He reaches a conclusion about the latter and sends for Snape while the quartet make their way to him under the Invisibility Cloak. They arrive in time to hear Voldemort tell Snape that he cannot truly possess the Elder Wand while its previous master lives. Voldemort believes that because Snape killed Dumbledore, Snape is the true owner of the wand. Voldemort orders Nagini to kill Snape and he leaves feeling no remorse.

Charlotte Potter

[QUOTE]

**Charlotte Potter** (27 March, 1960-31 October, 1981), also known as **Kit**, was an English pureblood witch, twin sister of James Potter I and daughter to Fleamont and Euphemia Potter. She attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from 1971-1978 and was Sorted into Gryffindor. When Charlotte started at Hogwarts she met and became best friends with four fellow Gryffindor students: Lily Evans. Remus Lupin, Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew.

After graduating from Hogwarts, Charlotte agreed to be a surrogate for Remus and Sirius, and together the three of them had a daughter, Felicity Black. Charlotte, Remus, Sirius and their friends all fought in the First Wizarding War as members of the Order of the Phoenix. When James and Lily were tragically murdered by Voldemort on Halloween in 1981 she sought revenge by going after Sirius, who she wrongfully thought was the traitor, before she was unknowingly killed by Peter Pettigrew while he was faking his own death.
DH15: The Goblin's Revenge

"*I saw no reason to trouble them with the information.*"
— Griphook

Harry, Ron and Hermione spend weeks moving from place to place. They fail to destroy the locket or think of a lead to find the others. They squabble with one another in frustration, aggravated by the Horcrux's poisonous influence. Eventually they stumble across other fugitives - a party of Muggleborn wizards and goblins on the run - and learn that a fake has been substituted for Gryffindor's sword. They then question the portrait of Phineas Nigellus Black (which Hermione hid in her bag) and learn that the sword is able to destroy Horcruxes. Ron, his anger increased by wearing the Horcrux, argues with Harry and walks out on them.

— Harry Potter to Remus Lupin

Remus Lupin seeks out Harry, Ron, Flick and Hermione at Grimmauld Place and offers to accompany them on their quest, but Harry refuses, recognising that Lupin is seeking escape from complications in his personal life. Kreacher returns with Mundungus Fletcher, who reveals that Dolores Umbridge took the locket from him; it was a bribe so she would not turn him in for selling magical artefacts without a license.
OP10: Luna Lovegood

CS14: Cornelius Fudge

"*That's Dad's boss... Cornelius Fudge, the Minister of Magic.*"
— Ron Weasley

Harry, Ron, Flick and Hermione decide not to confront Hagrid, as time passes and there are no more attacks. Second-year students choose their courses for the next year, Quidditch practice becomes more frequent, Harry returns to his dormitory to find his belongings ransacked and the diary gone. Harry hears the voice again, Hermione runs to the library, and the Quidditch match is cancelled when Hermione and Penelope Clearwater are attacked. Harry, Ron and Flick visit Hagrid and overhear a conversation between Dumbledore, Cornelius Fudge, Hagrid and Lucius Malfoy. Hagrid is taken to Azkaban and Dumbledore is suspended as the Ministry tries to stop the attacks.

## Interesting Facts and Notes

We first meet Cornelius Fudge in this chapter, and learn that he responds far better to political pressure than to any abstract demands of justice.

**"Maybe it was some other monster attacking people..."**

**"How many monsters d'you think this place can hold?" Ron asked dully.**

Apart from the monster of Slytherin - who in hindsight, of course, wasn't Aragog, but the Basilisk - we have the Acromantulas, Fluffy himself, Boggarts that come and go...

**"We keep all our old subjects, or I'd've ditched Defence Against the Dark Arts."**

**"But that's very important!" said Hermione, shocked.**

**"Not the way Lockhart teaches it," said Ron. "I haven't learned anything from him except not to set pixies loose."**

Ron's making an extremely important point, here. All the students of Hogwarts would have been better off with almost any other Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher. Even Umbridge at least set the kids reading assignments that didn't require the kids to memorise their teacher's favourite colour.

## Exceptional Character Moments

Fudge, who takes Hagrid into custody and condemns him to Azkaban because he himself lacks the backbone to stand up to the wizarding public and do what is right rather than what is easy

## Memorable Lines

*Flick voiced the knottiest question of all in a hesitant voice: "Do you think we should go and ask Hagrid about it all?"*

*"That'd be a cheerful visit," said Ron. "Hello, Hagrid, tell us, have you been setting anything mad and hairy loose in the castle lately?"*
DH31: The Battle of Hogwarts

"*IF WE DIE FOR THEM, I'LL KILL YOU, HARRY!*"
— Ron Weasley

Ron and Hermione destroy Hufflepuff's cup using a basilisk fang taken from the Chamber of Secrets and together, finding Flick along the way, they go to the Room of Requirement to destroy the diadem. There they encounter Draco Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle, but Malfoy's former henchmen no longer answer to him; during the subsequent duel, Crabbe unleashes Fiendfyre, which destroys much of the room's contents and kills him. Harry, Ron, Flick and Hermione escape, rescuing Malfoy and Goyle in the process. They then encounter Percy and Fred Weasley, duelling Death Eaters, only to be caught by an explosion that kills Fred.
PA1: Owl Post

"*Don't let the Muggles get you down!*"
— Ron Weasley

We are reminded of Harry's previous adventures and told of his summer holidays, he receives birthday cards and presents from his friends, and Harry learns what Ron, Flick and Hermione did during the summer.

## Calendar and Dates

**First week of summer vacation, last week of June, 1993** - Ron calls Harry at Privet Drive, Ron's poor use of a Muggle phone gets Harry in trouble with Vernon Dursley.

**July 31, 1993 - 1:00-2:00 AM** - Harry is secretly doing summer homework on his bed for Professor Binns' class. Harry stops working on his essay, puts away his school supplies and hides them, stands up and realises he's turned 13.

## Interesting Facts and Notes

CS1, this chapter, and GF2 are given the unfortunate task of filling the reader in on "the story so far." With each successive book, this gets a bit more cumbersome, as there is just so much more story to tell. Thankfully, the FART gave up on this approach with book five, very rightly deciding instead that anyone who was silly enough to jump into the series with book five can't expect to have much of a clue of what's going on.
GF36: The Parting of the Ways

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

"*The finest school of witchcraft and wizardry in the world.*"
— Rubeus Hagrid's praising of Hogwarts

**Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry**, often shortened to **Hogwarts**, was the British wizarding school, located in the Scottish Highlands. It accepted magical students from Great Britain and Ireland for enrolment. It was a state-owned school, funded by the Ministry of Magic.

The precise location of the school could never be uncovered because it was rendered Unplottable. To Muggles, the school appeared to be an old, abandoned castle. Similarly, most wizarding schools' locations were protected in order to prevent their ways of teaching being revealed, as well as protect the students and schools themselves from any harm.

Established around the 10th Century, Hogwarts was considered to be one of the finest magical institutions in the wizarding world, though other notable schools included Beauxbatons Academy of Magic in France, the Durmstrang Institute implied to be in northern Europe, and Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the United States.

Children with magical abilities were enrolled at birth, and acceptance was confirmed by owl post at age eleven. However, if the child in question was a Muggleborn or a Half-Blood like Harry Potter with no knowledge of the wizarding world, a staff member from the school visited the child and their family in order to inform them of their magical heritage and the existence of the wizarding world.

The school's motto was *Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus* which, translated from Latin, means "Never tickle a sleeping dragon."

## Description

Hogwarts School, located somewhere in the Highlands of Scotland, consisted of the large Hogwarts Castle and extensive school grounds surrounding it, which included sloping lawns, flowerbeds, vegetable patches, as well as a loch (called the Black Lake), a large dense forest (called the Forbidden Forest), several greenhouses and other out buildings, and a full-size Quidditch Pitch. One of the castle's towers held an owlery, which housed all the owls owned by the school and by students.

Molly Weasley's Letter to Vernon and Petunia Dursley

## Molly Weasley's Letter to Petunia and Vernon Dursley

### Subject

Molly asks the Dursleys whether they'll allow her to take Harry to the final of the Quidditch World Cup and to see him safely onto the train back to school.

### Delivered via

Little Whinging Postman

**Vernon Dursley**: "*Look at this.*"
**Harry Potter**: "*She did put enough stamps on, then.*"
**Vernon Dursley**: "*The postman noticed. Very interested to know where this letter came from, he was. That's why he rang the doorbell. Seemed to think it was funny.*"
— Vernon Dursley's displeasure at having received Molly's strange letter

This **letter** was written by Molly Weasley to Vernon and Petunia Dursley on 23 August, 1994, asking permission to take their nephew, Harry, to the Quidditch World Cup. The letter was sent via Muggle Mail, and Molly, unfamiliar with Muggle customs, covered the entire letter envelope with stamps, save the part in which the address was written.

## Contents

*Dear Mr and Mrs Dursley,*

*We have never been introduced, but I am sure you have heard a great deal from Harry about my son Ron.*

*As Harry might have told you, the final of the Quidditch World Cup takes place this Monday night, and my husband, Arthur, has just managed to get prime tickets through his connections at the Department of Magical Games and Sports. I do hope you will allow us to take Harry to the match, as this really is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.*

*Britain hasn't hosted the cup for thirty years, and tickets are extremely hard to come by. We would of course be glad to have Harry stay for the remainder of the summer holidays, and to see him safely onto the train back to school.*

*It would be best for Harry to send us your answer as quickly as possible in the normal way, because the Muggle postman has never delivered to our house, and I am not sure he even knows where it is.*

*Hoping to see Harry soon.*

*Yours sincerely,*

*Molly Weasley*

The Eminence in Shadow 1

**The Eminence in Shadow 1** is the first volume of *The Eminence in Shadow* series.

## Summary

Even in his past life, Cid's dream wasn't to become a protagonist or a final boss. He'd rather lie low as a minor character until it's prime time to reveal he's a mastermind...or at least, do the next best thing-pretend to be one! And now that he's been reborn into another world, he's ready to set the perfect conditions to live out his dreams to the fullest. Armed with his overactive imagination, Cid jokingly recruits members to his organization and makes up a whole backstory about an evil cult that they need to take down. Well, as luck would have it, these imaginary adversaries turn out to be the real deal-and everyone knows the truth but him!

5 January

**5 January** is the day of the year. There are 360 days until the end of the year (361 in leap years).

## Events

* 1994: sometime in early January, Harry has his first lesson with Remus Lupin on the Patronus Charm.
* 1997: Harry Potter, Felicity Black, and Ron and Ginny Weasley head back to Hogwarts from Christmas at The Burrow via Floo Powder.
DH29: The Lost Diadem

"*Everyone in this Room's been fighting and they've been driven in here because the Carrows were hunting them down. Everyone in here's proven they're loyal to Dumbledore - loyal to you.*"
— Neville Longbottom

Neville escorts Harry, Ron, Flick and Hermione through the passageway from the Hog's Head to the Room of Requirement, where Dumbledore's Army recaps the situation in Hogwarts and the Ravenclaws tell Harry about Ravenclaw's diadem. Luna escorts Harry to Ravenclaw Tower to look at its representation on Rowena Ravenclaw's statue, and Alecto Carrow ambushes them in the Ravenclaw Common Room.
CS18: Dobby's Reward

"*Dobby is free!*"
— Dobby

Harry tells his story to Dumbledore, McGonagall, Arthur and Molly, Ginny and Lockhart are sent to hospital, Lucius Malfoy arrives with Dobby and Harry tricks Lucius into freeing Dobby.

## Calendar and Dates

The scenes in McGonagall's office and the corridor outside take place immediately after the evens of the previous chapter. The rest of the term is summarised in a paragraph, and the closing scenes take place on board the Hogwarts Express and in King's Cross Station at term's end.

## Interesting Facts and Notes

This chapter wraps up various loose ends, by explaining who Dobby's wizarding family is and what their involvement with the diary was. Dobby also receives his just reward.

**Ignoring the elf bobbing apologetically around his ankles...**

This arrogant, unconscious dismissal of servants - in particular, of an enslaved servant whom Lucius believes lacks the ability to resist his bondage - is one of the greatest weaknesses in the security precautions taken by the Malfoys and their like. This is why Dobby was able to find out so much: Lucius simply didn't think to take into account that Dobby was a witness to his activities.

The same applies, of course, to Sirius Black's relationship with Kreacher, though the tenor of that relationship differs from that between Dobby and the Malfoys.

## Exceptional Character Moments

Lucius Malfoy's arrogance in ignoring Dobby throughout his encounter with Dumbledore and Harry.

Harry Potter's Wand

"*Harry had waved what felt like every wand in the shop, until at last he had found the one that suited him - this one, which was made of holly, eleven inches long, and contained a single feather from the tail of a phoenix. Mr Ollivander had been very surprised that Harry had been so compatible with this wand. "Curious," he had said, "curious," and not until Harry asked what was curious had Mr Ollivander explained that the phoenix feather in Harry's wand had come from the same bird that had supplied the core of Lord Voldemort's.*"
— Description of Harry Potter's wand

**Harry Potter's wand** was 11" long, made of holly, and possessed a phoenix feather core. This was described by Garrick Ollivander to be an unusual combination of wand core and wood. The feather was donated by Fawkes, Albus Dumbledore's phoenix.

It was revealed by Garrick Ollivander that Tom Riddle's wand core also came from Fawkes, making the two wands "brothers". Harry's wand was described as being "*nice and supple*."

Harry's wand was broken in 1997, but was repaired by him after the 1998 Battle of Hogwarts. Usually the repairing of a wand is impossible, but with the use of the Elder Wand it was achievable. It can be assumed that Harry continued to use his wand after this, as he was incredibly fond of it.
DH4: The Seven Potters

"*Wow - we're identical!*"
— Fred and George Weasley

Mad-Eye arrives with Ron, Flick, Hermione and various Order members in tow, announcing a change in plans. Six of them are to use Polyjuice Potion to act as decoy Harry Potters while seven act as protectors. Each protector/Potter pair would head to a different safe-house. Upon getting airborne and splitting up, all of them are attacked, and Hedwig is killed. Harry gives himself away by using the Disarming Charm. Voldemort appears and nearly succeeds in killing Harry, but Harry's wand acts of its own accord. It sends golden fire at Voldemort, causing Lucius' wand to break. This gives Harry the time he needs to escape, crashing the motorbike through the Protection Charms and into the Tonks' back garden.
HBP24: Sectumsempra

"*Then why does it have the name 'Roonil Wazlib' written inside the front cover?*"
— Severus Snape

Ron and Ginny are both single again. Katie Bell returns to Hogwarts, but can't remember what happened to her. Harry sees Malfoy with Moaning Myrtle on the Marauder's Map and runs to eavesdrop, but is shocked when he sees Malfoy crying. When Malfoy tries to hex Harry, Harry uses *Sectumsempra* on him without knowing what it does and slashes him apart. Snape heals Malfoy, but gives Harry detention during the final Quidditch match and every Saturday for the rest of the year. Despite being without their captain, Gryffindor wins the match and the Quidditch Cup. When Harry arrives at the party, he finally kisses Ginny.
GF30: The Pensieve

"*One simply siphons the excess thoughts from one's mind, pours them into the basin, and examines them at one's leisure.*"
— Albus Dumbledore

CS15: Aragog

"*C'mon, Fang, we're going for a walk.*"
— Harry Potter

Tension mounts in Hogwarts as everyone fears another attack - except Draco Malfoy, who is enjoying the situation. Acting on Hagrid's hint about following the spiders, Harry, Ron and Flick go into the Forbidden Forest, find the Ford Anglia, are captured by acromantulas, learn more about the Chamber of Secrets, and are rescued by the car.

## Calendar and Dates

The date on which they enter the Forest can be worked out from the next chapter, since the exact date of the following day is given.

## Exceptional Character Moments

* Draco Malfoy, gloating that his father "got rid of Dumbledore" - with no idea that he himself will one day be unable to bring himself to "get rid of" Dumbledore
* Draco Malfoy, sucking up to Snape
* Seamus, pretending to throw up after listening to Malfoy fawning on Snape
* Flick, prepared to hex Draco after Draco says what a pity it was that Hermione wasn't the first victim to be killed
* Ernie, who has the grace and the guts to publicly apologise to Harry for suspecting him

HBP10: The House of Gaunt

"*This time, you enter the Pensieve with me... and, even more unusually, with permission.*"
— Albus Dumbledore

Harry attends his first lesson with Dumbledore, who explains that they will be delving into Voldemort's past via the Pensieve. In Bob Ogden's memory they go to Marvolo Gaunt's house to see about his son, Morfin, who has broken wizarding law by attacking a Muggle; there they see a mean, impoverished, racist Marvolo abusing his daughter, Merope, who is watching Muggle Tom Riddle. Dumbledore explains that Merope later used a love potion on Tom; Merope and Tom married, but when Merope stopped giving him the love potion, he left her - despite the fact that she was pregnant.
PA7: The Boggart in the Wardrobe

Hermione gives Harry advice on his love life, Gryffindor continues its losing streak at Quidditch, and Harry's article is published - which is quickly outlawed by Umbridge. Harry has another disturbing dream from Voldemort's point of view, Harry continues his Occlumency lessons with Snape, Trelawney is sacked, and Firenze is hired to teach Divination.
HBP29: The Phoenix Lament

"*I feel that if a single pupil wants to come, then the school ought to remain open for that pupil.*"
— Pomona Sprout

Ginny leads Harry to the hospital wing, where the Order discusses Bill, Dumbledore, Snape and the events of the evening. We also learn that Fleur still wants to marry a disfigured Bill, and Tonks is in love with Remus. McGonagall takes Harry to her office (formerly Dumbledore's) and asks where he was, but Harry refuses to say; the heads of houses then arrive and discuss closing the school. Finally, as Scrimgeour arrives, Harry leaves to Gryffindor Tower, where he updates Ron on the Horcrux.

"*It means the Ministry's interfering at Hogwarts.*"
