On the grassy path leading to the Quidditch Pitch, the morning mist gradually dissipated, and sunlight slanted in from the direction of the castle.

After listening to Lucien's explanation of the Fountain of Fair Fortune's functions, Qiu's gaze fell on the nearly completed magic fountain, her dark eyes gleaming with eager anticipation.

"Lucien, is this fountain really like the Fountain of Fair Fortune in Beauxbatons, capable of making people more beautiful?"

Her tone betrayed her excitement and joy, and she tightened her grip on the broom.

After all, what girl would refuse to be more beautiful?

Lucien's hands didn't stop moving; he adjusted the subtle magical nodes of his wand as he embedded the rune plate into the base, explaining as he did so.

The original Fountain of Fair Fortune in Beauxbatons is primarily known for its excellent cleansing properties, which make the skin appear brighter and more radiant—in other words, "Make you look more beautiful."

After being improved, and if one continues to use the water from the Fountain of Fair Fortune to wash their face and bathe, it can subtly adjust one's appearance.

It primarily addresses facial development issues caused by breathing habits, dietary preferences, or even speech patterns.

"For example, facial asymmetry caused by habitually chewing on one side, or a receding chin caused by long-term mouth breathing. Adjust these 'acquired problems' to their ideal state."

"But not a complete transformation," Lucien added. "Everyone has their limits; you can't just use them up and become a completely different person. That's not magic anymore; it's, well, a kind of cosmetic sorcery..."

Qiu listened attentively, her eyes sparkling.

She subconsciously touched her cheek, seemingly imagining what it would look like after the adjustment.

As they spoke, the last component of the Fountain of Fair Fortune was assembled.

Lucien took two steps back, raised his wand, and waved it gently.

Magic surged from the tip of the staff, flowing into the rune array at the center of the fountain.

Then, layers of light appeared at the bottom of the spring pool—silver, pale gold, and light blue light flowed in succession, like a pulse being awakened.

A moment later, a slender stream of water rose from the center of the pool, drew an elegant arc in the air, and fell back into the pool, making a crisp and melodious tinkling sound.

The spring water flowed gently, shimmering with tiny sparkles in the morning light.

Seeing this, Qiu couldn't help but take a step forward.

"Lucien, can I try it first?"

Her tone carried a hint of expectation, yet also a touch of embarrassment.

Lucien raised his hand and waved, smiling as he said, "Please."

He replicated this magical fountain originally for Hogwarts students, as a kind of campus Fawley.

I just got back and immediately started working overtime to finish this, all to add a bit more to the Valentine's Day atmosphere.

The young wizards will probably feel more confident after using the spring water.

Qiu put down the broom and quickly walked to the edge of the spring pool.

She crouched down and gently scooped up a handful of spring water. The water shimmered faintly in her palm and felt cool and smooth to the touch.

Qiu took a deep breath and splashed the spring water on her cheeks.

The slightly cool touch made her shiver slightly, but then an indescribable feeling of comfort seeped into her skin, as if countless tiny pores were opening up at the same time.

Qiu closed her eyes and felt for a few seconds, then opened them and subconsciously reached into her pocket for a small mirror.

But her fingers touched the hard protective gear, and she awkwardly tried to pull her hand back.

Lucien watched all this and casually waved his wand.

In the spring pool, a stream of water rose up in response, unfolded in mid-air, and quickly condensed into a smooth, mirror-like surface.

The water was smooth and clear, reflecting Qiu's face.

Qiu paused for a moment, then carefully examined the "water mirror".

She turned her face slightly to the side, then turned her head again, carefully observing the effects of using the spring water.

Of course, the results won't be immediate.

The beauty benefits of spring water require consistent use over a long period; it's not a magic trick that produces immediate results.

But in Qiu's own eyes, the face in the mirror seemed a little fairer and more radiant—perhaps it was just psychological, or perhaps it really worked.

She smiled slightly at herself in the mirror, a hint of amusement in her dark eyes.

"It feels like... something has really changed?"

Qiu spoke uncertainly, but her tone carried a clear joy.

Riemann stood by and witnessed the entire scene.

When he saw Lucien casually wave his hand and make the water freeze into a mirror, he raised an eyebrow slightly.

That's a great move!

You must learn.

Riemann silently noted it down in his mind. If he could do this when he went on a date with his fiancée—conjure a water mirror while walking by the lake and let her see how he looked nestled beside him—the effect would be better than any gift.

Hey, this junior is really talented.

Every aspect.
