Mya Mu saw Harry and the other two walking toward them and hurriedly said, "Oh, I see them. Fred, George, I'll come find you later so we can test the new prank props together."
"All right, goodbye, Muya." George smoothed down her hair.
"Muya, see you later, then. Don't forget us brothers," Fred said, half-jokingly.
Mya Mu smiled and waved goodbye to them.
Mya Mu pulled the three bewildered friends to her vegetable garden, then told them everything she knew.
"Nicolas Flamel? I think I've seen that name in a book somewhere." Hermione was greatly surprised after hearing this, but the thought of Dumbledore calmed her down.
"Actually, Ron and I went to ask Hagrid again last night. He only revealed that what Fluffy was guarding belonged to Nicolas Flamel." Harry spread his hands.
"Oh, you actually went sneaking around at night again!" Hermione glared at the guilty-looking Harry and Ron.
"Wait, haven't we got the wrong focus here? There's one, or maybe even several dangerous people in the school right now!" Ron's mouth hung open in fear.
Mya Mu patted Ron's shoulder and said calmly, "Don't worry. Dumbledore's here, after all."
"Oh, right." Ron rubbed his head, looking as though it had only just occurred to him.
"Will you keep investigating after this?" Mya Mu asked the question she most wanted answered on this trip. She always felt that the three of them rather liked seeking adventure.
"Probably not." Harry scratched his head.
"By the way, Muya, will you be staying at school for Christmas next month?" Hermione asked.
"Yes, of course. You know that." After all, her home was inside a box. "I'll have gifts ready for all of you."
"Oh, we will too," Harry and Ron replied.
Hermione sighed. "I might be going home, and I don't have an owl yet."
"Neither do I." Mya Mu looked at Hermione.
"It's fine, Hedwig can go," said Harry, the only person present who had an owl.
The next day, before the surface of Black Lake froze solid, Mya Mu went to find that Mermaid again.
"Hey, little wizard, you only came to see me now that it's this cold?" The Mermaid broke through the ice and surfaced. Even in such cold weather, he was still dressed... rather lightly.
Mya Mu immediately handed him her scarf. "Aren't Mermaids afraid of the cold?"
Mermaid:...
The Mermaid looked at the yellow scarf in his hand and smiled. "Is this a gift for our third meeting?"
"Mm-hmm." Mya Mu nodded.
"All right. I hope you can call me by my name from now on, Calori An." Calori tightened his grip on the scarf, feeling the lingering warmth on it.
"Okay, Calori." Seeing him keep holding the scarf, Mya Mu assumed he did not know how to tie one, so she stepped forward and tied it around his neck for him.
"Hmm?" Calori lowered his head to look at the scarf around his neck, then reached out and took Mya Mu's hand, smiling at her. "Thank you."
Time passed quickly. It was now mid-December, and Christmas was just around the corner. The school was blanketed in white, and Mya Mu was dragged into the snow by Fred and George to play.
"You two need to keep your gloves on too," Mya Mu said as she put on her own gloves.
"Okay, Little Badger." Each of them pinched the pom-pom on Mya Mu's hat.
Once all three had their gloves on, they started building snowmen. Three tiny snowmen of different shapes stood in a row. Fred and George exchanged a grin, drew their wands, and cast a spell at the snowmen beside them. The snowmen began to move.
The two similar snowmen started running all over the place. Seeing this, the twins built several more, and these snowmen suddenly charged in one direction.
Quirrell had just emerged from the castle when he was besieged by a crowd of rampaging snowmen. They frantically hurled snowballs at him, most of which struck his turban. Mya Mu, who was building a snow house, looked up at the commotion and was stunned.
At the crucial moment, McGonagall appeared. She immediately froze all the snowmen. "Mr. Weasleys, I believe you should receive a little punishment. Come along."
Fred and George, who had been laughing and joking just moments ago, instantly stopped laughing.
Mya Mu crawled inside and saw two red heads following McGonagall into the castle.
"Muya." A familiar voice suddenly sounded behind her. It was Theodore and the others, carrying books.
"Hi, everyone. Want to play in the snow together?" Mya Mu patted the half-finished snow house she had built, inviting the group of little snakes.
"Oh, how can you sit on the ground? Please take my hand." Blaise pulled Mya Mu to her feet in one swift motion.
Theodore cast another warming charm on Mya Mu, while Draco's eyes shifted between the three of them.
"No, we're about to go to class." Draco grabbed Blaise, who was busy displaying his peacock tail.
"Muya, I've prepared a Christmas gift for you." Theodore spoke as he stared into Mya Mu's eyes.
Mya Mu patted the snow from her clothes. "Thank you, Theodore. I've prepared gifts for everyone too, but I don't have an owl."
"It doesn't matter..."
Before Theodore could finish, Draco immediately spoke up. "Hmph, I've prepared one too. When the time comes, I'll have my owl find you."
"All right, class is about to start. Let's go, go, go." Then he dragged the other two away.
Mya Mu pulled Hannah, who was having a snowball fight, over to continue building the snow house. Once it was finished, they returned to the Great Hall for a meal. Seeing Fred and George seated at the Gryffindor table, Mya Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Muya, how long were you out playing in the snow today?" Cedric asked, glancing at Mya Mu's reddened hands.
"Um... probably three hours." Mya Mu hurriedly hugged the bowl of soup in front of her to warm herself.
"But we built a huge snow house. Do you want to go see it?"
"Of course." Cedric nodded with a smile.
After dinner, a group of them went to see the finished snow house. Sean thought it was a little too small, so he used magic to enlarge it. Now, the snow house could fit all of them.
That evening, in the Headmaster's office, it was the same familiar pair again. Dumbledore and Mya Mu sat facing each other.
"Do you have some kind of plan?" Seeing that Dumbledore had not caught the culprit who wanted to harm Harry and steal the Sorcerer's Stone after all this time, Mya Mu had come to the Headmaster's office for tea.
"Oh, yes." Dumbledore pushed a cup of hot cocoa toward Mya Mu. "Child, I didn't expect you to be so perceptive."
As expected of the greatest wizard. He really was a conspirator.
"Muya, I'd like you to spend the summer with Severus. Would that be all right?"
"Professor Snape agreed?" Mya Mu thought Snape probably would not agree, and besides... letting him take care of a child?
"He agreed." Dumbledore smiled when he saw Mya Mu's surprised expression.
Snape: Hmph.
