Faced with Klon's invitation to bathe together, the other roommates responded enthusiastically.

"I'm going to pass; I have too much to organize."

Not to mention the mountain of books and the suitcase Adam carried, Adam had also sent six boxes of luggage to Hogwarts via owl post.

With so much stuff, even basic organization would take some effort.

"The organizing shouldn't be that urgent, right? Just take out what you'll need for class, and we can help you with the rest when we don't have classes on the weekend."

"Yeah, yeah, if you don't shower, you'll get the bed dirty, and then you'll have to wash the sheets and blankets."

"You don't have to worry about that."

Adam smiled and reached inside his cloak, actually summoning his wand directly from his palm, pointing it at himself:

"Scourgify!"

The roommates watched as a gust of wind swept over Adam, leaving him spotless, and couldn't help but glance at the mountain of books beside him.

Okay, so maybe buying all those books wasn't a waste.

"Although this spell isn't as comfortable as a hot bath, it does save time... Do you guys want to try it?"

Adam looked at the four of them eagerly.

"No, no, I still want to take a hot bath."

After Klon said that, Bernard and Eugene also nodded in agreement, but Uther, touching his chin, considered it for a while before deciding to take a hot bath.

"Then we'll go test the water temperature in the bathroom for you first~"

The roommates closed the dorm door, and Adam looked at the top of his luggage, where there was a letter tied with a bow.

Opening the envelope and setting aside the flowery language, Dumbledore invited him to the Headmaster's office on the eighth floor tomorrow afternoon to enjoy afternoon tea with him, and included the password—Coconut Ice.

Recalling the taste of this snack, Adam couldn't help but lick his lips.

Have to say, the desserts in the magical world are pretty good.

Putting the letter away, Adam didn't start organizing his luggage right away, but took Suppi and Kero out of his pocket; they had also eaten some during the dinner.

"You guys should take a bath too. Scourgify? Or Bubble Card?"

The magic of the Bubble Card can conjure pink bubbles with cleaning power, which can clean people or objects thoroughly.

After Suppi told him not to limit his imagination, Adam felt that this card might be able to develop the fruit ability of a certain navy chief of staff, but currently Adam obviously doesn't have the level to modify the magic of the Clow Cards, so the current Bubble Card is temporarily no different from Scourgify except for the cleaning method.

As for using the Bubble Card to solve problems that can be solved with Scourgify is a bit of a waste, although Adam can still only use one Clow Card a day, it's already evening, so it's okay to use today's chance here.

"Let's just use Scourgify~"

Kero raised his hand and waved it, "Let's save today's chance for the Sweet Card~"

Suppi also nodded in agreement.

"You really can't forget about the Sweet Card, huh."

Obviously, this wasn't the first time, Adam helplessly reached out and ruffled Kero's head, "Then you guys can take a bath after you're done eating."

Taking out a large bag of compressed cotton from the suitcase, Adam took out a small piece and pulled it loose, turning a corner the size of a thumb into a ball the size of a pillow, then stretched out his hands to summon the Sealing Wand and the Sweet Card:

"Release!"

The Sweet Card spirit, smaller than a palm and like a fairy, emerged from the card and flew around Adam.

"Turn this ball of cotton into ."

After hearing Adam's words, the Sweet Card spirit flew over the cotton and sprinkled glittering powder with its small wand, and the cotton stained with the powder immediately emitted the fragrance of white sugar.

This is the ability of the Sweet Card; it can sweeten the taste of food, and it can also turn any object into food without changing its shape.

This seems to violate the rule that the Transfiguration Charm cannot conjure food, but in fact this kind of magic belongs to alchemy rather than transfiguration. There are similar spells in the wizarding magic system, but it is not the Transfiguration Charm, but Aguamenti—the water conjured by this spell can be drunk and quench thirst.

At the same time, the conjured by the Sweet Card is not strictly , but a magical item.

Although it looks like , smells like , feels like , and tastes like , these are all the magical effects of this magical item. It is still not —so eating it will not have any effects such as tooth decay that may be caused by eating sugar.

More importantly, because the Sweet Card did not conjure , but conjured a magical item that conformed to all the characteristics of in Adam's cognition in terms of taste, the sweets it can turn into are not limited by whether Adam knows its production process, but by whether Adam knows its taste.

Adam was able to continue his long-lost fizzy cola with this, and it was a healthy version that wouldn't lose its fizz over time.

Using Aguamenti to create a glass of water and having the Sweet Card turn it into a glass of cola, Adam took a sip and looked at Kero and Suppi, who were about to take a bath and could dive into it:

"You guys eat slowly, I'm going to organize my luggage."

"Mmm, mmm~"

Kero spared the time to wave his hand to indicate that he knew, SuppiSuppi, who gets a sugar rush as soon as he eats sweets, was already lost in it.

"Grow bigger quickly—"

"Shrink smaller quickly—"

"Wingardium Leviosa—"

After washing up, Adam's roommates were completely stunned by the transformed dorm.

Eugene froze in the doorway as soon as he opened the door. Uther had to shove him a few times to squeeze past, only to strike the same pose as Eugene:

OoO

"What are you guys doing at the door? I didn't dry off very well, and it's cold out here!"

Klon, not quite tall enough, couldn't squeeze in and could only hop around outside the door.

"What's going on? I see k- wow—!"

Bernard stared in shock at the scene before him:

The dorm was still the same dorm, but opposite the four-poster beds, the empty space now held three rows of floor-to-ceiling log cabinets, five small sofas, a floor-standing brass heater, a full-length mirror... especially around Adam's four-poster bed, it was a complete transformation!

Adam was sitting on one of the small sofas, with two kittens playing on his lap. Seeing them return, he looked at them nervously:

"Sorry, I made some rather large changes. I was just a bit too tired tonight, and this is just a temporary measure to get everything out. If you don't like it, I'll find another place for the things that are taking up common space over the weekend."

"No—I absolutely love it!"

Klon, who had finally squeezed into the dorm, exclaimed, walking over to one of the small sofas and pressing it with his hand. The soft, comfortable touch made him feel a little itchy:

"Can I sit here?"

"Of course, I prepared five!"

With the Twin Card in hand, Adam could replicate a large number of identical copies of anything he had.

After Klon sat down, his body, relaxed from the hot shower, sank directly into the sofa, causing him to exclaim:

"I love this thing so much. It's softer than a Puffskein plushie—can I sit here and play Wizard's Chess?"

"Of course."

Adam gestured towards the round table that had originally been in the dorm, now placed by Adam in the middle of the five sofas, "But I don't know how to play Wizard's Chess, so you'll have to find someone else to play with you."

"I can teach you!"
