• Nox flicked his wand upward and sent a rapid series of spells toward Wizet.

Wizet uncovered Nox’s two Apparition techniques and defeated him in the All-England Wizarding Duelling Tournament, then healed his injury. Back at Hogwarts, Dumbledore revealed that Nox was a retired Auror friend who had been helping investigate the Death Eaters, and passed on Nox’s warning about Wizet’s mask.

• Dumbledore relayed Nox’s message that Wizet should treat himself completely as someone else whenever he put on the mask.

Wizet discussed the Death Eater threat and Voldemort’s actions with Dumbledore, then re-examined the prophecy in light of Peter Pettigrew’s fate. He proposed that a Death Eater might escape Azkaban with help from family connections, leaving Dumbledore to consider the possibility.

• Dumbledore advised Wizet to stay cautious and promised to ask trusted old Aurors to watch for Death Eaters.
• Wizet asked about the Dementors, and Dumbledore explained that Voldemort had partly controlled their breeding grounds before Dumbledore destroyed them.
• Wizet questioned whether Pettigrew’s death had made the prophecy uncertain, and he and Dumbledore moved to the Headmaster’s Office to examine it.
• Wizet and Dumbledore agreed that the prophecy’s outcome involved someone helping Voldemort return, but its earlier lines might describe an escape from Azkaban.
• Wizet suggested that a Death Eater’s family could help a prisoner break free, and he and Dumbledore considered Lucius Malfoy, Narcissa Malfoy, and Bellatrix Lestrange as possible links.

Dumbledore and Wizet questioned Sirius about Azkaban, hoping to identify which prisoner might have escaped and learn whether anyone had behaved strangely. Sirius agreed to let Wizet examine his memories using Peter Pettigrew as a keyword, and Wizet began explaining how he would do it.

• Dumbledore summoned Sirius to the Headmaster's Office to ask about Azkaban.
• Sirius said Bellatrix Lestrange and the other Lestranges were unlikely to escape because they stayed loyal to Voldemort and believed he would rescue them.
• Sirius explained that he could not clearly remember his own escape preparations because he had spent much of the time in his Animagus form while avoiding Dementors.
• Wizet suggested examining Sirius's memories, and Sirius agreed.
• Sirius named Peter Pettigrew as the thing he had thought about most while planning his escape, and Wizet began explaining why he needed a keyword.

Wizet searched Sirius Black’s memories of Azkaban, uncovering the prison’s grim history and the Death Eaters’ unrelenting faith in Voldemort’s return. The memories ended with Sirius learning Peter Pettigrew was alive and preparing to escape.

• Sirius began preparing to escape Azkaban by imitating Peter Pettigrew and using Animagus Transfiguration.
• Wizet continued watching the prisoners as Bellatrix Lestrange and the Death Eaters’ chants began to sound like a choir.

Wizet examined Sirius Black’s memories of escaping Azkaban and summoned the potion bottle Black had lost at sea. He identified its surviving contents as Polyjuice Potion, confirming that someone had smuggled a magical item into Azkaban.

• Wizet searched Sirius Black’s memories and noticed that Black had escaped Azkaban with a bottle of murky potion.
• Wizet and Sirius Black realized the bottle might have bypassed Azkaban’s protections because it was unusual, so Wizet summoned it from the sea to the Scottish Highlands.
• Wizet cleaned the bottle and found that seawater had seeped into the potion, though much of the original mixture remained.
• Wizet used Scarpin’s Revelaspell and identified the potion as Polyjuice Potion.
• Wizet told Dumbledore that the result supported their earlier assumption that there had been more than one special case.

Sirius Black and Dumbledore discussed a dead Azkaban prisoner who had used Polyjuice Potion, and Wizet identified Barty Crouch Jr. as the likeliest suspect. They agreed that the evidence needed careful handling, since pressing Barty Crouch too hard could backfire.

• Sirius Black concluded that the Polyjuice Potion user was probably a Death Eater with accomplices and worried that Harry remained in danger.
• Dumbledore explained that Peter Pettigrew had appeared at Hogwarts and that the escaped prisoner likely had not found Voldemort.

Joseph then gave Wizet a Firebolt on behalf of the Sweetwater All-Stars Post Office, leaving Wizet surprised by the generous delivery.

• Maxie Blanche and Joseph Gonzalez arrived at the Great Hall with their players, and the students crowded around to request autographs until Professor McGonagall organized them into lines.

• Harry caught the Golden Snitch ahead of Cho Chang, but Ravenclaw won the match by thirty points and claimed its third consecutive Quidditch House Cup.

The students then began their own practical tests, where Hermione struggled with a Boggart that took the form of Professor McGonagall before she defeated it and escaped.

• Harry recognized Wizet’s Disarming Charm and planned to use it himself as Wizet crossed the Grindylows’ pond and repelled an attacking Grindylow with Relashio.
• Wizet neutralized the path’s Dark magic traps with Finite Incantatem and drained the water from a Kappa’s head with Aguamenti before knocking it back into the pond.

Magic Steam Club during the summer, and Lupin was left considering the offer and Wizet’s goal of bringing Coolik to the whole world.

• Lupin told Wizet and Luna that Ministry employees had questioned his family, prompting his parents to warn him, and he feared his identity would be exposed if he stayed at Hogwarts.
