Chapter 278: The Final Chapter

Peter Pettigrew escaped!

The Ministry of Magic’s Aurors discovered this the next morning.

“How is this possible! He had no wand, couldn’t cast spells—he’s just a Muggle! How could he have escaped this room?” Minister Fudge roared before the cell where Peter Pettigrew had been held.

The Aurors stood silent, unsure how Peter Pettigrew had escaped.

“I have a theory,” Professor Dumbledore said after examining the cell.

Everyone immediately turned their gaze toward Professor Dumbledore.

“The lock on the door shows no signs of magical tampering—it wasn’t an outsider who freed Peter Pettigrew,” Professor Dumbledore said without preamble.

The Aurors nodded, agreeing with Dumbledore’s judgment.

“Therefore, I believe Peter Pettigrew, in his fear, achieved a breakthrough and became a highly advanced Animagus—highly advanced Animagus transformation requires no wand,” Professor Dumbledore said gravely.

“Peter Pettigrew has likely fled far away,” Dumbledore said with certainty.

Minister Fudge refused to accept this reality, but he had no better option—searching for a tiny mouse in the vast Forbidden Forest was like finding a needle in a haystack.

Then he thought of Sirius Black—he wanted to capture Sirius Black to offset the damage caused by Peter Pettigrew’s escape—but too many people had attended last night’s trial, too many knew the truth; he could not cover it up, so he reluctantly abandoned the idea.

Peter Pettigrew’s escape sparked days of discussion among Harry and his friends, but fortunately, Sirius Black had been cleared of charges—even though the key witness had fled, many who had witnessed the trial could attest to his innocence, and so Sirius Black ultimately regained his reputation.

The Chronicles of Sun and Moon

But what troubled Harry was that he still had to return to his aunt’s house for the summer—he could not live with Sirius Black. This was Sirius’s decision after speaking with Professor Dumbledore, who cited unresolved administrative formalities as the reason.

Harry reluctantly accepted this.

Allen Finis felt nothing about Peter Pettigrew’s escape—he had devoted all his energy to his research, and Professor Dumbledore’s involvement had greatly accelerated his progress.

He once again recognized the terrifying depth of Dumbledore’s magical research.

His rapid advancement in research made him indifferent to Peter Pettigrew’s escape; he believed it would have no impact on him.

Later events proved Allen had underestimated the impact Peter Pettigrew’s escape would have on him.

Because Peter Pettigrew had lived beside Allen for three full years, he was one of the few in the wizarding world who truly understood Allen’s potential and abilities.

Even though Allen did not appear in the final battle, anyone with half a brain could guess those scrolls and potions were tied to him.

After fleeing Hogwarts, Peter Pettigrew set out to find Voldemort—and he found him easily. Though Voldemort was still extremely weak, and though Barty Crouch Jr. had already reached him first, Voldemort had already devised a resurrection plan.

After hearing Voldemort’s resurrection plan, Peter Pettigrew fell silent.

“Must we use Harry Potter’s blood? Dumbledore’s protection over him is extremely tight,” Peter Pettigrew said hesitantly.

“Yes. I need the power within Potter’s bloodline,” Voldemort declared without room for argument.

“And we already have a meticulous plan,” Barty Crouch Jr. added from beside him.

“If you seek powerful bloodline abilities, why not choose Allen Finis’s blood instead?” Peter Pettigrew ventured cautiously.

“That is the most powerful bloodline ability I have ever witnessed.”

He added.

Voldemort and Barty Crouch Jr. exchanged puzzled glances, and Peter Pettigrew shared with them all the intelligence he possessed about Allen...

The new term began. During the summer, Allen declined Ron’s invitation to watch the Quidditch World Cup, as he was studying ancient magical runes and Transfiguration with Professor Dumbledore—their progress was swift, and they did not wish to waste time on the Quidditch World Cup.

If there was one regret from last year, it was Professor Lupin’s departure from Hogwarts—it seemed that position was truly cursed.

But the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor—Mad-Eye Moody—was also excellent; at least, Allen quite liked him.

Mad-Eye Moody gradually developed a good relationship with Allen.

One night, Professor Moody invited Allen to his office to see something—but when Allen reached out to touch it, he discovered it was a Portkey, and he was transported to a graveyard.

An unexpected battle erupted; unprepared, Allen was forced to fight. Years of peace had left him ill-equipped for combat, especially against two adult wizards.

He was immediately overpowered and even wounded.

Fortunately, Peter Pettigrew and Barty Crouch Jr. held back slightly, giving Allen a chance to breathe.

Allen countered their attacks with multiple Animagus transformations, and eventually was forced to release the Basilisk—only then did he escape, using a flying Animagus form.

But Voldemort’s goal had been achieved: Allen’s blood, spilled on the scene, was magically collected by Peter Pettigrew and used in Voldemort’s resurrection ritual.

Voldemort’s resurrection ritual succeeded—a more powerful Voldemort was reborn. He possessed the same transformation talent as Allen, and wielded it even more powerfully.

All of this was witnessed by the Animagus forms Allen had left behind.

So Dumbledore learned of Voldemort’s resurrection at once.

The Order of the Phoenix began preparing for the coming war.

Voldemort, now possessing greater power, became even more reckless.

He continuously summoned Death Eaters and launched attacks of all kinds.

Allen’s research continued to advance—he finally uncovered the ultimate secret of magic in this world: magic was controlled and manifested by a supercomputer, and wizards were merely biological entities granted spellcasting permissions within this system.

Allen’s greatest strength was never his bloodline or talent—his true power lay in the courage to explore the unknown and his boundless curiosity. This was his true source of strength—and Voldemort would never understand this.

The final battle began at Hogwarts.

Voldemort led his army of Death Eaters in an assault on Hogwarts, but the Hogwarts faculty and students unleashed a barrage of Poké Balls—wondrous creatures unknown to this world appeared, all meticulously replicated by Allen through his collected random Animagus data and Transfiguration. They looked harmless, adorable, seemingly without aggression.

But as soon as combat began, these wondrous creatures revealed their ferocity.

Voldemort’s Death Eater army was driven back by the Pokémon army; more and more Death Eaters fled the scene...

Voldemort refused to accept defeat and tried to turn the tide with his own power—but against Allen, who had mastered the ultimate secret of magic, he was nothing but a paper tiger.

In the end, it was Jigglypuff, controlled by Allen, delivered the final blow—and the defeated Voldemort and his Horcruxes were sealed away forever by Allen.

The wizarding world returned to peace.
