• Wizet followed the winding pipes to a cavern tunnel where he and Snape found scattered bones from several kinds of creatures.
• Wizet used Magic Eye to detect and collect Ancient Magic Power, then followed Dumbledore and Snape farther into the tunnel.

Wizet, Dumbledore, and Snape found a Basilisk's shed skin in the cave and Wizet cut it after refining his Severing Charm technique. Dumbledore persuaded Snape to teach Wizet Sectumsempra, and Snape demonstrated the spell on the skin.

• Snape explained how to focus magic into a point and extend it into a line, then demonstrated Sectumsempra on the shed skin.

Wizet used memories and Ancient Magic Power to imitate Snape’s Sectumsempra, cutting the snake skin into fragments but injuring his fingers and damaging nearby bones. After the group gathered the cleaned fragments and continued toward the next door in the Chamber of Secrets, the Wizard's Practical Guide absorbed Wizet’s remaining Ancient Magic Power.

• Snape demonstrated Sectumsempra and instructed Wizet to cut the snake skin precisely without letting the Dark magic cause extra damage.

• Wizet gathered and cleaned the snake skin, triggering the Wizard's Practical Guide to absorb all his collected Ancient Magic Power as the group continued onward.

Wizet, Dumbledore, and Snape entered the Chamber of Secrets and searched for hidden entrances, while planning to provoke the Heir into returning. As Wizet examined Slytherin’s statue, his guide revealed Spell Command and showed him a vision of a python emerging from a cracking skull.

• Wizet examined Salazar Slytherin’s statue, and his Wizard’s Practical Guide revealed the name Spell Command.
• Wizet remembered that passing Slytherin’s trial would let him control Spell Command, then saw a vision of a python emerging from a skull as cracks spread across it.

After Wizet destroyed the cracked skull, its memories overwhelmed him and he collapsed, while the Dark Mark on Snape’s arm briefly flared and vanished. Back in the Hospital Wing, Harry slept through Madam Pomfrey’s angry questioning of Dumbledore and Snape about Wizet’s exhaustion.

• The python smashed the granite-like skull, and the memories it released caused Wizet to lose consciousness.
• Snape caught Wizet, and Dumbledore laid him on a conjured bed as Snape reported that his Dark Mark had flared painfully before disappearing.

• Madam Pomfrey scolded Dumbledore and Snape for Wizet’s collapse, and Snape blamed Dumbledore’s advice that Wizet take more risks.

Wizet explored Salazar Slytherin’s memory of creating a cock’s egg for a Basilisk and studied the magic behind the experiment. He also learned how Salazar cast the Killing Curse, though the chapter left Wizet’s further understanding and use of that knowledge for the future.

• Madam Pomfrey sent Dumbledore and Snape away so Harry could rest after taking Skele-Gro.
• Wizet woke in the Chamber of Secrets and recognized the dark-robed wizard in the memory as Salazar Slytherin.
• Wizet watched Salazar conduct numerous experiments combining different branches of magic to produce a cock’s egg.
• Salazar completed his final experiment, and a rooster turned to ash after laying an egg marked with red, pulsing lines.
• Wizet inferred that the experiment’s ingredients and Killing Curse gave the egg the trait of death, and he studied how Salazar cast the curse.

Wizet witnessed Salazar Slytherin transform a rooster egg into a Basilisk egg and try to establish a Spell Command through Ancient Magic Power, mental magic, and communication. As Salazar’s memories ended before the contract formed, Wizet returned toward consciousness, sensing the Forbidden Forest and Hogwarts’s greenhouses.

• Salazar used Thestral blood, an alchemical incubator, and Ritual Magic to transform a toad and rooster egg into a Basilisk egg.
• Salazar nurtured the egg with Ancient Magic Power and used mental magic to communicate with it, seeking to form a Spell Command.
• Wizet considered whether Ancient Magic Power and communication might help him form a Spell Command with the Basilisk or a Mandrake, but resolved not to experiment recklessly.
• The Basilisk hatched, and Salazar’s memory fragments ended before Wizet could witness the Spell Command’s formation.
• Wizet felt himself regaining consciousness and sensed the Ravenclaw common room, the Forbidden Forest, and the Hogwarts greenhouses.

• Wizet demonstrated the Tickling Charm on a caged pixie and guided Neville and Hannah to cast it while imagining the greenhouse.
• Neville and Hannah cast brighter Tickling Charms, striking the pixies trapped in the cage.

Wizet encouraged Neville and Hannah to experiment with Herbology and magic, then joined Ravenclaw’s Quidditch practice as the team adjusted to its new Cleansweep Sevens. His speed worried rival teams, who discussed tactics and the need to end matches quickly.

• Wizet dispelled the Tickling Charm and suggested that Neville and Hannah use magical plants to explore other spells, ask professors questions, and experiment without pressure.
• Neville and Hannah thanked Wizet and Luna on the way to breakfast, where the students discussed the Chamber of Secrets and the Weasley twins jokingly claimed to be its heirs.

Wizet met with Dumbledore after his potion lesson, and a magical device confirmed that he had gained Spell Command after Voldemort’s failed attempt to invade his soul. The device transformed to match the serpent symbol in Wizet’s mind, and Wizet asked Dumbledore why Spell Command’s reaction would have been dangerous.

• Luna led Wizet to the Headmaster’s Office while he continued thinking about potion theory.
• Wizet gave Dumbledore a vial containing Dobby’s memory of the reason he had attacked Harry.
• Dumbledore had Wizet touch a silver magical device, which changed into the shape of the serpent symbol associated with Spell Command.
• Dumbledore concluded that Wizet had gained Spell Command, possibly when Voldemort tried to invade his soul at the end of the previous school year.
• Wizet demonstrated the Dark Mark with his wand, causing Dobby to faint again, and asked Dumbledore why a reaction from the device was troubling.

Wizet learned that Spell Commands required a lifelong contract with potentially severe consequences, so he worked with Dumbledore to reconstruct how his own contract had formed. He identified the locations, timing, ritual magic, and Basilisk shed-skin fragment needed for a possible test, leaving Dumbledore to assess the ritual array.

• Dumbledore explained that Spell Commands required a contract with restrictions and warned Wizet that breaking it could bring unknown consequences, possibly death.
• Wizet compared Dumbledore’s explanation with Salazar Slytherin’s memories and recognized similarities between Spell Command contracts and the Basilisk-raising process.

• Wizet concluded that a Basilisk shed-skin fragment was the crucial supporting item in his Spell Command contract, while Dumbledore examined the ritual array.

Wizet discussed forging a Spell Command contract with Dumbledore, who warned him of the dangers and avoided explaining its connection to 1945. At midnight, they tried to activate the Ritual Magic Array before the Mirror of Erised, but its response was faint, and Wizet proposed focusing on memories of Voldemort.

• Wizet told Dumbledore he wanted to learn the terms and effects of his Spell Command using Basilisk shed-skin fragments as guidance.
• Wizet asked Dumbledore to keep Snape away from Spell Commands until they understood Voldemort's possible return, and Dumbledore warned that Spell Commands were dangerous shackles.
• Dumbledore declined to explain the events of 1945 and arranged to meet Wizet at midnight.
• Wizet found that the Mirror of Erised's left image had changed to pure darkness with a python-shaped symbol, but staring at it did not restart the trial.
• Wizet used the Guardian Meditation Method to resonate with the Ritual Magic Array, felt only a faint response, and suggested recalling Voldemort instead of focusing on himself.

Wizet used mental magic during the Ritual Magic experiment and witnessed young Voldemort form a contract with the Basilisk, discovering how Spell Commands and their prices worked. He concluded that his own Spell Command required no sacrifice but remained an empty shell that he could fill by touching the Basilisk.

• Wizet recalled his encounter with Voldemort, and the Ritual Magic circle carried his consciousness into Salazar Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets.
• Wizet witnessed young Voldemort contract with the Basilisk, which consumed the emotion of love as payment for the Spell Command of Death.
• Wizet realized the Dark Mark was an empty shell of Voldemort's Death Spell Command and that Basilisk shed skin had let him form an empty shell capable of holding Petrification.
• Wizet told Dumbledore that he did not need to pay a price because Voldemort had already given up love.
• Wizet explained that he still needed to touch the Basilisk to fill his empty Spell Command shell and obtain the Petrification trait.

Wizet and Dumbledore investigated Voldemort’s Spell Command and learned how such contracts could shape their holders’ lives and lead to death. Dumbledore advised Wizet to conceal his own Spell Command, even from him.

• Dumbledore examined Wizet’s extracted memories and agreed that Voldemort’s ultimate Spell Command was tied to love and enabled his extraordinary Killing Curse.
• Dumbledore explained that Diarmuid O'Dyna’s Spell Command let him invent Amortentia, then recounted how Diarmuid died after violating his contract.
• Wizet inferred that Diarmuid’s contract forbade fighting a relative, and Dumbledore revealed the Tebo was Diarmuid’s half-brother, transformed after failing to become an Animagus.
• Wizet wondered whether Spell Commands guided holders toward a predetermined fate, and Dumbledore said the possibility could not be ruled out.
• Wizet proposed fabricating a Spell Command contract to hide his own, and Dumbledore told him not to reveal it to anyone, including Dumbledore.

• Lucius proposed selling the Weasleys an artifact left behind by the Dark Lord, disguising the scheme as charity.
• Dobby listened as Lucius and Draco discussed the Dark Mark and Dumbledore protecting the Dark Lord.
• Lucius searched his study and wondered whether the Dark Lord had come to warn him before concluding that Voldemort was hiding in plain sight beneath Dumbledore’s nose.

Dumbledore and Snape learned that Lucius Malfoy had mistaken Wizet for Voldemort because of the Dark Mark, Abraxas Malfoy’s notebook, and the effects of Lucius’s excessive use of Baruffio’s Brain Elixir. Dumbledore proposed using Wizet to bring Lucius and the Malfoy family’s wealth onto their side before Voldemort returned.

• Dobby sneaked into Lucius’s study and found Abraxas Malfoy’s dragon-hide notebook, which led him to believe Wizet was Voldemort reborn.
• Snape explained that Lucius’s fear of Voldemort, mounting anxiety, and Baruffio’s Brain Elixir side effects had driven him to send Draco to approach Wizet and seek forgiveness.
