Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

The Great Hall of Hogwarts is spacious and bright, with magnificent crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, each light reflecting a dazzling brilliance.

The long table was laden with delicious and tempting food, making one's mouth water at first glance.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione casually found a table and sat down to enjoy their sumptuous dinner.

It was quite late, and there were many empty tables in the auditorium, laden with various delicacies, including golden roasted turkey, fragrant fried shrimp, cream of mushroom soup, and roasted vegetable salad.

They only need to point their knives and forks at the food, and the food will fly over to them on its own.

This is also one of the magic spells that Tyrell reformed at Hogwarts: the magic of automatically serving meals.

“Seriously, Hermione, New Tennam Village is absolutely fantastic!” Ron exclaimed excitedly.

While enjoying their meal, Ron and Harry chatted about their experiences during their trip to New Tenham and New Hogsmeade.

“You really missed out!” Ron continued, “The new Hogsmeade is completely different from the original Hogsmeade! The new Hogsmeade has a completely new main road, can you believe it? It’s paved with marble! It’s paved with marble!”

"The whole village feels different now, more square and orderly. Yeah, Harry told me that's called...that's called..."

“Modernization,” Harry reminded him.

“Oh, right, right, modern!” Ron said.

“And the shops there, they even have a lot of Muggle shops!” Ron continued, “They have that kind of… electricity.”

“An electronics store,” Harry added. “Yes, an electronics store, full of those things that move on their own without needing to wave a wand or use magic,” Ron said.

"A Muggle shop? You mean they opened a Muggle shop in Hogsmeade?" Hermione asked, showing interest.

“Yes!” Ron nodded excitedly. “Oh right, they also opened a coffee shop with all kinds of delicious coffee and desserts, and a huge screen showing Muggle culture programs. I saw a lot of things we’d never seen before!”

In the warm atmosphere, their mood gradually relaxed and became more cheerful. Harry and Ron occasionally cracked jokes, making Hermione giggle non-stop. She felt relaxed both physically and mentally, and her mind became clearer.

Before they knew it, dinner was over, and they sat back down contentedly. Hermes looked at Harry and Ron with gratitude in his heart.

"Thank you for having dinner with me. It helped me forget the pressure of research and the worries of thinking," Hermione said sincerely. "I felt really warm with your company."

Harry smiled and patted Hermione's hand. "We're family, it's only right that we support each other. Hermione, we all believe in your abilities, but we also hope you can find a balance and take good care of yourself."

Ron chimed in, "That's right! Besides, the restaurant also has desserts; we should try them and see if there are any delicious ones."

“That’s great. I’m so happy to see that you all like Muggle stuff,” Hermione said.

Hermione's words were somewhat perfunctory, and then she reached out and squeezed the seamless extension bag hanging at her waist.

For some reason, Hermione couldn't forget the moment she saw the Philosopher's Stone in Tyella's office—

Its light was so dazzling, it seemed like the light of an entire universe.
