Harry and Krum joined the others at Hephaestus, where Madame Vokanova explained how wizards could absorb magical power from others’ attention. Harry and Krum questioned whether positive Affection Power could alter a person’s identity, and Dumbledore left them with the assurance that they could control what virtues they accepted.

• Harry and Krum reached Hephaestus and joined Dumbledore, Hagrid, Ilvas, Madame Vokanova, Caster Pollacchi, and Fleur.
• Madame Vokanova explained that wizards could absorb power from intense attention, including positive Affection Power, while Voldemort had used fear to absorb its negative form.
• Harry connected Voldemort’s name-monitoring curse to Dumbledore’s advice to use his proper name, and Madame Vokanova confirmed that choosing the strongest kind of attention helped a wizard absorb more power.
• Fleur realized that Ilvas had absorbed positive Affection Power, and Krum questioned whether it had caused the changes he had noticed in Ilvas.
• Harry argued that positive Affection Power could change someone’s identity, and Madame Vokanova angrily defended the magic before Dumbledore said its recipients could choose which virtues to accept.

• Madame Vokanova argued that Harry deserved the title of Savior because Voldemort’s defeat had ended a threat that had terrorized the wizarding world for years.

Ryan explained to Kate that Castelobruxo was steering Harry toward becoming a Savior, a role designed to oppose a Dark Lord, and revealed how Dumbledore had once been shaped into a Savior before transforming his path. As Dumbledore confronted Madame Vokanova, Harry stepped in to shield Krum, and Vokanova defended her advice as Harry’s own choice.

• Ryan explained that the Savior title existed to counter a Dark Lord and that Castelobruxo wanted Harry to follow that path.

• Dumbledore’s anger overwhelmed Krum, so Harry stepped forward and calmed the pressure with his own power.
• Dumbledore challenged Madame Vokanova for assuming he would accept her attempt to influence Harry, and she replied that Harry could choose for himself.

• Madame Vokanova kept talking despite Dumbledore's magical pressure until Ilvas silenced her and explained the distance between people and those who admired them.
• Dumbledore described the perception, formation, and fusion stages of the magic, cautioning the champions not to choose paths built on beliefs unlike themselves.
• Professor Polaqi recognized that Dumbledore had modified Champion's Glory, and Dumbledore explained that Hephaestus could safely bear and purify Affection Power.
• Harry realized Hagrid and the Forbidden Forest were needed because Hephaestus's connection to them let it bear the champions' power.
• Dumbledore demonstrated perception by gathering voices about himself into the title “The Greatest White Wizard” and instructed the champions to focus on it until they could hear praise or slander.

• Harry followed Dumbledore's instructions to focus on Hephaestus and saw the titles forged from his soul appear in flames.
• Dumbledore told Harry, Krum, and Fleur they could pause before choosing and warned that an immortal should choose a title aligned with their way of thinking.
• Harry realized Dumbledore's earlier warning had been meant for him because his immortality could make the titles' side effects accumulate over time.
• Dumbledore explained the powers linked to Fleur's five titles, including how each could affect her beauty, allure, Veela bloodline, water control, or appearance.
• Dumbledore recommended that Fleur choose Half-Veela because it strengthened her bloodline without changing her nature.

Ryan explained to Fleur why being Half-Veela would make her more accepted by wizards, and she agreed to follow Dumbledore’s advice and absorb the title. Harry revealed his possible titles and chose Hercules, leaving Viktor Krum as the last person to decide.

• Krum asked what Dakuwaqa meant, and Hagrid explained that it was a magical creature able to transform between human and shark.

• Ryan offered to show Kate a preview of Voldemort gradually regaining his form on the night of June 30th, and she agreed to watch.

• Rodolphus worried that Snape might poison the child, but Voldemort said Snape could not do so because another Voldemort was at Hogwarts.

• Bella misunderstood Voldemort’s mention of another version of himself, while Voldemort explained that Dumbledore had made a younger, brainwashed version from his corpse and soul fragment.

Kate watched a video of Voldemort planning to wait out the Order of the Phoenix and Aurors at Azkaban, while Harry struggled with persistent soul-level praise caused by his chosen title. Ryan teased Harry and revealed that the Skywalker Alchemy Workshop was his business, just as Voldemort’s resurrection approached.

• Voldemort told Old Mulciber that his followers should wait for the Order of the Phoenix and the Aurors to come to Azkaban, and he tortured Mulciber for showing fear.
• Kate complained when the video cut off before Voldemort explained how he would empower his followers, and Ryan hinted that he might intervene personally.
• Harry continued hearing involuntary praise about his body from people around him, and Dumbledore said the voices would fade after his title fully merged with him in about a week.
• At lunch, Neville suggested Harry seek Ryan through his companions, and Ryan appeared beside Harry and threatened to spread a video of him playing with a knife.
• Ryan revealed that the Skywalker Alchemy Workshop was his business and described its new portable camera, prompting Harry to question whether launching it was appropriate with Voldemort’s resurrection near.

Ryan revealed that Voldemort would revive on July 1, and Harry relayed the date to Dumbledore. Dumbledore outlined the battle plan, assigning Harry to use the Mirror World to help confront Voldemort at Azkaban.

• Ryan told Harry and Neville that Voldemort would revive on July 1, then identified himself as Skywalker to Neville before leaving with Luna.
• A second Ryan arrived with Fleur, and Ron and Neville became more excited about Ryan being Skywalker than about Voldemort’s imminent return.
• Harry went to Dumbledore’s office and reported the resurrection date, while discovering he could use his ability to block out unwanted thoughts he heard.
• Dumbledore explained that Harry would support the battle from the Mirror World while Dumbledore, Tom, and Grindelwald faced Voldemort and his Death Eaters.

Dumbledore explained that Harry’s Champion’s Glory training would let him use the Mirror World to sever Azkaban’s connection to Voldemort and help suppress its remaining power. Harry learned that Voldemort’s dreamlike influence had moved the Manticore during the third match, then went to the common room expecting Neville, only to hear that Neville had gone to fetch a book for Ryan to sign.

• Harry questioned whether learning Champion’s Glory had prepared him to see his soul and suppress Azkaban, and Dumbledore confirmed it.

• Harry asked why he had not learned Champion’s Glory earlier, and Dumbledore said Voldemort’s resurrection had happened sooner than expected.
• Dumbledore revealed that a force had moved the Manticore into the Champions’ path during the third match, likely because of a dream-born thought from Voldemort’s muddled consciousness.
• Harry left Dumbledore and headed to the common room, then learned from Ginny that Neville had gone to the dormitory to get a book for Ryan to sign.

On June 30, Hogwarts stayed festive despite Voldemort’s impending resurrection, as Harry realized Dumbledore was using a July event to spread positive emotions and prepare people for the coming struggle against Dark Magic. Harry understood that the cheerful atmosphere would support the End Spell for Azkaban and the War Magic for Hogwarts students.
