In Dumbledore's office, both the director and the portraits of the other headmasters were discussing the possible locations of the Horcruxes, but at the moment, Dumbledore was only interested in Marvolo Gaunt's ring.

Dumbledore recalled visiting the Gaunt house; he found nothing despite searching meticulously, as the house's defenses remained active. The house showed signs of fire damage, yet there was no trace of magic.

He concluded that someone must have entered the house and taken the ring, but who? Tom, or was it someone else?

After hours of fruitless searching, he decided to return to Hogwarts.

As he pondered other possibilities, Snape entered his office.

Snape: Albus, I investigated, but I found no information or trace of Lupin.

Dumbledore: That's not good. Sirius is becoming desperate. I fear he might do something impulsive.

Snape: That dog will only put himself in danger. If there's no sign of Lupin, he's likely dead.

Dumbledore: Do you really think so?

Snape: At this point, they've probably extracted all the information from him. They likely killed him and hid the body somewhere.

Dumbledore: Anything else?

Snape: No, just the ongoing attacks on Muggles and wizards, but the Dark Lord is planning something.

Dumbledore: How do you know?

Snape: Before, he merely gave orders, but now he's constantly on the move, changing bases. He calls us to places we can't identify. I fear he's planning something big, and with each passing day, more followers are joining him.

Dumbledore: You're right. Tom is cautious. He has learned from his mistakes, making him more dangerous.

At Grimmauld Place, everyone was having breakfast while the adults read the Daily Prophet, where they saw a new article featuring a photo of Harry.

HARRY POTTER: IS HE THE CHOSEN ONE?

The rumors continue regarding recent mysterious events at the Ministry of Magic, during which He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named was sighted once again.

"We can't comment, don't ask me anything," said a flustered obliviator who refused to give his name when he left the Ministry last night.

Still, ministerial sources confirm that the focus of the disturbance was the famous Room of Prophecy.

Although official spokespersons continue to refuse to even confirm the existence of such a room, an increasing number of people in the wizarding community believe that the Death Eaters, currently serving time in Azkaban for invasion and attempted theft, tried to seize the prophecy, the contents of which are unknown. However, it is openly speculated that it must concern Harry Potter, the only person known to have survived the Killing Curse, who is said to have been at the Ministry that night. Some dare to call Potter "The Chosen One," believing the prophecy names him as the only one who can rid us of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.

The current whereabouts of the prophecy, if it exists, is unknown.

Everyone present looked at Harry, unsure of what to say, and returned to their breakfast to avoid addressing the topic.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione went to the attic to continue their training, but Ron and Hermione wanted to talk about the prophecy. With a sigh, Harry decided to tell them.

Harry: The Prophet is right—he said, looking at them. Hermione appeared frightened, and Ron was awestruck. —That glass sphere that was destroyed wasn't the only record of the prophecy. I saw it in Dumbledore's office. He heard the prophecy for the first time, so he can tell me about it. —He took a deep breath. —According to the prophecy, I am the one who has the power to destroy Voldemort... it said that neither of us can live while the other survives.

Hermione: I figured you knew. When you were in Dumbledore's office, I assumed he would tell you something, since you were the only one he asked to stay.

Ron: And what else did he say?

Harry: He said he would give me private lessons.

Hermione: That's amazing! Private lessons with Dumbledore. He'll teach you advanced magic, powerful counter-curses, or strong spells.

Sirius entered the attic and said that the Hogwarts letters had arrived. Everyone would go to Diagon Alley tomorrow, and there would be no training today.

At Malfoy Manor, the air was calm. Voldemort had moved to another mansion. Lucius was quite tired of being humiliated by the other Death Eaters and by Voldemort himself.

Narcissa and Lucius were arguing.

Narcissa: How can you allow them to continue humiliating you, Lucius?

Lucius: I just have to endure it, my love, until the anger over my failure passes.

Narcissa fell silent.

Lucius: You'll see, when the anger passes, I will return to being your loyal follower, and we will be rewarded. This humiliation will ultimately be worth it.

Narcissa didn't believe her husband's words, as her sister Bellatrix spoke of how he was humiliated by the other Death Eaters. He was punished by Voldemort and even by Bellatrix.

Narcissa told herself that she needed to be strong to support her husband and protect her son. Now they needed to prepare to go to Diagon Alley tomorrow.

Winky delivered the Hogwarts letter to the emo. Along with the supply list, there was an additional letter with an emblem.

Winky congratulated him, knowing the meaning of the emblem. Sasuke looked at the emblem for a moment and then wrote a letter declining the prefect position.

Sasuke: Winky, I'll be busy tomorrow. I want you to buy the supplies on the list and send this letter.

Winky: Yes, master.

The next day, the emo decided to train his Rinnegan techniques to discover his limits. He activated the Mangekyou Sharingan in his right eye and the Rinnegan in his left.

First, he tried to use Banshou Ten'in on a stone, but it only moved a few centimeters.

Then he tried using Ame-no-Tejikara to swap places, but it didn't work.

Sasuke realized he lacked chakra, so he decided to continue training to increase his strength and chakra reserves.
