Welcome to the Slug Club Part 3

Introduction

Hello everyone, welcome to Part 3 of our Walkthrough for Welcome to the Slug Club Adventure of Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery. Last time, you visited Professor Snape and asked him to tell you how to approach Lucius Malfoy. He told you to be brief, direct, and complimentary. He also told you Malfoy often visits Diagon Alley when he is not at home.

You and Andre went there and luckily, you found Lucius and his house-elf Dobby. Initially, he wasn’t interested in helping you find Slughorn, but you somehow managed to convince him to change his mind. He gave you some Floo powder and told you to use the fireplace inside the Leaky Cauldron to travel to the restaurant called ‘The Laughing Burro’.

Unfortunately, after using the Floo powder, you ended up inside the Burrow, where you were greeted by Molly Weasley. Andre was quite certain that Lucius tricked you to get you off Slughorn’s trail. In the end, you figured out you could ask some of the Hogwarts professors and see if any of them knows something that could help you locate Slughorn.

[Disclaimer: This walkthrough will feature the gameplay from the perspective of a Year 7 student. Since the adventure is available for students of Year 4 and above, the star and attribute requirements for certain tasks might be different for you, depending on your current progress of the main story.]

Since Professor Flitwick is always friendly and helpful, you decided to visit him first. Go to the Charms classroom when you are ready.

When you arrive, you will find Penny there instead of Professor Flitwick. You’ll learn that he asked her to talk with you. She’ll tell you that Professor Slughorn and Professor Flitwick were never very close.

Luckily, she might know some useful information that could help you locate Slughorn. She’ll tell you she found a list of Slug Club members, so hopefully one of them could point you in the right direction.

Discussing the Slug Club members is your next task. You need to earn five stars within three hours to complete it. All five stars are required to pass.

There are actions with bonus progress tied to Penny and one of the books. Prioritize those actions to save energy.

You’ll learn that the owner of Honeydukes, Ambrosius Flume, was a member of the Slug Club. If you completed the Hogsmeade Festival or Flume’s Clues adventure, you will get some additional lines of dialogue.

Penny will kindly offer to go with you to Honeydukes since she wants to pick up some sweets for later. Moments later, the two of you will leave the classroom.

Go to Honeydukes when you are ready to continue. Once you arrive, you’ll be able to interact with some of the characters and see what they have to say.

Penny will tell you that she never saw Honeydukes so crowded. Mr. Flume will approach you and say that his shop has all sorts of confectionaries. If you’ve met him before, you’ll politely greet him. If this is your first time meeting Ambrosius Flume, Penny will introduce you.

You’ll ask if he could spare a few moments to tell you some things about Horace Slughorn. Unfortunately, Mr. Flume will be too busy, and he will have to return to his work.

Moments later, someone will steal a box of Pepper Imps. You’ll decide to look for the culprit, and hopefully, Mr. Flume will help you find Slughorn in return.

Locating the thief is your next task. You need to earn five stars within three hours to complete it. Three stars are required to pass.

There is a bonus progress action tied to the Pepper Imps on the ground. Focus on that action if you want to save a bit of energy.

You’ll spot a suspicious-looking wizard near the Pepper Imps on the ground. Penny will immediately realize it is the thief. The man will try to run away, but he’ll find it difficult because of the crowd in front of the door.

You’ll quickly take out your wand and prepare to cast Petrificus Totalus on the thief. Trace the wand movement on the screen to do so.

The spell will work as intended, and the thief will fall to the ground, completely paralyzed. Once he falls down, he’ll drop the box of Pepper Imps he stole.

Mr. Flume will thank you for stepping up and stopping the thief from escaping. He’ll ask if there’s anything he can do to repay you. You will tell him you are looking for Horace Slughorn.

Ambrosius will smile and say that he knows exactly where Slughorn is. He’ll say that he is shipping a box of Crystalized Pineapples to his old Potions Professor every week. And lately, he’s been sending those boxes to Slughorn at Bathilda Bagshot’s house.

If you’ve met Bathilda Bagshot before, you’ll tell Mr. Flume about it. Otherwise, you’ll learn that she lives in Godric’s Hollow. Mr. Flume will give you a bag of Crystalized Pineapples to bring to Slughorn.

Before you go, Ambrosius will warn you that Slughorn can be quite a rascal when he is trying to stay hidden.

Shortly after, you will leave Honeydukes and head to Godric’s Hollow. Go to Bathilda Bagshot’s house when you are ready to continue.

Once you arrive, you’ll call Professor Slughorn. After a short while, he will enter the room and say that he was in the kitchen. You will introduce yourself and say that you came on behalf of Gwenog Jones. You’ll also say that she was worried when he didn’t come to her exhibition at Hogwarts.

As it seems, Slughorn knows about your family. Apparently, he has heard some things about Jacob and your father. There are three options for you to respond with. This choice won’t significantly impact the story, so feel free to pick the option you prefer.

You’ll notice a strange-looking hourglass on the table. Professor Slughorn will ask you to tell him some things about yourself.

You need to earn five stars within eight hours to complete this task. All five stars are required to pass.

There are bonus progress actions tied to your character and the couch. Focus on those actions if you want to save energy.

Professor Slughorn will be impressed after hearing some of the things you’ve accomplished. He’ll then tell you about his hourglass. Apparently, it runs quickly when someone is a bore. However, if the conversation is interesting, the sands fall slowly.

You’ll ask him to tell you why he didn’t come to Gwenog’s exhibition at Hogwarts. Sadly, he won’t feel like talking about it. You can choose if you want to push the subject or not.

In either case, Slughorn won’t tell you why he skipped the exhibition, but he will appreciate it if you don’t push the subject, so it is recommended to pick the second option.

You’ll then ask Slughorn if he could give you a message for Gwenog. He will smile and say that he can do much more than that. He will invite you and Andre to meet some of his acquaintances over dinner.

You’ll quickly realize he is talking about the Slug Club dinner. Needless to say, you will be excited about it. Slughorn will tell you to find Andre. In the meantime, he will look for a suitable location for a dinner.

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.

Go to the Three Broomsticks once the waiting time is over. 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.

Andre will be incredibly excited about the Slug Club dinner. You’ll tell him Penny helped you figure out where to find Slughorn. Andre will say he is quite sure you’ll be invited to join the Slug Club.

There are two options for you to reply with. This choice will affect some of the dialogue lines later on, but it won’t significantly impact the story, so feel free to go with the option you prefer.

Moments later, Slughorn will approach you. He’ll tell you Madam Rosmerta agreed to let him use the Three Broomsticks for the Slug Club dinner.

Unfortunately, not everything went according to plan. You’ll ask Slughorn to tell you what went wrong. You need to earn five stars within three hours to complete this task. All five stars are required to pass.

There are actions with bonus progress linked to Slughorn and Andre. Prioritize those actions to save some energy.

You will learn that two key Slug Club members are holding things up. One of them, Lucius Malfoy, flat-out refused to attend the dinner. To make matters worse, he didn’t even tell Slughorn what the issue is.

Andre will say it is probably for the best if Lucius doesn’t attend the dinner. Slughorn will ask if Malfoy refused to come to dinner because of something that happened between you.

There are two options to reply with. If you don’t want to tell Slughorn about your encounter with Lucius, it is recommended to pick the second option. Otherwise, you should choose the first one.

In any case, Slughorn will ask you to talk to Lucius on his behalf. He will assure you that Malfoy will change his mind, as long as you stay focused on the dinner.

You’ll ask him about the other guest he mentioned. Slughorn will say that he will look into the nature of his objections a bit more and fill you in after that. He’ll advise you to focus on Lucius in the meantime.

He will also say that he needs help decorating the place. Andre will immediately offer to assist him with that.

Shortly after, Part 3 of Welcome to the Slug Club will conclude. Hit the Collect button to claim your reward. You will receive 3 Gems.

Will you manage to convince Lucius Malfoy to attend the dinner? And more importantly, will Slughorn invite you to join the Slug Club? Find out in the next part of this adventure!
