Hogwarts: The Savior's Strong Cousin

"That looks like a code of some kind," said Harry. "Perhaps a clue left by Snape."

Professor Sprout nodded, "We need to crack this code and see what information is hidden in it."

Harry took out his wand and tried to decipher the code with magic, but found that these symbols and letters seemed to contain complex magic. He and Professor Sprout decided to return to the headmaster's office and ask Hermione and Ron to help decipher it.

Back in the Headmaster's office, Harry showed the parchment to Hermione and Ron.

"This looks complicated," Hermione said, a curious glint in her eye, "but I think we can unravel it."

“We need to focus and find the patterns in these symbols and letters,” Ron added. “Every detail could be the key.”

The four of them began to nervously decipher the parchment, trying various possible combinations and methods. As time passed, Harry felt his inner tension and anxiety gradually increase. He knew that Snape's disappearance might be related to whether they could successfully resist the attack of the dark forces.

"Harry, look at this," Hermione said suddenly, pointing to a symbol on the paper, "These symbols seem to be related to a code in an ancient magic book."

"You mean this is an ancient magical code?" Harry asked, a hopeful glimmer in his eyes.

"Yes, if we can find the corresponding books, we may be able to decipher the meaning of the symbols," Hermione explained.

They decided to go to the Hogwarts library to look for those ancient magic books. There are many kinds of books in the library, and many ancient magic books are locked in the restricted area. Harry asked the librarian to let them enter the restricted area for research.

In the library, they looked through a large number of ancient magic books and finally found a book related to those symbols. Hermione carefully compared the contents of the book and gradually figured out the meaning of those symbols and letters.

"These are the coordinates of a location," Hermione said excitedly, "Professor Snape might be in this place."

"We must hurry over there," said Harry, his eyes gleaming with determination, "perhaps he is in danger."

They set off immediately and headed for the mysterious location according to the coordinates. It was a secret cave deep in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts, surrounded by a thick atmosphere of darkness. Harry felt a chill, but he knew he had to keep going.

After entering the cave, they found Snape trapped in a magic cage, surrounded by several minions of the dark forces. Snape's face was pale, and he had obviously suffered a lot.

"We have to free him," Harry whispered, his eyes gleaming with anger and determination.

Hermione and Ron nodded, and they moved quickly, engaging in a fierce battle with the minions of the dark forces. Magic spells intertwined in the air, fire splashed, and the entire cave was filled with a tense atmosphere.

Harry concentrated his energy and cast a powerful spell to repel the minions one by one. He quickly rushed to Snape and used his wand to unlock the chains of the magic cage.

"Professor Snape, we're here to rescue you," Harry said, his voice full of determination and strength.

Snape nodded slightly, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes, "You came at the right time."

They quickly took Snape out of the dangerous cave and back to the safety of Hogwarts. Snape was sent to the hospital wing for treatment, while Harry, Hermione and Ron began to sort out all the clues of this incident.

"We must find the mastermind behind this," Harry said, determination flashing in his eyes, "This is just the beginning, the real battle is yet to come."

Harry sat on a bench outside the hospital wing, his heart filled with anxiety. Although Snape's rescue was successful, he knew that this was just the tip of the iceberg. More dangers and unknown threats were still lurking in the darkness. He felt an unprecedented pressure and sense of responsibility, as if the fate of the entire Hogwarts was on his shoulders.

"Harry, we need to find more clues," Hermione said softly, her eyes full of worry, "Professor Snape knows something, but he needs time to recover now."

"I know," Harry sighed, "but I don't know how much time we have. The dark forces are approaching, and we must find answers quickly."

Ron patted Harry's shoulder, "Don't worry, Harry. We're all in this together, we'll find a way."

At this moment, Harry suddenly remembered Headmaster Dumbledore. Although he had passed away, his soul was still guarding Hogwarts somewhere. Harry decided to look for Dumbledore's soul, hoping to get some guidance and help from him.

"I'm going to Dumbledore," Harry said firmly, his eyes gleaming with determination, "He'll know what to do."

Hermione and Ron looked at each other and nodded. "We're going with you, Harry," Hermione said. "We won't let you face this alone."

The three of them moved quickly and headed for the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts. They knew that there was an ancient altar deep in the Forbidden Forest, which was said to be able to summon Dumbledore's soul. As the night deepened, a mysterious and dangerous atmosphere filled the Forbidden Forest. Harry's heartbeat quickened, and he knew that this action was crucial.

They carefully walked through the dense forest and finally found the ancient altar in a clearing. Harry stood in front of the altar, took a deep breath, and then took out a special wand, which was one of the relics left to him by Dumbledore.

"Hopefully it works this time," Harry whispered, beginning to chant the ancient spell.

A soft blue light rose from the altar, forming a flickering circle of light. The circle of light gradually expanded and finally condensed into a familiar figure - Dumbledore's soul appeared in front of them, with a hint of warm smile in his eyes.

"Harry, Hermione, Ron, it's nice to meet you," Dumbledore's voice was gentle but firm, "It looks like you're in trouble."

"Professor, we need your help," Harry said anxiously, "The dark forces are approaching, and we don't know how to deal with it."

Dumbledore nodded, his eyes gleaming with wisdom, "I know you are worried, Harry. But you have done a good job. You rescued Snape, which is very important. He knows some key information."

"But, Professor, we need more clues," Hermione said, "Professor Snape can't tell us more at the moment."
