Hogwarts: The Savior's Strong Cousin

They quickly decided to return to Hogwarts and teleported to Diagon Alley via the hearth powder. Time was running out and every second counted.

After arriving at Diagon Alley, Harry and Dumbledore went straight to Ollivander's Wand Shop. In the night, Diagon Alley was unusually quiet, with only a few street lights flickering.

Harry's heart beat faster as he pushed open the door of Ollivander's shop. All kinds of possibilities filled his mind. Ollivander was sorting wands and looked surprised when he saw them coming.

"Harry, Professor Dumbledore, do you have any urgent business at this late hour?" asked Ollivander.

"Mr. Ollivander, we need you to help us find a special wand," Dumbledore said bluntly, "a wand that can help us fight an ancient magical force."

Ollivander frowned and thought for a moment. "A special wand... let me think about it. You mean the wand that requires the purest magic power to control?"

Harry nodded. "Yes, the wand."

Ollivander walked to the back of the store, searched for a while, and took out an old box. In the box lay a wand that was shining with strange light, as if it contained infinite power.

"This is the wand you are looking for," Ollivander said solemnly, "It requires a truly pure heart to control it. Harry, I believe you are that person."

Harry took the wand and felt a strong magical power surge into his body. He knew that this was the key to their victory over the shadow and the hope of protecting Hogwarts.

"Thank you, Mr. Ollivander," Harry said sincerely.

"Good luck to you, Harry," Ollivander patted him on the shoulder, "I hope you succeed."

With this special wand, Harry and Dumbledore once again set out on a journey back to the mysterious forest. Harry was full of hope and determination, and he knew that this adventure would change everything.

When they stood in the open space again, the shadow appeared again, and this time its power seemed even stronger. Harry held his wand tightly, chanted a spell in his heart, and prepared for the ultimate battle.

"We are ready," Harry said firmly, "No matter how dangerous the road ahead is, we will not retreat."

Dumbledore smiled, "Harry, remember, true strength comes from inner belief. We will succeed."

The shadow roared and pounced on Harry and Dumbledore. The air was filled with strong magical fluctuations. Harry tightly grasped the wand in his hand. The tension and fear in his heart were replaced by a firm belief at this moment. He knew that only by facing it bravely could he protect Hogwarts.

"We must not be intimidated by its power, Harry," Dumbledore's voice sounded in his ears with inspiring force.

"I know," Harry nodded, trying to calm himself down. He recalled every battle he had experienced at Hogwarts, and the fear and danger he had faced had made him stronger.

The shadow approached, Harry raised his wand, silently chanted a spell, and a blue light shot out from the tip of the wand, hitting the shadow directly. The shadow was knocked back a few steps, but soon recovered and did not seem to have suffered much damage.

"Its power is too strong, we need to find its weakness," Harry gritted his teeth and kept thinking of countermeasures in his mind.

Dumbledore nodded. "There is some ancient power hidden in this forest. We must find its source."

They continued to fight the shadow, each attack was carried out with great determination and courage. Every counterattack of the shadow made Harry feel unprecedented pressure, but he knew he could not retreat.

At this moment, Harry suddenly had an idea, and he thought of those ancient runes and seals. Perhaps they needed to use these runes to fight against the shadow.

"Professor Dumbledore, we can try to use these runes," Harry said loudly, "Perhaps they can help us weaken the power of the shadow."

Dumbledore's eyes flashed with approval, "That's a good idea, Harry. We need to find the correct arrangement of the runes."

The two quickly began to study the ancient runes in the open space, and Harry was filled with hope and tension. He knew that this was their only chance, and if they failed, Hogwarts would face an unprecedented crisis.

As the runes gradually arranged into a complete pattern, the power of the shadow seemed to begin to weaken. Harry felt an unprecedented power surge out of the runes and surround them.

"Now, Harry!" shouted Dumbledore. "Release the full power of your magic!"

Harry raised his wand, concentrating all his will and strength, and a dazzling light shot out from the tip of the wand, hitting the shadow directly. The shadow let out a painful howl and gradually dissipated into the air.

"We did it," Harry panted, feeling exhausted but full of triumph.

"This is a triumph of your courage and wisdom," Dumbledore said with a smile, his eyes shining with pride.

However, Harry knew in his heart that this was just the beginning. There were still many unknown dangers and challenges waiting for them at Hogwarts. He must always be vigilant to protect everyone he loved.

A few days later, Harry decided to talk to Dumbledore about the follow-up of this incident. He knew that the ancient power in this forest was still a threat and they needed to take measures to prevent it.

Harry came to Dumbledore's office with some doubts and worries in his heart. Dumbledore was flipping through an ancient magic book, and when he saw Harry come in, he smiled and asked him to sit down.

"Harry, what is the matter?" Dumbledore asked gently.

"Professor, I want to talk about the ancient power in that forest," Harry said straight to the point, "We need to take measures to prevent similar incidents from happening again."

Dumbledore nodded, "You are right, Harry. The power hidden in that forest is very dangerous indeed. We cannot take it lightly."

"I was wondering if we could set up a protective ward to prevent anyone else from entering the area," Harry suggested, thinking about how to maximize the safety of Hogwarts.

"That's a good idea, Harry," Dumbledore said approvingly, "We can use those ancient runes to set up a powerful protective ward."

The two began to discuss in detail the specific methods and steps of setting up the barrier. Harry felt that the responsibility on his shoulders was getting heavier, but he was not afraid. He knew that protecting Hogwarts was his life's mission, and no matter what challenges he faced, he would do his best.
