Became good friends with the Boy Who Lived

It was breakfast time. Eric did not come to share Aris' breakfast today, but when the messengers came, four owls dragged a long package and flew towards Aris and Harry.

They placed the package in front of Harry, one of the owls dropped a letter into Harry's hand, and the four owls flapped their wings and flew away, one of which spilled Neville's pumpkin juice.

Harry opened that letter first, and was glad he did so, for it read:

Do not open the package.

Inside is your new broom. This is a special case within a special case. I don't want many students to know about this in case they all want it. Go to the Quidditch pitch at 7 o'clock this evening. Captain Oliver Wood will coach you for your first Quidditch training.

Professor Minerva McGonagall

While chewing his bread, Aries looked over and read the contents of the letter. "Very good!" Aries said, "It seems that Professor McGonagall has high hopes for you."

Ron also read the contents of the letter and could not hide his excitement, as if he was the one who was going to get a new broom.

"Come on, Harry!" Ron said, "Find an empty classroom before the first class and see what kind of broom it is." Harry stood up, looked at Aris and asked, "Want to join us, Aris?"

Aries swallowed the last of his breakfast and stood up. Hermione, who had been silent during breakfast, also stood up.

After the four of them left the restaurant, they were stopped by Crabbe and Goyle. Draco snatched the package from Harry's hand. Aeris said helplessly, "Draco, can't you just talk properly?"

Draco touched the package and threw it back to Harry, unable to hide his jealousy and resentment: "It's a broom, you're done Potter, first years are not allowed to bring brooms."

Ron was about to say something when a shrill voice rang out: "Kids, I hope you're not arguing!" The short Professor Flitwick walked over.

Draco immediately reported: "Professor, Potter brought a broom."

"Calm down, Mr. Malfoy!" said Professor Flitwick. "Professor McGonagall has already told the other professors. I'm optimistic about you, Mr. Potter. James will be proud of you."

Under Draco's resentful gaze, Aeris and Harry and their group walked away, especially Ron, who had a smug expression on his face.

They found an empty classroom, and Harry and Ron couldn't wait to open the package. Ron covered his chest in surprise, as if he was greatly shocked.

"Nimbly...Nimbly...Nimbly two thousand!" Ron stammered. He looked at Harry enviously. Harry was also stroking his broom gently, and it was obvious that he was also very excited.

An inopportune voice sounded: "I advise you not to take it as a reward for violating school rules." Hermione beside Aris said faintly.

Harry said without a care in the world, "I thought you were going to ignore us for a while!"

Ron said sarcastically: "It's better to talk less to us. You are not a professor. Why do you always lecture us?"

Aries tried to smooth things over, "Don't be like that, Ron. Miss Know-It-All means well."

"Shut up, Grindelwald," Hermione said, a little annoyed. She glared at Aerys and said, "You are a bad guy too!"

Aeris couldn't help but sneered and said, "This is a serious accusation, Miss Know-it-all. I have been very well-behaved since I entered school. I will not allow you to insult my reputation."

Hermione snorted heavily, held her head high and left the classroom like a proud little swan.

Harry and Ron went back to the dormitory again, put away the Nimbus 2000, and then hurried to the classroom. They were almost late. Noticing that Harry was absent-minded in class, Aries could not help but shook his head.

After class, Aeris stopped Harry and Ron who were about to run to the dormitory, cast some calming spells on them, and said helplessly: "Don't do this, the two of you. If no one is controlling it, the Nimbus 2000 will not fly away on its own."

Harry and Ron both looked a little embarrassed, but they behaved well during the rest of the class.

It was finally evening. Harry ate a few mouthfuls of food in a hurry, said hello to Aries, and rushed to the dormitory with Ron. Aries rolled his eyes and began to enjoy his dinner slowly.

"You don't behave like them." Hermione sat next to Aeris and said slowly.

"What? You're not losing your temper anymore?" Aeris asked slowly.

"What they did will only get them into trouble," Hermione was still a little angry, "Why should I make myself angry over their mistakes?"

"I'm similar," Aris said. "Even if they are good friends, I can't understand their enthusiasm for Quidditch. I prefer magic to riding a broom in the sky. For example, Professor Dumbledore can definitely fly in the sky without the help of a broom. I don't need to cater to other people's hobbies, even if that person is a good friend."

Hermione nodded thoughtfully. After dinner, Aries went for a stroll around the Quidditch field and Hermione followed. They found Ron at the edge of the field. Hermione and Ron glared at each other and turned their heads away.

Aris saw the captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team, Oliver Wood, instructing Harry on the rules of Quidditch and conducting preliminary training as a seeker.
