A Happy Life Together

Overall, some things in the Wizarding World are too outdated, while others are incredibly convenient.

For example, washing dishes. Dishwashing machines are expensive and don't always get the dishes clean, but a cleaning magic trick can easily solve these chores.

The only thing William couldn't stand was that wizards didn't use electricity, let alone any electrical appliances, not even the most basic electric lights.

Hogwarts also frequently lit rows of candles and oil lamps.

The atmosphere is there.

but...

Doesn't your eye get dry after using it for a long time?

Fortunately, there are Muggle in the village, so stealing electricity... cough cough, illegally connecting to the circuit... is still very convenient!

William is incompetent; he's more likely to get electrocuted if he carelessly touches a high-voltage line.

Fortunately Nicolas can help; his family has trained all sorts of House-elf, including a group of electrician House-elf.

The old man keeps up with the times and enjoys appreciating Muggle items; otherwise, his long life would be too boring.

His vast estate even includes several wind power plants, enabling it to be self-sufficient.

Using magic to power a windmill—what a brilliant idea!

Moreover, it's completely clean and convenient, which William greatly admires. He plans to set up a generator at home in the future, as he currently has to rely on the country's electricity.

Therefore, magic and technology are never mutually exclusive; combining them can only make life more comfortable.

Most wizards fail to recognize this. It is Nicolas Flamel, an old man who has lived for six hundred years, who sees it more clearly.

The entire building's design was also done by Nicolas's family's House-elf.

However, it seems the other party has taken inspiration from the master I. M. Pei and is even planning to build a glass pyramid in front of William's small building.

Do you think this is the Louvre?!

Aside from the minor drawback that the other party always wanted to undertake a large-scale project, William was generally satisfied with the overall interior design.

The lowest floor is the basement, where he crafts and brews Potions; the first floor is the living room; the second floor is his bedroom; and the third floor is his study, filled with books that William uses for his daily studies.

The house also includes a bathroom, wine cellar, pantry, wardrobe, kitchen, and dining room, among other things.

There's also a large fireplace, which is already connected to the Floo Network.

These renovations cost William a lot of Galleon, but luckily he's not short of money right now, otherwise he really couldn't afford it.

From the huge balcony on the second floor, you can also overlook the garden and the meadow that stretches diagonally towards the river.

Absolutely perfect.

William led Hermione and Anne on a tour, and they started arguing again.

It's just about the boring thing of whose room is decorated better.

William ignored the two of them; he hadn't even finished playing the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game on his new console downstairs.

Nintendo spent so much money developing games just to win his favor.

Doesn't it smell good?!

Chirp chirp!

In the morning, I heard birds chirping outside the window.

The cooler lowered the room temperature to a comfortable level.

This is a new alchemical item developed by William. It is similar to an air conditioner, but it does not require electricity and does not produce polluting gases.

At its core is a stone engraved with Ancient Runes script inscribed with Freezing Charm.

Of course, it was much more complicated to make than it sounds, and it took William more than two weeks.

He has already started stocking his store in Diagon Alley, and the price is not expensive, only 600 Galleon.

William's alchemical items are now very popular in Diagon Alley.

He himself has gone through a cycle of time, and with the guidance of the master Nicolas Flamel, his level has already reached a very high level.

For a wizard of his level, making money couldn't be easier.

A cool breeze blew open the curtains, and sunlight streamed into the room through the gaps.

William woke up after nine o'clock, probably because he had gone to bed too late the night before.

Yesterday, the three of us squeezed onto the sofa to watch a horror movie until after 1 a. m.

Finally Hermione and Anne couldn't stay awake any longer and fell asleep on the sofa. William had to carry them back to their respective rooms.

William was just about to turn over and go back to sleep when an impatient voice rang out, followed by a wet little tongue licking his cheek.

The description is naturally sensual and alluring, but judging from the prickly sensation on his tongue, William knew it was definitely... Bobocha.

Speaking of Bobocha, its school schedule was a complete mess!

At night, he would sneak out to have affairs with Mrs. Norris, William often heard complaints from the portraits that the Bobocha was disturbing their sleep.

But when it returned home for summer vacation, it maintained a good sleep schedule, going to bed at nine o'clock every night and waking up promptly at six twenty in the morning.

After going to the toilet, kneading the breast, and taking a walk, they complete this routine before heading off to eat.

It's clearly past mealtime, and the angry cat has come looking for its human, William.

Bobocha almost never eats cat food. Although that stuff is supposed to be nutritionally balanced, it's like a person constantly eating compressed biscuits instead of a balanced diet.

No matter how nutritious it is, you can imagine how bad it tastes.

Would you rather eat a balanced but unpalatable nutritional supplement for three meals a day, or have a variety of dishes that are never the same, such as Haidilao, stir-fries, barbecue, roast duck, beer, and fried chicken?

Even if the latter few items contain many carcinogens?

Even if the nutrient solution could guarantee you ten more years of life, you probably wouldn't want to eat that stuff for the rest of your life.

It's true that cats can't eat high-sodium human food, so William makes Bobocha a light diet, like boiled fish and chicken breast.

Bobocha also has a whole cabinet full of pet snacks, and various cat food cans are its daily favorites.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be so fat now.

After William finished washing up, he made breakfast for Bobocha and then started preparing breakfast for Hermione and Anne.

William is indeed missing a House-elf; it seems he'll need to ask Nicolas for one.

Nicolas's house has the largest number of House-elf outside of Hogwarts.

His House-elf were also categorized into different professions: chef, beauty and hairdressing, auto repair, plumbing and welding, excavator operation... They learned all the professions that Lanxiang House-elf could find.

On the fireplace mantel in the kitchen, there were three layers of books: "Fantastic Beasts in the Pot," "The Magic of Roasting Gluten," and "Conjuring a Tableful of Feasts"—all magic books.

William had never cooked with magic before; this was the first time.

Soon, Hermione, still half asleep, came running down from the second floor, wearing her pink pajamas and with her hair all messy.

He looked like he had just woken up.

William was used to this kind of behavior; the girl had stayed at William house for a while last summer.

Lyanna adores Hermione, dislikes Anne's mischievousness, and treats Hermione like a daughter.

Hermione's parents were both very busy, unlike Lyanna, who was a university professor and had summer vacations. Iris and her family were happy for their daughter to visit her best friend.

They came to stay at William's new house under the pretense of training... Well, they really did come to study, even though they had a lot of fun last night.

Hermione picked up Bobocha, forbidding it from eating, then rested her head on Bobocha's head, curled up on the sofa like a cat, and watched William cook with magic.

Bobocha felt so wronged; it had only taken one bite!

Hermione stared blankly at William.

She had seen her mother cook in the kitchen before, and she would just watch from the sidelines, unable to help much; now, she was still unable to help much.

Hermione couldn't understand how this boy, who was about her age, knew so much.

She has good grades, strong magical abilities, and can even... cook.

She never imagined that one day she would leave home and live with a boy in a remote place.

Actually, it feels good to be thousands of miles away and not know anyone.

Wait... does this count as cohabitation?

Okay, definitely not, considering there's always Anne in the way.

No, add a fat Bobocha as well.

Hermione kneaded the Bobocha and rearranged it in a different way.

The girl was lost in thought for a moment, then finally snapped out of it and eagerly suggested, "How about I cook tomorrow?"

"Can you?" William asked.

"Not really, I learned a few things from my mom at home for a few days," Hermione said, her face flushed. "And I've never cooked with magic before."

You are free to use magic here.

In wizarding families, the Ministry of Magic cannot detect children using magic, as it is entirely supervised by the parents. With a large number of wizards living in these families, the Ministry of Magic is even less able to monitor them.

That's why William moved here, to avoid receiving a warning letter from the Ministry of Magic.

William carefully placed the six fried eggs into three separate dishes before turning to say, "Go wash up. I'll teach you Transfiguration this morning, according to the pre-planned schedule."

By the way, wake Anne up.

Hermione nodded happily, then hesitated for a moment.

"Isn't Anne getting up?"

"Just add two thick blankets for her, and turn off the cooling system. Once the bed gets warm, she'll naturally get up."

Hermione looked at William with admiration; he was the one who had the solution.

William waved his wand, and the plate floated onto the table.

He's about to begin his happy cohabitation life!
