Chapter Summaries

Wizet and Luna learned that Hogwarts Voice would reward student papers while keeping House point totals secret until the end of the year, and discovered that the Scamander family had joined the Board of Governors and supplied Hippogriffs. Wizet began his first Arithmancy class, where Professor Septima Vector introduced the power of numbers and displayed the Kabbalah Tree of Life.

• Anthony Goldstein explained that Hogwarts Voice would award House points at the end of the school year and give Chocolate Frogs to students whose papers were not selected.

• Wizet and Michael Corner headed to Arithmancy and encountered an exhausted Hermione on the way.
• Professor Septima Vector welcomed the joint class and explained that numbers could reveal truths and change fate.
• Professor Septima Vector used her wand to form a pattern, and Wizet identified it as the Kabbalah Tree of Life.

Septima Vector introduced Arithmancy and taught the students how it differed from Divination and how to interpret personality through numbers in names. The lesson ended with Wizet and Michael completing their name analyses and the class receiving an assignment to consider what Arithmancy could accomplish.

• Septima Vector welcomed Wizet’s answer with a point and introduced the Kabbalah Tree of Life as a way to understand magic through numbers.
• Septima Vector encouraged Michael Corner to repeat his praise of the charm of numbers, then awarded Ravenclaw a point.
• Septima Vector explained that Arithmancy relied on logic and mathematics, unlike Divination’s intuition, and described its use in interpreting character and magic.
• Michael Corner calculated Wizet’s personality number as seven and read out its associated traits while Wizet explored links between the Kabbalah Tree of Life and the Illumination Spell.
• Septima Vector praised Wizet and Michael’s work, awarded five points to each House, and assigned the students to discuss Arithmancy and imagine what else it could accomplish.

Septima Vector assessed her students' Arithmancy work and wondered whether her lesson had engaged Wizet Lovegood. Wizet showed her an analysis that used Ritual Magic, name numerology, and the Kabbalistic Tree of Life to reinterpret the Illumination Spell, and Vector recognized the reasoning behind it.

• Septima Vector noticed Hermione Granger worked quickly and recalled that professors judged their lesson preparation partly by whether Wizet Lovegood asked questions afterward.
• Septima Vector reviewed Michael Corner's and Wizet's essays, finding both strong while wondering what Wizet was still writing.
• Wizet asked Septima Vector to examine his attempt to reinterpret the Illumination Spell using name numerology and the Kabbalistic Tree of Life.
• Wizet explained that he had used what he knew of Ritual Magic to connect the spell's numerical analysis to the trait of radiance.
• Septima Vector praised Wizet's reasoning and traced how the spell's letters led to the number eight and the Kabbalistic association of Glory.

Wizet used Septima Vector’s explanation of Arithmancy to strengthen the Illumination Spell by amplifying the sense of glory behind it. Septima then began teaching him how to break spells through Arithmancy, demonstrating a counter-charm for the Illumination Spell.

• Wizet explained that he had learned about glory and radiance while studying, and Septima Vector praised his habit of gathering knowledge.
• Wizet connected glory in the soul to radiance conveyed through a spell, prompting Septima to ask whether he knew bloodline magic.
• Wizet tested his idea by casting Lumos while recalling moments of helping Lee Jordan and winning the Quidditch Cup with the Ravenclaw team, making the light brighter and more uplifting each time.
• Septima asked Wizet to end the spell, and he cast Nox to restore the classroom to normal.
• Septima explained how Arithmancy could break spells using an opposite word, then demonstrated the process with the Kabbalah Tree of Life and the incantation “Darkness falls!”

Wizet learned how Arithmancy could dismantle the Illumination Spell from Septima Vector and received offers of further study materials. Later, he and Luna visited Hagrid in the rain, where Hagrid welcomed them and asked whether they had come to see the creatures he was preparing.

• Septima Vector demonstrated the Darkness Arrives counterspell and explained how Arithmancy guided its slow, steady casting.
• Wizet identified the spell's connection to Wisdom and absolute rationality, and Septima Vector offered to gather exercises for him.
• Wizet checked the Marauder's Map, transformed into his Phoenix Animagus, and reached Charms Class on time.

• Hagrid hurried out to welcome them and asked if they had come to see the creatures despite the rain.

Hagrid brought Buckbeak to meet Wizet and Luna after the rain stopped, and the two learned about the Hippogriff’s habits. Hagrid hinted that he planned a surprise for his class, and Wizet and Luna seemed to guess what it was.

• Hagrid ran into the Forbidden Forest to fetch Buckbeak and asked Fang to bring ferrets.
• After the rain stopped, Fang returned with ferrets while The Monster Book of Monsters chased him; Wizet restrained the book and Luna calmed it by scratching its spine.
• Hagrid returned and praised Luna’s way of soothing the book, then called Buckbeak out of the shadows.
• Buckbeak ate a ferret Hagrid tossed him, and Hagrid explained Hippogriffs’ proud nature and habits to Wizet and Luna.
• When Wizet asked about his lesson plan, Hagrid said he had a surprise planned for his class and asked them to keep it secret.

Hagrid planned a relaxed lesson introducing his students to Hippogriffs, while Wizet worried about the risks of moving too quickly. Luna successfully greeted Buckbeak, and she and Wizet encouraged Hagrid to teach the students by introducing the creatures as friends and showing their abilities.

• Hagrid explained his plans for teaching the students about Hippogriffs and sharing details about their lives and habits.
• Wizet considered the risks of Hagrid’s approach and how learning broadly about magical creatures could deepen his knowledge of potion ingredients.
• Luna praised Hagrid’s introduction, and Wizet described how it made the Hippogriffs’ lives vivid.
• Buckbeak bowed to Luna, who returned the greeting and gently patted his beak.
• Wizet and Luna encouraged Hagrid to introduce the Hippogriffs as friends and let them demonstrate their strength, and Hagrid agreed that students should learn to respect their power.

Wizet and Luna helped Hagrid prepare for his first Care of Magical Creatures lesson with the Hippogriffs, then returned to Hogwarts for Ancient Runes. Professor Bathsheda Babbling introduced the subject and began the first lesson.

• Hagrid adjusted his Hippogriff lesson plan to introduce the creatures gradually, and Wizet and Luna encouraged him to treat the students like first-years.

• Professor Bathsheda Babbling introduced Ancient Runes as a study of ancient magical writing and urged the students to study diligently.
• Bathsheda Babbling demonstrated a scroll and wrote runic symbols on the blackboard before beginning the lesson.

Bathsheda Babbling introduced the origins and applications of Ancient Runes, explaining how runes worked through physical mediums and teaching the protective and luck-bringing Rune ᚦ. Hermione seemed unusually drowsy at first but later answered a question, while Wizet shared his knowledge of runes and their use.

• Anthony Goldstein explained the origins of Runes and earned three points for Ravenclaw.
• Bathsheda Babbling described how Runes were used in magical items and buildings, and Hermione identified runes as the foundation of magical buildings.
• Wizet explained that Runes usually needed a physical medium and earned ten points for Ravenclaw.
• Bathsheda Babbling taught the Rune ᚦ, explaining that it offered protection and good fortune and could be used when brewing potions.

Wizet translated an Ancient Runes passage revealing that focus and courage helped cast the Levitation Charm, then connected Runes and Magic Circuits to a new way of understanding magic. He finished the chapter asking Bathsheda Babbling about a Magic Circuit he had drawn.

• Wizet studied how writing direction and Aett affected Ancient Runes translations before completing a passage about focus and courage being key to casting the Levitation Charm.
• Wizet compared Runic numerals with magical creatures such as the Demiguise and Augurey, considering how their visible traits and abilities shaped their meanings.
• Wizet realized that Runes and Magic Circuits could help him work backward from a magical result, complementing the outward-to-inward method of Transfiguration taught by Professor McGonagall.
• Bathsheda Babbling checked on Wizet, saw his completed translation, and praised him for translating the whole sentence.
• Wizet drew a Magic Circuit and told Bathsheda Babbling that he had questions to ask.

Wizet discussed his Magic Circuit idea with Bathsheda Babbling, who offered to seek out Swedish Runes for him to translate. Meanwhile, Hagrid carried Draco toward the Hospital Wing after a Care of Magical Creatures lesson, but Draco panicked when he heard Hagrid describe beating a Troll to death and insisted he was fine.

• Hagrid told Wizet that his class had gone well but that he feared Buckbeak had injured Draco internally.
• Draco heard Hagrid describe punching a Troll until its insides were mush, then demanded to be put down and walked away to prove he was fine.

After Draco was injured during Hagrid’s Care of Magical Creatures lesson, he insisted he was fine and reflected on his changing relationship with his parents and his desire to become someone like Wizet. The chapter left Draco asking Wizet about his electives and learning how Arithmancy could help unravel magical traps and reinterpret spells.

• Wizet and Draco headed to Transfiguration, where Wizet explained that Thestrals were winged horses visible to those who had understood death.
• Draco reflected on Narcissa’s advice to follow his own feelings, his rivalry with Harry Potter, and his wish to become a renowned person like Wizet.
• Draco asked Wizet about his electives, and Wizet explained that Arithmancy could help people become Curse-Breakers and had helped him reinterpret the Illumination Spell.

Wizet taught Draco Malfoy to strengthen the Illumination Spell by drawing on a personal sense of “glory.” Draco discovered that his memories of Slytherin pride and his rivalry with Harry Potter had changed how he saw himself, but afterward his wand seemed harder to use.

• Wizet explained that the Illumination Spell could draw power from “glory” and showed Draco how it could create a solid ball of light.
• Draco recalled the pride he felt when the Sorting Hat placed him in Slytherin and used that memory to cast a stronger Illumination Spell.
• Draco reflected on his past clashes with Harry Potter and realized they did not reflect the Slytherin qualities he admired.
• Gregory Goyle and Vincent Crabbe arrived, and Draco told them the light was his own “glory” Illumination Spell.
• Draco extinguished the light with Nox and tried casting Lumos again, but found his wand less responsive than before.

Wizet inspected Draco’s hawthorn wand, explained why it no longer suited him, and made a quick adjustment to prevent a dangerous backfire while Draco decided to seek a new wand from Mr. Ollivander. Later, Wizet’s roommates discussed essays submitted to the Hogwarts Voice, and they asked whether he had helped Luna write hers.

• Wizet identified Draco’s wand as hawthorn with Unicorn Tail Hair and explained its contradictory properties.
• Draco chose to visit Mr. Ollivander for a new wand, and Wizet adjusted his current wand to reduce the risk of backfire.

• Michael told Wizet’s roommates that Robert Hilliard’s essay had been rejected and Luna’s essay about illumination spells and Doxycide had passed.
• Wizet’s roommates turned to him and asked whether he had guided Luna.

Wizet explained how Luna turned her paper comparing moonlight and the Glory Illumination Spell’s effects on Doxycide into a comic, then shared writing advice with his roommates. Remus Lupin announced that the class would have a practical lesson after covering textbook material, and the students speculated about what they would face.

• Wizet told his roommates that Luna’s paper used a fairy-tale comic to show how moonlight soothed Doxycide while the Glory Illumination Spell made them more energetic.
• Wizet explained that Luna’s portrayal captured her understanding of both kinds of light, and that Fred and George had used Illumination Spell-bathed Doxycide to make their fireworks brighter and louder.
• Michael asked Wizet for more writing tricks, so Wizet shared organized advice from a conversation with Harry in Diagon Alley, and Anthony and the others took notes.
• Remus Lupin entered the classroom and announced that the first lesson would cover the textbook while the second would be practical.
• Michael said Justin Finch-Fletchley expected a Boggart, while Anthony praised Lupin’s experience and recalled that he had cast a Patronus on the Hogwarts Express.

Remus Lupin taught the students the Knockback Jinx and emphasized remaining calm and resolute when facing danger. He led them to another classroom for practical lessons with a Boggart after explaining that the one he had planned to use was exhausted and had left the staff room.

• Lupin demonstrated the Knockback Jinx, then guided the students as they practiced it.
• Wizet mastered the spell and used Arithmancy to connect its name number, 9, with Lupin's advice to cast with firm will.
• After the lesson, Wizet and his classmates discussed Lupin and reviewed the section on Boggarts in their book.
• Lupin led the students past Peeves, who kept his distance and cursed at him from afar.
• Lupin explained that the Boggart he had planned to use was too exhausted, then opened another classroom to find a replacement.

Remus Lupin taught the students how to identify and confront a Boggart, guiding them through a practical lesson. When Wizet took his turn, the Boggart stayed a white peacock but seemed unable to decide what to become.

• Anthony Goldstein explained that Boggarts hid in dark, cramped places, and Lupin awarded Ravenclaw five points.
• Draco described the Boggart's showy behavior as resembling the white peacocks at his home, earning Slytherin five points.
• Lupin reviewed the students' advantages and the Riddikulus spell before opening the cupboard for the practical exercise.
• Vincent Crabbe froze when the Boggart became a burning version of himself, and Lisa Turpin changed a Nuckelavee into a colorful rocking horse.
• Draco Malfoy turned the Boggart's image of Lucius Malfoy into a white peacock.
• When Wizet stepped forward, the Boggart remained a white peacock, its tail drooping as it seemed unable to choose a new form.

During Lupin’s Boggart lesson, Wizet’s apparent fear of a potion exam and his classmates’ fears turned the practical exercise into a comic spectacle. Lupin praised the students and awarded them points before reminding them that courage meant facing fear, leaving the class in high spirits.

• The Boggart slowly transformed into a nervous student brewing a Forgetfulness Potion, prompting the class to laugh at a story many had heard about the first-year final exams.
• Before Wizet could cast Riddikulus, the Boggart fled behind him and became Draco, frightening Gregory Goyle, who made it transform into Vincent Crabbe and fall over.
• Anthony Goldstein defeated the Boggart’s next form, a Michael Corner on a Flying Broomstick that bounced off the ceiling, provoking more laughter and mock concern about their friendships.
• At the bell, the Boggart escaped into its cabinet while still resembling a burning Vincent Crabbe, and Lupin gathered the students to end the lesson.
• Lupin awarded every student five points and urged them to stay calm and face their fears, explaining that courage meant moving forward despite being afraid.

After Remus Lupin's lesson, Wizet discussed Boggarts and the shrinking Dementor cloak with Luna, then visited the Boggart at night to test its connection to his Soul Maze. The Boggart emerged as Luna offering him a Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Bean, and Wizet concluded it had mistaken something inside the Soul Maze for a fear.

• Students and professors heard that Wizet's Boggart had taken an embarrassing form, and Septima Vector and Bathsheda Babbling watched Snape for his reaction.
• Luna told Wizet she thought the Boggart had only seen superficial fears, and they discussed how Boggarts transformed and how the Dementor cloak was changing.
• After checking the Marauder's Map, Wizet used his Phoenix Animagus form to reach the abandoned classroom and investigate the Boggart.
• Wizet opened the cabinet, and the Boggart appeared as Luna offering him an orange-flavoured Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Bean.
• Wizet concluded that the Boggart had treated something inside his Soul Maze as something he feared.

Wizet studied how Boggarts reacted to the Soul Maze and their surroundings, concluding that they had no memory and did not recognize people. At Hogwarts, students read that Sirius Black had apparently killed a Dementor, leaving them speculating that the Ministry might keep him alive to learn how he did it.

• Wizet researched the Boggart with help from Lupin, who shared books and knowledge connected to his father’s studies.
• Wizet fixed a fear in the Soul Maze and found that the Boggart changed more readily in darker places.
