Notes at the End of the Volume

Regarding updates: although this book only updates once a day, nearly every chapter is a substantial one of close to four thousand Chinese characters. Moreover, the author can honestly say that there has been hardly any padding in the original text, so I believe the update pace is acceptable. I hope everyone will continue to support it. (っ◔◡◔)っ ♥

Regarding revisions:

A small portion of Chapter 28 was censored and has now been revised by the author. It mainly concerned the source of the references to the future developments of the pure-blood families, Harry, and Hermione after the original story ended—in other words, the source of that mentioned online chat. Those interested can go back and take a look; it is only a short passage.

The author has removed Japanese-style forms of address such as "senior" from dialogue, retaining them only in the narration, so that they will not feel quite so jarring when read.

The volume numbers of Abatair were made up by the protagonist himself; the surviving fragments were not numbered. The so-called volume numbers merely indicate the order in which the protagonist collected them.

Regarding Hermione, the author does not wish to spoil anything here. All that can be said is: Hermione's story is not over yet!

Several formidable HP fanfics appeared again in April—Wizard Supremacy, Daxnek, Spell Player, Ashes, and Minion. Among them, Wizard Supremacy has a setting very close to this book's, and its female leads are actually Daphne and Hermione as well. The author feels the pressure.

Original characters in Volume Three:

Lele — a House Elf newly purchased by the House of Malfoy, optimistic in personality and replacing the dismissed Dobby.

Nicholas — a professional smuggler who worked with Skylar, with his base in Germany's Black Forest.

Irina Selwyn — a Slytherin student two years above Skylar, chosen as a prefect.

Hestia Carrow — a Slytherin student two years below Skylar, born into the Carrow Family and one of a pair of twin sisters. (This character did not exist in the original work, but appeared in the Slug Club scene in the films.)

Flora Carrow — a Slytherin student two years below Skylar, born into the Carrow Family and one of a pair of twin sisters. (This character did not exist in the original work, but appeared in the Slug Club scene in the films.)

Ibinos Burke — an alchemy professor specially hired by Hogwarts, responsible only for teaching Skylar's year.

Ulysses Hicks — chairman of the Dark Arts Defense League.

Gulana Cleopatra — chairwoman of the Medieval European Wizards Association.

Zhang He — a Chinese Transfiguration master who corresponded with Skylar by letter.

Lady Selwyn — the mysterious female head of the House of Selwyn.

Aquila — a magical creation of Ravenclaw's, appearing as the phantom of an eagle and waiting by the eagle-shaped door knocker for the heir of the Chamber of Secrets.

Joanna Derwent — a Hufflepuff student two years below Skylar and a descendant of Dilys Derwent.

Original creatures in Volume Three:

Kobold — a close relative of goblins, exceptionally skilled at concealment. They live in Germany's Black Forest, and few know of their existence.

Zombie — a type of Living Dead refined by dark wizards known as Corpse Raisers, with skin like copper, bones like iron, sharp fangs, and clawed hands.

Lastly, I am taking two days off to sort out the ideas for Volume Four. (Don't worry, the book has not been dropped. The author has plenty of drafts; they simply need revision, especially the parts involving Hermione.)

Also, a word of warning for readers: after Volume Four, the protagonist will no longer have everything go smoothly for him. Those who only want a straightforward power fantasy should prepare themselves. The protagonist will also reveal a slightly darker side, so chivalrous readers should prepare themselves as well.
