The next evening, Muya spent another three hours finishing the dolls, making two copies, for a total of three, one for each member of the prank squad.

She quickly handed them over to Fred and George.

The next morning, as soon as the sun rose, Muya received a letter from Hagrid saying that the fruits and vegetables she had planted were all grown and she should come and pick them when she had time.

Muya woke up and felt that today was a good day, and she had plenty of free time.

However, she would need a few helpers, so she decided to pull in all her friends who were free.

She first shouted in the dormitory, "Everyone, are you free today? There's a physical task waiting for us, are you going?"

She didn't know until she asked, and she was shocked. She hadn't expected everyone to be free. Harry and Malfoy said they weren't free in the afternoon, but that was okay, with so many people, they wouldn't be missed.

Muya arrived at the vegetable garden first and then used the Copying Charm she learned from Snape during the summer to duplicate the baskets in her hands into more than a dozen.

"Waiting for us?"

"I think so."

"Don't you think so, Ya Ya!" The Weasley twins had somehow heard this intimate name, but Muya let them call her that.

"Yes, one for each of you."

Behind them, a large group was approaching.

"Oh, Ya Mu actually called so many people over!" Draco pouted and glared at the Harry trio next to him.

"Malfoy, with your scrawny body, you probably can't even carry one basket!" Ron retorted to Malfoy without any politeness.

Harry laughed openly next to him.

Draco's face turned red with anger, and just as he was about to mock Ron further, Cedric behind them spoke up, "I don't think Ya Ya would want to see her friends arguing in front of her."

"Yeah, at least be nice in front of Ya Ya," Sean agreed, patting Cedric's shoulder.

"What? You call her Ya Ya?!" Many people were triggered.

Except for a few who had recently started calling Muya "Ya Ya," everyone else looked at Muya with resentment. Unfortunately, Muya was bewildered, what had she done?

"What's wrong with you all?" Muya floated each basket in front of everyone.

"You actually let them call you Ya Ya, I've never even called you that!" Muya didn't understand why Draco was always so easily triggered.

"Then you can all just call me Ya Ya." It was such a simple matter, and Muya didn't think too much about it.

Cho Chang stepped forward, holding a basket, and brushed a leaf from Muya's hair, smiling gently, "Okay, Ya Ya."

Theodore walked to the entrance of the vegetable garden, "Where do we start?"

"Ah! Let's start with the fruits first." Muya turned around and rubbed her face. Damn, she had been mesmerized by the beautiful older sister just now.

"Great!"

"Then let's go!"

The Weasley twins reached out to pull Muya in to pick strawberries, but their hands grasped empty air. Looking back, Muya had been pulled away by Vester.

"Everyone, if you want to eat something, you can wash it and eat it directly."

Draco meticulously picked the prettiest strawberries, and inadvertently saw Ron on the other side holding a large strawberry and eating it with a look of disgust.

"Ya Ya, why are these fruits and vegetables so big?" Hermione, who had read countless books, looked at the unusually large produce and couldn't help but ask Muya.

Muya was also surprised. She had thought it was because the soil near the Forbidden Forest was better, but she didn't expect it to be because the seeds were all infused with magic.

For example, the jasmine Muya planted at Snape's house had actually bloomed a few days before school started.

In the end, Snape discovered her secretly using his cauldron to plant flowers, and she was punished to help him process potion ingredients for a week.

"Actually, it's because of my magic seeds." Seeing Hermione's keen interest, she took out a few seeds for her.

Suddenly, Harry's voice came from the carrot patch, "Ron, those are carrot leaves, don't put them in the basket!"

"Ouch!" On the cucumber vine, Draco couldn't pull the cucumber and fell on his backside.

"Oh, Draco!" Muya exclaimed and rushed to Draco's side, pulling him up.

Seeing Draco burying his head, Muya thought he was injured, "Where are you hurt? Does it hurt?"

"It's fine," Draco said softly.

He was embarrassed!

Muya nodded and then used Scourgify to clean the mud off his pants.

Cho Chang put down her basket and walked over to ask, "How is it?"

"Oh, heavens, how careless." Fred and George's exaggerated acting made Muya hold her forehead. She quickly told them, the tall ones, to go pick grapes.

"I'm fine," Draco patted Muya's hand, signaling her to let go.

Muya stroked Draco's hair and coaxed him, "Don't push yourself too hard, Draco."

She handed Draco a pair of scissors, demonstrated once, and then pulled Cho Chang over to Harry and the others.

Over here, half the radish leaves had been plucked off, and Theodore, Ron, and Harry stood helplessly in place.

"Hmm... two people grab the leaves of one radish and pull it up slowly, and I'll dig out the ones without leaves." Harry and the others nodded. Theodore pursed his lips but didn't refuse.

Hermione was almost done, as were the tall ones like Cedric.

After Muya finished pulling radishes, she washed them all, then went to help Draco.

They finished in just one morning.

Finally, everyone had a basket in hand. They used the Levitation Charm to have the extra ones follow behind them.

Muya had them each keep some, then transported the surplus to the kitchen. The house-elves were delighted to see them and swirled around Muya.

Muya: Hehe.

After lunch, Muya was taking a solitary stroll to digest her food when a sudden argument broke out.

"I've booked the pitch for today!"

Muya: That sounds familiar, like I've heard it somewhere before.

"Flint, this is our training time, please get out!"

Flint? He must be that Slytherin Quidditch captain.

"There's plenty of space here, Wood."

Wood is the Gryffindor Quidditch captain. Why are they arguing?

Muya turned her head and saw that she had wandered over to the pitch.

Are Gryffindor and Slytherin fighting over the field now?

Muya decided to take a look. She sidled over and stood next to Hermione, whispering, "Hi, Hermione, Ron."

"Hi, Ya Ya," they both said at the same time.

Muya saw that behind a group of tall figures stood a boy with platinum hair.

"Oh, Draco." Muya took a few steps forward and saw the boy was Draco. She smiled and silently greeted him.

She saw Draco nod at her.

"But I have a note personally signed by Professor Snape."
