• The Sorting Hat shouted “Azkaban” for Charle, and Dumbledore silenced the Great Hall before explaining that it had sensed Charle thinking about cooking the hat.

After the welcome feast, Charle followed Cedric Diggory and the new Hufflepuffs to their common room, where he learned about its changing entrance rhythm and magical vinegar defense. Charle grew excited by Hufflepuff's magical recipes and decided he had come to the right place.

• Charle enjoyed Hogwarts's feast but found that its ordinary ingredients offered few Deduction Points, and he planned to use magical ingredients in Hufflepuff's kitchen.
• Dumbledore ended the feast, led the students in singing the school song, and warned them to stay away from the Forbidden Forest and the end of the fourth-floor corridor.

Seeking Deduction Points on his first night, Charle chose Hogwarts’ Three-Headed Dog as his target and hoped its blood would let him gain a Cerberus-like Magical Animagus form.

• Cedric led the young Hufflepuffs into their common room and described the delicious food available in the adjoining kitchen.

Charle threatened Hogwarts’ staircases into carrying him to the fourth-floor corridor, where he found the Three-Headed Dog he hoped to use for Magical Animagus Transformation. The Weasley Twins spotted Charle on the Marauder’s Map and rushed back to help, but he had already entered the room and was enthusiastically approaching the baffled dog.

• Charle decided to reserve his second Magical Animagus Transformation slot for the Three-Headed Dog because it might resist instant-death curses.

• Charle told the terrified Fluffy that he would return every day to neuter it for ingredients and its supposed health benefits.
