Chapter Summaries

Professor Snape taught Wizet his method for casting the Patronus Charm and warned that it could protect him when darkness threatened. When Wizet cast it against a Dementor, the spell drew him into an exploration of his soul and left him in his old orphanage room.

• Wizet cast Expecto Patronum and followed the silver light into a strange inner world, where memories appeared around him.
• Wizet emerged in his room at the orphanage, surrounded by the familiar bunk beds and peeling walls.

• Wizet cast Expecto Patronum as positive memories surged through him, sending countless wisps of silver mist from his wand.
• The Patronus drove the Boggart Dementor back and spread silver mist through Hogwarts Castle and beyond.

Snape’s Boggart revealed Voldemort, and Snape successfully cast the Patronus Charm, remembering Lily and hoping Wizet could protect those he cared about. Meanwhile, Tom Riddle gained Pansy’s trust through the diary and persuaded her to help him obtain life force from chickens.

• Snape cast Riddikulus, making the Boggart appear as a skeletal figure split in two before it vanished.

• Pansy removed her necklace and prepared to agree to Riddle’s request to teach her a spell.
• Riddle told Pansy that her blood could let him emerge from the diary, and she cut her thumb and dripped blood onto it.

• Professor Snape told Wizet to use a small Patronus Charm when visiting his office and to keep the afternoon’s events secret.
• Harry, Hermione, and Ron were surprised when Snape passed Harry without taking points, and Wizet returned Ron’s repaired wand.

Snape told Dumbledore that Wizet’s Patronus had appeared after Snape’s Dark Mark burned, and that Wizet’s Obscurus seemed to have changed. Dumbledore examined Snape’s Dark Mark and discovered how Voldemort used it to locate Death Eaters, then privately considered what might explain Voldemort’s rapid rise.

• Snape explained that his Occlumency had activated when his Dark Mark burned during Wizet’s lesson, and that Wizet might have read thoughts he had planted for Voldemort.
• Snape reported that Wizet’s Obscurus no longer seemed disordered or destructive and that Wizet had cast a powerful Patronus covering the castle, though its form had not become corporeal.
• Dumbledore concluded that Wizet’s Patronus showed he had not yet been affected, and Snape said he would require Wizet to cast it whenever they were alone together.
• Dumbledore examined Snape’s Dark Mark and explained that pressing it let Voldemort sense a Death Eater’s location, like a key turning in a lock.
• After returning to his office, Dumbledore wondered whether something preserved and still functioning could explain Voldemort’s rapid growth.

Wizet and Luna stargazed from the Astronomy Tower, where he practiced his Patronus Charm and continued learning about moons. They sneaked through the castle toward the kitchens, thinking Filch was after them, while Filch instead hoped Wizet would make him a wand.

• Luna showed Wizet Europa through the telescope and shared what she had learned about the moons.
• Wizet located Europa, then cast a Patronus Charm to keep them warm as they continued stargazing.
• Wizet and Luna decided to visit the kitchens for noodles and quietly made their way through the castle.
• After Mrs Norris meowed nearby, Luna took Wizet by the hand and they ran to a large painting, believing they had escaped Filch.
• Filch asked Mrs Norris about Wizet, then said he was counting on Wizet to make him a wand and used Scourgify to clean himself and Mrs Norris.

Wizet and Luna slipped into the Hogwarts kitchen, where Wizet used magic to make noodles and shared them with Luna and the house-elves. The meal became a day Luna promised to remember as Wizet reflected on the sweetness of a memory.

• Luna found the pear that opened the entrance to the Hogwarts kitchen, and Wizet and Luna entered without being caught by Mr. Filch.
• Wizet asked the house-elves for ingredients and cooking utensils so he could make noodles himself.
• Wizet used Domestic Life Magic and the Severing Charm to prepare noodles with tomato-and-egg topping, then cleaned the kitchen.
• Wizet shared bowls of noodles with Luna and the house-elves, and Luna promised she would remember the day.
• Wizet ate a fried egg and recalled the sweetness of eating longevity noodles for the first time.

Wizet discovered that Helga Hufflepuff's enchanted notebook recorded recipes and preserved a memory that he could extract only with Ancient Magic. As the new week began, he practiced keeping a leaf in his mouth and struggled with the unusual habit at school and during sleep.

• Rek showed Wizet Helga Hufflepuff's notebook, and Wizet learned that touching its silver-lit recipes revealed cooking techniques.
• Wizet recorded his noodle recipe in the notebook and used Ancient Magic to extract a hidden memory from it.
• Rek thanked Wizet, and the house-elves gave him and Luna snacks to take back to their dormitory.
• Wizet began practicing keeping a leaf in his mouth, but nearly swallowed or choked on it during meals, class, and a nap.
• Anthony asked why Wizet was eating leaves, and Michael joked that Wizet was creating obstacles to give their roommates more chances to answer questions.

Wizet adapted to keeping a leaf in his mouth while juggling several magical studies, then brought Fred and George into the Mystic Corridor. The twins explored the hidden space and became intrigued by its strange blank books.

• Wizet used the Levitation Charm to keep the leaf in his mouth, while students from several Houses offered antidotes and remedies; he explained that he was practicing magic.
• Wizet examined Helga Hufflepuff's memory and found that solving its Rune puzzles would take considerable time, so he moved Runes down his list of study goals.
• Wizet showed Fred and George how to open the redwood cabinet and led them into the Mystic Corridor.
• Fred and George excitedly explored the corridor, praising its space and gathering ideas for experiments and storage.
• George noticed the stacks of strange blank books, and Fred said one felt familiar and that they might have had one at home.

Wizet learned how the Weasley twins’ childhood pranks had left Ron terrified of spiders, then used their advice to uncover the memories hidden in a protected book. He and the twins traveled with Selina’s Notebook to a Pensieve room, where Fred and George prepared to view the memories.

• George and Fred recalled turning Ron’s teddy bear into a spider and nearly binding him with a magical contract, which earned them an angry Arthur’s beating.
• George explained that fire had stripped the protective layer from a collectible, and Wizet used Incendio to reveal a similar protection on the blank book.
• Wizet used the Memory Extraction Charm to draw a silver thread of memory from the book while Fred and George joked about the risks of using a Pensieve.
• Wizet took out Selina’s Notebook and brought Fred and George to the Pensieve room.
• Fred and George examined the Pensieve and urged Wizet to pour in the memories.

Wizet and the Weasley twins watched Wendelin the Weird’s memory of rescuing a girl from a witch-hunt execution, then learned how she made a Nose-Biting Teacup. After Wizet questioned how Selina had obtained the centuries-old memory, he joined the twins in planning to make the magical item.

• Wizet and the Weasley twins entered a memory and watched Wendelin the Weird shape a teacup, enchant it with sharp teeth, and disguise herself as a servant.
• Wendelin brought the Nose-Biting Teacup to a judge overseeing a witch-hunt execution, and it bit off part of his nose.
• Militiamen tied Wendelin to the stake with the accused girl, but the flames did not burn them; Wendelin invited the girl to leave with her for Hogwarts.
• Wizet recognized the memory as likely belonging to Wendelin the Weird and wondered how Selina had obtained it, so he wrote his questions in Selina's Notebook.
• Selina replied, “Not yet!” and the Weasley twins urged Wizet to help them make a Nose-Biting Teacup, suggesting he could become a partner.

Wizet helped Fred and George craft Nose-Biting Teacups, learning their family’s magical-item techniques and applying ideas from the Grindelwald notebook. After a week of making teacups, he brought a Mandrake leaf to the Astronomy Tower under a clear, full moon.

• Wizet accepted Fred and George’s invitation to help make a Nose-Biting Teacup and learn from their inherited craft.
• Fred and George described how they developed safe prank effects, made magical powder, and used Runes to enchant their items.
• Wizet exchanged ideas with the twins, and his Cube Theory helped reduce the teacups’ production cost.
• Fred and George lowered the teacups’ price to attract buyers, while Wizet continued crafting items to gain experience.
• A week later, Wizet brought a Mandrake leaf to the Astronomy Tower, where moonlight gave it a soft sheen.

Wizet began the first step of the Animagus ritual, but the Mandrake leaf behaved unlike the Animagus Notebook described: it merged with his soul, vanished, and left him energized. After repeating the experience, he went to Professor McGonagall to explain what happened, and she recognized it as unprecedented.

• Wizet placed a Mandrake leaf in his mouth and saw a swirling, vivid version of The Starry Night as the leaf merged with his soul and grew into a Mandrake.
• The Mandrake withered into his soul, while the leaf dissolved into a liquid that spread through Wizet's body and left him invigorated.
• Wizet repeated the first step with another leaf and again felt the Mandrake dissolve, leaving his mind sharper.
• Wizet considered how the ritual's focus on understanding the soul might explain the unusual reaction, then went to Professor McGonagall's office.
• Wizet described both attempts to McGonagall, who listened seriously and realized no wizard she knew had experienced a Mandrake leaf dissolving in this way.

Wizet and Professor McGonagall investigated why Mandrake leaves behaved strangely during his Animagus training, and found that clear moonlight was interfering with the process. McGonagall covered the moon with clouds to help him try again, just as Dumbledore arrived and offered assistance.

• Professor McGonagall explained that Wizet's understanding of his soul made the Mandrake leaves nourish it instead of protecting it, and learned that Aberforth had taught him the Soul Maze and Occlumency.
• Wizet used Occlumency to protect his soul and tried the Mandrake leaf again, but the leaves still entered his Soul Maze and repeated their growth and withering cycle.
• Professor McGonagall observed that moonlight gathered around Wizet rather than the Mandrake, and Wizet concluded that clear weather hindered his Animagus training.
• Professor McGonagall cast the Weather-Changing Charm to gather clouds and block the moon while Wizet tried another leaf.
• Dumbledore arrived as the leaf's light gathered slowly and offered to help.

Dumbledore, Snape, Sprout, Flitwick, and McGonagall gathered around Wizet as he took the first step in a soul-related magical process. After the professors weakened the moonlight’s influence, the Mandrake leaf connected with Wizet’s Soul Maze, and he gained a deeper understanding of the Magic Eye.

• Dumbledore passed Snape, who turned away after exchanging teasing remarks with him.
• Sprout told Dumbledore that Wizet’s first step should go smoothly and mentioned moving the Mandrakes into the moonlight.
• Dumbledore joined Flitwick and McGonagall at the Astronomy Tower, where they recognized that Wizet’s soul was involved in the difficulty.
• Flitwick raised mist from the Black Lake to cover the moonlight, and Dumbledore extended the Astronomy Tower to weaken its magic further.
• The Mandrake leaf curled into a needle, moved away from Wizet’s Soul Maze, and connected its Magic Circuits to it.
• Wizet reflected on the Mandrake leaves’ exchange with their roots and understood the power of the Magic Eye more deeply.

Wizet explained how the Magic Eye let him see magical patterns and make deductions, then returned to Hogwarts with Dumbledore, McGonagall, and Flitwick. In the Headmaster’s Office, he extracted a memory into the Pensieve so they could examine what he had learned.

• Wizet reflected that the Magic Eye revealed patterns directly, but using them for further deductions depended on his existing knowledge.
• Dumbledore, McGonagall, and Flitwick finished their work with Wizet, and he thanked them before asking to use the Pensieve.
• The four encountered Fred and George sneaking out of Gryffindor Tower, but Dumbledore told them they were not caught and let them return to the common room.
• At the Headmaster’s Office, Wizet fed Fawkes a Dirigible Plum and told Dumbledore he had learned memory magic from Lockhart.
• Wizet extracted a silver-threaded memory into the Pensieve, and Dumbledore praised how little personal subjectivity it seemed to contain.

Wizet explained how a Mandrake leaf helped form the anchor point needed for an Animagus transformation, using the siphon phenomenon to describe its absorption of memories. He concluded that the hair used in a later step corrected the anchor point so a transformed wizard returned to human form at their current age and appearance.

• Wizet described how the Mandrake leaf absorbed his memories through a two-way flow, and the professors sensed the effect in the Pensieve.
• Professor Flitwick recalled the siphon phenomenon, prompting Wizet to create a demonstration with two cups and a tube.
• Wizet explained that the Mandrake leaf acted both as a siphon tube and as an anchor point, absorbing memories during the month it was held in the mouth.
• Dumbledore suggested tracing the process back to its origin, and Wizet realized the strand of hair corrected the anchor point.
• Wizet concluded that the hair ensured an Animagus returned to human form with their current appearance rather than as a child or infant.

After Wizet explained his Animagus research and proposed inscribing magical memories with Runes, Dumbledore and the professors discussed the idea and how to keep him safe. The professors departed, and Dumbledore hinted to Snape that Wizet had discovered interesting properties in young Mandrake leaves.

• Professor McGonagall encouraged Wizet to publish his Animagus research in Transfiguration Today after he completed the transformation.
• Wizet suggested inscribing pure magical memories onto the Animagus process with Runes, and Dumbledore said the idea was worth trying.
• Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick worried about the risks, but Dumbledore promised to supervise Wizet’s final step.
• Wizet asked about using the Weather-Changing Charm to create a thunderstorm, and Professor Flitwick offered to teach him the spell.
• After Wizet and the professors left, Snape entered the Headmaster’s Office and declined Dumbledore’s offer to use the Pensieve.
• Dumbledore told Snape that Wizet had discovered interesting properties in young Mandrake leaves.

Dumbledore and Snape discussed the choices made by Minerva and Filius before Snape left the Headmaster’s Office. Wizet and Luna continued furnishing the Mystic Corridor, turning it into a comfortable secret base where they relaxed over tea and snacks.

• Dumbledore told Snape that Minerva and Filius had joined a project for Transfiguration Today, and he reflected that their choices mattered more than any outside influence.
• Wizet and Luna worked on organizing the Mystic Corridor, dividing it into areas for displays, study, and furniture.
• Wizet used nighttime wanderings to bring wooden boards from Hagrid, and Filch helped carry them while asking Wizet to teach him magic.
• Luna decorated the corridor with a cleaned star-chart tapestry and astronomy tools, while House-elves supplied cushions and chairs.
• Wizet and Luna finished furnishing the Mystic Corridor and shared tea, cakes, and honey-soaked Dirigible Plum.

Wizet studied Weather-Changing Charms with Professor Flitwick and prepared a Mandrake leaf for his second full moon. With Hogwarts professors and Hagrid present to ensure clear skies, he exposed the transformed leaf to moonlight, where Professor McGonagall admired its crystalline sheen.

• Wizet learned Weather-Changing Charms from Professor Flitwick and used the Clear-Sky Charm to bring sunlight into the Mystic Corridor.
• Wizet prepared a Mandrake leaf with spells and shared his Animagus notes and memories with Snape using a Pensieve.
• Dumbledore wondered whether Snape had other reasons for requesting the Pensieve and reflected on what the coming full moon might mean for Wizet.
• Hagrid, Dumbledore, McGonagall, Flitwick, and Snape gathered at the grounds to keep the sky clear for Wizet's second full moon.
• Wizet exposed the Mandrake leaf to moonlight, and McGonagall remarked on its crystalline transformation.
