He silently thought to himself, 'I want a room for brewing potions.'

After walking back and forth three times, I opened the door.

"It is indeed here."

As Zicomo expected, Hermione was brewing potions right here.

After all, apart from his 'Zen Garden', this place is the only one with the best seclusion.

The little witch was sulking and refused to ask him for help, so this was the only safe place left for her to brew the potion.

"Huh? What is this?"

Zicomo noticed that next to the 'Polyhydral Solution' there were several potions being brewed.

He picked up the potion notebook beside him and roughly understood the effects of the potions that were being concocted.

One is a special hallucinogen modified from 'euphoria,' which generally makes everything the user sees seem beautiful.

The other is an unfinished 'sex-changing drug' that allows the user to change their gender within a certain period of time.

Looking at the thick potions notebook in his hand, Zicomo felt that Hermione wouldn't want to make these potions for no reason, and she wouldn't spend so much time and energy researching them.

After all, she was more interested in Transfiguration than Potions class.

He seemed to already know what these potions were for.

Zicomo thought for a moment, picked up a pen, and made corrections in his notes, helping Hermione improve the two recipes.

The next day, Hermione arrived at the Room of Requirement and was shocked to find that her potions notebook had been touched.

Then she picked up the notebook and saw the familiar handwriting.

It was her cousin's handwriting, and Hermione felt a warm glow in her heart.

Unexpectedly, her cousin still cared about her quite a bit. On the surface, he said he wouldn't get involved in her plans, but in reality, he was secretly keeping an eye on them.

Furthermore, they helped her refine her idea.

After her initial joy, Hermione threw herself into making the potion.

…………

On Halloween, Harry and Ron received a special invitation early in the morning.

It was an invitation from Nick, who was almost headless, to the two of them tonight's ghost dinner.

The two found it very interesting and decided to go and see it tonight.

During breakfast, Hermione secretly added a hallucinogen to their milk when they weren't looking.

For the rest of the day, Harry and Ron felt that the world was so wonderful, and everyone they saw was smiling warmly at them. Even Draco, who was usually so hateful, seemed much more pleasing to the eye.

In class, the teachers didn't know why the two little wizards kept giggling, but since it didn't interfere with their lessons, they didn't pay much attention.

Snape noticed that they seemed to have drunk something like a 'euphoric drug', but Zicomo gave him a wink, and he didn't pay any more attention to the matter.

During the dinner, the young wizards were enjoying their meal in the main hall, but Harry and Ron were missing from the Gryffindor table.

"Where are Harry and Ron?" Zicomo asked curiously.

“They’re at another dinner party,” Hermione replied.

Upon hearing Hermione's words, Zicomo knew where the two were; no wonder Hermione had given them a hallucinogen.

The two went to the ghosts' Halloween party dinner.

Last semester, Hermione also received an invitation from Nick Wilde, who was almost headless, but Zicomo stopped her from going to the party.

He knew without even thinking that a ghost's diet would be different from a human's.

What can Hermione eat if she goes there?

"So, they're eating the ghosts' food now?" Zicomo asked with interest.

"Hmm, want to go check it out? I've prepared something even more exciting." Hermione raised an eyebrow.

Upon hearing this, Zicomo remembered Hermione's other potion that she hadn't used yet, and decided to quickly finish his dinner before going to see some fun.

After quickly finishing their meal, the two left the hall.

Seeing the two hurrying away, Snape, who was in the teachers' seat, thought for a moment and followed them.

The ghosts' dinner party was held in an abandoned classroom.

The place has been transformed into a restaurant, but it's gloomy everywhere.

But Harry and Ron didn't see it that way.

In their eyes, the room was not worthy of being lavish and the dining table was laden with delicious food.

They felt this was even more lavish than the dinners hosted at Hogwarts.

The two ate heartily at the ghost's invitation.

When Zicomo and Hermione arrived at the door, they saw Harry and Ron happily devouring a large chicken leg.

However, this chicken leg is grayish-white.

Nearby, Nick, who was almost headless, and the fat monk were discussing the two of them. It was the first time they had ever seen a little wizard so happy eating the ghosts' food.

"I didn't expect these two little wizards to enjoy their meal so much~"

“Indeed, it’s not that we haven’t had young wizards come to our dinners before, but they all said they didn’t appreciate our food.”

"So, is there anything special about these foods?"

The last sentence was spoken by Zicomo, who was curious about the differences between the food of ghosts and that of humans.

"Oh, hello, little wizard. Are you here for our dinner party too?"

Nick was startled by Zicomo's sudden outburst; he was so frightened he almost dropped his head.

“No, we just came to see our companions.” Zicomo shook his head, then asked the same question again.

"Our ghost food is made with special ingredients. According to the young wizards who have attended the banquet before, it tastes like chewing candles. And I heard that they had stomach problems all day the next day."

The fat monk provided the answer from the side.

“I see.” Zicomo and Hermione exchanged a gloating smile.

"No wonder those two were grinning like idiots today, and I didn't see them at the banquet either."

Snape's voice rang out behind Hermione, startling her.

"Professor Snape!"

Hermione lowered her head nervously, looking like a child caught red-handed being naughty.

Zicomo was not surprised at all; he had already noticed Snape following behind them.

"How about it? Hermione's hallucinogen, made from the 'Enjoyment Agent,' has had its effects, and these two now feel that the whole world is so wonderful."

Snape nodded. "That's true, but actually, 'Happiness Potion' can achieve most of the effect. This prank isn't as novel as the Weasley twins'."

Snape's assessment was neutral.

Zicomo raised an eyebrow at him: "Don't rush, the big one is yet to come!"

He turned his head to signal Hermione that she could bring out her trump card. Snape happened to be there. I wonder what he would think if he saw what was about to happen.

Hermione received Zicomo's signal, took out two bottles of 'gender-changing potion', controlled them with the Levitation Charm, and secretly poured them into Harry and Mehren's cups from behind.

Just then, the two of them felt thirsty, so they raised their cups and drank them down in one gulp.

Soon their figures changed.

Their bodies became slimmer, their features softer, and their hair began to grow longer.

A moment later, a female version of Harry and a female version of Ron appeared before Snape.

Snape ignored Ron's image; he now only had Harry in his eyes.

He stared intently at Harry, murmuring, "Lily!"

If Harry's male appearance resembles James, then the female version looks exactly like her mother when she was a child.

Because the male version also had eyes like Lily's.

And now, in Snape's eyes, he is Lily reincarnated.

“Ahem, Professor Snape, I must remind you that you are now a married man. Please do not show strange feelings for a girl who is about thirteen years old.”

Zicomo emphasized the word "little girl" so much that Hermione almost burst out laughing.

Snape yelled at Zicomo, "Go back to your quarters and get some sleep after the dinner party! Don't wander around the castle! Or I'll deduct your Gryffindor points!"

Seeing Snape's anger and embarrassment, Zicomo quickly took Hermione and left.

Anyway, I've already had my fill of fun for today.

Snape was left standing there, staring at Harry for a long time before finally leaving reluctantly.

Meanwhile, Harry and Ron were enjoying their meal and had no idea what was happening.

The next morning, two girls screamed from the boys' dormitory in Gryffindor.

"Harry! I think I've turned into a girl!"
