After the first encounter with the troll in Hogsmeade, head back to The Three Broomsticks and eventually, you’ll meet a character called Clementine Willardsey. She’ll ask you to follow some butterflies deep into the Forbidden Forest. To get started, fast travel to the Forbidden Forest Floo marker then head north—a butterfly icon should appear on your minimap and you’ll see a swarm of colourful insects soon enough.

Follow them for a few moments and they’ll reveal a chest to you, which is the case for all butterfly swarms.
