Hogwarts: The Savior's Strong Cousin

Eric smiled and motioned Harry to sit down. "Young man, you have extraordinary courage and determination. I am willing to guide you, but you must understand that power does not only come from the control of magic, but also from inner determination and wisdom."

Harry listened carefully, feeling the wisdom of the old wizard, and began to learn from Eric, gradually mastering more in-depth knowledge about the power of magic.

In the following months, Harry conducted rigorous training and study every day. He learned various ancient magic rituals and mastered more spells and protective magic. He gradually understood that the purity of power lies not only in the strength of power, but also in the use and control of power.

One day, when Harry was practicing a complex magic ritual, he suddenly felt a strong magical fluctuation. He closed his eyes, concentrated his attention, and felt the source of that power. He realized that this power came from the firmness and determination deep in his heart.

"Harry, what do you feel?" Eric asked from the side, with curiosity glittering in his eyes.

Harry opened his eyes, smiled and said, "I felt a pure power, it came from my heart. I understand that power is not only external, but also internal."

Eric nodded in approval. "You are right, Harry. Real strength comes from inner determination and wisdom. You are on the right path."

Under Eric's guidance, Harry Potter gradually found the real source of his strength, but he knew that the real tempering still needed to be experienced by himself. So he decided to say goodbye to Eric and start a new journey alone to find more challenges and experience himself.

"Thank you for your guidance and help, Mr. Eric," Harry said as he said goodbye, with a determined light in his eyes, "I think it's time for me to hone my skills now."

Eric smiled and nodded, "Harry, you have made great progress. I believe you have enough wisdom and courage to face the challenges in the future. Remember, no matter what difficulties you encounter, stay firm in your heart."

Harry said goodbye to Eric gratefully, packed his bag and set off on a new journey. His goal was to cross an ancient and mysterious forest, which was said to be full of unknown dangers and opportunities, and was an ideal place for wizards of all generations to hone themselves.

Walking on the forest path, Harry felt the tranquility and mystery all around him. The trees were tall, blocking out the sun, and only a faint sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves onto the ground. Harry walked forward cautiously, vigilantly observing the movements around him.

"This forest is full of unknown forces, I must always be vigilant." Harry reminded himself in his heart. He took every step carefully, avoiding stepping on any place that might trigger a trap.

Suddenly, a breeze blew and Harry felt a chill. He stopped and listened carefully, and heard a slight rustling sound. Harry quickly drew out his wand, ready to deal with possible attacks.

A shadow rushed out from the bushes and rushed towards Harry. Harry quickly cast a spell, "Stupefy!" A beam of light shot out and hit the shadow, and the shadow fell to the ground immediately.

Harry walked closer and saw that it was a wounded magical creature. It looked like a giant owl, but with wisdom in its eyes. Harry's heart moved, and he realized that the creature had no malicious intent, but just mistook him for an enemy.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Harry said softly, reaching out his hand to try to comfort the creature. The owl-like creature looked at Harry, a trace of trust gradually appeared in its eyes, and slowly stood up.

"You are injured, I can help you." Harry said, casting a simple healing spell, slowly injecting magical power into the creature. The creature's wounds gradually healed, and the light in its eyes became softer.

Harry felt a warm sensation, and realized that he was not only honing his strength, but also learning how to live in peace with the creatures around him. He continued to move forward, and the creature followed behind him, as if it had become his partner.

In the next few days, Harry experienced many challenges. He encountered ferocious magical beasts and passed through dangerous traps, and each time he successfully resolved them with his own wisdom and strength. He felt that he was becoming stronger and stronger, and his inner faith became stronger and stronger.

One evening, Harry came to an open meadow. He decided to stop here and do a deep meditation to review his experiences and gains during this period.

He sat on the grass, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and felt the magical power in his body. He recalled every battle and challenge, and felt that he was constantly growing and improving.

"Purity of power is not just about being strong, but also about controlling and understanding yourself." Harry muttered to himself. He felt the magical power in his body become more balanced and harmonious, as if it had merged with himself.

Just then he heard a deep and familiar voice, "Harry Potter, what are you doing here?"

Harry opened his eyes and saw an old wizard standing not far away, with wisdom in his eyes. It was Professor Flitwick, a professor he had met at Hogwarts.

"Professor, I'm training myself." Harry stood up and replied respectfully.

Professor Flitwick nodded and stepped closer to Harry, "I see your progress, Harry. You are on the right path. But remember, true power lies not only in personal improvement, but in working with others."

Harry felt a shock, and he realized that although he was constantly improving his strength, he also needed to learn to cooperate with others to face future challenges together.

"Thank you for your guidance, Professor." Harry said sincerely, "I will remember your words and face future challenges together with my friends."

Professor Flitwick smiled and nodded, "Very good, Harry. Remember, pure strength lies in inner determination and wisdom. No matter what difficulties you encounter, keep your faith, and you will be able to overcome everything."

Harry felt full of strength and hope. He knew he still had a lot to learn, but he was ready. No matter how difficult the road ahead was, he would meet every challenge with his friends.

At the end of summer vacation, Harry, Ron and Hermione boarded the Hogwarts Express and headed for their familiar destination. During the journey, they discovered something strange: a mysterious freshman was sitting alone in a compartment, and the air around him seemed to be distorted around him.
