Back in New York, Balthazar and Matthew, have arrived at the Chinatown district in the city's downtown. A parade is taking up the middle of the street, with a paper dragon being carried around and dancing to the rhythm of live drum music. Entering the parade on foot, they see Balthazar's conjured cloud hanging over the herbalist's shop. They have found where the Grimhold is.

Balthazar: This is it. I'll get the Grimhold. Keep an eye out for Horvath.

Matthew sighed as Balthazar entered the shop before noticing the curious Chinese couple approaching him.

Matthew: Hi.

Cautiously entering the shop, Balthazar begins to scan things with his ring, oblivious to the presence of a suspicious-looking butterfly that seemingly flies away. He knows he won't find the Grimhold right away, but even if the doll isn't hidden, he cannot afford to let it fall into the wrong hands. Just then, the shop's proprietor, the elderly Chinese woman we saw in Horvath's psychic vision, shows up and greets the Merlinean.

Chinese Woman: Can I help you? Do you have an appointment?

Balthazar: I'm sorry to trouble you. I'm looking for a... Well, it's rather strange. (holding his hands about a foot apart to describe the Grimhold) It's a nesting doll. It's about this big. Angry-looking Chinese gentleman on the front.

Chinese Woman: Nesting doll? (begins to look around the shop intently) Yes, it's possible. I collect so many objects.

Balthazar: (speaks Cantonese upon sensing something off in the proprietor) Your hair is beautiful.

Chinese Woman: (turns around in surprise and wonder) Ah, you speak Mandarin.

Balthazar: Ah.

Balthazar nods before sending the Chinese woman against the glass door with a point-blank air blast, shattering it before confronting her as she morphs into Horvath, who turns out to use her appearance as the template of his magical disguise.

Balthazar: That was Cantonese, Horvath. The Grimhold. Where is it?

Horvath: An old associate of mine speaks impeccable Cantonese. He lived about 200 years ago. Know him? Sun Lok.

Sun Lok materializes from swarms of butterflies behind Balthazar near the shop's window before removing his robe.

He telekinetically gathers all the acupuncture needles in the shop.

Horvath: Of course you do. You locked him inside the Grimhold. (shows Sun Lok's empty Grimhold layer) Whoops. Opened it.

Sun Lok hurls all the needles against Balthazar just as he turns around, prompting the latter to use his coat as a shield against the projectiles. Being magically reinforced, the coat bounces off some of the needles, though the rest managed to stick in albeit not piercing its wearer beneath.

Balthazar returns fire with an air blast, sending Sun Lok crashing out of the window and landing right beside Matthew.

Matthew: Whoa! Are you all right? Looks like...

Matthew sees Sun Lok standing up and turning much taller than him.

Matthew: Uh-oh.

The unsuspecting crowd begins to cheer over Sun Lok's stunt.

Matthew: Yay! I'm like one of them.

Balthazar: (leans out the window) Matt?

Matthew and Sun Lok turn back to the window where Balthazar is.

Balthazar: You should run.

Matthew: [gulps nervously]

Matthew flees straight towards the paper dragon's direction. Sun Lok gestures his clawed fingers on the dragon emblazoned on his metal belt, bringing it to life and discreetly forming a tether between it and the paper dragon. Gleaming scales begin to form around the paper dragon as it turns into an actual living, fire-breathing beast it modeled after.

Unnamed Paper Dragon Dancer: (speaks in Cantonese as he and his fellow dancers are being assimilated by the dragon to form legs for moving with) This thing's getting heavy!

Matthew accidentally bumped into a Chinese pedestrian while fleeing.

Matthew: Sorry. Sorry. I'm sorry.

The pedestrian flees instead of giving a proper response for his apology which prompts him to turn around and see why: Sun Lok's newly formed dragon roars on his face, finally inciting the panic among the confused crowd.

Balthazar conjures a cloud of confetti out of a handful of ones in his hand, covering the entire scene so the public won't see too much magic and thus preventing the panic from further spreading. Sun Lok however, managed to spot the fleeing twelve-year-old entering a nearby barber shop and directed his dragon towards him, allowing his beast to continue the chase.

Turning back into the shop, he finds Horvath had seemingly fled the scene, apparently through one of two doorways with beaded curtains as one of them is visibly swaying, as though it had been disturbed recently. The Merlinean goes after it, seemingly unaware of the diversion Horvath made to ambush him.

Unfortunately for the former Merlinean, the plan backfires as the beads from the curtain near his hiding spot snake around his neck, strangling him and pulling him towards Balthazar.

Balthazar: Be still.

Balthazar drew the rest of the beads to restrain his former comrade, stripped him of his cane, and retook the Grimhold from his coat before jumping out of the window Sun Lok crashed through earlier, much to Horvath's frustration.

Matthew screams as he dashes for the fire escape on the other side of the nearby window on the second floor. With Sun Lok's dragon hot on his trail, he scans the street in panic.

Matthew: Balthazar!

Matthew sees Sun Lok dispel the surrounding confetti cloud, prompting him to aim his ring at the Asian Morganian knowing that he's controlling the beast.

Sun Lok smirks in amusement at Matthew's inability to cast magic against him despite his efforts.

Matthew: Oh, God. Come on.

Balthazar reveals himself among the confetti cloud.

Balthazar: You skipped the first step! Clear your mind!

Matthew: (nods) Skipped the first step.

Matthew was interrupted by the dragon's fiery blast that he barely avoided.

Matthew: Clear my mind?! Are you insane?!

Balthazar thinks for a moment, then holds up two pinched fingers to say "a little" much to his dismay.

Matthew: Little bit.

Sun Lok having enough toying with Matthew, gestures for the dragon to burst out of the building, and dangerously knocks a part of the fire escape which Balthazar immediately transmutes into more confetti clouds.

Matthew: Oh, man!

Sun Lok gestures the dragon emblem on his belt to crawl into his skin, guiding the beast as it struggles to climb for its prey.

Matthew calms himself so he can focus on the very gift he initially rejected while his ring still aimed at Sun Lok.

Balthazar: (sees what Matthew is doing) This is it. Clear your mind. Believe.

Matthew successfully conjured a fireball that struck the tail of an animated dragon emblem on Sun Lok's belt despite the knockback from his magic, setting both the belt and the beast it linked with aflame.

Not taking any chances, Balthazar hurls a more powerful fireball against Sun Lok, melting his belt and further damaging his monstrous dragon. The helpless Asian Morganian is only able to brace himself as his burning, out-of-control beast falls on top of him and explodes into a fiery explosion, killing its master and freeing all of the unfortunate dragon dancers who had been assimilated into its form. As the bewildered dragon dancers looked around in confusion, Balthazar looked up at Matthew who exclaimed excitedly over the success of his spell.

Matthew: Yeah!

Balthazar examines the Grimhold, which is now only comprised of two layers.

Matthew: Go Team Magical Stuff!

Matthew excitedly exiting the building to see Balthazar on the streets.

Matthew: Did you see that? Did you see what I just did?

Horvath looks out of the window after freeing himself only to be shocked by the sight of Matthew with the Dragon Ring at hand.

Horvath: It can't be.

Sirens echo throughout the street as two police cars arrived at the scene. Knowing that they must cover up the incident, Balthazar and Matthew approach the cops, all while the former magically disguise their appearance into police officer versions of themselves when no one is looking, complete with convincing-looking uniforms and mustaches. Their transformed appearance soon caught the attention of one of the officers who immediately inquired them about the situation.

Unnamed Officer: Hey, what do you get? Did you see what happened here?

Officer!Balthazar: You know what? Bottle rocket meets paper dragon in this Asian festival.

Matthew reaches for his mustache as Balthazar speaks.

Officer! Balthazar: Lit it up like a birthday cake.

Unnamed Officer: We got swamped with calls saying there was a real dragon.

Officer!Balthazar: (laughs) Between you and me, Cap, I think some of these folks were "hitting the sake pretty hard".

Officer!Matthew: (hastily corrects Officer! Balthazar's account) Um, sake's Japanese, actually.

Unnamed Officer: (an uneasy beat later) Carry on.

Officer!Balthazar: (as he and Matthew left the officers on their business) "Sake's Japanese"?

Officer!Dave: (insists) Well, it is.

Officer!Balthazar: (sighed) I was in character.

Officer!Matthew: (realizing that was not necessarily an error) Oh, right.

They enter the Phantom after dispelling the disguise.

Matthew: Ok, we got the Grimhold, now what?

Balthazar: We'll need a place to work. Somewhere under Horvath's radar.

Matthew: We're going to Hogwarts aren't we?

Balthazar: Yep. Let's get you back home, so you can pack your stuff, and get to Hogwarts.

Matthew: Okay, and my parents are going to have a lot to talk about what happened today.

Balthazar: I'll cover you.

Matthew: Thank you.

After they returned to the Stutler Residence, Balthazar covered his apprentice's parents. Telling them about what happened today, Matthew packed up all his clothes and science and math books. Then, he sees two lights through the window in his room. The mysterious object turned out to be a flying magic car.

Matthew: What the, you don't see that every day.

Matthew sees three familiar faces in the car.

Matthew: Wait, is that...?

Ron: Hey, Matthew!

Matthew: Ron, Fred, George! What are you guys doing here?

Fred: We came to pick you up.

George: And we're going to rescue Harry. Come on.

Matthew looks back at his room before looking at them.

Matthew: Any room in the car?

Ron: Yes. There's plenty of room in the truck. Come on.

Matthew puts his school trunks in the trunk. Matthew sees Tank barking as he pets his Corgi puppy.

Matthew: I'll be home later, Tank, be a good boy while I'm gone.

Tank bites Matthew's pants leg and tugs it.

Matthew: I know you want me to stay, but I have to go!

Tank barks at Matthew, trying to tell him something.

Matthew: I'll be back, Tank!

Ron: I think he wants to come with you, Matt.

Matthew: I mean... It's a world of magic that might be risky for him, he'll need to stay by my side.

Emilie: [downstairs] Matthew, bring Tank with you in case you feel alone!

Matthew: Or maybe Mom wants me to keep an eye on him so he won't be so desperate. I will Mom! [Looks at Tank] Looks like you're coming with us.

Tanks barks happily as Matthew puts his pet Corgi puppy in the dog cage.

Matthew: Alright, let's go.

He hops in the car as it starts to drive off. Later that evening, as Harry is asleep in bed, he hears what sounds like a car engine outside. Waking up and putting on his glasses, he gets out of bed and walks to the window. Looking out the window, he sees a strange object moving through the sky.

As he looks, the object appears to be a shooting star, before turning into two beams of light. A turquoise Ford Anglia car flies to Harry's bedroom window, then turns to the right as Harry and Hedwig silently watch. In the Ford Anglia is Ron, accompanied by Matthew and his older twins, Fred and George.

Ron: [looking at Harry through the bars on his window] Hiya, Harry.

Harry: [surprised to see his friends] Ron, Matthew, Fred, George, what are you all doing here?

Ron: Rescuing you, of course. Now, come on. Get your trunk!

Eventually, Harry got dressed, packed his Hogwarts trunk with some clothes, his books, pajamas, uniforms, and all other necessities, shut it closed, and locked it.

Ron: [putting a hook at the bars on Harry's window.

Ron: You'd better stand back.

Harry steps back as Ron turns to the twin in the driver's seat.

Ron: Let's go!

The car pulls the bars on Harry's window off. SMASH!

Petunia and Vernon wake up.

Petunia: Oh!

Vernon: Now, what the hell's he doing?

Harry picks up his trunk and makes for the window, where the car's trunk is open for it.

Vernon: Potter!

Dudley: [Also awake and on the landing] Dad! What's going on!?

Harry puts his trunk in the car.

George: Go, go, go, go!

Dudley: Dad, hurry up!

Vernon unlocked the locks on the door of Harry's bedroom.

Harry picks up Hedwig's cage.

Ron: Come on.

Fred: Come on.

Ron: Come on, Harry! Hurry up!

Matthew: Come on!

Harry quickly heads to the car as Matthew helps him up. Vernon unlocks Harry's door and opens it as Harry is about to climb out and into the car.

Vernon: Petunia, he's escaping!

He grabs Harry's ankle.

Vernon: Gotcha!

Harry: Aah!

Dudley: Get him, Dad!

Harry: Aah!

Ron: [Seizes Harry's waist.] I've got you, Harry!

Matthew: [grabs Harry's arm] Hang on!

Vernon: Come here!

Harry struggles to get out of Vernon's grip.

Harry: Let go of me!

Vernon: Oh no, boy! You and that bloody pigeon aren't going anywhere!

Harry: Get off!

Matthew: Drive!

Fred: Right.

George: Right!

Vernon: No! No! No! No! Aaaah!

Vernon falls from the window and lands in the garden.

Dudley: Dad!

Vernon: Oh... Damn.

He stumbles out of the garden. The car flies away.

Ron: By the way, Harry, Happy Birthday!
