After entering the castle, Muya waved goodbye to the twins. She returned to the common room and told Shalian and the others about it.
"Wow, does that mean you're holding a party?" Hannah asked excitedly, her eyes sparkling.
"Cool, Mya Mu, I'll definitely go!" Susan hugged Mya Mu.
"Since it's your invitation, I'll read this book tonight instead." Shalian smiled and closed her book.
Muya caught sight of the cover: A Complete Guide to Cuisines Around the World. No wonder it looked so thick.
Next, she needed to find Cedric and the others. Muya decided to look for them at lunchtime.
Muya climbed back into her suitcase, thoroughly cleaned the house inside and out, and checked whether any of the food in the fridge had spoiled.
"What's going on? It doesn't seem like a single thing has gone bad, and there's even the same amount as when I first came here?" Did her house have magic too? Could it preserve food and replenish itself automatically?
Never mind. She would leave that sort of thing for Dumbledore to ponder.
She was going out to find Cedric and the others.
In the common room, she chatted away with Cedric and the others, explaining everything clearly.
"I'm honored to attend your party, Mya Mu." Cedric was as gentle as ever.
"Mm-hm, we'll bring some food from the kitchens. By the way, how many people will there be altogether?" Sean stirred the hot milk in front of him, the common room lights making his pale eyes shine brightly.
Vester nodded as well. "I'll go too. Thank you for inviting me." That means we're friends too, Vester thought.
"Let me count... including me, there'll be twelve." She had not expected to have made so many friends already.
"Then it looks like we'll need to bring more." Hopefully, the kitchens had enough ingredients.
"Alright, it's settled then!" Muya went to get her suitcase.
The group excitedly headed upstairs. They ran into Harry and his two friends along the way, so they went together.
When they reached the Seventh Floor, the twins were waiting for Muya in the corridor. At last, the large group appeared.
"Fred, George? Mya Mu invited you too?!" Ron's mouth fell open in surprise.
"Hey, little Ronnie!" The two of them went over and vigorously ruffled Ron's hair.
"Oh, they're so close." Muya sighed.
Harry: Mate, I can't save you.
After Fred and George finished ruffling Ron's hair, they paced back and forth through the corridor twice. A door appeared on the opposite wall, leaving everyone else stunned.
"Merlin, that door..."
"Wait, could that be the Room of Requirement?"
"The Room of Requirement?!"
"Um... how about we go in first?" Muya spoke weakly.
"Oh, of course."
"Come on, Little Badger, and her friends."
After entering the room, Muya discovered that it was different from the last time she had come. Hermione explained, "The book said that the Room of Requirement changes according to the needs of the people who want to enter."
"That's right, but perhaps we need a theme more suitable for a party now." Sean could not wait to try it.
The very next second, the entire room became even more comfortable and cozy.
Muya scratched her head. That did not seem to be the point of the Room of Requirement, but never mind. She placed her suitcase on the floor.
"You should prepare yourselves. In a moment, your eyes might just pop out." Muya wanted to give them a little scare, but... not one of them was afraid. Every single one looked at her excitedly.
Seriously, were they all this bold?
Never mind, she would just open it.
"Is there something inside that suitcase?" Cedric asked.
My house is in there. Before Muya could answer, the suitcase sucked her in first, and everyone else followed right after.
After swallowing everyone, the suitcase spun once on the spot, then became completely still.
"Merlin's beard!" Hermione exclaimed before she had even gotten up from the grass.
"A man-eating suitcase."
"This is absolutely brilliant!" Fred and George high-fived.
"Oh, Merlin, Harry, I think you're standing on my foot." Ron realized he could not get up, only to see a leg pinning down his own.
"Sorry, Ron." Harry hurriedly stood up. "Wow, it's a huge lawn."
"Mm... this really is quite the experience." Cedric remained seated as he looked around.
"A very skillful Undetectable Extension Charm." Vester brushed some grass off himself.
Shalian helped Hannah up, while Muya helped Susan. "Oh, this place really does look nice."
"Everyone, welcome to my home!" Muya said, pointing at the house behind them.
"Hey, Little Badger actually lives in a suitcase."
"What an interesting idea!"
"Alright, alright, Mr. Twins." Under everyone's gaze, Muya walked to the door and opened it. "Come in quickly."
Since the doorway could only fit two people at a time, everyone had to queue to enter. Once inside, aside from Harry and Hermione, everyone looked around like curious children, examining this and that.
Muya was delighted. She loved how curious they looked.
Muya had them sit on the sofa and wait, then took several bottles of drinks from the fridge and placed them on the table.
"Mya Mu, what is this?" Hannah could not help asking.
"Um..." Muya thought that she needed a good name. "Happy Fizzy Water?"
"I also need to get some cups for everyone." She could not exactly have them all take turns drinking from the bottles.
"I'll help you, Mya Mu." Cedric placed the food they had brought on the table and walked over to Muya.
"We'll help too!" Hannah, Susan, and Shalian said.
The next second, everyone stood up, ready to help. Muya was flattered and assigned each person a task.
Getting cups, washing vegetables, cutting meat, washing pots...
"Mya Mu, leave this sharp thing to me." Vester took the knife Muya had been about to pick up.
"Oh, Ron, that leaf is edible. Don't throw it away!" Hermione's voice came from beside the sink.
"Mya Mu, which one should we use?" Fred and George each held up a pot and asked Muya.
"The one George is holding," Muya said.
It was Muya's first time seeing such a lively kitchen. Before this, she had always been the only one in it.
"Mya Mu, we've arranged the snacks!" Hannah and Susan said.
"We've poured drinks for everyone too."
No one there used magic for any task, because Muya said that the process of doing something could be a kind of happiness too. So, everyone reached a strange unspoken agreement to try not using magic.
Muya taught them how to use chopsticks and how to cook hot pot.
They chatted with Muya about interesting things in the wizarding world. Fred and George loved the Happy Fizzy Water on the table and said they wanted to know how it was made.
Muya simply had them look at the ingredients list on the bottle. She could not understand any of it herself.
After finishing the hot pot, they finally used magic to clean up the room. Muya took them to visit every room. When they reached her bedroom, the boys stayed at the door while the girls went inside.
The party ended before dinner. Everyone headed to the Great Hall looking as though they still wanted more.
