Chapter Summaries

Dylan impressed Hagrid’s class by winning Squall’s trust and riding the Hippogriff into the sky. While flying, Dylan tried to cast a Patronus and began to suspect that freely showing off in front of Dumbledore might help him succeed.

• Dylan approached Squall, bowed, and earned the Hippogriff’s acceptance despite its unusual nervousness around him.

• Squall lowered itself for Dylan to mount and carried him into the sky as the students and Hagrid watched in astonishment.
• Dylan tried to cast Expecto Patronum while flying, but the silver-blue light broke apart before forming a creature.
• Dylan wondered whether his excitement came from wanting to display his abilities freely in front of Dumbledore.

Dylan successfully summoned a Patronus while riding Squall, discovering it was a Poro disguised as a Pixiu. After Malfoy was injured by a Hippogriff, Dylan befriended the creatures with meat strips and planned to return to see them.

• Dylan urged Squall higher into the sky and cast Expecto Patronum, summoning a Poro that looked like a Pixiu.
• Dylan spotted Harry riding Buckbeak as Malfoy tried to force another Hippogriff to cooperate and was thrown into a tree.

• Dylan approached Buckbeak and then visited the Hippogriffs in the grove, offering Squall meat strips to share.
• Dylan decided to arrange a midnight meeting with Hagrid so he could return to the grove and try to lure Hippogriffs into his Pet Space.

After Malfoy was injured, Dylan returned to Hogwarts and later inspected the seven Dementors he had confined in his Pet Space. He named them Little A through Little G and began assessing their abilities and needs, leaving them as potential subjects for his experiments and prison guards.

• Dylan returned to the Castle, ate dinner with Neville, and considered recruiting Dobby as a chef and helper.
• Dylan entered the Pet Space and found the seven Dementors living on an isolated island among his Corpses.
• Dylan used Profligspiritus to control the Dementors and ordered them to keep their distance.
• Dylan tested whether Little A understood Dragon Language and Parseltongue, then wondered whether he could use a Dementor to study creature languages.
• Dylan marked the Dementors A through G and asked Little A how often they needed to feed; Little A indicated they could survive about a month without feeding.
• Dylan reasoned that the Ministry of Magic might supply prisoners to feed the Dementors guarding Hogwarts.

Dylan kept seven Dementors under control while planning his studies and briefly let Lockhart out of his storage room under the Imperius Curse. Back in the dormitory, he joined Harry, Ron, Neville, and Seamus testing Fred and George’s Voice-Changing Candy, and the chapter ended with Dylan making a cow’s moo.

• Dylan warned the seven Dementors not to escape and considered using Peter Pettigrew as food if he could not develop a way to summon them back.
• Dylan reviewed his plans to study advanced Alchemy, the Time-Turner, and a Dementor summoning spell before visiting his pets and checking on Lockhart.
• Dylan used the Imperius Curse to make Lockhart leave the storage room and instructed Coal Ball and Norberta to keep him active and under watch.
• Dylan found Harry, Ron, Neville, and Seamus laughing over Fred and George’s Voice-Changing Candy; Harry made cat sounds and Seamus crowed like a chicken.
• Ron ate a different piece of candy and began making steam-train whistles, then Dylan ate a blue piece and mooed like a cow.

Dylan studied Alchemy and used fragments of temporal-reversal runes from the Time-Turner to create an exceptionally durable pocket watch. After dinner, he set off with Neville and decided to visit Old Dumbledore for more knowledge.

• Dylan learned that Fred and George had used a little Alchemy in their Voice-Changing Candy and offered to recommend books for their studies.

• After finishing classes and dinner with Neville, Dylan decided to visit Old Dumbledore and record the runes on his Pensieve.

Dylan asked Dumbledore to teach him Alchemy and to let him study the Pensieve's Runes. Dumbledore agreed to teach him and began explaining the ancient writing, revealing that it had gathered memories of Hogwarts' former headmasters.

• Dylan visited Dumbledore's office and asked him to teach him Alchemy; Dumbledore agreed and gave him times when he could come for lessons.
• Dylan asked to examine the Pensieve's Runes, and Dumbledore explained that the Pensieve stored and replayed memories but that its maker was unknown.

• Dumbledore began teaching Dylan to identify the Pensieve's ancient magical writing and explained that one group of Runes signified separation and rebirth.
• The Pensieve's mist formed changing figures of Hogwarts' former headmasters, whose memories had been gathered by its magical writing.

Dylan upgraded Neville’s Remembrall with layered alchemy so it could identify specific things he had forgotten, then decided to stop attending elective classes and returned his Time-Turner to Professor McGonagall. Hermione was shocked to learn he had quit the classes and wondered what she was supposed to do.

• Dylan studied Neville’s Remembrall and used Ancient Runes, alchemical materials, and Neville’s hair to make it identify forgotten tasks and adjust its warnings.
• Neville tested the modified Remembrall, which revealed that he had forgotten his Transfiguration homework, and hurried to finish it.
• Dylan decided that he had learned enough from his elective courses and returned his Time-Turner to Professor McGonagall.
• Professor McGonagall agreed that Dylan had little more to gain from the electives, and she kept the Time-Turner with her.
• Hermione asked Dylan where he had been, learned that he had returned the Time-Turner and stopped attending electives, and wondered what she was supposed to do.

Hermione struggled with Dylan dropping most of their Elective Courses, then secretly used a Time-Turner to attend multiple classes while hiding the truth from Harry and Ron. Lupin led his students through a practical Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson and brought them to Snape’s Staff Room, where Snape challenged him about taking over the Common Room.

• Hermione felt unsettled that Dylan had decided to leave their shared Elective Courses, while she remained uncertain about her own future plans.
• Dylan explained that he had dropped Arithmancy and several other Elective Courses, including Hagrid’s class, because they were not useful to his plans.

• Lupin led the class out of the classroom and demonstrated Waddiwasi by shooting Peeves’s gum into his nostril.
• Lupin brought the students into Snape’s Staff Room, where Snape asked whether Lupin was trying to steal his Common Room.

Lupin taught the students about Boggarts and showed them the spell to make the creatures funny, while Dylan used Divination to examine what the Boggart perceived as his fear. The lesson began with the students lining up to face the creature, and Neville admitted he was afraid because he did not know what frightened him.

• Snape refused to watch Lupin's lesson and slammed the classroom door behind him.
• Lupin explained that Boggarts sensed an observer's fear and changed shape to embody it.
• Dylan used Divination and saw the Boggart take the form of a mound of corpses, then imagined how his spells could make it behave absurdly.
• Lupin taught the students the spell for turning a Boggart into something ridiculous and released it from the wardrobe.
• The students lined up to face the Boggart, while Dylan asked Neville what he feared and Neville said he was afraid because he did not know.

During Lupin’s Boggart lesson, Dylan stopped Lupin from destroying the creature and persuaded him to let him study it. Two days later, Cedric approached Dylan in the Library to ask about the treant the Boggart had become.

• Neville overcame his fear when his Boggart became a Dementor and used Riddikulus to turn it into a ridiculous cloth ball.
• Dylan’s Boggart took the form of a monstrous treant, which he transformed into an inflatable puppet with Riddikulus.
• Dylan stopped Lupin from destroying the Boggart and convinced him to let Dylan take it for research.

• Hermione and others recognized that Dylan’s treant resembled Cedric, but Dylan said he had only seen it in a dream.
• Cedric found Dylan in the Library and asked to talk about the treant the Boggart had become.

• Cedric asked Dylan about rumors that his Boggart had taken Cedric’s form as a Treant, and Dylan dismissed the story as a misunderstanding.
• Dylan visited Dumbledore’s office after dinner and asked to learn Goblet of Fire for Alchemy and Divination.

• Dumbledore began teaching Dylan to create the flame by focusing on a feeling rather than logic, and Dylan’s magic dimmed when Dumbledore released his wrist.
• Dylan thought about his enthusiasm for preparing experiments, and the blue flames surged as Dumbledore watched in surprise.

After Dylan quickly mastered Goblet of Fire, Old Dumbledore asked for his opinions on several professors and praised his insight. Back at the Small Wooden Cabin, Dylan drove Riddle into his Diary and experimented with controlling a Boggart, leaving Coal Ball dejected and Norberta to comfort it.

• Dylan mastered Goblet of Fire under Old Dumbledore’s guidance and then described Severus as a once-spirited young man and Professor McGonagall as more imaginative than she appeared.
• Dylan explained his view of maturity to Old Dumbledore, who suggested he give a speech at Hogwarts, and then returned to his dormitory.
• Dylan went to the Small Wooden Cabin to test whether he could control a Boggart, but Riddle emerged from the Diary and demanded to know why Dylan had not killed him.
• Dylan silenced Riddle with Holy Light and carried the Boggart’s box outside, while Coal Ball sulked over being ignored and Norberta comforted it.
• Dylan released the Boggart and used Profligspiritus to reshape it into different forms, studying how realistically it transformed.

Dylan unlocked the max-level spell Xixiorwawa after taming the Boggart, then went to an island and forced seven Dementors to perform tricks. He asked the Dementors to submit to him, and they nodded, leaving Peeves as the final being he might tame.

• Dylan unlocked the Non-Being Taming achievement and obtained the max-level spell Xixiorwawa.
• Dylan tested Xixiorwawa, which made its targets laugh and cry in rapid succession, and considered whether taming the Three Great Non-Beings could unlock another achievement.

• Dylan found Peeves causing noise in a Hogwarts storage room, restrained him, and sealed him inside a glass bottle.
• Dylan returned to his suitcase’s isolated island and released Peeves among the seven Dementors.

• Peeves realized Dylan controlled the Dementors and tried to flatter him, calling him their hidden king.
• Dylan cast Erebus Nexus, and Peeves begged him to stop and promised to submit.

After subduing Peeves and the other two Non-Beings, Dylan gained their traits and discovered that Dementor Power let him absorb emotions and souls to strengthen himself and extend his lifespan. He tested the Boggart’s Fear Transformation and Peeves’ object manipulation, then considered how the new abilities could aid his magic research.

• Dylan claimed the Control Non-Beings achievement and acquired the Dementor, Boggart, and Peeves traits.
• Dylan found that absorbing positive emotions increased his magic power, while consuming despair and souls strengthened his life force and soul and extended his lifespan.
• Dylan discovered he could sense a target’s fears and transform into what they feared, though the form could not harm anyone or use its special abilities.
• Seven Dementors gathered around Peeves, and Little A signaled for him to keep his distance from Dylan.
• Dylan tested Peeves’ ability to move objects without a wand or magic power and judged it far less useful than his other new traits.

Dylan tested his Dementor Power in the Forbidden Forest, absorbing the souls of two Acromantulas and a black snake and discovering that souls could strengthen different aspects of him. After unlocking an achievement and receiving a Soul Dinner Knife, he inspected the unusual weapon and wondered whether he had seen a Piranha-shaped shadow.

• Dylan entered the Forbidden Forest to find Squall and encountered two young Acromantulas that attacked him.
• Dylan used the Dementor's Kiss on the Acromantulas, absorbed their souls, and sensed boosts to his Life Force and Mental Power as well as mysterious Life Threads.

Dylan met Luna Lovegood in the Forbidden Forest, and the two became friends before returning to Hogwarts. The next morning they met again in the Owlery, where Luna pointed out that Dylan’s Snowy Owl needed more than meat to eat.

• Dylan met Luna Lovegood in the Forbidden Forest, and they talked about her father’s magazine, her mother, and philosophy.
