This quest is located in The Library Annex.

You’ll want to speak with Cressida Blume in the northern part of Central Hall.

It seems like she’s the type to carry around a lot of books with her, but was getting tired with carrying so many around all the time. I feel like I can relate on this one, because when I was at school, I hardly ever used my locker, preferring to carrying everything. And trust me when I say, that shit got heavy, and I was a fast walker because my arms would get tired a lot.

But I hated the idea of forgetting my locker combination and not being able to get into it.

Or needing to stop by my locker and becoming late for class. Those kinds of nightmares still haunt me even though those years are far behind me at this point.

Collect Cressida’s flying books from the library (0/5)

Enter the library and all you have to do is Accio the books flying around, plus her journal, which you’re free to read.

However, upon looking for these books and collecting them, you might also notice that there’s another one flying around. There’s actually a Field Guide Page in all the clutter of the air, so if you haven’t grabbed that one already, then you’ll probably be getting 5 books and 1 page. Which isn’t bad at all.

There are 2 books and Cressida’s diary flying around the first floor.

The other 2 books can be found on the second floor.


What does Cressida’s diary say?

Today was a good day. That is, until Garreth splashed whatever ridiculous concoction he was ‘creating’ all over my perfectly stewed lacewing flies. Had to empty my entire cauldron and start all over again.

He is such a menace. Thinks he knows everything there is to know about potions. Always disrupting Professor Sharp’s class with his experiments.

I’m utterly convinced that if he wasn’t Professor Weasley’s nephew, he would’ve been expelled by now.

Arbroath smokies again tonight for dinner. I’m becoming more partial to them now. Although, I still prefer meat pie.


Talk to Cressida

When you’re turning in the quest and handing the books back to Cressida, you have two choices.

  • Here you go will just have you handing her her things and that’s that!
  • Perhaps a reward — to keep the diary a secret will initiate another two choices of whether to joke or not.
    • Perhaps I’m not will grant you 300g
