To start Like a Moth to a Frame, you will want to speak to Lenora Everleigh. She will be in the Central Hall, near the fountain, looking at a painting that appears to be black. Go up and talk to her with playstation square button/button xbox x v2.

She will reveal that this portrait, and others, have recently appeared around Hogwarts, and that she isn’t sure what to do with them. She will also tell you that casting Lumos has an effect on the painting.

After the conversation, simply walk up to the painting and cast Lumos. This will reveal a nearby location for you to find.

The location in question is just down some stairs from where you are. Head right to the southwest end of the room, and then down some stairs, where you will come across a statue of Gregory the Smarmy (and an associated guide page, revealed with Revelio) and — more importantly — a moth on the wall next to it.

Once you find the moth, walk up to it and cast Lumos again. The moth will swirl around your wand, letting you lead it where it needs to go.

Once the moth is following your wand, go back up the stairs and to the painting (1). Once there, simply end Lumos and the moth will nestle into its slot in the painting (2). After a brief animation, you will get a guide page.

After returning the moth to the painting, you can report back to Lenora for your rewards. This will complete the quest, though there are more dark portraits to be found around Hogwarts yet…
