Hogwarts: The Savior's Strong Cousin

Chapter 391 A Determined Expression

The power you feel may be some ancient magic of Hogwarts resonating with you. This power is very powerful, but also very dangerous. If you can't control it, it may have serious consequences for yourself and even for all of Hogwarts."

Harry nodded. He understood Professor McGonagall's concerns. He began to realize that he had to be more careful in using this power. Perhaps the key to controlling this power was to find its true source, rather than simply enhancing his perception.

In the following days, Harry began to use the water of the magic spring more carefully. He no longer frequently enhanced his perception, but tried to balance the power in his body through meditation and practice. He found that when he relaxed and did not deliberately perceive the magic, his headaches and nightmares would gradually subside. This gave him a little comfort, but he knew that the real challenge was still ahead. Harry gradually mastered the method of balancing the power in his body, but he still could not completely control the ancient magic. This uncertainty made him anxious, but it also stimulated his desire to explore deeper. He knew that the secrets of Hogwarts were far more profound than he had imagined, and he had just begun to touch the tip of the iceberg.

On a quiet afternoon, Harry sat in the library of Hogwarts, flipping through an ancient magic book, trying to find more clues about the source of Hogwarts' magic. The content of the book was profound and obscure, but Harry still read it carefully, trying to find useful information from it.

Harry Potter walked out from the depths of the library, his mind still lingering with the description of the "Original Power" in the ancient book. It was an extremely ancient magical power, which was said to be not only the source of the magical world, but also able to resonate with certain special places or individuals. Harry could not get rid of the feeling that there was some connection between this power and Hogwarts, and he himself seemed to be the core of this connection.

Harry walked out of the library with mixed feelings, feeling dry mouth and tired from reading for a long time. He suddenly thought that he hadn't relaxed for a long time, maybe buying some orange juice to quench his thirst and relax himself would help to sort out his thoughts.

Harry decided to go to the shop in Hogsmeade to buy some orange juice. The orange juice there has a refreshing sweetness that always makes people feel good. Walking on the road to Hogsmeade, Harry's thoughts were still entangled by the ancient power. He kept trying to sort out its relationship with himself, but every time he could only get fragmentary answers, as if the whole thing was shrouded in a thick fog.

"Maybe orange juice can help me wake up," Harry said to himself, with a hint of self-mockery. He knew that he might be a little too anxious now, but he couldn't ignore the feeling of uneasiness that kept coming.

Walking into the small shop in Hogsmeade, Harry saw a variety of drinks and snacks on the shelves. He walked straight to the area where orange juice was placed and reached out to take a bottle of orange juice. The cool bottle made him feel comfortable. He brought the bottle to the counter and was about to pay when the owner, an elderly witch, looked at him with a smile. "Long time no see." The owner smiled and said with a hint of kindness in her voice, "You look a little tired recently."

Harry was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "Maybe there have been a lot of things going on lately."

"Orange juice is a good choice, it can help you clear your mind," the shopkeeper said as he collected the money skillfully, "but sometimes it is also important to take a proper rest and not let yourself get too deep into it. He couldn't help thinking that maybe she was right, and he was indeed too focused on those unsolved mysteries recently. Although this concentration made him excited, it also made him feel an indelible sense of oppression. Harry took the orange juice, walked out of the shop, sat in a quiet corner of Hogsmeade Village, slowly opened the bottle cap, and the fresh orange aroma instantly hit him.

He took a sip of orange juice, and the cool liquid slid down his throat, bringing a long-lost sense of relaxation. Harry leaned back on the bench, looking at the mountains in the distance, trying to let himself go. However, the more he wanted to relax, the more doubts in his heart lingered.

"Original power..." He muttered in a low voice, his eyes gradually becoming serious. Perhaps, this is exactly the puzzle he needs to solve, and the answer may be hidden somewhere in Hogwarts, or in the power in his body.

"What are you thinking about, Harry?" A familiar voice interrupted his thoughts. Harry looked up and saw Hermione and Ron walking towards him. They were obviously looking for him on purpose. Hermione's expression was a little worried, while Ron looked a little confused.

"I was just...thinking about something," Harry replied, trying to sound lighthearted as he didn't want his friends to worry about him.

"About the things you found in the library?" Hermione went straight to the point. She had obviously seen something from Harry's expression.

Harry sighed and nodded, "Yes, I found records about an ancient magic called 'Original Power'. I think it may be related to the magic of Hogwarts, or even... related to the power in my body."

"The Power of Origin?" Hermione frowned, obviously trying to recall whether she had read relevant information. "I seem to have heard of this name somewhere... but I can't remember the specific content."

"Perhaps we should investigate further," Ron interrupted, a hint of uneasiness in his tone. "Harry, this sounds a bit dangerous. Are you sure you want to keep looking?"

Harry hesitated. He knew that Ron's worries were not unfounded, but his strong desire for knowledge drove him to move forward. "I have to find out," he said firmly. "I can't stop here. This is not only about me, but also about Hogwarts."

Hermione looked at Harry's determined expression and nodded, "Then let's check together. Maybe there is other information in the library, or we can ask those who know more about ancient magic."

Ron nodded helplessly as well, "Well, I just hope we don't get into more trouble."

Harry smiled and thanked his friends for their support. He knew that although this road was full of unknowns and dangers, with Hermione and Ron by his side, he no longer felt alone. They decided to start a more in-depth investigation as soon as they returned to Hogwarts, especially looking for books involving ancient magic and the history of Hogwarts.
