Proceed to the Break Room 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. Callum will greet you and say he’s glad you came.

You will thank them for the invitation and say that the break is definitely appreciated. Olivia will comment that she almost forgot you left Hogwarts recently, and Calum will ask her if she didn’t just leave Hogwarts too.

You’ll jokingly add that Olivia certainly didn’t have to write many essays and she will confidently say that the only thing she wrote was good jokes and even better puns. This conversation will remind her that the school year at Hogwarts just started.
You will answer her that it is, and Callum will say that it explains the crowd of Hogwarts students he saw in Diagon Alley buying supplies. You will add that it hasn’t been that long since you left Hogwarts.

She’ll say she wants to know about everyone’s time at Hogwarts and wants to compare your experiences. To do that, you need to obtain five stars within three hours. All five stars are required to pass.

Bonus progress actions are tied to Callum. Prioritize these actions to save some energy. Be sure to slide the screen left and right to see all the available actions.

Soon after, Olivia will mention that talking about Hogwarts makes everyone feel nostalgic, and you’ll say that you even discovered that the house elves had prepared cookies for Flump. Olivia will then guess that Calum was in Slytherin.
Callum will wonder how she get to that conclusion. She’ll explain that she saw his new recruits doing his paperwork and she will comment that he’s cunning. These lines will differ based on your friend level with Callum.


Olivia will say that Callum looks like a middle child. Callum will interrupt and say you’ve talked enough about him, and add that Olivia got lost in Flourish and Blotts, even though the store isn’t that big.

Olivia will be delighted that you are all reminiscing about the good old days as a bunch of adults. She will ask you a question. You can reply in three different ways. These options will influence some dialogue that will follow, but they don’t impact the overall story. (If you choose the first option, you will have different lines of dialogue based on which house you were in at Hogwarts).

Soon after, Callum will comment that you’re adjusting well, but Ruby will nerviously run away, leaving you confused.

Olivia will wonder what is wrong with her and you will say that you’ll check and find out what is going on. Go to the Alleyway to find Ruby. When you arrive, you’ll ask Ruby if she’s okay.

You will be curious about what the problem is.

She’ll say you all talked about Hogwarts and it made her think about how alone she feels sometimes and she will add that this is the first time in a long time that she is not going back to Mountain Greylock.

You’ll admit that you didn’t realize she was feeling left out and you saw her acting strange, realizing you should have noticed. She will assure you that she is fine and that she didn’t say anything about it.
You will suggest that she talk about Ilvermorny with you and tell her that you don’t really know too much about it and she will agree excitedly. To do that, you need to obtain five stars within eight hours. All five stars are required to pass.

After that, you will say that you think Ilvermorney is similar to Hogwarts, especially the part where they have four different houses that you can be sorted into and Ruby will add that they each represent something, too. You will remember that Ruby is in Pukwudgie House and you will ask her to tell you more about it.

She’ll ask if you think you could be Pukwudgie like her. You can reply in two ways. These options will influence some dialogue that will follow, but they don’t impact the story. if you like Ruby, it is recommended going with the first option.

After that, she will tell you the details about other houses. The Horned Serpent represents the mind and favors scholars, the Wampus represents the body and favors warriors, and last, but not least, the Thunderbird represents the soul and favors adventurers.
If you did not choose Pukwudgie in the previous choice, you will now have another chance to choose the House from the remaining three that suits you. Those choices will not have an impact on the story, so choose the one you like.
Ruby will thank you warmly, and when you ask her why she’s so thankful, she will explain that you didn’t have to come to cheer her up, but she really appreciates your company. She’ll say that she feels a bit silly for getting upset and you’ll tell her what you think about it. You can reply in two ways. if you like Ruby, it is recommended to go with the second option.

She will say that she felt so lonely at that moment and still kind of feels that way. She will add that it got her thinking that she doesn’t really know a whole lot of people outside of the ROCC. You will tell her that all these stories about schools make you feel a little nostalgic and you will also suggest that you introduce her to a few friends.

Proceed to the Former Student Centre 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. Badeea will come to you and say that she is glad that you want to hang out.

These lines will differ based on whether Badeea and Penny know Ruby. If they don’t know her, you’ll get additional dialogue depending on whether they both know her or just one of them.



You’ll say it’s back-to-school time and suggest spending time together. Badeea will mention that she saw Percy Weasley in Flourish and Blotts complaining about his little brother. Then you’ll ask your friends if they can believe it’s the first year in seven years that you won’t be at Hogwarts, and Penny will seem upset by your words.

You can reply in two ways. These options will influence some dialogue that will follow, but they don’t impact the story.

She will add that she saved him from Caipora. You’ll say that sounds just like something that would happen to Diego and you’re curious how he would spin that story.

Ruby will add that she can’t believe she made such a bold decision to move here for music and Alanza will say that she wouldn’t say that she had everything figured out.

She will add that this does not mean that everything is going according to her plan and that her stuff was supposed to arrive today, but it’s delayed. She will also say that talking about Castelobruxo and home made her feel a little nostalgic.

You will say that you didn’t know she was so musically talented, adding that nine instruments must be a lot. She’ll reply that it’s not something she usually mentions and she stopped playing for a while when she got to Hogwarts.
She can’t dwell in the past and be sad. She has to look to the future and remember that that’s where her passion is. You can reply in three ways. These options will influence some dialogue that will follow, but they don’t impact the story.

Soon after, she will say If you are going to talk about the past, present, or future, then it must be in brighter circumstances. You will ask curiously what she has in mind.
