Please note, I currently do not have a wizard weaving Life, this is the best image of Herswione I could find. If you have images of Bacon, Ron, or Herswione, PLEASE get them to me. I will be EVER so thankful.
This particular side-quest is only accessible if your Wizard is weaved into Life School.
It appears to the Trees of the Blended Grove that magic weaving is having some unintended consequences. Serge is convinced that Intersections of Iconic history are calling down different energies from the ether. Morrison is convinced this unplanned by-product of magic weaving must be stopped before it destroys us all. Viv and Old Sage calmly suggest that instead of panicking, research is required. They send you to Wysteria to talk to some of the students as the old growth trees native to Wysteria aren’t very chatty through the ley lines of the Spiral.
Herswione Grazer is the third Pigswick Academy student you encounter who is willing to speak with you. She is an Earth Wizard and thinks it’s delightfully quaint that your wizard is studying Life Magic. She agrees to accompany Your Wizard to Avalon to complete the Ritual of Spring to help the Soil Colossus recall the memories contained in the dirt. The Garden Colossus is able to provide Your Wizard with an answer.
Huh. None of that made any sense to me, but I hope you got what you needed. At Pigswick Academy, we always believe in helping those beneath us. – Herswione Grazer
Hermione Jean Granger is a fictional character in the Harry Potter series of novels by J. K. Rowling. She first appeared in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (1997), as a first-year student on her way to Hogwarts. She becomes friends with Harry Potter and Ron Weasley after they save her from a troll in the girls’ bathroom. Hermione often uses her quick wit, deft recall, and encyclopedic knowledge to help her friends in perilous situations. Rowling has stated that Hermione resembles herself as a young girl, with her insecurity and fear of failure.
Hermione has been immensely popular. The version of the character portrayed by Emma Watson in all eight Harry Potter films was voted the best female character of all time in a 2016 poll of Hollywood professionals conducted by The Hollywood Reporter. Arabella Stanton portrays her in the upcoming television series.
Hermione is introduced in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (1997) when she meets Harry Potter and Ron Weasley on the Hogwarts Express. After mocking Ron for his inability to perform a spell, she proves her knowledge by declaring that she has memorized all their school textbooks. At Hogwarts, Hermione annoys other students with her vast knowledge, and Harry and Ron consider her arrogant. They heartily dislike her until they rescue her from a troll; she is so thankful that she lies to protect them from punishment, thus winning their friendship. Later, Hermione’s knack for logic and her penchant for library research aid the trio in their quest to locate a magical object known as the Philosopher’s Stone. On their way to the Stone, Hermione solves a puzzle and defeats the dangerous Devil’s Snare plant.
Rowling said she resisted requests by her editor to remove the troll scene. She explained later, “Hermione [is] so very arrogant and annoying in the early part of Philosopher’s Stone that I really felt it needed something (literally) huge to bring her together with Harry and Ron.”
