• Dylan silently cast the Imperius Curse on Norbert, formed a soul connection with the hatchling, and unlocked the Dragon Master achievement and Pet Power Domination.
• Dylan used his new Pet Slot to tame Norbert and decided to call the dragon Arno until its sex became clear.
• Norbert eagerly struggled to reach Dylan, who took the hatchling from Hagrid and explained that he could store it in his Pet Space.
• Dylan promised Hagrid he would keep Arno safe and secret, then stored the hatchling and rescued it when it choked on a piece of meat.
• Dylan left Hagrid’s Hut with Harry, Hermione, and Ron, accepted Ron’s apology for mentioning the egg white, and said they still had something to face.

Dylan tested the powers he could borrow from Shadow Crow and Arno, discovering that they drained his Mental Power and that Arno’s power produced smoke rather than fire. After Harry and Ron’s plan to mislead Malfoy succeeded, Malfoy sneaked out to the Forbidden Forest to stop them, but Professor McGonagall caught him in the corridor.

• Dylan used Shadow Crow’s power to become shadowy and pass his arm through his bed, then stopped when the ability rapidly drained his Mental Power.

• Professor McGonagall confronted Malfoy in a corridor and seized him by the ear for being out after hours.

• Dylan visited Professor Trelawney for Divination, where she revealed that a dream had inspired her to wear purple and that her outfit had outshone Snape's robes.

Dylan studied Divination with Professor Trelawney, who told him that his interest had improved how the other professors viewed her. After Professor McGonagall warned him against spending too much time on Divination, Dylan claimed he had seen her becoming Hogwarts' headmistress, leaving her amused and more open to the subject.

• Dylan searched the forest's edge for Malfoy and considered that he might soon face Quirrell without anyone watching.

Dylan tracked Quirrell into the Forbidden Forest and found him draining a Unicorn, then attacked him with Cruciatus and freed the creature. When Quirrell retaliated with Fiendfyre, Dylan overwhelmed his flames with a gigantic Fire Dragon, and a strange voice protested that Quirrell was exhausting its power.

• Dylan entered the Forbidden Forest hoping to find Quirrell, the injured Unicorn, and possibly Firenze.

• A strange voice complained that Quirrell was exhausting its power, while Dylan wondered whether defeating Voldemort would unlock a worthwhile achievement.

Dylan drove Voldemort and Quirrell away after overpowering their Dark Magic in the Forbidden Forest, but the spells left him mentally exhausted. He healed the wounded Unicorn, gained its consent to shave some of its horn, and then asked to collect some of its cursed blood.

• Voldemort used Quirrell’s body to counter Dylan’s Fiendfyre, but the flames persisted and forced him to flee before he extinguished them.
• Quirrell attacked Dylan with the Killing Curse, but Dylan’s stronger curse overwhelmed it and forced Quirrell to escape as black smoke.

• Dylan collected horn shavings and asked to take some of the Unicorn’s blood already spilled on the grass.

Dylan collected a wounded Unicorn’s blood and hair in the Forbidden Forest, then escaped as Hagrid arrived and returned to his dormitory. He reviewed the achievements he had unlocked for attacking and insulting Voldemort, and wondered what the rewarded notes on Dark Parasitism and Sacred Unicorn Essence Blood contained.

• Dylan collected the Unicorn’s blood, applied Potions to its wounds, and plucked some of its hair while reassuring it that Voldemort would not find him.

• Dylan saw that scamming the Unicorn had earned him ten milliliters of Sacred Unicorn Essence Blood and wondered what made it different from ordinary Unicorn blood.

Dylan unlocked the Bat-Bogey Hex and a new Cruciatus Curse feature that inflicted recurring pain, then studied how Voldemort had parasitized Quirrell. He finished the book convinced that Voldemort’s methods were vile, but he left the fight against him to Harry while planning to use Voldemort for achievements and quests.

Dylan brewed a Strengthening Solution under Professor Snape’s strict instruction, then accidentally uncovered a strange timetable on Snape’s desk. Snape burned the paper and, after Dylan left, gave him a booklet about the brain and Occlumency, setting up lessons in advanced Potions and mental defense.

• Professor Binns hinted that students could look at other people’s answers during the History of Magic exam, prompting Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Dylan to debate what he meant.

• Dylan read part of a timetable on Snape’s desk, including a crossed-out entry about preparing punishments for Lions that had been replaced with “Think of Lily.”
• Snape confronted Dylan, burned the timetable, and believed Dylan had not read it; he then told Dylan to expect advanced Potions lessons and gave him a booklet on Occlumency.

Dylan studied the Occlumency and Legilimency booklet Professor Snape gave him, then demonstrated his rapid progress during a test a week later. When Dylan tried to penetrate Snape’s mind, he found himself learning the professor’s advanced Potion-brewing techniques instead.

• Professor Snape gave Dylan a booklet covering both Occlumency and Legilimency and told him not to let emotions control him.
• Dylan studied the spells and reasoned that Snape wanted him to learn mental defense before attempting to invade others’ minds.
• After a week of practice, Dylan met Professor Snape in an Abandoned Classroom to demonstrate his Occlumency.
• Dylan resisted Snape’s probe, then used Legilimency on the professor and found mostly memories of identifying herbs and brewing Potions.
• Dylan tried to reach deeper into Snape’s mind but instead began studying the professor’s Potion techniques and ingredient handling.

Dylan accidentally breached Professor Snape’s Occlumency while using Legilimency to watch him brew a potion, glimpsing Snape’s deepest feelings before fleeing the classroom. He spent the week avoiding Snape, but Friday’s Potions Class was unavoidable, while Harry appeared troubled at breakfast.

• Dylan increased his Legilimency while watching Professor Snape brew the Draught of Living Death and broke through Snape’s mental defenses.

Harry told Dylan that his nightmares now showed Dylan fighting a mysterious attacker before killing Harry and his parents, while Dylan tried to hide how close the dreams came to reality. After Dylan brewed a Draught of Living Death for Professor Snape and demonstrated his progress in Occlumency and Legilimency, Snape passed him and gave him a notebook containing a new spell and its counter-curse.

• Dylan praised Sectumsempra to Professor Snape, who recognized Dylan’s talent with the spell and told him to return for an inspection the following week.
• Dylan reached level seven proficiency with Sectumsempra as the exams began.

Harry became convinced that Quirrell was moving against the Philosopher’s Stone, but Professor McGonagall dismissed his warning and Dumbledore was away. While Harry and his friends searched for Dylan, Dylan entered the forbidden Fourth Floor corridor to confront Quirrell and pursue a refinement task.

• Dylan reassured Ron that Scabbers would live through their Third Year, then suggested Harry’s painful scar might warn that Voldemort was making a move against the Philosopher’s Stone.
• Harry learned Dumbledore was away, and Professor McGonagall refused to believe that Quirrell posed a threat or let the students investigate the Fourth Floor.
• Harry, Ron, and Hermione searched for Dylan, then decided to head for the Fourth Floor corridor, believing Dylan might already be confronting Quirrell.
• Dylan entered the open forbidden corridor and used Trackprint to determine that Quirrell had entered the room an hour or two earlier.
• Dylan saw the sleeping three-headed dog, considered testing Imperio on it, and decided against waking it.

Dylan advanced through the magical trials beneath the trapdoor, overcoming Professor Flitwick’s flying keys and Professor McGonagall’s enchanted chess pieces with powerful spells. He entered the next room, examined a dead Troll, and judged that its killer had used the Killing Curse clumsily.

• Dylan descended past the Devil’s Snare and immobilized Professor Flitwick’s flying keys, then blasted through the locked door with Burst Break.

• Dylan identified the Forward Potion, drank it, and passed through the black flames into the final room.
• Dylan found Quirrell staring into the Mirror and startled him by warning that someone had crossed the flames.

• Quirrell recognized Dylan as Hawkwood and angrily recalled how the professors had praised Dylan and kept him from recruiting the boy.

Dylan unexpectedly obtained the Philosopher’s Stone from the Mirror of Erised while fighting Quirrell and Voldemort. Voldemort attacked with swarms of snakes, and Dylan countered with Fire God’s Path as Voldemort began sealing the room with transformed snakes.

• Quirrell accused Dylan of knowing Dark Magic, and Dylan guessed that Voldemort was hiding beneath Quirrell’s turban.
• Quirrell attacked Dylan with Avada Kedavra, but Dylan evaded the curse and struck Quirrell with Sectumsempra.

• Voldemort sent venomous snakes after Dylan, who burned them with Fire God’s Path.
• Voldemort transformed snakes into walls around the room as Dylan recognized the Transfiguration.

• Dylan analyzed the magical fluctuations of Voldemort’s black snakes and tried to imitate Voldemort’s precise control of magical power.
• Dylan summoned a Giant Viper that tore through Voldemort’s snake swarm, but Voldemort blasted the creature aside.
