Chapter Summaries

Wizet read Dumbledore’s Notebook about the history of England’s Ministers of Magic and their policies, from the founding of the Ministry through the early twentieth century. The account ended with Gellert Grindelwald’s rise, which the Ministry’s passive response had allowed to grow after his speech at Père Lachaise Cemetery.

• Wizet recalled that Dumbledore had asked his opinion about the Ministry and the Daily Prophet’s attacks, and Wizet had agreed that Cornelius Fudge’s Ministry was hostile toward Dumbledore.
• Dumbledore’s Notebook described how early Ministers Yurick Gamp, Damocles Rowle, and Perseus Parkinson shaped wizarding policies and how Eldritch Diggory’s Auror Recruitment Plan gave the Ministry practical control over the Wizengamot.
• The Notebook recounted Maximilian Crowdy’s fight against pure-blood extremists and how Unctuous Osbert, supported by the Malfoy family and other families, spread pure-blood supremacy.
• Ottaline Gambol promoted Muggle research and created the Hogwarts Express, while later Ministers Evangeline Orpington and Dugald McPhail developed Platform 9 3/4 and the Knight Bus.
• Archer Evermonde tried to keep wizards out of the First World War, but wizards who aided Muggles witnessed Muggle destructive power and changed their views.
• Ministers of Magic failed to take Gellert Grindelwald seriously or respond proactively, allowing his influence to grow after his speech at Père Lachaise Cemetery.

Wizet finished reading Dumbledore’s notebook and discussed what its history of Ministers for Magic revealed about secrecy, Muggles, and wizarding society. He concluded that wizards had become contradictory, and Dumbledore asked him to explain why.

• Wizet finished the notebook, praised it, and observed that its material from the twentieth century seemed to have been added later.
• Dumbledore explained that he had written the earlier material when he was young, then continued the notebook simply to see how long he could keep writing.
• Dumbledore asked what mattered most to the wizarding world, and Wizet identified the International Confederation of Wizards Statute of Secrecy.
• Wizet noted that Ministers had prioritized concealment and described how Yurick Gamp, Damocles Rowle, and Perseus Parkinson had dealt with Muggles and the Statute of Secrecy.
• Wizet said wizards had become contradictory, contrasting Ottaline Gambol’s introduction of the Hogwarts Express with Josephina Flint’s opposition to technology.

Wizet explained to Dumbledore how fear of Muggle technology and the contradictions of the International Statute of Secrecy shaped wizarding politics and helped Grindelwald and Voldemort gain support. He argued that Minister Hector Fawley had deliberately encouraged other Ministers to underestimate Grindelwald, allowing his power to grow.

• Dumbledore and Wizet discussed how successive Ministers for Magic took opposing positions on Muggle research and technology, from Ottaline Gambol’s committee to the Knight Bus and Platform 9 3/4.
• Dumbledore recalled that the wizarding world’s long peace had ended as the Muggle world wars and the Wizarding World War reshaped relations between wizards and Muggles.
• Wizet said wizards who had witnessed Muggle warfare feared its destructive power, and Grindelwald turned that fear into a supposed mission for wizards to protect Muggles as the Chosen One.
• Wizet argued that the International Statute of Secrecy could not erase the lasting fear of Muggle power, which surfaced in Nobby Leach’s resignation and later merged with pure-blood supremacism.
• Wizet connected several Ministers for Magic and their policies to the Sacred Twenty-Eight families, whose descendants became Death Eaters.
• Wizet suggested that Hector Fawley had helped Grindelwald rise by making other Ministers believe he posed little danger, leading them to commit too few resources against him.

Wizet and Dumbledore discussed the factions behind past Ministry policies and how Grindelwald gained support by appealing to different groups. Wizet concluded that, like wizards who combined older forms of magic with wandcasting, he might not have to choose a single position.

• Dumbledore explained that Hector Fawley had allowed Gellert to grow unchecked because they shared pure-blood supremacist beliefs, and Wizet answered with Ayo's story of lions uniting against hyenas.
• Wizet recognized that the formula giving Squibs the ability to cast magic could transform the balance between competing groups.
• Wizet described pure-blood supremacists, reform-minded Ministers, and the stability faction, arguing that the stability faction had been the Ministry's silent majority.
• Dumbledore asked Wizet what he would choose, and Wizet said he might not have to choose because his circumstances were both similar to and different from Gellert Grindelwald's.
• Wizet recalled Ollivander's account of wizards combining potions, Ritual Magic, and bloodline magic with wandcasting to create new forms of magic.

Wizet and Dumbledore discussed gradually introducing magic that could turn Squibs into wizards, beginning with a safer ritual and building support. Dumbledore gave Wizet compiled notes on Consensus Magic, which Wizet began studying eagerly.

• Wizet and Dumbledore considered how turning Squibs into wizards could affect pure-blood families, reformists, and Voldemort.
• Wizet proposed first using a safer method to change Squibs, since his Ritual Magic formula was incomplete and relied on a Lycanthropy bloodline curse.
• Dumbledore agreed that successful examples such as Filch could help Wizet build support for the wider magic.
• Dumbledore gave Wizet notebooks of Consensus Magic research compiled with Headmaster Kamba.
• Wizet thanked Dumbledore and began reading the notes quickly.

Wizet explained his two methods for helping Squibs cast magic and told the M.S.C. that the Dependency Connection Ritual could soon be put into use. He asked the members to help fund and carry out the work, while the Magic Revival Agent still needed refinement.

• Wizet decided to keep the methods and the Butrielle and Extendable Ear involved in them secret, warning Dumbledore that others might blame him if anything went wrong.
• Aberforth Dumbledore welcomed Fred and George and the other M.S.C. members to the Hog's Head Inn, where they found Wizet's topics written on the blackboard.
• Wizet explained that the Dependency Connection Ritual could let a Squib cast magic through a connection with a pet, and that Filch and Mrs Norris were already testing it.
• Wizet described the Magic Revival Agent as a method using a detoxified Lycanthropy bloodline curse to grant magic by tearing apart the user's soul.
• Wizet told the M.S.C. that Squib bloodlines might exist among hundreds of millions of Muggles and asked the members to join him in helping Squibs, since the ritual's costs would be difficult for him to cover alone.

Wizet proposed helping Squibs regain the ability to use magic and recruiting those who completed the Dependency Connection Ritual. The group joined his cause and discussed using their Hogwarts connections to develop materials for the ritual and the Magic Revival Agent.

• Wizet explained that helping Squibs could give them a new life and earn the group's support, while Sirius Black saw it as a way to solve their manpower shortage.
• Lupin recalled how abandoned Squibs had helped him during his hardest days and told Wizet he wanted to join the cause.
• Sirius Black, Neville, Fred, George, Luna, and Hannah also pledged to help, offering funding, publicity, and posters.
• Wizet explained that the group should preserve the uniqueness of the Dependency Connection Ritual and Magic Revival Agent and develop the materials they required.
• Neville suggested that Hogwarts students could ask professors for help, and Fred and George joked with Sirius Black about returning to school alongside Filch.

Wizet used Headmaster Kamba’s research on African consensus magic and Uagadou’s Dream Messenger ritual to develop ideas for the Dependency Connection Ritual and Magic Revival Agent. He explained how ritual magic could guide the cultivation of magical plants, and Hannah and Neville began considering how moonlight might affect them.

• Wizet and Luna read Headmaster Kamba’s notebooks and learned that Uagadou’s Dream Messenger ritual drew on magic connected to African Muggle altars and worship.
• Wizet speculated that consensus magic could produce Dark Magic creatures such as Red Caps and could function as a network for rituals.
• Wizet explained to Neville, Fred, George, and Hannah that ritual magic, like alchemy and potions, could achieve a desired result through a carefully guided process.
• Wizet described using runes, spells, magical plants, and creatures to cultivate plants for the Dependency Connection Ritual and Magic Revival Agent.
• Hannah connected moonlight to Luna’s research and Animagus practice, while Neville wondered whether growing moon-influenced plants would require a full-moon environment.

Wizet explained how Ritual Magic could imitate a full-moon environment using materials and magical creatures, producing Mooncalf dung with the effects of a full moon. Sirius realized the same method could create environments for other magical plants, and Wizet confirmed that the Harmonic Space Charm could help.

• Wizet explained that Ritual Magic imitated natural phenomena and that the right materials could create a full-moon environment.
• Wizet and Luna described how fairy eggs reflected in water made Mooncalves dance and produced unusually effective Mooncalf dung and thriving Moondew Flowers.
• Sirius teased Wizet and Luna about collecting flowers, dung, and Moonstones during their dates in the Forbidden Forest, while Fred and George joined in.
• Sirius deduced that the ritual’s goal was to create an environment with full-moon effects, and Wizet confirmed that similar rituals could benefit other magical plants.
• Wizet explained that the Harmonic Space Charm could help create suitable environments more efficiently.

Wizet explained the Dependency Connection Ritual and Magic Revival Agent to M.S.C., whose members began gathering books and research to support the work. After the meeting, Wizet told Lupin that a ritual he was preparing might offer a chance to cure Lycanthropy, leaving Lupin overwhelmed with hope.

• Wizet taught M.S.C. about the Dependency Connection Ritual and Magic Revival Agent, and the group agreed to continue their discussion the following weekend.
• Neville, Hannah, Sirius, Fred, and George contacted their families to gather books and information that could help with the research.
• After the meeting, Lupin told Wizet that his father’s unpublished research on Dark creatures might be available to him.
• Wizet asked when M.S.C.’s werewolf employees could return from North America, then revealed that his ritual might help cure Lycanthropy.
• Lupin struggled to contain his reaction and asked Wizet whether curing Lycanthropy was truly possible.

Wizet told Lupin he would research Dark Magic creatures, giving Lupin hope that Lycanthropy might be cured. After Lupin broke down at Grimmauld Place, Wizet invited Luna to Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop for a date.

• Wizet said he would gather research materials on Dark Magic creatures, and Lupin became overwhelmed by the possibility that Lycanthropy could be cured.
• Wizet healed Lupin's bleeding palms, and Lupin returned to Number 12, Grimmauld Place in a flustered state.
• Kreacher saw Lupin sobbing in his bedroom, and Regulus Black told Kreacher to keep it secret.
• Wizet noticed Cedric and Cho Chang entering Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop and realized he had never taken Luna there.
• Wizet suggested that he and Luna go into the tea shop, and Luna blushed as she mentioned hearing Amica and the others talk about it.

Wizet took Luna to Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop, where the pink atmosphere and shared ice cream made their visit feel intimate. After learning why the shop charged more, he and Luna blushed as they shared spoonfuls together.

• Wizet and Luna entered Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop and sat at a small table beneath the flying decorations.
• Wizet ordered butterfly pea flower vanilla ice cream and lemon soda ice cream for them.
• Wizet noticed that the ice cream came with only one spoon, as did the other couples' desserts.
• Wizet fed Luna a spoonful of ice cream, then tasted the lemon soda flavor himself.
• Luna realized Wizet had eaten from the shared spoon and blushed, but accepted another spoonful from him.

Wizet and Luna spent a sweet afternoon together in Hogsmeade before the approaching exams brought a sudden increase in homework. Professor Flitwick told Wizet that the champions would learn the third task at the Quidditch Pitch that night, where he and the others gathered to hear the announcement.

• Luna and Wizet shared ice cream and a butter biscuit at Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop, then watched the sunset together near the Forbidden Forest.
• Wizet and his Ravenclaw dormmates noticed that the professors had assigned substantially more homework than in previous years.
• Wizet told his dormmates that Professor Flitwick had summoned everyone to the Quidditch Pitch at nine to learn about the third task.
• Wizet arranged to meet Harry and the others in the Entrance Hall before they headed to the Quidditch Pitch.
• Cedric worried that the Quidditch Pitch might be the third task's venue, while Wizet reassured him that it could be restored afterward.
• Wizet and the others arrived near the Quidditch Pitch and saw Hagrid approaching in a cheerful mood.

Hagrid accidentally revealed that the third task would include dangerous magical creatures, and Wizet, Harry, Cedric, and Draco discussed ways to handle them as they headed to the Quidditch Pitch. Ludo Bagman greeted them there and kept talking while the Champions gathered.

• Hagrid told Wizet and Harry that the third task would include Re'ems, Tebos, Runespoors, Sphinxes, Buckbeak, and Blast-Ended Skrewts, then warned them to keep the information confidential.
• Wizet, Cedric, Harry, and Draco discussed how to evade or deal with Runespoors, invisible Tebos, Re'ems, and Sphinxes.
• Wizet and the others reached the Quidditch Pitch, where Ludo Bagman greeted them as the first arrivals and talked until the Champions assembled.

Ludo Bagman explained the Five-Wizard Tournament’s final task: Champions would navigate a magically created maze, retrieve its Portkey trophy, and hold it for five minutes. The rules barred maze damage and flight, and the Champions learned that attacking one another would be allowed under protective measures.

• Harry noticed Wizet studying strange markings across the Quidditch Pitch, and Wizet identified them as a Beauxbatons alchemical magic circle intended to create a temporary building.
• Ludo Bagman announced that Beauxbatons would provide the maze’s alchemy, while a friend of Castelobruxo would design it, and warned Champions not to damage it or use flight.
• The Champions suspected the restrictions were aimed at Wizet and Uagadou, but Wizet calmly shook his head and recalled that his earlier damage to the Black Lake had resulted from his experiments with consensus magic.
• Ludo Bagman explained that Hogwarts, Uagadou, and Ilvermorny would place traps and dangerous magical creatures in the maze, with judges inspecting and adjusting their positions.
• Ludo Bagman said Champions had to hold the trophy, which was a Portkey, for five minutes before it transported them to the podium, and confirmed they could attack one another under protective measures provided by Durmstrang and inspected by the Ministry of Magic.

The Champions learned the maze’s rules, including that they could attack one another and use some Dark Magic if they could undo its effects. Back at Hogwarts, Filch tearfully told Wizet that he could cast magic.

• Ludo Bagman explained that Dark Magic could be used in the maze, but Champions had to be able to reverse its effects or face disqualification.
• Ludo Bagman said violations would delay a team’s entry by thirty minutes, while earlier scores determined the teams’ staggered starting order.
• Ludo Bagman explained that Champions would enter through separate entrances with their wands, and Mr. Lovegood would need two others to help him lift the trophy.
• Draco mocked Ludo Bagman for his uncertainty, and Harry discussed the maze’s dangers with Cedric as they returned to Hogwarts.
• Filch rushed up to Wizet with Mrs Norris and, overcome with joy, revealed that he could cast magic.

Wizet helped Filch discover that he could cast the Four-Point Spell through his bond with Mrs Norris, even using a branch instead of his Fake Wand. Filch could currently cast only that spell, but Wizet said it might be the beginning of learning others.

• Filch demonstrated that his Fake Wand could cast the Four-Point Spell, and Cedric realized Filch could direct it toward a place he had in mind.
• Wizet asked Filch to put away the Fake Wand, then gave him a branch to try the spell; Filch successfully made it point toward the Great Hall.
• Cedric, Draco, and Harry mistook Filch’s use of the branch for wandless magic, but Wizet explained that Mrs Norris served as Filch’s wand through the Dependency Connection Ritual.
• Wizet explained that Mrs Norris’s faint Kneazle blood likely gave Filch a talent for finding directions, which enabled him to cast the Four-Point Spell.
• Wizet said Filch could only cast the Four-Point Spell for now, but he might learn other spells as well.

Wizet explained the dangerous, costly ritual that could turn Filch into a wizard and urged him to consider Mrs Norris before attempting it. On his way back to the common room, Wizet found Harry suffering from pain in his scar and discovered a strange connection extending from it, leading him to suspect that a fragment of Voldemort’s soul was inside Harry.

• Draco asked Wizet about the cost and requirements of the Dependency Connection Ritual, and Wizet explained that its potions cost little but the ritual required difficult conditions.
• Wizet estimated that turning a Squib into a wizard would cost about as much as two Firebolts, but refused Filch’s offer to risk his life because the formula remained dangerous and Filch had Mrs Norris to consider.
• Dumbledore arrived with custard biscuits and reminded Filch that Hogwarts needed his help.
• Wizet found Harry clutching his scar and writhing in pain, then used Silent Wound to ease his suffering and Blood Pact Knight to carry him.
• Wizet checked the Marauder’s Map and found no sign of Voldemort nearby, then used the Magic Eye and Soul Stone monocle to see a dark green thread stretching from Harry’s scar beyond the window.
• Wizet considered whether a fragment of Voldemort’s soul was inside Harry’s scar and recalled how Voldemort’s Horcruxes had split and destabilized his soul.

Wizet deduced that Voldemort’s rebounding Killing Curse had torn off a soul fragment that entered Harry’s scar, making Harry effectively a Horcrux and giving him Parseltongue. He brought Harry to Dumbledore, who confirmed he had suspected the fragment and revealed that his plan involving Voldemort’s resurrection had taken shape only after Wizet told him about the Horcruxes.

• Wizet reasoned that Lily’s protection had caused the Killing Curse’s death vortex to tear off a fragment of Voldemort’s unstable soul, which entered Harry’s scar and formed a symbiotic connection.
• Wizet realized Harry could count as a Horcrux through the principles of Sympathetic Magic and warned that Voldemort might survive even if his other Horcruxes were destroyed.
• Wizet took Harry, who was in pain, to Dumbledore, and explained that he had used the Silent Wound Spell to ease Harry’s suffering.
• Wizet told Dumbledore that his Magic Eye had revealed a Voldemort soul fragment in Harry’s scar, and Dumbledore admitted he had guessed it was there.
• Wizet asked whether Dumbledore’s plan was to make Voldemort destroy his own soul fragment, and Dumbledore said the idea came after Wizet revealed Voldemort had made multiple Horcruxes.

Dumbledore explained that Voldemort’s choice of Harry was prompted by Sybill Trelawney’s prophecy, while Wizet recognized similarities to the prophecy concerning himself and declared he was prepared to face what lay ahead. Harry then woke and announced that he had seen Voldemort come back to life.

• Dumbledore told Wizet that Harry’s connection to Voldemort was confirmed when Harry encountered him at the Philosopher’s Stone.
• Wizet proposed that collective resistance to Voldemort’s oppression made Harry his nemesis, and Dumbledore identified a prophecy as the trigger for Voldemort’s choice.
• Dumbledore showed Wizet Sybill Trelawney’s prophecy about a child born as the seventh month died to parents who had defied Voldemort three times.
• Wizet noted that Neville could also fit the prophecy and saw parallels with the prophecy about himself.
• Wizet said he was ready to face what must come, and Dumbledore expressed confidence in him.
• Harry woke unable to speak until Wizet cast Finite Incantatem, then said he had seen Voldemort come back to life.
