A Thrilling Halloween Eve

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

Muya, sitting up in bed: Why hasn't this world been destroyed yet? There's still homework! And Snape told me last night to submit the paper on boil-curing potions this month, and Dumbledore also assigned me English homework.

Ahhhhhh!

"Mmm... Shalian, please, help me out," Muya pleaded, hugging Shalian's arm.

Seeing her like this, Shalian agreed.

The rest of the time was spent in class, then tutoring, then homework.

Even during flying lessons, Muya wasn't happy, and she didn't fly well. She didn't know if the broom disliked her; as soon as she sat on it, it started swaying left and right, and she was thrown off.

Fortunately, she wasn't seriously injured, but she still had to be bandaged up. She now had a bandage wrapped around her head.

Hannah mentioned that tomorrow was Halloween, and Muya had a sudden idea: this bandage, a white dress, and some fake blood would make a perfect Halloween costume!

Muya needed to find a place to spray the fake blood. She went to a restroom upstairs. As soon as she entered, she heard a mournful cry.

"Waaaah~"

Muya's hair stood on end. No way! It's still daytime, could there be a ghost here?!

Muya didn't dare to go further, but the crying inside stopped. "Who's out there?"

It's over, I've been discovered. If they don't move, I won't.

"Hmm? Is no one there?" A translucent girl phased through the wall and bumped right into Muya, who was squatting in the corner.

Muya: ...

Moaning Myrtle: ...

It's a ghost. Muya had seen her on the day the houses were assigned, along with many others.

"Oh, it's a little wizard. Are you here to bully Moaning Myrtle too?" Moaning Myrtle approached Muya, trying to scare away the seemingly dazed little wizard in front of her.

"Um... hello? Excuse me, is this restroom yours?" Muya carefully asked, holding her skirt. It's not good to enter someone's domain without permission.

"Oh, yes, wait, did you just say 'excuse me'?" Before Muya could reply, Moaning Myrtle continued, "Oh, after all these years, no one has ever asked for my opinion, a ghost's opinion. They always just come in, startle me, curse at me, and throw things at me!" Moaning Myrtle slumped to the ground and started crying again.

"I'm sorry, maybe they didn't know someone... uh, a ghost was inside. Of course, they shouldn't have cursed at you or thrown things at you either," Muya said, trying to comfort her.

"My name is Muya. Perhaps I can be your friend," Muya said with a smile to Moaning Myrtle.

Moaning Myrtle stopped crying and looked at Muya. "Merlin, no one has ever wanted to be friends with Moaning Myrtle. I agree! Of course, you can come inside with me." Moaning Myrtle jumped up and down happily, then gestured for Muya to enter.

"Thank you, Moaning Myrtle!" Muya pushed the door open and entered the restroom with Moaning Myrtle. Then, under Moaning Myrtle's curious gaze, she sprayed fake blood onto her skirt.

"Oh, Muya, is it almost Halloween? How nostalgic," Moaning Myrtle said, floating beside Muya.

Muya nodded, preparing to wash off the fake blood splashed on her hands. "Hmm? Moaning Myrtle, I can't turn this faucet." It also seemed to be making a "hissing" sound.

Moaning Myrtle shrugged it off. "Oh, that faucet has been broken for a long time. Use this one."

Muya walked over, washed her hands, and took the opportunity to clean the restroom as well, since she and Moaning Myrtle were friends now.

"Haven't they taught you the cleaning spell yet?" Moaning Myrtle couldn't help but ask as she watched Muya mop the floor.

"Yes, but my friend Hermione knows it. I haven't learned it yet," Muya replied to Moaning Myrtle's question while mopping.

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

Muya quickly learned Scourgify. After helping to finish cleaning the restroom, she said goodbye to Moaning Myrtle and left to return her skirt to the common room.

It was almost time for dinner, so Muya decided to go to the Great Hall to find Shalian and the others. She sat down in a seat next to Hannah when suddenly the main doors burst open, and Professor Quirrell rushed in. His turban was askew, and his face was full of terror.

Muya watched him walk to Dumbledore, leaning on a chair with one hand, panting, "A troll... in the dungeons... I thought you should know." He then fainted on the floor.

A troll! Muya stood up in shock. The Great Hall descended into chaos. Dumbledore set off a few fireworks to quiet everyone down.

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

"Hufflepuff students, follow me!"

"Gryffindors, stay with me, don't get separated!"

Students from the two houses began to crowd together. Muya looked at Quirrell, who was still lying motionless on the floor, and ran to Dumbledore. "Headmaster, I'd like to take Professor Quirrell back to his office."

"No!" It wasn't Dumbledore who spoke, but Snape. He frowned, looking at Quirrell on the floor.

"Professor Snape, wouldn't it be inappropriate to leave Professor Quirrell here?" Muya naturally noticed Snape's expression and assumed he was disgusted by the thought of dealing with the ugly troll.

"Oh, child, since that's the case, then you may go. Be careful. I will take the professors to clear out the troll," Dumbledore said.

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

No, what are they doing there? Ugh, why does it smell so bad here? Muya decided to see what Harry and the others were up to.

"My m... Merlin!" Someone please tell her, how could this troll be even uglier than she imagined? And it was emitting a foul odor.

"Scourgify!" Well, it didn't work, but the commotion was enough to alert Hermione, who was trapped in a fire.

"Muya? What are you doing here too?" Hermione's face was still streaked with tears, and she looked at Muya, who had suddenly appeared, with shock.

"Oh, Muya, so you didn't go back to the common room either," Ron said, narrowly dodging a club from the troll.

Muya flashed the troll's eyes with Lumos. It loosened its grip on the club, and Harry took the opportunity to shove his wand up the troll's nostril.

Muya: ...Seriously, there was no need for all this! Harry!

The troll shook its body, trying to throw Harry off its back. Just then, Ron made a shining entrance, using the Levitation Charm to make the troll's club float up and hit the troll squarely on the head.

"Bang!" The troll fell to the ground. Harry pulled his wand out of the troll's nose and walked, looking glum, towards Muya and the others.

"Scourgify!" Muya cleaned her wand.

"Thanks, Muya!" Harry's glum expression was gone.

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