Muya felt full. She poked the empty plate with her wand and found that it no longer automatically produced food.

The empty plate and the other plates of food all suddenly vanished.

Headmaster Dumbledore stood up again, and the whole hall instantly fell silent. "Oh, now that everyone has eaten and drunk their fill, I have a few more words to say to you. At the start of term, I would like to give everyone a few notices."

"First years, take note: the forested area on the school grounds is forbidden to all students. Our older students should also keep this in mind."

"Furthermore, Mr. Filch, the caretaker, has also asked me to remind you that magic is not to be used in the corridors between classes."

"Quidditch player trials will be held in the second week of this term. Anyone interested in joining their house team should contact Madam Hooch."

"Lastly, I must tell you that anyone unwilling to meet with an accident, suffer agony, and die a miserable death should not enter the corridor on the right-hand side of the fourth floor."

After listening, Muya's gaze had gone blank. Why had this Old Mischief-Maker said so much? She did not understand, seumnida.

She had only caught something about "school, forested area, enter, cast magic in corridors, hold, join, fourth floor."

Muya turned to look at Cedric. "Does Headmaster Dumbledore always talk this much?"

Cedric nodded, but Muya clutched her head. She decided to cram English. She would start tomorrow.

"Now, before everyone goes to bed, let us stand and sing the school song!" Dumbledore said loudly.

Muya saw that all the professors looked troubled.

Dumbledore flicked his wand lightly, and a long golden ribbon floated out of it, twisting and coiling high above the dining tables like a snake to form line after line of words. These were probably the lyrics.

"Everyone choose their favorite tune," Dumbledore said. "Ready, sing!"

"Hogwarts..." Muya was trying hard to muddle through when, all of a sudden, the melody of Funeral March came from the Gryffindor side. It was that pair of twins.

Muya found it interesting, so she followed along behind them and finished singing the school song.

By the time everyone else had finished, only the three of them were still going. The twins looked at Muya, their eyes shining.

After the school song ended, Dumbledore symbolically wiped his eyes, then told everyone they could return to their dormitories.

"Hufflepuff first years, follow us." A boy and a girl stood up.

"Go on, Mya Mu." It was Cedric.

Muya followed behind a group of little beans, arriving together on the basement level. The older boy and girl walking in front stopped and revealed a pile of large barrels. "Our house doesn't have any password, but you need to tap the bottom lid of the two middle barrels in the second row to the rhythm of Helga Hufflepuff. Like this."

After saying that, the older boy tapped with his wand. Unexpectedly, the lid automatically spun open, revealing a passage. "Keep up, little wizards."

"Our common room is the safest in the whole school, so none of you need to worry about outsiders getting in." The older girl smiled as she gave the little wizards a bit of an explanation.

"We're here."

The style of the common room was adorable and very comfortable. There were plants decorating the surroundings, the sofas were yellow and black, and there was a fireplace, with a portrait of a lady above it.

Some plants happily sang and danced when they saw the little wizards come in. It was warm and interesting, and it was neither cold nor hot here. It was also close to the kitchens. Muya thought it was amazing, super suited to a Chinese baby's constitution.

Next, the older girl led the girls to the girls' dormitory. Muya's roommates were Hannah Abbott, Susan Bones, and Sally-Anne Perkins.

After the four of them greeted each other, Muya prepared to take off her outer robe. To her surprise, she discovered that underneath, she was still wearing her Little Raccoon pajamas.

She went to look beside her bed, and the suitcase sitting there was actually the one she had left at home. She opened it and rummaged around. Socks, clothes, shoes, toiletries, a desk lamp... no, why was it all her stuff? She remembered this suitcase was not that spacious!

Her three roommates watched Muya pull some things out of a strange pale-yellow suitcase. They were a little curious, but out of politeness, they did not disturb her and continued organizing their own things.

Muya thought, It can't have packed every single thing from my house in here, right?

She opened the suitcase completely, and suddenly felt a suction force. She was sucked into the suitcase. She was doomed. The suitcase ate people.

With a "plop," Muya landed on a lawn. Wow, I love this land.

"Meow~" What the heck? Where did a cat come from? Muya slowly got up, and the instant she saw the cat clearly, she froze. Wasn't this her cat? Who had abducted her cat over here?!

She looked up and saw her house? Huh? Right now, her head was full of "?" She was definitely dreaming. How was she supposed to get out now? Waiting online, very urgent.

She felt around for ages and finally managed to come out of the suitcase. After coming out, she saw that her other three roommates had all gathered around.

"Mya Mu, where did you just go?"

"Yeah, you suddenly disappeared!"

"What happened to you just now? I saw you seemed to be crouching here."

Hearing the concern in her three roommates' voices, Muya felt the corpse spots on her body fade.

"I'm fine, I'm fine. I was just eaten by the suitcase just now."

"Merlin's socks, what did you say? Eaten by the suitcase? Oh, that's simply too terrifying!" Hannah said in horror.

"Are you hurt anywhere? Oh, tomorrow we have to take your suitcase to the Head of House. Oh no, maybe we should show it to Headmaster Dumbledore. He's the greatest wizard." This one was Susan.

"It looks like this suitcase must have had some spell cast on it. Mya Mu, has anyone else touched your suitcase?" The steadier one was Sally-Anne.

"Uh... I don't remember." What could Muya say? She did not even know how she had come here. Would she know who had touched her suitcase?

Muya patted Susan and Hannah on the shoulders. Seeing the two of them so scared, she instantly felt less afraid herself. "Okay, okay, tomorrow's matters can wait until tomorrow. Tomorrow's matters absolutely cannot be done today. You all go rest."

After Hannah, Susan, and Sally-Anne returned to their own beds, Muya looked again at the things she had just taken out, then pinched her face. Hiss, she felt that. So she was not dreaming.

Sigh, she had thought it was something huge. As she put the things back into the suitcase, she thought, it turned out it was just that she and her house had accidentally run off to some Western European country, and then she had suddenly shrunk, that was all.

Hey, the beds at this school were actually pretty comfortable, huh. Sleep, sleep.

Muya, who had just closed her eyes while lying in bed, suddenly startled awake again. No, who did this wicked thing?! When she found this person, she would definitely have to give him one big slap to vent her anger.

All right, now she could close her eyes. Sleep, sleep...

Headmaster's office.

"Today really was a magical day, don't you think, Fawkes?" The phoenix on the stand cried out.

The reasons for the crossing over and becoming smaller will be explained later, and it wasn't done by one person. As for the school supplies and so on, those were also bought by the female lead herself.
