Became good friends with the Boy Who Lived

Chapter 188 Troubles, Daily Life

In Professor McGonagall's office, Professor Snape was looking at the opal necklace brought back by Aries with a serious expression, while Professor McGonagall was looking at Aries and Harry and the others in silence.

"I wonder," said Professor McGonagall, "why do you guys always get involved when something happens at Hogwarts?"

"Not to mention you, we're also quite puzzled!" Ron said weakly.

Katie Bell's friend, Lini, has narrated the entire incident to everyone present: When Katie Bell was at the Three Broomsticks, she went to get Butterbeer, and when she came back, she had an unsigned package in her hand. Katie Bell looked a little dazed at the time. Now Lini recalled that Katie Bell must have been cast under the Imperius Curse by someone at that time, so she was so obsessed with bringing the unsigned package back to Hogwarts.

"I shouldn't have competed with her," Lini said self-reproachfully, "I should have realized this earlier. Katie... Katie... was under the control of the Imperius Curse..."

"It's not your fault, silly girl!" Professor McGonagall comforted, "Go to the school hospital and keep Miss Bell company. She will be happy for you to stay with her."

Lini left, but the atmosphere in the office seemed a little solemn.

"How is it, Severus?" Professor McGonagall asked Professor Snape, "Can you see anything?"

"It's an extremely powerful curse!" Professor Snape said solemnly, "It's a miracle that Miss Bell didn't die on the spot. I have to admit that Mr. Grindelwald's handling process is... textbook-level..."

After Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape took turns asking Aeris and Harry for some details, they detained the opal necklace and sent them all away. As they walked back, they discussed in a low voice the possibility of who had done this.

The next day, Katie Bell was transferred to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries. Madam Pomfrey was powerless against such a powerful curse. It was Professor Snape who found a way to prevent the curse from spreading quickly from Katie Bell's hand that touched the opal necklace to her entire body.

Professor Dumbledore also stepped in and implemented some useful measures in a timely manner, which more than doubled the defense of Hogwarts Castle.

During this period, Harry received another private lesson from Professor Dumbledore and learned some of Tom Riddle's childhood experiences.

"Wow! How terrifying!" During the Herbology class, Harry told Aris, Hermione, and Ron what Professor Dumbledore taught. Ron was so surprised that he couldn't control himself, "Just think about it, the You-Know-Who in his youth..."

"Control your emotions, Ron!" Aris said, "As a teaching assistant, I think it is my responsibility to remind you that your progress is much worse than that of other students. Neville has even taken out a pod..."

In this herb class, they have to deal with a plant called: Lumpy Vine. The pods inside the Lumpy Vine are of great value, but seeing how miserable Neville made himself in order to extract the pods, Aris felt that the value of the Lumpy Vine pods did not seem to be that great.

While dealing with the tangled ivy, Harry, Ron, and Hermione were whispering about Professor Slughorn's "Slug Club". Professor Slughorn was trying every means to get Harry and Hermione into his club, or as Hermione said: to attend a ridiculous party.

Aeris had to remind Harry and the others again that they had to speed up their studies, otherwise they would get poor grades in Professor Sprout's after-class evaluation.

Ron was in trouble again. He performed poorly in Quidditch training. Even though Aris had never watched Harry and his friends practice Quidditch, he could learn this from the Gryffindor students' words and Ron's bad mood, which could be read without Legilimency.

As the season approached, Aries came up with an idea. "Ron just doesn't have much self-confidence," Aries said to Harry and Hermione. "Why not give him some luck? Just pretend to give him some luck, and he can soar to the sky..."

On the day of the game, Ron seemed to be in a very bad mood. Aeris and Harry looked at each other and nodded at the same time. Harry said to Ron, "Want something to drink, buddy? Tea? Coffee? Pumpkin juice?"

"Whatever..." Ron said weakly.

Aris and Harry sat on Ron's left and right. Aris suddenly said in a low but pretentious voice: "Oh my God! Harry! How could you do such a thing? Have you forgotten what Professor Slughorn said? Felix Felicis cannot be used in official competitions. I can't believe you would do such a thing..."

Aeris' voice was very low, but it was loud enough for Ron to hear. Ron looked at Aeris in confusion, and when he looked at Harry, Harry poured a glass of pumpkin juice into Ron's mouth, and shook the small crystal bottle of golden liquid of Felix Felicis in front of Ron deliberately, unnoticeably, and then quickly put it in his pocket.

Ron looked at Harry in surprise, and then he was ecstatic, his whole spirit seemed to be sublimated. Hermione, who was sitting next to Aries, of course saw that Harry was just pretending to add Felicis Felix to Ron's pumpkin juice, so she just shook her head, curled her lips, and muttered softly: "What a bunch of childish ghosts..."

"Are you going to stop us, Professor Grindelwald?" Harry said with a sly smile.

"I didn't see anything," said Aris. "I don't really care about Quidditch anyway..."

Then, Gryffindor won a great victory. Aris did not go to watch the Quidditch game, but just carved the summoning circle in the castle as usual.
