As Harry's birthday approached, Muya wondered why she hadn't received a reply from him yet.

Even Miao Miao, who had gone to deliver the letter, hadn't returned. Muya thought, could something have happened?

She couldn't Apparate long distances yet. He glanced at Snape, who was sitting on her sofa watching TV.

"Professor Snape..." Muya felt uncertain. After all, Snape openly targeted Harry and disliked students outside of Slytherin.

"No..." Snape had barely uttered the syllable when he saw Muya's teary eyes. He hesitated.

Snape ultimately compromised, stating he would take Muya to Privet Drive and then leave.

Muya naturally nodded in agreement.

Upon arriving at Harry's aunt's house, Muya saw Miao Miao sleeping soundly in a large tree nearby after sending Snape away.

Muya: "Hey, so you little guy were just chilling here comfortably, huh?"

She climbed the tree to retrieve Miao Miao, but once she sat down, she saw Harry sitting alone in the garden.

"Hey, Harry!" Muya called out to Harry, holding Miao Miao.

Harry, who was brooding alone: Huh? Who's calling me?

"Harry, look up."

Harry then saw Muya in the tree, like a monkey.

Muya sat next to Harry, swinging her legs. "Harry, why haven't you replied to my letter?"

Harry looked confused. "Did you send me a letter?"

"It's not just you; I haven't received letters from Hermione or the others either," Harry said, his tone tinged with grievance.

How could this be?!

"Miao Miao is here, so it must be your aunt and the others hiding all the letters we sent you!" Muya realized.

"They're totally capable of doing that!" Harry said.

Muya mysteriously pulled out a gift box and placed it on Harry's lap. Meeting his gaze, Muya tilted her chin. "Open it and see."

Harry opened it and found a cake. Another gift box appeared in his line of sight. He turned his head and met Muya's smiling face.

"Happy birthday, Harry!" Muya said.

Harry thought this was a birthday he would never forget.

That afternoon, Muya celebrated Harry's 12th birthday with him on the garden lawn.

That day, Muya received a letter from Hogwarts.

She immediately took it to Snape. "Professor, I don't recognize some of the textbook names on here."

Snape took it and looked at the book titles Muya pointed to. The author was all the same person: Lockhart.

"Heh." Snape let out a disdainful laugh. He thought Muya had a point; Dumbledore's judgment was indeed poor.

Breaking Up with Female Ghosts, Traveling with Ghouls, Vacationing with a Banshee, Traveling with Trolls, Sailing with Vampires... No, these titles sounded so much like novels.

Dumbledore wasn't very reliable either!

Muya decided to go buy books with Snape. Although Snape hadn't planned to go, he couldn't resist Muya's pitiful act.

Muya: New skill acquired.

When they arrived at Flourish and Blotts, Muya found it was already packed.

What's going on?

Snape behind her immediately wanted to leave, but luckily Muya was quick-witted and grabbed a corner of his robe.

"Oh my goodness, come quickly, dear, the handsome Lockhart is inside," a woman said, pulling her sister towards the bookstore.

"Professor Snape, let's go in quickly too." She wanted to see what their new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Lockhart, looked like.

Snape thought Muya was also infatuated with Lockhart and looked at her with a complex expression.

Upon entering, Snape immediately saw the Malfoys, father and son, upstairs. He nodded to Lucius in greeting, and Lucius restrained the restless Draco beside him.

Snape said to Muya, "I'll wait for you outside." Muya gave him an "OK" gesture.

Muya immediately spotted Harry, standing inside with a fake smile and dust on his clothes. Beside him stood a wizard with blue eyes, curly blonde hair, a pointed wizard hat, and a blue robe.

He's quite good-looking, Muya thought.

Harry had clearly seen Muya too; her black hair was too distinctive to miss.

"Ya..." Muya heard a sound, as a crowd of young ladies swarmed forward.

"Are you okay?" a girl with red hair pulled Muya aside.

Muya smiled and thanked her. "I'm fine, thank you."

"Oh, it's Little Badger!" Fred and George surrounded Muya, pinching and patting her.

"Stop!" It was Hermione. Muya exclaimed, A savior!

She stepped forward, pulled Muya and the twins apart, then hugged Muya tightly. "I missed you so much, Ya Mu."

"You're Mya Mu!" the red-haired girl exclaimed in surprise.

"My brothers talk about you often. I'm Ginny Weasley. May I call you Sister Ya Ya?" Fred and George exchanged glances, regretting having mentioned Muya at home. Look at their sister, so captivated by Muya.

"Then I'll call you Ginny."

Ron finally rescued Harry. "Oh, hi Mya Mu, did you buy your books yet?"

Muya shook her head. "I was just looking for them."

"We'll help you look," a group of people said.

Muya froze, feeling a bit embarrassed.

After finding all the books, Muya paid and then saw Draco and Lucius Malfoy coming downstairs.

"Hi Draco," Muya smiled and waved at Draco.

Then she looked at Lucius Malfoy. "Hello, Uncle Malfoy."

Lucius Malfoy, holding a cane, gave Muya a standard fake smile. "Draco, aren't you going to greet your friend?"

"Good afternoon, Mya Mu," Draco said, looking at Muya excitedly. He suddenly remembered something, then turned his head away, secretly watching out of the corner of his eye.

Meanwhile, Muya was chatting with Ginny and didn't notice Draco's furtive glance.

The wronged Draco was quickly pulled out the door by his father. "..."

"Professor Snape, I've bought my books!" Muya said goodbye to them and ran out to find Snape.

"Hmm, Miss Mu, were you so captivated by that Lockhart that you didn't want to leave the bookstore?"

"Your professor has been waiting for you outside the bookstore for a long time."

"I'm sorry, Professor. I just ran into some friends inside. Besides, I only glanced at Lockhart." Muya said honestly. Hermione and Ginny didn't know what was going on and insisted on continuing to look at Lockhart.

Snape believed Muya. After all, he knew Muya valued food and friendship the most; otherwise, she wouldn't have written several letters a month, using up all his parchment.

Muya: I just bought a lot more.
