Merlin's beard. How did you? Wait! We did... Hang on! Charge! The key. Give me your hand! Are you alright? You're hurt. Perhaps a bit. Take this. It's Wiganwell Potion. That stuff will heal you in a second. What happened? Poor George. I can't believe he... What the hell got into that damn thing? Attacking a carriage midair? A typical dragon would never... How far did that portkey take us? Farther from London than the carriage travel. We're somewhere in the Scottish Highlands.

Sir, those ruins. Do you think... The Port Key was meant to lead us there? I do. This has not been the day either of us expected, but Miriam sent that port key to George for a reason, and I believe that she— and now George— died in pursuit of whatever it was meant to lead to. If you’re sure you're alright and wouldn't mind indulging me, I’d like to have a look around. Absolutely, sir. Good. Let's see if we can find a path, however faded it may be. Steady yourself. Repero! Almost there. That enchanted crystallized stone again. But what could it be blocking? What's this? Professor Fig. How odd? Why would someone have conjured that enchanted stone here? And how is there a room behind it? What room? I don't see anything. There's that glow again, like the glow on the portkey container.

What in Merlin's name? Godrick's heart. Where are we? I don't believe it. Hello? It can't be. Just a moment. Waiting here. Welcome to Gringot's Wizarding Bank. Vault number twelve, I presume. Precisely. The key. Little White's portkey. Oh, yes, of course. This way then. Stay close. After you. And keep your hands inside the cart if you don't wish to lose them. How many vaults are there at Gringots? Hundreds. In fact, you'll see quite a few on our way to vault number twelve. As we speak, we're just beneath the main lobby. The vault you see now are the newest. Our private entrances to the bank common at Gringots. They are most uncommon. Only one with great wealth or power or both could have arranged for such a service.

You want to take a breath. A what? That waterfall washes away all enchantments. It's a security measure. Experience the thief's downfall before, have you? Heard of it? These are the lower vaults that were passing now. How deep are we going? Vault number 12 was commissioned shortly after Gringotts was founded over four centuries ago. It resides in the deepest part of the bank. Settle in. Quite a distance to go. Vault number... Vault twelve. Momentous day.

Are nearby. Professor, the armband that God was wearing was glowing. Like the glow you saw on the portkey container, not darker. I saw that same glow on the dragon's collar. Yeah, what was that? We were just wondering about that goblin back there. He watches over the oldest section of the bank. Rare anyone goes there anymore. Here we are. When was the last time this vault was accessed? A goblin has been stationed at my desk for hundreds of years. In that time, no one has visited Vault 12 until today. Vault 12. Thank you for your help. What do you suppose we should be looking for? I'm not sure.

Sir, I wonder if you mind. The instructions for vault twelve indicate that I am to grant access to the holder of the key and then close the door. Oi. Best of luck. Professor. That was certainly unexpected. Let me think. There must be something here. Hmm, Rebellio perhaps. Rebellio. Yes, a revealing charm. I saw something. Move a bit closer and try again. A door. Well, that's a start. There's that symbol again. Now, I don't suppose you see a weight too. I do, professor. That symbol has the same glow as the one I saw on the portkey container.

If what you can see reveals the way forward, then, I dare say we are about to discover the secret of this vault. Lead the way. There you are. How did you— What is this place? I don't know, but I found this floating above that basin. That is no mere basin. That is for viewing memories. I wonder. Follow my lead. All is in place. The portkey is well hidden. Perhaps too well. I wonder if the path we've created may be impossible to follow. It will only be impossible for one who cannot see traces of ancient magic as I can. Your ability to see what others cannot will not be enough, Percival.

We are entrusting the one who embarks on this path with powerful secrets, with knowledge others will do anything to obtain, because if we are correct, Charles, the ritual wizard who completes the trials will have proven themselves worthy of that knowledge and the responsibility that accompanies it. We've done all that we can. That's what you're seeing. That surrounded them. Yes, sir. Astonishing. Can I see magic? Traces of an ancient magic to be precise. The magic that Miriam had always believed existed but could never... Miriam, and perhaps George died in pursuit of knowledge that has been dormant for centuries. And you, it seems, are the key to understanding why.

We would... It all looks rather different than it did a moment ago. Someone's coming. Who were they? I don't know but sir, you shouldn't be in there. I was right. Ranrock, seems my reputation precedes me. I was beginning to think no one was ever going to visit Ragns Hawks, and why are you here? No need for that. Just give me whatever it is you found here and we can let bygones be bygones. Sack. Have the key to the vault. Choose your next words wisely. I I only meant that the instructions to vault twelve were quite clear. Sir, I I must insist. I was to grant access only to one with the key and you didn't have them.

I have no patience for traitors. Now, where were we? I'm not giving you anything. Well, perhaps your young friend here will be more open. I know a way out. Are you alright? Fine, sir. I've never seen so powerful a goblin. He seemed wholly unaffected by my magic. Where are we? It can't be. It seems those who set up the pensive, the locket, and the path to both wanted someone with your ability to end up here. We have a sorting ceremony to get to. Oh, good. We haven't missed the sorting ceremony. I'm no expert but that seems more appropriate.

Now, I need to study this locket as soon as I can but first, I must contact the ministry. They need to know what happened to George and be warned of Ranrock. For the moment, I ask that you keep all that's happened this evening between you and me, of course, sir. Thank you. Ready for the sorting ceremony? Nigealous. Black. Prepare yourself to meet the headmaster. Fig, nice of you to join us. The sorting ceremony is over. There were complications. Complications? It seems the goblins... Goblins. I have no time for rumors, Fig, and I'm rapidly losing whatever patience I had left. If you're lucky, we might still be able to get you sorted this evening. I'll be in touch.

Professor Weasley, we've one more to be sorted. Welcome. You're just in time. Have a seat. Yes. A bit older than the others, aren't you? You come here with preferences and preconceptions. Certain expectations. I'm looking forward to exploring Hogwarts and the world beyond the castle and grounds. Hmm. Indeed. Much can be gleaned by having an adventurous spirit but your professors have a great deal to teach you as well. I wonder. I detect something in you. A certain sense of, hmm, what is it? A sense of loyalty? I believe myself to be a true friend. I know I value that trait in others.

Hmm, you do not give up easily, do you? You're undaunted by challenges that lie ahead. And your loyalty to a friend delayed your arrival here this evening. Better be Gryffindor. Oh, and one more thing. Due to the unfortunate injury on the pitch in last spring's final, this year's Quidditch season has been cancelled. Enough. It's not as though I've banned flying altogether but don't tempt me. You are here to focus on your academic futures. I'm sure you will have plenty to do before classes begin tomorrow. I said, I'm sure you all have plenty to do before classes begin tomorrow. Quite an entrance.

It's lovely to meet you. I'm. Professor Weasley, would you be so kind as to show our new student to their common room? I shall see to it, sir. As I was saying, I'm professor Weasley, pleased to meet you. Nice to meet you as well, professor. As deputy headmistress, it is my distinct honor to show you to your common room. Right this way. It's most uncommon for a student to begin as a fifth year. This should be quite an adventure. I'm looking forward to it. I remember the first time I entered the Gryffindor Common Room after being sorted.

You were a Gryffindor. I am a Gryffindor. Never could remember the password when I was a girl, however. Password. Password? The password is gratagome. Gratadom. You may enter. Well done. Now, go on in and get some sleep. You have a big day ahead of you tomorrow. I shall be back in the morning to collect you for your first class. Thank you, Professor Weasley. You're welcome. I hope you enjoy your first night at Hogwarts. Sleep well. Is that what you've got? Libyo Soul. Professor Heckett. Perhaps you'd be good enough to blast each other to pieces on your own time.

I get new students every year but I only have one Hebrideian black skull. It was a token from the great poacherade of eighteen seventy-eight. No doubt you've heard of it. You may be asking yourself how an old woman like me single handedly took out the largest poaching in Eastern Wales and lived to boast about it. Knowledge. To the wise, age matters very little. Today, we will review a spell that has saved me from death at the hands of dark wizards more times than I care to remember. Levioso. Leviosa. A levitation charm. Levioso. A surprised opponent is a weak opponent. Care to defend yourself, master proet? No?

One thing I've learned as an unspeakable is the value of simplicity, especially in the heat of battle. Now, let's practice what we've just learned, starting with something small. Levioso. Now, let's try something a little larger. See how the dummy deflected your cast. This time, cast Levioso first, then the basic cast. Remember. Levioso. Now, the basic. Well done. Very good but the best way to practice is by dueling. We'll start with you two. Duelists, take your marks. Time for a proper Hogwarts welcome. Now, I want a fair duel. Reading only Levioso, basic cast, and Protego. You may begin. Let me accept this. Nothing lucky about it. Your first duel. Let's just say all of my students with this lick. Joy and life. Use the basic cast when your opponent's guard is down. Not bad for a beginner. You give as good as you get.

I put you on the spot and you rose to the challenge, points to Gryffindor. Thank you, Professor Heckett. Glad to have the opportunity to practice. If what I've seen today is any indication, we can expect great things from you. I demand excellence from my students. They are capable of achieving it and they must achieve it. A classroom duel is one thing but battling dark wizards—or as ever more likely goblins—is a different kettle of grindalos entirely. Understood, professor. So, I'd advise you to keep practicing whenever you can. Perhaps Mister Sallow will have some ideas for you. Again, well done today. I shall reach out soon with additional assignments. Right. That's enough spectacle for one day. Class is dismissed.

I enjoyed that. Well, that duel was quite something. Everyone will be talking about it. It was certainly good practice. Practice? It felt more like I was dueling an expert. Sebastian Sallow, by the way, didn't expect a new student to be so deft with a wand. Then again, perhaps this wasn't your first duel. I've duelled enough. Consider yourself lucky I held back. Huh, fair enough. You owe me an honest duel when you aren't. You know, you might be a perfect fit for a certain exclusive, unsanctioned dueling organization. Unsanctioned. I don't know. School rules are in place for a reason.

Yes, to keep students in the dark. So many things were deemed unprepared to know. If you want to get the most out of your time at Hogwarts, you're going to need to break the rules now and then. Whether it's joining a secret dueling club or sneaking into the restricted section of the library, you just have to be clever enough not to get caught. Thank you, Sebastian. I'll keep that in mind. Good. Pleasure chatting with you. I'm sure I'll see you soon. Perhaps somewhere unsanctioned. We'll see if your performance today was sheer luck or actual skill. Look for Luke and Brattleby near the clock tower entrance if you're interested.

Behind you, there is an open seat here. Thank you. Hello, I am Netty. So you are the new student. Have you met professor Ronan yet? Shall we begin? Welcome to year five of charms. Now, this will be a crucial year in your education on the art of charm work but I am confident that we will take hold with a passion and rigor requisite of such a challenge. Right. Now, everyone, please open your textbooks to page 517 but before we begin, can anyone here tell me the difference between the incantations of the color change and growth charms? Anyone? Anyone? I am afraid it is too late to study now.

Hmm. My, the summer months must have really taken a toll on you all. By the looks of it, you all spent your holidays practicing obliviate on one another. Do you even remember how to perform a basic summoning charm? Well, it seems that we are in dire need of review. Everyone get into pairs and take positions on opposite sides of the classroom. Now, let's put those textbooks to use as the blunt objects you so believe they are and take turns summoning them out of one another's hands. Only one book will be needed by partnership, Miss Dale. Thank you. Get into place now. Akio. That is not bad. You are a swift learner. I see a lot of potential, but remember, potential is nothing without practice.

Keep at it. You might just rival Miss One Eye here. Very good, everyone. That's enough of that. Well, as you all seem to have the basics down and it is an exceptionally lovely day, I was thinking that we might have ourselves a little excursion outside for a spot of fresh air. Follow me. I've always found that fun goes hand in hand with mastery, as I'm sure the Quidditch players amongst us would agree. Hm? So, what better than a bit of sport to put our prowess with the summoning charm to the test, right? Hmm. Ambience. So why don't we have our newest student start us off? Hm?

Let us make this a bit more interesting, shall we? I think we are well past interesting at this point. I'll say. Enough chatter, focus now. You will need it. This round settles it all. Let us see both. There we go. Accurate. Class is dismissed. Gather your things on the way out. Well done back there. You took the loss in stride. Didn't want to go too easy on you. Took me weeks to become proficient with Akio. It took weeks for me to get anything right when I transferred here. It gets easier, I promise. That's good to hear. It's a lot to take in all at once. To put it lightly, I remember how I felt when I first arrived.

I transferred here from Wagadu just before my fourth year. My mother received an offer to teach divination here. Before I knew it, we had left Uganda and were halfway around the world at a new school in a new country. Well, it's been nice talking and competing with you. And with you. Ah, I think professor Ronan wants to talk to you. Better not keep him waiting. Until next time. Of course, you cowards to give you wounds. You wanted to speak with me, professor. I did. I trust your first charms lesson lived up to expectations.

Well, an outdoor competition wasn't exactly the lesson I was expecting, sir. What charm is there in the expected? Miss Onai is a talented witch. Take it in stride. One often gains the most from the battles one has lost. Of course, professor. It was a challenging map. Miss Onai is always a fierce competitor. Though I sense that she is a bit distracted of late. Now, Professor Weasley has asked that your professors give you instruction outside of the ordinary curriculum. Expect to hear from me soon regarding a special assignment that I am preparing for you.

Hello, there. You're the new student, aren't you? Hello, you wanted to speak to me. Samantha Dale, I've been eager to meet you. You're the student everyone's been whispering about. Hope your first day is going well. You certainly seem to hold your own in charms. I've been fortunate, beginner's luck. My brother William would tell you not to be so humble and to trust your abilities. Then again, he tends to be overconfident in his. Well, better see to my charms homework. I'm afraid I can't count on beginner's luck to impress professor Ronan.

What about the room, professor? I was thinking the same thing, Deke. Perhaps you could help. Oh, excuse Deke. There you are. I trust your first classes went well. They did, professor. I heard as much from professors Heckert and Ronan. Seems professor Fig taught you quite a bit before you arrived. I'd wager there's a good deal more to your travels here than what you've told me, isn't there? Have you and professor Fig not discussed my training? He continues to be reticent about the details, mentioning only a few spells. Revelio, was it? And Lumos? That's correct, professor.

I see. Like trying to get a sonnet from a streelers. Regardless, you must continue to build upon what you've learned. In that regard, I've asked your professors to help hasten your progress with some extra assignments. I'm not sure I have time for extra assignments, professor. You shall find the time. You'd be astonished to know just how much you don't know. In fact, Professor Ronan will meet you outside momentarily to assign your first one. Now, regarding the trip to Hogsmead, I mentioned earlier. We've arranged to replace the supplies lost on your way here, including seeds, potion recipes, and spell crafts.

Thank you, professor. And Mister Olivander will connect you with the perfect wand. You've managed your classes well with a borrowed wand, but you'll find the magic you cast with your own wand to be far superior. I'm eager to get to Hogsmead. Very well. I'd like you to make your first visit to the village with a classmate. Help you get your bearings. Perhaps Sebastian Salo or Natsaionai. I've noticed you spending time with them. I'd like to go with Sebastian. Glad to hear it. Mister Sallow is a capable young wizard and he knows the area. He'll keep you well clear of any of Victor Rookwood's undesirables on route.

Rookwood. A rather unsavory local. Best to avoid him and his associates, including his right hand of sorts, Theophilus Harlow, if you can. Once you've finished Professor Ronan's assignment, your friend will meet you at the castle doors. No time to waste! The sooner you complete your work, the sooner you can enjoy a butterbeer at the Three Broomsticks. Hello, Sebastian. Ah, my new charge. I'm told you're in dire need of supplies and I'm to accompany you into Hogsmead for them. Is this your first foray into the village? It is. I haven't left the castle since I arrived. Well, I shall endeavor to be the very best of guides then.

Hogsmead's a charming little place, self-contained too. We should be able to find you everything that you need, shall we? You said you could get to the child when they came to Hogsmeet that all you needed was a distraction. I gave you a distraction. I just watched a student take down your distraction. Who is this child? What are you not telling me? All you need to know is that if you cannot get to the child, then you have no value to me. Let's go. Did they see us? I don't think so. What was that goblin doing with Victor Rookwood? Vanrock is working with Rookwood, the goblin from the Daily Prophet. I knew I'd see him somewhere. Quickly, let's get inside the Three Broomsticks.

It's a treat to see you, Lord Gock. I shall let you know if I hear anything. Thank you, Serona. You be well. Now, what can I eat? Oh, there's a face I haven't seen before. It's my first time here. Welcome. Butterbeers on me. Heard about the attack. I shall be looking in on the other shopkeepers and residents shortly. Glad to see you two escaped injury. Thanks to this one. Single-handedly took down a troll. Is that right? Well done. Thanks for this. My pleasure. I will say trolls in Hogsmead? That's never happened before. Something's not right.

The only brutes we usually have to deal with. No time, Lamie. Was that Lod Gock I saw leaving just now? Your clientele is not what it used to be, Serona. Not to worry, Victor. Once the two of you leave, the caliber of my clientele will greatly improve. I wouldn't do that if I were you, Theophilus. Come now. No need for theatrics. I'm only here for this one anyway. My friend is enjoying a well-earned butterbeer. Any want a quick word? Perhaps you didn't hear me. I said, my friend is busy. One would think you all had enough bloodshed for one day. Come the ovenous. The Three Broomsticks isn't what it used to be.

Let's take our Galleons elsewhere. Can't drink butter in the air forever? Seems you've made an unfortunate enemy. Watch your back. Rookwood and Harlow are worse than any troll you might encounter. Trolls, Ranrock, and Rookwood? What are you not telling me? I promised to tell you everything but it's perhaps best I do that later. I'm certainly glad Serona was there. Told you she was one of the good ones. I can see that. She didn't seem at all intimidated by Rookwood and Harlow. I think you'll need to tell me why Victor Rookwood has you in his sights but we could talk later. For the moment we should return to the castle.

Professor Weasley's certain to hear about the troll attack soon if she hasn't already. Don't want to risk another detention for getting back after hours. Professor, I'm glad to see you. And I, you. Thank Merlin you're in one piece. I heard about the attack. Trolls in Hogsmead? Sir, the trolls were wearing armor. It had that dark glow like the dragon collar. Goblin silver. Ranrock used it to control the dragon. But how? And why send trolls too? They were there because of me. I overheard Ranrock talking with Viktor Rookwood. Ranrock was in league with Rookwood. The trolls were Ranrock's distractions so that Rookwood could get to me and he would have, had Serona and the patrons at the Three Broomsticks not intervened.

This is great news indeed. If Ranrock's goblins and dark wizards are after you, they want what we found in that vault. They're after the locket. You said you discovered something in it? Yes. Yes. I discovered an inscription. When I read it aloud, this map appeared. Clever enchantment. It's a map of Hogwarts to be sure, but I do not know where it leads. It leads to the library. A restricted section to be precise and a bit beyond. I see traces of magic there on the map. I suspected you would see something. Should we go? I appreciate your enthusiasm, and I'm eager to discover what we may find there as well, but our experience at Gringotts, let alone what happened to Miriam taught me anything, it's that the path we're on is terribly dangerous.

I like you to work with Professor Heckett a bit before we continue. But sir, how dangerous could the library be? Perhaps we're only after a book. Perhaps we are only after a book. But we should be prepared for anything. Once you've honed your defensive magic further, come and see me. I'm here about the new spell you wanted to teach me, professor. Good. Professor Fig indicated a certain urgency to you completing your defensive magic assignments. As such, you are to learn Incendio, the fire-making spell. Handy for lighting torches, burning away spiderwebs, and when necessary, defending against those who would wish to do us harm.

Sounds versatile. Quite. But before we get started, I'd like you to complete a few tasks. You may be surprised by some of them. Astonishing how much students don't think their professors know. When you're finished, come and see me. Then we shall begin working on Incendio. Hello, sir. You'll be pleased to know that I worked on my defensive magic with Professor Heckert. So, I hear she tells me you've taken rather well to your new wand. You must continue to work with her and your other professors to improve your skills. That said, I don't wish to postpone our visit to the library any longer. So shall we proceed? Fig, I have work for you. Come.

Headmaster, I'm with a student in my schedule. Your schedule will wait indefinitely as will your student. I would think that after all the trouble you caused me with Ozrik, you'd be eager to make amends. My office, five minutes. That man is exasperating. Unfortunately, our trip to the restricted section will have to wait a bit longer. But professor. We have no choice. It would be unwise to provoke our illustrious headmaster further. I shall find you when I've completed whatever toils I must endure. Sebastian, there you are. There you are. You promised me an explanation for what happened in the Three Broomsticks. Not many students have Victor Rookwood's attention. What was that all about?

It seems he's working with Ranrock and Ranrock is after something I found at Gringotts. Ranrock? And when were you at Gringotts? Professor Fig and I ended up there after the dragon attack. It's quite the tale. Fig had this portkey. Portkey to Gringotts? I'm not sure I follow. I barely follow myself, and I was there. Anyway, we ended up in an ancient vault where we found a map. That map leads to the restricted section. You can't be serious. Deadly serious. Professor Fig has insisted that I not tell a soul about any of this. I've probably said too much. Understood. Your secret's safe with me.

Whatever it is. Thank you, Sebastian. You mentioned being clever enough not to get caught in the restricted section. And I am. Meet me outside the library tonight and tell no one. Thank you, Sebastian. I'll meet you later. See there? That's the door we need to reach. And those annoying prefects would love nothing more than to rat on us to Scribnam. So, don't let them see us. Understood? I can be sneaky. Let's go. Hold on now. There's a spell you should know. The disillusionment charm. Good for getting places you're not supposed to be. Cast it and you'll appear as little more than a trick of the light.

Just as long as you keep your distance and stay quiet. You mean I'll actually be able to turn invisible? Something like that. It's not as foolproof as a cloak, but those are expensive and spells, spells are free. Give it a try. She told me the librarian would be gone by now. I said usually, but it'll still be alright. Do you see her desk behind me? The key is in the drawer of that desk. Now, here's what we're going to do. I'll create a distraction to draw her away. You focus on getting the key. I'll meet you outside of the restricted section. You distract. I get the key. Understood. I said I get you in and I always keep my word. Trust me.

Who have we here? Sebastian Sallow and his new little friend. Out exploring where they shouldn't be. Naughty naughty. You'll get caught, Peeves, don't you? I'm going to tell. I'm going to tell. I'm going to tell. Blasted peeves. I've got to stop him or at least get to the librarian with a good excuse for all of this. Wait, I don't want you getting into trouble for me. I have a way with the faculty when it comes to disciplinary matters. Besides, I like having friends who are in my debt. Now, go. Good luck in your search. Where is that damned poltergeist got to?

You wanted to see me? Ahead, Missus Fitzgerald, Professor Rackham. Miss Izadora Morganarch, welcome. Professor Rookwood, Professor Vicar. We understand that you are adjusting well to life at Hogwarts. I am. I am glad. Especially in light of your unusual situation starting as a fifth year. As it happens, I was also admitted to Hogwarts as a fifth year. I have never heard of another like us. Miss Morganarch. When we spoke yesterday after class, you asked about the beautiful swirls you saw years ago when we visited Olahammer. I recognized you all immediately. I cannot thank you enough for what you did. We were glad to help, and yes, I did see swirls of magic everywhere that day.

My father insists it was my imagination running wild but it was certainly real to me. It was not your imagination. Personal, professor can see them too but we have never known of another who could. I don't understand, what are they? The whispers or traces that appear when a particular form of ancient magic is wielded? Ancient magic. A few are capable of wielding it. Hogwarts itself is a stronghold of ancient magic. So if I can see traces of ancient magic, does that mean I can wield it too? With the proper training but let us not get ahead of ourselves, Miss Morganarch. Before I can train you to wield such magic, you must first master all that Hogwarts has to offer.

A magic this powerful can do great harm in the wrong hands. It must be wielded by a select few. As such, we ask that you not speak to anyone about what we have discussed here today. Sebastian. Sneaking in the restricted section again. I had thought we were through with this mischief. Clearly, detentions are insufficient. I'm afraid I must take this to the headmaster. But that being said, Peeves informs me that you didn't come alone tonight. If someone has coerced you, I would have you tell me. You're a bright boy. Don't waste this. There was nobody else. I came alone.

Oh Sebastian, what will your uncle say? What? That's wait. You accessed the restricted section, but how? Thinking on it, perhaps it's best you spare me the details. Fair enough. In fact, the book was below the restricted section as it appeared on the map. I want to hear everything. First, let's have a look. Oh dear. Some of these pages seem to be missing. It appears someone has got to the book before us. Still, I will need time to study what remains. Perhaps it can still salvage something useful and it may take some time.

I wonder why it was here below Hogwarts. I think I know, sir. I saw two more memories where I found the book. Another pensive. Godrick's heart. The man we saw before, Persever Rackham, was a professor here. The first memory showed him and three other professors using ancient magic to restore a hamlet from a drought. Miriam was right. And the second memory? They were talking to a student who started as a fifth year like I did. She could see traces of magic too. Why those memories? Perhaps this book will explain. Now, I'll have to take it with me to London. The headmaster has insisted that I speak directly to the minister about George’s death.

I understand. I'll see what I can learn about the missing pages while you're gone. Good. Don't neglect your studies. Your wand work is improving by the day but you'll want to pay attention in herbology and potions. There's more to magic than spell casting. Plenty to keep me occupied while you're gone. You've done exceptionally well. I look forward to seeing all that you've accomplished when I return. Good morning, professor Garlic. How wonderful it is to see you again, Lenora dear. Oh, here. You'll need these for today's class. Um, a little treat for your auntie.

Class, please welcome the newest rose in our garden. We do look forward to growing together. How thrilling it is to have everyone back together again. This year will be filled with enchantment and excitement but the most important thing cultivated in herbology is knowledge. The prudent herbologist is no more afraid of the venomous tentacular than the bouncing bulb. Now then, today, we will be acquainting ourselves with the malefluous tuber known as the mandrake root. Acchio. Let's see if we can't make our fibrous friends a bit more comfortable, shall we?

First, let's protect our ears. Now, everyone, grip their mandrake by the tendrils and give it a firm tug. Like in the new The soil should envelop the root like a warm, dirty blanket putting the mandrake right at ease. I'm very sorry about that. Yours was a bit mature, I'm afraid. Alright then, off you go. Splendid work everyone. Yes, professor. Firstly, well done with your mandrake. They can be rather difficult to get a grasp of. Actually, I enjoyed it. I couldn't help but catch your enthusiasm.

How kind of you? It seems you're already taking to herbology like a mandrake to fresh soil. Now, as I mentioned, next, we'll be planting dittany. Let us find you some seeds. I already have some, professor. Picked them up in Hogsmeade. You visited the Magic Neep. Wonderful. A prepared student is bound to bloom. I've arranged for you to have your own potting table here in the classroom. Wasn't easy to spare one on such late notice. Plant the seeds then, and you can return to harvest them later. Even with soil, sunlight, and a bit of magic.

They will take time to grow. Once it can be harvested, your dittany will be ready to use in Wiganwell potion. I'll let Professor Sharp tell you about that. Now, what say we branch out? Introduce you to a different sort of flora, the Chinese chomping cabbage. You'll find that some plants are better suited to uses outside of a cauldron. The cabbages do get testy without something to chew. Fortunately, I have a dummy for them to gnaw on. Dear dear and let them have a good chomping. Yes, professor. They're in the other greenhouse. It's just at the end of the footbridge leading out of this room. Your classmate, mister Pruitt, has kindly offered to accompany you.

Come back and see me when you're finished. Oh, and mind your fingers. They do bite. Glass. I tended to the Chinese chomping cabbages, professor. Remarkable plants, aren't they? I hope they weren't too much trouble. Oh, don't see any bite marks or missing digits. And as you do seem to be quite green-fingered. Oh, I'm eager to see your skill in the soil continue to blossom. Magical plants have so much to offer. I'm eager to learn more. I'm glad. Herbology is a bountiful subject. Tend to your garden and it will tend to you. Huh. Well, I suppose that's everything.

Do come by for a chat sometime. I so enjoy checking in with my new students. Potions is one of the most challenging and hazardous subjects taught at this school. As fifth years, you will be required to reach new heights of both discipline and intellect. You will begin this term by brewing a Wigan Weld Potion. Mister Takar, can you tell us why this particular potion might come in handy? Yes, professor Sharp. The Wigan Weld Potion can be used to sterilize and even heal a variety of injuries.

It can heal some injuries but not all. Point for Ravenclaw. Before today's class is completed, each of you will have brewed a Wigan Weld potion of your own. You never know when you might need it. Please begin. Use a strong, even motion when crushing your ingredients. Please be meticulous when adding powder to your potions. One errant sneeze could be disastrous. I see most of you have not forgotten how to stir. Not an easy potion to brew. Well done! And from what I hear of your recent exploits in Hogsmead, you'd also do well to practice brewing the defensive Endurous potion. Professor Weasley had you acquire the recipe from J Pippins, correct? Yes, sir.

Good. For the moment you can find the ingredients you need in my office, but in the future, you'll be expected to provide your own ingredients. Some can be harvested from the plants you grow in your herbology class and rarer ones can be purchased. Others, however, may be harder to obtain and will require you to be a bit more resourceful. Come and see me when you finish brewing and we'll see if it was skill or luck the first time around. My parents considered keeping me home from school this year after the rumors of a goblin rebellion. Did I hear Professor Sharp say that you have permission to go into his office? Yes, but why does that matter to you?

Brilliant, and it matters because you can be a part of something truly creative. You remember me, don't you? Gareth Weasley. Ah, yes. We met in the common room. Listen, anyone with a troll-sized brain can brew an Endurous potion. I'm working on something that's certain to be spectacular. I'm just missing one tiny last ingredient that will add that extra spark. I suspect that's where I come in. You're as clever as I'd hoped. I simply need a single feather. As you'll already be in Sharp's office with his permission, perhaps you could grab it for me.

I don't know, Gareth. I don't want to get on Sharp's bad side. You won't. Feathers aren't that valuable. Sharp won't even miss it. I've enough to worry about collecting the ingredients he wants me to get. I'm afraid I can't help you. I understand. I'll sort something else out. I brewed an Endurous potion as you asked, professor. Glad you managed to stay on task. Not every class is so eventful. I saw Mister Weasley speaking with you earlier. He can be quite persuasive. Glad you managed to resist. You've done well today.

I confess I was skeptical given the advanced nature of this class and the fact you're a new student. I'm glad I was able to meet your expectations. A rare occurrence and you do well to remember that you're not a potions master quite yet. In addition to having a solid grasp of how to combine various ingredients, you should gain an understanding of the ingredients themselves. Pay particular attention in herbology. The plants you nurture there are often essential to the potions you brew here. Now, I recommend that you find a safe location in which to practice brewing. You cannot leave a hot cauldron simply anywhere, that are we all.

I hope you're able to take care of everything I had asked. Professor, I completed all of your most recent assignments. Well done. Then you're ready to learn Expelliarmus. Pay close attention. The disarming charm may often be all you need to defeat the most powerful dark witches and wizards you might encounter. Can it be? It's you. Has someone finally found our map chamber? I recognize you from the pentives. You're professor Rackham. I am indeed. I must confess that I am surprised to see someone so young standing before me.

I'm the same age that you and Isadora Morganarch were when you started at Hogwarts. You've paid attention, and might I presume you share our ability to see traces of ancient magic? Yes, sir. I do. As you have likely realized by now, our ability gives us a unique relationship with all forms of magic. We can access expressions of magic that few others can. Opportunities will arise that allow you to sharpen this rare talent. Do not squander them. I won't, professor. Thank you.

We have much to discuss but first, a map found in a certain book led you here. Place the book on the pedestal. I don't have the book with me, sir. Hmm, that's unfortunate. I'm afraid we must pause our conversation until you return with the book. Very well. I'll retrieve the book right away. Good. We shall speak again once the book is in place. Mister Clockton, your attention please. Sorry, madam Kagawa. Everyone, please welcome a new student to our flying class. Welcome.

Hello. Hello. The goal of today is to remind all of you how to maneuver on a broomstick safely. As broomflight is, first and foremost, a means of transportation. This I fear, some of you have forgotten. Diving, rolling, and loop the loops will not be taught or in fact tolerated in this class. We'll leave that to professional Quidditch players like the Toyo Hashitangu. Boo. Not a fan, I take it. Now, let's see how well everyone kept up with their practice over the summer holidays.

For those who need a refresher, step up to your broom. Say up firmly and clearly. Then kick your leg over and rest your weight on the seat. Thank you. Now, your turn. Up. Up. Up, you stupid ratty school broom. One leg over so there's a leg on each side. None of that side-settle nonsense. A gust of wind will throw you right off. And if you hear my whistle while you're in flight, ground yourself at once.

Now that you're climatized to your broom, let's see how well you manage with a more advanced exercise, shall we? I say, I watched you fly through those rings. You seem to handle yourself on that dusty school broom well enough. I'd imagine you're ready for something a bit more challenging, but I'm getting ahead of myself. We haven't properly met. I'm Everett Clopton. Am I right in suspecting that a Gryffindor like you might be interested in a high-flying adventure?

Can't say no to that. What did you have in mind? A bit of a detour so to speak. Follow me. And where have you two been? Oh, hello, professor. We were trying to get a bit of extra practice in. Hefty points will be taken from each of you for not following my instructions. Mister Clockton, I am disappointed in you. You're in this class because you're still not showing yourself or frankly your broom the proper respect.

But professor, enough. Class is finished for the day. As for you, you do well to use better judgement in the future. Chin up. That was some rather good fly. Sorry about that business with Kagawa, but you have to admit those views were worth it. It was worth losing a few house points for that detour. You seem at home on a broom, but if you had a fancy model, you could fly laps around Imelda. She's Kagawa's favorite.

I could show her a thing or two if I had my own broom. Hate having to return the school broom after class. Perhaps I have to purchase a broom then. If you can, you should. Wish I could. I recommend visiting Albie Weeks at Spint Witches in Hogsmead. He's always looking to test new models. I'll keep an eye out for you in the sky. Do stay behind him.

It's Sir Patrick we want. Oi Nester, look who's here. What have we told you? Nearly Headless Nick. Hello, sir. Do let us pass. We brought a little something for Sir Patrick. Probably come to try to beg his way in again. Do they always talk to you like that? No, all are good fun. Once Sir Patrick lets me join the headless hunt, I'll be right there with them. This offering is sure to win him over. Up, don't forget why I'm here, sir.

Rest assured, she'll have your information from young Jackor in no time. Wherever he may be. What I'd give for a flagging of meat or a nice leg of lamb right about now, then this party would be complete. How about the next best thing, Sir Patrick? Ah, Sir Nicholas and a student. Who let you in? Uh, we brought you a gift. This is all very suspicious. What do you really want? As if I need to ask.

Um, it’s Richard Jackdor. Uh, where can we find him? May we speak to him? Jack Door, eh? Why? Here he is now. What a shame without his head. I bet you've always wondered what that's like, hey, Nick. Uh, Sir, you Jess. It's bound to be around here somewhere. Probably being used in a game. If you find it, I give you my permission to speak with him, my young model. It's the least I can do for you for bringing this putrescent gift.

Uh sir, there's another matter I wish to discuss with you if I know. Tata, Nicholas. How many times do I have to tell you? Our entry requirements are quite clear. But sir, we aren't the headless hunt after all. Now, please, follow me and I shall help you find your way out. Farewell, my young friend. Perhaps your luck with these chaps will be better than mine.

Professor Weasley? Somewhere away from prying eyes. Forgive me, the headmaster stopped me, and I, Merlin's beard. I see you've wasted no time. Well done. Shall we? After you, professor. What is this place? This is the Room of Requirement. It only appears when one is in real need of it. Ordinarily, a student might stumble upon this room entirely by accident. If ever, I'd only planned to suggest to you how to find it by walking past that bit of wall focusing on what you need, but you've managed to reveal the room on your own.

While I’m here, we should take advantage of the moment. Now, where is Deke? Hmm, he must have fast and gone ahead. Deek, professor. The house elf I was speaking to in my classroom your first day. Thought he might help you use the room once you found it. There's no chance I'm clambering over this mess. This presents the perfect opportunity to teach you Evanesco, the vanishing spell. You can cast Evanesco to vanish certain objects such as these chairs and other things here in the room.

I suggest you practice the wand movements first, then you can clear the chairs away. Splendid. Now, cast Evanesco on those chairs. Excellent work. You'll note that you are now in possession of moonstone. We shall discuss its uses later. Let's move on. Where in Merlin's name is that elf? Is that goodness? My old school bag. I wondered where that had got to. Can't believe it's still here. I'll just take a quick look at this.

Give you an opportunity to explore on your own until we locate Deke. Yes, professor. Dear me. Can't you keep it down? Some of us are trying to rest. Hope this isn't as precarious as it looks. An intruder. Stop them. No, not. That's not helpful, you worthless pile of tin. How does anyone other than a house elf manage to get around in here? What was that? Was that a golden stitch? Perhaps you should summon your wits and find out. We hope that house elf can find us in here. Yikes. Careful.

Oh, there you are. Wait right there. Deek will come to you. Hello. Ah. Deke, we've been looking for you. Apologies, professor Weasley. Deke was looking through some of what's appeared in the room since Deke was last here. Is this the student? Indeed, it is. Deek is honored to meet you. Deek has been a friend since I was a second year. We discovered this room together. I mentioned you to Deke. We believe that you might be able to benefit from this room like I did.

Deke, would you be so kind? Of course, professor Weasley. The Room of Requirement will always be equipped for the seeker’s needs. It's unplottable so won't appear on any map. Most have it upon it by accident if ever. Deke's seen students in need of an extra vial for potions stumble upon the room filled with them. You seem to have accessed it in its form as the room of hidden things. I was thinking about needing a place away from prying eyes. Brilliant! Oh, that explains it then.

What I need specifically is a place where I can catch up on my schoolwork without distraction. Well then, the room can provide you with precisely that. Now, it's time to focus on what you need. Just close your eyes. Imagine the room precisely as you need it. The room will do the rest. You've given yourself quite a canvas to work with. I look forward to seeing what you do with the space. And it seems the room has provided you with a desk of description. Excellent. It can identify unfamiliar items of clothing. One should always understand the effects of anything in which one is clothed.

Nothing tight. You'll find plenty of items of clothing that need to be identified. The desk will be an invaluable resource. I imagine the desk of description will come in handy. It will. I hope you'll take advantage of it. Now, I'll give you a brief lesson in conjuring. The room might not provide everything you need on its own. Conjuring? Yes, the magic of creating or conjuring objects. I'll teach you. Very good. When conjuring more complex objects, you'll need what's called a spell craft.

Spell crafts are like recipes. They list the ingredients or resources needed to conjure a particular object. You should have acquired some for a potion station and potting table from Tones and Scrolls in Hogsmeade. I did. Where can I find the resources I need? While resources such as moonstone can be obtained throughout the Highlands, it's much safer and easier to purchase them. They can also be collected by vanishing objects such as the chairs you vanished earlier. In fact, you should have enough resources for now. I see. Can I regain resources by vanishing something I've already conjured?

You can indeed. Hmm, quite perceptive. Why don't you give it a try? Go ahead and conjure the potion station and potting table. You should find both familiar since they'll resemble the ones you've already used to study magical plots and brew potions in class. I was hoping to see you. You're back. Finally, Minister Spavin talks more than he listens, ranted on and on about rogue dragons. Wouldn't listen to a word about goblins. Speaking of which. Listen, professor. So much happened while you were away. Nearly Headless Nick asked me to get some rotten roast beef from the kitchens.

Rotten roast beef? Yes, I thought it was old too, but then, we took the roast beef to Surpod more of the headless hunt and. You've met the headless hunt? That must have been interesting to say the least. Yes. And then I had to find Richard Jackdoor's head in the pumpkins so that he'd tell me about how he died. Who on earth is Richard Jackdoor? He was a student here long ago. Anyway, he told me about a secret cavern. I went there and right next to Jackdoor's skeleton, I found the missing pages. You found the pages?

I did, and because Jackdoor had followed the map they contained, when I found the pages, I found the location on the map. Believe it or not, it’s a room below Hogwarts. Why am I not surprised? Shall we? I was hoping you'd say that. Owen will need to bring the book. It was beneath us all this time. Looks promising. Hogsmead. Over here, the forbidden forest. Of course, Hogwarts, it's magnificent. If only you were here to see this. Hello, Professor Rackham. We've placed the book on the pedestal as you asked, and this is my mentor, Professor Fig.

How do you do, Professor Fig? And you, my young friend, see now why you needed to return with the book? I do. I also see why you refer to this room as the map chamber. That you have come this far tells me that you possess extraordinary magical ability. The potential and power of which will unlock should you prove your worth. The location of each of the four trials will in time appear on the map. Trials that will test you and give you access to invaluable knowledge. Trials that you must complete on your own.

Do you recall the pensive memory viewed in my vault in Gringotts? You and your friend Charles spoke of the Port Key and of trials you'd created for one who could see traces of ancient magic. Precisely. Charles is another of the keepers. A designation we gave ourselves centuries ago. In light of the knowledge that we have been bound to keep hidden. Until perhaps now. So the passage from your ruins to Gringotts. Everything in the vault, the restricted section. Finding this room, none of these was a trial. They were an important part of the journey, but they were not trials themselves.

The fact that you have come this far, however, bodes well. The trials were designed to ensure that the power and knowledge we have kept secret for so long does not fall into the wrong hands. They will test your abilities both innate and learned, but of equal importance, everything you witness as you complete the trials will inform what you choose to do with all that we share. You will need patience. The trials have much to teach you. It will take time.

I'm afraid we don't have the luxury of time. We have waited this long, Professor Fig. Surely, a few more... Respectfully, sir. While I do not know the secret you keep, I do know that our young friend here has seen traces... Traces of a powerful dark magic being wielded by goblin kind and we encountered an uncommonly powerful goblin wielding such magic as we prepared to leave your vault at Gringotts. We may already be too late. This is grave news indeed.

Young friend, do you trust professor Fig? I do. Then, in the light of your considerable skill and all you have already accomplished, we shall begin. You will find the location of the first trial marked on the map below you. Whilst Professor Fig may assist you in locating the trials, they may be completed only by one with our ability. Shall we have a look? I know that tower. It's not far. You may have seen it yourself. It looks familiar.

Perhaps your young friend is more well-traveled than you might think. As your mentor, the least I can do is go ahead to make sure it is safe. Join me as soon as you can. I'll find you at the tower as soon as I can. Until then, be careful and do not tell anyone where you're going. It's time you learned Iglesias, the freezing spell. It is an efficient way to cool down a heated situation, but first, I will need you to complete a few tasks. Once you've done that, come and see me.

We're not alone. We are not. Ranrock's loyalists. Around a dozen I can see but could be more. Can't we apparate past them into the tower? We could but we've no idea what's in the tower. More importantly, however, I'd like to know why they're here. They've set up camp just ahead. I suggest we investigate a little before doing anything else. Let's go. Well, this isn't ideal. No, it isn't. This way and I'd suggest we use the disillusionment charm here. No sense in announcing our arrival. Quickly now.

Incendio. Someone there. We could charge. Ensend you. I've experience. This is funny. Incident. Conference. Incendio. No. I will make you pay until you're dead. Just you wait to watch the experience. Orders directly from Ranrock. These orders indicate that they're after something to do with names. What names? And why here?

I will draw blood. You won't last long. Doesn't hit me. Yeah, man. Leviosa. Why? To turn this out and all given necessary. Experience. What do you say to give up? It's protection. A Round one. Nebuchadnezzar. Stupid. Looks like we found the entrance. It's locked. An unlocking charm. Very handy. No time now but if you don't learn it soon enough, we can work on it back at the castle. Welcome to Sam Bakar's Tower. Ugh. Ugh.

Hello, professor. Did you say Sam Bakar's tower? I did. Professor Bakar is a keeper you had yet to encounter. I'm glad to see that I was correct in presuming that we would meet again soon after our last encounter. Though I surmised based on the commotion I heard that you did not have an easy time getting to me. We did not, professor. We encountered goblins outside the tower. That goblins were aware of my vault is quiet enough, but if they have also made a connection to this tower, then the threat may be greater than I thought.

All the more reason for us to move forward. Downstairs near the entry, a reservoir of ancient magic like those you've seen before has been unlocked. Commanded to access a doorway. I'm afraid I cannot say more. As Professor Fig cannot join you, he and I will in time see you back at the map chamber. Remember what you see. We're going to need to understand how Ranrock's loyalist knew about a tower that once belonged to a keeper. For the moment, however, you've more important things to set your mind to.

A reservoir of ancient magic, I believe? Yes, sir. Then, I shall leave matters in your increasingly capable hands. That said, be careful. I will, sir. I'll see you back in the map chamber. A reservoir of ancient magic downstairs near the entry. Whoa. I've seen this before in Gringott and the restricted section. Impressive. That must have done something. Best have a look around. Or traces of ancient magic. Something must be different.

These are never a welcome sight. At least I know what to expect this time. Rebellio. Peter. Protego. Stupid fight. Incendio. Expelliarmus. Confringo. You will send here. Experience. Confringo. For Dago. Incendio. Huh? Wonder if I'm safe to explore in there. Potato. Just the problem. He'll see it was a mistake parting ways with me. Sir, is everything alright? How kind of you to ask? The name's Ackley Barnes, and no, it is not.

I'm plotting a sort of revenge against my ex-business partner, a conniving fiend by the name of Alfred Lawley. He cut me out of our herbology supply business just as we were getting started. Hmm, said I was too volatile to work with. I'll show him volatile. That must have been frustrating for you. Yes, yes, it was. Terribly. I'm simply passionate about my work. Super silliest fool. He's passionate about things too, as I intend to remind him by relieving him of his prized possession.

A venomous tentacular, he's grown from a seedling that was to be the keystone of our business venture. I can't get anywhere near it with Ruth Singer watching me like an ogre. Lawley's doing, no doubt, but no one would suspect a student. How would you feel about committing some grand plant larceny? I'll get the venomous tentacular for you. Marvelous. I know a fellow seeker of justice when I see one. Take as many herbology supplies as you like while you're in his cellar.

All I ask is that you bring me the Venomous Tentacular. Remember, I just need that Venomous Tentacular. Seems I need to. This must be it. Venomous Tentacular. Better not let Mr. Lawley see me. Hello, Hamora. Where is that venomous tentacular? Let's go. Potato. Now that I have the venomous tentacular, I should return to Mister Barnes. Excending. Expand the armors. Good Fringo. Completed that errand for me yet?

Hello, Mr. Barnes. I have that Venomous Tentacular. Wish I could see Lawley's face when he realizes his prized possession is gone. Let's see who's volatile now. Well done. I'll take it off your hands now. Of course, glad to hand it over, frankly. I shall make an ocean of galleons and Lawley's business will be sunk. Here's a little something for your next trip to Zonko's. Oh, to see the look on Lawley's face the next time he wanders down to his cellar.

And what might happen in their own home? Long of the day. Ah, glad you came. Pardon me but were you saying something? Oh, hello. Talking to myself. I'm Clementine Willardsy, charmed. I was musing on the precious butterflies I see near the edge of the forest. Whenever I come near, they fly off into it. When I was at Hogwarts, we truly were forbidden from entering the forest. Told horrible stories about it and I've had an irrationally intense fear of it ever since. It's silly, but I'm insatiably curious as to where the butterflies go in the forest.

You couldn't possibly find out, could you? You want me to follow the butterflies? I do, yes. If you wouldn't mind. But very well, if I have time, I shall see where they lead. Oh, how kind. Students these days have so much more courage than I ever did. You can usually find me right around here. I hope to see you soon. Don't forget, the butterflies always seem to be on the fringes of the forbidden forest. Good luck. Protego. Only a hairy-hearted Stitch fight. Yes. Lumos. In February. Stupid fight. Confringo.

For Dago. Fierce. Experience. Ascendio. Expand the armors. Stupid not my fault, you're a deadly great spider. Experience. Confringo. Huh. There they are. She wasn't making it up. Well, we've come this far. Miss Willardsy might get an answer about these butterflies.
