As the new term brought exam anxiety to Hogwarts, Vizet found Penelope distressed over Potions and offered to help her understand Snape’s advice on brewing an Invigoration Potion.

• Vizet returned to the Ravenclaw Common Room and found Penelope crying over her Intermediate Potions Making textbook.
• Vizet reassured Penelope that Snape could be understood despite his harsh manner, and she asked him about two brewing steps for an Invigoration Potion.

• Vizet reached the Hog's Head and met Aberforth in the side room after passing the hostile customers in the bar.

Vizet’s resistance to Aberforth’s Legilimency scroll failed when it showed him the Ancient Castle burning, triggering his Obscurus and causing him to attack Aberforth. After Vizet regained control, Aberforth revealed that Voldemort had targeted him and began teaching him by asking what it meant to be a wizard and use magic.

• Aberforth tested Vizet with a Legilimency scroll, and its vision of the Ancient Castle on fire provoked Vizet’s Obscurus into binding and hurling Aberforth into a wall.

• Vizet used Guardian Meditation to draw the black-red mist back into his Obscurus Core as Aberforth revealed that Credence was his son.
• Aberforth repaired the side hall, calmed the frightened guests, and resumed Vizet’s lesson by asking what a wizard and magic were.
• Vizet reasoned that he could use magic because he was a wizard, just as he could drink water because he was a person.
