Mysterious figures deal in magical playing cards. New Auror Severina is asked to monitor a 'Magical Wireless.' Darius Zabini (son of Blaise) is interupted trying to assault a Muggle woman by a powerful stranger, who tortures him for information about a daemon called 'Azarad.'

The two police officers who found Zabini's body have had their memories erased, but they find footage of what happend on a helmet camera.

Severina observes one of Zabini's associates boarding the Moonligher, and meeting Pansy Parkinson. The police investigate another missing memory case.

Severina begins her investigation at Hogwarts, assisted by the incoming new Headmistress, 'Auntie' Hermione Weasley, who introduces the quarter giant Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher. Bardolf is also captured by the resourceful Muggles.

Bardolf makes a deal with the Muggles. Severina reveals more of her past over lunch with Hermione.

Severina gets more information about Wrathborne from Professor Longbottom, and then ends up in an awkward situation with Hermione.

Severina and the Muggles sneak into Wrathborne Manor, and discover the truth behind Dael Wrathborne's motivations.

Severina catches Snide at his flat, but is interrupted by Wrathborne. When she uses her magic nullification spell, it is revealled that the cards Darius and Snide had been playing with contain the missing Muggle women.

The Aurors set their trap for Panhandle, but Bardolf is captured, and imprisoned in a playing card next to Harry Potter. Azarad places both cards in the two-way mirror, to ensure Severina knows she has hostages.

Teddy disguises himself as Snide to rescue hostages from Bullingdon. Azarad attempts to cross the firebreak, to burn the rest of the Forbidden Forest and secure his escape. Snide releases an army from the black suits, but with help from Severina's null-spell, the Sword Club, the centaurs, and even the Muggles are all able to contribute to the final battle. The conclusion comes with a nasty surprise from Severina.
