Wasn't this a classic scene from a novel?
The second female lead telling the innocent little heroine to stay away from the male lead—just thinking about it made Muya feel disgusted.
"Oh, what does Draco have to do with you?"
Hannah frowned as well. She knew the Parkinson family wanted to arrange a marriage with the Malfoy family.
"Parkinson, don't assume everyone is like you."
"Heh, who knows?"
"Bootlicker." Muya tossed out those words and pulled Hannah and the others away. She wasn't some innocent little heroine.
While they were eating, Hannah and the others looked at her worriedly. She couldn't help saying, "Don't worry. Shall we go see Susan later?"
"Mm-hm."
Muya and the others brought Susan some food she could eat, then headed to the School Hospital.
Madam Pomfrey told them they could only visit for ten minutes at most before they had to leave. They nodded.
"Hey, Susan, how are you feeling?" Muya sat down while eating an apple, and Hannah handed the food to Susan.
"Much better."
"By the way, could I trouble you to bring my textbooks for me later?" Susan didn't want to miss Lockhart's class.
Shalian was the first to nod. "Of course."
"Good afternoon, junior Mya." A gentle female voice suddenly came from the doorway.
Muya looked up and saw that it was Ravenclaw's Cho Chang.
"Good afternoon, senior Cho." The two smiled at each other.
Seeing that the two knew each other, Hannah and the others didn't interrupt.
"What's wrong, Senior?" Muya was referring to Cho Chang coming to the School Hospital.
"I'm not feeling well." Cho Chang smiled at Muya. "It's nothing, just a minor issue."
Muya nodded.
When visiting hours ended, Cho Chang finished her treatment and came out with them.
"What class do you have this afternoon?"
"Defense Against the Dark Arts, Senior," Muya said.
They continued chatting about this and that, while Shalian and the others chimed in from time to time.
Cho Chang was heading to Potions class. After gathering their things, Muya and the others went to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.
They casually picked a row and sat down.
Lockhart appeared soon afterward, holding someone else's textbook.
Pointing at himself on the cover, Lockhart said, "I am Gilderoy Lockhart, recipient of Merlin's Third Class Order, Honorary Member of the Dark Arts Defense League, and five-time winner of Wizard Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award."
Muya glanced at the book cover, wondering whether such an award really existed.
"I see that you've all bought my complete collection. Excellent. We can begin with a short quiz." He smiled at the students.
"You have thirty minutes. Begin now."
Muya hated quizzes the most, especially weird quizzes like this.
1. What is Gilderoy Lockhart's favorite color?
How was she supposed to know? What kind of lunatic question was that?
2. What is Gilderoy Lockhart's secret ambition?
To ram everyone to death.
3. What do you think is Gilderoy Lockhart's greatest achievement to date?
Being a novelist.
What the hell was this? Muya wanted no part of it, thanks.
Lockhart quickly collected all the papers. "Oh, what a pity. Not a single person got a perfect score."
Then he suddenly held up a test paper for everyone to see. "Where is Miss Mya Mu?"
Muya calmly raised her hand, though inside, she was panicking from everyone staring at her.
Lockhart's expression darkened slightly. "Oh, there you are. After class, I'd like you to come to my office, all right?"
Muya thought she must have scored terribly, but there was nothing she could do about that.
He then set all the papers aside and took out a cage covered with a black cloth.
Lockhart said he was going to teach them how to defend against the most evil creatures, and told them not to scream.
The cage turned out to contain a group of Cornish Pixies.
Muya thought Lockhart was better suited to acting in a stage play.
Everyone looked at the pixies and began whispering among themselves.
Just a second before Lockhart opened the cage, Muya raised her hand. "Miss Mya Mu, what is it?"
"Professor, you haven't told us the spell to deal with these pixies."
"Oh, yes, yes. The spell is Peskipiksi Pesternomi!"
Then he opened the cage. In an instant, the Cornish Pixies flew everywhere, wreaking havoc all around the room.
"Immobulus!" Muya hit several pixies that were approaching them.
The four girls exchanged a look, then immobilized all the pixies flying at them from every direction. Muya even accidentally immobilized Lockhart as well.
"Oh, I'm terribly sorry, Professor Lockhart." She had done it on purpose.
"N-no problem. Due to Miss Mya Mu's outstanding performance, Hufflepuff receives ten points." Lockhart was extremely embarrassed, and he had no idea where the pixies had thrown his wand.
"Study on your own for now."
"That spell Lockhart just said didn't work at all," Muya said flatly.
"Oh, yes." Shalian and the other three nodded.
It wasn't until class was over that Lockhart appeared again. "Class dismissed, everyone."
Then he glanced at Muya.
"Do you want us to wait for you?" Susan asked.
"Oh, no. Remember to save me a seat." Susan and the others nodded and left.
Muya walked into Lockhart's office and saw that it was filled with things related to himself. She was speechless.
He really is narcissistic, Muya grumbled inwardly.
"Professor, what did you want to see me about?" Muya fixed her gaze on Lockhart in front of her.
Lockhart held up Muya's paper with a pained expression. "Miss Mya Mu, you haven't read my books, have you?"
Muya nodded.
Muya looked at her paper. Very impressive—zero points.
Lockhart didn't make things difficult for her and let her leave afterward.
"Look who we've found."
"It's Mya Mu."
Muya, who was out wandering at night, was startled by the twins. "Shh, keep your voices down."
Only then did they notice the little box Muya was carrying.
"Oh, Little Badger, where are you heading?"
"Need your big brothers to keep you company?" Fred rubbed Muya's head while George rubbed her cheek.
"Yes."
The three arrived at the Room of Requirement. "Little Badger, what kind of alchemical item are you making?" Fred sat down on the sofa first, then patted the seat beside him while looking at Muya.
The spot he had just patted was immediately occupied by George.
"I don't need to sit for now." Muya rummaged through some Alchemy Materials she had brought from home. "I'm planning to make a substitute doll."
Muya looked at the two of them. "A doll you can use to test prank items."
That immediately caught their interest.
The three began dividing up the work. Only Muya could understand the blueprint she had drawn, so she guided the twins in placing the right materials in the right positions.
In the end, the three completed half of it altogether. Muya decided to finish the remaining half by herself.
