Narcissa Malfoy opened the Wand Set shops in Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade, where the first sales drew large crowds. After checking on the shops, she went to find Draco and Pansy and planned to take Draco into Hogwarts.

• Penelope introduced Draco as a Malfoy, and the gathered students fell silent and stared at him.

Moriarty tested his new broom with Tonks and the Gryffindors, finding it exceptionally fast and easy to handle but in need of better stability. As the tests continued, Draco and Soldaya bickered, while Lilith left in a huff after seeing Moriarty and Tonks together.

• Draco brought Moriarty a wizarding robe from Narcissa, and Lilith complained that Narcissa had not given her a gift too.

Professor Randy taught the second-years about vampires and the dangers posed by Dark World creatures, prompting Moriarty to suspect Lilith was organizing students to pursue laws regulating them.

Moriarty learned of the campaign while comparing brooms and prepared to go to the Great Hall with Jericho and Marcus to find out Lilith’s real purpose.

• A Ravenclaw junior gave three Gryffindor sixth-years cards that revealed the International Confederation of Wizards' Secrecy Act, then slipped away after claiming the law limited Muggle-born and half-blood wizards’ job prospects.

• Moriarty told Marcus to read the reports and said he would go with Marcus and Jericho to the Great Hall once the comparison was finished.

Lilith turned a legal-awareness event into a petition urging the British Ministry of Magic to protest French accusations, drawing Hogwarts students into her campaign. Dumbledore praised the event but opposed the petition, deducted House points, and made the petitions disappear.

• Moriarty reviewed the twelve laws and decrees Marcus had read and realized Lilith was preparing to act against the Ministry’s handling of Muggle-related affairs.

• Dumbledore deducted points from Slytherin and Gryffindor and transformed the petitions into flowers that vanished.

Dumbledore stopped Lilith’s student initiative and warned the students that laws depended on social power, but Moriarty arrived with a legal problem involving Nimbus Company’s contract for his and Professor Nicolas Flamel’s new broom. He asked Lilith’s group to review the contract, leaving them to decide whether to take the opportunity after their event had been shut down.

• Lilith worried about keeping her group together and preserving her influence after the failed event.
• Moriarty entered the Great Hall and explained that Nimbus Company had offered shares in exchange for his and Professor Nicolas Flamel’s technology, potentially letting the company claim their new-model broom without compensation.
• Moriarty asked Lilith’s group to examine Nimbus Company’s contract, and Gemma agreed before Lilith explained that they had no name and were giving up their political operation.
• Lilith said the group was not a law firm and suggested Moriarty contact the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, so Moriarty began looking for someone else to help.

After Lilith and Dumbledore explained that clubs had been abolished following the deadly resistance against Grindelwald’s Saints, the students united behind Moriarty’s proposal, leaving the professors facing a clamor for change.

• Dumbledore praised the White Coats and Lilith, then proposed that they offer legal aid at Hogwarts and help address Moriarty’s contract with Nimbus Company.

Moriarty prepared Slytherin for its match against Gryffindor, hoping to impress Ludo Bagman and Roman as he pursued a place on the England National Team. The teams took the pitch, and the match was about to begin.
