Chapter Summaries

Vizet revealed that Mr. Filch could cast the Directional Spell through his bond with Mrs. Norris, giving the Squib a way to perform magic. The chapter ended with Vizet suggesting that Filch might eventually learn other spells.

• Harry asked Vizet to practice dueling, while Draco and Cedric reacted in shock when they learned that Mr. Filch could cast a spell.
• Mr. Filch used his Fake Wand to cast the Directional Spell, first pointing north and then toward his office.
• Vizet asked Mr. Filch to cast the spell with a branch, and the branch pointed north and then toward the Great Hall.
• Vizet explained that Mrs. Norris served as Filch's wand through their successful Dependence Connection Ritual, and that her faint Kneazle heritage granted the talent for finding directions.
• Vizet said Filch could only cast the Directional Spell for now, but that learning one spell meant he could learn others.

Vizet explained how Squibs could cast spells and potentially become Wizards, but refused to let Filch test a dangerous formula. Later, he found Harry suffering from his scar and discovered a dark green connection extending from it, leading him to suspect Voldemort had left a Soul Fragment inside Harry.

• Draco asked Vizet about the cost of the Dependence Connection Ritual, and Vizet explained its conditions and the far greater expense of making a Squib a Wizard.
• Filch eagerly offered to buy the materials and test Vizet's formula, but Vizet refused because it was still dangerous and reminded Filch to consider Mrs. Norris.
• Dumbledore arrived with Eggnog Biscuits and reminded Filch that Hogwarts needed his help as the Third Task's contents were due to be announced.
• Vizet found Harry clutching his scar in agony, used Silent Wound to ease his distress, and carried him with a Blood Oath Knight.
• Vizet checked the Marauder's Map and found no sign of Voldemort nearby, then used Magic Eye and the Soul Stone Monocle to spot a dark green thread extending from Harry's scar.
• Vizet suspected that Harry's scar contained a Soul Fragment of Voldemort and reasoned that Voldemort's unstable soul and the Killing Curse could explain their connection.

Vizet deduced that a fragment of Voldemort's soul had attached itself to Harry's scar, making Harry a Horcrux-like vessel, and brought the sleeping Harry to Dumbledore. Dumbledore confirmed he had suspected the soul fragment and discussed how Voldemort's resurrection and Horcruxes might fit into his plan.

• Vizet concluded that Lily's protection had caused Voldemort's unstable soul to shed a fragment, which merged with Harry and gave him access to Parseltongue.
• Vizet realized Harry could function as a Horcrux and warned that Voldemort might survive even if the known Horcruxes were destroyed, so he sought Dumbledore's help.
• Dumbledore met Vizet outside his office, sensed Harry's magical pain, and learned that Vizet had used the Silent Wound Spell to soothe him.
• Vizet explained his theory that Voldemort's soul fragment was inside Harry's scar, and Dumbledore admitted he had already guessed this.
• Vizet asked whether Voldemort had completed his resurrection and whether Dumbledore planned to make him destroy his own soul fragment or a Horcrux; Dumbledore said the idea came after Vizet revealed Voldemort had made multiple Horcruxes.

• Dumbledore used a silver instrument to produce two distinct snakes from smoke, then gave Harry tea and asked what he had seen.
• Harry recalled Voldemort rising from a cauldron while a snake assisted him and heard the words spoken during the resurrection.
• Harry told Dumbledore that Voldemort had looked like Tom Riddle rather than the snake-faced figure Dumbledore conjured.
• Dumbledore and Vizet assured Harry that they believed him, and Harry asked why he had experienced the resurrection as if he were Voldemort.

Dumbledore explained to Harry that a prophecy had connected him and Voldemort, while Vizet helped Harry see that love and protection were powers Voldemort lacked. The chapter ended with Dumbledore asking Harry to imagine how he would have regarded Voldemort if the prophecy had never existed.

• Dumbledore told Harry that a prophecy had connected him and Voldemort, and Harry demanded to know what it meant for him and his parents.

• Dumbledore reminded Harry that he had resisted the Mirror of Erised and asked him to imagine how he would have viewed Voldemort without the prophecy.

• After Harry left to rest, Dumbledore told Vizet he had considered asking Snape to teach Harry but trusted Vizet to choose a suitable approach.

Vizet explained to Dumbledore how he created the Silent Wound Spell and Mass Hypnosis Spell by turning widely believed phrases into magic through Consensus Magic. Inspired by The Fountain of Fair Fortune, he hoped to make the spells easy for other wizards to learn so their magic could grow.

• Vizet showed Dumbledore his notes and explained that the Silent Wound Spell eased pain while the Mass Hypnosis Spell could trigger drowsiness.
• Dilys Derwent asked about the spells’ healing effects, and Vizet said the Silent Wound Spell could relieve even pain related to the soul.
• Dilys offered to arrange experiments with Healers at St. Mungo’s for Vizet’s Mass Hypnosis Spell patent application, and Vizet accepted.
• Vizet told Dumbledore that Luna’s retelling of The Fountain of Fair Fortune had inspired his approach to Consensus Magic.
• Vizet explained that the Fountain’s reputation and ritual conditions had given it magic, and Dumbledore connected that idea to Vizet’s spells.
• Vizet said he wanted to make the spells widely accessible so other wizards could use them and help develop their potential.

• Vizet explained that a book might challenge assumptions about the Levitation Charm and House-elves, and influence how wizards and Muggles viewed each other.
• Dumbledore cautioned Vizet about the Statute of Secrecy, and Vizet argued that Muggles had become more accepting of magic through science.

• Vizet explained to Dumbledore how Muggle opinion and shared beliefs could influence Consensus Magic, citing chocolate as an example.

• Harry dodged Draco's spell, countered with a Disarming Charm, and caught Draco's Wand.

Harry, Draco, and Cedric practiced dueling against Vizet, who quickly defeated all three with a mix of defensive magic and clever transfiguration. After Vizet returned their wands and freed Harry, they agreed to continue practicing.

• Vizet explained that Occlumency involved controlling thoughts and emotions, using the image of an empty bedroom to illustrate blocking Legilimency.
• Vizet said they could make Occlumency easier to learn by focusing on its protective use.

Vizet devised a way for Harry, Draco, and Cedric to learn Occlumency by filling their minds with happy memories and drawing on the Patronus Charm. To give them practice, he taught them Veritas Revelare, a spell he had created that made a person tell the truth once.

• Harry said his fear that Voldemort would mislead him had been giving him nightly nightmares and made him anxious to master Occlumency.
• Draco suggested using conviction and emotions, like light, to fill Occlumency’s mental “room,” and Harry connected the idea to the Patronus Charm.

• Old Barty Crouch handed the Champions protective Metal Tags and explained that their magic would activate only when their lives were in mortal danger.
