The Ghost of Our Love quest in Hogwarts Legacy involves a Map with Floating Candles and is unique in that it varies depending on the player character's house. The map can be found during one of the House-exclusive quests, about two to three hours into the game. The map is not part of the main quest objectives, but players can backtrack to its location if they missed it on their first visit. The map will lead players to an area just outside Hogwarts Castle.

Make sure it's night
To ensure it's night in the floating candles quest, you must change the time of day if needed. This can be done by accessing your map and pressing the "Wait" button. On Windows, the "Wait" button is "F", while on Xbox and Steam Deck, it's the "Right Stick".
Once it's night, head to the Forbidden Forest Floo Flame and make your way towards the stone bridge, not the wooden one. Stand next to the bridge and cast Lumos with your wand. Three floating candles will appear in the air. Follow these candles over the wooden bridge and into the Forbidden Forest. They will lead you to a table with a chest containing your rewards.
It's important to note that the day/night cycle in the game can be a bit confusing, so make sure you're casting Lumos at night, at the exact spot where you picked up the letter at the bridge. Sometimes it may look like night, but it's actually early morning, so be mindful of the timing.
Completing the quest at night is crucial, as the final reward can only be obtained under the cover of darkness. So, remember to adjust the time of day if needed and cast Lumos with your wand to summon the floating candles and complete the quest.

Find the letter
To find the letter in the floating candles quest, you need to head to the bridge near the entrance to the Forbidden Forest. This is the stone bridge, not the wooden one, and it's the same bridge you cross when travelling to Hogsmeade with Sebastian or Natty in an early quest. Make sure it's night-time, as the quest can only be completed after dark. Check the bridge's railing for a love letter, and once you've found it, read it. After that, cast Lumos with your wand, and floating candles should appear.

Follow the candles
To follow the candles, you must first obtain the Map with Floating Candles. The method for obtaining the map varies depending on the House you have selected.
If you are a Gryffindor, you must speak to Sir Patrick Delaney-Poddmore during The Hunt for the Missing Pages quest. The map can then be found in the crypt next to the ghost.
If you are a Slytherin, you must progress through the Scrope's Last Hope quest and reach Apollonia's Grotto, a cave underneath Hogwarts with a red squid painted on the wall. Place a piece of toast on the pedestal to unlock a secret area, where you will find a chest containing the map.
Once you have obtained the map, head to the Forbidden Forest at night. If it is not already night, you can change the time of day by opening your map and pressing the Wait button.
Fast travel to the Forbidden Forest Floo Flame and make your way towards the stone bridge. Stand next to the bridge and cast Lumos with your wand. Three floating candles will appear. Follow these candles over the bridge and into the forest. They will lead you to a table with a chest, which contains your reward.

Complete the quest
To complete the "Ghost of Our Love" quest in Hogwarts Legacy, you must first obtain the Map with Floating Candles. The method for obtaining the map varies depending on the house you belong to. Here are the steps for each house:
Gryffindor:
After completing the "Trials of Merlin" main quest and attending all your classes, you'll receive a letter through Owl Post, assigning you a new House-specific quest. Speak to Sir Patrick Delaney-Poddmore during "The Hunt for the Missing Pages" quest, and you'll find the map in the crypt next to the ghost.
Slytherin:
Progress through the "Scrope's Last Hope" quest and reach Apollonia's Grotto, the cave underneath Hogwarts with a red squid painted on the wall. Place a piece of toast on the pedestal to unlock a secret area. Find the chest on the right, which contains the map. After speaking to Ollivander, head to the Owlery located southwest of Hogwarts. At the top of the Owlery, on the southern side, you'll find the map on the ground.
Other Houses:
For Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, the process may involve quests such as "Ollivander's Heirloom" or "Prisoner of Love." These quests can provide you with the Map with Floating Candles as a reward.
Once you have the map, make sure it's nighttime. Fast travel to the Forbidden Forest Floo Flame and head towards the stone bridge (not the wooden one). Cast Lumos with your wand, and three floating candles will appear. Follow these candles over the bridge and into the forest until you reach a table with a chest. Open the chest to claim your rewards, completing the quest.
