The Order of the Phoenix gathered at Grimmauld Place after Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Ginny returned, and discussed the suspected final Horcrux, Nagini. Dumbledore asked Snape to learn from Adam how he had destroyed the other Horcruxes, hoping to find a way to protect Harry while removing the soul fragment within him.

• Dumbledore privately asked Snape to question Adam about his method of destroying Horcruxes and whether it could help save Harry.

Adam tested whether his Creation Card could make beings that altered reality’s rules, then explained his method for neutralizing Voldemort’s object Horcruxes to Professor Dumbledore. Dumbledore proposed using the Elder Wand to protect Harry by making Voldemort believe he had become its master.

• Professor Dumbledore failed to find Adam through portraits and learned from Grindelwald that Adam was hidden deep in the Forbidden Forest.

• Over the summer, Adam prepared to anchor three dimensions separately and merge them with a Sorcerer’s Stone, accepting that the stone would be permanently consumed.
• Adam began anchoring his Mind Dimension first, delaying the Material Dimension because anchoring it would stop his growth.

• Bernard described his quiet six months spent mostly at a safe house with his parents, while Klon recounted surviving the Amazon wilderness and showing the group the scar from a poisonous insect bite.

Regulus dealt with a Death Eater attack at Storm Restaurant while Adam and his allies prepared to resist the growing chaos. Eugene’s camp used anti-tank mines and RPGs to ambush the Carrow siblings’ forces, leaving the Death Eaters bewildered by the unseen attackers.

• A bespectacled man with Eastern features appeared behind Adam in his Fidelius-protected safe house, startling him.

Adam encountered Clow Reed's Avatar, a trace of Clow Reed's spirituality left in the Book of Sealing, who began teaching him about magic and the Clow Cards. The lesson led Adam to realize that the magic circles he had learned could be far more flexible than he had understood.

• Clow Reed's Avatar controlled the space around Adam, then explained that he was a trace of Clow Reed's spirituality left in the Book of Sealing.
• Clow Reed's Avatar told Adam that his contract with the Clow Cards made him half a disciple and that he had appeared to give him a lesson.
• Adam discovered that he could understand Clow Reed's Avatar through spiritual communication without realizing when the magic began.

• Clow Reed's Avatar praised Adam's quick insight and estimated that he had reached seventy or eighty percent of Clow Reed's level.

• Klon and Bernard agreed to travel to America with the others to cheer Uther on.

• Uther explained that contestants had to stay in competition housing but could explore the city, where rivals might try to sabotage them.
• Adam joked that he could use force to protect Uther, and Uther later sought his help after avoiding arrest by four Magical Congress Aurors.
• Adam pinned the Aurors to the ground and heard that Uther had been accused of exposing magic in the city, even though he had been walking in Central Park.

Adam and his companions stormed the Magical Congress of the United States of America headquarters to challenge the case against Uther. After forcing its officials to hear him out, Adam demanded an investigation into who had falsely accused Uther of using magic in front of Muggles.

• Adam explained to two vice presidents that Uther was a Duelling Competition contestant who had not been at the scene of the alleged magic use.
• Adam asked the vice presidents to investigate who had assigned the crime to Uther.

After Adam exposed the Magical Congress of the United States of America’s inability to confront him, its vice presidents investigated the arrest attempt and discovered that George had ordered it to protect his black-market betting pools. They arranged to blame Bryce and contain the scandal.

• The two vice presidents decided to investigate before asking the absent president to intervene against Adam.
• That night, they confronted George, who admitted he had targeted Uther because large bets on Uther winning threatened his betting pools with ruinous payouts.
• George said he had tried to cut ties with the betting operation, but feared losing his black-market reputation and assets.
• One vice president warned that the Congress could not defeat Adam head-on without costly help from the president or foreign countries.

• Bernard explained that Death Eater attacks had damaged Britain’s economy and prompted him to move his parents’ savings into pounds.

• Adam recognized Bryce from the previous day and challenged the vice chairman’s claim that both men had planned the attack and died by suicide.

Adam attacked the Magical Congress of the United States of America headquarters after its vice presidents refused to investigate his friend’s wrongful conviction, and Fiendfyre brought down the Woolworth Building. He later explained that only a few dozen people died, while the rest escaped or had already been transferred, leaving him frustrated that the Congress’s branches had emptied as well.

• Adam accused the two vice presidents of lying about the mastermind and identified George Graves as the true culprit.
