It's the weekend, but Muya was too tired last night to play games. She decided to invite her friends over to her place this afternoon.
Now, she had an important task to attend to: farming!
After breakfast, Muya went to find Hagrid. "Hagrid, are you home?"
The door opened the next second, but it wasn't Hagrid. It was Harry. "Good morning, Muya. Come on in."
"Good morning, Harry." Muya nodded and walked in, finding Ron and Hermione there.
"Hi everyone, what are you all doing here?" Muya asked, puzzled. Was it a team-building event this early in the morning?
"Hahaha, Harry and I wrote to you to ask for help moving some pumpkins." Hagrid brought over several cups of hot milk.
"That's right, we're here to help." In reality, Hermione knew Muya was coming to see Hagrid today, so she came with Harry and the others.
Harry nodded. "Since it's the holiday, we don't have much to do."
"Oh yeah, it gets a bit boring in the dorms..." Ron took a big gulp of milk and accidentally choked.
"Be careful, Ron." Muya handed him some tissues from her bag.
"...Thanks."
"Oh, Harry, I almost forgot. Congratulations on becoming the Seeker for Quidditch." Yesterday, after Dumbledore's explanation, she finally understood what Quidditch was.
Harry reacted, sheepishly touching his fluffy black hair. "Thanks."
Muya finished her milk and turned to Hagrid. "Oh, Hagrid, can I plant some crops around here?"
Hagrid nodded. "Of course, you can. I'll go find my smallest farming tools, but I might not be able to help you today."
"No worries, I can do it myself."
While Hagrid went to find the tools, Harry and the others crowded around. "Muya, why do you want to farm?"
"You wouldn't understand. We Chinese have a natural inclination to plant things." She wondered if the soil in the wizarding world was fertile.
"By the way, do you guys have time this afternoon? I'd like to invite you all to hang out."
"Oh, of course, we have time." Hermione was happy to spend time with Muya.
Harry and Ron also nodded, indicating they would be there.
"Then let's meet on the eighth floor." The room from last night seemed like a good choice—hidden and unlikely to be discovered by others.
After saying goodbye to the four, Muya picked up the tools Hagrid gave her, intending to find a good spot first. She couldn't just start planting in front of Hagrid's house.
"Hey, little badger, what are you planning to do with that?" Fred emerged from the forest, with George right behind him. "We can help."
Leaves clung to their dazzling hair, and they smiled at Muya, completely unaware.
"Fred and George, can you crouch down? You have a lot of leaves in your hair." Muya set the tools aside.
The twins blinked. They weren't wearing their usual black robes today, looking youthful and even more handsome.
They crouched down, letting Muya fuss with their hair. "Did you go into the forest? Was it fun? Can you take me sometime?"
"Sure! We older brothers will protect you." Fred excitedly started to stand up, but Muya accidentally pulled his hair. "Ouch!"
"Sorry, Fred, don't move for a moment."
"But there's a rule in the school regulations against entering the Forbidden Forest without permission, little badger. Do you want to break the rules with us?" George remained crouched obediently, a brilliant smile on his lips.
"Oh, so we're not allowed in? Then we can sneak in, as long as we don't get caught!" No wonder it was called the Forbidden Forest. But what exactly was inside? Could one go wild camping there?
"Alright, you can get up now." Muya patted their fluffy heads with both hands.
"So..."
"Do you need our help?"
Muya thought about it. Doing it alone would indeed be tiring, so she agreed. "Okay, but I'll pay you for your help."
Muya took out the currency she'd exchanged when buying her wand and offered two shiny gold coins. "How about these?"
Seeing the two Galleons in Muya's hand, Fred and George were stunned. "No, little badger, we can't take your money!"
"And you're giving us too much, we can't accept it!"
"Then... then consider it material costs from me as a member of the prank squad. Please accept them, okay?" Muya didn't have the habit of taking back what she'd given. She pouted playfully.
"Alright, then we'll hold onto them for you for now." Fred accepted the two precious Galleons.
"Muya, you shouldn't take out so much money in the future. If you meet bad people, you'll lose it all," George said, picking up the hoe Muya had placed on the ground earlier.
"Okay, can we start now?"
Muya nodded and told them her plan to cultivate a piece of land here. Their eyes lit up, finding Muya's idea very interesting, and the three of them got to work.
Fred was responsible for pulling weeds, George for hoeing, and Muya for sowing seeds. Fred and George took turns, believing that Muya, as a young witch, didn't have much strength. Muya let them have their way, as she was indeed quite small at the moment.
After a while, the land was finally cultivated and sown. The three sat on the ground, laughing with their backs against each other.
"Mr. Twins, I'd like to invite you to my place this afternoon," Muya said.
Fred and George looked puzzled. "Are we leaving the castle this afternoon?"
"That would be even cooler than a castle night tour."
Muya patted her head. "Actually... we can still go even if we don't leave the castle. You guys can wait for me on the eighth floor this afternoon."
"Are we going to the Room of Requirement?" the two asked.
"Yes. I just spoke with Hermione, Harry, and Ron, and they agreed to my invitation. I also wanted to ask some of my friends in Hufflepuff if they want to come. The more people, the merrier." A party is better with more people, and she was thinking of making hot pot for dinner. She hadn't had it in a long time.
"Is Ron going too?" The three of them had already gotten up and were walking towards Hagrid's house, needing to return the hoes first.
"Oh, yes," Muya finally realized. The three of them seemed to have red hair and all had the last name Weasley. "Is he your brother?"
"Yes."
"That's right."
"Muya, besides those three you met before, do you have any other good friends in Hufflepuff?" Fred placed the hoe in a conspicuous spot by the door and asked Muya casually.
"Yes, I have Cedric, Sean, and Vester," Muya answered honestly.
Excellent. So far, she hasn't made any friends in Slytherin or Ravenclaw.
The twins breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness Muya hasn't made any Slytherin friends.
