Chapter 7 – Case Two: Fraudulence, Files, And Fashion

Introduction

Hello everyone, welcome to our Walkthrough for Chapter Seven of Beyond Hogwarts: Volume One of Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery. In the previous chapter, you and Ruby teamed up for a new case, unlocking Specializations like Auror, Magizoologist, and Healer. You found out that your brother Jacob decided not to live with you and he told you that he found his place.

A little later, you will meet Merula and see that she has found another job at Zonko’s. After that, Tulip, whom you haven’t seen in a long time, will arrive and you will find out that she is the inventor of joke products. This makes Merula uncomfortable about her own job, leading her to leave Zonko’s.

You followed Merula to talk but ran into Talbot and Jae along the way, and you learned about their jobs. Afterward, you discussed your case strategy with Ruby and suspected that the Cursed Objects might be in Gringotts Bank. So you’ve decided to investigate the bank further.

Go to the Gringotts 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 will introduce Gringotts Bank to Ruby.

She will say that she remembers reading an article in the Daily Prophet about that break-in case Flump mentioned. You’ll conclude that this might be why Callum was here and suggest that you ask him about it later.

To do that, you need to obtain five stars within three hours. All five stars are required to pass.

There are reward actions linked to Ruby, the goblin in the brown suit, and your character. Prioritize these actions to save some energy. 

When you’re done, you’ll say that you haven’t picked up any cursed items, but that you’ve heard a lot about increased cheques being deposited. Ruby will add that this follows what she has heard about large sums of money being moved lately. Then you will say that Gringotts deals with transactions all day, so something about these cheques must have been suspicious.

Not long after, a goblin named Griphook will approach you and tell you that he should have assumed that when he heard of a nosy duo asking around, you were also involved.

Ruby’s reaction will differ based on your choice in chapter two.

Mr. Griphook will inform you that if you are here because of a break-in, the bank has already told the Daily Prophet that nothing was stolen. He’ll say he knows because he witnessed it, but that’s all he’ll say on the matter. You’ll tell him that your visit isn’t related to a break-in but concerns an increase in fraudulent transactions. He’ll then ask about Ruby, and you’ll introduce her.

Then he will ask you why you are interested in fraudulent transactions. You can reply in three ways. These options will influence some dialogue that will follow, but they won’t impact the story.

Soon after, you will convince Mr. Griphook to trust you. You will also add that you helped during the attempted robbery in your seventh year of Hogwarts and that you helped Bill Weasley with a golden dragon egg that was stolen by a mother dragon. These lines will differ based on your previous choice.

You will say that now that you have some tangible evidence, you can get out of here. Ruby will say that she’ll look at the names on these checks and see if she can find any connections.

Before that, you’ll have a waiting time of three hours. It is recommended to wait since you’ll be low on energy at this point.

Once the waiting time is over, Proceed to the Ministry Archives in the Ministry of Magic when you are ready. Upon arrival, you will approach Mr. Elderberry and thank him for agreeing to let you search the Archives.

He’ll tell you that from now on you can call him Elton. He will also add that you arrived on time and that Herbert and he had an important debate.

Then he will say that he does not want to hear a single thing about searching the Archives until you settle this debate for them. He will ask you the question that their debate revolves around. You can reply in three ways. These options will influence some dialogue that will follow, but they don’t impact the story.

After that, he will allow you to search the Archives and he’ll be glad to assist if you need help finding something. You will answer that you actually need help.

He will add that he knew that Magical Maintenance would be the right department for you.

You will ask him what he means by that.

You will say that you are looking for connections between Gringotts and cursed objects, specifically cursed cheques.

To do that, you need to obtain five stars within eight hours. Three stars are required to pass.

There are reward actions linked to Elton and Archives books. Prioritize these actions to save some energy. 

Once you’re done, you’ll mention that you couldn’t find any records of cursed checks in his files. You’ll also note that you haven’t come across any information about banks.

Shortly after, Herbert will accidentally spill the ink.

Elton will comment that if he had a tail, he would make a mess too, but he’ll add that a Wiping Spell can easily clean it up.

After his spell, the ink will disappear from the table and he will apologize to you for the mess.

You’ll tell him that Ruby and you didn’t think to check the ink on the cheques and add that maybe it’s not the cheque that’s cursed, but the ink that you need to look at.

Go to the Ministry All Purpose Room to meet with Flump. 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. You will approach Flump and tell him that you have an update for him.

Then he will ask you about which assignment you are talking about. You can reply in three ways. These options will influence some dialogue that will follow, but they don’t impact the story.

Shortly after, you’ll tell him that you and Ruby have gone over the scene thoroughly and believe you may have a solid theory. When you want to say what your theory is, Flump will interrupt you and ask if you know what time it is. Apparently, you will be confused by his question.

These lines will differ based on your previous choice.

He’ll say you can keep working if you want, but he won’t pay extra for overtime. He’ll also add that his time as your boss officially ended three minutes ago.

After he leaves, Olivia will approach you, and you’ll ask if he’s serious, to which she’ll confirm
that he is serious when it comes to overtime work.

Olivia will notice that you’re upset and offer to listen to what you have to say, and you’ll accept and tell her that it might help you sort things out. To do that, you need to obtain five stars within three hours. Three stars are required to pass.

There are reward actions linked to your character and Olivia. Prioritize these actions to save some energy. 

When you’re done, Olivia will say that she knows that working with Flump is challenging and he does seem to be more curt with you. You will add that you don’t understand him and say that he wants Ruby and you to solve this case, but he won’t listen when you have an update.

Then she’ll tell you that she has an appointment soon and she’ll ask you if you need any advice before she leaves. You can reply in three ways. These options will influence some dialogue that will follow, but they don’t impact the story.

Then you will thank her for advice.

Olivia will advise you to take a break and think about something other than work.

She will add that she feels like she is always thinking about life when she is at work, and work when she is at home. She will mention something very interesting.

Needless to say, you will react confused to that. Before you can ask her anything, Tonks will come and ask you for help, and Olivia will feel relieved that she avoided your question.

Tonks will tell you that Andre is facing a fashion emergency and that you should go help him. Before that, you’ll have a waiting time of four hours. It is recommended to wait since you’ll be low on energy at this point.

Once the waiting time is over, Proceed to the Three Broomsticks 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. When you arrive you will see a sad Andre.

You will say that you came as soon as you could and that Tonks told you that the question was a fashion emergency.

Tonks will comment that he’s been like this since she found him here drinking butterbeer by himself and she’ll also add that he doesn’t want to tell her anything. That’s why you will try to find out what happened to Andre. To do that, you need to obtain five stars within three hours. Three stars are required to pass.

There are reward actions linked to Andre and to your character. Prioritize these actions to save some energy. Slide the screen left and right to check all available actions. 

Not long after, he’ll say that Gladrags pays okay but not nearly as much as he’d like for his designer fashion tastes. Then he’ll share a story about having to wear off-the-rack trousers and ask if you can believe it. You can reply in three ways. If you like Andree pick the first option.

A little later, Andre will say that life after Hogwarts is harder than he thought. You’ll agree, mentioning that it’s a common theme among your friends. You’ll say that Barnaby misses Hogwarts, Penny has problems with her roommate, and Merula can’t seem to hold down a job.

You’ll comment that if Merula keeps going like this, she’ll go through all the stores in Hogsmeade before the year is out. Then you will ask Tonks what about her.

Then you will say that together you should focus on each problem individually and that you should start with Andre’s fashion emergency. Andre will say that he’s not sure that you’ll be able to solve his budget issues, but that he feels better after talking with you.

He will explain that he had to choose between the heat in his flat or the latest collection of silk ties. Obviously, he chose ties. You will say that Andre’s budget issues should be one of your next issues to tackle.

You’ll propose meeting more frequently, and they’ll gladly agree to your idea of a weekly get-together with the old Hogwarts group.

Now that you have completed the story, you can start mandatory and optional chapter tasks. You need to complete one mandatory chapter task and two optional chapter tasks to unlock the next chapter. When you complete three tasks, the fourth one that is left will disappear.

Go to the ROCC Division to start the mandatory chapter task. You’ll meet Ruby and talk about your training. She’ll mention you’re learning to be a Healer, Magizoologist, and Auror, saying you’ll need help to succeed. Luckily, she has friends in each field who can assist you.

You’ll need to complete several objectives to finish this mandatory chapter task. Feel free to do them in any order you prefer. Some of these objectives will give you Auror, Healer, and Magizoology Experience Points. “Learn from Barnaby” objective will give you Magizoology Experience Points and “Talk to Tonks” objective will give you Auror Experience Points.
