Ch. 242Laboratory

Anduin finished the school year after realizing Slytherin’s growing divisions would require forceful intervention. He returned to Number 277, Diagon Alley with Qiqi and Hog, where his expanded laboratories and costly research left him worried about finding new income.

  • Anduin concluded that Slytherin’s conflicts and resentment had divided the house, and he planned to use strong measures to address the problem next year.

  • Anduin spent heavily on equipment and research materials, leaving him concerned that his Galleons would run out before graduation.

Ch. 243Blueprint

Anduin planned to turn his alchemy work into a business supplying the Ministry of Magic with tactical equipment and consumable amulets. To produce enough goods without hiring costly staff, he began designing a Magic Lathe for automated manufacture.

  • Anduin decided to start planning a business selling alchemical products from his home on Diagon Alley, with the Ministry of Magic as his main prospective customer.
  • He identified Protection Amulets, Glimmer Amulets, and Sonic Boom Amulets as staple consumables, alongside higher-end equipment such as Magic-Sealing Handcuffs, Phase Boots, and Tactical Vests.
  • Anduin considered how materials, rune precision, and magic affected the strength, capacity, and durability of Alchemical Tools.
  • He concluded that handmaking large quantities would take too much time, while hiring workers would raise his costs.
  • Anduin began designing a Magic Lathe that would cut and shape materials and carve runes automatically to produce standardized Alchemical Tools.

Ch. 244The Much-Hated Husky

Anduin struggled to find enough magic to power his rune-engraving lathe without revealing it, then rushed upstairs after learning Hog was attacking a Muggle lamp. The chapter ended as Hog’s Floating Cannon fired an electrical beam at the lamp despite Anduin’s warning.

  • Anduin calculated that operating the Magic Lathe would consume far more magic than engraving by hand, leaving him unsure how to power it.
  • Qiqi brought Anduin lunch and told him she had made several dishes from the menu he taught her.
  • Anduin asked about Hog and learned the dog had stopped chewing the sofa and started clawing at a lamp he had bought to study.

  • Anduin shouted for Hog to stop, but Hog’s cannon fired and struck the lamp with a beam of electricity.

Ch. 245Electric Shock Experiment

After Hog accidentally powered a desk lamp with magic-infused electricity, Anduin investigated whether ordinary electricity could be converted into magic. His first tests failed, so he planned to test the Desolate Lightning Magic Script next.

  • Hog accidentally lit a desk lamp with a magic-infused current, and Anduin questioned him about how much magic he had used.
  • Anduin took the lamp to his Underground Laboratory and adjusted his magic until he could keep it glowing steadily.
  • Anduin realized the lamp experiment suggested electricity might provide a source of magic and decided to investigate the conversion.
  • Anduin bought a fuel generator and assembled a discharge device to test whether ordinary electricity could power an Energy Absorption Spell array or Alchemical Amulets.
  • Anduin's tests showed that ordinary electricity had no effect on the arrays or amulets, so he decided to try the Desolate Lightning Magic Script next.

Ch. 246A Visit

Anduin confirmed that a Desolate Lightning Magic Script could absorb natural electricity, then spent most of the summer testing ways to convert it into magic. With the converter unfinished, he paused his research and visited the Longbottom and Weasley families before term began.

  • Anduin used his Spirit Binding Snake to draw some magic from a Desolate Lightning Magic Script, then found that a generator could charge it with natural electricity while an ordinary Lightning Magic Script could not.

Ch. 248Fenrir's News

  • Arthur told Anduin that Fenrir had been spotted in France after escaping the Forbidden Forest, then disappeared again.
  • Arthur said Fenrir had later been linked to dragon smuggling in Romania and might have been seen in Norway.
  • Anduin decided that finding Fenrir quickly was unrealistic and put the matter aside for now.
  • Arthur explained that Silver Spear was an underground European organization that connected smugglers with buyers and took a share of their proceeds.

Ch. 250Godfather

Anduin learned from Arthur that the laws on Muggle artifacts allowed room for selling safe magical objects, and Arthur could revise the regulations if needed. At the Weasleys’ home, Ginny’s attachment to Anduin led Molly to ask him to become her godfather.

  • Arthur explained a loophole in the law against enchanting Muggle artifacts and revealed that he had revised and supplemented the regulations himself.
  • Anduin asked Arthur whether he could legally sell magical objects made from processed Muggle artifacts, and Arthur said it was possible as long as Muggles did not see or possess them.
