Chapter Summaries

Wizet and Dumbledore investigated the Riddle House and discovered that Voldemort had hidden magical traps behind the blank painting. Wizet used Parseltongue to restore the study and open a passage through the house, leaving them to explore further.

• Andrew led Wizet and Dumbledore to the study and showed them the blank painting rumored to have driven the house’s former masters mad.
• After Andrew left, Wizet identified the painting as the likely entrance to Voldemort Manor and proposed that the former residents had sensed its magic.
• Wizet released magical ripples and spoke Parseltongue, activating the hidden mechanism and restoring the ruined study, including the painting bearing Voldemort’s Dark Mark.
• Wizet explained that Voldemort had likely left Parseltongue passages to bypass the magical traps he had designed.
• Wizet spoke Parseltongue to the restored double doors, opened them, and began probing the corridor and sitting room with his wand.

Wizet and Dumbledore entered Riddle House to retrieve Voldemort’s Horcrux ring and discussed the possibility that Voldemort might arrive with Herpo. After Wizet opened the cursed, bewitching box with Parseltongue, Dumbledore reacted with shocked, hurried breathing.

• Wizet and Dumbledore examined the manor’s magical traps and compared them with the trials in Voldemort’s cave.
• Dumbledore told Wizet that Voldemort might come to the manor with Herpo, and that Wizet could help drive them back.
• Wizet and Dumbledore found a box protected by a powerful curse and bewitching mental magic.
• Wizet used Parseltongue to open the box and reveal the Horcrux ring.
• Dumbledore stared at the ring and said, “Impossible... impossible...” in an unfamiliar, hurried voice.

At Voldemort Manor, Dumbledore desperately tried to seize the Horcrux ring, forcing Wizet to fight him and confront Dumbledore’s powerful Soul Power. Wizet began searching for a way to break the strange world created by Dumbledore’s magic, and ended by considering the opposing relationship between Voldemort and someone else.

• Dumbledore lunged for the cursed Horcrux ring, but Wizet knocked its case away and warned him not to touch it.
• Wizet summoned the case with Ancient Magic and kept it suspended in flames while Dumbledore attacked him with fire.
• Wizet countered Dumbledore’s fire, then struck him with lightning and a volley of red spells.
• A faint click plunged Voldemort Manor into a soundless, colorless world shaped by Dumbledore’s Soul Power.
• Wizet spread his own Soul Power, studied the world’s corrosive heat and ice, and considered using Sympathetic Magic to escape its assimilation.
• Wizet began wondering whether Voldemort and another person, like Harry and Voldemort, were in an antagonistic relationship.

Wizet broke Dumbledore’s soul-powered magical field by absorbing its phoenix-compatible heat waves and disrupting their balance with the ice crystals. Back in Voldemort Manor, Dumbledore admitted he had nearly made an irreparable mistake, then revealed the Horcrux ring was connected to the Resurrection Stone.

• Wizet used his magical knowledge as an anchor and absorbed the field’s heat waves with his phoenix gift.
• The heat waves and ice crystals lost their balance, causing Dumbledore’s magical energy field to shake and dissipate.
• Wizet emerged in Voldemort Manor beside a pale, exhausted Dumbledore and a cracked, smoking object.
• Dumbledore regretted losing control and thanked Wizet for stopping him from making an irreparable mistake.
• Dumbledore explained that the Horcrux ring was tied to an ancient legend and asked Wizet if he knew of the Resurrection Stone.

Dumbledore recovered from the Resurrection Stone’s influence and discussed the Deathly Hallows with Wizet. Wizet gave Dumbledore a magical artifact that could amplify soul power, leaving its purpose for further discussion.

• Dumbledore recognized the black gemstone as the Resurrection Stone and recalled his childhood love of The Tale of the Three Brothers.
• Wizet and Dumbledore joked about Aberforth, and Dumbledore thanked Wizet for helping him regain his senses.
• Dumbledore looked at the Resurrection Stone again and asked Wizet whether the three magical artifacts from the tale had truly existed.
• Wizet explained his belief that the artifacts were real and described how belief could make magic manifest; Dumbledore said he would research the Resurrection Stone and Cloak of Invisibility.
• Wizet handed Dumbledore a lighter-like magical artifact that could amplify soul power and create a magical energy field.

Dumbledore explained that he had used the Deluminator and his soul power while acting on instinct, and Wizet revealed that he had repaired the device. Wizet also said he had finally identified a missing principle behind Voldemort’s Flight Charm, and they prepared to return for dinner.

• Dumbledore explained that he had used the Deluminator to pursue the Resurrection Stone and reflected on how Wizet had restored his clarity.
• Dumbledore discovered that Wizet had repaired the Deluminator, and Wizet explained how he had used what he learned at Beauxbatons.
• Dumbledore praised Wizet for his efforts, and Wizet said studying Voldemort’s magical path had helped him understand the Flight Charm.
• Wizet explained that observing Voldemort’s “I Alone Am Supreme” path had revealed the missing piece in his Flight Charm research.
• Dumbledore suggested they return to Hogwarts for dinner, and Wizet agreed.

Wizet discovered that Voldemort’s Flight Charm relied on his magical path of imposing his own will on materials, which let him create the charm with few resources. After explaining the method to Dumbledore, Wizet left him with a completed training method and an account of how Voldemort adapted ingredients to suit his needs.

• Wizet connected Voldemort’s magical path, "I alone reign supreme," to the way he had designed the Flight Charm by reshaping materials through will and magical knowledge.
• Wizet brought his completed Flight Charm training method to Dumbledore in the Headmaster’s Office.
• Dumbledore reviewed the ingredient list and remarked that Voldemort’s method was frugal, since many of its materials could be gathered in the Forbidden Forest, Black Lake, or at the seashore.
• Wizet explained that Voldemort had assigned materials different magical properties from those potion makers or alchemists normally used, according to his own purposes.
• Wizet said Voldemort had likely substituted Fire Salamander blood for unavailable Phoenix Tears and used mixed venom instead of Basilisk venom.

Wizet and Dumbledore analyzed Voldemort’s Flight Charm and bloodline magic, leading Wizet to connect Voldemort’s Chamber of Secrets experiment to Paracelsus’s dangerous alchemy for cultivating a little man in a bottle. The chapter ended with Dumbledore asking whether Voldemort had used an Ashwinder to gestate himself anew.

• Dumbledore and Wizet discussed how Voldemort’s search into his origins had led him to ancient, dangerous bloodline magic.
• Dumbledore’s remarks about Voldemort’s mother inspired Wizet to reconsider the purpose of the Flight Charm and its link to Voldemort’s actions in the Chamber of Secrets.
• Wizet explained that Paracelsus had tried to cultivate a little man in a bottle to repair soul damage, but the creature had tried to devour him and take his place.
• Dumbledore recalled that he had also attempted to create a little man in a bottle, which had sought to become the new Albus Dumbledore.
• Wizet proposed that Voldemort had used his own bodily materials, ingredients from other creatures, and an Ashwinder to create a similar being.
• Dumbledore asked whether Voldemort had used the Ashwinder to gestate himself anew.

Wizet explained to Dumbledore how Voldemort used Ashwinders, mirrors, and ritual magic to create a homunculus version of himself through the Flight Charm. The process had reached its final step, which involved combining the Ashwinder-born heart with the Draught of Living Death.

• Wizet explained that Voldemort used an Ashwinder to process potion ingredients and simulate his own birth, ending its life before it laid an egg and completing the incubation himself.
• Wizet and Dumbledore concluded that the Flight Charm’s first stage used Horcrux principles, possession, and homunculus magic to create a version of Voldemort inside the Ashwinder egg.
• Wizet explained that Voldemort placed the Ashwinder in a mirrored container and used six repeated gestations to erase its identity and make the homunculus resemble himself.
• Wizet said the seventh gestation would produce a heart bearing the homunculus Voldemort’s soul, and Dumbledore recognized the role of Voldemort’s skill in bloodline magic.
• Dumbledore called the final step insane, and Wizet noted that it involved taking the Ashwinder-born heart together with the Draught of Living Death.

Wizet explained how Voldemort used the Draught of Living Death to put himself into a deathlike slumber while a homunculus consumed him, hoping to devour his own creation and advance his magical path. After discussing the dangers of Voldemort’s Flight Charm, Wizet told Dumbledore he wanted to improve it, and Dumbledore asked whether he already had an idea.

• Wizet contrasted his use of the Draught of Living Death to improve the Animagus potion with Voldemort’s use of it in his attempt to devour a homunculus.
• Voldemort nurtured the “Voldemort-in-a-bottle” seven times so it would develop an extreme urge to possess and devour him.
• Wizet explained to Dumbledore that Voldemort’s Horcruxes made the dangerous contest far less fair than it appeared.
• Dumbledore warned that Voldemort’s Flight Charm was dangerous to practice and required a powerful magical anchor.
• Wizet said he had not shared the Flight Charm and wanted to analyze and improve it, prompting Dumbledore to ask whether he already had an idea.

Wizet explained that he and Dumbledore could develop a Flight Charm through openness and magical resonance with an item, rather than copying Voldemort’s self-centered method. He proposed that flight depended on defining what flight meant and offered to demonstrate the idea using a stone.

• Wizet described Voldemort’s Flight Charm as making the outside world revolve around him, while Dumbledore recognized how it reflected Voldemort’s magical path.
• Wizet proposed the opposite approach: opening themselves to the world and using an item to create resonance with their souls and magical paths.
• Dumbledore recalled Wizet’s warning that the Philosopher’s Stone could influence someone who failed to control it, and asked whether Wizet intended to guide such an influence.
• Wizet said resonance could connect them to currents in the outside world, letting the will’s direction become the body’s destination.
• Dumbledore asked whether a stone could help him fly, and Wizet argued that flight depended on defining what flight was before proposing a demonstration.

Wizet explained to Dumbledore how resonance with an object could teach the soul to fly, then used his silver short sword to demonstrate. He proposed practicing resonance with an object's parts and asked Dumbledore about earrings made from Dirigible Plums.

• Wizet showed Dumbledore a silver short sword he had made through magical forging and explained its connection to resonance.
• Wizet described how an object could teach the soul to understand flight, and Dumbledore realized that the soul itself produced the ability to fly.
• Wizet resonated with the sword's point and briefly flew through the air, then returned to his original position.
• Wizet resonated with the sword's blade to cut through the ground's restraints, appearing by the window before tracing a curved path back.
• Wizet suggested practicing resonance with individual parts of an object, then asked Dumbledore what Dirigible Plum earrings could do.

Wizet explained to Dumbledore how external anchors could help wizards explore their souls without becoming dependent on them, and Dumbledore recognized the promise of Wizet’s approach. After McGonagall and Quirrell left the Headmaster’s Office, Dumbledore revealed that his spell test had ended with the Sword of Gryffindor embedded in the wall.

• Wizet described how Luna and her Dirigible Plums had helped him understand resonance as an anchor for developing the soul and magical ability.
• Wizet connected inward soul exploration with external connections, arguing that the outside world could help shape the soul and that a strong soul could influence the world through magic.
• Dumbledore praised Wizet’s ideas and privately considered the potential of his magical path and soul research.
• McGonagall and Quirinus Quirrell brought paperwork to Dumbledore, heard a thud, and asked whether something had happened.
• Dumbledore reassured them that a spell-testing accident was resolved, then looked at the Sword of Gryffindor embedded in the wall and admitted that mastering the Flight Charm would be difficult.

Wizet shared his improved Flight Charm training method with Hogwarts professors and M.S.C. members, while Moody warned him not to spread it too widely. After Fred and George failed to find resonance with their sofa and went searching elsewhere, Wizet and Luna were left alone in the Mystic Corridor, where he drew her into his embrace.

• Wizet shared his improved Flight Charm training method with several professors and M.S.C. members, while Moody urged him to keep it from spreading too widely.
• Wizet explained that M.S.C. members could seek objects that resonated with them to help them understand their souls and practice the Flight Charm.
• Neville and the others planned to search Hogwarts, the Black Lake, and the Forbidden Forest for objects that might resonate with them.
• Fred and George tried to find resonance with the sofa they associated with creative inspiration, but discovered that hanging upside down only made them light-headed.
• Fred and George decided to search outside the Mystic Corridor, leaving Wizet and Luna alone there.
• Wizet slouched on the sofa, offered Luna his hand, and drew her into his embrace.

Wizet and Luna cuddled on the sofa and discussed Fred and George’s theory that sofas helped people dream and find inspiration. Luna decided that the source of “resonance” was each other, then held Wizet from behind before they settled down to sleep.

• Wizet covered Luna with a blanket, and they cuddled together on the sofa.
• Luna said the sofa theory seemed to help because she was starting to feel sleepy.
• Wizet suggested that discovering the cause of resonance was more fitting than finding it, then invited Luna to guess.
• Luna guessed that the source was each other and asked to hold Wizet the way he had held her during summer break.
• Luna compared hugging Wizet to holding a teddy bear but said he was “Wizet-level,” specially made for her.
• Wizet told Luna to sleep, and she closed her eyes while resting against his back.

Wizet and Luna shared a playful morning after waking, then celebrated Luna learning the Flight Charm by trying it together. The chapter ended with them floating close together in the air.

• Wizet woke beside Luna, teased her gently, and told her the fairy tale of Sleeping Beauty until she opened her eyes.
• Luna urged Wizet to get up, then pretended to tell him Sleeping Beauty while he feigned sleep and let her wake him.
• Luna told Wizet she had learned the Flight Charm, and they recalled their promise in Sweden to fly together someday.
• Luna used the Flight Charm to rise into the air, and Wizet joined her, holding her around the waist as they floated together.

Wizet explained to Filch why his Emotion Collector was filling more slowly than Arabella's and how it would help turn him into a wizard. The chapter left Filch realizing that avoiding Fred and George had reduced the negative emotions the device collected.

• Wizet left the Mystic Corridor after dancing with Luna and met Filch, who showed him the Emotion Collector he had been carrying.
• Filch compared his collector, which had reached only one, with Arabella's and worried that he had slowed its progress.
• Wizet explained that the collector gathered negative emotions to create a Dark Magic creature, which would be used in a plan to transform a Squib into a wizard.
• Wizet suggested Filch's progress had slowed because he could now cast spells and had grown calmer, and Filch recalled that the scale rose when Fred and George caused trouble.
• Filch admitted he had been avoiding Fred and George to protect the collector, and Wizet told him they thought he had become less interesting.

Filch told Wizet that a North American branch of the Squib Support Association suspected Squibs were among the core members of several mysterious organizations, and Ms Ockbai planned to investigate. Later, Wizet brewed an advanced potion successfully for Snape, who asked how Wizet’s formula improvement was progressing.

• Filch told Wizet that the Squib Support Association’s North American branch suspected several mysterious organizations had Squib core members, and Ms Ockbai planned to verify the report.
• Peeves startled students in the corridor, and Filch left to deal with him while Wizet went to class.
• Wizet brewed an advanced potion in Snape’s office, carefully preparing dates so their pits could provide the potion’s protective property without releasing decay.
• Snape tested the potion on a shriveled black toad, which recovered before Snape made it vanish.
• Snape asked Wizet how his work improving the potion formula was coming along.

Wizet gave Snape a new Polyjuice Potion formula that cut the brewing time to three hours, and Snape studied its unfamiliar ingredient-processing methods. Snape traced the techniques to books Headmaster Kamba had lent Wizet and questioned him about how he had developed the formula.

• Wizet handed Snape his latest potion formula and cleaned the brewing equipment while Snape examined it.
• Snape noticed that the formula was much shorter than the previous version and discovered it could reduce the brewing time to three hours.
• Snape reconstructed Wizet’s unusual methods for processing ingredients by studying the brewing instructions and potion changes.
• Snape asked Wizet where he had learned to prepare Fluid-Flowing Grass and Double-Eared Grass, and Wizet named a book lent by Headmaster Kamba.
• Wizet told Snape that another book lent by Headmaster Kamba had guided his use of Lacewing Fly and dragon-scale powder, and that he had calculated the resting time with Arithmancy and other books.

Wizet refined his potion formula with Snape’s guidance, realizing that adding the drinker’s saliva would address its toxicity and strengthen its connection to the drinker. Snape, having little left to teach, deducted a point from Ravenclaw, leaving Wizet wondering whether his analysis was still flawed.

• Wizet explained how hair, blood, and Mandrake root anchored the drinker’s soul and stabilized the potion.
• Snape pointed out that adding an animal body part made the potion a poison and asked Wizet to reconsider the formula.
• Wizet used Arithmancy to recognize that he had overlooked Golpalott’s Third Law.
• Wizet proposed adding the drinker’s saliva, explaining how Canary Cream principles could counter the potion’s toxicity and how saliva could improve its connection to the drinker.
• Snape realized Wizet had already given the guidance he intended to offer, deducted one point from Ravenclaw, and left Wizet asking whether his analysis had shortcomings.
