A Gathering of Old Friends Part 2

ADVERTISEMENT

Introduction

Hello everyone, welcome to Part 2 of our Walkthrough for A Gathering of Old Friends Adventure of Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery. During the previous part, you learned that Professor Dumbledore is planning a special gathering in Godric’s Hollow. His goal is to reunite some old friends, and you agreed to help him with that.

He tasked Hagrid and you to follow up on three people who haven’t replied to his invitations. The people you needed to talk to are Mundungus Fletcher, Remus Lupin, and Aberforth Dumbledore. You found Mundungus at the Three Broomsticks where he was selling his wares to Madam Rosmerta’s patrons. After you helped him sell all of his merchandise, he agreed to attend the gathering.

Next, you went to the Hog’s Head Inn. There, you found Aberforth Dumbledore. While he didn’t want to attend the meeting at first, thanks to your persuasive skills, you managed to convince him to change his mind. Unfortunately, you were unable to find Remus Lupin, so you went back to Professor Dumbledore.

Once you entered his office, you noticed Cecil Lee, a member of the Werewolf Capture Unit, talking with Professor Dumbledore. After eavesdropping on their conversation, you learned there might be a werewolf in Godric’s Hollow.

Interestingly enough, Professor Dumbledore asked you to help him handle the matter. When you are ready, proceed to the courtyard to meet with him.

The choice you made while talking to Professor Dumbledore and Cecil Lee will take effect here.

a gathering of old friends part 2 0270

Professor Dumbledore will be glad that he asked for your assistance. He’ll tell you to bring Penny to his office if she agrees to help.

You will be quite sure you can find your Hufflepuff friend in the Potions classroom, so that’s where you’ll decide to go next.

You will need to wait three hours before Penny is ready to meet with you. Since you will likely be low on energy at this point, it is recommended to wait and let your energy recharge in the meantime.

a gathering of old friends part 2 0320

Head to the Potions classroom once the waiting time is over. You will find Penny practicing potions in the classroom. You’ll cheerfully greet her as you approach.

She’ll say she is practicing a Forgetfulness Potion. You’ll tell her that you want to talk to her about something important.

Your previous choice will take effect here.

a gathering of old friends part 2 0370

Penny will admit she is feeling a bit nervous. She’ll tell you she wants to brew the potion correctly. You will quickly offer to help her with that.

To brew Forgetfulness Potion, you will need to earn five stars within three hours. All five stars are required to pass, so avoid starting this task if you are low on energy.

a gathering of old friends part 2 0430

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

a gathering of old friends part 2 0440

Penny will be quite happy with the potion she brewed. She’ll be curious about the werewolf Professor Dumbledore mentioned.

The following lines of dialogue will differ, depending on whether or not you completed Penny for Your Thoughts Side Quest. If you did, the outcome of that quest will affect the dialogue lines.

a gathering of old friends part 2 0480

If you haven’t completed that side quest, you will learn that Penny’s friend Scarlett got attacked by a werewolf, and there was nothing she could do to stop it. If Penny drank Forgetfulness Potion during the quest, she will agree to help, and you’ll tell her about what happened.

You’ll tell her that confronting a werewolf is going to be different this time. She will ask why you are so sure about it. There are three options to reply with. If you like Penny, it is recommended to pick the second or the third option.

a gathering of old friends part 2 0520

Penny will say she is going to do everything in her power to help. You’ll be happy to hear that. She’ll tell you there is something she needs to do before you start.

You will ask her about it. She’ll say that she wants to study to prepare for facing the werewolf. You’ll like her idea. Shortly after, the two of you will leave the Potions classroom.

Head to the Library 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.

Penny will say that she already gathered every book on werewolves she could find.

a gathering of old friends part 2 0640

Hopefully, by learning more about them, you will find it easier to deal with the one in Godric’s Hollow.

You’ll tell Penny that you still don’t know what Professor Dumbledore wants of you. After all, there is a chance you might not need to fight a werewolf. Still, it doesn’t hurt to be prepared.

Shortly after, the two of you will start studying werewolves. To complete this task, you need to earn five stars within three hours. All five stars are required to pass, which is why it’s not recommended to start this task with an empty energy bar.

Be sure to slide the screen left and right to see all the available actions. There is a bonus progress action tied to Penny. Prioritizing it should save you a bit of energy.

a gathering of old friends part 2 0710

You’ll notice that your Hufflepuff friend isn’t particularly fond of werewolves. According to one of the books, werewolves are described as ruthless creatures with no moral sense.

You won’t fully agree with that statement. While it is true that werewolves are unable to control themselves if they transform without Wolfsbane Potion, they still remember everything they’ve done once they revert back to their human form.

And without a doubt, many of them regret the things they do while transformed. One such person is the narrator of Hairy Snout, Human Heart.

a gathering of old friends part 2 0790

Still, Penny won’t be sure if she agrees with that. She will tell you about the failure of The Ministry’s Werewolf Code of Conduct of 1637.

If your character knows a ‘certain’ werewolf, you’ll tell Penny that not all of them are dangerous. Otherwise, you’ll admit that you’ve never met one.

a gathering of old friends part 2 0840

Either way, Penny won’t be willing to take any chances. You’ll tell her not to worry since Professor Dumbledore would never willingly put either of you in danger. Penny will agree with you.

She will apologize for getting carried away. She’ll realize there is a chance Professor Dumbledore only wants information about what happened.

If that is the case, thanks to the research, you’ve read everything there is about werewolves.

a gathering of old friends part 2 0930

Penny will tell you she is finally ready to talk to the Headmaster. Moments later, the two of you will leave the library.

Go to Dumbledore’s Office when you are ready to continue. The Headmaster will be glad that Penny agreed to meet him.

Penny will assume he wants to talk about the werewolf attack she witnessed near Wigtown. She’ll admit she wasn’t sure if she could relive those moments.

The choice you made while talking to the Headmaster in the courtyard will take effect here.

a gathering of old friends part 2 1010

Professor Dumbledore will say that good friends are invaluable in difficult times. You’ll ask him about the werewolf in Godric’s Hollow.

He will tell you he wants to take things one at a time. He’ll ask Penny to tell him everything she can remember about the werewolf attack near Wigtown.

a gathering of old friends part 2 1090

She will agree to tell him everything she can remember. However, she will need your help. She’ll ask you to make sure she tells everything to Professor Dumbledore.

You will gladly offer your support. Penny will be relieved to hear that. She’ll then start telling the Headmaster everything she can remember about the attack.

To help Penny tell her story, you will need to earn five stars within three hours. All five stars are required to pass.

a gathering of old friends part 2 1180

There are actions with bonus progress tied to Penny and Professor Dumbledore. Focus on those actions to save some energy.

a gathering of old friends part 2 1190

Professor Dumbledore will thank Penny for sharing her story. He’ll admire her strength and say there is a strong bond between her and you.

You’ll thank him for his kind words and ask if there’s anything else he needs from you. Penny will have a feeling the Headmaster wants more than a story. After all, there is a werewolf on the loose.

She’ll say that the only way to deal with the creature is to cage it or destroy it. Professor Dumbledore will be surprised to hear her say that.

a gathering of old friends part 2 1260

He’ll say that not all werewolves are bad. He will also say that he wants to determine the werewolf’s intentions before doing anything.

Penny will be quite sure what those intentions are. She’ll say that she simply cannot hesitate if she finds herself facing the werewolf.

Professor Dumbledore will ask if you agree with her. There are two options to reply with. While this choice won’t significantly impact the story, jumping to conclusions without knowing all the facts is almost never a good idea. Because of that, it is recommended to pick the second option.

a gathering of old friends part 2 1330

You’ll ask the Headmaster what to do next. By the looks of it, Penny and you will be going to Godric’s Hollow.

Your Hufflepuff friend will immediately assume that the two of you are going to fight the werewolf. However, if everything goes according to plan, there won’t be any need for fighting.

Professor Dumbledore will tell you that one of his guests is waiting for you in Godric’s Hollow. And that person is none other than Mad-Eye Moody.

a gathering of old friends part 2 1400

Penny will say she is ready to go. Moments later, the two of you will leave the Headmaster’s Office.
