• Anduin told Viren that he would punish rule-breaking fairly and without exceptions, including Viren if he made a mistake.
• The next morning, Grade Leaders woke students and inspected their dormitories, but Joey Hickman let friends skip parts of the rules.

• Anduin revealed that Hog had spotted the students who broke rules the previous day and recorded their violations while Anduin relaxed elsewhere.

Anduin organized Hogwarts subjects into three categories and planned tailored study aids and exam preparation for Slytherin students. He outlined how students would study each category, leaving the practical spellcasting subjects as the final focus.

• Hog told Anduin he had memorized the young wizards’ names and was managing the surveillance task confidently.
• Anduin divided Hogwarts subjects into Theoretical Knowledge Subjects, Theoretical and Practical Subjects, and Spellcasting Practice Subjects.
• Anduin assigned Subject Representatives and Grade Leaders to collect past exam questions, record frequently tested material, and compile likely questions by year and subject.

• Anduin explained that practicing magic helped wizards assess their sensitivity and that emotions could amplify protective or Dark Magic.
• Anduin warned that Dark Magic could magnify negative emotions, recalling how casting the Cruciatus Curse had filled him with a dangerous urge to torture and kill.
• Anduin told the students to practice driving magic through willpower and demonstrated a distracted Repelling Charm that scored 26 on an alchemical target.
• Anduin taught the students to concentrate their attention like a drawn bowstring, then released a much denser Expelliarmus toward the target.

Anduin tested the Humanoid Target with a powerful Impact Curse, then used it to measure the younger wizards’ spellcasting and coach their technique. The third-years’ scores revealed how much they had to improve, while Eeyup’s strong result hinted at the effect of Anduin’s training.

• Anduin’s Impact Curse bent the Humanoid Target nearly flat, and it displayed a score of 238.
• Anduin ordered the third-years and older students to line up and test their spells, instructing them to concentrate rather than shout their incantations.
• The first third-year improved his Expelliarmus score from 15 to 21 after following Anduin’s advice, while another student struggled to raise a Repelling Charm score above 20.
• Most third-years scored between 20 and 25, but Eeyup scored 53 with his spell.
• Anduin warned Eeyup that the result was still below his expected standard and threatened special training if he performed that way again.

Anduin’s spellcasting exercises showed the students how much their skills varied, while Eeyup, Vivian, and Viren’s high scores made them suspect Anduin’s training was the secret to their strength. Anduin agreed to consider training the eager students, but warned that joining would come with conditions.

• Anduin measured the students’ Repelling Charms, and the fourth-years still fell short of the target despite outperforming the third-years.
• Vivian scored 52 on her first attempt, while Viren’s spell sent the Humanoid Target reeling and earned him 116 points.
• Joey asked Anduin whether Eeyup and Viren owed their strength to a secret technique, and Anduin explained that it came from scientific, high-intensity training.
• The students asked Anduin to let them join his training, and he agreed to give them a chance under certain conditions.
• Viren, Vivian, and Eeyup watched dismayed, worried Anduin was drawing more people into their exhausting training group.

• Anduin tied eligibility for his training to students’ grades, rule-following, and House Points, and Joey vowed to qualify despite his poor record.
