Chapter Summaries

Anduin used Thor to communicate with a captured phoenix, learned it was starving and weakened by restraints, and freed it from its cage and chains. The phoenix collapsed after taking flight, so Anduin gave it Warthog Ribs to help it regain strength.

• Thor shrank to pug size with Anduin's Shrinking Ring and began communicating with the phoenix.
• Thor translated that the phoenix was starving and that its Magic-blocking Shackles had made it sluggish.
• Anduin studied the cage's powerful space-sealing runes and drained its magic to remove the lid.
• Anduin guided the magic in the phoenix's chains until they loosened and released the bird.
• The freed phoenix tried to fly but crashed from weakness, so Anduin gave it Warthog Ribs.

• Evil Mother-in-law Bird led the convoy through Norway to Finnmark, where Thestral estimated they would leave the Pure Land Society’s territory in half a day.

Evil Mother-in-law Bird’s convoy struggled through Finnmark’s brutal cold, while Karkaroff convinced Durmstrang headmaster Seth Jacobson to pursue the Silver Spear. Karkaroff joined the search after Anduin promised he would survive, and the Jacobson party eventually found its target.

• After searching for more than two hours, Jacobson’s party found the Silver Spear about a hundred kilometers from Durmstrang.

The Evil Mother-in-law Bird survived Seth’s devastating blast but was seriously injured, and the Silver Spears prepared to hold their ground until the Thunderbird arrived.

• Seth opened the battle with a Killing Curse, and the Evil Mother-in-law Bird blocked it with a stone wall while the Jacobson clansmen killed two wizards beside her.

• The Thestral learned that the Evil Mother-in-law Bird had suffered serious internal injuries, but she refused to abandon the cargo and said she had called the Thunderbird for help.

Otis Yaxley fought Karkaroff during the Pure Land Society’s counterattack, then escaped as Seth’s forces overwhelmed the attackers. Back at camp, Otis confronted the Silver Spears and learned the Evil Mother-in-law Bird was badly injured and their counterattack had been meant to buy time for reinforcements.

With Apparition blocked and Evil Mother-in-law Bird unwilling to abandon the cargo, Seth launched a powerful spell at her as the attackers closed in.

• Thestral looked to Evil Mother-in-law Bird for a Portkey, but she hesitated to leave the cargo behind as Seth cast Impact Confringo at her.

Thunderbird arrived to confront Seth and the Pure Land Society after their attack seemed to overwhelm the Silver Spears. He revealed Blue Fierce Fire and drove back their combined magic, but the battle remained unresolved as both sides faced off again.

• Seth’s Explosion Spell destroyed the Thestral’s enlarged rocky shelter and engulfed the area in dust.

• Thunderbird dismissed the Pure Land Society’s threats and summoned a crimson Fierce Fire Long Saber before they attacked him with a barrage of curses.

• Thunderbird killed eight of Seth's people in moments, leaving Seth to fear that his entire group would be wiped out within minutes.

Seth sacrificed himself to help six members of the Pure Land Society escape the Thunderbird and the Blue Fierce Fire barrier. The survivors regrouped with Karkaroff, Knut, and the wounded, while Karkaroff wondered whether Anduin could see the future.

• Seth ordered the Pure Land Society wizards to retreat and covered them as the Thunderbird pursued them, killing nine of the sixteen who had joined the attack.
• Seth broke a hole in the Blue Fierce Fire barrier, but the Thunderbird struck him with Impediment Jinxes and sent him into the flames.
• Before he died, Seth cursed the Silver Spear and thought of the Jacobson family, while Anduin acknowledged his loyalty and considered what to do with the survivors.
• The six surviving wizards could not Apparate, so they turned back to reunite with Karkaroff, Knut, and the wounded rather than abandon them.
• The survivors told Karkaroff and Knut that Seth had died, leaving Karkaroff stunned and questioning whether Anduin could see the future.

Thunderbird cornered Karkaroff and the Pure Land Society wizards, but Karkaroff stepped forward to protect them and unexpectedly withstood Thunderbird’s powerful Fiendfyre attack. Anduin’s voice then criticized Karkaroff for making his spell look unimpressive.

• Thunderbird appeared behind the fleeing Pure Land Society wizards and mocked them before launching Impact Confringo at them.
• Karkaroff blocked the explosion and declared that he would hold Thunderbird off so his companions could escape.

• Anduin spoke beside Karkaroff’s ear, telling him to make his spell look more intimidating.

Anduin staged Karkaroff’s apparent victory over Thunderbird, convincing the Pure Land Society wizards that Karkaroff had fought off the Silver Spear. The survivors accepted Karkaroff into the Jacobson family’s fold, while Thunderbird returned to camp and learned the battle had killed 18 of his 53 allies; several Pure Land Society members had escaped.

• Anduin coached Karkaroff to deflect his Fiendfyre dramatically so he could retreat and make the confrontation look like a real duel.
• Karkaroff’s burst of magic pushed back Thunderbird’s flames, and Thunderbird praised him before Apparating away.

• Thunderbird returned to camp and asked Evil Mother-in-law Bird about the transport team, whose cargo was safe but whose 53 wizards included 18 dead and six seriously injured.
• Evil Mother-in-law Bird asked whether Thunderbird had killed Seth and all the Pure Land Society wizards, but Thunderbird revealed that a powerful ally had helped some of them escape.

The Evil Mother-in-law Bird’s group escaped the Pure Land Society by crossing into Russia, but their wounded were in critical condition and the exhausted transport party could not continue. Anduin returned to Germany to give the club an alibi, planning to travel back to Northern Europe through the Vanishing Cabinet.

• The Thunderbird agreed to escort the group across the Norwegian border, while the Evil Mother-in-law Bird ordered them to rest for three hours before leaving with their injured.

• Anduin returned to Germany and told Hog he would report to Silver Spear Headquarters before going back to Northern Europe through the Vanishing Cabinet.

Anduin and Hog suspected Kuhle was using the Berlin United Front as leverage against Pitt, while Anduin chose not to approach him. At Silver Spear Headquarters, the Thunderbird requested aid for the Northern Europe shipment, and Anduin grew concerned about how the club made its Elixir of Immortality.

• Hog told Anduin that the Berlin United Front had clashed with the West Germany Advancement Association, creating public backlash and delaying Pitt’s Separation Bill.
• Anduin suspected Kuhle was backing the Berlin United Front to preserve his influence and gain leverage, and advised Hog not to reveal their group to him.
• The Thunderbird told the Ashwinder that the Northern Europe shipment had been secured but its escorts needed supplies and reinforcements, including one or two Short Spears.
• The Ashwinder saw a phoenix on the transport manifest and said the creatures could provide enough ingredients for another year of Elixir of Immortality.
• Anduin wondered whether the elixir’s ingredients depended on creatures’ life force or magic reserves, and feared the Silver Spear might use captured wizards to make it.

Anduin learned that Golden Flyer was considering using force to accelerate the club’s German strategy, while the club sent reinforcements to the battered transport team. Anduin headed back to Northern Europe to act before the club could strike, and the chapter ended as the new arrivals joined the Evil Mother-in-law Bird’s camp.

• Golden Flyer and Ashwinder discussed the club’s losses, its uncertain German strategy, and whether to target Andre with force.
• Golden Flyer rejected a direct attack on Andre, citing the risks and the distrust among the club’s Founders.
• Anduin and Hog overheard the conversation, and Anduin prepared to return to Northern Europe while arranging for Hog to help with the Magical Creatures.
• The Evil Mother-in-law Bird detected an unusual spatial fluctuation and greeted Voldemort Bat, Acelia, and ten German black-market partners as reinforcements.
• Voldemort Bat delivered supplies and Potions and said the transport team had at most two days before it needed to depart.

Acelia helped Anduin’s group infiltrate the camp and incapacitate its guards, allowing them to seize the wizards, Magical Creatures, and supplies. After dismantling the camp, they regrouped inside Anduin’s briefcase with the captured wizards in cages.

• Acelia took over the night watch and told Evil Mother-in-law Bird that she would rest, then watched her return to her tent.
• Acelia approached a guard post, knocked out the wizard on duty, and met Anduin, Shalltear, Hog, and the others as they emerged from the woods.

• Hog helped the Magical Creatures cooperate as the group gathered them and cleared the camp of its supplies and equipment.
• Anduin’s group regrouped inside his briefcase in front of the cages holding the captured wizards.

Anduin brought Acelia’s sister Anais to Norway and used the Metal Magic Book to extract the Dragon Pox Curse from her. The curse was absorbed into the book, but Anais cried out in sharp pain as the removal finished.

• Anduin told Acelia he would use the captured wizards, including Fenrir, as experimental subjects.

• Acelia reunited with Anais and explained that Anduin could cure her Dragon Pox.
• Anduin identified Anais’s illness as a Bloodline Magic curse and began drawing it out.
• Anduin guided the scarlet curse into the Metal Magic Book, and Anais cried out as the extraction ended.

Anduin reassured Acelia that Anais would recover after the Dragon Pox Curse was removed, then took Karkaroff into his transformed suitcase. He showed Karkaroff the captured club wizards and said he needed his help with experiments, prompting Karkaroff to apologize for delaying his work.

• Anduin explained that Anais was weak because the curse had been bound to her body and gave her Vitality Nourishing Agents to aid her recovery.
• Acelia thanked Anduin and took Anais aside to talk while Anduin led Karkaroff into the suitcase.
• Karkaroff saw the suitcase's fortified entrance, buildings, supply stores, and extensive Magical Creatures Breeding Area.
• Anduin brought Karkaroff to a room where captured club wizards, including Otis Yaxley, were restrained on Medical Beds.
• Anduin said he wanted Karkaroff to help with experiments and pointed out that the captured Death Eaters removed his excuse for putting off work.
• Karkaroff apologized and promised not to delay Anduin's plans again.

Anduin made Karkaroff repeatedly cast the Cruciatus Curse on five prisoners to study its effects. He planned to use the results to develop a treatment for the Lumbaton couple’s curse-induced memory loss.

• Anduin explained that he avoided casting Unforgivable Curses himself because they could damage the caster’s emotions and soul.
• Anduin ordered Karkaroff to keep cursing Otis Yaxley until Otis became a suitable test subject.
• After testing Otis, Anduin had Karkaroff curse four more prisoners and recorded their reactions.
• Karkaroff grew agitated from prolonged use of the Cruciatus Curse, but Anduin gave him potions and let him recover once five subjects were prepared.
• Anduin used the prisoners as research subjects because he wanted to understand the Lumbaton couple’s condition before attempting to treat it.

Anduin returned from Northern Europe after curing Anais, securing Karkaroff’s support for the Silver Flash Merchant, and arranging for Acelia to hide in his suitcase. Back in Germany, he learned that Northern European authorities had launched a boycott and bounty against the Silver Spear, while Andre and Moody discussed what had caused the backlash.

• Anduin stopped the tests on the captured wizards and tasked Karkaroff with finding properties and establishing the Silver Flash Merchant’s Northern European business in exchange for a share of its profits.

• Anduin told Acelia to hide in his suitcase until the Silver Spear threat was dealt with, then flew south toward Germany.
• Two days later, Anduin met Andre and Moody at the German Auror Safe House and heard that Northern European authorities had boycotted the Silver Spear and placed a European bounty on its members.
• Anduin claimed the Silver Spear had killed Durmstrang’s headmaster, while Andre and Moody speculated that the club’s recent activity showed it was weakened.
