With the war now admitted in public, the headmaster starts taking the boy down into borrowed memories of a gifted orphan who passed through the same school fifty years before, hunting for how he made himself what he is. A second-hand potions book scribbled over by its previous owner turns the boy overnight into the best in a class he was always poor at. The sixth was British Book Awards Book of the Year.
