Proceed to the Great Hall when you are ready. Upon arriving, you’ll notice the speech bubbles above some of the characters. Tap on those if you’re curious to see what they have to say. As you sit in the Great Hall, a boy will approach and introduce himself as Pieter Talli, mentioning that he’s come from the Durmstrang Institute. He’ll ask if you’re happy to see him.

There are two different options to choose from. These options will influence some dialogue that will follow, but they won’t impact the story.

He will then comment that perhaps he doesn’t quite look like the description he gave in his letter, admitting that he’s not as gifted with words as you are. He’ll add that you, on the other hand, perfectly match the description given in your letters to Durmstrang.

However, you will suggest that he tells you everything that was in those letters, so perhaps then he can figure out who he’s really looking for. To unravel the mystery, you need to earn five stars within one hour. Three stars are required to pass.

You will discover that Pieter has been receiving letters from someone claiming to be the ‘most powerful’ student at Hogwarts. He’ll add that he believes this person is you. Pieter will then explain that the letter expressed a desire to meet and that he decided to come to Hogwarts immediately. 

Furthermore, he’ll mention that you wrote back, agreed to the meeting, and provided a description that matches you perfectly.

Pieter will look confused, and you’ll explain that you’re not Merula, but you’ll offer to help him find her.

You’ll decide to head to the Courtyard to check if Merula is there. Go to the Clocktower Courtyard to continue the story. Upon arriving, you’ll notice the speech bubbles above some of the characters. Tap on those if you’re curious to see what they have to say.

When you arrive, you’ll notice the Courtyard is crowded with students. Pieter will excitedly say that he’s looking forward to finally meeting Hogwarts’ most powerful student, Merula Snyde.

Following that, you’ll suggest asking around to see if anyone knows where to find Merula. To locate, you need to earn five stars within one hour. Three stars are required to pass.

The bonus progress actions are tied to the Slytherin student. Prioritize these actions to save some energy. Slide the screen left and right to check all available actions. 

You’ll comment that based on what you’ve heard, it seems like Merula might have hidden herself, perhaps deciding to make herself scarce once she learned of Pieter’s visit. Pieter, however, won’t understand why she would do that, as he thought she was eager to meet him. 

Despite the confusion, he’ll appreciate meeting your other friends, noting that everyone at Hogwarts is quite friendly and approachable. He’ll contrast this with Durmstrang, where students are much more serious and constrained due to the strict environment. There are three different options to choose from. All of them will eventually lead to the same outcome, so feel free to take your pick.

He’ll then express his desire to see more of Hogwarts but emphasize that finding Merula is a priority. You’ll reassure him not to worry and suggest that you both speak with Professor Dumbledore, as he might be able to help locate Merula.

Proceed to Dumbledore’s Office when you are ready. You’ll thank Professor Dumbledore for agreeing to meet with you and explain that you need his assistance. You’ll then introduce Pieter to him, highlighting the urgency of finding Merula.

The Headmaster will say that he wishes he could help you locate Miss Snyde, but he’s afraid he cannot, as he does not know her whereabouts. He’ll then suggest and ask how you would feel about showing Mr. Talli around Hogwarts instead. There are three different options to choose from. These options will influence some dialogue that will follow, but they won’t impact the story.

Following that, Dumbledore will acknowledge that your job isn’t typically to give tours of the school but will express his confidence that you are the best person for the task. The Headmaster will then ask Pieter to step outside for a private conversation with you. 

Once Pieter leaves the office, you’ll mention how obliging he is, and Professor Dumbledore will agree, noting that things are quite strict at Durmstrang and that the atmosphere at Hogwarts is very different.

To learn about Durmstrang, you need to earn five stars within three hours. All five stars are required to pass. Since this task requires a lot of energy, it is recommended to start it with a full energy bar.

Professor Dumbledore will share that he had a friend who was led astray by Durmstrang’s strict and unyielding approach to study. He will express his concern that Pieter might face a similar fate if he doesn’t experience the broader spectrum of what the world has to offer.

You will express your sympathy to Professor Dumbledore, and he will respond by hoping that the tour with Pieter will go well and that he will come to understand the important and fundamental aspects of life.

You will agree with Professor Dumbledore but mention that you first need to get to know Pieter better. You’ll then get the idea that playing a game of Gobstones could be a fun and engaging way to learn more about your new friend.

Go to the Clocktower Courtyard to continue the story. Upon arriving, you’ll notice the speech bubbles above some of the characters. Tap on those if you’re curious to see what they have to say. When you arrive, you’ll ask Pieter if he’s ready for the tour of Hogwarts. He’ll respond affirmatively, adding that not every Durmstrang student would be as charmed by Hogwarts as he is.

You’ll comment that you’ve learned his favorite parts of studying at Durmstrang are dueling and flying, while he’ll add that he has an affection for athletics of all kinds. He’ll then ask if you feel the same way, wondering if you also enjoy athletics as much as he does. There are three different options to choose from. These options will influence some dialogue that will follow, but they won’t impact the story.

He’ll then add that Durmstrang can be challenging, but it’s a good place for athletic students like himself, as their professors place a big emphasis on physical feats. He’ll mention that one of the first things they learn is the Durmstrang processional!
