Explain the overall setting

The title of the fourth volume is "Harry Potter and the Moment". This is a pun. The Moment refers to both the small device invented by the Ministry of Magic (translated here as Chronos Moment) and the space-time that finally fell into stasis (translated here as that moment), which is the moment the TARDIS exploded.

In fact, some well-informed readers can easily recognize that the writing logic and layout of this volume are completed on the basis of the original fourth volume, stitched with the Doctor Who movie "The Day of the Doctor". From the first glance that Barty Jr. and the Tenth Doctor used the same actor (David Tennant), the elements that needed to be stitched in this volume were determined, and then appropriate adjustments could be made according to the content arranged in the outline.

In this volume, the plan of the Ministry of Magic (Scrimgeour and Barty Sr.) is: restart the Triwizard Tournament, use Rita to build momentum for Harry, induce Voldemort to make a move (if Voldemort doesn't make a move, then Harry will gain huge prestige, which is more convenient for subsequent political encirclement and suppression of Voldemort), and then Harry, the Doctor, and Deng Buliduo discuss a way to solve Voldemort.

Voldemort already knew this plan, but he didn't intend to kill Harry (because he already knew Harry was a Horcrux). He laid out three lines. One was Rodolphus, who had been buried long ago, going to Europe to collect Acolytes for his own use (he went everywhere to promote that Grindelwald was the first Dark Lord, which led many people to accept this statement, so Harry and Krum were always chatting across servers, saying Dark Lord in their mouths, but thinking of different people in their hearts), and tried to persuade or control Grindelwald to help (but Grindelwald would rather die than hurt Deng Buliduo). The second line was using Antonin to organize a team to put pressure on Hogwarts and support Snape, and by the way, use this excuse to consume Lucius's strength (merit high enough to shake the master), but because Sirius intervened, Antonin didn't pull many people, and Sirius also signaled his subordinates to act according to circumstances and not die in vain, so the Battle of Hogwarts didn't give any pressure at all. The third line was his own feigned attack on Harry, actually confronting Deng Buliduo. Voldemort's assumption was that he got a powerful new wand, Deng Buliduo needed to be distracted to protect Harry, Deng Buliduo might be concerned about Hogwarts, and if lucky, Grindelwald would help. Combining so many factors, the advantage was great, and even if it failed, he could let his subordinates resurrect him with Horcruxes. But after stasis, the main soul didn't die, and the Horcruxes couldn't resurrect. According to Voldemort's assumption, he should have controlled the overall situation after killing Deng Buliduo, leaving Harry to jump around to relieve boredom, but now it has become like this. It can be said that Voldemort's three lines all failed.

The plans of Deng Buliduo and the Doctors have been repeatedly explained in the text, so I won't repeat them here.

Yanayev's plan is also divided into two lines, and before stating his plan, it is necessary to supplement his situation. After rebirth, Yanayev knew well that the current Soviet Union needed major reforms, but he had almost no power to use. Those who supported him in power were all vested interest groups. Once reformed, he would inevitably step down. So Yanayev's idea was not to mention reform for the time being, first help the Soviet Union continue, and then start to move against the Wizarding World, launching two major purges to ensure that all wizards were his own people, and then under the name of magic cooperation in combat, send these people down to the army, gradually mastering the army, so that he could truly start to move against the inside. Any hot war is a cover. What is important is that he needs an excuse to intervene in the army and a group of people who can help him master the army (that is, wizards).

Yanayev's experiences and plans will only be expressed in the way of burying dark lines + summary at the end of the volume, because I am worried that the detailed writing in the main text will be harmonized.

In this volume, Yanayev's first line is Barty Jr. and his team. Their mission was successfully completed. Not only did they eliminate Britain's two most powerful wizards, but they also blew up the TARDIS that the Department of Mysteries had spent a lot of money to make, burying all the cutting-edge forces of the Ministry of Magic (the backbone force of the Auror Office had already been eliminated by Voldemort's hand). Now the British Wizarding World only has two forces, the Death Eaters and the Order of the Phoenix, which will fight easily. And Harry Potter, the winner in the original history, had long been instilled with pro-Soviet ideas. In addition, blowing up space-time to prevent Death from interfering with his plan also prevented the appearance of any other time travelers or rebirths. It can be said that this explosion made a lot of money.

The second line is Vaskov and Renata, used to attract the attention of the White House. Vaskov knows part of the inside story, but Renata doesn't know at all, thinking she is really here to participate in the competition to win glory for the country. The White House noticed the competition between Renata and Harry and learned about the Ministry of Magic's plan, suspecting that the Soviet Union wanted to suppress contradictions (if Harry performed poorly or was overshadowed, Voldemort would lose the reason to make a move), so they decided to go against the Soviet Union for the time being without knowing the specific strategy, and sent someone to help Harry. Undoubtedly, Tang Tang Nade was the best candidate (with a foundation of trust, many ghost ideas, and a strong request from himself).

Tang Tang Nade brought his confidant Elena to participate in the competition. He had no plan, taking one step at a time. The tone was to soak Hermione and help Harry by the way. If Ron and Hermione had some signs, he would send Elena to seduce Ron fiercely. Instead, his goals were basically all achieved.

Ge Xuan and Yanayev reached a deal. He actually didn't like Donald much, nor did he like Yanayev much (the first time traveler would definitely not like the later ones. Donald is nominally a fellow from the same era, but now Ge Xuan himself is almost living to the era before crossing), and Zhang Qiu (he has feelings for Zhang Qiu, after all, he raised her himself) was various time-traveling and seeking death last year, which also made him panic. He agreed to blow up the river of time and provided some theoretical support, mainly to prevent Zhang Qiu from continuing to rely on time travel to seek death, and secondarily to let her use the Orthodox Descent of the Divine Alliance Talisman to pick up leaks and collect a large amount of time energy to seal it. Ge Xuan believed that he would have a chance to use this energy in the future.

Explaining Ge Xuan's true background and his experiences here might be too long, and a volume of side stories will be opened later.

Personally, I think the first four volumes as a whole are the highest quality part of this book. Readers who are dissatisfied with the subsequent plot can unilaterally announce that the book ends here. Moreover, Rowling's way of burying foreshadowing in the original work is very clever. When I reread the original work, I often feel very cordial about some bridges and applaud them. In the writing of this book, I have tried my best to learn from this method. I recommend readers to reread volumes 1-4 while waiting for subsequent updates, hoping to bring a second completely different reading experience.

Another reason for the author's lack of confidence in the subsequent plot is: Voldemort has already exited the stage. Although it is a very lazy thing for fan fiction to directly set Voldemort as the final boss, it must be said that Voldemort as a boss is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Yanayev (or Ge Xuan) and Harry are just different in stance, and they need to make various compromises from time to time, and may not be able to write the refreshing feeling of confrontation between good and evil.

Here, after learning about Yanayev's plan, Harry faces three problems. The first is that the Death Eaters must be fought, but not for too long or too fiercely; the second is that Britain lacks powerful wizards who can deter foreign countries; the last is that after the upper limit is lifted, foreign wizards are progressing, while Britain still has to fight.

The subsequent fifth volume will be relatively relaxed and daily, telling how Harry happily dealt with the Death Eaters while going to school. (Contrary to the oppressive atmosphere of the original work)

The sixth volume will be handed over to book friends to organize, telling how Harry (or Snape) became a powerful enough wizard to replace Deng Buliduo as the deterrent of the British Empire.

The seventh volume will turn to a larger perspective, describing how Harry managed to raise the upper limit of the Wizarding World (because Death, who restricts wizards, is gone), and under the condition of forming his own deterrent, played games with Yanayev (or Ge Xuan) in the Wizarding World (writing about the Muggle World is afraid of being harmonized).

The eighth volume will follow the form of the Fantastic Beasts movie, changing the protagonist to tell that many years later, a wizard successfully completed Harry's goal under Harry's layout.
