Preparing to Return to Hogwarts
In the Beauxbatons dormitory temporarily assigned to the exchange contestants, Lucien was hunched over his desk, his quill pen scratching across parchment.
At the very top of the page is a slightly embellished, enlarged title:
What are your expectations for Valentine's Day at Hogwarts?
Below the title are several questions that are currently being drafted:
1. What kind of atmosphere do you envision for Valentine's Day at Hogwarts? (Multiple selections allowed)
[A] Romantic and cozy, with magical decorations and soft lighting everywhere.
[B] Lively and fun, with group games or activities that everyone can participate in.
[C] Freedom and privacy, providing more magical spaces suitable for being alone.
[D] Other (please describe briefly): _______
2. If you were to organize some small events, which type would you be more interested in? (Multiple selections allowed)
[A] A magically guided "anonymous blessing" delivery (ensuring the message reaches the recipient while concealing one's identity).
[B] A "photo corner" assisted by Magical Creatures or alchemical creations.
[C] A small station offering simple magical dessert making experiences.
[D] Other:_______
3. What specific "magical atmosphere" effects would you like to see in the castle? (For example: floating candles that turn into hearts, mist that changes color depending on the mood of passersby, a fairy choir singing love poems, etc.)
Your suggestion: _______
Lucien put down his pen and examined these questions.
It felt like I was transported back to my past life, to the time when I was designing holiday social practice surveys in college.
By the time we return to Hogwarts after the exchange tournament, Valentine's Day will be very close.
To repay the fire element loan and cosplay as Cupid for Valentine's Day, we need to figure out what the students really want beforehand.
As for the system's requirement to "enhance the festive atmosphere with magical means," it was a relatively simple technical step for Lucien, and he could always prepare it in advance.
He revised the wording of two questions, and it sounded slightly better than before.
Okay, once the questionnaire is designed, I'll ask Harry and the others to help distribute it at Hogwarts.
This semester at Hogwarts, without the threat of the Basilisk and the diary, it should truly be the "safest place"...
Thinking of this, Lucien put down his quill and rubbed his temples.
Speaking of which Riemann just said in a hurry that he was short of materials, and it will indeed take a few days for the owl to go back and forth to deliver the materials.
Since I'm planning to use the Apparition of the Liuguang to get back to Hogwarts quickly anyway, I might as well help him retrieve the materials he needs.
Liuguang has grown significantly in the past two years, and his ability to Apparition over long distances has been significantly and noticeably enhanced. Now, he can probably get from Beauxbatons to Hogwarts with only one or two short transfers, which is as efficient as Portkey and doesn't involve that nauseating and dizzying experience.
Lucien thought of Riemann's joke again, suggesting he could ask him for advice on Valentine's Day. Speaking of which, maybe he should design another questionnaire for these kinds of students.
Traditional owl mail delivery is indeed not very timely.
If smartphones become widespread, we can communicate about these things with just a text message.
If even items could be teleported in some form, what if we had a wizarding version of delivery services...?
Lucien shook his head, temporarily suppressing this wandering thought.
One must take things one step at a time. Let's first perfect and promote the magical items for remote communication, and then consider things that benefit the wizarding world later.
