Write a story about new students at a school of witchcraft and wizardry in Norway where students learn the magic of the Northern Lights. The two 11-year-old boys are NAME_1, a handsome, smart, gentle-mannered, popular boy from the well-known old magical family in a big town, and NAME_2, a shy, rather introvert, cute boy who loves snow rabbits and flowers. They are sorted into The Polar Bear House, one of the four houses named after magical arctic animals.  NAME_1 likes NAME_2 very much (maybe a bit too much, but don't pay too much attention this point yet, they are still 11. Hint NAME_1's feelings toward NAME_2, but this is not a romance story.)  The story involves NAME_3 the magical armored bear, who is the mascot and the guardian of the Polar Bear House. NAME_1's intelligence and NAME_2's kind heart somehow helps the troubled bear, and the bear gives them some magical object. It helps/rescue the boys when they need help. Write a story about the boy's little adventure. (Don't them fight against the group of dark wizards yet. They have to learn before they will be able to fight later in the story.)  First, develop the character of the two boys and the bear. Provide your response in exactly 3 paragraphs (separated nearby paragraphs with 3 aterisk symbols ***).
