A tense and exciting Potions class was finally coming to an end. "Miss Muya, detention for another day."

Mya Mu realized she had forgotten to serve detention yesterday – in reality, she had been helping process materials. She accepted her fate, thinking it was fine.

During lunch, Hannah and Susan told Mya Mu about what happened yesterday morning.

"Gryffindor's Longbottom had a Remembrall. Yesterday morning, his Remembrall turned red, and then Malfoy from Slytherin suddenly snatched it away," Hannah said, mimicking Malfoy snatching the Remembrall as she grabbed a piece of egg tart.

Susan continued, "That's right, but because Professor McGonagall happened to see it, Malfoy didn't get to take the Remembrall." She drank the porridge in front of her, spoonful after spoonful.

"What's the point of that Remembrall?"

"It's to remind oneself of anything forgotten. If something is forgotten, it turns red," Shalian chimed in from the side. "This cake is good."

"I want some too, Shalian." For Mya Mu, delicious food was always more important.

"Ah! I heard Harry Potter has also become the new Seeker for the Gryffindor Quidditch team."

"Huh?" What's Quidditch? Why does Susan seem so excited?

"Speaking of which, our flying lesson is next week."

"Flying lesson?" Mya Mu didn't ask aloud because she was enjoying the cake Shalian had just praised.

"Dumbledore, regarding Ya Mu's English tutoring, it should have already begun, right?" Severus's eyes flickered towards Mya Mu, who was happily eating, as he spoke to Dumbledore.

"Oh, of course, it will start today," Dumbledore said after eating an egg tart. "Don't worry, Severus. That child has a good learning ability. Minerva even said she has a talent for Transfiguration!" Dumbledore grinned as he looked at Mya Mu.

"Hmph, I hope so."

That evening, Mya Mu thought about having to go to the Headmaster's office first for English tutoring with Dumbledore, and then to Snape's office for detention. Wuwuwu.

"Hurry over here, child. I'm going to start teaching you about Hogwarts' school history. What do you think?" Oh, Hermione's prediction was quite accurate.

Dumbledore spoke from the four founders to the past Headmasters and outstanding graduates...

Mya Mu raised her hand. "Who was the wizard who resolved the Goblin Wars?" she asked Dumbledore, pointing to a sentence in the book.

Dumbledore paused for a moment upon hearing her question before slowly replying, "It was a hero..."

"Actually, I'm not that curious, haha." Mya Mu scratched her head and continued reading, casually stuffing a handful of candies into her bag.

"Knock, knock." Mya Mu knocked on the door. "Professor Snape, I'm here."

"Come in."

Mya Mu pushed the door open and found two people inside. "Sorry, Professor Snape, I didn't know you had other people serving detention today. Can I leave first?" Please agree, please agree!

"No need. You two will process the materials together." Today, Snape wasn't grading homework; he was brewing a potion.

"Hello, Neville," Mya Mu greeted him proactively.

"H-hello, Ya Mu," Neville replied shyly.

Seeing the two large baskets of slugs, Mya Mu frowned. Did Professor Snape deliberately buy so many slugs?

"Ya Mu, I'll handle these two baskets. You can process the materials over there," Neville said, noticing Mya Mu's expression.

"No, no." Mya Mu quickly shook her head. Although they looked disgusting, they felt even more disgusting to the touch!

But she couldn't just leave all of this to Neville.

"Let's do it together." With that, they began.

After Mya Mu and Neville left, Snape was just bottling the finished potion. He casually glanced at the materials they had processed.

"I need to find a way to increase detention time and pay Old Bee a visit." Having made up his mind, Snape left his office and went to the Headmaster's office.

"Here, Neville." It was a piece of candy. Mya Mu thought about how she had given a piece to each of her friends, and Neville shouldn't be left out.

"Thank you, Ya Mu," Neville said, blushing.

"Hey, little badger."

"What are you doing?"

Fred and George popped out from somewhere again. Mya Mu was probably used to their sudden appearances, as she wasn't startled this time. Neville, however, nearly jumped out of his skin.

"Good evening, Mr. Twins. Neville and I just finished our detention."

"Ya Mu, goodbye." Neville took the opportunity to say goodbye to Mya Mu while he still remembered the password to the common room.

"Goodbye, Neville." Mya Mu pushed away the two faces leaning in beside her.

"Do you have any new pranks you've developed?"

"Oh, let me see, where are the little wizards wandering at night?" a voice that didn't belong to the three of them emerged from below the stairs.

"What bad luck, it's Peeves," George grumbled quietly.

"Come with your brothers." Fred, perhaps worried Mya Mu wouldn't walk fast enough, simply picked her up. George frowned slightly.

The three of them arrived on the eighth floor. George walked back and forth in front of a hanging painting, and suddenly the wall opened up, revealing a door.

Mya Mu silently mouthed "cool." The school actually had secret passages; it was a great place for adventures!

"Phew, this is our secret base, the Room of Requirement," Fred said as he put Mya Mu down.

"Thank you, Fred!"

"We usually... What? How did you recognize us?" George crouched down, looking Mya Mu in the eye excitedly, as did Fred, who had just put her down.

"Uh... because Fred doesn't have a mole on his nose, and George is a bit shorter," Mya Mu said seriously. It was a "spot the difference" game, and she knew how to play.

"Oh, see, brother? Even the little badger thinks I'm taller," Fred patted George's shoulder.

"Mya Mu, take a closer look and tell us what else is different," George rolled his eyes at Fred and then looked pleadingly at Mya Mu.

"Hmm, Fred has more freckles, and George looks a bit gentler."

Being stared at like that, Fred and George felt their faces getting hot. "Well, uh, maybe we should show you what we've prepared for Halloween."

"Yes, that's right. I think the scene that day will be absolutely crazy," Fred chimed in.

After seeing what the twins had prepared, Mya Mu rubbed her eyes as they escorted her back to the common room. "Goodbye, George. Goodbye, Fred."

"Goodbye, Mya Mu!"

"Sweet dreams."

After tonight, Mya Mu began to look forward to her first Halloween. After all, she had never experienced this foreign festival before.

Perhaps she should start preparing a costume to scare people with on Halloween. As for candy, her cheap guardian seemed to have plenty.
