Chapter Summaries

Students and judges gathered at the Quidditch Pitch, which the organizers transformed into a floating arena and a gigantic Scott Pot. Madame Maxime announced the materials rankings and explained how the schools would harmonize their magic, and Durmstrang was called to begin.

• Dumbledore led the students and professors to the Quidditch Pitch, where cloud-like cushions lifted the field and stands high into the sky.
• Madame Maxime announced that Beauxbatons ranked first in material processing, followed by Hogwarts, Castelobruxo, and Durmstrang.
• Madame Maxime explained that the schools would activate Scott's Transmutation Spell in reverse ranking order to harmonize the magic in their materials, affecting their Champion Uniforms but not their scores.
• Dumbledore summoned four school-marked crates with Accio, and Mr. Weasley told Durmstrang students to place their dominant hands on the marks.

The schools processed materials for their Champions’ uniforms in an alchemy team event, which ended without new scores because the students’ regular Alchemy class grades counted. Mr. Weasley revealed that next month’s individual competition would take place in the sky, leaving Champions with only their uniforms, wands, and one undisclosed item.

• The Durmstrang students harmonized materials for Krum’s uniform, and Neville told Harry that they were making a serious effort because Karkaroff, not Grindelwald, had ordered the earlier mistreatment of Krum.
• Castelobruxo, Hogwarts, and Beauxbatons each processed their materials until their magical auras became uniform, and Mr. Weasley declared the event over without awarding scores.
• Mr. Weasley explained that the students’ Alchemy class grades counted toward the event and announced that next month’s individual competition would take place high in the sky without group magic enhancements.
• Dumbledore lowered the Quidditch Pitch and its stands back to the ground, and the students left by school and house.
• Ginny imitated Ron’s voice to tease Harry, and Harry responded with sweet talk rather than admitting that he missed Ron’s remarks.

Harry dreamed of Bellatrix and the Lestrange brothers arguing over a baby girl whose parentage was uncertain, and his Phoenix magic transported her from Azkaban to Hogwarts. He woke with the baby on his stomach and felt a blood connection to her.

• Bellatrix told her husband that a third person had been involved when the baby was conceived, and he realized it was Little Crouch.

• Harry woke with the baby on his stomach, while Ron, Anthony, and Neville gathered around him.

Ryan explained how a baby girl was conceived and born through Bellatrix’s dream, combining the genetic material of several wizards with Voldemort’s magic. He revealed that he had helped Harry summon the child to prevent a deadly outcome, then left Kate and Penelope reacting to his discarded plans for Harry.

• Kate and Penelope questioned how Bellatrix could have given birth after only six months, since her belly had stayed flat during the Death Eaters’ show.
• Ryan explained that the baby developed inside a dream through magic, drawing genetic material from Bellatrix, the Lestrange brothers, Little Crouch, Harry Potter, and Voldemort.
• Ryan said the baby’s birth caused Bellatrix and the Lestranges to experience an illusion of pregnancy and childbirth, while the other Death Eaters believed Bellatrix had been unwell.
• Penelope realized Harry had used Voldemort’s power and the Dark Wizard potion to help bring the baby from the dream into reality, and Ryan confirmed his role in the process.
• Ryan explained that he had helped Harry summon the baby to prevent it from killing Bellatrix, and Kate joked that it might otherwise have been reborn through Harry at Hogwarts.
• Ryan said he had once considered having Ron drink a Male-Male Pregnancy Potion containing Harry’s genetic material, but dropped the idea because the baby made another such plot unnecessary.

Harry brought a baby who had appeared in Ravenclaw’s common room to Dumbledore, while hiding his suspicion about her parents. Dumbledore concluded that the child was Harry’s daughter and connected her unusual birth to Harry’s time in the world within the mirror.

• Professor McGonagall arrived at Ravenclaw’s common room, praised Penelope for keeping the students orderly, and took Harry and the baby to her office.
• Harry told Professor McGonagall that the baby seemed to have Apparated into the common room, concealing his suspicions about her origins.
• Dumbledore examined the baby and told Harry that she was his daughter, citing their blood connection and her apparent age.
• Dumbledore suggested that the baby had come about during Harry’s time in the world within the mirror.

Harry believed the baby born from the Mirror World was his daughter, and Dumbledore agreed to keep her at Hogwarts because she needed to remain near Harry. The chapter ended with Ryan explaining that the infant was intelligent enough to understand Harry had not abandoned her.

• Harry told Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall that the child might be his, and Dumbledore suspected she had formed from Harry's power and a remnant of Voldemort.
• Dumbledore said the healthy young witch should stay near Harry because separating them made her magic unstable, and he estimated she could be away from Harry for about thirteen hours.
• Professor McGonagall arranged for House-elves and staff to care for the baby, transformed a stool into a cradle, and persuaded Harry to leave her with her overnight.
• Harry left the study reluctantly, looking back at his daughter as Professor McGonagall prepared to care for her.

After a baby appeared in Harry Potter’s bed, Harry publicly claimed her as his child, and Ginny agreed to become her mother. As letters and naming suggestions poured in, Harry and Ginny still had not chosen the girl’s first name with one week remaining before the Triwizard Tournament’s individual event.

Harry visited Meiling with Ginny and Ron after discussing her name and the attention she drew at school. Ron noticed something uncanny in the Fire Dragon Toy’s eyes as Meiling played with it.

• Harry ignored the Great Hall’s attention and told Ginny he wanted to finish eating so he could visit Meiling.
• Harry explained that Meiling’s full name was Meiling Lily Ginevra Bella Potter, and Ginny and Ron agreed to go see her.

• Harry separated the Fire Dragon Toy from Meiling and recognized the forest reflected in its eyes as the Forbidden Forest where Lyle stayed.

• Ryan learned through Harry’s link that the Targaryens’ dragon-viewing spell had transformed into a lasting connection that let Harry choose whose perspective took priority.
• Ryan discovered that the link was changing Harry’s body toward dragon scales and revealed the Ancient Dragon power hidden in modern fire dragons.
• Ryan’s Body Modification advanced from lv6 (79%) to lv6 (84%), giving him enough physical strength to defeat a Demigod Wizard close to the realm of gods.

• Hermione learned that Ryan’s Gubraithian Fire would act as a bridge between her and the magical field.
• Ryan conjured a white flame and gave Hermione the incantation, and she prepared to recite it.

Ryan helped Hermione begin mastering the Dieting Magic, explaining how it drew power from the magical field and why it could not be reused while she remained full. After an hour passed with time stopped, they reappeared in the Great Hall as the Triwizard Tournament’s arrival staircase formed at the Entrance Hall.

• Hermione recited the incantation, and Ryan placed a Gubraithian Fire mark on her brow in four minutes and fifteen seconds.
• Ryan explained that the mark would vanish after ten days without normal meals and showed Hermione how to activate the magic without reciting the incantation.
• Hermione failed to reactivate the Dieting Magic because the magical nutrients still kept her full, and Ryan explained that it would work again once they were fully digested.

• A spiraling staircase of clouds appeared before the Great Hall’s Oak Wood doors, drawing Ryan and Hermione’s attention toward the Entrance Hall.

• Ryan, Kate, and Penelope discussed the broadcast’s audience and concluded that Ryan had also caused Karkaroff’s curse and other rumored events.

Dumbledore introduced the Veela and explained how the Magic Arrays would limit their charm before the champions began the second task. Harry and many spectators were briefly spellbound, and the chapter ended as Arthur Weasley started the hour-long challenge.

• Dumbledore revealed nearly a thousand Veela inside glass domes on the stone platforms, and their dance left Harry, Ilvas, Krum, and many spectators spellbound.
