Summary

Walkthrough

However, you should first go and complete the lessons. Head to the Charms classroom when you are ready. To unlock the Bubble Head Charm lesson, you need to acquire nine stars from Charms classes. As always, pick the class duration suitable to your liking and hit the Start button to begin.

In most cases, Charms classes will offer you a decent number of bonus actions, making things a bit easier.

As for the mini-tasks, focus on completing them all successfully to gain some extra Empathy points.

Return to the classroom once you unlock the lesson. To learn the Bubble Head Charm, you need to obtain five stars within three hours. All five stars are required to pass, so avoid starting the lesson if you are low on energy.

Other than the passing requirements and some of the mini-tasks, this lesson is quite similar to most of the regular Charms classes.

When you obtain the fifth star, you will be tasked with casting the Bubble Head Charm.

Once you’re done, hit the Collect button to claim your rewards. You’ll earn an additional reward for completing the lesson. You can claim it in the Charms section of your Hogwarts Record.

Head to the Potions classroom for the second lesson of the chapter. Unlocking the Laughing Potion lesson requires earning nine stars from Potions classes. Like before, pick the class duration you prefer and hit Start to begin.

Prioritize completing the reward actions whenever you see them available in order to save some energy.

Try completing all of the mini-tasks successfully to gain some additional Knowledge points.

Return to the classroom after collecting enough stars to unlock the lesson. Learning to brew the Laughing potion requires earning five stars within three hours.

Follow the same steps you took during the previous classes and you’ll be done in no time.

When you earn all of the stars, you’ll be tasked with waving your wand over the cauldron.

Hit the Collect button to claim your rewards. You can claim an additional reward in the Potions section of your Hogwarts Record.

Now that you’ve completed the lessons, you can continue the story. Proceed to the Knockturn Alley when you are ready. Upon arriving, you’ll be able to interact with some of the Knockturn denizens by tapping on the speech bubbles above them. Apparently, Alistair is already waiting for you.

You’ll quickly show him the Love Potion. He’ll be a bit suspicious, but eventually, he’ll agree to make the trade.

Trading for the Cloak requires earning five stars within three hours. One star is needed to pass.

There are bonus actions tied to Andre and the Love Potion. Prioritize these actions to save energy.

When you are done, you will finally get the Invisibility Cloak. Shortly after Alistair leaves, Andre will ask you an interesting question. Feel free to pick any of the answers since none of these will have any big impact on the story.

You’ll then remind your friends why you needed the cloak in the first place.

This is when you’ll realize that Alistair was eavesdropping on you the whole time.

He’ll give you a useful piece of advice.

In fact, Andre will side with Alistair. Jae seems to have the perfect target for you to practice on.

Head to the Transfiguration classroom when you are ready. Shortly after your arrival, Jae will share his plan with you. He’ll suggest that eavesdropping on the daily conversations between Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick, who usually meet around this time, would be great practice for your Ministry infiltration skills.

As it turns out, he is looking for an easy way to pass the upcoming exam. You can choose to agree to help him or not. This choice won’t affect the story much, but if you like Jae, it is recommended to go with the first option.

Moments later, your friend will alert you that the professors are approaching. You’ll hastily put on the Invisibility Cloak just as they enter the classroom. Professor McGonagall will inquire if she can assist Jae.

Apparently, Professors McGonagall and Flitwick didn’t meet up to discuss the upcoming exam.

Professor Flitwick will agree with her and say that they should discuss everything Albus told them further. Eavesdropping on their conversation requires earning at least three out of five stars within three hours.

Both McGonagall and Flitwick have reward actions linked to them, which should make things a bit easier for you.

As it seems, the Headmaster already alerted most of the Hogwarts staff about the Mahoutokoro wizard. Also, a student from Castelobruxo should be arriving at Hogwarts fairly soon. Moments later, the professors will leave the classroom, and Jae will return, eagerly asking about the exam. Sadly for him, the exam was not the topic of their conversation. Your previous choice will take effect here.

You’ll decide to spy some more on the other professors and see if you can learn anything interesting. According to Jae, Professor Kettleburn and Hagrid are about to meet soon. This might be a good opportunity to test your Invisibility Cloak again. You will have to wait approximately three hours before their meeting. This might be a good opportunity to chill for a while and let your energy replenish in the meantime.

Once the waiting time is over, proceed to the Care of Magical Creatures to spy on Hagrid and Kettleburn. Upon arriving, you will notice Liz standing there, looking after a Unicorn.

You will explain to her that you want to use your Invisibility Cloak to spy on Hagrid and Kettleburn’s meeting. Liz will ask you a question about the Invisibility Cloak. There are three options to respond with. None of these will impact the story in any meaningful way, so feel free to pick whichever one you want.

Luckily for you, Liz will agree not to tell the professors you’re spying on them. Moments later, Hagrid and Kettleburn will arrive. They won’t be too concerned with Liz being there.

Next, you’ll get to eavesdrop on their conversation. To do that, you need to earn five stars within three hours. Three stars are required to pass.

Both of them have reward actions tied to them, which should allow you to save a bit of energy.

Once you are done, you will learn that something is causing Grindylows to behave very aggressively.

Once the two of them leave, you will tell Liz what you’ve learned. You’ll tell her that Kettleburn and Hagrid say that the Grindylows at the Black Lake have been acting more aggressively than usual.

She’ll then suggest eavesdropping on Professor Binns next. Once again, there is a waiting period of three hours before you can continue. Since that is nearly the exact time it takes for your energy to recharge fully, it is recommended to wait until the timer expires and let your energy refill in the process.

Once you can continue, head to the History of Magic classroom to spy on Professor Binns. When you arrive, you’ll notice that the Professor is sleeping. Just as you were about to leave, you’ll hear Madam Pince.

Perhaps this wasn’t a waste of time after all. You’ll put on your Invisibility Cloak before Madam Pince enters. Eavesdropping on them will require earning five stars within three hours. Three stars are needed to pass.

There are bonus actions tied to Professor Binns and Madam Pince.

When you are done, you will learn some interesting information. Madam Pince will say that Patricia Rakepick must have been interested in the history of the Merpeople for a reason.

Professor Binns will agree with her and say that Patricia Rakepick is a woman who never allows herself to be distracted.

Moments later, they will leave the classroom, and you will decide to visit the Hog’s Head Inn. However, you will have to wait four hours before you can continue. Like before, simply let this timer run out and replenish your energy in the process.

Once the waiting time is over, proceed to the Hog’s Head Inn. 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’ll be surprised to see Badeea in Hog’s Head Inn.

Thankfully, she’s a trustworthy friend, so you will tell her that you have a new Invisibility Cloak and will practice your ability to use it without getting caught. Luckily, she won’t hesitate to help you.

In return, she’ll ask for your advice regarding her next painting. There are three options to choose from. This choice won’t significantly impact the story, so feel free to pick the option you prefer.

Soon enough she’ll start distracting Aberforth so you could use the opportunity to slip under the Invisibility Cloak. Her plan will work as intended, and you’ll be able to don the cloak without anyone noticing it. You’ll then get to eavesdrop to your heart’s content. To do that, you need to obtain five stars within three hours. Three stars are required to pass.

Be sure to slide the screen left and right to see all the available actions. There are reward actions linked to one Dark Witch and a Dark Wizard.

After you’re done, you’ll notice Mad-Eye Moody entering the inn.

The Invisibility Cloak won’t be enough to fool him, so he’ll discover you moments after arriving.

He’ll tell you he wants to take you to the Training Grounds and prepare you for the upcoming danger.

This will conclude Chapter 12 of Year 6. Hit the Collect button to claim your rewards. You will receive 250 Coins and 2000 Experience Points.

What kind of danger did Mad-Eye Moody want to warn you about? Will he tell you the details? Find out in the next chapter of Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery!
