"Morning, Lucien."
Terry greeted Lucien out of habit.
But when he saw Lucien emerge from behind the bed curtains fully dressed and even wearing shoes, looking fresh as a daisy, Terry was puzzled.
"Lucien, what's this?"
Lucien lowered the curtains and said casually, "I just cleared a plot of land and built a house."
"Uh, Lucien, it seems you're quite a humorous fellow too."
Lucien was not surprised by Terry's reaction.
Honestly, since they shared a dormitory, Terry was bound to notice something unusual sooner or later after Lucien had turned his bed into a "little pocket dimension."
So Lucien had not intended to hide it. Though this sort of thing was somewhat uncommon for a first-year wizard—
But it was magic. Nothing that happened was really strange.
He had said it anyway. Whether Terry believed him was another matter.
"By the way, want to go have breakfast together, Lucien? I happen to have some questions about Charms I'd like to ask you."
"Come to think of it, the Great Hall has had lots of new dishes since yesterday. There are quite a few new breakfast options alone."
"They all taste great. I heard they're Eastern dishes or something—youtiao, doufunao, wontons..."
As Terry listed off the dishes, Lucien nodded almost imperceptibly.
Those House-elves were really efficient. He had only taught them Chinese recipes a few days ago, and they were already officially serving them in the Great Hall?
"Sure, let's go together."
The two made their way to the Great Hall.
"Phew~~"
Lucien gently blew on the hot steam rising from the wontons before scooping one into his mouth with a spoon.
Not bad. Those elves really were skilled.
The flavor was recreated quite well, with thin wrappers and generous filling.
"Lucien? What a coincidence."
