Hogwarts' Great Hall was spacious and bright, with magnificent crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, each lamp reflecting dazzling light.
The long dining tables were laden with delicious, tempting food, enough to make anyone salivate at a glance.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione casually found a table and sat down, beginning to sample the lavish dinner—
It was already quite late, and there were many empty tables in the Great Hall. They were covered with all kinds of food: golden roast turkey, fried prawns giving off an enticing aroma, cream of mushroom soup, and roasted vegetable salad.
All they had to do was point their knives and forks at the food, and it would fly over by itself—
This was also one of Tierra's magical reforms at Hogwarts: magic for automatic food service.
"Honestly, Hermione, New Tyneham Village is absolutely amazing!" Ron said excitedly.
As they ate, Ron and Harry chatted about what they had seen that day in New Tyneham Village and New Hogsmeade Village.
"You really missed out by not going!" Ron continued. "New Hogsmeade Village is completely different from the original Hogsmeade Village! They repaved the main road in New Hogsmeade Village. Can you believe it? It's made of marble! They actually paved the road with marble!"
"The whole village feels different too. It's become more square and orderly. Um, Harry told me what that was called. It's called... it's called..."
"Modernization," Harry reminded him.
"Oh, right, right, modernization!" Ron said.
"And the shops there—they've even added lots of Muggle shops!" Ron continued. "There are those electric... elec..."
"Appliance stores," Harry added.
"Right, appliance stores. They're full of things that can move by themselves without waving a wand or using magic," Ron said.
"Muggle shops? You mean they opened Muggle shops in Hogsmeade Village?" Hermione asked with interest.
