• Harry returned to the maze grounds with the Goblet of Fire and, after realizing his clothes exposed him, told McGonagall, Hagrid, and Bagman that Voldemort had returned.
• McGonagall explained that Dumbledore and Fudge had left after receiving urgent Ministry intelligence, while Flitwick and Snape investigated and sent messages.

Dumbledore and the Hogwarts staff investigated the ancient plants and the battle between Skylar and Moody, while the Ministry found no trace of how the two had left the grounds. Dumbledore realized the Moody they had encountered was an impostor and rescued the real Mad-Eye Moody from inside the fake Moody’s trunk.

• Flitwick reported that Moody had fired more than twenty lethal spells at Malfoy, but the attacks had missed because Malfoy was invisible and apparently flying without support.
• Scrimgeour confirmed that there were no signs of Portkey use or a breach of Hogwarts’ anti-Apparition wards, leaving the group unsure where Skylar and Moody had gone.

• Dumbledore summoned Moody’s trunk and opened its seven locks, finding the real Mad-Eye Moody imprisoned in a hidden pit beneath its interior.
• Dumbledore found Moody alive but unconscious, under the Imperius Curse, and extremely weak, and ordered Hagrid to cover him before he was taken to Madam Pomfrey.

Skylar returned from the maze carrying Hermione and explained that Barty Crouch Jr. had used the Goblet of Fire to send Harry to the Little Hangleton graveyard, where Skylar encountered the Dark Lord.

• Skylar identified the impostor as Barty Crouch Jr. and said he had sent Harry through the Goblet of Fire to the Little Hangleton church graveyard, where Skylar encountered the Dark Lord.
• Skylar told Fudge he could not confirm the Dark Lord's identity and claimed he had barely escaped a powerful enemy with help from Dumbledore.
• Scrimgeour reported that Aurors had found evidence of a major magical battle at the Little Hangleton graveyard.

• Fudge proposed that Barty Crouch Jr. had arranged traps to send Harry and Skylar to the graveyard, and Scrimgeour endorsed the explanation.
• Harry arrived and recounted Voldemort’s resurrection, the Death Eaters, and his escape after Skylar sent him into the Goblet of Fire.

• Skylar said he had killed Avery in self-defense but had not witnessed the resurrection, giving Fudge grounds to keep doubting Harry’s account.
• McGonagall and Flitwick struggled to accept that Harry and Skylar could have escaped Voldemort unharmed, and Dumbledore feared he could not convince them.

Skylar denied being able to confirm that the Mysterious Man was Voldemort and claimed he had accidentally killed Barty Crouch Jr. while defending himself. As Fudge dismissed Harry’s warnings and clashed with Dumbledore, Skylar planned to keep a low profile and seek new sources of power, including Durmstrang’s secrets.

• Skylar assessed his magical strength and planned to pursue power through hidden chambers, Abatair Fragments, Slytherin’s legacy, and a visit to Durmstrang.

Dumbledore and Fudge argued over Voldemort's return while the Ministry and Hogwarts disputed Hermione's treatment and the Tournament result. Harry was named champion under the rules, but the Goblet of Fire's reaction revealed that Skylar had touched it first.

• Dumbledore urged Fudge to accept that Voldemort had returned, while Fudge refused and said the Ministry would decide what to do.
• Skylar demanded an explanation for Hermione's abduction, and Scrimgeour proposed using Veritaserum on her; Dumbledore agreed only under Hogwarts supervision and sent her to the infirmary.
• Mrs. Weasley and Bagman argued that Harry qualified as champion because he returned first with the Goblet of Fire, and Skylar conceded the title to him.
• Bagman announced Harry as champion, while students cheered Skylar and Harry grew resentful at the contrast in their reception.
• The Goblet of Fire did not respond when Harry touched it, and Harry realized Skylar had touched it first in the graveyard, activating its Portkey Charm.

Harry was struck unconscious when the Goblet of Fire rejected him, and Dumbledore declared Skylar Malfoy the recognized champion. Skylar’s touch set off a dazzling display as the Triwizard Tournament ended, while Harry was taken away unnoticed.

• Harry grabbed the Goblet of Fire, but Bagman’s attempt to extinguish it triggered an explosive backlash that knocked Harry unconscious.

• Skylar reviewed the thousand Galleons he had won and compared his intelligence network with Dumbledore’s, identifying gaps in Hogsmeade, Diagon Alley, Knockturn Alley, and St. Mungo’s.
• Skylar decided to seek capable agents for Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley and to build his presence in Knockturn Alley and St. Mungo’s gradually.
• Skylar dismissed concerns about Harry’s residence and the Death Eaters, noting that Sarf held most of them and that Snape could choose where his loyalties lay.
• Mr. Crouch sent Skylar a coded letter confirming Barty Crouch Jr.’s death and reporting that the McFusty Clan had agreed to submit after seeing the Dragon-Sealing Seal.
• Skylar planned to use his dominion over dragons to form a twelve-wizard dragon-rider corps, while Mr. Crouch stayed in the Hebrides to finalize the negotiations.

Skylar assessed the magical items taken from Barty Crouch Jr. and planned to use them to protect the Sleeping Dragon Society’s hidden stronghold at Hogwarts. He then predicted Voldemort’s and the rival organizations’ next moves, leaving the conflict’s future uncertain but his own strategy intact.

• Skylar examined Moody’s Alchemical Magic Eye, silver curved flask, and Marauder’s Map, and planned to install them with a Foe-Glass near the fifth-floor hidden room.
