Became good friends with the Boy Who Lived

The first thing Rufus Scrimgeour did after becoming Minister of Magic was to drop all the charges Fudge had brought against Aries, but Aries didn't really care about it.

After leaving Hogwarts, Aris first went to 93 Diagon Alley. Fred and George's Weasley Wizardry was very popular, and Aris worked as a clerk under the twins for a while until Hogwarts had its summer vacation.

Before going to pick up the car, Fred and George customized a black dragon leather jacket for Eric according to his own preferences. It had everything from clothes to pants to leather shoes. When worn, this jacket would keep one cool in summer and warm in winter. When Eric put it on, he paired it with a black top hat. Fred and George praised Eric for his elegance.

When they arrived at King's Cross Station, Aris, Fred and George attracted many people's attention. Only Mrs. Weasley rolled her eyes. She still could not accept the fact that her two sons and Aris did not graduate from Hogwarts.

"Ares!" Hermione ran towards Ares, not even caring about her luggage, and threw herself into Ares' arms. Ares also gently stroked her hair, which made Mr. Granger, who was dragging Hermione's luggage, fume and glare.

Aeris smiled at his companions. Many Hogwarts students greeted Aeris, and Aeris responded with a smile.

There were many people who came to pick up the car: Mad-Eye Moody, Remus Lupin, Nymphadora Tonks... and a black hound as big as a bear. To be precise, they were all here to pick up Harry.

In order to make Harry's summer vacation easier, several wizards led by Mad-Eye Moody threatened Mr. Dursley who came to pick up Harry. To be precise, it was not a threat, but they just said that they would increase the protection of Harry and therefore would appear in Privet Drive from time to time.

But this also scared the Dursleys enough. When Harry said goodbye to everyone, Edwards took the initiative to hug Harry, which made Harry feel a little uncomfortable. Although Edwards was one of his best buddies, Edwards' friendship had never been so passionate. Most of the time, it was...silent and subtle.

"Family ties can be repaired, buddy!" Aeris whispered in Harry's ear, "After all, the day you lost your mother, your aunt also lost her only sister, didn't she? Think about what you saw in my memory. My uncle threw me to an orphanage when I was a baby. At least your aunt raised you, although they took care of you a little roughly..."

After letting Harry go, Aeris patted his shoulder. Harry nodded without comment. The hound that Sirius had transformed into also came over and hugged Harry.

"Thank you again for saving my life, buddy!" Aeris finally said to Harry, "I'll come to Privet Drive to visit you when I have time!"

Harry followed the Dursleys back. After saying goodbye to the Weasleys, Aries said goodbye to Hermione and the Grangers, and then helped Draco drag the luggage towards the Glenns' house.

"Your story caused quite a stir in the school," Draco said as he walked. "Fudge used his last power to ask Professor Dumbledore to expel you from Hogwarts. How does it feel? Becoming an unemployed vagrant..." Draco's tone was full of ridicule.

"I will not become a vagrant," Aris said with a smile, "I have already been recognized by Mr. Ollivander. I will learn wand-making skills from him as an apprentice. Mr. Ollivander is also a knowledgeable scholar. My study with him will not be worse than studying at Hogwarts."

On the way back to Green's house, Aries and Draco met Selena and Ariana who were going to the station to greet them. Selena's warm smile was as bright as the sun, and Ariana ran over to them skipping and jumping.

Just when Aries thought his sister was going to give him a big hug, Ariana passed Aries and threw herself into Draco's arms. Draco smiled triumphantly at Aries. Aries rolled his eyes and murmured, "What a sin!"
