As the full moon rose, Vizet prepared to begin the ritual to cure Lycanthropy Disease, and the gathered wizards took their positions while Aurors secured the perimeter.

• Lupin and Liam Graves positioned the M·S·C employees, werewolf wizards, Aurors, and Hit Wizards, who formed a guarded perimeter around the array.

Vizet began the ritual by launching Fenrir Greyback into the center of a mirror maze, where the full moon triggered the transformation of the infected M employees into werewolves. Fenrir remained conscious but saw an image from his memories in the mirror, and he wanted only to escape.

• Vizet sent Baby Thunderbird to summon a thunderstorm, then flung Fenrir Greyback into the center of the Ritual Magic Array.

• Vizet lowered his arm, the rain stopped, and Sirius Black and Nymphadora Tonks wondered if the ritual had ended before Liam Graves suggested asking Mr. Lovegood.

• Vizet lowered the Moonstone Totem into the potion, and the liquid rapidly began turning red.
• Sirius Black recognized familiar ingredients and asked whether the potion could be used for the Animagus Transformation.

Vizet explained that a deep bond and mutual recognition could allow a wizard’s Animagus form to reflect a Magical creature, and that understanding oneself could make resisting Animal Instinct easier. He said his potion would let Lupin and the other werewolf wizards become werewolf Animagi and guide the Lycanthropy Disease curse into that form.

• Andrew and other wizards awoke, recognized their own hands and faces, and slapped themselves to confirm they had recovered.
• Vizet told the wizards to look up, and they saw the full moon above the open manor hall and tensed in anticipation of pain.

The former "Werewolf Wizards" discovered that their Lycanthropy Disease had vanished, and they celebrated their freedom beneath the full moon. Lupin reunited with Tonks and realized he no longer had to fear that his condition would endanger her.

• A former "Werewolf Wizard" saw the full moon and cried out that he was no longer afraid of it, while the others celebrated their freedom.

Liam Graves outlined possible advisory and government roles for them, leaving them encouraged about their future.

• Sirius Black joked to Harry that Vizet was the former Werewolf Wizards' future, stirring their worry that Vizet might take on more responsibility for them.
