What You'll Learn
The Ghost of Our Love quest
The Ghost of Our Love is a side quest in Hogwarts Legacy that is a treasure hunt using a map with floating candles. The quest and the map are acquired differently depending on the Hogwarts House you belong to.
If you're in Gryffindor, you'll find the Ghost of Our Love map and trigger the quest during The Hunt for the Missing Pages, which is the only Gryffindor-specific mission in the Hogwarts Legacy main quest list. For Hufflepuff, the quest is called Prisoner of Love; for Ravenclaw, it's Ollivander's Heirloom; and for Slytherin, it's Scrope's Last Hope.
Regardless of the house you've selected, each of these branching quests will lead you to meet the ghost, Richard Jackdaw, and the quests will usher you toward the area in which you can find the Map with Floating Candles.
Once you have the map, you'll need to head to the Forbidden Forest. Make sure it's night-time, as the final reward for running through this quest can only be obtained at night. Fast travel to the Forbidden Forest Floo Flame and head towards the stone bridge. While next to the bridge, cast Lumos with your wand. A set of floating candles will appear in the air. Follow them over the bridge and into the forest until you come upon a set of chairs and a table with a chest next to them. Open the chest to claim your rewards.

Casting Lumos
Finding the Starting Point
Before casting Lumos, you need to reach the correct location in the Forbidden Forest. The fastest way to get there is by teleporting using the Forbidden Forest Floo Flame. Once you arrive, locate the wooden bridge and turn left to find the stone bridge. This is where you will cast Lumos to summon the floating candles.
To cast Lumos, simply point your wand at the start of the stone bridge. This will illuminate your wand and cause three floating candles to appear. It is important to note that this spell only works at night, so ensure it is nighttime before attempting it. If it is daytime, you can skip to night by opening your map and pressing the "Wait" button.
Following the Candles
Once the floating candles appear, follow them across the bridge and into the Forbidden Forest. Stay on their trail until they eventually stop. The candles will guide you through the forest, leading you towards your ultimate goal.
Completing the Quest
After following the candles to their final destination, you will find a chest. Open this chest to complete the "Ghost of Our Love" quest. Inside, you will discover the treasure that makes your efforts worthwhile. The Map with Floating Candles puzzle is now solved, thanks to your successful casting of Lumos!
Remember, while the starting point of this quest may vary depending on your chosen house, the process of casting Lumos and following the candles remains consistent. Enjoy your adventure in Hogwarts Legacy!
