Became good friends with the Boy Who Lived

A lot happened this holiday season:

Thanks to Ariana's efforts, the two old men, Garlot and Aberforth, finally put aside their grudges from their youth and shook hands and made peace. Although they were not very cordial when they met, at least the two old men would not always glare at each other when they had dinner together.

Aris studied very well in Mr. Ollivander's wand shop. After studying, he would go to Fred and George's Weasley's Wizarding Workshop to help. Compared to the slightly deserted wand shop, the Weasley's Wizarding Workshop was always crowded with people. Fred and George were so busy that they had almost no time to go back to the Burrow.

Of course, Mr. Ollivander's wand shop also ushered in the annual busy period. As an apprentice, Aris helped Mr. Ollivander as an assistant to accurately select the first wand destined for the young wizards who were about to enter school.

There is also the wedding of Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks. Remus, a werewolf, finally overcame his psychological barriers and agreed to Tonks' proposal. In fact, the happiest person about this was not Remus, but Sirius. After more than ten years, Sirius could finally be the best man at the wedding of one of his good friends.

The most important thing for Aries was an envelope that Professor Dumbledore handed to Aries during a dinner at the Greene family.

When Aries opened the envelope, he saw a letter of employment from Hogwarts. Professor Dumbledore, in the name of the headmaster of Hogwarts, hired Aries to be a teaching assistant at Hogwarts, or... a professor's assistant.

Aris could follow the learning progress of the sixth-year Gryffindor students and serve as an assistant to several professors in Potions, Transfiguration, Charms, Herbology, and Defense Against the Dark Arts. At the end of the seventh year, Professor Dumbledore promised to award Aris a Hogwarts diploma.

This made Aris quite happy, after all, he could experience the life of professors in advance.

Aeris and Draco visited Harry several times. Harry had a pretty good summer vacation. According to Harry, he and the Dursleys had almost no interference with each other.

Sirius lived in the Greene family as a stray dog ​​for another week, mainly to keep Ariana company, which made Draco smack his teeth.

In short, during the days before school started, Aries lived a simple, busy and fulfilling life.

One evening, when Aries was returning to the Leaky Cauldron from Diagon Alley, he met an unexpected person, Percy Weasley, who was drinking alone.

"Do you mind if I sit here for a while, Percy?" Aeris said as he sat down opposite Percy.

"Oh... Oh... It's Aeris!" Percy was already drunk. He looked at Aeris with hazy eyes and said unclearly, "Are you here to laugh at me? Haha... Laugh as much as you want. Anyway, I've been abandoned by everyone..."

"I don't have that plan," said Aris. "Mrs. Weasley invited me to have dinner with them tonight. Would you like to come? Mrs. Weasley would be very happy."

Percy drank another glass of Flaming Whiskey in one gulp, and said with a wry smile: "I said a lot of excessive words, which hurt Mom's heart; I denied Dad's efforts. How can I face them? I wanted to make some achievements, I wanted to be their pride..."

"You have always been Mrs. Weasley's pride, Percy!" said Aris. "Mrs. Weasley has always kept your room for you. Ron wrote to me that Mrs. Weasley always went to your room to cry. When Mr. Weasley mentioned you, he was no longer angry, but worried. Not to mention that when Mrs. Weasley was dealing with the Boggart, what she feared most was seeing your body..."

"Stop talking...please stop talking..." Percy was already in tears.

"Can we forgive a person's mistakes but not let go of a person's rightness? Percy?" Aeris stared at Percy and said.

Percy drank another glass of Firewhiskey in one gulp and stood up staggeringly. Aeris hurried over to support him. "Can you take me home, Aeris?" Percy asked vaguely.

"Of course!" Aeris said with a smile.

Aeris supported Percy and used the Floo powder to return to the Burrow from the fireplace of the Leaky Cauldron.

The emerald flames died down, and Aris heard Mrs. Weasley's voice: "Is that you? Aris? Darling! Dinner will be ready soon..."

Mrs. Weasley subconsciously turned her head and glanced towards the fireplace. The plate in her hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. "Percy!?" Mrs. Weasley exclaimed.

"I took him home, Mrs. Weasley!" said Aris with a smile.

"What's wrong, Molly? Darling!" Mr. Weasley heard the noise in the kitchen and ran over. "Is it Aris? This..."

"I'm an idiot!" Percy cried. "A vain fool! I'm sorry! Mum, Dad..."

Mrs. Weasley walked quickly forward, hugged Percy, and sobbed softly, tears flowing uncontrollably. Mr. Weasley also came over, looking at Aris and asking him what was going on.

"I met Percy at the Leaky Cauldron," said Aeris. "He was drunk and crying and wanted to go home, so I took him back..."

Mr. Weasley also hugged his wife and son, looked up at the ceiling, and blinked hard.

The commotion here quickly attracted everyone, and they were all a little overwhelmed when they saw the scene before them.

It was Fred and George who livened up the atmosphere. The twins spoke one after another, teasing Percy until his face turned pale and red. Finally, it was Mrs. Weasley who stopped their antics.

During the dinner time at the Burrow, the atmosphere at the table was quite harmonious...
