Chapter 4 - Lock Up | Hogwarts Cafe (2024)

Introduction

Hello everyone, welcome to our Walkthrough for Chapter Four of Beyond Hogwarts: Volume Two of Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery. In the bustling city of New York, you found yourself in a rather unconventional situation—spawning right into a fountain and causing quite a stir among the locals. It was an unexpected start to your latest case, one that led you straight to MACUSA, where you sought out your old friend Ben. However, he was barely recognizable, having undergone significant physical changes since your last encounter. Despite this, Ben’s workload kept him busy, as he had to Obliviate the witnesses who had seen your fountain incident.

Later, you crossed paths with Vega, who reassured you that it’s normal to feel a bit lost at the start of a case. She reminded you to take your time in assessing the situation. Following this advice, you regrouped with your friends at the Ministry, who were abuzz with excitement, especially Barnaby, eagerly anticipating an event at Flourish and Blotts. With so much happening, it’s clear that this chapter of your journey will be full of surprises and new challenges.

Gilderoy Lockhart will then chime in, saying that he understood you disobeyed Madam Umbridge and snuck into the club regardless.

You’ll explain to Gilderoy Lockhart that you had a good reason for sneaking into the club, but he’ll respond that no reason is good enough to besmirch a club with him as a member.

If you like Glideroy Lockhart, it is recommended to pick the first option.

Ruby will acknowledge that she’s not part of ROCC but expresses her excitement about the opportunity to prove that she’s not inherently a bad person, just someone who made bad choices.

You’ll find out that Verucca is indeed in Azkaban and has never left.

These options will influence some dialogue that will follow, but they won’t impact the story.

Callum will reveal that the Verucca you saw was actually an imposter, not the real Verucca. You’ll question why someone would impersonate Verucca just to reverse Jacob’s curse, and how this imposter knew how to reverse the curse, especially given that you had tried everything without success.
