“Welcome” begins after “The Path” is completed. We continue to be introduced to game elements and the interface. Your Wizard’s Field Guide is provided by the Deputy Headmistress, Professor Matilda Weasley.
The character wakes up in their dormitory and eventually finds the common room. There are three key house members to socialize with before answering a call to the exit, where the Deputy Headmistress awaits them. Professor Weasley produces a Wizards Field Guide and hands it to the player. The book magically explodes, distributing its points of interest across the highlands. Prof. Weasley explains a portion of the guide and the use of the floo network. After some mild interrogation, Professor Fig follows up with you, and your first day begins in earnest.
Before the deputy headmistress shows up, you must meet with three key house members. With quest assists active, they will be listed in your HUD quest info.

Prof. Weasley finishes leading you to the fountain in the Central Hall. She asks the player one question about their trip from London. After you choose how to answer, Prof. Fig arrives. The Deputy Headmistress requests his help with your instruction with the guide and then departs. Fig comments on your answer to Weasley’s question. He then instructs in using the enchanted path function of the guide.
After leaving you to your own devices, the next quests appear in your quest list.
