A Thrilling Halloween Eve

The next morning, Muya was woken up by Shalian to do her homework.

Sitting up in bed, Mya Mu thought, Why hasn't this world been destroyed yet? There's actually homework! And Snape had told her last night to hand in her boils potion essay before the end of the month, while Dumbledore had assigned her English homework too.

Aaaaaah!

"Um... Shalian, please, help me." Muya clung to Shalian's arm and pleaded sweetly.

Seeing her like this, Shalian agreed.

The rest of the time was spent attending class, making up lessons, and doing homework.

Even during Flying class, Muya was unhappy. She was not very good at flying either. She did not know whether that broom disliked her, but the moment she sat on it, it began swaying from side to side and threw her straight off.

Fortunately, she was not hurt anywhere, though she was still bandaged up. She now had a bandage wrapped around her head.

Hearing Hannah say that tomorrow was Halloween, Muya had a sudden idea. With this bandage, a white dress, and fake blood, she would have the perfect Halloween costume!

She needed to find somewhere to spray on the fake blood, so Muya went to a bathroom upstairs. The moment she entered, she heard a miserable sob.

"Boohoo~~"

Muya's hair stood on end. No way! It's still daytime. Is this place really haunted?!

Muya did not dare go inside, but the crying stopped. "Who's outside?"

Oh no, she had been discovered. If the enemy did not move, neither would she.

"Hm? No one?" A transparent girl passed through the wall and ran straight into Muya, who was crouching in the corner.

Muya: ...

Moaning Myrtle: ...

So she was a ghost. Muya had seen ghosts on the day the students were sorted into houses, and she had seen quite a few of them.

"Oh, it's just a little wizard. Are you here to bully Moaning Myrtle too?" Moaning Myrtle moved closer to Muya, trying to scare away the dazed-looking little wizard before her.

"Um... hello? May I ask if this bathroom is yours?" Muya asked cautiously, clutching her dress. Casually entering someone else's territory was rude.

"Oh yes. Wait, did you just say 'may I ask'?" Before Muya could answer, Moaning Myrtle continued, "Oh, in all these years, no one has ever asked for my opinion. A ghost's opinion. They always barge in and scare me, then curse at me and throw things at me!" Moaning Myrtle slumped onto the floor and began crying again.

"Sorry, maybe they didn't know someone... um, a ghost was inside. Of course, they still shouldn't have cursed at you or thrown things at you." Muya tried her best to comfort her.

"My name is Mya Mu. Maybe I can be your friend." Muya smiled at Moaning Myrtle.

Moaning Myrtle stopped crying and stared at Muya. "Merlin, no one has ever wanted to be Moaning Myrtle's friend. I accept! Of course, you can come inside now." Moaning Myrtle happily bounced up and down, then made a welcoming gesture toward Muya.

"Thank you, Moaning Myrtle!" Muya pushed open the door and entered the bathroom with Moaning Myrtle. Under Moaning Myrtle's curious gaze, she sprayed fake blood onto her dress.

"Oh, Mya Mu, is Halloween coming? How nostalgic," Moaning Myrtle said as she floated beside Muya.

Muya nodded and prepared to wash the blood splattered on her hands. "Hm? Moaning Myrtle, this faucet won't turn." It also seemed to be making a hissing sound.

Moaning Myrtle did not care. "Oh, that faucet has been broken for ages. Use this one."

Muya walked over, washed her hands clean, and tidied up the bathroom as well. After all, she and Moaning Myrtle were friends now.

"Have they not taught you the Cleaning Charm yet?" Moaning Myrtle could not help asking as she watched Muya mop the floor.

"No, but my friend Hermione knows it. I haven't learned it yet," Muya answered as she mopped.

"Oh, I can teach you." Moaning Myrtle put her hands on her hips proudly.

Muya quickly learned Scourgify. After helping clean the bathroom, she bid Moaning Myrtle goodbye and returned to the common room to put away her dress.

It was almost time for dinner, so Muya decided to go to the Great Hall to find Shalian and the others. Just as she sat down beside Hannah, the doors suddenly flew open, and Professor Quirrell rushed in. His large turban was crooked, and his face was filled with terror.

Muya watched him walk up to Dumbledore, brace himself against a chair with one hand, and gasp for breath. "Troll... in the dungeons... thought you ought to know." After saying that, he fainted onto the floor.

A Troll! Muya jumped to her feet in shock, and the Great Hall descended into chaos. Dumbledore set off several fireworks to signal everyone to be quiet.

"Prefects, lead the students back to their common rooms!"

"Hufflepuff students, follow me!"

"Gryffindor, come with me. Don't get separated!"

Students from the two houses had already begun crowding together. Muya looked at Quirrell, who was still lying motionless on the ground, then ran to Dumbledore. "Headmaster, I want to take Professor Quirrell back to his office too."

"No!" The one who spoke was not Dumbledore, but Snape. He frowned tightly at Quirrell on the floor.

"Professor Snape, wouldn't it be inappropriate to leave Professor Quirrell here?" Muya had naturally noticed Snape's expression. She assumed he was disgusted at having to deal with such an ugly Troll.

"Oh, child, if that is the case, then go. Be careful. I'll take the professors to deal with the Troll," Dumbledore said.

After using the Levitation Charm to send Professor Quirrell back to his office, Muya prepared to return to the common room and hide. Then, in a moment of distraction, she saw Harry and Ron running toward the girls' bathroom.

Wait, what were they going there for? Ugh, why did it smell so bad here? Muya decided to go see what Harry and the others were planning.

"My... Merlin!" Could someone tell her why this Troll was even uglier than she had imagined? It even reeked.

"Scourgify!" Well, it did not work, but the disturbance caught the attention of Hermione and the other two, who were trapped in the chaos.

"Mya Mu? Why are you here too?" Tear streaks still marked Hermione's face as she stared at the suddenly appearing Muya in shock.

"Oh, Mya Mu, so you didn't go back to the common room either," Ron said, narrowly dodging a swing from the Troll's club.

Muya used Lumos to flash the Troll in the eyes. It dropped its club, and Harry seized the chance to shove his wand into the Troll's nostril.

Muya: ...Seriously, Harry, there was absolutely no need to do that!

The Troll shook its body, trying to throw Harry off its back. Then Ron made his grand entrance, using the Levitation Charm to make the Troll's club float up and strike it squarely on the head.

Boom! The Troll fell to the floor. Harry pulled the wand out of its nostril and walked over to Muya and the others with a miserable expression.

"Scourgify!" Muya cleaned the wand.

"Thank you, Mya Mu!" Harry no longer looked so miserable.

"You! What have you done?!" A voice came from behind them.
