Harry and Ron weren't expelled, but they were still confined to detention.

"Old Mischief-Maker, why did you hire a novelist to be a professor at the school?" Muya asked as she watched Dumbledore skillfully enter her home.

Dumbledore winked playfully, "Oh Ya Mu, you haven't read his works, have you?"

Muya rolled her eyes speechlessly and pulled out the textbooks on the sofa. "Look at these titles, how chuunibyo are they?"

Dumbledore smiled without a word.

"Is he really that capable?"

In the morning, Muya was groggily woken up by Shalian.

"Shalian, are you reading this early in the morning?" Muya asked after finishing her washing and coming out to see Shalian holding a book.

She took a closer look and it was actually Breaking Up With Female Ghosts.

"Yeah."

She hadn't expected Hannah and Susan to also be holding Lockhart's novels. Seriously, was she the only one in this dorm not interested in Lockhart?

The group went to have breakfast together.

As Muya was eating her porridge, a sudden noise came from the Gryffindor table.

"What happened?" Muya wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief and looked towards the Gryffindor table.

"It's the Weasley family's owl." Cedric had seen Ron's family owl before.

Someone shouted, "Weasley received a Howler!"

The students immediately became restless, and even Cedric and the others' expressions changed.

"Cover your ears in a moment, Ya Ya." Cedric tugged at Muya's hand, which was about to continue eating her porridge.

Muya looked at the others, and they all nodded at her.

She felt a bit bewildered but still covered her ears.

The next second, a huge sound filled the entire hall.

"...Stealing a car, I wouldn't be surprised if they expelled you, just you wait and see how I deal with you. You probably never even thought about how your father felt when he discovered the car was gone..."

It was Mrs. Weasley's voice. Her tone was completely different from when she spoke to Muya, like a roaring lion. Muya even saw the spoon she had just used on the table trembling.

Almost everyone in the hall turned their heads towards the Gryffindor direction, wanting to see which unlucky soul had received the Howler.

And now, the recipient of the Howler, Ron, was shrinking in his chair.

Ron: I don't dare to open my eyes, I hope this is just my hallucination.

Mrs. Weasley's words continued.

"Last night, we received a letter from Dumbledore, and your father was so ashamed he almost died. We worked so hard to raise you, and we never expected you to do something like this. You and Harry almost lost your lives..." Her tone was half anger and half relief.

"...It's infuriating, your father will be investigated at work, and this is all your fault. If you don't behave yourself, we'll bring you back immediately!"

The huge roar finally stopped. Muya felt like her eardrums were about to burst if it didn't stop.

"Are you okay?" Vester asked Muya.

"Uh... what?" Muya felt dizzy.

Hannah handed a cup of water to Muya.

Sean let out a chuckle.

If you can't find the book by its title, you can try searching for the author. Maybe the name was just changed!

The first class was Herbology with Gryffindor, and the four of them went to the greenhouse.

When they arrived, they found many students standing outside the greenhouse waiting for Professor Sprout. Soon, Muya saw Harry and the other two, and she greeted them.

As they entered, they saw Professor Sprout walking over from the lawn, with Lockhart beside her. Muya noticed several female students swooning.

Professor Sprout had some bandages on her arm.

Lockhart, beaming, called out to them, "Good morning, students. I was just demonstrating to Professor Sprout how to treat the Whomping Willow."

"But I don't want you to think I'm better than her at Herbology! I just happened to see a few of these peculiar plants during my travels."

Muya rolled her eyes at him with a smug look. No one thought that, okay? Did we say anything?

"Today, we're going to the third greenhouse."

Muya, with her sharp eyes, noticed that Professor Sprout's face lacked its usual cheerfulness and seemed a bit angry. What was going on? Did Lockhart's words upset her?

But Muya didn't think about it for long, as class was about to start.

Opening the door, the air was filled with the smell of soil, fertilizer, and flowers. The flowers here were particularly large, hanging down from the ceiling.

Behind her, Lockhart blocked Harry. "Professor Sprout, you won't mind that he's two minutes late, will you?"

Professor Sprout certainly minded. Before she could speak, Lockhart said, "That's great," and then he closed the door.

Muya quickly pulled Hermione and Ron to their seats.

After a few minutes, Harry finally returned and sat next to Ron to continue the class. In this class, they also met a young badger named Justin Finch-Fletchley.

Of course, they also gained quite a few points from this class.

Students from both houses were covered in mud and sweat, dragging their tired bodies back to the school to shower.

Gryffindor's next class was Transfiguration, while Hufflepuff's was Potions. Muya quickly said goodbye to Hermione and the others.

Susan suddenly felt a stomach ache and went to the school infirmary. Muya, Hannah, and Shalian took their things and headed to the underground classroom.

It was the familiar paired-up potion-making setup again. However, with Susan gone, Muya had to find a new partner.

She saw Theodore, who was also alone, and moved her things over.

Although the other little snakes and little badgers looked at Muya in shock, Snape managed to keep the situation under control.

"Hi, Theodore," Muya greeted him first. Draco, in front of them, glanced at her and then snorted.

Muya was speechless. As expected of the young master, his temper was also that of a young master. How had she offended him?

Fine, was he really that angry because she didn't attend his birthday party?

"Be careful, you're going to cut your hand," Theodore suddenly said, interrupting Muya's thoughts.

Muya looked down and realized he was right. She had almost cut her hand. Luckily, Theodore had warned her.

"Thank you, Theodore!" Muya smiled at him.

"You're welcome," Theodore pursed his lips and said nothing more, continuing to process the potion ingredients in his hands.

Potions class ended. Just as Muya was about to go enjoy a delicious lunch with Shalian and the others, she suddenly stopped a little snake.

"Are you Ya Mu?" Hey, why did everyone know her?

"Yes, what is it?"

The girl opposite her had an unfriendly aura. She had short black hair.

"I'm Pansy Parkinson. Stay away from Malfoy from now on!" Muya was stunned after she said that.

No, why did that sentence sound so familiar?
