Hogwarts: The Savior's Strong Cousin

The so-called "Magic Clash" competition is a competition that combines various magical skills and wisdom. Unlike traditional Quidditch games, it emphasizes teamwork and comprehensive ability. Each college will send a team to represent their respective colleges to compete for the honor of the championship. Harry was selected as the captain of the Gryffindor team, and his old friends Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley naturally became his strongest backers.

In the first round, the teams were taken to a mysterious magical forest. The task was to find and collect five rare magical plants while avoiding various dangerous magical creatures. Guided by Hermione's ingenuity and Ron's intuition, Harry's team quickly found the first plant - the Nightshade. However, the Slytherin team, led by their captain Draco Malfoy, always seemed to be one step ahead.

As the competition entered a white-hot stage, a sudden storm swept through the entire forest, and the magic barrier was invalidated, and the contestants had to face greater challenges. Harry and his friends were trapped in a foggy canyon, surrounded by ferocious magical creatures. At this time, Luna Lovegood used her seemingly weird but very effective magic to summon a group of magical moonlight butterflies to light their way forward.

The second round was held in an ancient underground maze. This maze was designed by Helga Hufflepuff, one of the founders of Hogwarts, and was full of strange magic mechanisms and puzzles. Each team needed to solve the puzzle and find the key to the end. Harry's team solved one puzzle after another with Hermione's wisdom, but just as they were about to reach the end, they encountered a huge magic snake. Harry decided to use the Parseltongue he learned in fifth grade, successfully appeased the magic snake and won the game.

Just when everyone thought the competition was about to end, Professor McGonagall announced a shocking news: the final round would be a big battle involving the entire Hogwarts, called the "House Battle". All participating teams need to use the knowledge and skills they have learned in the previous rounds to defend their respective houses. The victory of the game is not only determined by individual strength, but also requires the joint efforts of the entire house.

On the eve of the game, Harry convened all Gryffindor students for a mobilization meeting. He knew that the key to victory was everyone's unity and cooperation. Ron was responsible for arranging fortifications, Hermione designed a set of complex magic traps, and Harry himself kept recalling the tactics that Professor Dumbledore had taught him.

The moment of the decisive battle finally arrived, and the sky of Hogwarts was filled with a tense atmosphere. After the game started, the teams from various colleges launched fierce confrontations. The Slytherin students used their expertise in black magic to quickly occupy the advantageous terrain, the Ravenclaws relied on their wisdom to set up various puzzles and traps, and the Hufflepuff students relied on their endurance and spirit of unity to tenaciously defend their positions.

Just when the situation was getting tense, Harry suddenly came up with a bold plan. He decided to lead a small team to break through Slytherin's defenses and go straight to Huanglong. Hermione and Ron supported his decision without hesitation. After a thrilling sneak, they finally succeeded in sneaking into Slytherin's camp. However, what greeted them was Draco Malfoy and his followers.

A fierce magic duel is inevitable, with sparks flying and spells interweaving in the air. Harry and Draco fought fiercely, neither side giving in. At this moment, Harry found that Draco seemed to be a little shaken, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes. Harry took the opportunity to extend an olive branch to Draco, hoping to turn enemies into friends and fight against the greater threat that was coming.

Just when everyone was fighting with all their might, a huge crack suddenly appeared in the sky above Hogwarts, and an unknown powerful force began to invade the campus. This accident made everyone temporarily put aside their hostility and unite to resist the foreign enemy. In this unprecedented crisis, Harry and his friends not only demonstrated their courage and wisdom, but also won the respect of the entire wizarding world.

Harry Potter stood on the tower of Hogwarts, looking at the gradually darkening sky in the distance, with all kinds of complicated emotions surging in his heart. He recalled the duel with Draco Malfoy that had just ended, and the sudden huge crack that followed. This unknown force seemed to foreshadow a greater crisis, and he knew that he had to become stronger.

"Harry, what are you thinking about?" Hermione's voice interrupted his thoughts. She and Ron came over, both with worried expressions on their faces.

"I wonder what exactly we are facing." Harry said in a deep voice, "What kind of power is hidden behind that crack?"

Ron frowned and said, "Whatever it is, we have to be prepared. Everyone is talking about it now, and the atmosphere is getting more and more tense."

Hermione nodded, her eyes gleaming with determination, "We can't just wait passively. Harry, we need to learn more information and find a solution."

Harry took a deep breath. He knew Hermione was right. However, the inexplicable pressure in his heart made him feel a little powerless. As the former "boy who survived", he had always shouldered the responsibility of saving others, and now this burden seemed to be on his shoulders again.

That night, Harry tossed and turned in his bedroom, and the scene of the day kept appearing in his mind. He began to doubt whether he was able to deal with the upcoming crisis. Just as he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly felt a strange power stirring in his body. The feeling was both strange and familiar, as if the magic in his body had begun to undergo new changes.

The next day, Harry decided to ask Dumbledore's portrait for advice. Although the great headmaster was no longer alive, his wisdom was still preserved in those portraits. Harry walked into the headmaster's office and looked at the portraits on the wall, his heart full of respect and nostalgia.

"Harry, I sense your inner turmoil," Dumbledore's portrait said, his voice still full of warmth and power. "Would you like to share your confusion with me?"

Harry nodded and told Dumbledore's portrait everything that had happened recently. Dumbledore listened quietly, his eyes deep.

"Harry, every wizard will experience changes and improvements in their magical abilities as they grow." Dumbledore pondered for a moment and said, "The power in your body is beginning to radiate. This is a new stage. You need to learn to control and guide it."
