Became good friends with the Boy Who Lived

After treating the wound on Ron's hand caused by a rat bite, several people went to the restaurant.

There were four long tables in the restaurant representing the four colleges. Three of them were moved to the wall, leaving only the long table of Gryffindor College in its original position. Professors of various subjects, even Professor Dumbledore, were enjoying breakfast at the Gryffindor table.

When Aris, Harry and the other three arrived at the door of the restaurant, they saw Professor Dumbledore handing a Christmas trick firework to Professor Snape.

Professor Snape reluctantly pulled the fuse of the firework, and with a "bang", the firework turned into a tall wizard's hat with a stuffed vulture as decoration on it.

Professor Snape was annoyed and stuffed the wizard hat to Professor Dumbledore. Professor Dumbledore smiled, took off his original hat, and put on the magic hat on his head.

"Good morning, children," Professor Dumbledore said gently when he saw Aerys and the other four coming to the restaurant. "Since there are only a few of us dining, I don't think we need to use so many tables. Come and sit wherever you want."

There were not only professors at the table, but also two Gryffindor first-year students, both of whom looked a little nervous, and a Slytherin student with a stern face.

"I don't mean to disturb your mood during dinner, professors," Aries came to the table and said to the professors, "but this matter is really important!"

After saying that, Aeris exhaled a mist from his mouth, and a picture appeared in the mist, which was the picture when Banban turned into the short man.

"Ron has a pet mouse," Aeris explained, "but this mouse is an Animagus. This person's identity and purpose are unknown, but he has been lurking in the Weasley family for more than ten years..."

"Okay, Aeris," Professor Dumbledore waved his hand to disperse the mist and said solemnly, "I know about this matter. When did you find out?"

"This morning," said Aeris, "Hermione's cat, Crookshanks, was chasing the mouse. I accidentally used Legilimency to read Crookshanks' thoughts, and then used a spell to force the mouse to reveal its true form."

"You are not hurt, are you?" Professor McGonagall asked in a trembling and slightly nervous voice. Her usually serious expression was now full of disbelief.

Aris said: "Except for Ron's finger being bitten by a rat, the rest of us were not injured. The man was very panicked and seemed to just want to escape."

"Then Mr. Grindelwald, can you explain," Professor Snape said, "why did you so easily believe a cat's idea and act decisively?"

Aeris was silent for a while. Facing the professors' inquiring eyes, Aeris said, "I can't explain it clearly. After taking the divination class this year, some pictures and fragments often appear in my mind. I am sure that these are not my memories, but they are so real, as if they will definitely happen..."

Aris took a deep breath and continued, "I saw a picture before. Ron's pet mouse turned into a man. In the middle of the night, he stood beside Ron's bed with a sharp knife."

Everyone looked at Ron, who looked terrified and had an extremely ugly expression.

The originally relaxed dining atmosphere has now become a bit solemn. Everyone is chewing their food in silence, and the initial ease and joy are gone.

Professor Trelawney walked over leisurely, and only Professor Dumbledore greeted her. Professor Trelawney talked about some things like fate and numerology, but no one paid any attention to her.

Until Aeris, Harry, and Ron, who had finished their meal in silence, stood up, Professor Trelawney screamed, "Which of you three stood up first?"

"Don't worry, Professor," said Aeris. "I don't think anyone is waiting for us outside the restaurant with a knife, Hermione? Not coming along?"

"Um...um..." Hermione stammered, "I still have...something...to say...to Professor McGonagall..."

After giving Hermione a suspicious look, Aeris followed Harry and Ron back to Gryffindor Tower.

In order to make Ron's bad mood better, Harry suggested going to the Quidditch field to fly a few laps, and Harry also let Ron hold his new Firebolt.

Ron was indeed a little happier. They planned to go out and play after Hermione came back. After a while, Hermione came back, followed by Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, and Professor Snape...

After Professor Snape entered the common room, he looked at every corner with a sinister look; Professor Flitwick began to search everywhere; Professor McGonagall came up to the few people.

Hermione's face was pink. She hid herself behind a book and pretended to read, but she was clearly holding the book upside down.

"Mr. Potter," Professor McGonagall said seriously, "We suspect that the Firebolt you received may be cursed. When you fly with it, there may be unknown dangers. For your safety, we need to check it carefully. Please hand it over to me, Mr. Weasley."

Ron hid the Firebolt behind him. "Impossible, Professor McGonagall, this is absolutely impossible," Ron said excitedly. "What kind of person would curse such a precious broom..."

"It could be Sirius," said Professor Snape coldly, "or it could be someone else who is still loyal to the Dark Lord. We are not discussing with you handing over the broom to Professor McGonagall."

Harry's face turned very ugly. Ron reluctantly handed the Firebolt to Professor McGonagall. Professor McGonagall continued, "Professor Dumbledore, let's search Gryffindor Tower carefully. You can stay in the common room or go somewhere else, such as the library, the hall, or an empty classroom... You are allowed to use magic to keep warm."

Professor McGonagall took the Firebolt and left. Harry and Ron looked at Hermione angrily. After Hermione put down the book, she said unnaturally: "I'm doing this for your own good. What if you fall from the sky?"

At Aris' suggestion, several people went to the "DA Cabin", so that they spent most of their Christmas vacation in the "DA Cabin".

"I found a Boggart," Aris said. "We can imagine that we are afraid of Dementors. I think this will help us practice the Patronus Charm better."

Aes cast a constant temperature magic in the "DA Hut" and lit a bonfire, which made the "DA Hut" very peaceful.

Aris placed a large wooden box in front of Harry, Hermione and Ron. He patted the box, and it shook violently for a while, as if it was very reluctant to be disturbed.

"Who will go first?" said Aeris.

"Let me go first!" said Hermione.

The others stood further away. Aeris pointed his wand at the box from a distance, and the bolts on the lid opened one by one. After the lid was popped open, the Boggart-turned-Dementor rushed out and slid towards Hermione.

Hermione seemed a little scared, but she didn't panic. She pointed her wand at the Dementor that the Boggart had turned into, and said loudly: "Expediate Patronus~"

A beautiful silver otter rushed out, gracefully smoothed the fur on its chest, and then pounced on the Boggart-turned-Dementor.

The Boggart-turned-Dementor stumbled back and quickly hid in the wooden box. Aeris quickly closed the lid to prevent Hermione's Patronus from really killing the Boggart.

Aeris handed Hermione a chocolate cauldron. "You did it," Aeris said happily. "Congratulations, Miss Otter!"

Hermione glared at Aeris in annoyance, took a big bite of the chocolate cauldron, and mumbled while chewing, "Stop calling me names all the time..."

Harry and Ron also came over to congratulate Hermione. The four of them made a fuss for a while, and then Aris said, "Who's next?"

Ron said hesitantly: "How about... I do it..."

"Then you go first!" Harry said, and quickly retreated to a distance. Ron glared at Harry and took out his wand and prepared it.

Aeris opened the wooden box from a distance, and the Dementor transformed from a Boggart rushed out and approached Ron. Ron's face turned pale in an instant, and he chanted a spell tremblingly: "Hoo...Hoo...Hoo God...Guardian..."

The tip of Ron's wand only emitted a burst of silver smoke without taking any shape. The smoke only prevented the Dementor, who had been transformed from a Boggart, from getting close, but could not repel it.

"So funny~" Seeing that Ron could not hold on any longer, Aries quickly took action and the Boggart turned into the image of Santa Claus, especially the thick white beard on the chin, which made people want to laugh.

With a wave of his wand, Aeris dropped the Boggart back into the box and closed the lid.

Aeris handed Ron a chocolate frog. Ron tore open the package and swallowed it in one gulp. After chewing it a few times and swallowing it, his face looked better.

"Harry, it's your turn." Aeris said, and Harry nodded and stood in front of the wooden box, looking a little nervous.

"You can do this, Harry!" Ron shouted. "We've been practicing for days!"

Harry did not respond, but stared at the wooden box. Aris, who was standing not far away, pointed his wand at the wooden box. The lid of the wooden box opened, and the Boggart-turned-Dementor rushed out for the third time.

"Expedience Patronus~" Harry shouted. The silver mist was thicker than Ron's, but it still did not take shape. Harry resisted for a long time. Every time Aeris wanted to help, Harry always shook his head at him.

Finally, Harry fainted. Archie melted some chocolate and forced it into Harry's mouth. Hermione and Ron surrounded Harry anxiously.

After a while, Harry woke up with a painful look on his face. He said in a hoarse voice: "I heard my mother's voice again. She kept begging for me, asking... Voldemort not to kill me..."

"Oh...Harry..." Hermione said a lot of words to comfort Harry, but Aris was not sure if Harry was listening.

"I want to try again!" Harry struggled to stand up and swallowed the chocolate that Aries handed to him.

Several people stopped trying to persuade him, and when the Boggart-turned-Dementor pounced on Harry again, the fog created by Harry's Patronus Charm was thicker, and he could hold out longer than last time.

Needless to say, Harry fell into a coma again. When Harry woke up, a line of tears flowed down his cheeks. He said painfully: "Great, this time I heard my father's voice..."

Edwards was about to end today's practice, but Harry said stubbornly: "Let me try again, Edwards, let me try again, one last time..." Edwards felt that there was some anger in Harry's tone.

This was the Boggart-turned-Dementor, rushing out for the last time, literally, and as Harry chanted the spell "Expedience Patronus", thick silver mist solidified into two animals: a majestic stag and a graceful doe.

As Aeris stared in amazement, the two deer tore the Boggart-turned-Dementor into pieces as if to vent their anger.

When Edwards handed Harry a large chocolate crucible, Harry smiled shyly at Edwards's resentful eyes, walked to the campfire, sat down, and began to eat the chocolate crucible with concentration.
