"It's only been a few days, and the number of people going to Fountain of Fair Fortune is increasing!"

As you pass through the long corridor, you can see the gentle slope leading to the Quidditch Pitch through the tall stone windows.

Harry stopped and looked out the window at the groups of young wizards walking towards the Fountain of Fair Fortune, or returning after fetching water, as well as the many more people gathered around the fountain, and couldn't help but marvel.

Lucien smiled as he looked up at the same spot as Harry.

He never intended to publicize the construction of the Fountain of Fair Fortune, because given the bored nature of the young wizards at school, any new or interesting things they discovered would quickly spread among the group.

Not to mention a magical fountain like the Fountain of Fair Fortune that can make people more beautiful!

The little witches are quite enthusiastic about becoming more beautiful.

The speed at which girls can send messages is truly exceptional.

Often, once the girls in one dorm find out, the whole grade of girls will know; once the grade finds out, the whole college will know; and once the college finds out, the whole university will know within two days.

As expected.

The Fountain of Fair Fortune has only been built for two days, but now, in the mornings and evenings, groups of girls go there to fetch water.

They didn't mind queuing; instead, they used the queuing time as a good opportunity to chat and socialize.

Lucien was glad that the fountain he had built was large enough, and that in addition to the main fountain, there were several interconnected secondary fountains, enough to supply water to dozens of people at the same time.

Otherwise, we really wouldn't be able to handle this wave of enthusiasm.

"Besides the girls, there were boys going to join in the fun too!" Harry pointed out the window, "Look over there."

Lucien looked in the direction he was pointing.

Indeed, a few boys were standing scattered around the fountain.

Some were probably there with their girlfriends, standing aside waiting; others were in groups of three or five, pretending to be "passing by," but their eyes couldn't help but drift towards the fountain; still others simply took bottles or buckets to fill up with water, ignoring the teasing from their companions.

Whether he wanted to boost his looks or take the opportunity to see girls is hard to say.

Perhaps both?

Lucien's exceptional eyesight allowed him to see more clearly. He noticed that two or three boys were being pulled by the arms of girls, half-pushed and half-pulled towards the direction of the Fountain of Fair Fortune.

oh?

Is this... being dragged by his girlfriend to get his looks changed?

Driven by a rare sense of amusement, Lucien slightly activated his Eye of Magic Sight, causing a tiny black vortex to appear at the bottom of his eye.

With improved eyesight, the expressions of those boys became clearly visible.

His face clearly showed his reluctance—frowning, pouting, with an expression that said, "I don't want to use this stuff."

But what about body movements? Although the steps were slow, there was no real backward movement; and the arm being pulled did not show any tendency to struggle free.

Tsk tsk.

His face showed reluctance, but his body language betrayed him.

Lucien's lips curved upwards even further. Perhaps those boys actually wanted to use the Fountain of Fair Fortune, but were too embarrassed to admit it, so they had their girlfriends act out a "I was forced to" situation?

This way, one can save face while enjoying the benefits of the spring water—a win-win situation.

Seeing Lucien smiling and completely relaxed, Harry seized the opportunity to ask a question.

"Lucien," he pointed to his teeth, "Would washing my face and bathing with the water from the Fountain of Fair Fortune improve my teeth? Or do I need to rinse my mouth and brush my teeth with the spring water?"

Lucien looked away and turned to Harry.

Why is this kid suddenly concerned about his teeth?

He briefly explained the magical principle of the Fountain of Fair Fortune, saying that washing your face and rinsing your mouth with the spring water can gradually straighten your teeth to a certain extent—for example, teeth that were originally a little crooked will slowly become straight.

"... However, the effects vary from person to person. For problems like cavities or changes in tooth shape and size, the spring water's effect is limited; in those cases, specialized potions or healing magic would be needed."

After saying that, Lucien glanced at Harry's mouth again.

The teeth look quite healthy, and they're aligned fairly well; there are no obvious problems.

Why did you suddenly ask that?
