Oh No, Caught

"Can this mirror predict the future?" Ron turned to ask Harry.

Harry shook his head and looked at Muya.

Muya had no choice but to tell them her guess, "I think it can show us some kind of desire in our hearts."

"Alright, it's getting late, let's go back to sleep." Muya pushed the two out of the room.

The next morning, Muya woke up to find that the snow from the day before had not melted, so she pulled Fred and George along to play in the snow.

"Oh, take this, Fred." Muya made a snowball and sneak-attacked Fred from behind as he was passionately arguing with George.

Unfortunately, Fred dodged it with a sidestep, and then he said aggrievedly, "Little badger, how could you do this to me?"

"Hey." George seized the opportunity and hit Fred's back with a snowball.

Muya couldn't help but cover her face and laugh, and then the three of them were engaged in a battle, having to defend against Fred on the left and George on the right.

When the three were tired from fighting, they lay on the snow and laughed together.

Then, around dinner time, Muya unfortunately got a fever, and it was Vester who discovered it.

Shortly after she entered the school infirmary, Snape arrived in a hurry with a potion, "I hope Miss Mu's head hasn't been frozen silly by the snow." Oh, what a start, as expected of Snape.

"Not yet, Professor." Muya's hand trembled as she reached out to greet him.

Snape glanced at Vester, then at Muya, his brow furrowed. He handed the potion to Vester, "Give this to her to drink." Then he left.

Muya watched his retreating back, feeling that he seemed a bit busy today. Busy is good.

"Ya Mu, here." Vester helped Muya sit up, then opened the potion bottle. Muya felt that just smelling it made the medicine seem particularly bitter.

However, Vester also thought of this. He took out a Snow Treasure Candy from his bag, which looked like the one Muya had given him during Halloween.

"Can you eat the candy after drinking the potion?" Vester placed the candy in Muya's palm.

Muya looked at Vester and smiled, "Vester, you're like coaxing a child!"

"It's a child to begin with," Vester said softly.

Muya took the potion and drank it down in two or three gulps, then quickly popped the candy into her mouth. "It's really awful." Muya stuck out her tongue and vowed in her heart never to get sick again.

Then, Muya asked Vester to hurry back to the Great Hall for dinner. He asked if she wanted him to bring anything back for her, and Muya said no. He gave her another piece of candy before leaving.

Not long after Vester left, another group of people arrived, it was Harry and the others.

"Little badger, we're sorry."

"It's all our fault you caught a cold." Fred and George, like two golden retrievers, leaned over Muya's sickbed.

"Please forgive us!"

Muya put her hand on her forehead, "I forgive you." Then she patted their heads.

Muya looked at Harry and Ron, who were staring blankly beside her, "Hi, Harry, Ron, are you guys here to see me too?"

"Oh, right." Harry placed the basket in his hand on the cabinet. "These are the cucumbers and strawberries you grew that Hagrid helped pick. We're here to deliver them."

"Thank you."

"By the way, Ya Mu, you probably haven't had dinner yet." Ron took out a bowl of warm pumpkin porridge he had brought.

"Oh, little Ronny, when did you get that?" Fred and George looked at Ron.

"Cough." Ron avoided their gaze and handed the bowl and spoon to Muya.

"Thank you, Ron." Muya took it and smiled at Ron.

"No, you're welcome."

The few of them stayed there for a while before Madam Pomfrey called them out.

Actually, Muya had been feeling a bit drowsy just now, but Harry and the others were still talking, so Muya would respond to them from time to time. Now she could finally sleep.

Daylight broke, and Muya opened her eyes. She found that her fever had subsided. Snape's potion was really effective.

She put on her clothes and went to the Great Hall for breakfast, sneezing several times along the way.

Muya precisely sat down next to Vester. "Good morning, Vester."

Vester nodded. "Good morning, Ya Mu, are you feeling better?"

"Mmm, Ah-choo!" Vester chuckled and moved the warm porridge in front of Muya.

After breakfast, Muya went to find Harry and the others because Hermione had assigned her an important task before she left: supervising Harry and Ron's holiday homework. Muya felt that Hermione was truly like their mother.

Muya arranged to meet them at the library. Ron quietly told her that Harry had gone to see the mirror again last night.

Ron said that the mirror gave him a strange feeling, and he had advised Harry against it, but Harry hadn't listened.

Muya didn't know how to persuade him, so she decided to go there herself tonight to see if she could stop him.

Supervising Harry and Ron's homework was truly a difficult task. They asked her many questions they didn't know, making her feel like she was doing it twice.

Finally, they completed all their homework before dinner that day.

That evening, as soon as Harry entered the room with the mirror, he saw Muya inside eating potato chips. "Harry, you're here!"

"Mya Mu? What are you doing here?" Harry walked over and sat next to her, the same spot he had sat in last night.

"Achoo, have some chips, Harry." Muya directly handed the entire bag of chips to Harry, then looked at the mirror. This time, she saw a group of her current friends and some astonishingly grown vegetables and fruits.

"Oh Harry, Mya Mu, you're here again." Dumbledore's voice came from behind them.

"I've only been here twice." Muya stood up, patting her clothes, thinking to herself, Oh no, I've been caught.

"Oh, that's right, I saw you both the first time too." Dumbledore said, getting down from the table and sitting with them.

Muya sat back down after brushing the chip crumbs off her clothes. Dumbledore looked at the chip bag in Harry's hand. "Is there any left?"

Harry nodded and handed him the bag. "Oh, tomato flavor."

"You, like the thousands of people before you, have discovered the allure of the Mirror of Erised."

"We didn't know it was called that, sir," Harry said.

"Mirror of Erised? Besides showing people's innermost desires, what else is it good for?" Muya asked Dumbledore.

"Oh, the happiest person in the world can use the Mirror of Erised as an ordinary mirror. In other words, what they see in the mirror is their own reflection."

"You're right, Mya Mu. It does have other uses, but its most important function is to show us our deepest, most urgent, and strongest desires. Many people become obsessed with this mirror, even driven to madness." Dumbledore glanced meaningfully at Harry.
