Chapter Summaries

Vizet awoke in the ruins of a Dark Wizard’s laboratory, where his predecessor’s Obscurus threatened to consume his mind. After a magical notebook taught him a meditation method that could control the force, Wizards surrounded him to destroy him, and Dumbledore appeared just before they attacked.

• Vizet recovered memories of his predecessor’s abuse, the Obscurus eruption, and the Dark Wizard’s death, then realized he had transmigrated into the Harry Potter world.

• Hagrid explained that the Runespoor eggs were compensation for Vizet and assured him that no one would attack him again.
• A potioneer offered five hundred Galleons for the eggs after inspecting Newt Scamander's certification, and Hagrid asked him to deduct the cost of Vizet's Potion Ingredients.

• Dumbledore reflected that he would not repeat his past mistake with Ariana.

• Vizet recalled a book about magic in a Wizard’s home, prompting Ollivander to retrieve a silver-blue box with an emblem Vizet recognized from the Wizard Combat Guide.
