Unlocking the quest
The first opportunity to unlock this side quest appears after completing the Charms Class main quest. You must have the Accio spell unlocked.
Travel to Annex of the Library. The quest giver is Cressida Blume - one of the students.
Rewards for completing the quest
- XP;
- gold - the amount depends on your choice at the end of the quest (up to 300 coins);
- Wand Handle - the Avian - Gray is a cosmetic item, you can choose it after unlocking a new wand in the main storyline.
Collect Cresida's flying books from the library
Use the compass to locate the entrance to the two-story library - you can use the spiral staircase to travel between its floors.
5 books fly around the library (as well as single pages - they don't interest you now). Look at them and activate the Accio spell (R2 + Square). This will allow you to pull books to you. You can also use the Revelio spell to track flying books.
Talk to Cressida
Return to the quest giver. You have a minor choice - you can give her the books right away (first dialogue option) or blackmail her and threaten to keep her diary (second dialogue option). In the latter variant, Cressida will get angry with you and keep in mind that you were mean to her, but you can get more gold from her. The maximum reward is 300 gold.
