Sirius Black sneaked to the Quidditch Pitch to watch Harry play, but fled when Dementors arrived. After seeing Dumbledore’s Patronus drive them away, Sirius encountered a discarded Dementor’s cloak in the Forbidden Forest and recalled a Prophet report about magic he had used to erase a Dementor.

Snape remembered how Lily’s Doe Patronus had inspired him to master the Patronus Charm, whose own form matched hers. In the present, he discussed Vizet’s unfinished Patronus Charm Healing Technique, then dismissed Vizet’s completed Wolfsbane Potion assignment and its improved formula.

• Snape recalled that his Patronus was a Doe like Lily’s and that he had developed the charm through complex emotions rather than happiness.
• Vizet told Snape he wanted to simplify and refine the Patronus Charm Healing Technique, which addressed damage to the soul.
• Snape questioned whether ordinary wizards could use the technique, then approved Vizet’s idea to develop different healing approaches for different situations.
• Vizet reminded Snape that he had completed the assigned improvement to the Wolfsbane Potion’s Second Part Formula.
• Snape said the assignment was not important enough to warrant much effort, while Vizet believed his formula would make the potion taste exceptionally awful.

Vizet and Snape refined a healing spell while Vizet brewed an improved Wolfsbane Potion for Lupin. Vizet delivered the potion, but Lupin recoiled from its smell and drank Vizet’s antidote, whose effects remained unknown.

• Snape and Vizet tested a revised incantation for the Patronus Charm Healing Technique, and Vizet shared suggestions from McGonagall and Flitwick.
• Vizet brewed his improved Wolfsbane Potion, and Snape praised the result before sending him to deliver it to Lupin.
• Vizet stopped at the Mystic Corridor to collect a prepared antidote, then brought the improved potion to Lupin’s office.
• Lupin refused the antidote at first, but the potion’s smell made him retch until Vizet swept it out the window.
• Lupin asked about the antidote’s taste, felt reassured by Vizet’s description, and drank it in one gulp.

• Lupin praised Vizet’s Potions ability and recalled Snape mastering Golpalott’s Third Law at school.
• Lupin remembered Lily neutralizing a poison with a single Bezoar and saying that sometimes a little more or a little less was fine.
• Vizet pondered Lily’s words and filled his notebook with ideas for the Patronus Charm Healing Technique.

Vizet studied Lupin’s response to the Improved Wolfsbane Potion and developed a new idea for the Patronus Charm Healing Technique. Lupin fainted after tasting a leftover drop, and Vizet went to tell Snape about his new idea.

• Lupin told Vizet that the Wolfsbane Potion spared him from pain and self-inflicted injuries after the full moon, though he remained motionless in darkness throughout the night.

• Snape confirmed that Vizet’s improved formula seemed sound, and Vizet shared that he had a new idea for the Patronus Charm Healing Technique.

Vizet and Snape redesigned the Patronus Charm Healing Technique by removing unnecessary complexity and hiding the Patronus Charm within a broader healing method. After completing their revisions, Vizet was pushed toward the Otherworld for the third time.

• Vizet explained to Snape that adding more spells and principles had made the healing technique unnecessarily complicated, and Lupin’s advice inspired him to simplify it.
• Snape and Vizet decided to use subtraction, removing the need for Golpalott’s Third Law and making the Patronus Charm a hidden part of the healing method.
• Vizet proposed that the spell should reach a patient’s soul without relying on happiness, since souls were unique but shared qualities that could resonate with others.
• Snape and Vizet used Snape’s knowledge of Sectumsempra and Serena Pendragon’s book on Runes to revise the technique while carefully avoiding dangerous soul-related knowledge.
• After many revisions, Vizet and Snape completed the technique, and Vizet felt himself being propelled toward the Otherworld for the third time.

Vizet and Snape tested the newly named Soul Healing Art on a toad injured by the Cruciatus Curse. Vizet stitched up its soul with a silver thread, and Snape prepared to demonstrate another use of the spell.

• Vizet explored the Otherworld and examined Snape’s Levicorpus, recognizing the runes shared by it and Liberacorpus.

• Snape warned Vizet that patent approval could take at least four years and suggested asking Dumbledore for help.
• Snape told Vizet not to include his name on the patent application, and Vizet agreed before leaving the office.
• Snape summoned a Doe Patronus that took Lily's form, then used it to draw the Dark Mark out of his arm.
• Snape declared the Dark Mark completely removed and called it the first step against Voldemort.

Vizet discussed his unusual Otherworld with Dumbledore, who agreed to help with his Soul Healing Art patent and revealed that a disguised Death Eater had entered the duelling competition. Later, Luna called Vizet one-of-a-kind, and Firenze praised the Marsh Mallow he brought.

• Vizet learned that the Wizard Combat Guide had added the Ancient Magic: Suspension Falling Curse, which combined Levicorpus and Liberacorpus.
• Vizet gave Dumbledore his Soul Healing Art research and Anti-Black Whistles, and Dumbledore offered help with the patent through his St. Mungo's contacts.
• Dumbledore told Vizet that someone had assumed a wizard's identity using Polyjuice Potion and entered the All-England Wizard Duelling Competition, likely seeking its final prize.
• Vizet asked Dumbledore about other wizards' Otherworlds and learned they included vineyards, meadows, deserts, and forests, while his star river had no foothold.
• Dumbledore privately concluded that Vizet's Otherworld needed to take root further.
• Vizet and Luna visited the Forbidden Forest, where Firenze praised the quality of Vizet's Marsh Mallow.

Firenze explained the Centaurs’ estrangement from wizards and recalled a Forest Giant found dead among trampled Mandrakes. Vizet and Luna discovered the giant’s remains at the Merlin Trial Ruins, where Vizet scattered Marsh Mallow to activate the altar.

• Firenze told Vizet and Luna that the Statute of Secrecy had damaged relations between wizards and Centaurs, and said Mars shone brighter than ever.
• A mother Unicorn and her golden young Unicorn visited Vizet and Luna, and the young Unicorn gave them two tail hairs that Luna tied to their Wands.
• Firenze led Vizet and Luna to a place where his kin had found a dead Forest Giant, trampled Mandrakes, and human footprints about ten years earlier.
• Vizet cleared snow to reveal a moss-covered skeleton and an altar, and he and Luna recognized the site as the Merlin Trial Ruins.
• Vizet scattered Marsh Mallow over the altar, and emerald points of light gathered at its center before rippling outward.

Vizet, Luna, and Firenze completed the Merlin Trial by defeating the Flame Griffins, and the ruins revealed Godric Gryffindor. Gryffindor awakened and asked why Ravenclaw had appeared again.

• Vizet destroyed the Troll skeleton with Fiendfyre, causing its remains to become fiery creatures.
• A Flame Griffin attacked, but Vizet grounded it and Luna extinguished it with water.
• Vizet and Luna defeated the remaining Flame Griffins while Firenze's arrows proved ineffective.
• The Merlin Trial Ruins transformed into a leafy pavilion, and Vizet and Luna celebrated completing the trial.
• The leaves gathered into Godric Gryffindor, who awakened and asked why Ravenclaw had appeared again.

• Firenze thanked Vizet and accepted his Marsh Mallow before leaving with a promise to help him find an Altar again.
• Godric Gryffindor remarked on Firenze’s friendship with Vizet, then learned that Vizet had also met the Slytherin Headmaster.
• Vizet and Luna identified Godric’s former Ravenclaw student as someone who had encountered a Forest Giant and Mandrakes more than ten years earlier.
• Godric recalled that the Ravenclaw used Mandrakes to defeat the giant and Cat Leopard, but was badly injured in the chaos.
• Godric said he had used Ritual Magic to save the Ravenclaw by combining him with the Cat Leopard, granting him its Innate Magic.
• Vizet asked what would happen if the Ravenclaw never developed his Bloodline Magic.

Vizet and Luna learned how a failed bloodline ritual may have changed a Ravenclaw’s magic, and identified him as Gilderoy Lockhart. After confirming Lockhart still used the Obliviation Charm, Godric Gryffindor offered them one of seven possible combat lessons, and they chose the third ball.

• Godric Gryffindor explained that the Ravenclaw’s restored body and soul could not properly match the Cat Leopard’s blood, leaving him with impaired magic and possibly some Cat Leopard mental abilities.
• Vizet and Luna connected the Ravenclaw’s likely loss of magical ability and expertise with the Obliviation Charm to Gilderoy Lockhart.
• Vizet conjured Lockhart’s likeness, and Godric Gryffindor confirmed that he was the Ravenclaw in question.
• Vizet said Lockhart could still cast magic and was now best at the Obliviation Charm, which Godric recognized as mental magic.
• Godric offered seven leaf balls, one containing a combat lesson, and Vizet and Luna chose the third.

After Vizet and Luna passed Godric Gryffindor’s test, he taught them a movement technique that treated Disapparition as changing their own positions through magic. He expanded the Merlin Trial Ruins and lifted Hogwarts’s Anti-Apparition Charm there so they could practice.

• Godric Gryffindor revealed that Vizet and Luna had passed the test because they had trusted each other and acted without hesitation.
• Vizet explained the three D’s of Apparition, and Godric challenged the idea that witches and wizards needed to occupy a destination through determination.
• Vizet inferred that Disapparition worked like Transfiguration and that splinching resulted from imprecise magical control.
• Godric explained that the technique should focus on changing oneself rather than altering space, which could reduce the sound and traces of Disapparition.
• Godric expanded the Merlin Trial Ruins and temporarily lifted Hogwarts’s Anti-Apparition Charm so Vizet and Luna could practice.

Vizet and Luna practiced Disapparition under Godric Gryffindor’s guidance, and Luna mastered it as Christmas approached. After Vizet completed the Merlin Trial Ruins’ connection to the Starlight Map, he and Luna considered the remaining areas and Sirius Black’s inactivity.

• Godric Gryffindor taught Vizet and Luna the Two 'P' Principles for Disapparition, and they practiced among the Merlin Trial Ruins throughout the week.
• Luna mastered Disapparition as the Christmas holiday drew near, while Vizet continued practicing and became adept at appearing in tight spaces despite Godric Gryffindor’s changing directions.
• Godric Gryffindor praised Vizet’s performance and suggested his quick progress showed he had a talent for flying; Vizet realized Disapparition practice could help them perceive space in a new way.
• Luna reminded Godric Gryffindor that winter had come and the Occamy needed to sleep, and Godric Gryffindor dispersed into Fallen Leaves before the ruins returned to their original state.
• Vizet connected the Merlin Trial Ruins to the Starlight Map and said three areas remained; he and Luna noted that Sirius Black had made no moves, but Vizet said the map would find him as long as he stayed in the Scottish Highlands.

Ravenclaw students learned that Hogwarts Voice had helped inspire better schoolwork and led to lighter holiday assignments, then faced Hufflepuff in the last Quidditch match before Christmas. Vizet scored quickly with remarkable skill, leaving Oliver Wood worried about Ravenclaw’s strength as he considered a secret plan with Fred and George.

• Michael Corner told Ravenclaw students that several grades had received less holiday homework because their work had improved, partly thanks to Hogwarts Voice.
• Anthony Goldstein offered to share the research Vizet had supplied for an essay on wizard protections during the Witch Hunt, and Terry Boot realized his Hogwarts Voice essay could help with his Potions assignment.
• Ravenclaw students headed to their match against Hufflepuff, while they speculated about Ravenclaw’s chances of winning a third consecutive Quidditch House Cup.
• Cho Chang and Cedric Diggory pursued the Golden Snitch as two Bludgers charged Vizet, but Vizet dodged them and scored Ravenclaw’s first goal.
• Oliver Wood praised Vizet’s exceptional Chaser skills, and George quietly asked Fred whether they should tell Wood about something.
