Harry reflected on his unusual powers, his painful past with the Dursleys, and the attention he had attracted at Hogwarts, while refusing to get out of bed. He remained reluctant to face the students who kept seeking him out after his successful flying lesson and broom choice.

At the Black Lake, Ryan told Harry that the three Peverell brothers were ancestors of their families and revealed that he knew where two of the Deathly Hallows were. He used a necklace to make duplicate bodies so they could leave Hogwarts unnoticed, then sent Harry and Hermione through a hidden passage toward Atlantis while he and Kate followed later.

• Harry realized his parents might have died because their Secret Keeper betrayed them, and Ryan said Sirius Black had likely been the Secret Keeper before he was imprisoned without trial.

• Ryan, Harry, and Hermione ate Krabby Patty meals at the Chum Bucket and spoke with Sheldon about Ryan’s plans to attend Hogwarts.
• Ryan explained that spells relied on incantations, wand movements, and determination, and that repeated use strengthened their traces in the magical field.
• After lunch, Ryan led Harry and Hermione to Atlantis’s library and showed them the statues honoring the city’s founders.
• Harry asked the library for the Academy’s first-year textbooks, and seven books descended from the starry ceiling for him to choose from.

Ryan explained to Harry how Atlantis’s potion-making relied on imbuing and extracting ingredients before Muggles or wizards mixed them, a method that had transformed potion production and helped Ryan build a lucrative partnership. As night fell, Ryan returned Harry, Hermione, and their companions to Hogwarts, where Harry woke in his dormitory.

• Harry marveled as Ryan explained how the Academy’s potion-making process differed from Hogwarts’s cauldron-based method.

• Harry opened the package and found the Nimbus 2000, while Ron eagerly admired the broom.
• Harry and the others went to the Quidditch pitch, where Harry flew between the goalposts as his friends cheered.

• Roger explained that Ravenclaw gathered information and planned tactics, then practiced briefly on Friday nights.
• Ryan listened from the stands and concluded that Ravenclaw relied on empty theorizing.

Roger Davies explained Quidditch rules and tactics to Harry but left without arranging any practical training, so Harry and his friends practiced catching a ball on their own. Their session restored their confidence, while Ryan concluded Ravenclaw’s divided, poorly managed team had little chance of winning.

• Roger Davies introduced Harry to the four Quidditch balls and described the Porskoff Feint and Backpass.
• Roger Davies ended the briefing and left, prompting Harry, Ron, and Anthony to criticize his lack of practical training.
