• Luna embraced Wizet and wished him a Merry Christmas, leaving him frozen in surprise.

Wizet and Luna shared a tender embrace before the Yule Ball, then joined Neville and Hannah while they waited for the Great Hall to open. As the ball began, Neville nervously asked Wizet whether the Confundus Charm could make him forget his dance steps.

• Wizet and Luna paused their embrace to ask a portrait about the Yule Ball and learned they had more than thirty minutes before it began.
• Wizet and Luna chose to embrace again rather than take the shorter route, and Luna compared their affectionate cheek-rubbing to Jupiter.
• Wizet and Luna reunited with Neville and Hannah, while Hannah admired Luna's formal dress and wondered if Wizet had ordered it for her.
• Neville asked Wizet about the Life-Gathering Spell, an improved spell designed to rely more on willpower and affect the soul less.
• When the Great Hall doors opened, Neville nervously asked Wizet whether the Confundus Charm would confuse his dance steps.

Wizet and Luna joined the Yule Ball, admired the magical decorations, and met their friends and dance partners. Professor McGonagall led the Champions into the transformed Great Hall, where Dumbledore opened the banquet and showed the students how to order from the menus.

• Neville practiced the Confundus Charm with Wizet's help before joining him and the others downstairs.
• Wizet and Luna saw a magically transformed cavern filled with roses, fairies, and glowing fairy eggs outside the Great Hall.

• Harry pointed out Hermione in her blue formal robe as Victor Krum's dance partner.
• Professor McGonagall led the Champions and their partners into the decorated Great Hall, where Wizet pulled out Luna's chair before sitting beside her.
• Dumbledore started the banquet and demonstrated ordering food from the menus, prompting the students to choose their dishes.

At the Christmas feast, Wizet noticed Luna avoiding saucy foods to protect her dress robes and began feeding her, leaving her flustered and delighted. Ginny took the moment as encouragement, and Harry nervously offered her a dish as they prepared for the ball.

• Roger Davies barely ate as he watched Fleur Delacour and listened to her describe Christmas at Beauxbatons Castle.

At the Yule Ball, Dumbledore cleared the Great Hall and invited the Champions to dance. Wizet and Luna danced together in perfect sync, and they decided to dance again as the music grew livelier.

• Dumbledore transformed the Great Hall into a ballroom and announced the start of the ball.
• Professor McGonagall prompted the Champions to demonstrate their dancing, and Wizet invited Luna onto the floor.
• Harry imitated Wizet’s invitation and asked Ginny to dance.
• Wizet and Luna danced gracefully in time with the music and each other while the other guests joined the floor.
• After their dance ended, Wizet asked Luna how he had done, and she playfully suggested she needed another dance to judge him.

Wizet and Luna rested after dancing, shared hot drinks, and playfully pressed their shoes together beneath the table. When Draco joined them with Astoria Greengrass, Wizet learned that Astoria suffered from a hereditary family curse and noted his interest in finding out more.

• Wizet used an Ancient Magic Levitation Charm to ease Luna's weight as they left the dance floor and sat down.
• Colin Creevey showed Wizet and Luna the photographs he had taken, and Luna planned to send one of their pictures to Xenophilius Lovegood.
• Luna deliberately nudged Wizet's shoe beneath the table, and they continued their playful game while choosing hot drinks.
• Draco and Astoria Greengrass came over to rest, and Astoria chatted with Luna despite her frail health.
• Wizet asked about Astoria's illness in his notebook, and Draco explained that it was a hereditary curse that had affected Astoria but not Daphne.

Wizet learned from Draco that Astoria Greengrass’s frailty and unusual accidental magic came from an inherited family curse that could drive people nearby mad. After examining her rune-covered necklace and hearing about her symptoms, Wizet suspected the curse might be connected to Augureys and bloodline magic.

• Wizet asked Draco about Astoria Greengrass’s accidental magic, and Draco explained that it had driven a House-elf into madness.
• Draco said the Greengrass family curse weakened Astoria and affected people nearby, while an old runic necklace let her speak normally but did not relieve her frailty.
• Wizet used his Magic Eye to identify a Silencing Charm at the heart of Astoria’s necklace and considered whether the curse was connected to Augureys.
• Wizet saw Astoria clutch her chest, then asked Draco about her symptoms; Draco said she experienced heart pain and dizziness, and her family’s potions had done little.
• Wizet wondered whether Astoria’s inherited curse was connected to bloodline magic.

Wizet connected Astoria Greengrass’s hereditary family curse to failures of bloodline magic and devised a complicated Augurey Tonic formula to ease her condition. He gave the formula to Draco, asking him to keep Wizet’s name secret and use the Greengrass family’s trust to seek access to their curse research.

• Wizet compared Astoria Greengrass’s condition with Gilderoy Lockhart’s bloodline magic and considered how inherited magical afflictions could arise.
• Draco asked whether Wizet could cure Astoria, and Wizet said he could only make attempts based on his limited understanding.
• Wizet wrote Draco a complicated potion formula for a tonic intended to improve Astoria’s strength, disguising its Augurey Tonic foundation with extra steps and safeguards.
• Wizet told Draco not to reveal his name until Astoria had taken the potion and it had worked.
• Draco reasoned that the Greengrass family would need to trust them before giving Astoria the tonic, and Wizet said he hoped to obtain their research on the hereditary family curse.
• Wizet asked Draco to discuss how to approach the matter with Mr. Malfoy.

Wizet and Luna left the Yule Ball to explore the grounds, but fled the fountain after Michael Corner warned them about Professor Snape’s point deductions. By the Black Lake, Wizet used Luna’s humming to create a Harmonic Space Charm that recreated the Great Hall, leaving them together inside the new space.

• Wizet and Luna went outside to see the fairies, where Michael Corner rushed up and warned them that Professor Snape was deducting points at the fountain with Headmaster Karkaroff.
• Wizet and Luna changed direction and strolled along the Black Lake, where Wizet came up with the idea of using the Yule Ball to shape a Harmonic Space Charm.
• Luna encouraged Wizet and hummed a tune as he cast the Harmonic Space Charm, creating a starlit Great Hall with music and a dance floor around them.
• Wizet and Luna celebrated their success, and Wizet recalled memories of the Christmas feast, including feeding Luna with his own utensils.

Wizet and Luna shared an intimate dance in the Yule Ball hall created by the Harmonic Space Charm, then left the ball and returned to Ravenclaw Tower. Luna brushed Wizet's cheek before disappearing around the staircase.

• Wizet invited Luna to dance again, and they embraced as they slowly swayed together.
• Wizet leaned closer to Luna, but she turned her head, and he kissed her ear instead.
• Luna left Wizet's embrace and asked if they should go back, and Wizet took her hand and agreed.
• Wizet draped his coat over Luna's shoulders and cast the Preservation Charm to keep them warm as they walked back to the castle.
• Wizet and Luna returned to the Ravenclaw common room, where Luna gave back his coat and brushed his cheek before vanishing around the staircase.

After Luna kissed Wizet goodbye, he lay awake thinking about her until the Soul-Soothing Potion helped him sleep. The next morning, Wizet and Luna visited Sprout, who discussed Neville and Hannah’s growing confidence and the need to find them a plot for cultivating magical plants.

• Wizet carried the tired Thunderbird back to the dormitory and tried to fall asleep while holding the lapel chain Luna had given him.
• Michael Corner told his roommates that Snape had interrupted his plans, and the boys speculated about Wizet and Luna.
• Wizet took a few drops of Soul-Soothing Potion and finally drifted off to sleep.
• Wizet woke the next morning, met Luna, and went with her to the greenhouse.
• Sprout told Wizet that Neville and Hannah had grown more confident through M.S.C. and had become pen pals with a Castelobruxo professor.
• Wizet and Sprout discussed finding Neville and Hannah a plot of land for their magical plants and compared a Herbologist’s land to a wizard’s wand.

Sprout discussed how Castelobruxo combined Herbology and Care of Magical Creatures, and Wizet reasoned that the school optimized magical plants to simplify potion recipes. Sprout suggested Castelobruxo used Ritual Magic, leaving Wizet wondering whether spells such as the Life-Gathering Spell could achieve similar results.

• Sprout explained that Castelobruxo in Brazil combined Herbology and Care of Magical Creatures so plants and creatures could live alongside and influence each other.
• Wizet used potion ingredients and letters from a Castelobruxo graduate to suggest that the school optimized herbs, simplifying recipes and reducing the need for ingredients.
• Sprout said Castelobruxo guarded its methods and speculated that magical contracts protected its knowledge and control of South American supplies.
• Sprout asked whether Wizet and Luna had heard anyone making magical contracts the previous night, and both denied it.
• Sprout proposed that Castelobruxo used Ritual Magic to give one ingredient the properties of another, and Wizet asked whether spells such as the Life-Gathering Spell could do the same.

Professor Sprout explained how the Life-Gathering Spell reflected flexible ways of achieving a result, helping Wizet connect ideas about Herbology, magic, and Ancient Runes. After Wizet described Ancient Runes as ripples on a lake, Sprout named the concept Harmonious Herbology and sent him to breakfast.

• Sprout told Wizet that his Life-Gathering Spell methods had helped Neville and Hannah improve in Herbology.
• Sprout explained that herbologists could use different cultivation methods to achieve the same result, and Wizet compared this to different ways of traveling by magic.
• Wizet connected Sprout’s ideas to Ancient Runes, Magic Circuits, and spells that produced similar effects, realizing he could organize and apply his magical knowledge more flexibly.
• Wizet compared Ancient Runes to ripples on a lake, and Sprout praised his understanding and named the concept Harmonious Herbology.
• Sprout discussed harmony between magic and wizards with Wizet, then noticed the late hour and told him to get breakfast.

After the Yule Ball, Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Seamus Finnigan talked over breakfast, where Fred and George teased Harry about keeping his dance partners secret. Seamus Finnigan collapsed from a burning sensation, and the Magic Firework he had been given flew toward the teachers’ table, where explosions followed as Harry and Hermione treated him with an antidote.

• Fred and George sold Seamus Finnigan a custom Magic Firework and joked that they had never revealed which dance partners Harry invited.
• Ron pressed Harry about the dance partners, and Harry spotted Snape and Karkaroff entering the Great Hall.
• Harry and Ron noticed Snape and Karkaroff seemed unwell, and Seamus Finnigan realized the House scores had fallen after Snape docked points the night before.
• Seamus Finnigan began convulsing and said he felt hot, so Hermione crushed Peppermint and Harry prepared the Broad-Spectrum Antidote.
• Seamus Finnigan recovered after Harry gave him the antidote, while his Magic Firework flew toward the teachers’ table and exploded near Karkaroff.

Harry and Ron fled the Great Hall after Snape blasted Karkaroff with Gryffindor’s lost points and Seamus’s fireworks attack. Elsewhere, Voldemort reviewed Karkaroff’s memory and concluded that Snape still appeared loyal, while Barty Crouch Jr. asked whether they should summon him.

• Snape cleared the smoke with the Whirling Wind Surge and left Karkaroff battered, ash-covered, and missing most of his goatee.
• Seamus Finnigan, Harry, and Ron escaped the Great Hall, and Harry saw that Gryffindor had lost at least three hundred points.
• Professor McGonagall arrived and heard Hermione explain that Karkaroff had poisoned Seamus before the students attacked him with Magic Fireworks.
• Snape levitated the unconscious Karkaroff toward the Hospital Wing and remarked that he needed beard-growing potion.
• Voldemort showed Barty Crouch Jr. a memory in which Karkaroff had contacted Snape, and they concluded that Snape had shown no intention of betraying Voldemort.
• Barty Crouch Jr. asked Voldemort whether they should summon Snape.

Voldemort reflected on Grindelwald’s influence and considered how foreign pure-blood families had used England as a testing ground, then ordered Barty Crouch Jr. to study books and refine his work. At Hogwarts, Harry discovered the Golden Egg’s song by submerging himself and the egg underwater, and he explained the solution to the other Champions.

• Voldemort told Barty Crouch Jr. that Snape should remain at Hogwarts and discussed how Grindelwald’s war had shaped the ambitions of pure-blood families beyond England.
• Barty Crouch Jr. asked whether Voldemort should still unite with those families, and Voldemort argued that Dumbledore’s victory had made him their enemy.
• Voldemort directed Barty Crouch Jr. to read books from a nearby bookcase and continue refining the parchment he had brought.
• Cedric, Draco, and Harry took turns studying the Golden Egg, and Harry found that it produced a song when he submerged himself and the egg underwater.
• Harry described his discovery to Wizet, Cedric, and Draco, while Draco remarked that boiling the egg sounded like something a Weasley would do.

Harry, Draco, Cedric, and Wizet analyzed the Golden Egg’s song and concluded that the second task would take place deep in the Black Lake, likely involving merpeople and the loss of their wands. Cedric then used books Cho Chang had given him to identify underwater creatures that could threaten them.

• Harry explained that the Golden Egg’s song pointed to an underwater task at the bottom of the Black Lake, where merpeople lived.
• Wizet suggested that the “treasure” the champions would lose was their wands, and Draco proposed that his father investigate tournament rules for ways to prepare in advance.
• Wizet reasoned that the tournament organizers would need to allow preparations if the champions lost their wands, and Harry and Draco agreed.
• Cedric summoned a Christmas gift from Cho Chang and realized she had given him books on underwater magical creatures because of the second task.
• Cedric read that merpeople raised Grindylows and Lobberworms, noting that Lobberworms released toxins and that the others had seen Grindylows before.

Harry, Wizet, Cedric, and Draco prepared for the second task by discussing underwater spells, Gillyweed, and dangerous magical creatures. Wizet suggested a way to stay warm in the Black Lake, but said it required mastering the Patronus Charm.

• Harry recalled Wizet using the Extraction Charm against Grindylows, and Wizet explained that underwater it became a jet of high-temperature water.
• Harry, Cedric, and Draco discussed Gillyweed as a way to breathe and move underwater if they could not use their wands.
• Cedric described dangerous underwater creatures, including Lobberworms, Kelpies, the Selma Lake Monster, and Dakuwaqa, and warned the group to avoid the most vicious ones.
• Wizet added Horned Serpents to the creatures they might encounter and explained that they could cast spells and manipulate water currents.
• Wizet said he had a way to keep warm in the Black Lake, but it required mastering the Patronus Charm.

Wizet explained how the Patronus Charm could counter the cold and despair caused by Dementors, and proposed using survival instinct to sustain it underwater. The group agreed they needed to practice, though they weighed secrecy against preparation and Cedric suggested the Prefects' Bathroom.

• Wizet asked Draco to recall the effects of the Dementors searching the Hogwarts Express, and Draco and Harry described the cold and despair they had felt.
• Draco explained that casting the Patronus Charm required holding onto a proud, honorable memory, and Wizet said the Patronus could manifest within the heart as warmth and protection.
• Wizet argued that danger underwater would trigger survival instinct, helping the group maintain the Patronus Charm until they escaped.
• Harry proposed practicing in the Black Lake, but Draco warned that the other schools' headmasters might discover their preparations.
• Cedric suggested practicing in the large pool in the Prefects' Bathroom to prepare without exposing their plans.

Wizet created a Black Lake lakebed inside a bookcase so Harry, Draco, and Cedric could practice the Patronus Charm in a harsh environment. Harry rushed in unprepared, while the others prepared to enter more cautiously.

• Draco argued that the prefects' bathroom was too comfortable to trigger survival instincts, and Wizet proposed practicing in a simulated lakebed.
• Wizet used the Harmonic Space Charm to turn a bookcase into a portal to a spacious underwater environment and added ropes for climbing back out.
• Wizet tested the space, returned to the classroom, and cleaned himself off before explaining that it recreated the Black Lake's bottom.
• Harry plunged in without using the Bubble-Head Charm, then returned coughing and shivering as Wizet and Cedric helped him recover.
• Cedric urged Harry to be cautious, and Harry cast the Bubble-Head Charm while Draco prepared to enter.
