"How does it look?"

"Uh, it's gotten smaller and whiter, no, no, it's almost gone!"

Harry's panicked cry echoed through the Room of Requirement.

Seeing Ron's teeth shrink rapidly, Harry scratched his head in frustration and even drew his wand to cast a spell on Ron.

However, this is where Harry's Gryffindor nature comes into play; he doesn't actually know any magic to restore teeth, and his drawing of the wand is just a gesture.

Ron, on the contrary, was much calmer and waved his hand, saying:

"Don't worry, I can just go to the Hospital Wing again. Madam Pomfrey and I are pretty familiar with each other!"

Ron's voice gradually became like that of a toothless old man or woman, and his expression became more kind.

Because they help the twins test out new prank gadgets, whenever there's a symptom that can't be eliminated on its own, the twins take Ron to "visit" Madam Pomfrey, making them regulars at the Hospital Wing.

Although they always received a good scolding from Madam Pomfrey, the three Weasley never tired of it.

Don't let Ron's calm demeanor fool you; his fierce, Lions nature was already on full display. While Harry was still hesitating, Ron downed the potion in one gulp. The unspoken reason was that it smelled sweet, unlike poison, and besides, Madam Pomfrey was there to back him up.

It's less a physiological resistance and more a psychological one.

Harry couldn't help but slap his forehead, then swung his wand to pack the potion-making tools into his Shrinking Satchel before taking Ron to the Hospital Wing.

He felt that potion improvement was always just one step away from being perfect, but he didn't know how to break through. He couldn't very well ask Snape for advice...

Harry found the thought of that scene bizarre.

"You're all here?"

Harry's thoughts were interrupted by the sudden sound, and at the same time, he felt a hand on his shoulder. He instinctively turned his head to look—

Ron also turned around.

"Lucien?!"

Upon seeing Lucien's familiar face, Harry and Ron were both stunned, thinking they were hallucinating.

Wasn't the other team supposed to be in Beauxbatons, a foreign country, for an exchange tournament? Why are they suddenly back?

Ron frowned and looked at Lucien suspiciously, asking:

"George Fred? You've come up with another new prank?"

It's no wonder Ron reacted this way; the twins have been tinkering with all sorts of strange magical items lately, creating things that allow them to transform into other people's appearances...

Lucien glanced at Harry and Ron, especially at the latter's lisp and his gaping teeth, then raised his wand and tapped it lightly.

Ron's uneven teeth were instantly restored, even becoming neater and whiter than before.

Harry's lips twitched slightly at the sight. He thought to himself, "Maybe I should go ask Snape. Otherwise, when will that potion be finished? At worst, I'll just have to drink a few more bottles of Vision-Clearing Potion and take off my glasses..."

After his teeth were restored, Ron gently bit down a few times and felt that they were even more secure than before. It seemed that the cavities that had just grown in were gone.

Ron was certain that the person in front of him was not Fred or George in disguise. If the twins had seen his embarrassing state just now, they would have laughed at him first, then helped him walk around the castle a few times before taking him to the Hospital Wing, instead of casually healing him with magic.

"Lucien, why are you back? The exchange matches are still several days away!"

"Well, I snuck back," Lucien put his right index finger to his lips. "I have some things to take care of. Can you do me a favor?"

Although he was very curious about how Lucien had "sneaked" back and what his experience was like in Beauxbatons, Harry Ron agreed to Lucien's request first.

Lucien then handed the two thick stacks of questionnaires and explained the specific details.

"Distribute these to the other students. Don't worry about collecting them; they'll automatically return here after they've been answered..."

As he spoke, Lucien pulled out a pink mailbox and handed it to Harry, about to explain how to use this alchemical mailbox—

"Goo--Goo!!!"

Lucien was startled by the sudden, strange cry. He turned around and saw a metallic object that looked like an owl waddling along on the ground, its rear end swaying.

In fact, apart from its appearance, neither its calls nor its behavior resemble an owl.

Ron, looking embarrassed, rushed over and put the owl away.

Lucien thought he needed to ask other familiar classmates for help, so he said a quick goodbye and hurriedly left the Room of Requirement.

Harry and Ron then looked closely at the thick stack of papers and saw a bunch of questions about Valentine's Day. They looked up at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

Is Lucien interested in Valentine's Day?
