Mudblood

Mia had always been a woman of action. The night before, she had said she was going to train Fluffy, and as soon as she got back, she looked up what three-headed dogs liked to eat. The next evening, she packed some pastries from the dinner table for a nighttime outing.

Mia had a packed schedule. Apart from classes with both houses and mealtimes, Harry hardly ever saw his sister. He had never been apart from her for so long.

Harry: Sis, are you coming home for dinner?

Mia: Big brother, I'm setting sail.

The fourth floor

"Pss, pss, pss, look here, doggy. Want some?" Mia stood in front of Fluffy, holding a treat. The pastries had a Warming Charm on them and were still hot.

The sweet aroma of the pastries made Fluffy's mouth water.

"Pss, pss, pss, come here." Seeing that it was working, Mia tried calling Fluffy over.

"Woof!"

I want to eat it, let me over there! One of Fluffy's heads couldn't stand it anymore. Shut up in here every day, he couldn't eat well or go out and play. A kid had finally shown up, and he wanted to go over. He had to answer the call in his DNA.

Stop, you idiot. Gulp. We have a job to do. We can't give in to temptation. Another head swallowed and looked away. Damn it, how could anything smell so good?

"Awoo!" The third head gave in at once. He was just a dog. What was wrong with a dog being greedy? Besides, the little girl didn't look like a bad person to him.

"Slow down, slow down. Since you've eaten my food, I suppose you won't mind if I pet you?" Watching Fluffy lying in front of her and wolfing down the food, Mia revealed her true purpose.

Without waiting to see whether Fluffy agreed, Mia got right to it. She was very good with little animals, and her practiced dog-petting skills soon had Fluffy so comfortable that he rolled over and showed his belly.

Wh-what kind of move is this? Fluffy was lost in the bliss.

"Good boy, good boy. You're such a good doggy."

"Awoo~"

Mia played with Fluffy for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, she had to go back.

Fluffy reluctantly held on to Mia's robe in his teeth.

Fluffy: Human, will you come again?

"Be good. I'll come see you again next time and bring you some treats."

"Awoo."

"Really, I'm not lying!"

Only after Mia had promised him again and again was Fluffy willing to let go.

After Mia came out, she looked at her soaking wet robe. She would wash it when she got back.

There were no classes the next day, so Mia got up a little later.

She came out of the dormitory planning to read for a while in the common room. Someone was sitting in her usual spot today: Theodore.

Noticing her arrival, Theodore looked up from his book and met Mia's eyes.

"Morning, Nott."

"Morning."

After greeting each other, they went about their own business. Theodore was reading a Potions book, while Mia leafed through an upper-year textbook.

There weren't many people in the common room at this hour. It was quiet, with only the crackling of the fireplace in front of them and the sound of pages turning.

"That damned Potter. Draco pays so much attention to her!"

The peaceful atmosphere was broken, and Theodore and Mia frowned at the same time.

Since the two of them were sitting somewhat out of the way, the newcomers might not have noticed that the subject of their conversation was right there.

"Hmph, she's really stolen the spotlight lately. I don't know why Professor Snape thinks so highly of her!"

Since the start of term, Mia had often been awarded points for her excellent performance, and her outstanding looks had made her especially famous at Hogwarts.

Mia had received quite a few love letters, but her brother Harry had confiscated them all.

"Ha, she's just the Chosen One's sister. What does she have besides that title? Draco could never be with someone who doesn't even have a powerful family!"

"Exactly. She's just a half-breed."

That was a bit much. Theodore looked displeased.

"Wasn't her mum a Mudblood too?"

Mia's expression turned cold. She wasn't one to take insults lying down. She drew her wand and stepped out from behind the sofa.

"What are you talking about? Why don't you let me hear it too?"

Pansy and Daphne felt a little guilty when the person they were talking about appeared, but their little followers were quite indignant.

"We're talking about you, half-breed. Ah!" The girl covered her front teeth and screamed.

"Go on." Mia looked at the group nonchalantly. Pansy and Daphne were at the front, with several upper-year students behind them.

"Do you want a fight, Potter?" Pansy and the others pulled out their wands and pointed them at Mia.

"Have you heard the saying? The one who starts it is the bastard." Mia examined her wand. As if sensing her anger, it seemed a little excited.

"You-Densaugeo!" "Pimple Jinx!" "Expelliarmus!" "..." As soon as Mia said that, they all attacked.

"Protego, Expelliarmus, Petrificus Totalus." Mia cast three spells in succession, unhurried.

No one present could believe that a first-year student had defeated so many wizards so easily, including upper-year students.

Petrified and unable to move, they watched Mia take out a potion she had made herself.

"I remember a saying. What was it again? Something about people who gossip having their mouths rot? Don't you love talking behind people's backs? How about you test this potion for me?"

They looked terrified, their eyes full of pleading.

Seeing that things were going badly, someone hurried off to fetch the head of house.

"Head of house, there's trouble! Potter's having an unauthorized magic duel in the common room!"

"Who did you say?" Snape, who had been a little annoyed, sprang to his feet when he heard who it was.

"M-Mia Potter..."

"What happened?" Snape hurried toward the common room, worried that Mia might be hurt.

"I-it was that Potter. She attacked first."

"Sir, I believe you should know that your old professor does not wish to hear anyone lie." Snape stopped and stared at the boy, seeing the guilty look on his face.

Snape had no time to bother with him and hurried to Mia.

Fortunately, the office wasn't far from the dormitory. When Snape arrived, he saw Mia forcing a potion down Pansy and the others' throats.

"Sir, ladies, would you care to explain to your poor professor what is going on?"

Snape's voice sounded like music from heaven, and Pansy and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss Parkinson, you tell me." Snape lifted the binding spells on them, and Pansy hurried to complain.

"Professor, it was all Potter. She suddenly attacked us for no reason and tried to force a potion down our throats!"

"Is that so?" Snape stared fixedly at Pansy until she felt guilty.

"Miss Potter, explain yourself."

"Yes, Professor. Parkinson and the others called me and my family Mudbloods first. I couldn't hold back, so I attacked." Seeing that the matter had reached Snape, Mia regretted acting on impulse. You dared to tell on me. I'll deal with you later when no one's looking.

"Is that so, Miss Parkinson?" When Snape heard that word, his face darkened instantly.

"I wasn't wrong." Pansy didn't think she had done anything wrong at all.

"Very well. Everyone involved today, except Miss Potter, will have detention for six months and apologize to Miss Potter. In addition, Slytherin loses fifty points because of you." The thought of his beloved Lily and Mia being called Mudbloods filled Snape with anger.

"Professor!" They hadn't expected Snape, who always favored Slytherin, to take so many points from the house.

"That's not fair! She attacked us too!" Pansy's shrill voice made Mia's ears hurt.

"Idiot." Mia mocked Pansy, whose face was twisted with anger.

"Miss Parkinson, another month of detention."

"I!"

"Two months."

Pansy shut up.

"From now on, Miss Potter will come to my office for detention every evening." Snape intended to give the child some extra lessons. It was only thanks to Mia being strong enough that she was unharmed this time. If Mia had been hurt, Snape didn't dare imagine what he would have done.

"Yes, Professor."

The matter was considered settled, but after this battle, Mia became famous throughout the school once again, and she had begun to gain followers in Slytherin as well.
