and discovered that Gryffindor’s clue led them to a Wyvern statue in the Transfiguration Courtyard. They found the matching dragon skull hidden in Hogwarts, placed its eyes in the statue, and brought the Wyvern to life.

• Hermione told Ted and the others that Gryffindor had directed them to Sir Cadogan, and Ted cut off the portrait’s Magic Power to make him fall asleep.

Ted and his friends defeated a magical Wyvern inside Sir Cadogan’s painting and found Gryffindor’s Book of Adventures. After reading how it could let them experience Gryffindor’s past exploits, they opened its first adventure and were transported to a forest.

• Ted, Hermione, and Harriett restrained the Wyvern with spells while Ron and Jerry tried to summon help, and the creature turned into a statue and shattered.

• Jerry and Harriett asked Ted how to conquer their fears, and he urged them to face the Boggart and persist with Riddikulus.

Ted failed to create a satisfactory Magic Power core for his magic puppet and turned to other projects before discovering a book about the Holy Light. He decided not to cultivate the energy himself and considered letting Neville try it instead.

After Divination class, Trelawney made an unconscious prophecy warning that darkness and death were drawing near, and Ted helped her recognize that she had a genuine gift for prophecy.

• Ron, Neville, and the others struggled to complete Chapter Twelve, which required them to protect villagers and gather winter supplies while fighting an old Winter Wolf and its pack.
• The team repeatedly failed in different ways, and Ted chose not to give them his solution so Gryffindor’s adventure could teach them a lesson.

Ted trained Ron to use a magic-powered Mechanical Arm and a mecha called Winnie, while the Weasley Twins investigated clues from their ancestor’s diary. The chapter left Ron with a promising but malfunction-prone control system, and the Twins opening a secret chamber beneath the library.

• Neville, Hermione, Harriett, Jerry, and the Weasley Twins pursued their own training or projects to improve their abilities.
• Ted fitted Ron with a massive Mechanical Arm, and Ron quickly learned to control it with his Magical Power.

• The Weasley Twins used an old diary belonging to Matilda Weasley to open a secret underground chamber beneath the library.

Ted and the Weasley twins found an Ancient Magic chamber beneath the Restricted Section, where Ted bypassed a magically sealed door with psionic energy and uncovered memories left by a former guardian. The memories revealed a past struggle over a hidden vault and its power, leaving the group stunned by the force of Ancient Magic.

• George and Fred told Ted that their great-great-grandmother's diary had led them to a sealed chamber beneath Hogwarts's Restricted Section.

• Ted surveyed Hogsmeade and described its shops, abandoned buildings, and the contrasting roles of the Hog's Head and the Three Broomsticks.

Ted and the wizards responded to a Swallowtail Dog that had risen from the dead and attacked people in Hogsmeade. The Ministry sealed the village and investigated a contagious Undead Curse, while the chapter ended with officials considering whether to use Dementors because they lacked enough personnel.

• Basel said a crazed Teber Warthog had killed his Swallowtail Dog, Sangji, while he gathered herbs in the Forbidden Forest.
• Sangji crawled from his grave and attacked Basel and nearby villagers, prompting someone to ring the alarm bell.

• The Ministry sent Aurors and Hit Wizards to seal Hogsmeade, investigate the Forbidden Forest, and raise a magical barrier around the village.
• With too few combat personnel available, someone proposed using Dementors.

As Aurors searching the Forbidden Forest uncovered undead creatures and a curse spreading through the soil, Ted and his friends learned from Phineas Black about an Ancient Magic vault hidden in the forest. Drawn by memories showing the power of Ancient Magic, they decided to approach the vault despite the worsening danger.
