"And also, we need to train our new Seeker," Flint's expression was provocative and boastful?

Muya understood why Flint was showing off when she saw seven little snakes each holding a brand-new broomstick.

The Nimbus 2001, released last month, flew faster than the Nimbus 2000 and looked dazzling.

Draco looked at Flint indifferently, displeased that Flint was using him to satisfy his base pride.

"Flint, shouldn't we be training?" He glanced at Flint, who was still showing off his new broom to Wood.

A dark glint flashed in Flint's eyes. He turned to touch Draco's shoulder but was dodged. Unfazed, he called his teammates to another area to train.

"Merlin's socks! He definitely only made the team because his father bought those brooms!" Ron said, watching Draco's retreating back.

Wood was also angry. The thought of them training with Slytherin made him furious, especially since Snape had approved it.

"Oh, Ron," Muya patted Ron's shoulder, signaling him to calm down.

"That guy is really awful," Fred said viciously, watching Flint's back.

"Utterly awful," George chimed in.

Muya smiled and patted their hands. "I agree."

The three exchanged glances and instantly understood that it was time to test out their newly developed prank props.

"What are you two smiling about? Start training immediately!" Wood smacked them both on the head, then shooed Hermione, Ron, and Muya to the stands.

After Ron sat down, he held up his accidentally broken wand. He took a look and was about to tuck it into his robe when his hand was stopped.

"Oh Ron, what happened to your wand? Is it still usable?"

Ron gave an awkward laugh and told Muya that his wand had broken after they were thrown off the Whomping Willow on the first day of school.

"He didn't dare tell his parents, so he tried to fix it himself," Hermione turned to Muya, pointing to the bandages wrapped around Ron's wand.

Ron sighed and nodded.

Muya withdrew her hand, lost in thought.

These past few days, Muya had often seen a first-year little lion chasing after Harry, calling himself Harry's fan and admiring him greatly. She wondered if this was a good thing.

The mirror in her bag suddenly reacted. Muya knew Calori was looking for her, as he had promised to bring her some flowers from the sea and lakes after school started.

After saying goodbye to Hermione and Ron, Muya took out the mirror in a secluded spot. "Hi Calori, I'm on my way to the Black Lake."

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

Muya quickly reached their usual spot but noticed that someone had been there recently, as there was a small wizard's footprint on the ground. That person must have been looking for a quiet place.

Ripples spread across the lake's surface. Calori was holding some small flowers. Muya opened her basket, and the two carefully placed the flowers inside.

When Muya looked up, she realized they were standing incredibly close. She could see Calori's long, light-colored eyelashes and his pale blue eyes, which reflected her image. The scales on his face shimmered.

"Are all mermen this good-looking?" Muya suddenly asked.

Calori smiled and slapped the lake surface with his tail, expressing his happiness. "Not all of them."

"Next time, I'll tell you my story next time," Calori suddenly whispered in Muya's ear, then returned to the lake.

Muya blinked and thought to herself, indeed, not every good-looking merman was like Calori, who was like a Beguiler.

"Crack!" A sound came from the grass to her right, like a book falling to the ground.

Before Muya could walk over, she saw a red-haired girl run past her, holding a book.

Hmm... it looks like Ginny, Muya thought.

Perhaps Ginny had accidentally overheard her conversation with Calori and had run off in embarrassment.

Muya shrugged, picked up her basket, and headed back to the castle.

As soon as she entered the castle, Muya walked a few steps and encountered Ginny again. Just as she was about to greet her, Ginny suddenly ran off.

Alright, she assumed Ginny must have someone important to meet, then returned to the common room to put down the basket.

She casually picked up three small prank props she had made with the Weasley twins. They were small balls that, when thrown at someone's head, would dye their hair for three days. Muya took red, green, and blue.

She then went to the Quidditch pitch. Slytherin and Gryffindor had just finished their training.

Muya waved the items from her hand in the stands towards the Weasley twins. The two flew towards her on their brooms. George directly scooped her onto his broom.

Muya swallowed and asked them to fly lower. She handed them the small balls, taking one for herself.

The three exchanged glances, then grinned wickedly as they approached Flint. The three balls hit the back of his head in quick succession before they swiftly flew away.

"Aargh! What was that?" Flint reached up to touch the back of his head, only to feel something watery. Looking at his hand, he saw red, green, and blue colors on his palm.

"Oho, super hit."

"Well done, Ya Ya!"

"Hehehe."

The three high-fived, celebrating the success of their first team prank.

Muya's legs felt a bit wobbly as she dismounted her broom. Thankfully, Hermione steadied her. "Thank you, Hermione."

Everyone except the Slytherin team members noticed their little stunt. Wood, in particular, clapped and laughed.

"Hey Flint, nice haircut!" he said, but the upward curve of his lips couldn't be suppressed.

Even some of the Slytherin team members started laughing at him. Flint, with a dark expression, grabbed the broomstick he had shown off not long ago and strode away.

Ron also thought the prank was excellent, especially since he was the target.

Harry came out after changing clothes and saw everyone laughing. He looked confused, and after Ron told him what had just happened, he joined in the laughter.

"How's the Fever Fudge coming along, Mr. Twins?" Muya entered the Room of Requirement again. They were planning to mass-produce some inventions they had already developed.

It was time to start marketing their products.

"Oh, don't worry, it's all here, our shareholder miss." The two snatched the parchment and quill from Muya's hand and checked off an item on the inventory list.

Muya finished counting and then smiled, ruffling the two red-haired dogs squatting in front of her.

"Oh, right, I've developed something new," Muya said, taking out a small, light blue bottle that looked a lot like a makeup container.
