Dumbledore waved his hand, "Of course."

Then he wrote a letter and sent it to Nicolas Flamel. Snape raised an eyebrow, he hadn't expected Nicolas Flamel to take students anymore.

Muya gnawed on an apple and looked at the two of them. They each had different thoughts. She shrugged, feeling like they both had many schemes up their sleeves.

However, she had something else to do recently. "Professor Snape, a classmate of mine invited me to his house to play. He'll come here to pick me up tomorrow."

"A boy?" Before Snape could speak, Dumbledore interjected.

"Uh-huh," Muya replied, not knowing how Dumbledore knew.

Snape glanced at Dumbledore, "You're not planning to stay with me, are you?"

Dumbledore chuckled, "Oh Severus, I'm sure you have room here."

Snape smirked maliciously, "Tangtang, show him out."

In the end, he didn't drive Dumbledore out. Muya noticed that Snape's mood had soured.

The next morning, Sean cautiously emerged from the fireplace. As soon as his head popped out, he was startled by a head of black hair.

"Hey, Sean, did I scare you?" Muya turned around, a smile on her lips as she looked at Sean.

"Phew... You really gave me a scare, Ya Mu." Sean patted his chest, his legs had gone weak just now.

Then he steadied himself by holding onto a chair and blinked, "Is Professor Snape not home?"

Muya went to wash an apple for him, "Yeah, he and Dumbledore left before dawn. Their footsteps sounded hurried, so they must have had an urgent matter."

"Alright, let's go to my place now!" Sean took a bite of the apple and looked at Muya expectantly.

"Okay."

At Thor Manor, Sean and Muya appeared in the fireplace one after another. As soon as they stepped out, they saw a couple with blonde hair.

"These are my parents," Sean looked at Muya, then turned to his parents, "This is Ya Mu."

"It's nice to meet you, Mr. and Mrs. Thor." Fortunately, she remembered Sean's last name.

"We're very happy to meet you too, Ya Mu. Go play, we'll call you when lunch is ready." The Thors spoke in a similar manner to Sean, which Muya found comfortable.

"Let's go, do you want to see my garden first?" Sean smiled and extended his hand.

"Yes!"

Upon arriving at the garden, Muya was stunned. The entire garden was filled with all sorts of flowers and plants.

"My mother likes to collect beautiful and fragrant flowers, and my father also likes plants, so the garden gradually grew larger." Sean casually fiddled with a strange-looking herb.

"Do they dance?" Muya was very curious. Professor Sprout's favorite plants were the dancing ones in the common room.

Sean shook his head, "No, but this flower can sing." He gently touched the bud of a flower in front of him.

It was a very refreshing melody, and Muya found it quite interesting.

Afterward, Sean took Muya to see his entertainment room, which contained a broomstick, a wall of hats, a cauldron, and some books.

After lunch, Muya played with Sean for a while longer before returning to Spinner's End.

"How was your outing?" It was Snape's voice. Only Snape was sitting in the living room; Dumbledore was nowhere to be seen.

"It was great." Muya picked up the dessert Tangtang had made and popped it into her mouth.

"Dumbledore went to the Ministry of Magic. He said he'd take you to Nicolas Flamel's in a few days." Snape put down the newspaper he was reading and looked up to see Muya patting her chest.

Snape: ...

"Ahem, I ate too quickly..." Muya pretended to be calm, drinking the milk Tangtang handed her.

Snape suddenly realized that Muya had been living at his place for a month and hadn't touched her homework at all.

"You'll start writing your homework tomorrow. I'll supervise you," Snape said before going upstairs.

Muya choked on his words. No, she had completely forgotten about homework, why did he have to bring it up now!

Never mind, Muya decided to finish writing the letters she needed to send to her friends first.

"I'm counting on you, Miao Miao," Muya patted the owl's head.

"Hoo."

Unexpectedly, at exactly 8 o'clock, Snape knocked on her door. He then took her, who had finished washing up and eating breakfast, along with her homework, to the potions classroom. He conjured a table and chair for her to start writing.

So, Snape's supervision meant he would be brewing potions while she did her homework?

Fine, Muya decided it was best not to anger Snape. After all, he seemed to be grinding his teeth a bit while brewing potions today, muttering, "I, the dignified Potions Master," and "This is such a waste of my talent."

Muya didn't understand what he was saying, nor did she want to.

"Professor, if I finish my potions homework, can I have a reward?" Seeing Dumbledore's name that she had just written on her homework, Muya came up with a small plan to run away from home in the future.

Muya thought, Dumbledore wasn't a very responsible guardian anyway. He might just abandon her somewhere in the future, so she might as well stay at Spinner's End.

"Heh, Miss Mu, you certainly know how to ask for favors. Go ahead, tell me what reward you want." Snape was thinking about finding out what Muya wanted first, and then flatly refusing it.

"I want to learn Apparition, so that Dumbledore won't send me to some forgotten corner in the future. That way, I can still come back here," Muya said, looking at Snape with wide eyes.

Hiss, Snape hesitated for a moment. Dumbledore really might do something like that; he'd do anything for his plans.

Snape agreed. He also gave Muya a warning: learning Apparition required seriousness, lest she end up missing limbs. Muya was genuinely scared by his words.

Muya decided to read some books tonight to figure out how to avoid losing limbs during Apparition.

Muya sped up her homework, hoping to have more time after finishing it.

As a result, Muya fell asleep from exhaustion after finishing her homework and eating dinner. She had let Qiqi and Miao Miao out these past few days. Fortunately, Tangtang was there, so they wouldn't follow her and go hungry.

Two days after Snape taught Muya, Dumbledore arrived again. He had come to take Muya to meet Nicolas Flamel.

Seeing this, Snape retreated back into the Potions classroom.

"Hello, Professor," Muya greeted Nicolas Flamel and his wife obediently while walking beside Dumbledore.

They had lived for hundreds of years. Muya had to be careful in her interactions, lest she accidentally hurt the elderly couple.

"Hahaha, this is the child I told you about last time, my child Ya Mu." Dumbledore gently patted Muya's head. Muya smiled the whole time, though the corners of her mouth felt a bit stiff. Still, she persevered.

If you can't find the book by its title, you can try searching for the author. Perhaps the title has just been changed!
