Muya's First Product Promotion

"This is the skin nourishing cream I developed," Muya said, scooping out two dollops with her index finger and applying them to Fred and George's faces. "It keeps skin smooth and prevents acne."

"Oh, we can sell this to the girls, and to those annoying Slytherins too," the twins said. They rubbed the cream into their faces and then spoke in unison, "Ya Ya, look."

"Fred, your face has never been this smooth before."

"George, your face is as slippery as a slug's."

"Stop, stop, stop! Your faces are both too slippery," Muya said, pulling the twins apart. "Let's call it a day."

After they tidied everything up, the three of them carefully avoided Filch and Snape and safely returned to the common room.

"Want to buy a truancy prop, a fever candy?" Muya was promoting their wares with Fred and George.

"Only 5 Knuts per candy, a super deal!" The Weasley twins suddenly popped out from behind Muya, startling a group of little badgers.

"I'll take five fever candies."

"I'll take three. Do you have any other kinds?"

"Of course, we have many other products for you to choose from."

"I'll take one fever candy." A voice all three of them were familiar with came from the crowd. It was Ginny.

"Our dear sister, what are you doing here?" The Weasley twins, while dealing with the 'customers,' couldn't resist teasing Ginny.

After all, she didn't like the prank items they made when they were at home.

Muya gave Ginny a candy. She took it, left 5 Knuts, and quickly walked away.

"Why is she running so fast?"

"We weren't going to use it on you."

The twins clearly hadn't realized that Ginny had just bought a 'truancy candy' from them.

After selling their products, Muya gave each of the twins a nougat. "Do you think Ginny has been acting a bit strange lately?"

After popping the candies into their mouths, the twins exchanged a look and then shook their heads at Muya.

Muya put her hand to her forehead. How can they be so unreliable?

Recently, Muya had been participating less in the prank squad's activities because she was preparing birthday gifts for her two friends, Hermione and Cedric.

For Hermione, she made a snow globe with a little wizard resembling Hermione sitting on a tree stump, holding a thick book.

However, she hadn't decided on a gift for Cedric yet.

So, she went to find Sean and Vester.

"Does Cedric like anything in particular?" Sean adjusted his hair, resting his other hand on his chin in a thoughtful pose.

"Quidditch?" Vester looked up, popping a strawberry into his mouth.

Sean thought of something and chuckled, "Come on, Vester. Cedric isn't like Wood, who's obsessed with Quidditch."

Muya leaned her head on her hands, troubled. "Sigh, I can't just ask him directly, can I?"

Actually, I probably could.

Muya suddenly stood up. After saying goodbye to Sean and Vester, she went to find Cedric, who had just finished his training.

Some students were leaving the Quidditch pitch, but Muya couldn't see Cedric among them.

After waiting for a few minutes, Muya saw Cedric walking over with some items.

"Ya Ya." As soon as Cedric exited the pitch, he saw Muya.

Cedric ruffled Muya's hair. Muya grabbed his hand and pulled him in a certain direction. "Ced, I need to ask you something."

"What is it?" Cedric followed Muya with a smile, looking obedient, which reminded Muya of the gentle senior in novels.

"Actually, I wanted to ask what you like?" Muya looked earnestly into Cedric's eyes, full of anticipation.

Cedric's ears turned red from Muya's direct question. His Adam's apple bobbed as he uttered, "Probably Quidditch and... good food."

"Ya Ya... ouch!" Cedric unexpectedly closed his eyes, clutching his forehead as Muya flicked his forehead. It seemed to hurt.

Muya panicked a little. No, I didn't even use much force!

"Ced, does it hurt? I'm sorry, let me see, okay?" Her hand covered his.

Suddenly, he let go of his hand and chuckled softly. Muya cupped his face, but there wasn't even a small red mark on his forehead.

Muya looked at Cedric in disbelief. The nice guy from their house had just been pretending to be pitiful!

"I'll like whatever Ya Ya gives me." His gray eyes sparkled, his expression still gentle, yet somehow also a little cute.

Alright, in the end, Muya drew a picture for Cedric of him riding a broomstick, holding a Golden Snitch, and also a birthday cake.

Time entered October, and Muya was very happy. She hadn't been confined to detention once this semester so far.

Dumbledore was very happy because Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape didn't have time to lecture their honey-loving Headmaster.

The other professors were annoyed because with Lockhart around, they became even busier. He always got in their way, and even practical classes often ended in accidents.

The flu became more widespread as the temperature dropped, and the school infirmary was packed with students suffering from colds.

Madam Pomfrey was too busy to rest, and she was also worried about the dwindling supply of stamina potions.

Snape spent almost his entire day in the dungeons, constantly brewing potions, except for class time, which was why he was in such a foul mood recently.

Yesterday, he had even deducted 10 points from a Gryffindor student for running in the hallway.

What made Muya most speechless was that she was also deducted 3 points for greeting Snape.

"Miss Muya, do you think your professor has time to listen to you greeting him right now?"

He was simply going on a rampage, so she decided to volunteer to help Snape brew stamina potions.

Muya stood in front of Snape's office door and knocked. "Professor Snape, I think you might need some help."

As soon as she finished speaking, she was yanked inside. "Now, Miss Muya, for disturbing the professor while he was brewing potions, you are confined to detention for a week."

Alright, I still need to play along.

However, Muya was startled when she saw Snape's dark eye circles.

In the afternoon, Muya brought the freshly brewed stamina potion to the school hospital and told Madam Pomfrey that Snape didn't have time to come, so she brought it on his behalf.

"Oh, thank you so much, dear. I've been so busy lately." Madam Pomfrey was currently attending to a little wizard from Ravenclaw.

Muya smiled and replied, "You're welcome, Madam. You've been working hard."

Just then, Percy walked in with a sickly-looking Ginny. He nodded at Muya when he saw her there, then led Ginny towards Madam Pomfrey. "Madam, I need a stamina potion."
