Harry woke three days after the Hogwarts Collapse Plan, and Dumbledore used Legilimency to examine his memories of the day.

Kyle then considered reforming Hogwarts’s education before Konan suggested they spend their remaining time together doing something pleasant.

• Dumbledore explained that Harry’s abuse and suppressed magic could have made him an Obscurial, but his mother’s protection had prevented it while limiting his growth.

• Kyle realized Michael’s new allegiance might cost him the two hundred wizards Michael had led.

Kyle attended the Order of the Phoenix’s first full meeting since its reestablishment, still angry that Dumbledore planned to take two hundred of his subordinates.
