A Visit to Sean's Home

Dumbledore waved a hand. "Of course."

Then he wrote a letter and sent it to Nicolas Flamel. Snape raised an eyebrow. He had not expected Nicolas Flamel to take on a student.

Mya Mu bit into an apple and looked at the two of them. Each had their own thoughts, so she spread her hands. She felt that both of them had plenty of tricks up their sleeves.

Still, she had something else to take care of lately. "Professor Snape, one of my classmates invited me to his house. He'll come here to pick me up tomorrow."

"A boy?" Dumbledore spoke before Snape could say anything.

"Mm-hm." Mya Mu answered. She did not know how Dumbledore had known.

Snape shot Dumbledore a glance. "You aren't planning to stay here, are you?"

Dumbledore smiled. "Oh, Severus, I'm sure you still have rooms available here."

Snape curled his lips maliciously. "Tangtang, see our guest out."

In the end, Dumbledore was not thrown out. Mya Mu noticed that Snape's mood had worsened.

The next morning, Sean cautiously crawled out of the fireplace. He had only poked his head out when a head of black hair gave him a fright.

"Hey, Sean, did I scare you?" Mya Mu turned around, smiling at him.

"Phew... you really gave me a scare, Mya Mu." Sean patted his racing heart. His legs had nearly gone weak just now.

He then steadied himself against a chair and blinked. "Professor Snape isn't home?"

Mya Mu washed an apple for him. "That's right. He and Dumbledore left before dawn. Their footsteps sounded hurried, so it was probably something urgent."

"Then come to my house now!" Sean took a bite of the apple and looked at Mya Mu expectantly.

"Sure."

At Thor Manor, Sean and Mya Mu appeared from the fireplace one after the other. The moment they stepped out, they saw a blond-haired couple.

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

"It's nice to meet you, Mr. Thor and Mrs. Thor." Luckily, she still remembered Sean's surname.

"We're happy to meet you too, Mya Mu. Go have fun. We'll call you when lunch is ready." Mr. and Mrs. Thor spoke much like Sean did, which made Mya Mu feel at ease.

"Come on. Want to see our garden first?" Sean smiled and held out his hand.

"Mm!"

When they arrived at the garden, Mya Mu was stunned. The entire place was filled with every kind of flower, grass, and plant.

"My mother likes collecting beautiful, fragrant flowers, and my father likes plants too, so the garden gradually grew bigger." Sean casually brushed a strange-looking blade of grass.

"Do they dance?" Mya Mu was curious. Professor Sprout liked the dancing plants in the common room.

Sean shook his head. "No, but this flower sings." He lightly touched the bud of the flower in front of him.

The music was fresh and pleasant, and Mya Mu found it quite interesting.

Sean then took Mya Mu to see his recreation room. Inside were a broomstick, a wall full of hats, a cauldron, and some books.

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

"Did you have fun?" It was Snape's voice. Only Snape sat in the living room; Dumbledore was nowhere to be seen.

"It was great." Mya Mu picked up the dessert Tangtang had prepared and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Dumbledore went to the Ministry of Magic. He said he'll take you to see Nicolas Flamel in a few days." Snape put down his newspaper and looked up, only to see Mya Mu patting her chest.

Snape: ...

"Cough, cough, I ate too fast..." Mya Mu pretended to remain calm as she drank the milk Tangtang handed her.

Snape suddenly realized that Mya Mu had been living in his house for a month, yet she had not written a single word of her homework.

"Starting tomorrow, you'll do your homework. I'll supervise you." After saying that, Snape went upstairs.

Mya Mu choked on his words. No, she had completely forgotten about homework. Why did he have to bring it up all of a sudden?

Forget it. Mya Mu decided to finish the letters she needed to send to her friends first.

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

"Hoot."

Unexpectedly, at exactly eight o'clock, Snape came knocking on her door. After she had washed up and eaten breakfast, he brought her and her homework to the Potions classroom. He even conjured a desk and chair for her and told her to start writing.

So Snape's idea of supervision was for him to make potions on one side while she did homework on the other?

Fine. Mya Mu decided it was better not to make Snape angry. After all, even while making potions today, he seemed to be gritting his teeth and muttering, "A Potions Master like me," and, "What a waste of talent."

Mya Mu could not understand what he was saying, nor did she want to.

"Professor, if I finish my Potions homework, can you give me a reward?" Seeing the name Dumbledore that she had just written on her assignment, Mya Mu came up with a small future plan for running away from home.

Mya Mu thought that Dumbledore was not exactly a responsible guardian anyway. Perhaps one day he would casually dump her somewhere, so she might as well stay at Spinner's End.

"Hmph, Miss Muya certainly knows how to ask for favors. Go on, what reward do you want?" Snape was thinking that he would first find out what Mya Mu wanted, then refuse her outright.

"I want to learn Apparition, so if Dumbledore ever dumps me in some remote corner, I can come back here." Mya Mu looked at Snape with wide eyes.

Snape hesitated. Dumbledore really might do something like that. For the sake of his plan, there was nothing he would not do.

Snape agreed, but he also warned Mya Mu that she had better take learning Apparition seriously. She should not end up losing an arm or a leg. Mya Mu was genuinely frightened by what he said.

Mya Mu decided that she would read up tonight on how to avoid losing limbs while Apparating.

Mya Mu sped up her homework, hoping that once she finished, she would have a little more time.

However, after finishing her homework and eating dinner, Mya Mu was so tired that she fell asleep. Over the past few days, she had let Qiqi and Miao Miao out. Luckily, Tangtang was there, so the two of them did not have to go hungry with her.

Two days after Snape began teaching Mya Mu, Dumbledore came again. He had come to take Mya Mu to see Nicolas Flamel.

Seeing this, Snape slipped back into the Potions classroom.

"Hello, teachers." Mya Mu obediently followed beside Dumbledore and greeted Mr. and Mrs. LeMay.

They had lived for several hundred years, so Mya Mu had to be careful around them. She could not accidentally hurt the elderly couple.

"Hahaha, this is the child I told you about last time, Mya Mu." Dumbledore lightly patted Mya Mu on the head. Mya Mu smiled the entire time. Though the corners of her mouth had become a little stiff, she persevered.
