• Moody told Anduin and Dumbledore that the trial was about to begin, and they followed him down to the underground Trial Chamber.

Igor Karkaroff testified before the Wizengamot, naming Death Eaters in exchange for possible leniency. His accusation of Barty Crouch Jr. led to the young man’s arrest, and Barty Crouch stepped down from the trial.

• Director Barty Crouch opened Karkaroff’s hearing and allowed Anduin a vote in deciding whether Karkaroff deserved leniency.

• Aurors seized Barty Crouch Jr., while he cursed Anduin as they dragged him away.
• Director Barty Crouch recused himself because his son was implicated and asked Dumbledore to take over the proceedings.

After the trial, Anduin returned to Longbottom house, visited his neighbors, and moved to Diagon Alley to build an extensive magical security system. He finished fortifying his home and received Karkaroff, who had reported a list to the Ministry but remained under Anduin’s control through a capsule in his stomach.

• Dumbledore took over Igor Karkaroff’s trial, and the council released Karkaroff in exchange for valuable information.
• Anduin visited the Weasley, Diggory, and Lovegood families, gave them Defense Amulets, and supplied Rita Skeeter with a prepared article and photographs.

• Anduin’s Alert Charm detected Karkaroff at the front door, and Anduin let him inside.
• Karkaroff said he had given the Ministry the list as ordered and asked Anduin to remove the capsule; Anduin refused and warned him to behave.

Anduin sent Karkaroff to Northern Europe with money and instructions to gather materials and watch Yaxley’s brother. He then began deciphering an ancient Lightning Magic Script, which reacted to his wand and Dark Brush; when his magic touched it, he cried out in bliss.

• Anduin agreed to let Karkaroff travel to Durmstrang to stay with his younger brother.
• Anduin gave Karkaroff Yaxley’s letter, a list of materials to collect, five hundred Galleons, and a Tracking Charm.
• Karkaroff left through Anduin’s fireplace, and Anduin returned to his study to examine the Metal Magic Book.
• Anduin prepared potions and protective clothing before bringing his wand toward the Lightning Magic Script.
• The script sent electricity into Anduin’s wand, and silver-blue light appeared on the Dark Brush.
• Anduin channeled his magic into the script and cried out in bliss.

Anduin connected with the Lightning Magic Script in Dark Brush and relived the final memory of the Thunderbird from which it came. He mastered the rune and named it Wild Thunder.

• Anduin sensed the Lightning Magic Script awaken the Thunderbird Staff Heart in Dark Brush and began tracing the rune with his magic.
• The rune showed Anduin a Thunderbird chasing a storm and drawing in lightning in an attempt to evolve, but it fell before reaching its goal.

• Anduin used what he had experienced to master the rune's structure and patterns within minutes.
• Anduin conjured the Lightning Magic Script in his palm and named it Wild Thunder.

Anduin absorbed the Desolate Lightning Magic Script into Dark Brush, tested its electrical output, and planned further research before returning to Hogwarts after summer. On the train, Vivian greeted him, and he confronted her about her supposedly exclusive report.

• Anduin absorbed the Original Lightning Magic Script into Dark Brush, strengthening the wand and adding silver threads to its handle.
• Anduin measured the scripts’ voltage and found that Desolate Lightning produced about five times the voltage of normal lightning at the same Magic Power Output.
• Anduin wrote down plans to develop Desolate Lightning spells, test its properties, and create equipment that could use it.
• Anduin spent the rest of summer studying, conducting experiments, practicing spells, and making Alchemical Tools.
• Anduin returned to King's Cross Station, where people recognized him as the Battle Hero, and boarded the Hogwarts train.
• Vivian greeted Anduin in his compartment, and he asked her what her so-called exclusive report had been about.

Anduin gathered Vivian, Charles, Viren, and the others to measure their Magic Power Reserves using blood samples and a new device. After finding that Vivian had only 168 ticks, he explained how his Magic Power Meter 2.0 estimated a wizard’s total reserve.

• Vivian admitted that she had given a reporter an interview about Anduin, and Anduin scolded her for the article.
• Anduin brought blood-drawing supplies into the compartment and took samples from Vivian, Charles, Viren, and the others.
• Anduin used a round device to scan Vivian and recorded a reading, then tested her blood sample with a dropper instrument.
• Anduin told Vivian that her Magic Power Reserve measured 168 ticks and said he would train her harder.
• Anduin explained that the Magic Power Meter 2.0 combined a body-blood-volume reading with the Magic Value in a blood sample to calculate a wizard’s total reserve.

Anduin measured his friends’ Magic Values and planned training experiments before returning to Hogwarts for the new school year. Two months later, he entered the Forbidden Forest to investigate attacks on Magical Creatures and used his equipment and a spell to trace the bloodied scene.

• Anduin measured Vivian, Viren, Charles, Bill, and Eeyup’s Magic Values, then planned individual training programs to study how different methods affected magical growth.
• Anduin measured his own Magic Value at 418 ticks and attributed his high result to eating more Magical Creatures.
• Anduin returned to Hogwarts, where students watched him after he became known as a Battle Hero, but he focused on his research and kept to himself.
• Anduin entered the Forbidden Forest to investigate the brutal attacks on Hogwarts’s Magical Creatures and to test his upgraded equipment and charms.
• Anduin examined the bloodstains where a Hippogriff had been attacked and cast a spell that revealed a trail of lights and colored mist.

Anduin used his Tracking Spell to investigate the creature that had attacked a Hippogriff, concluding that it was probably a local Werewolf. He followed the creature’s trail into the Forbidden Forest until it vanished at a river.

• Anduin examined the fight scene and used the Hippogriff’s tracks to determine that its attacker could not fly and likely fought with powerful claws.
• Anduin followed the attacker’s blood-scent trail and found dark hair stained with blood that did not belong to the Hippogriff.
• Anduin used the hair as a tracking sample and combined the Tracking Spell with the Echo Spell to distinguish the creature’s trail from those of other animals.
• Anduin gathered wild herbs as he followed the trail deeper into the Forbidden Forest.
• Anduin reached a river where the trail stopped and wondered whether the Werewolf had crossed, or swum downstream.

Anduin tracked the Werewolf deeper into the Forbidden Forest and found signs that Centaurs were also pursuing it. As night fell, he followed their hoofprints and the Werewolf’s tracks toward an alarming encounter.

• Anduin crossed the river, marked the crossing point, and searched both banks for the Werewolf’s trail.
• He found a dead stag with claw marks and the Werewolf’s faint scent, suggesting it had hunted there before moving upstream.
• Anduin discovered a broken, traditionally crafted arrow in the carcass and suspected Centaurs had been involved.
• He followed the Werewolf’s increasingly direct trail and sent Hagrid a message that he would not return that night.
• Anduin found multiple sets of Centaur hoofprints ahead of the Werewolf’s tracks and hurried after them, unsettled that the Werewolf seemed to be following the Centaurs.

Anduin followed the Werewolves’ tracks to a blood-soaked crime scene, where he found and revived an injured House-elf named Qiqi. Qiqi woke in terror, and Anduin began questioning him.

• Anduin found tracks from about four Werewolves and a tall human joining the lone Werewolf’s trail, then followed their route to investigate.
• Anduin used ravens to locate a clearing with a mangled person, a smashed wooden chest, and signs of a Confringo blast.
• Anduin discovered an unconscious House-elf beneath a bush and treated his injuries with a Nourishing Potion and a Healing Spell.
• The House-elf woke and cried out in fear, so Anduin used a Fear Spell to quiet him.
• Anduin learned the House-elf was named Qiqi and asked him to answer questions.

Anduin questioned Qiqi about the attack in the Forbidden Forest and learned that Qiqi’s master, a black market merchant, had been ambushed by a werewolf wizard and several werewolves. Anduin showed Qiqi his master’s corpse, and Qiqi broke down in tears.

• Anduin calmed Qiqi with a potion and asked him to describe what happened in the Forbidden Forest.
• Qiqi explained that a wizard had inspected his master’s Cargo Crate, complained about the missing potions, and was joined by six werewolves after hearing a sound.
• Anduin pieced together that the werewolf wizard had likely attacked the black market merchant and injured Qiqi as the elf fled.
• Qiqi said his master had treated him well and explained that he had run instead of using Apparition because his master had told him to run.
• Anduin showed Qiqi the mangled corpse, and Qiqi recognized his master and began to cry.

Anduin examined the Black Market Merchant’s death scene, stopped Qiqi from killing herself, and took her along as he pursued the Werewolves. He chose to follow the main group, suspecting they had come to capture magical creatures and were now targeting the centaurs.

• Anduin found signs that the merchant had been wounded by a Cutting Charm and killed by a Werewolf, and identified potion ingredients left in the Cargo Crate.
• Anduin stopped Qiqi from harming herself and told her to stay with him and help chase the Werewolves.
• Anduin buried the merchant, took Qiqi back to the fork in the tracks, and chose to pursue the main Werewolf group.
• Anduin reasoned that the Werewolves had sought unicorns to capture but had likely turned toward the centaurs after failing to find them.

Anduin used his Glimmer Cloak to hide himself and Qiqi while tracking the werewolves through the forest. From a tree, they watched the werewolves and centaurs fighting in a clearing, but Qiqi still could not identify the wizard who had killed her master.

• Anduin pursued the werewolves through the dark forest with Qiqi under his arm.
• Anduin activated his Glimmer Cloak, which concealed their sound and scent and cast a Disillusionment Charm.
• Anduin and Qiqi ate jerky, then climbed through the trees to scout the werewolves.
• Anduin saw that the werewolves and centaurs had engaged in battle in a clearing.
• Anduin moved closer to observe the fight, while Qiqi could not see the wizard who had killed her master.

Anduin watched a werewolf pack cornering a group of centaurs and learned that their leader planned to capture the young centaurs. After the Centaur Elder prophesied the werewolves’ deaths, the Werewolf Wizard attacked with a cloud of Sleeping Potion.

• Anduin counted eleven werewolves surrounding the centaurs and identified the Werewolf Wizard as their leader.

• The Werewolf Wizard crushed a vial and sent a cloud of Sleeping Potion toward the centaurs.

Anduin watched the Centaurs struggle against the Werewolf Wizard and his Native Werewolves while wondering whether the Centaur Elder’s Prophecy referred to him. When the centaurs faced defeat, Anduin ordered Qiqi to stay back and leaped into the air to intervene with Eye of the Storm.

• Qiqi recognized the stolen Sleeping Potions, while Anduin wondered whether the Centaur Elder had prophesied his involvement.
• The Centaurs charged through the potion clouds, and the Werewolves met them in a fierce battle.
• The Centaur Elder and the Werewolf Wizard fought to a stalemate as the other centaurs were wounded and weakened by the potion.
• Werewolves disarmed the three young centaurs, and one collapsed after succumbing to the Sleeping Potion.
• The Werewolf Wizard mocked the Centaur Elder’s Prophecy as the battle turned against the centaurs.
• Anduin told Qiqi to stay back, then leaped into the air and cast Eye of the Storm.

Anduin joined the battle between the centaurs and werewolves, using Eye of the Storm and Static Pulse to protect the centaurs from his indiscriminate lightning. As the werewolves charged, he began forming electric orbs with Thunderstorm Orb and Electric Circuit.

• Anduin cast Eye of the Storm and killed a charging werewolf with Sectumsempra.
• The Centaur Elder rallied the centaurs, but their exhausted group still could not break through the werewolves.
• Anduin cast Static Pulse over the centaurs, protecting them from the lightning and letting them gather near him safely.
• The Werewolf Wizard ordered the werewolves to charge and bite everyone to death.
• Anduin began casting Thunderstorm Orb and Electric Circuit as the werewolves charged.

Anduin used Thunderstorm Orbs to trap the werewolves in electric circuits and killed several while protecting the orbs from the Werewolf Wizard. As the Werewolf Wizard tried to bargain and the Centaur Elder urged him to flee, Anduin turned his anger toward the elder.

• Anduin arranged five Thunderstorm Orbs into a circuit array that paralyzed and trapped the charging werewolves.
• Anduin killed several trapped werewolves with Sectumsempra and Cluster Lightning as the Eye of the Storm struck them.
• The Werewolf Wizard cast Confringo at an orb, but Anduin shielded it from the explosion.

• Anduin refused, and the Centaur Elder warned the werewolves that their scheme would fail.
• Anduin glared at the Centaur Elder for urging the werewolves to escape.

Anduin confronted the werewolves after their leader gave them Mad Blood Potion, which made them stronger and resistant to his spells. He used enchanted artifacts to blind and disable them, but the fight continued as his Spirit Binding Snake brought one werewolf down.

• The Centaur Elder provoked the Werewolf Leader, who gave Mad Blood Potion to the gathered werewolves.
• Anduin tried to stop the werewolves from taking the potion, but the Werewolf Wizard blocked his spells with Shield Charms.
• The drugged werewolves forced their way through Anduin's Electric Circuit and endured his lightning and Sectumsempra spells.
• Anduin abandoned his plan to defeat them with spells alone and deployed Metal Amulets, a Metal Sphere, the Spirit Binding Snake, and the Metal Magic Book.
• Anduin's Silent Sound Wave dazed the werewolves, while his Endless Darkness Amulet blinded them and threw them into confusion.
• The Spirit Binding Snake coiled around one werewolf and shocked it until it fell to the ground, twitching.

Anduin used his Lincoln Orb to block the Werewolf Wizard’s curses, then unleashed a devastating spell that destroyed the five remaining werewolves. The Werewolf Wizard escaped by Apparition, while Anduin collapsed into heavy exhaustion and the surviving centaurs witnessed his power.

• The Lincoln Orb intercepted the Werewolf Wizard’s attacks with successive shields, allowing Anduin to focus on the remaining werewolves.
• Anduin gathered magic for a powerful attack as two blinded werewolves advanced toward him by scent.
• The Lincoln Orb shielded Anduin from the Werewolf Wizard’s Killing Curse, and the Werewolf Wizard fled by Apparition.
