Chapter 30 – It All Falls Down

Introduction

Hello everyone, welcome to our Walkthrough for Chapter Thirty of Year Seven of Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery. Last time, you used the power of Legilimency to read Zenith Xeep’s mind.

While it was incredibly difficult to access her memories, you did see a Dark wizard and you heard the word “Burke”. You figured out that the word is likely referring to a person or a place, so you went to see Mad-Eye and consulted with him.

The Mad Eye’s Advice

He told you that Caractacus Burke was one of the original founders of the shop, Borgin and Burkes. Moody then went to Knockturn Alley to investigate, but sadly, he didn’t let you accompany him there.

You went back to St. Mungo’s and met Merula and Corey at the reception. They told you that a member of ‘R’ named Burke had infiltrated St. Mungo’s, so you decided to talk to Madam Strout and see if she could tell you more.

She was shocked to hear that a member of the hospital staff could be working for ‘R’. Unfortunately, she left before telling you anything that could help you recognize Burke, so you decided to continue your investigation.

The Search Continues

Eventually, you meet with Talbott and Penny and learn that Burke is actually a Healer you saw with Madam Xeep earlier. You confronted him about ‘R’, but sadly, he wasn’t willing to talk.

“…First We Bow…”

You were forced to duel him, and thanks to your skills, you defeated this agent of ‘R’. Unfortunately, before you could learn anything, the Dark Witch Metamorphmagus showed up and apparated away with Burke.

Now is the time to continue where you left off. Proceed to the Charms classroom when you are ready to start the first lesson of the chapter. To unlock the Lumos Solem lesson, you’ll need to earn a total of nine stars from Charms classes. Select the class duration you prefer and hit Start to begin.

Prioritize the bonus progress actions whenever they are available if you are looking to save as much energy as possible.

Each mini-task you complete successfully will earn you some Empathy points.

Head back to the classroom once you obtain enough stars to unlock the lesson. Learning Lumos Solem charm requires earning five stars within three hours. Since all five stars are needed to pass, avoid starting this lesson if you are low on energy.

During the lesson, Professor Flitwick will ask you a question about the Lumos Solem charm.

Upon earning the fifth star, you will be tasked with casting the spell. Trace the wand movement to cast Lumos Solem.

You will earn an additional reward for completing the lesson. You can collect it in the Charms section of your Hogwarts Record.

One down, one to go. Proceed to the Herbology classroom when you are ready for the second lesson. To unlock the Alihotsy lesson, you need to earn nine stars from the Herbology classes. Select the class duration you prefer, and hit Start to begin.

Like before, focus on the bonus progress actions to optimize energy usage.

You can get some additional Empathy points by completing the mini-tasks successfully.

Return to the classroom once you earn enough stars to unlock the lesson. To complete the Alihotsy lesson, you’ll need to earn five stars within three hours. All five stars are needed to pass, which is why it’s not recommended to start this lesson with an empty energy bar.

During the lesson, Professor Sprout will ask you a question about the Alihotsy plant.

Upon earning the fifth star, you’ll be tasked with fertilizing your plant. Trace the path on the screen to do so.

You will receive an additional reward for completing the lesson. You can collect it in the Herbology section of your Hogwarts Record.

Now that you’re done with the lessons, you can proceed with the story. Head to the Lakeshore when you are ready to meet Merula. The Most Powerful Witch at Hogwarts will be curious to know why you wanted to meet her. She’ll also be surprised to see Corey.

Apparently, Corey has been very friendly to Merula.

You’ll give your classmate some honest advice.

Following that, you will thank her for helping you earlier, and Merula will ask if you’ve managed to catch Burke. You’ll tell her that he managed to get away. You’ll then ask her about the Dark Witch Metamorphmagus.

Merula will look down and quietly say that she cannot talk about her. You’ll try to convince your classmate to tell you what she knows, after all, both of you want to prevent ‘R’ from harming anyone else.

In the end, Merula will agree to tell you everything she knows. Discussing the Dark Witch Metamorphmagus requires earning five stars within three hours. Three stars are needed to pass.

There is a bonus progress action tied to your character. Prioritize it whenever it is available to save a bit of energy.

You’ll learn that the Dark Witch Metamorphmagus is called the Director. According to Merula, she’s a high-ranking member of ‘R’. You will ask your classmate if there is anything else she can tell you about the Director. Instead of answering your question, she will just silently lower her head.

You’ll wonder if she told you everything she knows, and Merula will quietly say that she doesn’t know anything else about the Director. Still, you won’t be sure if there is something she’s not telling you, unfortunately getting The Most Powerful Witch at Hogwarts upset.

You can choose to believe her or not. If you like Merula, it is highly recommended to pick the first option and say that you believe her.

She will warn you to be extra careful since the Director is incredibly dangerous.

Merula will tell you that, unlike Rakepick, the Director never makes mistakes. You’ll quickly realize that the Most Powerful Witch at Hogwarts is worried about you.

If you are exclusively dating Merula (this requires having a relationship level seven or higher with her and completing a special side quest) she will say that she is very worried about you. Otherwise, she won’t be willing to admit it.

Shortly after, Merula will leave the place, and you’ll decide to report everything to Mad-Eye Moody.

Proceed to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement when you are ready to continue. Upon arriving, you will notice the speech bubbles above some of the characters. Tap on those if you are curious to see what they have to say. You’ll thank Mad-Eye for taking the time to meet with you.

You will go on and say that you want to talk about the information you recently received from Merula.

You will also tell him about your confrontation with Burke.

You’ll also tell Moody about what Burke said before he escaped.

You will apologize for not being able to find out more, but Mad-Eye will tell you there is nothing to be sorry about. He will praise you for doing a good job and express gladness at the results of Merula’s work as a double agent.

He will mention the incredible danger of her showing up at St. Mungo’s, a detail you never disclosed to Moody. Advising you to be extra careful in the future, he’ll then share something important you should be aware of. Listening to Moody requires earning five stars within three hours. Three stars are needed to pass.

Be sure to slide the screen left and right to see all the available actions. There is a bonus progress action tied to Mad-Eye. Prioritize it if you want to save some energy.

You will learn that your brother is going to a safe house.

The decision was made by Mad-Eye and Professor Dumbledore. That way, members of ‘R’ won’t be able to prevent Jacob from testifying at the Wizengamot trial. You will then get to ask Moody one question about the safe house. There are three options to choose from. This choice won’t significantly impact the story, so feel free to go with the option you prefer.

Moments later, both of you will leave the office. You will need to wait four hours before you can continue. Since you will probably be low on energy at this point, it is recommended to wait and let your energy recharge in the meantime.

Proceed to the Hospital Ward once the waiting time is over. When you arrive, you will be able to interact with some of the characters and check out what they have to say. Jacob will be happy to see you arrive. As it seems, he will be using apparition to get to the safe house.

You will be surprised to hear that.

Moody will say that it is the fastest way to get to the safe house, and Jacob will tell you that he already knows you’ve apparated with Mad-Eye before. He’ll decide to give you some pointers. Learning about apparition requires earning five stars within three hours. All five stars are needed to pass, so avoid starting this task if you are out of energy.

Make sure to slide the screen left and right to see all the available actions. There are bonus progress actions tied to Jacob and a nearby Healer. Prioritize those if you want to save some energy.

Jacob will suggest apparating across the room a few times before going to the safe house. You’ll grab his hand, and moments later, the two of you will apparate several times.

Shortly after, Mad-Eye will say that you’re ready to go to the safe house, but you will be worried about your assignment. Madam Strout will approach you and say there’s nothing to worry about, mentioning that your assignment at St. Mungo has come to an end. She’ll admit that she’ll miss having you around, and you will thank her for her kind words. Madam Strout will say that she should thank you for all the work you’ve done.

She’ll ask if you want to be a Healer. There are three options to reply with. If this is a career you would want for your character, it is recommended to go with the first option. If you don’t like the idea of becoming a Healer, you should pick the second option. And if you want to keep your options open, it is recommended to pick the third option.

Before leaving, you will thank Madam Strout for everything. Mad-Eye will ask if you are ready to leave, and you’ll nod, saying that you are. Moments later, the three of you will apparate out of the hospital.

Proceed to the safe house when you are ready. Luckily, both you and Jacob will arrive safely.

Molly Weasley will happily welcome Jacob and you to her home and you’ll be slightly surprised to see her.

The following lines will differ, based on whether or not this is your first time visiting the Burrow.

Mad-Eye will explain that the Weasleys offered their home as a safe house for your brother, and you will kindly thank Mrs. Weasley for allowing Jacob to stay at her home. Shortly after, Mad-Eye and Molly will start discussing some details about Jacob’s stay, and you’ll notice that your brother is concerned about something, so you’ll ask him about it.

As it seems, he won’t like having to sit idly before the trial starts, and you’ll suggest talking about it. He’ll say that since he’s your older brother, he should be reassuring you, but after giving it some thought, he will agree to talk about the whole situation with you. To reassure Jacob, you will need to earn five stars within eight hours. All five stars are needed to pass.

There is a bonus progress action linked to Jacob, so focus on his actions if you want to save some energy.

Your brother will tell you he is worried that ‘R’ will get their hands on both halves of the Dark Scroll.

He will apologize for getting you involved. There are two options to reply with. If you like Jacob, it is highly recommended to pick the first option.

You’ll say that he can go back to his search for the other half of the Dark Scroll once the trial is over. Following that, Mad-Eye will approach you and say that he received an owl from Professor Dumbledore. You will need to return to Hogwarts as soon as possible.

You’ll need to wait three hours before you can continue. Since you will probably be low on energy at this point, it is recommended to wait until the timer runs out and let your energy recharge in the meantime.

Proceed to the Headmaster’s office once the waiting time is over. You will learn that Professor Dumbledore wants to talk to you about the recent events.

Unfortunately, the school project didn’t end up the way he planned.

By the looks of it, ‘R’ is following you, no matter where you go, and Professor Dumbledore will praise you for being resilient and resourceful. You’ll be slightly surprised to hear that, and he’ll suggest talking about it.

Talking to Professor Dumbledore requires earning five stars within three hours. All five stars are needed to pass, so avoid starting this task if you are low on energy.

There are bonus progress actions tied to your character and the Headmaster. Prioritize those if you want to save some energy.

Professor Dumbledore will say that you are far from an ordinary student. After all, not many students are able to hold their own against the Dark witches and wizards.

He’ll ask how you are feeling about the whole situation. There are three options to reply with. This choice won’t significantly impact the story, so feel free to go with the option you prefer.

Professor Dumbledore will advise you to rely on your friends. He will suggest reuniting a “certain group” and expanding its members.

With everything going on, reuniting the Circle of Khanna is definitely a good idea.

This will mark the end of Chapter 30 of Year 7. Hit the Collect button to claim your rewards. You will receive 350 Coins and 2000 Experience Points.

Will your friends agree to reunite the Circle of Khanna? And how will they react once they learn that ‘R’ is still after you? Find out in the next chapter of Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery!
