Chapter Summaries

Wizet studied the Boggart with Magic Eye and formed a hypothesis about its far-reaching Magic Circuits, then used Ancient Magic and Devil's Snare senses to investigate its true form. His new experiment left him sensing that the cabinet held something and nothing at once.

• Wizet observed that the Boggart's Magic Circuits resembled those of the Marauder's Map and recorded the unexplained connection they extended toward.
• Wizet changed the Boggart into a Cornish Pixie and confirmed that its Magic Circuits transformed into those of the creature.
• Wizet hypothesized that the Boggart's extended Magic Circuits reached out to the world itself, though he could not verify the idea.
• Wizet enveloped the classroom in darkness with Ancient Magic: Improvement Lumos Extinguisher and strengthened his senses with the Night-Sight Spell and Ancient Magic: Self-Shaping.
• Wizet transformed his palm into Devil's Snare and sensed that the cabinet seemed to contain something, yet also nothing at all.

Wizet used Devil's Snare to investigate the Boggart in a storage cabinet and concluded that it was a soul-like being that sensed fear and formed a body from nearby matter. He recorded his theory but was left wondering why the Boggart had so little memory and needed to sense a person's fear again each time it transformed.

• Wizet tested the Boggart with Devil's Snare and found that it stayed inside the cabinet while he focused on the plant.
• Wizet entered the cabinet with Devil's Snare again and observed dust gather and form an examinee who had brewed a Forgetfulness Potion.
• Wizet compared the Boggart's need for fear with Dementors' need for emotion and developed a theory that the Boggart was closer to a soul than a material being.
• Wizet wrote down that the Boggart sensed fear through soul interaction and used external matter to form a body, then questioned its limited memory.

Wizet discussed his Boggart research and emerging questions about the soul with Lupin, then explained his findings to Dumbledore. The conversation left Lupin reflecting on the years he had lost and the unresolved pain of Sirius Black’s escape.

• Wizet dispelled the protections around the abandoned classroom and told Lupin that the Boggart remained safely in its cabinet.
• Lupin asked whether researching Boggarts troubled Wizet, and Wizet reassured him before asking what he knew about the soul.
• Dumbledore joined Wizet and Lupin, and Wizet described his Boggart research and ideas about the soul.
• Lupin struggled to follow some of Wizet’s explanations but noted the books he could study afterward.
• Lupin regretted the time he had lost and remained troubled by Sirius Black, who was still on the run.

Wizet discussed his Boggart research with Dumbledore, who arranged to explain the mysterious armor next weekend. Later, Wizet began a private lesson with Snape on the Wolfsbane Potion after learning Golpalott's Third Law.

• Wizet told Dumbledore that he had not yet uncovered what was most interesting about Boggarts, and Dumbledore connected his research to the armor he had mentioned before.
• Dumbledore scheduled a lesson about the armor for next weekend and told Remus Lupin that his teaching had earned the students' affection.
• Wizet visited Snape's office for a lesson on the Wolfsbane Potion, which Snape introduced as that day's topic.
• Wizet recalled how he had used a cooking analogy to understand Golpalott's Third Law and how mixed poisons required more complex antidotes.
• Wizet told Snape that the Wolfsbane Potion had two parts, one supplied by Damocles Belby's family and the other brewed by a potioneer.

Wizet analyzed the Wolfsbane Potion’s ingredients and their interactions under Golpalott’s Third Law, but found the formula seemed too ordinary to control werewolf madness. He told Snape that Marlowe Forfang had shared research notes about similar failed potions.

• Snape told Wizet to analyze the Wolfsbane Potion using Golpalott’s Third Law.
• Wizet classified the ingredients’ magical properties and identified Dragon’s Blood Resin, woundwort, and St. John’s Wort as the primary ingredients.
• Wizet determined how the remaining ingredients enhanced or balanced the potion’s effects.
• Wizet realized the formula seemed no more effective than an ordinary potion for awakening werewolves’ sanity.
• Wizet told Snape he had spoken with Professor Forfang and received his research notebook.

Wizet brewed Wolfsbane Potion under Snape’s supervision, using Arithmancy to speed up its stirring stages and learning that a dangerous silver liquid transformed it into something he sensed as poison. Snape prepared to test the finished potion on a toad, but the experiment had not yet begun.

• Snape examined Wizet’s notes, reminded him that the Belby family’s potion ingredients were important, and gave him the Wolfsbane Potion instructions.
• Wizet optimized his stirring motions with Arithmancy and completed the potion’s first stage in an hour and a half.
• Snape instructed Wizet to use the Bubble-Head Charm while adding a pure silver liquid, which made the potion feel poisonous to Wizet.
• Wizet finished the Wolfsbane Potion with a pure silver spoon, and it turned an eerie silver color as it cooled.
• Snape asked Wizet to pour a cup for an experiment, then levitated a struggling toad from a cage.

Wizet investigated how Wolfsbane Potion affected a toad, using Soul-Enslaving Charm to observe changes in its body and soul. He concluded that the potion affected the soul as well as the body, while Snape hinted he had expected Wizet to reach the point quickly.

• Snape fed a toad Wolfsbane Potion, and it convulsed, leaped wildly, and became an empty shell before Wizet dissected it and it exploded into blood mist.
• After Snape left, Wizet used Soul-Enslaving Charm and Magic Eye to study another toad after giving it the same potion dose.
• Wizet sensed the toad's blood pumping, painful bodily changes, and a brief tug within it before the toad collapsed and his control faltered.
• Wizet told Snape that Wolfsbane Potion affected the soul as well as the body, and Snape sent him away to study it later.
• After Wizet left, Snape remarked that Wizet had once again worked efficiently and reached the point quickly.

Wizet and Luna explored Honeydukes and Hogsmeade Village, choosing sweets for Wizet’s dormmates and for Xenophilius Lovegood. After Remus Lupin discreetly kept Flitwick from noticing them, they went to the Hog’s Head Inn, where Aberforth Dumbledore prepared pomegranate juice for them.

• Wizet and Luna browsed Honeydukes and picked out sweets to share with Wizet’s dormmates and send to Xenophilius Lovegood.

Wizet discussed his research into Boggarts with Dumbledore, explaining a theory that separates the spirit from the soul and treats fear as part of the soul. Dumbledore praised his progress and said understanding Wizet’s grasp of Boggarts would help them approach Armor Magic.

• Wizet visited Dumbledore’s office and suggested postponing their discussion because Dumbledore looked tired.
• Dumbledore explained that magic could share outward forms while differing in how each wizard understood and wielded it.

• Fred and George said Wood planned to train more in the gloomy weather so his team could prepare to face Wizet, though they thought the conditions would affect Harry more than Wizet.

Fred and George struggled to study for their O.W.L. exams while Wizet and Luna enjoyed translating an ancient Runes scroll.

On Halloween, Minerva McGonagall confronted Fred and George about their studies, and they explained their plan to improve their essays by ruthlessly criticizing each other’s work. After the feast passed without incident, Wizet escorted the Ravenclaw students to their common room and was finally reassured.

• Fred and George frightened first-years with the enchanted suits of armor until Minerva McGonagall rebuked them and raised Molly’s worries about their O.W.L. exams.

• A reception witch welcomed Wizet and explained the anonymous and non-anonymous registration options.
• The witch tried to sell Wizet an anonymous mask for ten Galleons, but Wizet requested only the anonymous registration form.
• Wizet said he had already prepared a mask after Professor Flitwick’s reminder, and the witch handed him the form to fill out.

Wizet registered for the All-England Wizarding Duelling Tournament as Noss and learned that his trial would involve vicious hounds. He sensed a Dark Mark on a tournament entrant and planned to inform Dumbledore, then faced the hounds as they attacked.

• Wizet registered under the alias Noss and used a magical silver mask that changed his voice.
• The receptionist witch explained the vicious-hound trial, and Wizet asked her to raise its difficulty.
