Became good friends with the Boy Who Lived

The Christmas holiday is coming soon, and the hedonistic Professor Slughorn is planning to hold a party before the Christmas holiday. Aeris was also invited, but Aeris wrote a reply letter and politely declined.

Aeris's schedule is a little tight now, with his assistant job, night patrols, DA meetings, helping Neville to deeply understand the Cruciatus Curse and carving summoning arrays, and if he has time, he will also help Hagrid, because Aragog is about to die, and Hagrid is a little distracted from teaching.

Although a philosopher once said: Time is like water in a sponge, as long as you squeeze it, there will always be some! (As for which philosopher said this, Eris couldn't remember, maybe it was a jellyfish seller) but there is always a limit. Eris deeply understood Hermione's embarrassment in her third year. (Hermione wanted to learn more magic knowledge in her third year, and used the time converter without restraint)

"Ares?" After dinner, Hermione found Ares in an inconspicuous corner of a corridor. "What are you doing here?"

After Aris finished carving the last pattern of the summoning array on the wall, he looked at Hermione and said, "Increase the firepower of Hogwarts Castle!" Aris smiled and said, "Have you finished your homework?" Aris waved his wand, and the summoning array turned into a texture on the wall. If you don't look carefully, it is difficult to tell the difference from ordinary decorative patterns.

"Professor Slughorn invited me to attend his party," Hermione looked at Aris suspiciously, and then said, "I hope you can accompany me to attend this slug party..."

"I may not have time, dear!" Aries said, "If you... uh... want to relax, why not invite others? Colin Cleavey and Dennis Cleavey are two good guys. Ernie McMillan and Justin Finch-Fletchley, if you invite Drago, he probably won't refuse..."

"I just hope you can go with me!" Hermione interrupted Aeris's chattering with some annoyance, "If you are tired of me, you can just say it, Aeris! We can still be good friends for life..."

"I didn't..." Aeris wanted to explain, but his eyes went dark. He took a step back and fell down to the floor along the wall.

"Eris!" Hermione shouted anxiously and hurried forward to check on Eris' condition. Eris shook his head, and when his vision became clearer, he smiled gently at Hermione and waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.

"Please sit here with me for a while... dear!" Aerys said gently. Hermione sat on the ground beside Aerys, her eyes a little red.

"What happened to you recently, Aeris?" Hermione asked with a slightly choked voice, "I know our identities are a little different now. I'm still a student, and you're a teaching assistant, but...but...I mean...we don't have the intimacy between friends we used to have...we used to talk about everything, but now you're hiding something from me...hiding something from us..."

"Having the gift of prophecy is really a painful thing," Aeris said with a wry smile, "My grandfather: Geralt Grindelwald, accurately predicted the outbreak of the Second World War, and I... since the beginning of school, there has been an omen weighing on my mind. The second wizard war with Voldemort will start before next summer vacation, and the location of the war will be: Hogwarts Castle..."

Hermione covered her mouth in disbelief, looked at Aeris in horror, and shook her head in panic.

"I don't want this to be true," Aeris said. "I even hope that I have never seen these warnings. I also want to enjoy campus life, fall in love with you, take you to various activities, stroll with you in the sunshine and breeze, and even liberate the house-elves in Hogwarts with you. No matter how boring the party is, it will become interesting with you by my side. But... now I can only do my best... to ensure that in half a year... we can still be alive..."

Hermione fell into Aris's arms, sobbing softly. Aris patted Hermione's back again and again, and whispered: "Don't tell anyone, okay? Prophecy sometimes has great uncertainty. I don't want the whole Hogwarts to be in panic..."

Footsteps were heard, and Ron and Lavender were walking towards this direction while kissing each other. It seemed that because this place was very private, the young couple did not want to be disturbed by anyone.

But soon an awkward scene occurred. Ron and Lavender, who were kissing each other, noticed Aris and Hermione, who were sitting on the floor and snuggling together.

"Five points from Gryffindor," Aeris said jokingly, "Mind your appearance, Miss Brown!"

Lavender giggled and tried to drag Ron away. Ron said unconvincedly, "Then how can you two ..."

"Then... Gryffindor will deduct another five points!" Aris looked at Hermione in his arms and said with a smile.

"Let's go...Ron! Don't disturb others!" Lavender said with a smile, pulling Ron away.

"Are they so...inseparable now?" Aeris said with a smile.

"You're not paying attention to anything right now," Hermione said sullenly. "Ever since the last Quidditch match, when Gryffindor won a great victory and Ron regained his confidence, they've been like this all the time... in public... inseparable..."
