“Ah, Mr Potter. I was about to attempt a rescue.”

Harry attends James’ graduation from Nadel’s Academy. Two student deaths are remembered and Harry is advised there may be problems ahead.

“Okay, so my entire department has been covering up for her?”

Harry learns more about what happened at the Ministry. He then asks Ron to find him someone to help his own investigation. Ron suggests two, both of whom have been studiously avoiding Harry.

“How can I help you, dear?”

Harry and Beatrice deliver a message to Proctor's mother. Harry half suspects that the remote disused farm might not be Proctor's home at all, but wonders why else the confused Proctor would have directed them there.

“In the matter of Chandler, deceased, we find that he died within the Wizengamot’s jurisdiction. All claims and actions in inferior courts are hereby dismissed.”

The traps set at the farm have made a surprising catch. Memory seals are lifted by the Wizengamot and James has a reaction. The Wizengamot summonses James to appear before them.

“I will build us an ice palace and you’ll have a hundred servants!”

Uri arrives unannounced with a tale to tell Harry. Ron is losing patience with the young investigators but Harry encourages them to consider anyone, including himself, as a suspect as they delve deeper into the Ministry’s own records.

Harry finds Ginny and Lily to tell them James has survived. Ron is compromised. Bode and Nadel probe James' memories. Harry sees a memory from Murava's point of view.
