An Imperfect Love was the name given to an event of the Calamity.[1]
Adversaries Event: Gilderoy Lockhart and Slytherin's Basilisk[]
Part I (February 9th - February 16th, 2021)[]
Once again, Harry has no recollection of causing a surge that appears to be made up of his memories. Is he subconsciously manipulating the Calamity? Or is someone else courting the Calamity, just in time for Valentine's Day?[1]
Brilliant Changing Room[]
- "Harry! I'm glad I caught you. We're getting reports of new modified surge behaviour. Have you been manipulating the Calamity again?"
- — Constance Pickering[src]
- "No... At least, not intentionally. There's always the possibility that, like the last surge, I may have unknowingly done so... But I'm still not entirely convinced that's something I'm even capable of."
- — Harry Potter[src]
- "I'm confused. You said it yourself that the last surge was definitely composed of your memories. Considering that this one appears to be centered around Hermione and Ron, doesn't it seem likely that it is too? What other explanation could there possibly be?"
- — Constance Pickering[src]
- "That does seem the logical explanation, doesn't it? Yet I can't help but feel that this isn't as cut and dry as it appears..."
- — Harry Potter[src]
- "Perhaps if we investigate this surge, we'll be able to get a more definitive answer about whether or not you subconsciously created it and, if so, why this keeps happening."
- — Constance Pickering[src]

Brilliant Quidditch Fan Hermione Granger | Despite her relative indifference for Quidditch, Hermione Granger attended Gryffindor Quidditch events to support her friends. This included Ron Weasley's trial for Keeper, where she was rumored to have played a role in his admittance to the team. Though she denied using magic to sabotage Ron's rivals, Hermion was a vocal supporter in the stands, rewriting a derogatory "Weasley is Our King" chant into a rallying cry for the young Keeper. |
| |
Brilliant Quidditch Keeper Ron | Ron Weasley was appointed the Gryffindor Quidditch team's Keeper by Angelina Johnson. Although his Quidditch career had a rocky start, through practice and perseverance, he managed to turn it around and become a proficient player in his own right. This prompted Gryffindor fans to repurpose the derogatory "Weasley is Our King" song into one that sung Ron's praises. |
| |
Crookshanks | Crookshanks was Hermione Granger's pet during her time at Hogwarts. Part cat, part Kneazle, and by all accounts grumpy, he was said to have been uncharacteristically intelligent and cognizant. This is perhaps best evidenced in the role he played in revealing Ron Weasley's pet rat, Scabbers, as Peter Pettigrew in his Animagus form. |
| |
Cormac McLaggen | Cormac McLaggen was a Gryffindor student and an avid Quidditch fan. Though he missed tryouts in his sixth year after eating a pound of Doxy eggs on a bet and was beat out for the Keeper position by Ron Weasley in his seventh year, he eventually took to the pitch during Ron's hospitalization. However, his poor teamwork - which led to Gryffindor's worst and most embarrassing loss ever - resulted in him being permanently benched. |
| |
Lavender Brown | Lavender Brown was a Gryffindor student at Hogwarts. During her sixth year, she became romantically entangled with Ron Weasley. Sadly for Lavender, the relationshio was mostly one-sided, with ron largely dating her to make Hermione Granger jealous. Lavender eventually ended things with Ron after correctly deducing his feelings for Hermione. A member of Dumbledore's Army, she tagically died during the Battle of Hogwarts. |

- "Harry, I did it! I manipulated the Calamity and started this surge. It took longer than I'd hoped to sort the magic out, but I finally did it."
- — Hermione Granger[src]
- "That's brilliant, Hermione! Though I don't know why I'm surprised. If anyone's capable of it, it's you."
- — Harry Potter[src]
- "You were right though - it isn't easy. I thought the Patronus Charm was difficult, but this is on an entirely different level. Still, it was worth the effort. Adversaries prove The Unforgivable are growing stronger. Combatting their influence on the Calamity is only going to get harder. At least now I can help."
- — Hermione Granger[src]
- "You don't know how appreciative I am of that. We have reason to believe multiple members of The Unforgivable can manipulate the Calamity. It'll be good to have another person on our side who can."
- — Harry Potter[src]
- "Though I think I'll try to guide the next wave in a less... personal direction. The Valentine's Day fervor had me convinced that pulling memories of Ron and I's early days was a good idea. But now that it's on display for the whole world... Well, to say it's embarrassing is a bit of an understatement, isn't it?"
- — Hermione Granger[src]
Adversaries Event: Aragog[]
Part II (February 23rd - March 2nd, 2021)[]
When Hermione's surge gets hijacked by The Unforgivable, the team make a startling conclusion about their ability to manipulate the Calamity. What is the cabal trying to say with their surge?[1]
Brilliant Malfoy Manor II[]
- "SOS Task Force agents are reporting my surge has returned, but something's wrong. They're indicating it's become Dark and oppressive, rife with Foundables related to Voldemort and Bellatrix Lestrange... Essentially, the polar opposite of the direction I'd intended to take the surge in."
- — Hermione Granger[src]
- "As if it's become another surge altogether, eh? Say, Harry, do you think this is like when you wrenched control of November's surge away, but in reverse?"
- — Constance Pickering[src]
- "I think that's exactly what's happening here, Constance. The Unforgivable must be trying to guide the Calamity back in their intended direction."
- — Harry Potter[src]
- "I agree. But if they wanted control of the Calamity, why wait until halfway through my surge to seize it? Why not preempt it, like you did?"
- — Hermione Granger[src]
- "Perhaps we'll find some answers hidden inside this troubling surge."
- — Constance Pickering[src]

Brilliant Portrait of Bellatrix Lestrange | Arguably Voldemort's most loyal follower, Bellatrix Lestrange's devotion to the Dark Lord ran deeper than mere allegiance to his cause. Those who had the displeasure of knowing her describe her ruthless obsessive pursuit of her master's love and adoration. Though it's unknown if he reciprocated her feelings, it's rumored that she may have bore him an heir prior to her death. |
| |
Brilliant Portrait of Voldemort | Cold, ruthless and pragmatic, Lord Voldemot was widely believed to be incapable of love. He did, however, at least value Bellatrix Lestrange, as evidenced by his trust in her and the rage he exhibited during the Battle of Hogwarts when he learned of her demise at the hands of Molly Weasley. |
| |
Morsmordre Dark Mark | During the First Wizarding War, Death Eaters would cast this symbol into the sky with Morsmordre spell, whereupon billowing green smoke would form the iconic skull and snake. This warned that an act of aggression had been committed on the premises. The spell is said to have been a creation be Voldemort himself. |
| |
Mass Break Out Azkaban Daily Prophet | This issue of the Daily Prophet from 1996 details the escape of ten Death Eaters from Azkaban prison. Perhaps most notable among them was Bellatrix Lestrange. The article includes quotes from the then Minister for Magic, Cornelius Fudge, who blamed the escape on Sirius Black. Since this time, the Ministry has recanted and corrected these statements. |
| |
Sword of Gryffindor Replica | This replica of the Sword of Gryffindor was put in place by Albus Dumbledore prior to his death. Dumbledore had intended to leave the real sword to Harry Potter in his will, but, correctly predicting that the Ministry would confiscate it, bestowed him this replica instead. Believing it to be the genuine artifact, the replica was moved from Hogwarts to the Lestrange family vault at Gringotts after some members of Dumbledore's Army attempted to recover it. Bellatrix Lestrange then proudly guarded it for her master. |

- "We've managed to stamp out their surge, but The Unforgivable's threat remains. Harry, what are we going to do about their demand to stop interfering with the Calamity?"
- — Hermione Granger[src]
- "I say we ignore their bravado and continue doing everything in our power to stop them from abusing the Calamity. The fact that they reached out to us directly means they're worried. They know we're getting closer to exposing their identities.
If we continue to press them, there's a good chance they'll become increasingly desperate and, in their desperation, get sloppy." - — Harry Potter[src]
- "Or they'll be driven to take more extreme actions to stop us. Let's not forget what they've proven themselves to be capable of. Curse-breakers were able to free Kit Gerrard from the painting, but the Healers at St Mungo's haven't been able to restore any of Kit or the informant's memories."
- — Hermione Granger[src]
- "Don't worry, Hermione. If there's one thing this surge has made me realise, it's that we've faced worse threats before and survived. I'm confident we'll do it again."
- — Harry Potter[src]
