Chapter 45

Hello everyone, welcome to our Walkthrough for Chapter Forty-Five of Year Six of Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery. Previously, you decided to hold a party to celebrate everything nice about Hogwarts. You asked Penny and Alanza to help you organize the party, and they were absolutely thrilled about it. You went to Hogsmeade and asked Madam Rosmerta to let you hold the party at the Three Broomsticks. Initially, she was against it, but the three of you helped her, so in the end, she agreed to your proposition. You then went to Zonko’s Joke Shop to get some pranks for the party. Thankfully, the Weasley twins were happy to assist you with picking some nice items. Later on, you asked the Weird Sisters to perform at the party, and they were more than willing to do so. Also, Penny informed all of your friends about the party, and soon enough, everyone was having a great time at the Three Broomsticks. After a while, Jae informed you that Mundungus Fletcher wants to have a word with you, and you agreed to talk to him. But before that, you should take care of the lessons. Proceed to the Herbology classroom when you are ready for the first lesson of the chapter.

To unlock the Sopophorous Plant lesson, you need to obtain nine stars from Herbology classes. Select the class duration you prefer and hit Start to begin.

As always, prioritizing 5-cost actions should save you some energy.

Also, try your best to successfully complete all of the mini-tasks to earn some bonus Empathy points.

Return to the classroom once you obtain enough stars to unlock the lesson.

To complete the Sopophorous Plant lesson, you need to earn five stars within three hours. All five stars are needed to pass, which is why you shouldn’t start this lesson if your energy is low.

Professor Sprout will ask you a question related to the topic of the lesson, so be sure to answer it correctly.

Once you are done, head to the Potions classroom to attend the second lesson of the chapter.

Unlocking the Garrotting Gas lesson requires earning a total of nine stars from Potions classes. Choose the class duration suitable to your liking and hit Start to begin.

Just like before, focus on 5-cost actions to save as much energy as possible.

As for the mini-tasks, complete them successfully to earn some extra Knowledge points.

Head back to the classroom once you acquire enough stars to unlock the lesson.

Learning how to brew the Garrotting Gas requires earning five stars within three hours. It is recommended not to start this lesson if your energy bar is empty since all five stars are needed to pass.

This lesson is fairly similar to most of the regular classes, apart from a question you’ll be asked by Professor Snape.

Upon earning the fifth star, you’ll need to wave your wand over the cauldron to finish the potion. Trace the wand movement to do so.

Once you’re done with the lessons, proceed to Ollivanders to meet with Jae and Mundungus.

You will be curious to know why Fletcher wanted to meet with you.

He’ll notice that you aren’t particularly friendly to him.

Jae will explain that his message interrupted your party.

Mundungus will reassure you that you’ll definitely find the information interesting.

You’ll tell him you’re all ears.

Fletcher will turn to Ollivander and ask him to tell you everything he told him.

Mr. Ollivander will say that a Dark Witch visited his store recently and asked about your wand.

Needless to say, you’ll be surprised to hear that.

He’ll go on and say that the witch wanted to know everything about your wand.

Jae will ask if you think that the Dark Witch is associated with ‘R’. There are two options to choose from. Other than some minor dialogue difference, this choice won’t have any big impact on the story, so feel free to take your pick.

You will then ask Mr. Ollivander to tell you everything about the Dark Witch.

Listening to Ollivander requires earning five stars within an hour. Only one star is needed to pass.

Since there’s no waiting period before the next task, it is highly recommended to earn a single star and wait for the timer to run out.

All of you will sum things up once Ollivander is done talking about the Dark Witch.

You will realize that the Dark Witch who was asking about your wand might be the one you saw in Knockturn Alley during ‘R’’s meeting.

Jae will agree with you on that.

Thankfully, Mr. Ollivander didn’t reveal any information related to your wand to the Dark Witch.

You will thank him for sharing the information with you.

Still, you will wonder why the Dark Witch was interested in your wand.

Mundungus will tell you that there’s more to this mystery.

Apparently, you’ll have to go to Flourish and Blotts for the next clue.

Proceed there when you are ready.

Upon arriving, you will be able to interact with some of the characters and see what they have to say.

Upon greeting Madam Villanelle, you will ask her about the information Fletcher mentioned.

Apparently, she isn’t too fond of Mundungus, especially when he drops by five times in a single day.

You’ll tell her you’re interested to hear what she has to say.

She will tell you that a Dark Witch came in to ask about you.

You will ask Madam Villanelle to tell you everything she can remember about the Dark Witch.

Talking to Madam Villanelle requires earning five stars within an hour. Only one star is needed to pass.

Normally, it would be recommended to earn a single star and wait for the timer to run out. However, there’s a waiting period afterward, which is why you should probably finish this task as soon as possible. Also, there’s a 5-cost action linked to Madam Villanelle.

After talking to her, you will be sure that the same Dark Witch from Ollivander’s came to ask about you.

Apparently, she was asking about books and subjects Jacob and you were interested in.

You will find that remarkably odd.

Madam Villanelle will say that the books someone reads can tell a lot about their character.

You’ll assume that she didn’t reveal any information.

Thankfully, your assumption will be correct, and the Dark Witch left Flourish and Blotts empty-handed.

Madam Villanelle will say that she cares about her patrons, which is why she doesn’t reveal their information to shady witches and wizards.

You’ll thank her for informing you about the Dark Witch.

She’ll ask you to be careful since this witch has more than likely talked to others about you.

You will think for a while and realize there’s a possibility that the Hogwarts mole has been in contact with the Dark Witch.

Mundungus will ask if you have any idea who the mole might be. There are two options to choose from. This choice won’t have any big impact on the story, so feel free to pick either option.

In any case, you will decide to keep your eyes open and figure out why the Dark Witch took interest in you.

On top of that, you’ll have to figure out where she is.

Luckily, Mungungus might have an idea.

You will have to wait three hours until he is ready to meet with you. Since you are most likely low on energy at this point, it is recommended to wait and let your energy recharge in the meantime.

Proceed to the Hog’s Head Inn once the waiting time is over.

When you arrive, you will notice the speech bubbles above some of the characters. Tap on those if you’re interested to see what they have to say.

Fletcher will tell you to lay low and avoid calling him by his name.

As it seems, he was banned from the Hog’s Head Inn quite some time ago.

You’ll be curious to know why he wanted to meet in the place he’s banned from. You will also remind him that you should be looking for the Dark Witch.

Mundungus will simply point out at one of the tables.

You will take a look and notice the Dark Witch sitting at the table.

Fletcher will ask if you are sure it’s the same Dark Witch you saw at ‘R’’s meeting. There are two options to reply with. Both of these will lead to the same outcome, so feel free to take your pick.

Soon after, Mundungus will suggest eavesdropping on the Dark Witch.

This requires earning five stars within three hours. Three stars are needed to pass.

The only 5-cost action here is tied to your character, so focus on your own actions if you want to save a bit of energy. Also, be sure to slide the screen left and right to see all the available actions.

After eavesdropping for a while, you will be certain that the Dark Witch is the same one you saw at ‘R’’s meeting.

You also heard her say something about meeting someone very soon.

Suddenly, you will see her getting ready to leave, so both you and Fletcher will quickly hide.

Luckily, you will manage to hide just in time. Once the coast is clear, you will let out a sigh of relief.

Mundungus will wonder why she’s so curious about you.

You’ll wonder if it has something to do with what the Wizard in White Robes told you about ‘R’.

Fletcher will assume you won’t be sharing that information with him.

You’ll tell him there’s no time for that since the Dark Witch is most likely meeting with the Hogwarts mole soon. Unfortunately, you’ve yet to find out the place of their meeting.

Mundungus will smile and say he might have a lead on it.

Thankfully, he will inform you as soon as he finds out for sure.

He’ll also ask you to bring the Invisibility Cloak with you.

It will take him approximately four hours to get ready. In the meantime, you should wait and let your energy replenish.

Go to Knockturn Alley once the waiting time is over.

When you arrive, you’ll be surprised to see that the only two people in the alley are Fletcher and you.

Apparently, Mundungus wanted to arrive before the meeting.

There are still plenty of unanswered questions you’ll be curious about.

Mundungus will tell you not to worry and suggest talking about everything you’ve learned so far.

This requires earning five stars within eight hours. All five stars are needed to pass.

There are 5-cost actions linked to your character and a skeleton inside Borgin and Burkes. Prioritize these if you want to save as much energy as possible.

You will sum up the things you know about the Dark Witch.

Unfortunately, it won’t be much, so most of your questions will remain unanswered.

You’ll ask Mundungus if he is certain about the meeting.

He’ll offer to treat you to Butterbeer in case he’s wrong.

He will also notice that you have the Invisibility Cloak.

As it turns out, Mundungus has his own Invisibility Cloak too.

Soon enough, he’ll suggest hiding under the cloaks.

Before long, the Dark Witch will arrive at the meeting spot.

Suddenly, you will spot a familiar person approaching her. It will be none other than Merula Snyde.

The Dark Witch will ask if she is ready to join ‘R’.

The Most Powerful Witch at Hogwarts will nod, saying she is ready to join ‘R’’s ranks.

Suddenly, the Dark Witch will change her appearance.

She will tell Merula she’s worthy of joining their ranks.

Your classmate will say she is eager to get the power she deserves.

As it seems, there is one thing she needs to accomplish before gaining that power.

She will have to convince you to join ‘R’ as well.

The Dark Witch will smile at her and say it’s only the start of her journey.

She’ll then grab Merula’s hand, and moments later, the two of them will apparate away.

You will remove your Invisibility Cloak, shocked to learn that the Hogwarts mole is none other than Merula.

This will conclude Chapter 45 of Year 6. Hit the Collect button to claim your rewards.

Now that was certainly a shocking revelation. How is it possible that Merula is the mole? Why does she want to join ‘R’? Is power all she really wants… or is there any other reason? Find out in continuation of this magical story!
Thank you for reading.
