You will learn that the winners will be rewarded with the opportunity to visit MACUSA, specifically enjoying a special tour of the Body for Protection of Magical Species office! Penny will ask you what you think about this reward.

The Headmaster will further add that the winning team will need driven, determined, and competitive individuals. You and Penny will agree to team up since Dumbledore’s description matches both of you, and you both want to visit MACUSA. You’ll learn that the competition will consist of two rounds, and Penny will mention that Dumbledore said your problem-solving and spellcasting skills will be tested. She will then ask you which of these qualities you think is the most important for your team.

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

In any case, Penny and you will decide to meet in the school courtyard to figure out who else to invite to your team, as the team must have four members.

Go to the Clocktower Courtyard 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.

In this task, if you are in the later years or in Beyond Hogwarts, you will choose Corey as your teammate. However, if you are in the earlier years, you will select Rowan/Rowena instead. Either choice will not affect the overall story, though the dialogues will differ slightly. Enjoy!

You’ll realize there are plenty of candidates for your team. However, after some discussion, you and Penny will agree to narrow the choices down to Barnaby, the magical creatures expert, and Corey, who excels at research. Just as you’re finalizing your options, Merula will interrupt your conversation, making it clear that she’s also entering the competition and is determined to defeat you.

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

Proceed to the Library 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. You will meet Corey there, who is busy reading books. You will explain what it’s about and mention that she would be a great addition to your team. However, she will insist that she’s not finished with her book, which is very important. Because of this, you will start convincing her.

To convince Corey to join, you need to earn five stars within three hours. All five stars are required to pass. Since this task requires a lot of energy, it is recommended to start it with a full energy bar.

Go to the Care of Magical Creatures Classroom 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. You will say that you haven’t seen him in the Great Hall, and Barnaby will be sad that he missed Dumbledore’s big announcement.

After you explain everything he missed, you will ask him if he wants to be on your team. However, he will add that he wants to, but there’s a problem—his Knarl is in a foul mood, and he needs to cheer it up first before he can focus on the competition.

To cheer up Knarl, you need to earn five stars within eight hours. Three stars are required to pass. Since this task requires a lot of energy, it is recommended to start it with a full energy bar.

The reason Knarl is worried is because Barnaby is worried about him. Barnaby will thank you for discovering the problem. He will accept to be on the team and will ask you if there is a particular subject he should look into. There are two different options to choose from. Both options will influence some dialogue that will follow, but they won’t impact the story.
