Chapter Summaries

Roger, Harry, and Nicolaos explored an ancient wizarding site in Greece, where they discovered the brutal methods ancient wizards had used in their experiments on Muggles. The grisly findings dashed Nicolaos’s hopes of building a public center for ancient magic research, while Roger resolved to prevent future collective punishment.

• Nicolaos explained that he hoped discoveries from ancient wizarding sites could help restore Greece’s former glory, and Roger warned that Ancient Magic was powerful but difficult to control and mostly superseded by modern magic.
• Roger, Harry, and Nicolaos traveled by enchanted ship to a hidden ancient residence, where Roger cleared numerous traps and curses on the way.
• Using the Time Phantom Shuttle Spell, the group witnessed an ancient wizard keeping dozens of Muggles alive while disassembling and transforming their bodies in experiments.
• Roger recalled the Witch Hunt and decided that, when the Three-Dimensional Law became widespread, he would work to ensure the guilty alone bore responsibility.
• Nicolaos abandoned his hopes of turning the recovered knowledge into a public research haven, and the group sailed toward another island in the Aegean Sea.

Roger encouraged Harry to study the Love's Magic protecting him, while Dumbledore learned that Germany's unusually generous cooperation offer was connected to Roger and Harry's travels. Dumbledore understood the situation and how it should be handled.

• Roger's travels through ancient wizard sites gave him new ideas about his Three-Dimensional Law, while Harry struggled to engage with Ancient Magic.
• Roger urged Harry to learn to control the Love's Magic on him, and Harry agreed it was worth trying alongside his focus on Time Magic.
• Fudge told Dumbledore that German Minister Vogel was visiting Britain to propose extensive cooperation accompanied by apparent gifts.
• Fudge noted that Charlotte Krause, who had accompanied Roger and Harry in Germany, was part of Vogel's diplomatic entourage.
• Dumbledore connected the German offer to Roger and Harry's travels and understood how to respond.

Vogel visited Britain to secure cooperation with Roger, whom he believed could usher in a new era, while Dumbledore remained wary of political influence on him. In Greece, Roger received news of the German delegation’s negotiations, then planned to travel with Harry to outer space before continuing to the United Kingdom.

• Vogel told Dumbledore and Fudge that Germany wanted to cooperate with Roger and avoid being left behind by changing times.
• Dumbledore welcomed sincere cooperation but warned Vogel against ulterior motives, and Vogel said he only wanted to offer support without asking for anything in return.
• During Roger and Harry’s fifteenth day in Greece, Roger received Dumbledore’s letter explaining that Britain and Germany had agreed to let Roger decide whether to accept German cooperation.
• Roger told Harry they would soon leave Greece, and Harry chose to continue traveling with him rather than return to Britain.
• Roger planned to take Harry to outer space before their final stop in the United Kingdom and considered traveling by rocket to fulfill his childhood dream.

Roger helped Nicolaos organize temporal research before preparing Harry for a trip into space. After Harry practiced a protective spell and Roger built an alchemical spacecraft, Roger named it the Dream Weaver, leaving them ready for its maiden journey.

• Roger thanked Nicolaos for his help, then declined his invitation to stay longer in Greece.
• Roger returned home and coached Harry in a Protego variant meant to shield him from the dangers of space.
• Roger found that no suitable rocket launch was available and decided to build a spacecraft using magic and alchemy.
• Harry watched Roger finish the spacecraft and asked what it was called.
• Roger named the spacecraft the Dream Weaver.

Roger and Harry launched Roger’s alchemical rocket into space, where Roger confirmed that magic worked beyond Earth and that distance from living beings slightly weakened their spellcasting. After enjoying the view and testing the sun and sound in space, Roger realized he could turn space debris into a dangerous weapon.

• Roger launched his alchemical rocket with Harry aboard, and Harry excitedly watched Earth grow smaller as they climbed.
• Roger tested magic outside Earth’s atmosphere and confirmed that magic still worked, though the enhancement from living beings’ thoughts weakened slightly at a distance.
• Roger used Apparition to enter space directly, saw the sun without atmospheric filtering, and tested speaking where sound could not travel.
• Roger looked down at Earth and reflected on the growing problem of space debris and humanity’s future in space.
• Roger realized he could use magic to create a dangerous weapon from space debris.

Roger imagined how orbital Transfiguration could become a catastrophic weapon in the hands of wizards and worried about the future, then continued his space journey with Harry. As the Dream Weaver landed on the Moon, Roger noticed that magical power had strengthened again near it, leaving the cause unclear.

• Roger realized he could use Transfiguration, alchemy, and remote magic to create orbital bombardment, and feared other powerful wizards might eventually do the same.
• Roger asked Harry whether he wanted to become a Time-Space Police officer, then withdrew the suggestion and reassured him that he had a way to handle the future danger.
• Roger and Harry continued toward the Moon while Roger recorded how distance from Earth affected magic and tested spells in space.
• As they neared the Moon, Roger discovered that magical power had increased again and wondered what caused it.
• Roger used Apparition to take Harry onto the lunar surface, where Harry asked whether they were the first wizards to land on the Moon.

Roger’s failed attempt to create a Moon Rabbit revealed that Conceptual Creation could redefine existing Magical Creatures, not just create new ones. He realized he could potentially eliminate creatures born from human thought or alter the wizarding world’s entire biological chain, while the answer to another question remained to be revealed.

• Roger failed to create a Moon Rabbit because humanity’s longing for one was not intense enough to sustain a new species.
• Harry asked whether a werewolf living on the Moon would escape the wolf curse, and Roger speculated that it might become a normal person outside Earth’s magical ritual.
• Roger discovered that fear surrounding werewolves could let him create a new kind of werewolf if he first removed all existing werewolves.
• Roger concluded that Conceptual Creation could eliminate thought-born Magical Creatures or redefine them, allowing him to change the wizarding world’s biological chain.
• Roger turned his attention to Earth and began revising his future plans, while the chapter left his other discovery unexplained.

Roger discovered that magic carried the collective longings of intelligent beings across vast distances and realized he could search for alien civilizations by detecting unusual concentrations of thought. After warning Harry about the danger of contacting unknown civilizations, Roger protected the Dream Weaver and set out with him to explore the Moon’s Dark Side.

• As Roger worked to create a Moon Rabbit, he sensed powerful longings gathered around the moon and realized that magic could transmit responses across distance.
• Roger concluded that he could look for alien civilizations by searching stars and systems for unusual concentrations of thought, and he considered the danger that another civilization might be watching him.
• Roger told Harry about his discovery and warned him not to initiate contact with unknown civilizations while they were weak.
• Roger reflected that magic could restrain civilizations and become a barrier to their development.
• Roger cast a defensive spell over the Dream Weaver, left it on the moon, and headed with Harry toward the Moon’s Dark Side.

Roger tested observation equipment on the Moon’s far side while Harry reflected on his need for human connection and realized he was not suited to immortality. Harry’s wish to share the lunar experience with loved ones inspired Roger to consider a way to communicate across interstellar distances.

• Roger tested transformed observation equipment on the Moon’s far side, but found the view disappointing.
• Harry recognized that Roger’s curiosity kept him steady in the lunar isolation, while his own need for love and lasting connections made immortality unbearable.
• Roger made Moon Ice pendants as souvenirs, and Harry wished their family and friends could share the experience of standing on the Moon.
• Harry’s emotional realization subtly changed his Mental Power, which Roger noticed.
• Roger proposed combining his ideas about thoughts crossing distance and Conceptual Creation magic to develop a method of Interstellar Communication.

Roger created Thought Dream Shadow, a short-lived magical creature that let sleeping people communicate instantly across vast distances. He asked Dumbledore to teach the creation ritual to the other professors so they could meet in their dreams on the moon.

• Roger spent seven days experimenting on the moon and created a new Magical Creature by lowering his requirements for its power and lifespan.
• As Hogwarts prepared for the new school year, Dumbledore worked to secure his old friend's appointment as Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, though approval from the Board of Directors remained a hurdle.
• Roger appeared in Dumbledore's office as a translucent Dream Shadow and explained how it let sleeping people communicate across great distances.
• Dumbledore learned that a Dream Shadow formed when someone slept inside a ring thirteen centimeters taller than themselves while longing for another person, and vanished when the sleeper woke.
• Roger asked Dumbledore to tell McGonagall and the other professors the ritual so they could gather in their dreams on the moon.

Roger brought Hogwarts professors to the moon for a gathering, where they explored its magical environment and discussed the possibilities it offered. Snape shared his ambition to pursue Eternal Life, and Roger warned him that the path involved many technical challenges.

• Snape was shocked when Dumbledore told him that Roger could create Magical Creatures, while Hagrid became eager to discuss Roger’s Dream Shadow.
• Roger reunited with the professors in mid-June and realized that Dream Shadows’ blank expressions made them look comically vacant.
• The professors laughed at one another’s Dream Shadow faces before Flitwick asked Roger how he had created an atmosphere on the moon.
• Sprout and Snape examined the moon’s soil and magical potential, while Harry took in the lunar scenery.
• Snape told Roger he wanted to pursue Eternal Life, and Roger cautioned him that the effort would require overcoming many technical challenges.

Roger discussed Snape’s plan to create an Elixir of Life, then reassured Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall about his recent activities. Hagrid suggested Roger could draw on the thoughts of intelligent creatures beyond humans and humanoids for his Conceptual Creation.

• Roger advised Snape to consult Nicolas Flamel, whose experience with the Philosopher’s Stone could help with Snape’s Elixir of Life.
• Roger offered to speak with the Board of Directors for Dumbledore, but Dumbledore declined and asked about Roger’s dealings with the German Ministry of Magic.
• Roger explained that he had shown the German minister the form in which his life existed, and Dumbledore accepted that the minister could think what he liked.
• Professor McGonagall asked whether Roger had been well during his travels, and Roger reassured her with stories from his time away.
• Hagrid told Roger that many intelligent creatures beyond humans, goblins, and Centaurs might provide the thoughts needed for his Conceptual Creation.

Roger warned Hagrid that uniting magical creatures’ thoughts could create a growing God of Magical Creatures and provoke conflict between beasts and humanoid species, so he rejected the idea. Hagrid reconsidered how to handle Dream Shadows, while Roger gained a new idea for advancing Dimensional Magic using the Alaya Will linking versions of himself across time and space.

• Hagrid explained that magical creatures’ pure, steadfast thoughts could be gathered through Conceptual Creation to create a God of Magical Creatures.
• Roger warned that expanding magical creature populations and intelligence could lead to a conflict between magical creatures and humanoid species, and Hagrid agreed to abandon his plan.
• Hagrid told Roger that Dream Shadows could become dangerous if they developed further, and Roger affirmed his decision to make them temporary and disposable.
• Hagrid’s discussion of populations gave Roger the idea of using a group with identical thoughts to advance Dimensional Magic.
• Roger identified the Time Plague and the Alaya Will connecting himself across time and space as a ready-made collective of similar minds.

Roger explained how controlling the instant of traveling through time might let him gather power outside the timeline, though he planned to pursue the dangerous method only after growing stronger. He told Dumbledore that Voldemort was refining his time-based transformation by gathering his Horcruxes, and warned that Voldemort was becoming harder to kill even as his perfectionism risked leaving him behind.

• Roger reasoned that a time-traveling wizard could potentially gather power outside the linear timeline, but he postponed attempting it because of the risk of backlash.
• Dumbledore asked when Roger would return, and Roger said they would begin preparing for the voyage the next day.
• Dumbledore asked about Voldemort, and Roger explained that Grindelwald had maneuvered Voldemort into making his fate transparent to Roger.
• Roger projected Voldemort's Horcruxes and predicted that Voldemort would gather them so versions of himself could clash and devour one another.
• Roger explained that Voldemort's pursuit of a more perfect self would slow his progress while others advanced, but warned Dumbledore that Voldemort's research into space-time was making him harder to kill.

Roger and Harry returned from the Moon by repeated spatial jumps, then parted in London with Harry carrying a Time-Turner to spend enough time with his relatives. In the United Kingdom, Roger used time magic to seek out the past and discovered its dangerous potential.

• Roger repeatedly Apparated toward Earth with Harry, who became so ill that they had to stop several times.
• Roger found that spatial transmission still had slight deviations and decided to postpone research into interstellar travel.
• In Privet Drive, Roger gave Harry a Time-Turner so he could spend more time with his relatives before school began.
• Roger traveled alone through the United Kingdom and used the Time Phantom Shuttle Spell to explore the past.
• Roger realized that the Time Phantom Shuttle Spell and Time Cinema Spell were dangerous because they wielded the power of time.

Roger discovered that Merlin might be powerful enough to sense his time magic and glimpse the future, so he stopped investigating Merlin’s past. As Hogwarts approached, Roger returned to Diagon Alley to prepare for the school year and encountered Luna Lovegood.

• Roger’s Crisis Premonition warned him that tracing Merlin’s history with the Time Phantom Shuttle Spell could let Merlin glimpse the future, so Roger decided to postpone the investigation until he could protect his timeline further.
• Roger explored the histories of Hogwarts’ founders but remained unsatisfied without learning more about Hogwarts itself, and he decided to return for the start of term.
• Roger reflected that Hogwarts offered expert knowledge and protection through Dumbledore, while he remained wary of Dumbledore and other powerful seers such as Grindelwald.
• Roger noticed new shops selling discounted German magical materials in Diagon Alley and inferred that trade cooperation with Germany had begun.
• Luna Lovegood spotted Roger through the gathering of Pestering Mites, approached him, and greeted him warmly.

Luna Lovegood went to Diagon Alley with her father, Xenophilius, to buy her Hogwarts supplies and encountered Roger amid a strange surge of Pestering Mites. She joined him and began to suspect the mites were carrying thoughts and emotions drawn from people, while Xenophilius caught up and saw her talking with the Little Seer.

• Luna and Xenophilius left home to shop for her Hogwarts supplies, and Luna felt happier as she bought her wand.
• As they headed toward Flourish and Blotts, Luna saw Pestering Mites swarming toward Roger in a mass that only she could perceive.
• Luna entered the swarm and felt the mites convey messages urging her to understand herself, strengthen her resolve, and become stronger.
• Luna conjectured that Pestering Mites fed on thoughts and emotions released into the void before returning them to people's minds.
• Luna called out to Roger, and the mites around her scattered as she reached him; they greeted each other and talked about her school preparations.
• Xenophilius caught up with Luna and saw her chatting with Roger, whose fame as the Little Seer had drawn his attention.

Roger spent the afternoon with Luna, whose unusual intuition detected changes in the Pestering Mites around him, while he considered the dangerous next step in his research. Hermione then arrived and told Roger she had reached the realm he had taught her, prompting him to recognize that she had developed Second Magic.

• Roger greeted Xenophilius, who worried that Luna's interest in him could draw her into danger.
• Luna asked Roger about strange creatures and places, and he enjoyed her unusual perspective while considering how she might approach the Three-Dimensional Law.
• Roger reflected that his preparations for the Time Plague were nearly complete and questioned whether pursuing Snape-inspired immortality would leave him himself.
• Luna noticed the Pestering Mites around Roger shift from orderly flight to chaotic patterns and then back again.
• Hermione arrived, met Luna, and told Roger she had touched the realm of the magic he taught her.
• Roger recognized that Hermione had developed Second Magic, and Luna overheard the revelation when he cast a soundproofing spell without excluding her.

Hermione recounted how her concern for House-elves and conflict with her friends awakened her Dimensional Magic, Mind Connects All Phenomena. Roger explained why its power was unsuitable to anchor as Second Magic and offered to guide her research, asking whether she desired power.

• Hermione told Roger and Luna how seeing House-elves treated as slaves shattered her worldview and drove her to use the Three-Dimensional Law.
• Hermione awakened Dimensional Magic: Mind Connects All Phenomena, which linked minds and could also connect magic power.
• Hermione used her new ability to understand her friends and the House-elves, but concluded that wizarding society had little room for change.
• Roger said Second Magic needed to be universal, bridge mind and matter, and allow quantifiable accumulation, so Hermione's power was not suitable to anchor as hers.
• Roger offered Hermione a direction for researching Second Magic and asked whether she desired power.

Roger warned Hermione that overusing Mind Connects All Phenomena could contaminate her mind and soul, and she chose to delay answering his proposal until she felt clear-headed. He then explained Second Magic to Luna while withholding details about the Three-Dimensional Law, leaving his plan to guide her forward without forcing her.

• Roger warned Hermione that Mind Connects All Phenomena could taint her mind and eventually split her mind and soul.
• Hermione thanked Roger, recognized that her state of mind was affected, and asked for time before deciding about his earlier proposal.
• Luna asked Roger what Second Magic was, and he agreed to explain it.
• Roger explained that Second Magic was a supernatural power directed by thought, while privately asking Hermione not to reveal the Three-Dimensional Law to Luna.
• Roger decided to withhold the Three-Dimensional Law until Luna's mental flaw was addressed, but would not force her to pursue magic.
