Chapter 14 – Desk Work

Introduction

Hello everyone, welcome to our Walkthrough for Chapter Fourten of Beyond Hogwarts: Volume Two of Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery. In Chapter 13 of Beyond Hogwarts: Volume 2, the investigation took an intriguing turn as rumors about a mysterious minecart spread across Egypt. Your journey led you to Bill’s camp, where you discussed the challenges posed by these rumors. Concerned about the situation, you decided to head to the Egypt Marketplace, where you encountered your old friend, Diego Caplan, now an assistant to a treasure hunter.

After catching up with Diego, you returned to the Ministry to consult with Mad-Eye Moody, Talbott, and Kingsley about the increasing frequency of raids. Despite the challenges, you provided Flump with an update on the case. However, due to concerns about your safety, Flump temporarily removed you from active fieldwork and reassigned Vega to continue the investigation in Egypt.

Proceed to the Workspace 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, Vega will express her appreciation for taking the time to meet with her before she departs for Egypt. She will want to know everything you’ve discovered that could help her with the case.

To bring Vega up to speed, you need to earn five stars within three hours. Three stars are required to pass. 

The bonus progress actions are tied to your character. Prioritize these actions to save some energy. 

You will explain that you have three friends involved in your case and no leads on what the curse might be, adding that you haven’t noticed anything out of the ordinary at the dunes. She will reassure you that these things take time and that there’s no need to worry. However, you’ll tell her that it’s actually Flump who is worried, as he removed you from the case.

She will add that Flump is only looking out for your safety and that this is not a punishment. There are two different options to choose from. These options will influence some dialogue that will follow, but they won’t impact the story.

Vega will reassure you that everything will be fine and add that she’ll do her best to get you back on the case in the field as soon as possible. You’ll ask her how she plans to get to the dunes, and she’ll explain that you need to create a Portkey for her to reach the location since she can’t pass through the door because it’s your case.

Trace the wand movement to cast Portus.

Shortly after, you’ll decide to meet with Liz to learn more about the sphinxes that are preventing you from reaching the minecart.

Tap on those if you’re curious to see what they have to say.  You’ll thank Liz for agreeing to meet with you on such short notice, while she admits she’d do anything to avoid Grandmum Lee and Merula.

You’ll ask her when she’s been hanging out with Ismelda, and she’ll reply that Ismelda can be quite kind when she wants to, but mostly she’s a menace to others—just not to her. You’ll say you’re glad to hear that. Following that, she’ll suggest talking about the Sphinxes.

You’ll thank Liz for her help, and she’ll tell you that Merula invited her to lunch but didn’t say why. Then, she’ll ask if you think Merula wants to hang out with her or if there’s something more to it.

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

She’ll ask if you could go with her to the lunch since she doesn’t want to go alone. You’ll agree, as it’s just lunch.

They will ask if you’ll ever pass through the door again, adding that sending notices to you has been tiresome.
