Became good friends with the Boy Who Lived

On Christmas Eve, Eric asked Eric to take Christmas greetings home, and after attending a dinner with the classmates who stayed at school, he fell asleep on his four-poster bed.

Early in the morning on Christmas Day, Aries was awakened by Harry's noisy voice. He opened his eyes drowsily and noticed a pile of Christmas presents under his bed.

"I told my dad not to send me Christmas presents!" Aris muttered to himself, lying back on the bed, ready to sleep for a few more minutes.

The curtains on the bedposts were torn open, and Aires was pulled up from the left and right. Helplessly, Aires had to "turn on" forcefully.

Aris saw a big red gift bag on the top of the pile of gifts. He took the gift bag and noticed that Ron looked a little embarrassed.

"Are you sick? Ron," Aris asked. Ron touched his nose and did not answer. Aris opened the gift package. He was a little confused about who gave him this gift.

When a red sweater appeared in front of Aries, he was a little confused. The letters "A" and "G" were woven on the chest of the sweater with yellow wool.

Aeris looked at Ron, whose ears had turned red. He was already wearing a sweater of the same style with the letter "R" on the chest.

"My mother knitted it..." Before Ron could finish, Edwards put on the sweater and said, "Thank Mrs. Weasley for me. I like it very much."

Aris picked out a large box of cookies baked by Selina from his pile of gifts, handed it to Ron and said, "Try it, my mother baked it herself."

Harry was also opening his Christmas presents, and took out another Mrs. Weasley brand sweater with a big "H" knitted on the chest with green wool.

Ron's face became even more embarrassed. Harry quickly put on the sweater and said that he liked it very much. Aries handed a box of donuts to Harry and said, "My mother's craftsmanship, try it!"

Most of Aris's gifts were Selina's handmade snacks. Harry had only a few gifts. Hagrid gave him a handmade flute and a fifty-pence coin.

Noticing that Ron was staring at the coin with shining eyes, Harry threw the coin to Ron. Ron caught the coin with great joy, muttering to himself: "Muggle coins are really magical, such wonderful patterns... wow..."

Eris also took out a flute of the same model as Harry's gift flute, which should have been given by Hagrid. It sounded like an owl hooting when it was played. Eris played "A Christmas Carol" as if no one was around.

The bedroom door was pushed open and two identical people walked in. They were the Weasley twins, and they were also wearing Weasley sweaters.

Fred: "Ah! I hear the owls singing for Christmas."

He seemed to be performing an opera.

George said the same thing: "Look! Our savior and the next Dark Lord also received a Weasley sweater."

Fred: "What should we do? George, our little Ronnie is going to be scared and cry again!"

George patted Ron's shoulder worriedly and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, Ronnie. We Gryffindors are fearless!"

Ron's face turned red with anger. He gritted his teeth and growled, "Have you two had enough of this?"

The door was pushed open again, and Percy said sleepily, "Is anyone rehearsing the opera? It's the holidays, but can't you be quiet?" He also held a Weasley sweater in his hand.

Fred stepped in front of Percy and asked, "Percy, why don't you put on your sweater?"

Percy felt a headache watching his sometimes crazy brother. Just as he was about to say something, George came over and said, "Maybe our prefect is too busy with work and hasn't learned how to wear a sweater yet. Fred, let's help him."

The two of them grabbed the sweater without saying a word and put it on Percy. Percy, whose arms were restrained, screamed and was carried out by the twins.

"What on earth are these two clowns doing here?" Ron muttered to himself.

"Harry, you seem to have another gift," said Aris, chewing a cookie.

Harry also noticed the package. He opened it and found a cloak that looked like mercury. After the package was opened, it slid to the ground like a pool of clear water.

Harry picked up the cloak and found a note inside. Aries took a look and found the handwriting written with circles and hooks was strange but extremely beautiful.

Harry read: "Your father left it to me, I think it's time to give it back to you and make good use of it."

"Who gave it to you?" Ron asked.

Harry shook his head and said, "I don't know. It just says: 'Make good use of it'."

"Put it on and see," said Aeris.

Harry put on the cloak, Aeris narrowed his eyes, and Ron beside him opened his mouth.

Now Harry's head was left floating in the air. Ron shouted, "It's a shadow cloak!"

"Am I invisible?" Harry asked in disbelief. He came to the floor-length mirror in the bedroom and widened his eyes in surprise.

"This thing is very rare." Ron said with some envy. Aries said: "Looking at the meaning of the note, this is a relic of Harry's father."

Harry stroked the cloak, and Aris could see that Harry really loved it, and was very happy to have something from his father.

The day passed quickly, and Aris felt that he had not had enough fun yet, and night fell. In the common room, Fred and George tossed Percy's prefect badge to each other. Percy was so angry that his face turned red and he was running around in a panic.

The first day of Christmas ended with the Weasley brothers playing and fighting. Aris lay down on his bed and fell asleep quickly.

"Arris! Arris! Wake up! Wake up!" Arris was pulled up from his bed. He opened his eyes drowsily and saw Harry with an excited look on his face and Ron with a confused look on his face.

Edwards looked out the window subconsciously. The night was as dark as ink. Edwards yawned subconsciously: "Harry, what happened? Although there are no classes tomorrow, you won't grow taller if you don't sleep well."

"You must come with me and see! I saw my parents and my family in a mirror..." Harry said excitedly, and pulled Edwards off the bed without saying a word. Edwards quickly put on his Weasley sweater outside.

The Invisibility Cloak covered the three boys. Harry led the other two around the corridors of the castle. Aeris heard Harry mumbling to himself in a somewhat frantic manner: "It's nearby... it's nearby... it must be nearby... it's this door..."

Harry pushed the door open with two people, closed the door again, pulled off the invisibility cloak and threw it aside, while Ron smacked his lips beside him.

This is an abandoned classroom. The desks and chairs have been gathered against the wall. In the middle of the classroom stands a huge mirror. The mirror is simple and elegant, with four claw-like legs holding it upright steadily. The intricate magic patterns on the frame make people feel dizzy at a glance. The height of the mirror seems to almost reach the ceiling.

Harry walked to the mirror and stared at it in fascination without blinking. "Come here, you two. Can you also see my parents and my family?"

Ron said worriedly, "I can only see the three of us..." Aeris also nodded.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Ron, you stand here!" Harry said, reluctantly giving Ron the front of the mirror.

Ron stared at the mirror in confusion for a while, and his face gradually showed an obsessed look. He murmured to himself: "I became a prefect; I also became the president of the student union; I held the Quidditch trophy; Merlin, I also became the Minister of Magic, I am so handsome! Harry, can this mirror predict the future?"

Harry pulled Ron aside, "Eris, come here..." Harry said nervously, "Can you see my parents..." His tone was like a drowning man grasping at the last straw.

Aris stood in front of the mirror suspiciously. In the mirror, he was wearing pajamas and pajama pants with a red sweater on the outside, and his expression was confused.

This minute seemed particularly long. Archer looked at Ron, then at Harry, and said helplessly, "Harry, you brought us here in the middle of the night just to look in the mirror? Are you two crazy, or am I crazy? Why can't I see anything? I can only see myself..."

Aeris caught a glimpse of the corner of the classroom from the corner of his eye. A gentle smiling face with silver hair and silver beard emerged in the shadows. Professor Dumbledore, dressed in a sky blue robe, sat on an old desk, his legs dangling, and his azure eyes blinked mischievously under his half-moon glasses.

Aeris' expression froze on his face. He smiled awkwardly but politely, waved towards the corner and said hello: "Good evening, Professor Dumbledore. We just want to explore this charming castle. It's still vacation time, so we shouldn't have violated school rules. At least you can't deduct Gryffindor's points..."

Harry and Ron also looked towards that corner. Ron shuddered noticeably and Harry scratched his head sheepishly.

Professor Dumbledore nimbly jumped off the desk with his arms supporting his body, and walked towards the boys, saying, "Eris, your language proficiency is no less than that of young Geralt. Don't worry, as you said, it's vacation time now."

Professor Dumbledore stopped in front of the mirror and looked at it with the boys. He asked slowly, "Harry, Ron, have you discovered the fun of the Mirror of Erised like everyone else before you?"

Noticing Harry and Ron's confused expressions, Professor Dumbledore continued, "Let me explain. For people who think they are the happiest in the world, like Aries, this mirror is just an ordinary mirror to them. Do you understand what I mean, Harry?"

Harry pondered, "So this mirror can reflect our inner desires?"

"Yes and no," said Professor Dumbledore. "This mirror reflects your regrets, your expectations, and the things you want but cannot get."

Professor Dumbledore stared at the mirror for a while, then continued, "You have never experienced the beauty of family, so you see four generations of the Potter family living together, while Ron sees that he is the best among his brothers." Ron scratched his head awkwardly.

Professor Dumbledore looked at Aris approvingly and said, "But this mirror cannot teach us knowledge, tell us the truth, or show us the true secrets of magic. Countless people have wasted their time in front of it, and even gone crazy for those illusory things in the mirror that are within reach. This mirror will be moved to another place tomorrow, so please don't try to find it. If you encounter it in a corner of the castle by chance, you will need to worry about yourself. Well, put on your magical invisibility cloak and go back to the dormitory to sleep."
