Chapter Summaries

Vizet found himself trapped in a hall filled with Ancient Magic and a mysterious Silver-Blue Light, then improved the Extinguishing Charm to suppress it. The light remained faintly visible inside his darkness, and the trial’s purpose was still unknown.

• Dumbledore found Fawkes beside the Mirror of Erised and learned that Vizet had visited the office before disappearing.
• Vizet awoke in a stone hall and discovered that its carved symbols contained Ancient Magic Power, which he absorbed into Wizard Combat Guide.
• A fountain of Silver-Blue Light appeared in the hall and called to Vizet through his Wand, but he avoided approaching it directly.
• Vizet concluded that Wizard Combat Guide required him to understand a magical subject before helping him improve it, and chose the Extinguishing Charm for his experiment.
• Vizet used Ancient Magic to improve the Extinguishing Charm, creating a large darkness that swallowed most of the Silver-Blue Light.

Vizet fought through an endless swarm of snakes spilling from a Knight Statue and destroyed the statue, triggering a Runespoor to form from the released Silver-Blue Light. He immobilized the Runespoor with Ancient Magic and Devil's Snare, then struck one of its eyes with an Affliction Curse.

• Vizet used Devil's Snare and an Improved Cutting Curse to fight through the snakes and reach the Knight Statue.
• Vizet smashed the Knight Statue, and the Black Bubble absorbed the Silver-Blue Light it released.
• The remaining magic gathered the snakes into a Flesh Aggregate that transformed into a Runespoor.
• Vizet used Guardian Meditation to track the Runespoor, then cast Aresto Momentum and Runespoor Come Here to draw it in.
• Vizet restrained the Runespoor with Devil's Snare Form and fired Die Sick Torment into one of its eyes.

Vizet encountered Salazar Slytherin after defeating the Runespoor and absorbing its Ancient Magic: Shield. Salazar explained Vizet’s role as a Guardian and urged him to learn, grow stronger, and follow his convictions.

• Vizet absorbed the Runespoor’s Ancient Magic, gaining Ancient Magic: Shield, and a statue transformed into Salazar Slytherin.
• Salazar read Vizet’s thoughts and introduced himself as the founder of Slytherin House.
• Vizet asked what it meant to be a Guardian, and Salazar told him to focus on learning and strengthening himself.
• Salazar recalled that a guide had once led him and the other founders, who followed their hearts and established Hogwarts together.
• Salazar defended his convictions about Pure-blood wizards and told Vizet that following a believed path mattered more than objective correctness.

Vizet passed Salazar’s first trial and learned that each person’s inner self could only be understood through their own experience. Salazar assigned him a second trial involving his pet at Hogwarts and promised to teach him how to control Spell Commands if he succeeded.

• Vizet asked Salazar about his past and state, then listened as Salazar explained that one person could not fully convey their inner self to another.
• Salazar tested Vizet with a locked box and a Billywig, and Vizet concluded that he could not verify another person’s inner experience without seeing it himself.
• Salazar confirmed Vizet’s insight and warned that relying too heavily on another person’s description could undermine his trust in his own understanding.
• Salazar set Vizet’s second trial: find his pet at Hogwarts and either defeat it, kill it, or tame it, then return through the Mirror of Erised with part of its body or its trust.
• Salazar told Vizet not to seek help from professors and revealed that the reward would be a method for controlling Spell Commands.

Dumbledore and Snape worried over Vizet’s disappearance, and Dumbledore learned from Fawkes that Vizet was inside the Mirror of Erised in a place beyond his magical reach. Vizet returned from the Mirror World with notes from Salazar, while Dumbledore was shaken by what he saw in the mirror.

• Snape questioned Dumbledore about whether Vizet’s disappearance had been deliberate, and Dumbledore explained that he had wanted to see Vizet face the Mirror of Erised.
• Fawkes told Dumbledore that Vizet was inside the mirror, in a place Dumbledore could not reach through magic.
• After Snape left, Dumbledore worried that Vizet’s location was dangerous and waited beside the mirror with Fawkes.
• Salazar gave Vizet notes and told him to locate his pet if he wanted to learn the G-e-i-s Spell Command, then sent him back through a tall mirror.
• Vizet returned to the Headmaster’s Office, where Dumbledore examined him and asked what had happened.
• Dumbledore looked into the Mirror of Erised, became sorrowful, and admitted that he was tired.

Dumbledore explained the Mirror of Erised, Vizet’s identity as the new Guardian, and the Ancient Magic he had learned from Guardian armor. He also revealed that Quirrell remained unconscious because his purified soul was incompatible with the body corrupted by Voldemort.

• Dumbledore explained that the Mirror of Erised reflected a person’s deepest desires and could serve as a passage connected to the Guardian.
• Vizet told Dumbledore that the mirror had shown him chaos, flawlessness, and himself reading amid a sea of books.
• Dumbledore described how he and a companion had discovered Guardian armor in a Wizard Ruin and studied its Ancient Magic.
• Dumbledore demonstrated a Compound Magic that made two suits of armor fight until they destroyed each other, and offered to teach it to Vizet.
• Vizet asked why Quirrell had not awakened, and Dumbledore explained that the Philosopher’s Stone had sustained his Life Force but his purified soul now clashed with his Voldemort-corrupted body.

Dumbledore explained why Quirrell needed to master the Philosopher’s Stone rather than depend on its effects, then told Vizet how his early dealings with Voldemort had left him wondering whether he had helped shape the Dark wizard. Vizet responded that no one could fully understand another person’s experiences, leaving Dumbledore with a different way to consider his regrets.

• Dumbledore told Vizet that Quirrell had to learn Alchemy and control the Philosopher’s Stone to avoid becoming dependent on it.
• Dumbledore described Voldemort’s cruel behavior at the orphanage and how, in the summer of 1937, he burned and restored a cabinet of stolen toys before making Voldemort return them.
• Dumbledore admitted that he had been wary of Voldemort, had not accompanied him to Diagon Alley, and feared his own failings had helped Voldemort grow into the person he became.
• Dumbledore lamented his failures toward Voldemort, Aberforth, and others, while Vizet noticed the Mirror of Erised behind him.
• Vizet told Dumbledore that a former Guardian in the Mirror World had taught him that only each person could fully understand their own experiences.

Vizet created his own Magic Bread with Dumbledore’s help, using the spell to express his experiences and touch the threshold of the soul. After they shared the bread, Dumbledore explained that he had summoned Vizet to test whether he could trigger the magic of the Mirror of Erised.

• Vizet realized he could not reproduce another person’s bread exactly and used his own experiences to create a unique recipe and spell.
• Dumbledore lit the fire for Vizet, and Vizet’s bread transformed as it baked; the former headmasters in the portraits sensed an extraordinary student’s soul.
• Vizet finished the bread with a spell, and Dumbledore extinguished the flames as Fawkes watched curiously.
• Vizet ate the successful Magic Bread with Dumbledore, who praised his Life Magic and offered him tea and sweets.
• Dumbledore told Vizet that he had intended to test whether Vizet could trigger the magic of the Mirror of Erised.

Vizet comforted Dumbledore over the guilt and grief he carried, reassuring him that Voldemort was responsible for the danger and that Harry and Vizet were safe. Dumbledore found comfort in Vizet’s support, and later assured Snape that Vizet had not been possessed by Voldemort.

• Dumbledore apologized to Vizet for the danger he had faced and blamed himself for repeating past mistakes.
• Vizet compared Dumbledore’s grief to the pain of the old director from his previous life and recognized how much Dumbledore suffered in silence.
• Vizet told Dumbledore that Voldemort had manipulated him and that Harry and Vizet were both safe, then encouraged Dumbledore to accept support instead of condemning himself.
• Dumbledore ate the bread Vizet offered, wept, and looked into the Mirror of Erised with renewed gentleness before saying, "Merry Christmas..."
• Snape hurried into the Headmaster's Office to ask whether Vizet had been possessed, and Dumbledore assured him that he had not.

At the End-of-Term Feast, Dumbledore announced Ravenclaw as the House Cup winner and began awarding points for the students who stopped the Dark Wizard invasion, ending as he turned to announce Vizet’s award.

• Snape tasted the bread Vizet had made and decided that the Dark Lord still could not influence him.

• Dumbledore reassured Vizet with a nod before announcing the House Cup standings and Ravenclaw’s victory.
• Dumbledore awarded points to Ron, Hermione, Harry, and Neville for their roles in stopping the Dark Wizard invasion, lifting Gryffindor from last place to second.
• Dumbledore turned to Vizet and began announcing his additional points.

Vizet helped awaken Quirrell with the Purifying Cleansing Soul Washing Spell, then encountered a drunken Trelawney before Professor McGonagall invited him to discuss Transfiguration. They found an empty classroom occupied by a floating humanoid object drawing on the ceiling.

• Dumbledore awarded Ravenclaw a hundred points for Vizet's achievement and celebrated with a magical eagle that burst into candies.
• Vizet finished first in his year, receiving an O in Potions from Snape, then tried his cleansing spell on the unconscious Quirrell.
• Vizet's spell drew black mist from Quirrell, who woke and learned that his body was weak because of the Philosopher's Stone; he thanked Vizet and Dumbledore before falling asleep again.
• Trelawney appeared drunk in the corridor and mumbled a prophecy, while Professor McGonagall wrapped her in a blanket and had a suit of armor carry her away.
• McGonagall led Vizet to an empty classroom to discuss Transfiguration, where they found a floating humanoid object drawing on the ceiling and singing among broken statues and scraps.

• Vizet stopped Xenophilius from boarding a Muggle bus with Bronze Knuts and suggested they take the Knight Bus instead.

• Vizet offered to teach Luna the magic he knew after she got her Wand, and Luna called him Teacher Vizet.

Vizet recovered enough to join Luna and Xenophilius at home, where Xenophilius proposed a summer trip after his book began selling well. They chose Sweden, and Vizet planned to gather Horklumps for brewing Invigoration Draughts, leaving Xenophilius to arrange sales and a fair commission.

• Vizet and Luna admired the flowering Christmas Cactus and the updated meadow mural before Vizet joined Xenophilius for dinner.

Vizet and Luna began shopping for Luna’s Hogwarts supplies while Xenophilius went to the Ministry to apply for a Wizarding Passport. After buying school items and robes, Vizet took Luna to Florean Fortescue’s Ice Cream Parlour, where he ordered a Citrus Sorbet and Owl Ice Cream for them.

• Vizet took Luna to Florean Fortescue’s Ice Cream Parlour when her blush had not faded.
• Luna asked Vizet for a Citrus Sorbet, and Vizet also ordered a miniature Owl Ice Cream.

• Vizet used Transfiguration and the Levitation Charm to make his ice cream fly while Luna watched.
• Vizet and Luna left the ice cream shop and visited Mr. Ollivander, who asked Vizet to choose a wand for his sister.
